Starting with a small capital in the crypto world, the biggest fear isn't making no money, but getting wiped out before you even profit. I've seen too many people, holding just a little, go all-in and full position, only to be wiped out by a single pullback. This isn't a game of making money; it's a long-term battle where only those who survive can laugh last.



I once mentored a beginner who started with 800U, and in two months, it grew to 38,000U. Now it's over 50,000U, and he never once blew up his account. Some say it's luck, but I tell you—this isn't luck, these are three ironclad trading rules that can be followed. The same methodology that allowed me to grow 5,000U to now without constantly watching the charts is based on these principles.

**First Trick: Position Sizing, Going All-In Is a Dead End**

Divide your capital into three parts, each with its own purpose—

Small position for intraday trading, using 300U to focus on short-term BTC/ETH trades, taking 3 to 5 points profit and exiting immediately. Don't try to catch the entire move—that's the way of greed. Medium position for swing trading, using 300U to quietly wait for opportunities; once you act, hold for 3 to 5 days, not chasing highs, only trading big moves. The reserve fund, 400U, stays untouched, reserved for a big dip to turn the tide.

Many go all-in, swelling like a big shot when prices rise, then crying like a kid when they fall. But there's only one truth—survival is more important than anything else. Money in the account is real.

**Second Trick: Chase Only Big Opportunities, Avoid Frequent Trades**

Most of the crypto market time is spent in hibernation. If you trade frequently, you're just indirectly paying fees to the exchange. Instead of stressing over vague market signals, better to binge-watch shows or play games, waiting for real opportunities.

When an opportunity appears, go all-in, but don't be greedy. When your floating profit reaches 15% of your principal, cash out half into your wallet—this is real gold. Numbers in your account look good, but real profit is in your wallet.

**Third Trick: Discipline in Trading, Leave Emotions Behind**

Set a stop-loss at 1.5%, and cut it when hit—no mercy; if profit exceeds 3%, halve your position and let the rest run; most importantly—don't add to a losing position. Doubling down on losses only makes things worse—that's the biggest trap in trading.

Small capital isn't a disadvantage; it's an advantage. Because with small funds, flexibility is strongest. Once execution is in place, doubling your money is just around the corner. Growing from 800U to 50,000U isn't something only the chosen can do. As long as you don't be greedy, don't panic, and stick to your rules, step by step, you'll keep climbing.

Honestly, the set of position splitting can indeed last longer, but execution is the most difficult part, most people simply can't do it. Going all-in really leads to the fastest death; I've seen too many people blow up their accounts in one shot, and the money is gone just like that. A 1.5% stop loss sounds simple, but when emotions run high, no one can bear it. Turning 800U into 50,000U is indeed ruthless, but how many times of restraint and patience does that require? I think the most painful rule is not adding to positions; the more it drops, the more you want to buy more—that's human nature. You have to go against your nature to survive. Having a good account balance doesn't mean anything; it has to be converted into real cash to count. Small funds are highly flexible, that's true, but it also means one mistake can wipe out everything. When a frog squats, it really tests human nature; is there anyone who can truly refrain from operating?

The split-position system sounds good, but how many people actually implement it? Most of them still go all-in when they get greedy.

Living is winning; the numbers in the account are the real deal. This really hit me in the heart.

Using sub-accounts is really the only way out; those who go all-in have long since given up. The result of going all-in is just being harvested by capital, there's nothing more to say. The story of going from 800U to 50,000 is simply about surviving long enough. Those who soften their hearts to top up their positions haven't had a good ending, I agree with that. Frequent trading is like giving money to the exchange for free, it's so true. A 1.5% stop loss sounds small, but those who survive will laugh last. The numbers in your account are all virtual; only withdrawals count as real money. Not greedy and not panicking—these six words are easy to say but hard to do. I need to think about this move of using reserve funds; it feels like there's a lot of potential. Small funds are actually more flexible; I hadn't thought of that, it makes sense. Most of the time, the crypto market is just like a frog squatting, haha, that analogy is perfect. It sounds like advice from an experienced trader, but execution is the most important.

That's right, the split-position strategy is indeed the key to survival; those who go all-in have long been out of the game. --- Rolling from 800U to 50,000U sounds great, but it requires the right mindset; most people simply can't hold on. --- The 1.5% stop-loss really hit me; I used to be soft-hearted and didn't cut, resulting in bigger losses the more I added. --- "Being alive is more important than anything"—this is a brilliant statement. Too many people in the crypto world forget this basic logic. --- I get the move of never moving the bottom card funds; it's about saving bullets for a crash. --- Frequent trading just gives away fees; too many haven't realized this yet. --- Taking half of the profits when floating gains reach 15% and moving it to the wallet—that's the practical approach; account numbers can be deceiving. --- I agree that small funds can be an advantage; flexibility provides opportunities for quick trial and error. --- The real challenge isn't the strategy itself but whether you can endure the psychological torment of consecutive losses. --- The halving strategy is excellent; since there's profit, lock in some, and let the rest run as it may.

All-in players have gone to feed the fish; splitting positions is the way to survive.
