Don't swipe away! If you have a few hundred U in your pocket and want to dive into the crypto circle, first ask yourself with a clear conscience: are you here to make money, or to send people to the market?
I've been in this circle for 8 years, and I've seen too many people enter the market with 800 U, only to lose it all in 3 days — it's not that they're unlucky, they simply don't understand the survival logic of small capital. On the contrary, last year, a fan followed my methods with 950 U, and after half a year, he actually rolled it up to 28,000 U without ever experiencing the panic of a 'halved account'. Today, I'm sharing these three fundamental rules with you; remember them well, they're more useful than any analyst's predictions!
Iron Law One: 'Three-three system' for dividing positions, weld the back road shut.
Small capital most fears 'putting all eggs in one basket'! I never let fans put money in one basket, but divide it into three parts:
300U for day trading: only focus on those top three mainstream coins by market value, if it fluctuates 3%-5%, stop immediately, don’t be greedy for 'a little more'. Remember, small capital earns 'little by little', not 'a leap to the sky'.
300U for swing trading: wait for the market to give a clear breakout signal before acting, hold positions for 3-5 days and take profits. Those who watch the market every day during sideways periods and can't help but place orders are just paying fees to the platform; I call this the 'fee assassin victim'.
350U as a backup: this part of the money should not be moved even if the sky falls! Even when seeing an 'epic market', hold back; it is your confidence not to collapse mentally and also the spark for your next entry.
Iron Law Two: 'Date the trend', don’t 'entangle with the fluctuations' blindly.
The market spends 80% of the time 'sideways fishing', and only 20% of the time will it 'run swiftly'. The most common mistake beginners make is to 'buy high and sell low' every day during the sideways period; by the time the real trend comes, the money in hand has already been lost significantly.
My approach is: when there is no signal, just 'lie flat', binge-watch dramas when it's time to watch, eat when it's time to eat; once I see a clear trend (like three consecutive large bullish candles breaking through resistance), I decisively enter the market, taking profits of 15% first—money taken is mine, those numbers floating in the account are no different from 'drawing a pie'.
Remember: a master is not 'frequent in action', but 'high in winning rate'. Rather than wasting away in fluctuations, it’s better to wait for the trend to come and 'strike decisively'.
Iron Law Three: Let the rules control your hands, don’t let emotions 'take charge'.
The scariest thing in the crypto world is not the market fluctuations, but people's 'greed' and 'fear'. I have seen people who reluctantly cut losses when they hit the stop-loss point, ending up with their accounts going to zero; I have also seen people panic and sell when they make a little profit, missing out on the big market later.
So I set a strict rule for fans: a single stop-loss must not exceed 2%; when the point is hit, it’s like pressing the 'pause button' to exit immediately; when profits exceed 4%, reduce half the position, let the remaining profits 'grow freely'; even if a wrong buy happens, absolutely do not average down—averaging down is not 'saving the scene', it’s throwing more money into the fire pit.
Lastly, let me say something heartfelt: a small principal is not scary, what’s scary is being 'both poor and anxious'. Turning 950U into 28,000U, it’s not the market that earns it, but that 'self who can control their hands and adhere to the rules'.
If you are currently worrying with small capital, first write these three iron laws in your notes. Pull them out to check before your next operation, it’s more useful than asking 10 'teachers'. Follow me, and I will also teach you how to read signals for mainstream coins, how to seize swing trading opportunities with small capital—we’re not chasing the 'dream of overnight wealth', just doing 'steady and consistent gains'!
