If your principal is less than 1000 USDT, don’t rush to go all in.

The crypto market is not about being aggressive, but about survival. Stay alive, and the bull market will naturally give you a lift.

I’ve seen a newcomer start with 800 USDT, being so cautious he was almost timid. As a result, he grew his funds to 18,000 USDT in two months, and nearly 30,000 USDT by the third month, with zero liquidation events during that time.

Was it luck? No, he simply stuck to three ironclad rules.

# Rule 1: Layer Your Funds, Never Go All In

Break your principal into three portions:

• **300 USDT for day trading**: Only touch mainstream coins like BTC or ETH, and exit as soon as you catch a 3%-5% small move. Don’t overstay, don’t be greedy.

• **300 USDT for swing trading**: Wait for a clear trend signal in the market, combined with major news, then hold for 3-5 days to capture structural moves.

• **400 USDT as your last resort**: This money is off-limits to everyone. Don’t chase pumps or buy dips with it—it’s your last safeguard if you need to start over.

Remember: Those who get liquidated have only one position; those who make a comeback always keep three backup plans.

# Rule 2: Cut Ineffective Trades, Focus on Core Opportunities

90% of the time, the crypto market is choppy and draining. If you trade frequently, you’re just paying fees to the platform.

No direction? Close your apps. No trend? Pretend you’re offline.

Wait until BTC holds a key support level or ETH breaks through previous resistance before considering an entry.

Profit reaches 15% of your principal? Withdraw half to lock in gains. The numbers in your account are always virtual—only the money in your hand is real.

Every truly profitable trader believes this:
Lurk most of the time, strike when the opportunity comes.

# Rule 3: Let Discipline Replace Emotion

• Set your stop-loss at 1.5%. If triggered, cut the loss without hesitation.

• When profits hit 3%, cut your position by half and let the rest run.

• Never add to losing trades—averaging down only makes it easier to get wiped out halfway up a move.

You don’t have to be right on direction every time, but you must execute the right strategy every time.

Earning money comes from a systematic approach; liquidation is always the result of emotional decisions.

To be honest:

Having a small principal isn’t scary. What’s scary is dreaming of overnight riches with just a few hundred USDT.

Turning 800 USDT into 30,000 USDT boils down to this core logic: don’t be greedy, don’t panic, and stick to the rules.

If you’re still stressing over swings of a few dozen USDT, don’t understand position management, can’t wait for signals, or don’t set stop-losses—

What you lack isn’t luck, but a repeatable methodology.

The market dynamics are already shifting. The next person to seize the opportunity could be you.

BTC, SOL, and other mainstream coins are entering a window of volatility. Small funds absolutely have a chance to double through disciplined trading. The key is whether you’re willing to change your approach starting now.
