#数字资产市场动态 Starting from $1,500, I spent four months growing the account to $45,200—no contracts, no leverage, only rules and patience.

My methodology isn't complicated; it boils down to three core actions, specially designed for small funds:

**Step 1: Positioning and Division of Labor**

Split $1,500 into three parts, $500 each, with different roles. The first part is for intraday swings, taking profits at 3%—greed is the biggest enemy; the second part waits for trend opportunities, staying out if there's less than 15% confidence; the last part is the lifeline, never touching the market even if the trend looks tempting. This isn't cowardice, but conserving bullets for the next battle. Going all-in and getting wiped out once would waste all previous effort.

**Step 2: Only Take Sure Wins**

Most of the market time is choppy, and the smartest move then is to close the app and avoid acting smart. Wait until the trend truly breaks out and forms before entering, increasing your win rate. After entering, lock in profits at 25%, take some off the table immediately, and let the rest follow the trend.

**Step 3: Discipline as DNA**

Three bottom lines: single trade loss cannot exceed 2% of the principal; cut losses promptly when the time is right; take half profits when gains reach 5%, and set stop-loss on the rest; never add to a losing position—this is deadly.

Most of these four months, I was waiting. While others cut losses in the choppy market, I was in hibernation; while others doubled down trying to recover losses, I stopped out and moved on. For small funds to turn around, the key word is—stability. Survive with position sizing, profit with trends, and protect gains with discipline. I did take some losses early on, but those lessons were worth it, and now they are the best textbooks I have.
