#数字资产动态追踪 Last year, I took a newbie with only $2,000 and dared to enter the crypto world. He struggled with tutorials for a long time before placing his first order. His biggest fear was one thing—if he hesitated, his principal would be gone. I gave him a strategy: survive first, then think about making money. The result? His account grew to $6,000 in one month, broke $20,000 in three months, and he never once got liquidated.



This is not luck. It’s about execution.

Small fund players are too prone to a common mistake—treating the exchange like a casino, going all-in with just a few hundred dollars, and ending up wiped out. In fact, the less capital you have, the more you need to understand one principle: turning around doesn’t rely on accurate predictions, but on these three survival rules.

**First: Diversification is always the first line of defense**

Divide your money into three parts. One-third for intraday swings, focusing on mainstream coins with 3%-5% volatility; enter and exit quickly, don’t hold on to trades. One-third for mid-term trades, holding for 3-5 days, only act when signals are clear. The remaining one-third is locked in your wallet—this is your life-saving fund. Those who go all-in during a rally may see crazy gains, but suffer just as badly during a dip. Keeping an escape route is the top priority for small funds to stay alive.

**Second: Follow the trend, don’t trade in choppiness**

70% of the market time is chaotic fluctuation. Opening trades frequently during this period is just working for the platform. Real opportunities appear when the trend is clear. If you don’t see a clear signal, stay in cash and wait. Once profits reach 12%, take half off the table; only then is the remaining position truly profitable. My student’s key move to double his funds was holding steady during two weeks of sideways movement, and when the trend finally emerged, he captured an 18% gain in one go.

**Third: Strict rules are more valuable than predictions**

Set three unbreakable rules: never risk more than 2% of your total capital on a single trade; if triggered, exit immediately—don’t hold onto hope. When profits reach 4%, cut your position in half, letting the rest run to earn more. After a loss, strictly avoid adding to the position—don’t let emotions dictate decisions. You don’t need to be right about the market every time, but every execution must be disciplined—this is the essence of making money: using discipline to tie your impulsive hands.

Small fund players’ goal isn’t to get rich overnight. It’s to survive. The market is always there, but your capital only has one chance. Using discipline for long-term gains is the real way out for small players.

That's right, it's about execution. I used to frequently place orders to work for exchanges, but I later realized that the real money-makers are waiting for the trend.

You're not wrong; discipline is worth more than anything else.

Well said, discipline really is more valuable than predictions. My biggest lesson over the past two years is not sticking to this.

Exactly right, but the biggest issue is that execution capability really stalls most people. What I fear most are those who constantly talk about discipline, and when things fluctuate, they go all in.
