Starting with 5000 yuan, can you really make money trading?

Yes. But the premise is not to expect overnight riches. Many people take this money and want to double it quickly, but most end up getting wiped out by high leverage. I've seen it too many times. In fact, with the right mindset, this amount of money is enough for you to grow it slowly.

**How to do it? Three key actions**

Start with a small position. Take out 100U (about 15% of your total funds), and use 3x leverage. Don’t overthink it—just find mainstream coins with manageable volatility, and wait for them to retest key support levels before entering.

The goal is simple—aim for a 20-30% increase and then exit. Don’t be greedy. This step is to verify whether your judgment is correct and to experience the market’s rhythm. Make 20-30U profit, and then what?

**Key step: immediately withdraw the principal**

After making a profit, immediately take back the initial 100U principal. Only use the profits for the next trade. It sounds simple, but this step changes your mindset—after this, even if you lose, your principal is already safe. Use profits to take risks, and the heavy feeling in your heart will disappear, making your operations clearer.

**Next, repeat this process**

Keep looking for assets with clear patterns, such as bottom divergence or stabilization signals. When you see them, use your profit to increase your position. But there’s a bottom line—keep positions light, use low leverage (3 to 5x), and if you make a little profit, don’t try to add more. That’s not trading; that’s gambling.

**The easiest trap to fall into**

Seeing profits and starting to add more, especially with 50x or 100x leverage. Honestly, that’s just giving money to the exchange. How much you can compound from 5000 yuan depends on your discipline, not on bottom-fishing.

People who survive in the crypto world never rely on luck. They rely on taking manageable risks to accumulate gains. 5000 yuan is enough for you to learn this.
