If you are a small fund below $5,000 and want to multiply your money by 100 times in a bull market, don't leverage.

For Brother Mao, below $5,000 and $500 are no different; both are in the initial accumulation stage and haven't yet the strength to accelerate.
These 10 pieces of experience might save your life—especially point 8, where most people lose money.
1. Small funds should know how to "wait," not "full"
A principal of 200k yuan is enough to capture a 30% increase in 2-3 mainstream coins.
The biggest fear in a bull market isn't missing out, but being fully invested and getting trapped.
Those who dare to hold cash are the true hunters.
2. Practice "not losing" first, then learn "earning"
The most expensive phrase in the crypto world: "I think this time is different."
People can only earn within their understanding; start with a demo account, stabilize your mindset before trading with real money.
Remember: losing once in real trading might mean no second chance.
3. Good news = bad news? Beware of "news traps"
On the day major good news is announced, if the price has already surged, a high open the next day is often a selling point.
Whales understand better how to use good news to cut leeks.
4. Do one thing before holidays
Data from the past 5 years shows a probability of over 70% for declines one week before holidays.
Either reduce your position or go fully cash during the holiday—don't fight the trend.
5. The core of medium-long term: always keep bullets
Don't use all your chips at once.
Sell in parts during rises, buy in parts during dips; cash flow is your moat.
6. For short-term trading, focus on two words: momentum
Sudden increase in volume + breakout of resistance levels, follow immediately.
If it consolidates with low volume, better to miss the trade than make a mistake.
7. Is a sharp drop an opportunity?
Slow decline or downward trend indicates no buyers, and may continue falling.
A sudden drop with high volume is often the final smash; a rebound is imminent.
8. 90% of people die on this point
"Just wait a bit, and you'll break even" is the biggest illusion.
Stop-loss quickly, take profits slowly.
Losing 50% of your capital requires a 100% gain to recover—are you sure you can do that?
9. Short-term tool: 15-minute KDJ
Buy on golden cross, sell on death cross, combined with volume to filter false signals.
Suitable for those who don't have time to watch the charts constantly.
