Investors with a principal below 1000U should stay calm and avoid rushing into blind actions. The crypto world is not a place to gamble on luck; it’s a market that values systems and discipline.

A real case left a deep impression— a novice entered with 800U, and in two months, the account grew to 18,000U. Now it’s close to 30,000U, and throughout the process, there was not a single liquidation. This is not luck; it’s because of mastering three core logics, which is also my secret to growing from 5,000U to now, without constantly watching the charts.

**Step 1: Diversify allocation, don’t go all-in**

Dividing 800U into three parts is the optimal strategy:

- 300U for intraday fluctuations—focus on mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, capture small swings to earn 3-5 points, then take profits immediately. Greed only leads to getting bitten back;
- 300U for swing trading—wait for clear market signals (such as changes in spot ETF fund flows or policy movements), once signals appear, set a holding period of 3-5 days, and hold steadily;
- The remaining 400U is the lifeline—no matter how exaggerated the bottom drops or the top surges, this money acts as insurance, a chip to turn the tide when the account hits bottom.

Many small capital traders go all-in, dreaming when the market rises and panicking when it falls. Too many get out because they fail to protect their principal; surviving is more important than making big money.

**Step 2: Only pursue certain opportunities, rest the rest**

Honestly, most of the time in crypto is spent draining your patience and paying fees. Frequent trading is just contributing to the platform; without a clear trend, it’s better to lie flat, watch shows, or binge series than to operate blindly.

Wait for the real opportunity—such as major coins stopping their decline at key support levels or breaking through long-term resistance. When that happens, enter the market. Once profits reach 15% of the principal, withdraw half immediately. That’s real earning. The numbers flashing in your account are just virtual; only real cash in hand counts.

People who can make steady profits understand one principle: pretend to be dead most of the time, then bite when the opportunity arises and run.

**Step 3: Use rules to constrain yourself, don’t let emotions hijack your trades**

The stop-loss red line is 1.5%. Once reached, cut immediately—no room for luck or hesitation;
When profits exceed 3%, reduce half of the position immediately; let the remaining profits run;
During losses, absolutely forbid adding positions or averaging down— that’s a deepening trap leading nowhere.

It’s not necessary to perfectly grasp every market move, but every operation must be correct. The essence of making money lies here: let rules manage your trades, don’t let a hot-headed decision ruin the entire account.

In the end, having a small principal is not the problem; what’s terrifying is the mindset of always trying to “turn it around in one shot.” With 800U growing to 30,000U, it’s not luck— it’s about not being greedy, staying calm, and following the rules.
