Traders with less than 5000U in capital, don't rush to go all-in yet. Let me share a real case study.

Crypto trading requires strategy; it’s not just luck and gambling.

I once guided a beginner whose account had only 800U. At the start, every trade was cautious, afraid that one mistake would wipe out the principal. I told him a core principle: "Trade according to rules, and you can gradually accumulate wealth."

After four months, his account surpassed 19,000U.

In half a year, the account reached 28,000U, and he never experienced a margin call during the entire process.

Someone asked if this was luck? Not at all. The key lies in strict discipline and risk management.

These three ironclad trading rules helped him achieve account growth:

**First: Divide your funds into three parts and always keep a backup**

Split your principal into three parts: 300U for day trading, focusing only on Bitcoin and Ethereum, taking profits when volatility reaches 2%-4%; 250U for swing trading, waiting for clear signals before entering, with holding periods usually 2-4 days; and the last 250U as a reserve that never gets touched, keeping a fallback in extreme market conditions.

Look at those who put all their capital in at once? When the market rises, they get overconfident; when it falls, they panic. In the end, they often don’t go far. True winners know to keep some funds outside the market—this is their confidence to survive.

**Second: Follow the trend, don’t waste energy in choppy markets**

Most of the time, the market consolidates. Frequent trading means paying more fees to the platform.

Stay calm and hold when there are no clear signals. When buy or sell signals appear, act decisively.

When the account profits reach 12%, withdraw half to lock in gains. When this beginner’s account doubled, I saw him steadily earning without rushing to chase the high, maintaining a calm mindset. The trading rhythm of a master is: "Do nothing if possible; act precisely when necessary."

**Third: Rules above all, manage emotions**

Set a single trade stop-loss at 1.2%; if hit, cut losses decisively. When profits exceed 2.5%, reduce half of the position to follow the trend. Never add to a losing position; don’t let emotions dictate your decisions.

You don’t have to predict every market move perfectly, but you must always stick to your trading discipline. The essence of making money is using systems to restrain impulsive actions.

The growth from 800U to 28,000U is essentially a combination of rules, patience, and discipline. Having less capital is not a disadvantage; what’s dangerous is always thinking you can flip the market in one shot.

I once struggled in the dark, but now I’ve found my direction. The light is on—are you ready to follow?
