For those with less capital, don't rush to place orders. The crypto world is not a casino, nor is it a place to rely on luck. The smaller the funds, the more you need to play with strategy.



I once mentored a beginner who started with 800U. At first, he was so nervous when placing orders that his hands trembled, fearing he would lose everything in one go. Later, I instilled in him the most important principle: don't trade based on feelings, trade based on rules. The result? After four months, his account exceeded 19,000U; after half a year, it reached 28,000U, all without a single liquidation. This is not just luck but firmly supported by three ironclad rules.

**First Ironclad Rule: Diversify and leave yourself a backup.**

Split the 800U into three parts. 300U for day trading, focusing only on mainstream coins like BTC and ETH, taking profits of 2%-4% quickly; 250U for swing trading, waiting for clear technical signals before acting, usually holding for 2 to 4 days; the remaining 250U frozen as a last resort, avoiding trading even in extreme market conditions. Some like to go all-in; when their account rises, they get cocky; when it falls, they panic, and ultimately, they get caught in volatility.

**Second Ironclad Rule: Follow the trend, wait during sideways markets.**

Most of the market time is spent sideways. If no signals appear, sit tight and wait patiently. When opportunities arise, get in. When profits exceed 12%, take out half—this is called locking in gains. True success comes from this discipline. The rhythm of experts is simple: do nothing if there's no signal; if there is, hit the mark.

**Third Ironclad Rule: Rules are your lifeline; control your hands.**

Set stop-loss at 1.2%, and exit immediately if hit; take profits of over 2.5% and start reducing positions to let profits run; never add to losing positions, and never let emotions dictate trades. The essence of trading is not always being right but always following your rules.

Having less capital is not a problem; the biggest risk is always thinking "one trade to turn my life around." The reason the 800U account grew to 28,000U is not luck but the result of rules, patience, and discipline.

Once, someone was fumbling in the dark; now, there is a light. The light will stay on—so the question is, will you follow it?

That's right, small funds must follow discipline; going all-in will eventually lead to getting out.

800 to 28,000, honestly it sounds a bit uncertain, but this position-splitting strategy is indeed reliable and much smarter than my previous all-in gamble.

Listening to 8,000 to 28,000 sounds great, but how many can really stick to a 1.2% stop loss? I think most people start to fantasize when their accounts grow, and start to overbuy when they fall.

That's correct, rules must be followed, but I've seen too many people forget after just reading them.

ngl, the algorithmic precision here mirrors generative art principles—rules as the immutable substrate, execution as the aesthetic output. fascinating.

This set of rules sounds strict, but I'm just worried I might not be able to actually follow through.

The idea of position splitting is correct; I'm just worried that most people simply can't implement this approach and are only thinking about eating the whole thing in one bite.

800 to 28,000, sounds good, but how many people can truly stick to this set of rules...

That was quite harsh, but this allocation logic really hits the mark, especially the bottom line of "no additional purchase." How many people have been wiped out at this point?
