Many beginners think that only having 2000-3000U in their pocket disqualifies them from making a mark in the crypto world. In fact, this idea is completely wrong. The most successful traders I’ve seen initially didn’t have a lot of capital. The key isn’t whether you have enough money, but how you utilize that money.

Last year, I met an older brother who officially started trading in early 2024 with 1500U. For the first two months, he was watching the market every day, with a tense expression—afraid that a wrong judgment would wipe out his capital. But after four months, his account had grown to 19,000U. Six months later, that amount had doubled to over 35,000U. The most impressive part is that he never experienced a margin call from start to finish. What does this indicate? It shows that methodology is the ultimate weapon.

**Three-Part Method: Distribute Eggs into Three Baskets**

His 1500U was divided into three equal parts, each 500U, which is the core of his entire strategy. The first part is dedicated to intraday fluctuations, focusing only on mainstream coins with good liquidity. As soon as the price swings reach 2%-4%, he immediately clears his position—absolutely avoiding lingering in the market. The second part is for swing trading, waiting for K-line patterns to confirm and trends to truly flatten before acting. Each position is usually held for 2-4 days, with much higher stability than day trading. The third part remains untouched, even in catastrophic market crashes. This money acts as a psychological buffer—once it’s used, the trader’s mindset will inevitably collapse.

Look at those beginners who go all-in with just two or three thousand U. When prices rise, they feel overly confident and get carried away; when prices fall, they panic and become frantic. The smaller the capital, the more important the asset allocation, because every penny must be used efficiently.

**Time Management: Mostly Waiting**

The crypto market operates 24 hours a day, but truly trending markets are actually rare. Many people end up with nothing because they trade too frequently during times when they shouldn’t. They should be waiting, but instead they rush in; they should act, but hesitate. The rhythm is completely off. Mature traders spend 80% of their time waiting, and the actual moments of placing orders are few and far between.
