Discipline beats luck; rules are your guiding light.

I've met many new friends entering the market, with account balances around 2000U. Most of them think this amount is insignificant in the crypto world. Actually, this idea is completely wrong—small funds are precisely your strongest weapon.

A year before last, I mentored a student who started with only 1200U, and he was trembling when trading. I told him one thing: "Stick to the rules, take it slow." Five months later? His account surged to over 32,000U, all without a single liquidation. Was it luck? Not at all. It was pure execution and risk management.

**How to turn small money into a big pattern? The core is the three-part fund allocation.**

Use 500U for day trading—only trade major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and exit immediately after earning three to five percent. Don’t underestimate these small gains; the power of compound interest with small accounts is unimaginable.

Use 400U for swing trading—wait for clear buy or sell opportunities, holding positions for three to five days. This isn’t about chasing highs or panic selling; it’s about genuine patience and waiting for high-probability entry points.

The remaining 300U? Don’t touch it at all. This is your safety net. No matter how exaggerated the market gets, you don’t need to use it. It’s your last line of defense to get back on your feet. Only by staying alive can you make money; this order must not be reversed.

Look at those who go all-in with their entire wealth—what happens to them? They’re like blind people wandering into the mountains, getting carried away when prices rise, and completely wiped out when they fall. That’s not trading; that’s gambling.

1200U in five months up to 32,000, this number sounds so familiar... Why do I feel like stories like this are everywhere in the crypto world? It sounds like risk management is on point, but it seems like not many people can really stick with it. As for compound interest with small accounts, the premise is that you have to be alive, right? Otherwise, all the rules are meaningless. I agree with the 300U safety net; I've seen too many people go all-in and get wiped out in one shot, which is really tragic. The problem is most people can't wait three to five days; their hands are too itchy.

I've heard the story of turning 1200U into 32,000 a hundred times, but the key question is, how many people can really stick to the discipline?

1200U in five months surged to 32,000, and this story got me fired up, but I want to know if the source of that 1200U is also someone's 32,000 blood and tears account. The three-part division of funds makes sense, but I bet 5 dollars that most people, after getting the 300U escape rope, will lose it within two months because they simply can't hold out until that day.

This three-part approach sounds good, but it really tests human nature. Most people simply can't stick to that $300 bottom line.

1200U five months to reach 3.2w, this number sounds like I’m earning even faster haha 2. The three-part fund allocation method is correct, but I’m just worried that 99% of people simply can’t execute it 3. That "escape rope" analogy is perfect; staying alive is truly the prerequisite 4. I believe in the power of compound interest for small amounts, but discipline is key... this is the hardest part 5. I really want to know how those who went all-in are doing now 6. It sounds right, but in reality, how many can hold onto 300U without moving? 7. Don’t underestimate the few points of profit; sticking to it truly makes a difference 8. I get this logic, but executing it is a bit frustrating 9. When your hands are trembling, still sticking to the rules—that’s real skill 10. I need to try this wave trading strategy; it’s definitely better than just buying randomly
