When your principal is less than 1500U, forget about the "doubling" dream. The only goal at this stage is one — to survive. Living is more important than how much you earn.



Want to stand firm in the crypto world? These three methods can be used immediately:

**First: Diversify your funds, never all in**

Suppose you have 1200U. Don't put it all in at once; doing so is equivalent to self-destruct. Divide it into three parts: 400U for intraday trading, doing just one or two trades a day, taking profits and exiting; another 400U for swing trading, waiting for clear signals before acting; and the last 400U must not be touched — this is your insurance.

Full position trading in the crypto world is just asking for death. Diversification allows you to always have an exit and participate in the next opportunity.

**Second: Only trade in markets you understand, stay out of others**

Most of the time, the market is chaotic. Frequent operations during this period are just losing money to the big players. If you can't see through or have no strategy, avoid trading and wait. Save your bullets for opportunities with clear trends and truly favorable risk-reward ratios.

**Third: Use rules to lock your hands tightly**

Cut losses at 2% — no negotiation; take half profits at 4% — lock in some gains; when your account grows, withdraw some funds — don’t put everything in; avoid adding to losing positions or holding on stubbornly when losing, and never rely on the excuse "it will bounce back."

The truly smart people in the crypto world are never those who make the most in one trade, but those who control their losses tightly and always stay in the game. Rapid rises often lead to rapid crashes; learning to slow down is actually the beginning of opportunity.

Really, small players shouldn't expect to get rich overnight. Staying alive is the top priority. Full positions are a death sentence; diversification is the way to survive longer. If you don't understand the market trend, just leave it alone. Don't lose money to the manipulators. Stop-loss needs to be strict—cut at 2% immediately, or you'll get deeper and deeper. Those who can hold on without moving are the true experts, not the ones who make the most profit.

Really, going all in in the crypto world is truly a death wish. --- Hedging sounds complicated, but that's the cost of staying alive. --- Market movements I don't understand are just giving away money; that's how I operate now. --- Stop loss at 2%, easy to say but really hard to do. --- You can only make money if you're alive; I've heard this too many times, but every time it's a lesson. --- Where are the people who are fully invested now? Asking, they've already quit the scene. --- Those who can't get past the stop loss are long gone. --- There aren't many smart people in the crypto world; most have a gambler's mentality. --- Doing nothing is also a form of trading; once you understand this, you've already won. --- Slowing down can actually be an opportunity; that's a brilliant saying.

Really, going all in is like gambling your life. I've seen too many people lose everything with a single all-in move. Dividing your positions has definitely saved me several times. You can't be greedy. That hits too close to home. If you don't understand, don't just make random moves. The worst times I lost the most were when I was trading impulsively. Stop-loss really depends on discipline. Otherwise, you'll always think it will bounce back, and that's the end. Being alive is the real victory. What's the point of doubling your money? Small accounts just have to hang in there.

To be honest, small principal amounts should just be honest and live steadily, don't dream of doubling your money. I've seen too many people fully invested, and in the end, they didn't make it.

You're absolutely right, all in is truly a death sentence. I was brainless before, going all in with 1200U, and ended up back to square one. Now I only have an empty shell account left. Wait, I need to rethink the logic of this sub-accounts strategy; it doesn't seem that simple. Really, if you don't understand, just don't touch it. That sentence hit me hard. I used to like to gamble recklessly, but it was all just paying transaction fees to the market makers. A 2% stop loss is acceptable, but the key is overcoming the psychological barrier. Every time I think "just a little more and I’ll break even"... now I realize it's a trap. In the crypto world, just surviving is winning. This phrase must be engraved in my mind, or else I’ll really get hammered down and unable to get up.

Laughing and then crying, I learned this trick of splitting 1200U into three parts—it's about the 2% stop loss, but I always slip up and turn it into 20% each time.
