Not much principal? Don't panic, if you follow the right method, you can still turn things around.

Many beginners just entering the market, with only a few thousand USD in hand, think about going all in at once. Most of the time, they end up paying tuition to the market. I've seen too many cases like this: starting with 3000 USD, steadily growing to over 60,000 USD in a month. It's not luck, but discipline.

What are small funds most afraid of? Greed, impatience, and going all in at once. The real straightforward strategies for survival are actually quite simple:

**Divide your principal into three parts**
With 3000 USD, try 1000 USD first to test the waters, and keep the rest safe. Don’t impulsively add to positions just because the market looks good, and never chase the bottom and hold on hard—surviving is more important than anything.

**Only fight known battles**
Don’t touch markets you don’t understand. During volatile periods, avoid reckless chasing; wait for the right rhythm before entering, and gradually take profits in segments.

**Let profits generate more money**
Made 500 USD? Don’t rush to withdraw and celebrate. Roll this 500 USD into the next trade, and let the money work for you. Compound interest is powerful, and over time, its effect is astonishing.

**Know when to stop**
No matter how fierce the market is, secure your gains. Increasing your holdings depends on accumulating small wins, not reckless bets. Set your stop-loss levels clearly, and exit when necessary.

The more minimal your principal, the more effective this approach is. Snowballs need to roll gradually; rushing doesn’t work. Many people are too impatient, and as a result, they lose more and more.

Remember: To turn things around in this market, it’s not about luck, but about reliable methods and proper execution. When the bull market truly arrives, you'll already be several steps ahead of others.

The market doesn't believe in tears; it only rewards those who are prepared.
