Many people ask me how to turn things around from the bottom. To be honest, starting with 3000 yuan, I’ve experienced margin calls and quick gains, but the secret to surviving in the end is actually very simple—defeat emotions with a system, and fight greed with patience.

**First, some cold data**

A 50% monthly compound interest sounds beautiful, but in reality? It takes 14 consecutive months to turn 3,000 yuan into 1 million, with a success rate of less than 0.03%. A sudden crash can wipe out half a year's profit. People in the derivatives circle typically don’t survive more than 27 days, most dying from leverage and high-frequency trading.

So, hundredfold returns are simply unattainable. Small funds need to break through by seizing "structural opportunities"—such as new public chain airdrops or sector rotations with 3-5x potential coins, rather than watching the charts every day for short-term trades.

**Core strategy: from front-line fighter to sniper**

The first principle is very harsh—reject impulsive decisions. Build your own valuation framework and only ambush at key points. For example, only enter in batches when BTC drops to around $35,000 or ETH falls to $1,800, and never chase after hot spots that have already doubled.

I use the "343 Positioning Method": first, invest 30% of your funds to test the waters; if it drops another 10%, add another 40%; once the trend is confirmed, add the remaining 30%. This continuously lowers the average cost, and the profit margin naturally increases during rebounds.

The second key is understanding leverage. It’s a tool, not a gambling device. For capital below 3000 yuan, never use more than a certain leverage per trade—risk factors are inversely proportional to capital, so don’t gamble with small amounts.
