Only a few hundred USD? Don't rush to go all in.

I've seen too many people with only 800 bucks trying to get rich quick, only to be wiped out in three days and drop out. Last year, I met a friend whose account balance was 500U when he entered, and he had to ask me how to leverage. Three months later? His account was sitting at 28,000U, never once getting wiped out.

What gives him that confidence?

It's not luck; it's that he truly ingrained discipline into his DNA.

## First thing: Divide your money into three piles

With only 500-800U of principal, don't expect to double it overnight. Divide it proportionally into three parts:

**First pile (30%-40%)** for day trading. Only trade BTC and ETH, exit after a 3%-5% move up or down, and make at most two trades per day. Altcoins? Don't even look.

**Second pile (30%-40%)** for swing trading. Monitor 4-hour K-lines, wait until the trend is clear and volume picks up before entering. Hold for 3 to 5 days, aiming for 15%-20% profit.

**Third pile (20%-30%)** for emergency fund. No matter how crazy the market gets, don't touch it. This is your foundation for a comeback.

## Second thing: Learn to "do nothing"

Eighty percent of the crypto market's time is irritations—sideways moves, fake breakouts, jumping up and down.

Frequent trading just gives platform fees. When there's no clear signal, keeping your hands in your pockets is more profitable than fiddling with your mouse. Take profits at 12%? Lock in half first. For small capital, the key is stability.

## Third thing: Rules are more reliable than feelings

Remember these ironclad rules:

- Stop loss per trade no more than 3% of your principal; exit immediately when hit
- Take half profits at 5%, and set the remaining position's cost basis as support
- Never add to a losing position; don't let emotions steer you

Small capital has the advantage of flexibility. The real danger is holding onto a "one big win to recover" gamble—that's the true dead end.

Stick to the rules, protect your principal, and slowly accumulate profits. Turning 800U into 20,000U isn't a myth. The key is whether you can control your hands and endure the loneliness.

Had enough of blindly stumbling around before?

Now the streetlights are here; it's up to you whether to walk or not.
