Relying on U to lie flat? Stop dreaming. The crypto world has never been a casino; it's a battleground where the strong prey on the weak. With less capital, you need to be even more ruthless because the opportunity to break even is right in front of you—provided you have a system, discipline, and a bottom line.



I've seen many beginners, trembling when they first enter. One guy came in with 1200U at the beginning of the year, trembling like crazy when placing orders. But three months later, his account skyrocketed to 15,000, and in five months, it reached 32,000—without a single liquidation. How? Luck? No, by strictly following three rules.

**First Trick: Divide your funds into three parts; defense is offense**

Split your money into three portions, each with a purpose. 500U for short-term scalp trading, targeting small fluctuations in BTC and ETH (3%-5% is enough). Enter quickly, exit even faster—take profits and stop. 400U for swing trading, lurking for a few days for fat opportunities—bite and take big profits. The remaining 300U is your emergency fund during extreme market conditions; don’t touch it even if things collapse.

All-in positions are cannon fodder. Keeping money outside the market allows you to smile last during crashes.

**Second Trick: Signals are king; acting decisively is a knockout**

80% of the time in crypto is just junk oscillation—trading daily just gives platform fees. If there’s no clear signal, shut down and sleep—don’t invite trouble on yourself. But once a signal appears, strike like a fierce tiger—hesitation costs money.

When profits reach 15%, take out half first and lock in gains. Greedy traders are always sacrifices.

**Third Trick: Rules suppress emotions; cold-blooded profit**

Never lose more than 2% on a single trade. Cut losses at the right time—don’t "talk emotions" with your holdings. When profit exceeds 4%, cut it in half to lock in gains, and try for another move with the rest. Most importantly—never add to losing positions. "Averaging down" sounds rational but is actually an invitation to the abyss.

You don’t need to predict every market move correctly, but you must always execute the right action. A trading system controls your hands, so you can go from being a victim of being chopped to a hunter chopping others.

Having less capital is not shameful; what’s shameful is the gambling mentality of “wanting to flip everything around in one shot.” From 1200U to 32,000U, the winners are always discipline, patience, and rules—not luck, nor dreams.
