Trading Survival Guide for Small Funds Account

This guide is a must-read for those who only have a few hundred U in hand. Especially for players with less than 1000 U in capital, don't rush to open a position.
The cryptocurrency world is actually a long-term battle. The less capital you have, the more conservative your approach should be - like an old hunter: survive first, then think about making money.
Last year, when I helped my friend enter the market, he only had 500U in his account, and his fingers were trembling while clicking the mouse. The first thing I told him was: "Don't think about doubling your money, first learn not to get liquidated." Three months later, his account grew to 18000U. Throughout this period, there were 0 liquidations and 0 margin calls. This wasn't built on luck; it was based on these three strict rules:
**Rule 1: Divide the principal into three parts, always leave a way out for yourself**
Focus on short-term trading with 150U, only involving $BTC and $ETH, and exit immediately when volatility reaches 3%. Don't compete against the market; make a quick profit and leave; use the 150U for swing trading, and re-enter only when there is a signal of a breakout or breakdown on the daily chart, holding a position for a maximum of 5 days; keep the remaining 200U as it is, and don’t move it even when extreme market conditions arise. This is your capital for a comeback.
Those who go all in can be wiped out by a single needle; those who diversify their layout can withstand two needles and still stand.
**Rule Two: Only bite the trend market, don't follow the sideways game**
The market spends 70% of the time consolidating or oscillating, and frequently making moves is essentially working for the exchange. The real signals for making profits are as follows: a continuous increase in volume on the 15-minute K-line while the daily MACD shows a golden cross or a death cross. Only when both signals appear simultaneously should you take action.
When the profit reaches 12%, withdraw half first. Let the remaining position run freely, setting a 3% trailing take profit. Achieve the principle of "if you don't act, it's fine; once you act, you must seize the meat," always lagging a bit, refusing to chase highs.
**Rule Three: Write down your trading discipline and lock your emotions in a cage**
If a single loss is ≥2%, close the position immediately. You can set the computer to automatically close the trading software; out of sight, out of mind; when profits reach 4%, close half of the position and set a 3% trailing stop for the remaining; never add funds to a losing position, eliminate the thought in your mind that "it will bounce back when it pulls back."
Market trends can be misinterpreted, but trading discipline must not be loosened by even a millimeter. Systematic management of your hands is the only way to survive longer in the crypto world.
Rolling from 500U to 18000U is not a myth, but a manifestation of the simple principle of "making fewer mistakes" through compound interest.
Small capital is not scary; what is scary is always thinking about the idea of "a big comeback." Stick these three rules on the edge of your screen and recite them every time you feel the urge to trade: leave a way out, follow the trend, and maintain discipline.
Slow and steady wins the race. When the next big market trend comes, I hope everyone can stay securely on the bus, rather than being thrown into the ditch.
