You have less than $1,000 in capital? Don't scare yourself before you even start. Cryptocurrency does carry significant risk, but that doesn't mean small capital has no opportunities—it just means you need to be more methodical.
I once knew a trader who started with $800. He was terrified, afraid that one wrong move would wipe him out. I taught him a system—follow the rules and even small capital can multiply. A month later his account was at $12,000, and three months later it hit $500,000. He never blew up his account throughout the entire process.
Some say that's luck, but I know better. Luck is just the surface. What really works are these three hard rules below.
**Rule One: Divide your capital into three parts, never go all-in**
Here's how to split $800: - $300 for short-term trading, only mainstream coins, take profits at 3-5% and exit - $300 for swing trading, hold for a few days, aim for steady growth - The remaining $200 stays untouched—this is your lifeline
I've seen too many people put their entire net worth on one bet. When they win, they get cocky; when they lose, their psychology breaks. Everyone who survives understands the importance of leaving themselves an exit route.
**Rule Two: Only trade when there's a clear trend, sleep when the market is ranging**
Most of the time the market just oscillates. Trading during this noise is just handing money to the exchange. Without a clear opportunity, be patient and wait. When opportunity comes, strike decisively.
One important detail: once your profit reaches 12%, withdraw half immediately and pocket it. Only realized profits count.
The person I mentored succeeded because he had patience—no chasing, no greed. He knew when to wait and when to act, and when to exit.
**Rule Three: Let discipline replace emotion**
- Single trade losses cannot exceed 2% of capital; cut losses at your stop level, don't gamble - Once profit hits 4%, immediately close half the position and let the rest run - Never add to losing positions. Don't think averaging down will turn things around—that's usually a trap
You won't win every trade, but you can make every decision correctly. The secret to making money is simple: use discipline to control your restless heart.
The biggest enemy of small capital is the desire to get rich quick. Going from $800 to $800,000 is never about luck, but about rules plus patience.
The crypto road is long. It's easy to go astray walking alone. Following someone who knows the way and using the right methods—that's how you walk it steadily. The direction is pointed out; now it's up to you to follow.
