Can small funds turn around in the crypto market? Some people start with 1800U, and in less than a month, their account reaches 43,000U. It sounds exaggerated, but the operating logic is actually very simple—no crazy 100x contracts, no gambling mentality of chasing highs and killing lows, just following three basic rules step by step.



**First Trick: Diversification is Insurance for Survival**

Divide 1800U into three parts:

800U for intraday short-term trading, take profits at 3% and then stop;

500U for trend swing trading, only enter when the opportunity is clear (act only when the probability is high enough);

500U stay bottomed out and unmoved, reserved as the final capital for a turnaround.

This is not cowardice, quite the opposite. Diversification allows you to have room to maneuver even if one direction goes wrong. Those who go all-in either make big profits or are completely out. In the crypto world, survival is more important than winning.

**Second Trick: Wait for the Wind, Don’t Create It**

Most of the time, the crypto market is consolidating and oscillating. During this period, frequent trading is the biggest taboo. Wait patiently until the trend breaks out and becomes clear before entering. Once the direction is confirmed, follow the main upward wave. When profits reach 25%, take some off the table to secure gains, and let the rest continue with the trend. This way, you capture profits without greed causing you to lose everything.

**Third Trick: Rules Are More Important Than Skills**

No matter how fancy the technical analysis, execution is more important. Set three unbreakable rules:

A single loss of 2% triggers an immediate stop-loss, no bargaining;

Take half profits at 5%, and set the remaining position with a breakeven stop-loss;

Never add to a losing position.

It sounds simple, but few can always stick to these disciplines. Emotions, luck, greed—these are the real killers of trading accounts. In front of rules, everyone is equal. If you follow them, they will help you survive longer.

So, the secret to turning around a small account ultimately isn’t about being more aggressive, but about being more steady. Diversify to reduce risk, follow the trend instead of guessing the market, and use discipline instead of emotions to make decisions. Turning 1800U into 43,000U is just this logic repeatedly proving itself. If your account wants to break out of the dilemma, start with these three rules.

That's right, it's a discipline issue. Most people fail at the point of greed.

To be honest, this approach of dividing positions is definitely more reliable than going all in. I used to be completely convinced by the all-in mentality.

It sounds good, but I haven't seen many people who can truly stick to discipline.

Honestly, I've heard of the split position strategy before, but the key is still to be ruthless. --- Can you really limit the loss to 2%? I haven't seen it done. --- It looks simple, but in practice, it's torture. When I can't hold on anymore, I just want to go all in. --- From 1800 to 43,000, following this logic perfectly is quite a challenge, the probability is a bit uncertain. --- Rules are more important than skills. It sounds nice, but it's really a test of human nature. --- Listening to others' advice on split positions is fine, but the real trap is when to enter the market. --- Following the trend is easy, waiting for the trend is hard, most people just can't sit still. --- Take half profit at 5%? Greedy people would have already gone all in.
