When your account doesn't have much money, the most important thing to learn isn't how to make quick money, but how to survive longer.

I once saw someone start with 500U and, in three months, their account grew to 18,000U, all while avoiding liquidation and additional insurance. There’s no magic to this—it's simply because from day one, he understood a principle: with small funds, if you want to go all-in, a single mistake can send you back to square one.

**Multiple Accounts, Distribute Pressure**

With just a few hundred U in capital, the most fatal mistake is putting all your chips into one direction. The correct approach is to split your funds into three parts, each with its own purpose.

The first part accounts for 30%, dedicated to short-term trading. Only trade top coins like BTC and ETH, and set a clear stop-loss— for example, exit if volatility exceeds 3%. The goal with small funds isn't to double your money in one shot, but to accumulate profits through repeated small wins, which helps keep your mindset stable.

The second part also accounts for 30%, for swing trading. Be patient and wait for genuine breakout signals on the daily chart. Once you enter, set a time limit— for example, hold no longer than 5 days. Honestly, 70% of the market time is spent oscillating, so there's no need to chase in and out every day; that’s just self-delusion.

The remaining 40% is absolutely off-limits. Some call it the "lifesaver position." When a black swan event occurs, it might really hit. If you've been going all-in before, you’ll likely be forced out. But if you've reserved enough insurance, you can withstand two or three consecutive setbacks.

**Follow the Trend, Don’t Fight the Volatility**

Most of the time, the market is just wandering within a range. True opportunities usually appear when a trend on a cycle level is established. Small investors should focus on waiting for and recognizing these high-probability setups, rather than frequently entering and exiting during daily fluctuations.

The benefit of this approach is reducing the number of trades, lowering transaction costs, and easing psychological pressure. Every trade should be calculated, and every trade should have a purpose.
