Stay awake! With less than 1000U in capital, don’t use your credit card to send head to the crypto world.

This place is not a casino; it’s a battlefield of rules — the less money you have, the steadier you must be, akin to an old hunter crouching for prey.

Last year, Xiao Zhou, whom I took under my wing, is an example. Holding onto 600U made his palms sweat; he repeatedly asked me, "Bro, what if I lose it all with one trade?"

I didn’t give him a lecture; I simply said, "Follow my rules, and you won’t lose your capital."

Who would have thought, a month later, his account rose to 6000U, and in three months, it skyrocketed to 20,000U, with zero liquidation throughout.

Outsiders say he got lucky, but I know it was strict discipline at play.

First rule: Divide the money into three parts, and keep enough for recovery.

I had him split the 600U into three portions:

200U for short-term BTC and ETH, running away when the fluctuation hits 3%-5%; 200U for waiting for a trend, entering only when the daily signals are clear, holding for no more than 5 days;

The remaining 200U locked in a cold wallet, untouched even in extreme market conditions — this is the lifesaving card.

Second rule: Only follow trends, don’t waste time in sideways markets.

The market spends 70% of its time moving aimlessly, and frequent trading just means paying fees to the platform.

I taught him to close the software during sideways markets, wait for the 4-hour candlestick to give direction before acting, and take half the profit once he gains 12% — securing profits is more reliable than floating gains.

Third rule: Rules override emotions.

Set a stop-loss at 2% for each trade; when it hits the point, you must cut it off; once profits exceed 4%, reduce half the position and set a trailing stop for the rest.

Once, when $XRP dropped by 1.8%, he stubbornly stopped out, only to dodge a 30% crash afterwards. He later said that cut hurt, but he understood that "discipline is more important than the market conditions."

Those who dive in with a few thousand U in full positions, panic when it rises and trembles when it falls; they are fundamentally unstable. The winning edge with small capital is not about gambling, it’s about “making fewer mistakes.”

You don’t need to predict the market correctly every time, but you must adhere to the rules each time — this is the core of going from 600U to 20,000U.

Before, I was stumbling in the dark alone, now the light is in my hands.

The light is always on, will you follow? @不贪的阿 K
