Stop blindly throwing money into the market! If your principal is less than 1,000 USDT, and you’re even using credit cards to get in? You’re just setting yourself up to be someone else’s exit liquidity.

The crypto market isn’t a game of luck — it’s about strategy and discipline. When you have a small amount of capital, you need to be even more steady and methodical. Don’t rush. Last year, I brought a friend into the market. He only had 600 USDT in his account. His hands were shaking the first time he placed an order, afraid that an all-in bet would wipe him out.

I told him: “Follow the rules, even small capital can compound.”

So what happened? After one month, his account reached 6,000 USDT.
After three months, he broke through 20,000 USDT—without a single liquidation along the way.

Some people think that’s just luck? Wrong. It’s all about relentless discipline, never missing a step.
Here are the three golden rules that took him from 600 USDT to where he is now:

**Split your funds into three parts — don’t put all your eggs in one basket**

Divide your principal into three equal portions:
The first 200 USDT is for short-term trades. Only touch mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Take profits when the price swings 3%-5%.
The second 200 USDT is for swing trades. Wait for clear signals before entering, hold for three to five days for stable gains.
The last 200 USDT is untouchable, no matter what — this is your backup for a comeback.

Have you seen people go all-in with several thousand USDT? When it goes up, they get cocky. When it drops, they panic, and end up wiped out. Those who survive in the long run always keep a way out for themselves.

**Only trade clear trends — sit out during sideways markets**

The market moves sideways 70% of the time. Frequent trading just means you’re paying fees to the platform for nothing.
If there’s no signal, just wait. When there is, go in big.
When you’ve made 12%, cash out half. Money in your pocket is the only thing that counts.

What’s the rhythm of a pro? They can hold back when nothing’s happening, and strike hard when it's time. When my friend doubled his money, I watched him calmly take profits—never chasing pumps or panicking on dips, always keeping his cool.

**Discipline is everything — controlling yourself matters most**

Each trade’s stop loss is capped at 2% of your principal. If the stop is hit, get out, no hesitation.
If profits exceed 4%, instantly cut your position in half—let the rest run.
When you’re losing, never add to your position. Don’t let your emotions control you.

You don’t need to nail the timing every time, but you must follow the rules every time.
Making money, at its core, is just about having a system that keeps your itchy hands in check.

Maybe you used to fumble around in the dark alone, but now the streetlight is right here, always shining.
