The easiest trap for crypto beginners is holding a small amount of money and trying to make a big turnaround. I've seen too many people throw in three or five thousand USD, and after a few months of trading, their accounts are only half of what they started with. The unfortunate part isn't just misjudging the direction, but the chaos in operation rhythm—rushing to cash out after a small rise, stubbornly holding through a slight dip, and changing coins more often than changing clothes.

Want to survive with a small capital? Instead of thinking about some strange tricks, it's better to master these few hard rules:

**Focusing on two or three coins is enough**. Don't get dazzled and jump around everywhere. Know the trend of the coins you choose thoroughly; this is much more reliable than constantly switching targets.

**Keep your position below 30%**. Having less money actually means you should be more cautious, not an excuse to hold a heavy position. Keep some cash in your account so you have the courage to add to your position when it dips.

**Set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance**. Before entering, plan your entry and exit points. Execute them when the time comes; don’t rely on gut feelings or guesswork.

**Don’t believe in insider tips or stories of overnight riches**. Those are just fairy tales. Real stable gains come from a verified trading system you trust.

I used to try all kinds of complicated strategies, but later I found that simple execution yields the most astonishing results. For example, that XMR trade—entered at 557, exited at 631—was all within my understanding of the market. It was a standard entry on a breakout retest in technical analysis, then gradually reduced position at divergence points. Clean and decisive operations, and my sleep quality improved as well.

The secret to turning around a small account isn’t just about doubling once, but about multiple compound gains. Doing one or two trades a week is fine, as long as each one is executed strictly according to plan. Over time, this will help your “snowball” grow bigger and bigger.

Tired of the chasing highs and selling lows routine? Why not take a break and carefully review your trading rules? The ones who last the longest in this market are often those who keep repeating the same simple actions correctly.
