I have seen too many people trying to turn around the crypto market with just a few hundred U. Account balance below 1000U? Don’t rush to go all in.



Last year, I guided a friend into the market with a starting capital of 600U, and he was trembling even when opening a position. His biggest worry was losing everything in a single trade. I told him: "Follow the rules, small money can grow big."

In one month, his account grew to 12,000U.
In three months, it directly exceeded 50,000U.
During this period? Zero margin calls.

Some say this is luck.
No, this is called execution.

The following three risk control rules helped him go from 600U to where he is now—and can help you too.

**Rule 1: Divide your bullets into three parts, don’t shoot them all at once**

Split your principal into three equal parts.
- First part for short-term trades: only trade BTC and ETH, exit when volatility hits 3%-5%. Fast in and out within the day, don’t be greedy.
- Second part for swing trades: wait for clear signals before entering, hold for 3-5 days, aiming for steady gains.
- Third part for locking in: do nothing regardless of the situation. This is your insurance fund, your capital for turning things around in extreme market conditions.

Have you seen those who go all-in on a single trade? When it goes up, they’re floating; when it drops, they panic. In the end, it’s always the same outcome. People who make money always leave a way out for themselves.

**Rule 2: Only eat the trend’s meat, don’t waste time in sideways markets**

Most of the market time is spent in sideways consolidation.
Frequent trading? You’re just paying tuition to the platform.

Wait for signals. When signals appear, go all in.
Profit reaches 12%? Take half the profit off the table, let the rest run.

True experts aren’t glued to the screens every day. They do nothing until the right moment, then make a move with a purpose. When I see him doubling his account, his approach is: no chasing highs, no bottom fishing, no panic. Just steady.

**Rule 3: Rules are above everything, control your hands**

- Stop-loss no more than 2% of your principal per trade, exit on time, don’t hesitate.
- When profit exceeds 4%, halve your position size, lock in gains.
- Never add to a losing position, don’t let emotions control you.

You can’t always pick the right direction every time.
But you must always stick to your rules.

Making money ultimately comes down to using a method to control that pair of hands that always want to mess around.

Remember this:
Having less capital isn’t the problem; the real issue is you always want to "turn everything around in one shot."

Growing from 600U to 50,000U isn’t luck—it’s rules, patience, and discipline.

The market is always there, but your capital only gets one shot.
