For brothers holding a capital of 10,000 to 20,000 U, I sincerely advise you: in this market, surviving is a hundred times more important than making quick money.
I have seen too many people rush in with a few thousand U, chasing highs and lows every day, with their emotions led by the K-line, and the result is often that their accounts approach zero within ten days.
I was once one of them, thinking that 20,000 U could easily double, but I ended up watching my capital shrink to 8,000 U while blindly chasing high MEME coins and stubbornly holding onto losses.
The painful lesson made me understand that to survive and grow in the market with small funds, one must guard these three "safety lines":
First line: Position is life, never go all in
The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, with the average daily volatility often exceeding 10%. No matter how good the opportunity, never bet all your capital at once.
My own iron rule is: a single position should not exceed 30% of total capital, and at least 40% should be kept as reserve funds.
For example, when Bitcoin breaks a key position, I will only use part of my position to test, and after the trend is confirmed, I will consider increasing my investment in batches. This way, I can seize opportunities while avoiding being "washed" out by short-term fluctuations.
Second line: Stop-loss and take-profit are disciplines, not suggestions
Set clear stop-loss points (such as 3% of the total account) and take-profit targets, and execute them like a robot. Never fantasize about "waiting for a rebound" when losing, and do not be greedy for "a little more increase" after profit.
For instance, I previously withdrew half of my profits immediately after ADA rose by 22%, which helped me preserve my capital during subsequent pullbacks. Many people incur losses precisely because of the mentality of "not wanting to leave when in floating profit, and stubbornly holding on when losing."
Third line: Only earn money within your understanding, refuse FOMO
For the "hundred times coins" that are hyped up in the group, if I do not understand their business logic and risk points, I resolutely do not touch them.
In 2025, multiple altcoins with no substantial implementation plummeted over 70%, which was precisely the painful lesson of blind followers. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is your prepared understanding and capital.
According to statistics, the loss rate of cryptocurrency investors in 2025 reached 83%, most of which stemmed from emotional operations by small capital holders.
True steady profits come from adhering to rules rather than gambling on luck. If you are tired of the roller coaster of your account, you might as well start rebuilding your trading system from these three lines—slow is fast; stability leads to distance.
