Insufficient funds of 1000U? Don't rush to go all in! Playing in the crypto world with small funds, the biggest fear is reckless impulsiveness, but with the right approach, you can still achieve steady growth.



I once saw a novice trader who only had 600U in capital. At first, every trade made his palms sweat, fearing that a small mistake would wipe out his account. Later, he strictly followed trading discipline, and as a result, his account grew to 6,000U in one month, surpassing 20,000U in three months, all without a single liquidation. This is not luck; it's the effectiveness of the methodology.

For small funds to survive and profit, the core is these three ironclad rules:

**Divide Funds into Three Parts**

Split the principal into three equal parts of 33% each: the first part for short-term trading of mainstream coins, aiming for quick 3%-5% gains and then taking profits; don’t be greedy. The second part is for trend swings, which is relatively more stable, focusing on medium-term market movements. The third part is for the core holding, which you never touch regardless of how hot the market is—this acts as a psychological safety net, preventing total loss in extreme situations.

The benefit of this allocation is that even if the first two parts perform poorly, the core holding remains, and the account won't be wiped out instantly.

**Follow Trends, Avoid Volatility**

Many beginners like to trade every small fluctuation, but end up getting repeatedly cut in volatile markets. Small funds can't withstand such tossing. The correct approach is: only act when a clear trend is identified, and when profits reach 12%, take out half to lock in gains and turn paper profits into real ones. The numbers on the screen will change, but having the money in hand is the real gain.

**Discipline Stop-Loss and Emotional Management**

Cut losses immediately if they exceed 2% of your account—don’t hold onto hope. When profits reach 4%, reduce your position size by half to lock in some gains. Most importantly: never add to losing positions to average down—that’s the easiest way to blow up your account.

Gambler mentality is the deadliest in crypto. Those hoping to turn things around with one big move often end up losing everything in one shot. True profitable traders rely on discipline to restrain themselves and on time to accumulate gains. You may not always catch the market perfectly, but as long as you stick to the rules, you can survive long-term in the crypto space.

Turning small funds into a fortune is not a dream; the key is to use the right rhythm and stick to discipline. Are you ready?

Basically, don't gamble and have discipline... But honestly, I've heard quite a few cases where $600 turns into $20,000.

That's right, I'm just worried that if it breaks below the support level, I'll go all-in immediately...

Honestly, I've heard the story of 600U rising to 20,000 many times, but that 2% stop-loss really hit me. I used to be reluctant to cut my losses at 5%, and in the end, I ended up with a complete wipeout.

It sounds right, but the real challenge is execution... Did that guy really turn 600U into 20,000? Feels like I've heard too many stories.
