How to Make Money with Small Capital in Crypto? Instead of dreaming of getting rich overnight, it's better to focus on surviving longer and gradually increasing your assets—that's the reality.

Having been in the crypto world for many years, I've seen too many people dream of turning their hundreds of dollars into a fortune. And what’s the result? They get wiped out in less than two weeks due to liquidation and have to exit quietly. But I know a friend who started with 800U, doubled it to 30,000U in two months, and now his account is stable above 37,000U. Throughout the process, he never got liquidated. This is definitely not luck. I personally went from 5,000U to consistent profits, and the core logic is this set of principles.

**Step 1: Position Sizing and Always Keep a Backup**

Divide your initial capital into three parts—that’s key. For example, with 800U—use the first part for day trading, focusing on one trade per day, and exit immediately once the target is reached; the second part for swing trading, avoid chasing small fluctuations, wait for a clear trend to emerge before entering, aiming to catch big moves over 10%; the third part is your safety net, never touch it—this is your capital for turning things around.

Most people make the mistake of "all-in" in one shot, pushing all chips into a single trade. The result? One loss and no backup. Remember this: staying alive is more important than anything.

**Step 2: Keep an Eye on the Big Picture, Don’t Open Random Trades**

About 80% of the time in crypto, the market is oscillating. Frequent trading just hands over fees to the exchange. If the market consolidates for more than 3 days, just close the software and wait. Wait until the price breaks below the consolidation zone or stabilizes above key moving averages before entering.

When profits exceed 20% of your principal, withdraw 30% to lock in gains. Quietly wait for opportunities to knock, and once they do, execute steadily—this is a hundred times more reliable than daily reckless trading.

**Step 3: Use Rules to Tame Emotions**

Trading is a battle against your greed and panic. Three ironclad rules must be followed strictly:
- Set stop-loss at 2%, and cut immediately when hit—no hesitation
- When profits exceed 4%, halve your position and let the remaining profit run
- During losses, never add to your position—don’t think about lowering your average cost to turn things around

The secret to making money is letting rules help you withstand human weaknesses.

**Small Capital Is Never the Problem; Mindset Is**

Impatience is the biggest enemy. If you still lose sleep over a few hundred dollars’ rise and fall, and don’t know how to manage funds or catch trends, I’m happy to share the pitfalls I’ve encountered over the years. Avoid detours, survive longer, earn more steadily—that’s the right approach for small capital.
