Crypto small fund players often fall into a common misconception: treating market fluctuations like a casino, hoping to turn things around overnight. In reality, those who truly make money have long understood—this is not a game of guessing ups and downs, but one of execution and discipline determining success or failure.

The smaller the funds, the more you need to think in reverse. Instead of obsessing over whether your market judgment is correct, it’s better to first ensure you don’t make fatal mistakes. Surviving is the first step for small accounts to reverse their fortunes.

I know a friend whose initial capital was only 500U. At the start, his hands trembled when placing orders—fearful that one mistake would wipe him out immediately. My advice to him was straightforward: don’t focus on making quick money; master the trading rules first.

The results after three months were quite interesting: the account steadily grew to 18,000U, with zero liquidation records during that period.

Some say it was luck, but I don’t think so. The method he used isn’t hard to describe, nor is it overly simple; it boils down to three core principles, all sharpened through practical experience:

**Step 1: Capital Allocation System**

Divide the 500U into three parts—trading capital, trial-and-error fund, and reserve fund. Keep your on-exchange positions flexible—add when needed, reduce when necessary; outside the exchange, stash the reserve fund as bottom-line insurance, giving you confidence. The benefit of this approach is that a single mistake won’t damage the whole, and the cost of repeated trial and error is reduced.

**Step 2: Follow the Trend, Lie Flat During Consolidation**

Be decisive when the market trend is clear; during sideways or choppy periods, stay honest and do nothing. Don’t act without a clear signal—wait until a signal appears before moving. This isn’t a waste of time but a way to avoid being repeatedly swept out. When profits reach your target, take them promptly—don’t always wait for the last bit of profit, as that often signals the start of losses.

**Step 3: Rules Over Emotions**

Set stop-loss levels in advance and strictly adhere to them—no negotiations. Take profits in stages rather than all at once; never add to losing positions—this is the most critical rule. Many people get into trouble by averaging down, turning small losses into big ones, and ultimately regret it.

In the end, losing money isn’t because of having less capital, but because people always hope to turn things around in one shot. Steady growth comes from consistently avoiding mistakes and gradually accumulating. Speed isn’t important; the right direction makes the path clear.

Having navigated the waves of the crypto world before, I finally feel like I’ve found a steady helm. This path is working, and I’m also helping others find theirs. The method is right here—whether you’re willing to try is up to you.
