#BTC资金流动性 Hard-earned money entering the crypto world, the biggest fear is losing it all in one go. Friends with accounts under a thousand U, listen to me: don’t rush to open positions.



The crypto market is a long-term game; those who survive the longest will laugh last. When you have less money, you must learn to restrain yourself—protect your principal first, then think about making money.

Last year, I met a guy whose account only had 500U. He was trembling when he pointed his finger at the trading button. His only thought was: "Quickly double my money and make a comeback." I told him a harsh truth at the time: "Learn to avoid liquidation first, then dream of making money."

Three months later, his balance surged to 18,000U. Throughout the process: zero liquidation, zero margin top-ups. This is not luck; it’s because he strictly followed three life-saving rules.

**Rule 1: Divide your funds into three parts, leave an escape route**

150U for short-term trading, only watch $BTC and $ETH. If volatility exceeds 3%, exit immediately—don’t chase tiny profits.

Another 150U for swing trading. Only enter after the daily chart shows genuine volume breakout or breakdown. Close each position within 5 days.

The remaining 200U is your safety fund. No matter how explosive the market gets, leave it untouched. This is your spark to climb from the bottom. Those who bet everything on a single shot are doomed with just one needle; but those who keep some reserves can withstand even the fiercest storms.

**Rule 2: Follow the trend, don’t get caught up in oscillations**

70% of the market time is sideways and frustrating. Opening and closing trades frequently is like working for the exchange—transaction fees just keep flowing out.

My strict entry rule is simple: When the 15-minute K-line shows continuous volume increase, and the daily MACD shows a golden or death cross, only then do I act.

Once profits reach 12%, take half off the table, and let the rest run with a 3% trailing stop. Let the system watch over it.

Any thoughts of "waiting for a pullback to add more" should be deleted. Losing trades are just that—losses. No adding to losing positions.

You might be wrong about the market direction, but discipline must not be broken. Rely on the system to control your hands, and you’ll survive longer.

Growing from 500U to 18,000U is essentially the power of compound interest—"fewer mistakes."

Small capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is always dreaming of a big turnaround in one shot. Stick these three rules on your screen, and every time you get itchy, recite: Leave an escape route, follow the trend, stay disciplined.

When the next big market wave comes, will you be calmly riding the wave or getting left behind? For small funds aiming for steady growth, try this rhythm—gradually grow your principal, it’s better than waking up from a one-night nightmare.

Once, I was blindly fumbling in the dark alone. Now, I hold the light in my hand. The light is always on—are you coming or not?

Honestly, just sticking to discipline isn't enough; you also have to lock up your emotions. The guy who went from 500 to 18,000 is not the most ruthless because he can do the math, but because he can withstand the lack of retaliatory trading.

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times, but the key still depends on whether you can truly stick to discipline.

Well said, but execution is difficult. When you only have a few hundred USD, it really tests your character. As soon as the market fluctuates, you want to go all in. I'm that kind of person who gets itchy; last time I almost went all in, but luckily I stopped in time.

Honestly, hearing about turning 500U into 18,000U is just for listening; the key is to have discipline. What I fear most are those who make 30% profit in one month and then get liquidated the next.
