In the crypto world over these years, I've seen too many newbies with just a little money go all-in, dreaming of flipping overnight, only to be washed out after a few fluctuations. Honestly, this market has never lacked gamblers; what it needs are people who understand refined operations. Having a small amount of capital is not necessarily a disadvantage; the key is whether you take it seriously.

The following three strategies are the core ideas I used to grow from 1200U to 38,000U, all proven through practical experience.

**Funds must be divided into three parts, each occupying 1/3**

Many people go all-in right away, only to have their confidence shattered by a single pullback. My approach is to split the principal into three parts, letting each handle its own task.

The first part is for intraday trading—let's take 400U as an example. Focus on one trade per day, aiming to make 5% profit and cut losses at 2%. It sounds like modest gains, but the key is to develop discipline and a feel for the market—don't be greedy.

The second part is for swing trading—another 400U. This portion is reserved for clear trend opportunities, such as Bitcoin breaking through key resistance levels or bouncing off support. It might take ten days or more to get in, but once you do, you aim for a big payoff.

The third part is for survival—another 400U. Never move this fund unless two conditions are met: one, the market crashes to a historical bottom offering a good buy-in; two, the first two accounts have lost everything and need a turnaround.

The benefit of this allocation is: only by surviving can you have the qualification to make money. Diversification may seem conservative, but it actually leaves room for mistakes.

**Don’t chase, just eat the fattest part of the fish**

Most of the time in crypto, the market is sideways. If you keep trading, you're just paying fees to the exchange. So the strategy is simple—if there’s no clear trend, stay flat. Better to miss opportunities than to make mistakes. The saved principal is more valuable than the profits you might earn by active trading.

Only when the trend becomes clear should you take action. For example, after Bitcoin's weekly chart stabilizes above 60,000U, then consider deploying. Or wait until other mainstream coins form clear support levels before entering. Trying to buy the bottom or chase the top often traps you; the safest way is to follow the established trend.
