Crypto circles lack funds? Many people want to turn around with small amounts, but often they are heading in the wrong direction.

I have a method, but you need to be mentally prepared—this approach is stable, but not fast.

Last year, I experimented with a buddy. He started with 1500 USDT and, after four months of persistence, grew it to 45,200 USDT. He never used leverage, never chased 100x contracts, just strictly followed a trading system. Luck had nothing to do with it. The method is simple, just three steps.

**First step: Position splitting is the baseline and a safety net.**

Divide 1500 USDT into three parts. Use 500 for intraday short-term trades—catch the wave and take profits quickly, aiming for 3% gains and then exit; don’t be greedy. Use another 500 to hold in trend positions—if there’s no clear breakout or no more than 15% expected profit, stay put. The remaining 500 should be frozen as emergency funds—no matter how tempting the market is, hold firm. Why do this? Because splitting your position isn’t about being timid; it’s about ensuring you have the capacity to fight back in any market. Going all-in and gambling is often the first step to liquidation.

**Second step: Only ride the main upward waves; rest during consolidation.**

Market movements are mostly aimless—about 70-80% of the time, it’s just noise. The more you trade during these times, the more you lose. Instead of being repeatedly cut, just watch. Once the trend becomes clear and volume starts to support a breakout, then follow in. After entering, take profits at around 25%, then lock in half and set the rest to follow the trend. Place your stop-loss at cost basis, letting profits run freely.

**Third step: Discipline is more valuable than technical skills.**

Keep these three rules in mind: a single loss should not exceed 2% of your capital; when reached, cut your losses immediately—no excuses. When profits reach 5%, close half of your position to lock in gains; set a break-even stop for the rest. Never add to losing positions; diluting your cost basis is the fastest way for beginners to blow up their accounts.

The game for small funds is about stability, not aggression. Stick to the rules, and you can go further.
