Small capital (less than 1500U), don't rush to open positions!
I've seen too many people holding just a few hundred or a thousand U, with the whole mind set on "doubling quickly," only to be liquidated and exit in less than half a month. But one of my new traders started with 1200U and reached 25,000U in 4 months, now their account is stable at over 38,000U — and they've never been liquidated once throughout the process. This is not luck; it's the core logic I used to go from 8,000U to financial freedom, and I'll break it down for you today: First, divide your funds into three parts; only then can you seize opportunities. Split 1200U into three 400U portions: The first part is for day trading, focusing on just 1 trade per day. When the target is reached, close it; never hold on to a losing position. The second part is for swing trading, avoiding small fluctuations. Wait until the trend is clear before entering, aiming for over 10% profit. The third part is your reserve, a trump card that you never move. This is your comeback tool during market downturns. Most people fail because they go all-in without an exit plan. Remember: surviving is the key to earning back. Second, focus on big trends; frequent trading is just giving away fees. 80% of the crypto market time is sideways, and opening trades frequently just costs you transaction fees. When there's no trend, be patient. For example, if BTC consolidates for over 3 days, just close the software; wait until it breaks the consolidation zone or stabilizes above key moving averages, then re-enter when the trend is clear. Moreover, take profits exceeding your principal by 20%, withdraw 30% first, and keep the rest to let profits run. "Stay still most of the time, but when you move, do so confidently" — this is more reliable than daily trading. Third, use rules to control emotions; avoid trading based on feelings. Set three ironclad rules in advance: Stop-loss at 2%, cut at the set point without hesitation, even if there's a rebound later, no regrets; When profits exceed 4%, reduce half of your position, let the remaining profits run; Never add to a losing position, don’t hold onto the illusion of "averaging down." You don't need to be right every time, but execution must be precise — the highest level of making money is letting rules withstand emotions, preventing greed or panic from disrupting your rhythm. Small capital is never an obstacle; rushing to get rich overnight is. Starting with 1200U and growing to 38,000U is not about gambling; it's about risk control and waiting for opportunities systematically. If you still lose sleep over a few hundred U's fluctuations, don't understand how to allocate funds or identify trends, I am happy to teach you this method step by step. Avoid three years of detours — often, the difference is understanding "how to be steady," not "how to be fast."
