#数字资产市场动态 Someone often asks me:

If I only have three thousand dollars, can I still turn things around in the crypto market?

My answer is straightforward—hoping to get rich overnight is basically a pipe dream; but growing your account to tens of thousands is actually a clear path. The only condition: avoid pitfalls.

Three thousand dollars is roughly over 400 USD. Relying on spot trading to slowly accumulate is highly inefficient; but using contracts doesn’t mean going all-in, it’s about slicing, controlling the pace, and running short-term trades. A more effective approach is to diversify the principal, investing only 100U each time, avoiding chasing big trends, and focusing on small swings.

100 → 200 → 400 → 800, up to three consecutive rounds. Why limit the number of rounds? Because at this stage, luck plays a role; the more times you try, the easier it is to wipe out the gains made earlier.

If you successfully complete these three rounds, your account will be around 1000U. At this level, your methodology needs an upgrade.

The next steps are divided into three levels:

**Level One — Ultra-short Term**: Focus only on 15-minute candlesticks, trade only the most liquid coins, enter and exit quickly and precisely, with very small positions, purely to speed up capital turnover;

**Level Two — Fixed Strategy**: Use smaller positions with about ten times leverage to trade 4-hour structures, aiming for a stable win rate, and isolate the profits earned so they aren’t risked again;

**Level Three — Trend Following**: Not many positions, but once the direction is confirmed, let it run. Don’t gamble at the bottom or guess the top; only consider risk-reward ratio, cut losses decisively if wrong, and hold if right.

At the core, this logic boils down to two points:

**Divide your funds, split your cycles.**

When your capital is small, survival is always more important than growth; only when your funds grow enough should you consider efficiency, increasing flexibility, and earning comfortably.

Those who try to take shortcuts from the start often end up quitting halfway through.

Now is actually a good time to apply this method.
