Friends with less than 2,000 yuan in hand, don't rush to act.



In the crypto world, it all comes down to who can stay steady. The less principal you have, the more careful you need to be, and you should stay calm like a veteran. I once knew a young guy whose account was only 1,200 yuan. At first, he was so nervous he trembled even when placing orders, afraid of losing everything in one trade.

I told him: "Follow the routine, take it step by step, and you can succeed."

A month later, his account grew to 6,000; after three months, it directly reached 20,000, all without a single liquidation. Some say it was luck? Not at all, it’s all about self-discipline and discipline.

I summarized three rules he stuck to, which helped him grow from 1,200 to now:

**First method: Divide your money into three parts, don’t put all eggs in one basket.**
Use the principal in three parts: 600 yuan for short-term trading, focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum fluctuations, taking profits at 3% to 5%; 400 yuan for medium-term swings, only acting on clear opportunities, holding for three to five days; the remaining 200 yuan, don’t touch at all, even in extreme market conditions—this is your trump card.

Look at those who go all-in? They get excited when prices rise, panic when they fall, and don’t go far. Truly profitable traders know to keep some ammunition in reserve.

**Second method: Follow the trend, don’t waste energy in sideways markets.**
The market spends a lot of time consolidating; frequent trading just pays unnecessary fees to the exchange. When there’s no signal, stay put; when an opportunity arises, act decisively. Take 12% profit and exit half—this is real discipline.

Experts follow this rhythm—stay still when needed, and when they move, they do so steadily and collect profits. When his account doubled, I saw his trades were always calm and patient; he never chased the highs.

**Third method: Rules are more important than feelings; don’t let emotions control you.**
Stop-loss is set at 2%; when reached, exit. Take 4% profit and cut your position in half; let the rest run. If you lose, accept it—don’t try to make it back with more trades.

You don’t have to hit the perfect timing every time, but you must stick to your rules every time. Making money is fundamentally about using a system to keep that impulsive mind in check.

Honestly, starting with small capital isn’t a problem; the real danger is always thinking about making a big comeback with one shot. From 1,200 to 20,000, it’s all about rules, patience, and unwavering execution.

If you were blindly fumbling in the dark before, now the light is on. Are you in or not?

I don't believe you, it's another story of multiplying five times in a month.

It sounds reasonable, but how many can truly stick to it? Most people still can't resist the temptation.

That's right, small accounts really need to stay patient. I used to make reckless moves when my account was small, but now I understand that discipline is the key to success.

That's right, the biggest fear for small funds is a mental breakdown. There are really no shortcuts to making money; it all depends on whether you can hold it together. I've also suffered losses from frequent trading, and the fees almost wiped me out. The key is still that set of strategies: position splitting, stop-loss, and not chasing gains. Now my account is much more stable, and although it's not as exciting, my sleep quality has improved.

You're right, I'm just worried that the execution might not keep up, brother.

That's right, but most people can't do it. Mindset is really the hardest part; I've seen too many small accounts with bigger hearts.

That's correct, but I still think most people can't do it, especially the 2% stop-loss line—ordinary people simply can't bring themselves to cut losses.

You're right, but I'm just worried I can't control my hands. I'm the kind of person who frequently trades, and the transaction fees eat up half of the profit, which makes me regret it to death.
