#数字资产动态追踪 No kidding — a few hundred bucks in an account, just surviving is already a win.



This is for traders whose accounts are still in the three-figure range.

Before your account reaches $1,000, don’t rush to press the buttons.

The crypto market has never been a place where the bigger you bet, the more you earn. The truth is: those who survive the longest laugh last. The less capital you have, the more you need that seasoned veteran’s composure — don’t think about getting rich overnight, first learn how not to get wiped out.

A friend started with 500U last year. When placing orders, he was trembling, thinking, “Can this trade turn 5 times?” I immediately poured cold water on him: “Stop that. First, learn how not to get liquidated.”

And what happened? After three months, his account grew to 18,000U. The whole process: zero liquidation, zero margin top-up. It’s not luck — just following these three strict rules:

**Rule 1: Divide eggs into three baskets.**

150U for short-term trading — only watch BTC and ETH fluctuations, exit immediately if the price moves 3%, don’t hold the fight.

150U for swing trading — wait for daily candles to show volume breakout or breakdown signals before entering, hold no more than 5 days before exiting.

200U as emergency funds — avoid extreme market conditions, keep it for a turnaround. Those who go all-in get wiped out with a single needle; those who keep some reserves can withstand even the biggest waves.

**Rule 2: Follow the trend, don’t trade sideways.**

Most of the market time is sideways, frequent buying and selling is just working for the platform.

My entry rule is simple: 15-minute candles with continuous volume + daily MACD showing a golden or death cross — only act when both signals are present.

Take half profits at 12%, let the rest run. The core of this approach: do nothing if no signal, but once you act, bite the bullet.

**Rule 3: Write rules in stone, lock away emotions.**

Close a position if loss exceeds 2% — lock the screen; take profit at 4% and close half, set a trailing stop at 3% for the rest; never add to losing positions, delete the “wait for a pullback” idea completely.

Markets can be misjudged, but discipline must never break. Rely on the system to manage your hands, only then can you survive longer.

Growing from 500U to 18,000U is the effect of compound interest from fewer mistakes.

Small funds aren’t scary; what’s scary is always thinking about overnight riches.

Stick these three rules next to your screen, when your hands get shaky, recite: “Maintain the retreat, wait for the trend, lock in discipline.”

When the next big upward wave comes, want to stay safely on the train instead of being left behind? Then small funds must follow the rules even more strictly. Gradually grow your capital — this path is actually more solid.

I used to stumble around in the dark alone, now I hold a light in my hand. The light will keep shining — are you coming along?

It really went from 500U to 18,000U. This guy is truly disciplined... I almost lost my principal earlier while thinking "waiting for a pullback."

The truth is, small accounts are already winners just by staying alive, don't think about going all-in in one shot.

500U to 18000U sounds great, but the real challenge is not to sell it... The key is still that phrase "As long as you're alive, you've already won," it's so touching.

Really, for small accounts, just staying alive is winning. I'm the type to get nervous—when I had 500U, I almost went all in, but luckily I was talked out of it. Now I understand: discipline > luck. This game is all about who survives the longest.

Really, as long as the small account is alive, that's enough. Don't overthink it. Not getting liquidated is the first lesson; everything else is just clouds. This set of principles is spot on, it's just that when executing, I was careless, haha. From 500 to 18,000... built up through discipline, I'm impressed.

500 to 18000, that's really intense. But I still believe that the real difficulty isn't these three rules, but the heart that can stick to them.
