Many beginners start with just a few thousand yuan and rush in recklessly, only to have their accounts wiped out in half a month. When you ask them why they lost money, they say the market was bad. Actually, the real problem is—there's no trading strategy at all.

Last year, I mentored a novice who couldn't even read candlestick charts. He would sell ETH after a 5% gain and buy more after a 3% dip. In a week, he lost $300, and only then did he realize the problem was serious. I developed a position-splitting strategy for him, and the results exceeded expectations.

**How did I split the funds?** I divided 900U into three parts.

The first part, 300U, is for short-term trades, only trading BTC. Take profit after a 2% gain and immediately exit. The second part, 300U, is for swing trading, entering at key support levels, taking profits within three or four days. The third part, 300U, is stored in a cold wallet as the core position, never to be moved.

Initially, he still couldn't resist. When BTC was sideways, he wanted to chase altcoins. I stopped him directly—"Trading recklessly during sideways movement can eat up your profits with fees. Wait for a breakout signal." Sure enough, after three days, BTC surged 8%. He took half of the profit and added to his position, not only breaking even but also doubling his money.

What truly changed him were two ironclad rules. The stop-loss for each trade must not exceed 1%, even if your judgment is correct. Also, once profits exceed 3%, you must cut your position in half—absolutely no greed.

Once, he bought a coin that dropped to a 0.8% loss and stopped out. The next day, that coin plummeted 15%. He laughed and said, "This rule saved me; otherwise, I would have run out of capital long ago."

After a year of persistence, his 900U grew to 28,000U. This isn't luck—it's the result of "stability, discipline, and patience." He summarized it himself: "If I had gone all-in back then, I would have blown up my account long ago."

A small capital can reverse the trend, not by gambling on the market, but by playing a well-prepared game. Opportunities in the crypto world are there every year, but strategy is your most valuable capital. Stick to the rules, and even with small funds, you can achieve great results.
