From 1500U to 35,000U: A survival guide for the crypto world with a principal of less than 3000U, avoiding the fate of suckers.

Stop being anxious about others' doubled profits! For newcomers in the crypto world with less than 3000U in capital, blindly entering the market is not a gamble, but giving away points— the crypto world is not a casino where luck decides the outcome, but a battlefield that emphasizes discipline and strategy. The less capital you have, the more you need to engrave the word "stability" into your bones, and remain calm like an old hunter to avoid the outcome of losing everything and leaving the market.

Last year, I met a friend who jumped in with 1500U, double-checking parameters even before opening a position, fearing that a single mistake could wipe him out. I didn't let him chase trends or trade short-term; I only taught him a set of "survival and profit" rules. Unexpectedly, four months later, his account surpassed 19,000U, and within six months, it shot up to 35,000U, without a single liquidation throughout.

This is definitely not dependent on market favor, but rather supported by three iron rules, especially suitable for players with a small capital:

First, the allocation of positions determines life and death, and the trump cards cannot be lost.

Split 1500U into three equal parts, each with a clear purpose:

• 500U focuses on day trading, only monitoring the two mainstream coins, Bitcoin and Ethereum. We don't seek to be greedy or fast; as long as the volatility reaches 2%-4%, we decisively take profits. What we have in hand is the real profit.

• Use 500U for swing trading, do not chase unclear market trends, wait for clear trend signals from K-lines before taking action, hold positions for 2-4 days steadily, and do not waste time on fluctuating markets.

• The last 500U is the "lifeline card"; even when faced with extreme market conditions or tempting opportunities, it should never be touched—this is the last confidence for those with little principal. Those who go all-in may seem aggressive, but in reality, they panic when prices rise and fall, and they cannot go far.

Second, only follow the trend, do not follow the fluctuations.

There is a truth in the crypto world: the market spends 80% of the time in sideways fluctuations, and frequently entering and exiting not only fails to make money but also gradually erodes the principal due to transaction fees.

The truly prudent approach is: stay still when there is no signal, patiently waiting like a hunter guarding its prey; once a clear trend signal appears, decisively enter the market, and when profits reach 12%, withdraw half first – securing profits is the best way to counter risks. Experts do not make money through frequent operations, but rather by "doing nothing when there is no signal, and when they act, they must profit."

Third, rules govern actions, don’t let emotions get the better of you.

The most frightening thing in trading is not misjudging the market, but being swayed by emotions in your operations. You must set three strict rules for yourself:

• The stop loss for a single transaction should never exceed 1.2%. Exit immediately when the target is hit; do not hold on to the fantasy of "maybe it will rise if I wait a little longer."

• When profits exceed 2.5%, first reduce half of the position, allowing the remaining position to earn what it should, and also providing a way out for the profit.

• Once you incur a loss, absolutely do not average down. Averaging down may seem like it is lowering the cost, but in reality, it is "leveraging" a wrong decision, which will only trap you deeper.

You don't have to check the market conditions every time, but you must adhere to the rules every time - the discipline of the system is what can control the hands that want to operate chaotically.

In fact, having a small principal is not scary; what is scary is the mentality of wanting to "turn the tables" in one go. Turning 1500U into 35,000U relies not on luck, but on solid rules, enough patience, and strict discipline.

Many people in the crypto world are trapped in a cycle of "making small profits and losing big money". It's not that they don't work hard, but rather that they haven't found the right direction or missed the right timing. The market is always there, and real opportunities never wait for anyone. Only by finding the right methods and following the right logic can one transform from "suckers being cut" into "steady hunters."
