Got less than 5,000U in your hands? Don’t rush to go all-in—let me tell you a true story.

Last year, I brought a friend into the market. His account balance was 800U, and he didn’t even dare to hit the order button—afraid that one slip would wipe him out. I told him, “Don’t panic. Follow the rules and even a small amount can snowball into something big.”

Four months later, I checked his account: 19,000U. Two months after that, he was sitting at 28,000U. Zero liquidations the whole way.

Some say he just got lucky with the market? Nonsense. He stuck to three ironclad rules.

**Rule 1: Don’t go all-in at once**

How to split 800U? He divided it into three parts: 300U just for intraday $BTC and $ETH swings, taking profit or cutting loss at around 3% moves; 250U reserved for solid mid-term opportunities, holding for two or three days; and the last 250U never touched—this was his life-saving fund.

You’ve seen those who go all-in every time? They cheer when it goes up, panic when it drops. The ones who survive always leave themselves an out.

**Rule 2: Don’t overtrade during sideways markets**

Most of the time, the market moves sideways. If you keep jumping in and out, you’re just paying fees to the platform. If there’s no signal, stay on the sidelines—only take action when the opportunity is right.

His method was simple: once his profit hit 12%, he’d withdraw half—locking in gains. No greed, no panic; only acted when the moment was right. I watched him double his account—calm as a seasoned pro the whole time.

**Rule 3: Rules over feelings**

Never lose more than 1.2% on a single trade—cut it at that point, no exceptions. If he made more than 2.5%, he’d cut half the position and let the rest ride. Most importantly—never add to a losing position. Don’t let emotions control you.

You don’t need to be right every time, but you must always protect your bottom line. Making money isn’t about luck—it’s about controlling your hands.

Small capital isn’t a disadvantage—the danger is always chasing overnight riches. Going from 800U to 28,000U was all about discipline, patience, and systematic execution.

I used to stumble around in the dark—now, with rules in hand, the light’s always on. Whether you follow or not is up to you.
