#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 Small accounts want to survive? Let me tell you some honest words.
If your principal is less than 2,000 dollars, don’t rush to act. I’ve seen too many people with only $BTC and $ETH dreams, but they can’t even withstand the fluctuations when opening a position. Two years ago, I mentored a guy whose account was only 1,200 USD. At first, he was trembling even when placing orders, afraid that one mistake would wipe him out.
I told him—Crypto isn’t a casino, it’s mind-reading. Small capital needs to stay calm and patient, just like a hunter guarding the hunting ground, not shooting at every movement.
Three months later, his account surged to 15,000 USD. Two months after that, it hit 32,000 USD. Throughout the process, he never liquidated a position once. Someone says it’s luck? No. I don’t have time to boast, and I don’t believe in luck falling from the sky. It’s all about discipline.
**First Trick: The Three-Rule Method, Always a Way Out**
Divide your principal into three parts: - 500 USD for day trading, only follow Bitcoin and Ethereum, exit when volatility hits 3%-5% - 400 USD for swing trading, wait for real signals before acting, hold for 3-5 days for stability - 300 USD on the sidelines, don’t touch even if the market goes crazy—this is the confidence to turn things around
Look at those who go all-in? They get euphoric when prices rise, devastated when they fall, and can’t go far. Those who truly make money always keep a backup plan.
**Second Trick: Follow the Trend, Avoid Choppiness**
80% of the market time is just torment. Frequent trading? You’re just paying fees to the exchange.
If signals are unclear, just leave it be. When signals appear, act decisively. Take profits at 15%, then withdraw half—this is real profit-taking. What’s the rhythm of a master trader? Do nothing when there’s no clear move; when they act, it’s precise. When that guy’s account was growing, I saw him calmly collecting profits, not chasing or rushing—like taking a calming pill.
**Third Trick: Rules Are the Lifeline**
Set a stop-loss of no more than 2% per trade—if hit, exit immediately—no debate.
Take profit at over 4%, then cut your position in half, let the rest run with the profit. Never add to a losing position—that’s the easiest way to be emotionally hijacked.
You don’t need to predict the market every time, but you must always defend your line. Making money, in essence, is about controlling your impulsive heart with a system.
Remember—small capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is always thinking about “turning it all around in one shot.” From 1200 USD to 32,000 USD, it’s all about rules, patience, and discipline—none can be missing.
Previously, I was blindly crashing into walls; now I hold a light in my hand. The light is always on—are you following or not?

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice; few can truly endure it.

Really, the biggest enemy of small accounts is their own greed. Going from 1,200 to 32,000 sounds great, but only one out of ten people can stick to the rules.

Honestly, discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice. I’ve learned through experience that with a small principal, you should keep a good mindset and not always think about going all-in at once.

The Three Rules are indeed reliable; that's exactly how I do it. The key is not to be greedy; set your stop-loss and stay calm.

Well, that makes sense. It's just that those who jump in recklessly, how did they end up? I know in my heart.

This three-part approach sounds good, but the key still depends on whether you can truly stick to discipline. Most people forget after reading.

Damn, why didn't I hear about these three rules earlier? Now my account has already been wrecked by me.

Exactly right, but the key to the "Three Rules" is discipline. I see too many people who seem to understand it in theory, but when it comes to actual trading, they still go all-in and fight it out.

Actually, if you run a basic correlation matrix on retail account survival rates versus position sizing discipline, you'll find this "1200U to 32K" narrative completely ignores the selection bias inherent in survivorship. The math just doesn't hold up statistically.
