Greed harms people. I’ve seen too many people try to double their money with just a few hundred dollars, only to get liquidated in the end. But there’s a beginner who started with 1200U, and in four months, grew it to 25,000U. Now the account is stable above 38,000U. Throughout the process, they never got liquidated.

There’s nothing mysterious behind this. I personally went from over 8,000U to financial freedom using this very method. For small amounts of money, the first lesson in trading is to learn "restraint."

**The 30% Capital Method, which is the prerequisite for survival**

Divide 1200U into three parts, each 400U. The first part is for intraday trading—look for one opportunity each day, exit at the target price, and don’t hold overnight. The second part is for swing trading—don’t chase small gains or losses, wait for a clear trend that can earn over 10% before acting. The third part is to hold tightly without moving—this is the capital for turning the tide when the market crashes.

Why do most people get wiped out? They invest all their money at once, and then it’s a dead end. Position management is the lifeline. Never risk more than 5% of your capital on a single trade. If you make a wrong judgment, you still have bullets for the next opportunity. This isn’t being timid; it’s about surviving to make money.

**Wait for the trend, don’t create trouble yourself**

Most of the time in the crypto market, prices are oscillating. Opening trades every day just pays trading fees to the exchange. When there’s no clear trend, the best approach is to put down your phone. For example, if BTC has been sideways for over three days, just close the app and take a break. Wait until it breaks below the consolidation zone or stabilizes above a key moving average—then the trend is truly emerging, and you can re-enter.

Once you’ve earned over 20% of your principal, take out the profits first. Let the profits work for you, and protect your principal. Once you master this rhythm, your account growth will become stable.
