Common Mistakes in Small Amount Entry

Many beginners go all-in with just a few hundred U, only to lose everything in one shot. In fact, small capital requires more strategic planning. Some traders start with 800U, stick to their rules, and within two months grow their account to 18,000U. Now their account is around 40,000U. The key is not how much capital you have, but how you play.

The Role of Three Funds

Divide your funds into three parts, each with different tasks. The first part, 300U, is for intraday short-term trades, aiming for small profits of 3-5% and then exiting immediately; the second part, 300U, is for swing trading, capturing 3-5 day cycles, focusing on stability; the remaining 400U is the core position, the final lifeline, which remains untouched regardless of circumstances. The less capital you have, the more you should avoid putting everything in one direction. Diversifying risk is the survival rule for small accounts.

Waiting Instead of Actively Chasing

Most of the crypto market time is spent frustrating traders. Instead of blindly chasing, it’s better to let your bullets fly for a while. True opportunities often appear during specific moments—such as BTC stabilizing at a key level or ETH breaking previous highs—only then should you act. Take profits of 10-15% and cut half to lock in gains, rather than waiting for a big rally to eat up all your profits. Market experts know when to act and when to pretend to be dead.

Discipline Over Feelings

Set your stop-loss at 1.5%. When reached, cut immediately without hesitation; consider reducing half of your position when profits reach 3%; never add to your position during a decline. It sounds simple, but few can truly do it. Success in trading depends not on precise predictions but on strictly following your own rules. Emotions and intuition are often the roots of losses.
