Blood, sweat, and tears money into the crypto world, the biggest fear is paying tuition fees. Especially when the account only has a few hundred U, instead of dreaming of getting rich overnight, it's better to learn how to survive longer.

The essence of the crypto space is not about gambling for big wins, but a jungle that tests patience. The less funds you have, the more restraint you need. Protect the principal first, making money is a later story.

There is a trader who started with only 500U in his account, and his hands were trembling. His mind was full of the words "quickly double." I poured cold water on him: "With small funds, learn not to blow up the account first, then talk about making money."

After 90 days, his account grew to 18,000U. The entire process involved zero liquidation and zero margin topping-up. It’s not luck; it’s all about following 3 "life-saving rules."

**Rule 1: Divide funds into three parts, leave yourself a way out**

150U for short-term trading. Only watch $BTC and $ETH, exit if volatility hits 3%, never fight the trend.

150U for swing trading. Enter only when the daily chart shows volume breakout or breakdown, hold no more than 5 days.

200U as a rescue fund. Absolutely avoid extreme market conditions, keep it for a turnaround. Those who go all-in and get stopped out with one needle, their account goes to zero immediately. Those with reserves can withstand even the biggest storms.

**Rule 2: Only follow trends, don’t chase oscillations**

70% of the market time is sideways. Frequent trading is like giving the exchange free labor.

The key is to find the right entry point. When the 15-minute K-line shows continuous volume and the daily MACD shows a golden or death cross, only then take action.

When profits reach 12%, take out half first. Let the remaining profit run naked, sticking to the logic of "once you start, bite the bullet."

**Rule 3: Lock in rules, cage your emotions**

Close a position immediately if it loses 2%, the computer automatically locks the screen to prevent further operation.

When profits reach 4%, take out half first, and set a 3% trailing stop for the remaining position.

Never add to losing positions. The idea of "waiting for a pullback to add" must be deleted.

Markets may go wrong, but discipline must not be broken. Rely on the system to control your hands, only then can you go far.

Turning 500U into 18,000U may look like huge profit, but in reality, it’s the power of compound interest from "making fewer mistakes."

Small capital is not scary. What’s scary is always thinking of a big turnaround, but end up losing everything.

Stick these rules next to your screen. When you feel itchy, recite: Leave a way out, follow the trend, stay disciplined.

The next major upward wave is coming. To stay steady on the ride instead of being thrown into the ditch, small funds aiming for a steady comeback should slowly grow their principal—that’s the way to win.
