Trading is a hundred times more about mindset than luck. What I fear most is seeing newcomers with pitiful capital, dreaming of a big turnaround, only to disappear after a few weeks — money gone, and their spirit crushed.
Last year, I helped a friend start with 800U and now he's approaching 30,000U. Honestly, there’s no luck involved in this process; it’s all hard-earned lessons learned from past mistakes.
**The core principle is three words: Diversified Strategy**
Losing everything on an 800-dollar trade teaches you that you must diversify. So my plan for him was: split the money into three parts, each with a completely different approach.
The first part (300U) is for intraday short-term trading — only trade BTC and ETH, aiming for 3-5% profit per day, then exit. Many think this is too slow, but the key is stability. Imagine yourself as a guerrilla fighter, not seeking to win in one battle but just trying to leave the battlefield alive each time. Once accumulated, you’ll understand the power of compound interest.
The second part (300U) is for waiting for opportunities — such as ETF approvals or policy shifts. As soon as a certain event occurs, go all in. Most of the time, this money stays in cold storage because there’s no need to move it daily. When an opportunity arises, a wave of profit can last for months.
The third part (400U) is never to be touched — this is the psychological bottom line. No matter how crazy the market gets, we don’t touch it, because just knowing it’s there gives peace of mind. The most volatile times are often the easiest to make mistakes, and this reserve acts like a stabilizing anchor.
From 800U to 19,000U and now, it’s not luck — it’s because the rules are simple and have no exceptions. Every step is reviewed, every loss is tuition. The biggest advantage of small capital is low trial-and-error cost, but only if you survive long enough.

The decentralized approach is indeed solid, but too many people can't do it. As soon as the market starts to rise, everyone rushes to buy in.

I understand the three-part method, but to be honest, the hardest part is still the third one. When the market is exploding, can you really stay still?

The three-part method is indeed ruthless, but it's easy to get itchy when executing. Few people can truly stick to that $400 cold wallet.

These three methods are indeed skills, especially the move of never using the 400U, which really acts as a psychological fuse for oneself.

The strategy of three methods is indeed solid, but execution is the hardest part.
I deeply understand the part about the minimum guarantee fund; so many times I've been tempted because I didn't stick to that line.
