I have seen too many newbies in the crypto world: holding five hundred bucks, they hear some inside information and go all in on an altcoin whose name they can't even pronounce, staying up all night watching the market, only to be met with a plummet that leaves their account with hardly anything. This is the most fatal mistake that small capital players are prone to making.

Last year, a friend came to me to talk, saying he only had five hundred bucks of spare money and wanted to see if he could quickly double it. My advice was very straightforward: don't rush into trading, you need to understand three iron rules. Three months later, he sent me a screenshot - eighteen thousand bucks, and he hadn't added a single cent during that time.

This set of methodology brought out today, if newbies follow this framework, they can at least avoid losses for three years.

**Step 1: Three-Part Position Survival Method**

The most fatal thing about small funds is not that they earn slowly, but that a single wave of market movement can wipe them out completely. I had him divide five hundred dollars into three parts, each with a completely different function:

One hundred and fifty bucks for intraday trading - only touch BTC, ETH and these top coins. As soon as the price fluctuation reaches one point five percent, take profit immediately. Don't complain about thin profits; small funds rely on compound interest accumulation. Don't expect to get rich overnight.

One hundred and fifty bucks for a swing ambush—waiting for daily-level opportunities, which means a continuous three days of trading volume expanding by more than twenty-five percent, and the price remains steadily above the support level. Once in, hold for a maximum of four days; when the time is up, close the position without being greedy.

The remaining two hundred dollars is the untouched treasury—this money is the lifeline, and it should not be touched under any circumstances. Even if you see a once-in-a-century opportunity, you must hold back. The most heartbreaking fact in the crypto world is: opportunities in the market are endless, but if you lose all your capital, you will be directly out of the game.

Most newbies go all in as soon as they enter, and a small fluctuation shakes them out. The core logic is actually very simple: as long as you are alive, there is a chance to make money; if your account is zeroed out, everything is over.
