#巨鲸动向 A sincere piece of advice for friends with a principal of less than $1,000: please stop first and let me share some experience.

The digital asset market is not a luck-based casino, but a battlefield that requires strategy and discipline. The less funds you have, the more cautious you need to be with every operation. Last year, I guided a beginner who had only $600 in starting capital. When he first started trading, he was so nervous he was trembling, worried that one mistake would wipe out all his funds.

I told him, "As long as you strictly follow the rules, you can gradually achieve asset growth."

As a result, after one month, his account surpassed $6,000; after three months, the account balance reached $20,000, all without experiencing a single liquidation.

This is not luck, but the result of strictly following these three key principles:

1. The three-part fund division to ensure survival space
Divide your funds into three parts: the first for intraday trading, focusing only on mainstream coins, taking profits when fluctuation reaches 3%-5%; the second for medium-term swing trading, entering after clear signals, usually holding for 3-5 days to pursue stable returns; the third as emergency reserve, never to be used lightly regardless of market fluctuation, forming the foundation for recovery.

Investors who go all-in often become arrogant during gains and panicked during declines, making it hard to sustain long-term. Truly successful investors understand the importance of keeping some funds off the market to handle various situations.

2. Follow the trend and avoid sideways periods
Most of the time, the market is consolidating sideways. Frequent trading only increases unnecessary costs. Stay on the sidelines when there are no clear signals, and act decisively when there are.

When profits reach 12%, take out half to secure safety. Skilled traders operate with the rhythm of "don't trade unnecessarily, but when you do, you must gain." Watching his account double, I noticed he remained calm, patient, and avoided impulsive chasing.

3. Rules first, control emotions
Strictly limit single trade losses to within 2%, and exit decisively at the stop-loss point. When profits exceed 4%, reduce half of the position, allowing the remaining to continue growing. Never add to a losing position, and never let emotions dictate decisions.

You don't need to predict market direction perfectly every time, but you must strictly follow your trading rules each time. The key to profit is controlling impulsive trading behavior with a systematic approach.

Remember, small funds are not the problem; the real issue is always trying to get rich overnight through risk-taking. Growing from $600 to $20,000 is not luck, but rules, patience, and self-discipline.

The past may have been like groping in the dark, but now the method is a guiding light. This light is always on—are you willing to follow it?
