#美联储降息 When you only have a few hundred dollars in U, don't rush to go all-in.

The crypto world isn't a gamble for overnight riches, but an arena that tests how long you can survive. The tighter the funds, the more you need to stay calm. Protecting your principal is the first step; profits come second.

I know a guy who started with an account balance of 500U, trembling as he pressed the open position button—his mind full of thoughts about doubling quickly. I told him directly: "Start with small funds, learn how not to get liquidated first, don’t think too much."

Three months later, his account skyrocketed to 18,000U, with zero liquidations and no additional margin calls during the process. It’s not luck; it’s based on three iron rules:

**Segment your funds to leave yourself room to breathe.**

Use 150U for short-term trades, only watch $BTC/$ETH, and exit if it moves 3% up or down—don’t follow the herd; use another 150U for swing trading, wait for the daily volume to break out or break down before entering, holding at most 5 days; freeze 200U and don’t move it regardless of how fierce the market gets—this is the seed for revival. Someone who goes all-in in one shot will be wiped out with one bad move; those who keep a backup can withstand even the fiercest market.

**Follow the trend, not the oscillation.** The market spends 70% of its time grinding sideways; the more frequently you trade, the more you lose. Only act when a real signal appears—15-minute volume continues to increase + daily MACD shows a golden or death cross, and both are confirmed before entering. When gains reach 12%, take half off first; let the rest run on its own, because "if you don’t act, you won’t lose; if you act, you’ll eat the meat."

**Set rules in stone, lock away emotions.** Close a position immediately if it loses 2%, set your computer to auto-lock; take profit at 4%, close half first, and set a trailing stop at 3% for the rest; never add to losing positions—completely erase the idea of "waiting for a pullback." The market may be wrong, but discipline is non-negotiable; only through rules can you survive longer.

Turning 500U into 18,000U is essentially about "reducing mistakes" and compounding.

Small funds aren’t scary; what’s scary is thinking one reversal will turn everything around. Post your rules on the screen, and when you’re tempted to act impulsively, recite: leave an exit route, pace yourself, and stick to the rules.

When the next market rally comes, if you want to stay safely in the car instead of being thrown out, this is the way. Gradually grow your principal, and it will grow steadily.
