Crypto people are always shouting that the days are tough and that with less money, they can't survive. But I have seen the opposite example—when funds are tight, you actually shouldn't mess around recklessly.

Last year, I mentored an older brother who started with just 900U, and he couldn't even understand candlestick charts, purely going with his gut. Guess what happened? In three months, his account grew to 9500U, and after half a year, it broke 20,000U. He never liquidated his position.

Some say it's luck, but I can only smile. The market's luck is the most abundant, while self-discipline is the rarest. His secret to success isn't complicated—it's about mastering these few rules. Today, I'll reveal the underlying logic, giving you three ironclad rules.

**First Rule: Divide your money into three parts, don't go all-in**

Many newcomers put everything into one position when they enter, bragging when they make money, and pretending to be dead when they lose. For small funds wanting to survive longer, the first trick is position management. Take 1500U as an example:

500U for intraday trading—only trade mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, aiming for 3%-5% profit, then exit decisively. Don't try to catch the entire market move.

500U for medium-term—follow the weekly trend, wait for obvious breakout points (like moving average crossovers, support rebounds), holding for three to five days or even a week.

500U for cold storage—this is your life-saving fund. After the first two positions suffer heavy losses, this 500U can give you a chance to turn things around.

Why divide? Not to make quick profits. The bull market in crypto is short, and the bear market is long. Most of the time, you're just frictioning back and forth. Frequent trading ultimately just pays transaction fees to the exchange.

**Second Rule: Only eat the meat of big trends, don't gnaw on the bones of volatility**

80% of the market time is just dead-level oscillation, and only the 20% trend moves can really make your account grow.

Bullish breakout coming? Bitcoin weekly chart stays above MA20. No need to think twice—follow and chase. Sudden plunge? A drop of over 15% in a single day—enter in batches, and add to your position every time it drops another 5%.

The core idea is simple: don't bet on the direction, follow the trend to eat the meat. Act when it's time to act, hide when it's time to hide. This is the way for small funds to survive.
