Having traded in the crypto space for several years, my biggest insight is: small amounts of capital are actually easier to succeed with, provided you have a workable methodology. This isn’t some profound knowledge; rather, it’s some of the most basic and easily overlooked "simple methods"—these are the strategies that allow people to steadily make money in a highly volatile market.



**Choose the right coins, don’t be greedy**
With less than 100,000 in capital, the biggest advantage is flexibility. But this very flexibility also makes it easiest to make mistakes. Focus on 2-3 coins you know best; it’s far more profitable than blindly chasing hot trends. Fully understand the price movement characteristics, the manipulator’s tactics, and the fundamental rhythm of these coins—opportunities will naturally surface. Chasing too many only disperses your focus, and in the end, you won’t master any.

**Emotional management is a must**
During rapid surges, it’s easiest to get carried away, which is often a trap carefully set by manipulators. The number of people whose "overnight wealth dreams" are shattered in the crypto world has long surpassed those who actually make money. Similarly, don’t panic during sharp declines—sometimes, real opportunities are hidden in the falling candlestick charts. Once emotions start to fluctuate, your account is not far from exploding.

**Position control is always the first rule**
Going all-in and gambling may sound exciting, but it’s really just leaving your fate to luck. Set a strict rule: invest no more than one-third of your available funds at a time, and keep the remaining two-thirds as "bullets." When a real opportunity arises, you’ll still have room to add to your position. This also keeps your mindset steadier, because you’ll never be caught in a passive situation of "no bullets left."

**Take profit and cut losses—execution is king**
When you make a profit, take your profits and exit—don’t be greedy for that last bit of gain. Likewise, if you’re wrong, admit the loss and cut your position—don’t hope for a rebound to save you. Not being greedy allows you to survive longer; being able to cut losses helps you control risk. These two principles seem simple but are the hardest to execute—most losses happen at this very moment.

**Gradual entry and exit, cut risk in half**
Betting everything at once can either make you a fortune or wipe you out. Building positions and exiting gradually reduces risk from 100% to below 50%. This is common sense in probability theory and a standard practice among professional traders.

**Basic technical analysis is enough**
No need to study complex derivatives indicators. Understanding candlestick trends, identifying support and resistance levels is enough to outperform those blindly copying signals. The essence of trading is to repeatedly earn bounded profits based on these fundamental aspects.

In the end, crypto trading isn’t about who has the biggest guts, but who is more steady and disciplined. This "simple method" works because it’s stable—each step has defenses, with few loopholes. Stick with it, and money will flow to you like a tide.
