Many people enter the crypto world with the idea of getting rich overnight, but the result is often quick losses. If your starting capital is less than 2000U, instead of dreaming, it's better to learn how to survive first.

I have a friend who started trading in 2020 with 1500U. He stuck to a simple and straightforward method, and in four months, he made 32,000. Now his account has exceeded 100,000. He only spends 5 minutes a day watching the market, and his efficiency is astonishing. Later, I realized that his success wasn't due to technical skills but discipline.

Divide the 1500U into three parts, each with 500U, to serve different roles. The first part is for intraday short-term trading, with at most one trade per day; greed is a big taboo. The second part is dedicated to swing trading; sometimes it doesn't move for ten days or half a month, just waiting for a big trend. The third part is always reserved—this is emergency money, used to turn things around when the account can't withstand losses.

When the market enters sideways consolidation, go completely flat—better to miss opportunities than to hold on stubbornly. Market opportunities are always there, but your principal is just this one pot; once lost, it's gone.

Regarding risk control, this is truly non-negotiable. If you lose 2% of your principal, you must cut losses—no luck-based thinking. When you gain 4%, reduce your position by half and lock in profits; don't be greedy. When your account profit exceeds 20% of your principal, withdraw 30% directly; the remaining funds are for safe trading. Most importantly: never add to a losing position. Accept losses—it's much smarter than risking a margin call or total wipeout.

Small capital relies never on luck or speed, but on making sure each decision allows you to survive until the next one.
