To cryptocurrency investors with less than 1000U in capital: 3 "survival growth iron rules" for a practical path from a few hundred U to 20,000 U.

If your current capital is less than 1000U, it is recommended to pause operations and listen to this underlying logic from practical experience. The encryption market is by no means a gambling arena based on luck, but rather a professional battlefield that tests tactical design and discipline execution— the less capital you have, the more you need to replace "gambling" with "certainty", waiting for signals like a hunter and striking precisely, rather than blindly following the trend.

Last year, I brought a novice with only 600U in capital into the market. When he initially clicked "Place Order," his fingers were trembling, fearing that a single mistake would lead to a total loss. I told him, "There's no need to be anxious. As long as you strictly adhere to the rules, even a small amount of capital can achieve compound growth." In the end, he managed to grow his account to 6000U in one month and steadily broke through 20,000U in three months, all without any liquidation. This result is not about luck; the core support comes from extreme discipline.

The following three "life-saving growth" rules are the key to his breakout from a few hundred U and are applicable to all small capital investors:

First article: The three-point principle of capital, keeping a safety cushion for "making a comeback."

Split the principal into three parts, clarify their purposes, and ensure they are not interchangeable, to fundamentally avoid the risk of full liquidation:

- 200U for intraday trading: Focus solely on the two major cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Take profits immediately when volatility reaches 3%-5%, avoid stubbornly holding positions and chasing highs;

- 200U for swing trading: wait for the trend to clarify before entering the market, holding period of 3-5 days, with "stability" as the core principle, rejecting the pursuit of short-term profits.

- 200U as backup funds: Regardless of how hot the market is, it must not be used - this is the "confidence capital" that allows for a fresh start after account losses.

Common investors in the market often invest all their principal in a full position, being blindly optimistic when making profits and collapsing mentally when incurring losses. Such operations are destined to be unsustainable in the long run. Those who can truly survive and grow in the market will always leave themselves an "off-market retreat."

Article 2: Focus on trend opportunities, reject "ineffective trading" in a volatile market.

The encryption market is in a state of disorderly fluctuation 80% of the time, and frequent operations during this period essentially contribute to the exchange's transaction fees, making it difficult to generate positive returns.
The correct rhythm is "No opportunity means lying low, but when there is an opportunity, be decisive": enter the market precisely when the trend is clear, and when profits reach 12%, immediately withdraw 50% to an offline wallet, turning "paper profits" into "real assets".
A true trading expert is always "immovable like a mountain, but moves like a thunderstorm"—the key to this novice account I managed doubling multiple times lies in capturing the trend and steadily securing profits, without letting short-term fluctuations disrupt the mindset.

Article 3: Rules take precedence over feelings, using the "system" to control the "gambling nature"

The core of trading is not "getting it right every time," but "doing it right every time." It requires clear rules to constrain operations and avoid emotions dictating decisions.

- Stop-loss discipline: The stop-loss for a single trade should never exceed 2% of the principal. When the stop-loss point is reached, the position must be closed without any sense of luck.

- Profit-taking discipline: Reduce half of the position when profits exceed 4%, keeping part of the position to let profits continue, while locking in core earnings;

- Position Discipline: Do not add to positions when incurring losses to prevent "averaging down" and avoid emotional trading that leads to increased risk.

The essence of making money is to let established rules govern the heart that always wants to take "sneaky actions"—you don't need to become a "god of predicting the market," but you must become a "person who executes the rules."

Finally, it must be clear: having a small principal is not an obstacle; the deadly issue is the gambling mentality of "desperately wanting to turn things around in one go." The breakthrough from 600U to 20,000U does not rely on "god-like operations," but rather on the long-term adherence to rules, patience, and discipline. If you are in the stage of having a small principal, you might as well start with these three iron rules and gradually accumulate profits with "certainty."
