Survival Guide for Trading with Small Funds Account

This guide is a must-read for those who only have a few hundred U in hand. Especially for players with less than 1000 U in capital, don't be in a hurry to open positions.

The cryptocurrency world is actually a long-term battle. The less capital you have, the more conservative your approach must be—like an old hunter: survive first, then think about making money.

Last year when I helped a friend get started, he only had 500U in his account, and his fingers were shaking while clicking the mouse. The first thing I told him was: "Don't think about doubling your money, first learn not to get liquidated." Three months later, his account grew to 18000U. Throughout this period, there were 0 liquidations and 0 margin calls. This wasn't built on luck; it was based on these 3 strict rules:

**Rule 1: Divide the principal into three parts, always leave a way out for yourself**

Focus on short-term trading with 150U, only dabbling in $BTC and $ETH. Exit immediately when there is a 3% fluctuation. Don’t fight against the market; make some quick money and leave. Use the 150U for swing trading, and only enter when there are signals of a breakout or breakdown on the daily chart, holding a position for a maximum of 5 days. Keep the remaining 200U there; don’t touch it even in extreme market conditions. This is your capital to make a comeback.

Those who are fully invested will go to zero with one pin; those who diversify their layout can withstand two pins and still stand.

**Rule Two: Only bite into trending markets, don't follow sideways games**

The market spends 70% of its time bottoming out or consolidating, and frequently making trades is actually working for the exchange. The real profitable signals are as follows: a continuous increase in volume on the 15-minute candlestick chart, along with a golden cross or death cross appearing on the daily MACD. Only when both signals appear simultaneously should one take action.

When profits reach 12%, withdraw half first. Let the remaining position run freely, setting a 3% trailing stop profit. Achieve "if you don't act, you won't; when you do, you must bite the meat," always being half a beat slower, refusing to chase highs.

**Rule Three: Write down your trading discipline and lock your emotions in a cage**

If a single loss is ≥2%, close the position immediately. You can set your computer to automatically shut down the trading software, out of sight, out of mind; when profits reach 4%, close half of the position, and set a 3% trailing stop for the remaining half; never add funds to a losing position, and eliminate the thought in your mind that "waiting for a pullback will bring it back."

Market trends can be misread, but trading discipline must not waver even a millimeter. Only by systematically managing your actions can you survive longer in the crypto space.

Rolling from 500U to 18000U is not a myth, but a simple demonstration of the "less mistakes" principle of compound interest.

Small principal is not scary; what is scary is always thinking about "one big turnaround". Stick these three rules on the side of your screen and recite them every time you feel the urge to trade: leave an exit, follow the trend, and maintain discipline.

Slow and steady wins the race. When the next big market trend comes, I hope everyone can stay steady on the bus rather than being thrown into the ditch. #2025Gate年度账单 #Gate社区圣诞氛围感
