Remember when I first started, holding 1500 U, my hands would shake before every trade. The numbers bouncing on the screen directly corresponded to my heartbeat.

Seeing others share their profits on social media, I would definitely feel tempted. But I know my own limits — this initial capital can't withstand big waves. So I realized the first lesson in the crypto world: between the dream of getting rich quickly and the reality of liquidation, you must find a balance.

After four months, my account broke 19,000 U. In half a year, it grew to 35,000 U. Throughout the process, I never got liquidated. Today, I want to share this "steady strategy."

**Being alive is the top priority; making money is just a bonus**

I divided the 1500 U into three parts of 500 U each, with clear tasks for each.

**Pocket One: Sniper Funds (Intraday Quick Trades)**
Focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum, the "cornerstones," and exit decisively when volatility hits 2%-4%. The key is to accumulate small wins — don’t expect a big hit in one go. Intraday trading works like this — you don’t make much on a single trade, but consistently doing the right things will naturally lead to big wins.

**Pocket Two: Guerrilla Funds (Swing Trading)**
Hold positions for 2-4 days, which requires real patience. Focus on those with strong certainty of opportunity. I pay special attention to coins showing MACD golden crosses on the weekly chart; only act when the technical signals confirm.

**Pocket Three: Long-term Position**
This portion of funds is stored in mainstream coins, serving as the ballast of the account and psychological reassurance.

The three pockets operate independently, each fulfilling its own mission. The benefit of this approach is that even if one direction hits a pitfall, the overall account remains intact.
