When your account only has a few hundred dollars, you've definitely experienced the trembling feeling of pressing the order button. The only thought in your mind is: quickly double your money. But what I want to say is that the crypto world has never been a casino; it's a contest of who can survive longer.

I once guided a fan whose account balance was only 500U, and every operation was calculated with the idea of "this time I want to double." At that time, his biggest fear was liquidation. I told him one thing: "Don't think about making money, first learn not to get liquidated." As a result, after 90 days, his account grew from 500U to 18,000U, all without any liquidation or margin topping. This wasn't luck; it was purely because he followed three "life-saving rules."

**Rule 1: Separate your eggs**

The most common way to die with small funds is to go all-in and out. Anyway, the money isn't much, so you think, give it a shot, but then one slip and you're back to zero. My approach is to split the funds into three parts.

Short-term positions account for 30%, only trading mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, and closing immediately if volatility exceeds 3%, to avoid giving the market a chance to hit back. Swing positions also account for 30%, entering only when clear signals appear on the daily chart, with each position held no more than 5 days. The remaining 40% is "life-saving money," which you absolutely do not touch during extreme market conditions—this is your only spark for a comeback.

By diversifying your funds, you reduce the pressure and gain the capacity to make mistakes. Instead of risking all your chips on a single decision.
