#BinanceABCs Stop using your hard-earned money to pay tuition for the market!



$DEEP With just a few hundred dollars, surviving is already winning.

The crypto world has never been about betting big; it's about who can last longer. When funds are limited, you must learn restraint—first protect your principal, then think about making money.

Last year, I had a friend with only 900U in his account. His hands trembled every time he pressed the order button, all he thought about was "quickly doubling." I immediately poured cold water on him: "Don’t mess around blindly, first learn not to get liquidated, making money can wait."

What was the result? He held on for three months until reaching 37,000U, with zero liquidations and zero margin top-ups during the entire process. This isn’t luck; it’s the power of discipline.

**Rule 1: Divide your funds into three parts, leave yourself a backup**

Use 300U for short-term trading, focus only on BTC and ETH, and exit decisively if volatility hits 3%, don’t be greedy;

Use 300U for swing trading, enter only after daily candles break out or fall through with volume, hold no more than 5 days;

Use 300U as emergency funds, avoid participating in major market moves, this is the seed for a comeback.

Why divide it this way? Because those who go all-in can lose everything with just one wrong move. Those who keep some capital can withstand even the most volatile markets.

**Rule 2: Follow the trend, don’t chase sideways**

80% of the market time is spent in sideways consolidation. Frequent trading is just working for the exchange. My approach is this—wait for a 15-minute candle with volume and a daily MACD golden/death cross; only act when both signals appear simultaneously.

Once profits reach 12%, take out half to lock in gains, let the rest run freely, following the logic of "don’t move unless necessary, and when you do, go all in."

**Rule 3: Write rules in stone, don’t let emotions control you**

If a single trade loses 2%, close it immediately, and the computer will lock the screen automatically;

When profits reach 4%, close half, and set a trailing stop at 3% for the rest;

Never add to losing positions, completely abandon the idea of "waiting for a pullback."

Markets can be wrong, but rules must not be broken. Rely on systems to control your hands, only then can you survive longer in this market.

From 900U to 37,000U, it’s essentially a compound effect of "making fewer mistakes." Small capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is always hoping for a big swing to turn things around.

Stick these rules next to your screen, read them aloud when you feel itchy—leave a backup, follow the trend, stay disciplined. When the next major bull wave arrives, you’ll want to be riding that train steadily, not left behind choking on tail gas. Want to recover your losses, make huge profits, or double your account? The key is to survive long enough, always stay in the game.

900U has risen to 37,000. To put it simply, it's about not being impulsive with trades. I truly understand this.

actually, the 900u to 37k story is statistically significant but like... empirically speaking, survivorship bias hits different here. the risk-adjusted returns assume zero black swan events, which theoretically is fine until it's not.

It's the same theory again; to put it nicely, it's "winning by just staying alive," but the ones truly making money are never these people, right?

900U to 37,000U sounds great, but this friend has definitely experienced moments of mental breakdown... Rules can really save lives.

Wait a moment, I need to dig into the story of this 900U to 37,000U... The data chain is too perfect, 15-minute K-line combined with MACD, 2% stop loss, 4% take profit. This operational pattern needs to be traced back to the actual transaction records of the exchange. It's obvious that there is a highly regularized trading pattern here.
