People often ask: I don't have much capital and no insider information. How can I make my first big profit in the crypto space?

My answer is: rely on "stability," but this stability sounds simple in theory, and the real challenge is sticking to the discipline.

Last year, I tried this approach myself. Starting with 1500U in spot trading, after four months, my account grew to 45,200U. I never touched futures, nor did I dream of 100x leverage; I simply followed the rules of compound interest.

**First, let's talk about the first step: how to split your position to survive longer**

I divided 1500U into three parts, each 500U, with different tasks. The first part is for intraday quick trades—take profit as soon as you gain 3%, never be greedy; the second part waits for major trends—only enter when there's a confirmed breakout signal of over 15%; the third part is kept as insurance—regardless of mainstream coins skyrocketing, I don’t touch them. This way, I avoid full liquidation due to a single wrong decision.

**Next, how to handle sideways markets**

What is the real situation in the crypto world? Most of the time, prices are consolidating. Frequent trading during these periods only increases the risk of getting caught in a loss trap. My learned method is: during consolidation, just close the trading software and stop watching the charts. Wait until the K-line shows a clear breakout pattern and volume confirms it before opening new positions. This significantly improves win rate. Once profits reach 25%, I withdraw part of the principal, and for the remaining position, I set a trailing stop-loss to protect gains—even if there's a pullback later, I’ve already made a profit.

**Finally, discipline is the core**

I print out three rules and stick them next to my screen: a single-loss limit of 2% of total capital—when hitting the stop-loss price, I must cut; take profit at 5%, immediately close half of the position, and set a break-even stop for the rest; most importantly—never add to losing positions. Doubling down on losing trades is a prelude to liquidation.

Small capital recovery is never achieved by going all-in on a single trade. The key is to survive by splitting your positions and lock in profits with strict discipline. Stay calm, follow the rules, and time will reward you.
