Many people ask, with limited funds on hand, is there still a chance to turn things around in the crypto world? I want to say that indeed there are opportunities, but the premise is that you must use the right methods.

A friend started with 1200U, and after four months, his account reached 25,000U, now stabilized above 38,000U, all without ever hitting liquidation. The key is not luck, but three strictly adhered-to bottom lines.

**First Bottom Line: Never Fully Invest**

Divide 1200U into three equal parts — this is not a random split —

400U dedicated to intraday short-term trading. Only one trade per day, close at the set time, no greed.

400U for swing trading. Take a long-term approach, wait for weekly-level opportunities, patience is more important than speed.

The remaining 400U is for life-saving purposes; no matter what happens to the account, this portion is never touched.

Why divide it this way? Full position means eliminating all room for error correction. Markets are unpredictable; leaving room gives you a chance to survive.

**Second Bottom Line: Trading Rhythm Must Be Correct**

Most of the market time is actually oscillation. These fluctuations look lively but are traps. His approach is straightforward — no trend, no position; better to miss out than to trade recklessly.

Interestingly, as soon as profits reach 20% of the principal, he immediately withdraws 30%. Locking in profits like this is something most people can't do. True big gains don’t come from frequent small trades but from a few obvious opportunities that can be caught.

**Third Bottom Line: Use Discipline to Kill Emotions**

When losses reach 2%, exit immediately; don’t look at rebounds.

When profits hit 4%, halve the position size immediately, and move the stop-loss on remaining orders.

Once you’re in the red, never add to the position. Making bad decisions again just digs the hole deeper.

In the end, trading is not about who is smarter or has more ideas; it’s about who can truly stick to their rules. Most failures happen here — good plans but poor execution.

Small funds aiming for growth should never rely on a big gamble to turn things around. That mindset is itself a casino mentality. The real way to go far is through scientific position sizing and ironclad trading discipline, allowing funds to compound step by step under relatively low risk.

Avoiding detours is the most efficient way to progress.
