Your account balance is less than 5000U? Don't rush to act just yet, let me share a few heartfelt words with you.
The cryptocurrency market is not as simple as rolling dice, especially when the capital is small; staying steady is the key. Last year, I met a newcomer who had just entered the market with 4800U in hand and was extremely nervous during his first trade. I told him: take it slow, maintaining discipline is more important than anything else. What was the result? Two months later, the account grew to 62,000U, and four months later it soared directly to 157,000U, without a single liquidation in between.
Some people think this is luck? No. Being able to grow from a few thousand is based on three hardcore principles:
**First: Divide the money into three parts** Use 1600U for short-term trading, focusing on mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and take profits after a 3%-5% increase; additionally, use 1600U for medium-term positions, waiting for a clear trend before entering the market, holding for 3 to 5 days; what about the remaining 1600U? Keep it as insurance, and don’t touch it even in extreme market conditions. Those who go all in often feel excited when prices rise and panic when they fall, making it hard to survive the beginner phase. The ones who truly make money are those who always leave themselves an exit.
**Second: Take action only when there is an opportunity** The market is mostly in a sideways consolidation, and back-and-forth trading will only incur transaction fees. Wait for clear signals, and when there’s an opportunity, decisively enter the market. Take the first 12% profit and withdraw half - only when the money is in your pocket can it be considered real profit. I've seen his account double, yet he strictly takes profits according to the rhythm, not chasing highs or being greedy. This is how experienced traders play.
**Third: Rules are always more important than feelings** A single loss must not exceed 2%, and you must cut losses at the point; if profit exceeds 4%, first reduce half of the position and let the rest continue to run; do not increase the position when losing, and do not let emotions control your actions. You do not need to judge the direction correctly every time, but you must adhere to the rules every time—making money is about restraining the impulse to act recklessly through the system.
The principal amount is not really a problem; the problem is always wanting to turn everything around in one go. This market is not suitable for those who dream of getting rich overnight; it is only suitable for those who truly want to survive in the long term. If you have also experienced liquidation, it might be a good idea to start by reviewing your trading records.

You are right, small funds have to rely on discipline to make a living, otherwise you will get liquidated in no time.
I have tried this method of dividing into three parts, and it is indeed much better than going all in at once, although it earns slowly but lasts longer.
Turning small money into big money sounds great, but those who can truly survive are cold-blooded machines, devoid of emotions.
The stop loss part is the most challenging for human nature; it sounds easy but is really hard to implement.
There are too many people who go all in in the market, and they die quickly. I have seen quite a few, and it feels like a gambler's mentality.

Wait, 48,000 to 157,000? Isn't that a bit outrageous...

To be honest, it sounds ridiculous to turn 4800U into 157,000, what kind of luck is that... However, that method of splitting it up is quite interesting, much more reliable than my previous trap of just throwing it around.

In simple terms, it's discipline, nothing mysterious.

You are right, stop loss and take profit are the real lifelines. I used to be an All in party, but now my account has risen from four digits to five digits all thanks to discipline, not luck.

To be honest, going from 4800 to 157,000 sounds pretty exaggerated, but using this trick in three parts is indeed fierce. I just couldn't resist going all in once and lost everything back to square one... Now I’m just surviving on a 2% stop loss; it’s slow, but at least I’m still alive.

You are right, what small investors fear the most is trying to go all in for a comeback, but instead, they end up losing even faster.

Sounds good, but did that guy really not use leverage?

To be honest, I have heard this trap too many times, but how many can actually be executed?

To be honest, going all in really can't last through the newbie period.
