Honestly, friends holding less than 1000U, don't blindly go all-in. Let me share a few heartfelt words. This circle isn't about luck; it's about discipline and strategy. I once taught a beginner to start with 800U, and in two months, it grew to 18,000U. Now, the account is close to 30,000U. Throughout the process, I never got liquidated. Some might say that's luck? Wrong.

That's the three core principles I summarized for "making money just by staying alive"—also the secret to my persistence from a 5000U principal without needing to watch the market every day.
**First Rule: Money should be divided into three pools, going all-in is a dead end**
Take 300U to trade intraday volatility. Watch the small fluctuations of $BTC and $ETH daily, take profits at 3-5%, then exit—never greedy; another 300U for swing trading. When a real big trend arrives (like policy shifts or market hot spots), enter and hold for 3-5 days, prioritizing stability over quick gains. The remaining 400U should be kept in reserve—no matter how much it drops or rises, this money is your insurance. When the market hits bottom, it gives you the confidence to turn things around.
I've seen too many people risking hundreds of dollars all-in, getting excited when prices rise, panicked when they fall. Remember: surviving is more valuable than anything. Having money in hand is the only way to turn the tide.
**Second Rule: Only chase big trends, don’t chase small profits**
Most days in crypto are frustrating; frequent trading is just paying unnecessary fees to exchanges. When there's no trend, close your eyes and relax—lying flat is a thousand times more comfortable than reckless operations. Wait for real opportunities—like $BTC stabilizing at a key support level or $ETH breaking previous highs—and then trade seriously. When profits reach 15% of your principal, take half out immediately. Real profit is when the money hits your pocket; the numbers on the screen are just illusions.
Experienced traders understand: "Pretend to be dead most of the time, but when the trend comes, bite and then withdraw."
**Third Rule: Use rules to tame yourself, don’t let emotions decide**
Set stop-loss at 1.5%, cut losses when reached—don’t think about lucky reversals; when profits exceed 3%, halve your position immediately, and let the rest run. Once in a loss, hold firm—adding to losing positions is suicide—more adds to the trap, and the trap gets worse.
You don’t need to guess the right direction every time, but you must operate correctly every time. What’s the truth about making money? Let systems and discipline manage your trades; don’t let your hot-headedness ruin your entire account.
Having less capital isn’t the problem; the real issue is the mindset of "turning things around with one big move." Starting with 800U and growing to 30,000U isn’t about luck; it’s about not being greedy, not losing control, and following rules. To survive longer in this market, remember: position management and mental discipline always come before technical analysis.
