#数字货币市场洞察 For friends who only have a few hundred U in hand, I want to talk to you about something real.

Last year, I met a guy who entered the market with an account balance of exactly 800U. The first time we had a video call, I saw his hands shaking while watching the price K-line—not out of excitement, but fear.

Two months later, his account broke 18,000U. By the third month, it was approaching 30,000U. During this time, he had zero liquidations—not even a single forced liquidation text message.

You might say it was luck. But I have to tell you: in this game, it’s never about luck. It’s about whether you can control that hand itching to go all in.

The first question he asked me was: “What leverage is appropriate?” I immediately poured cold water on him—“Don’t think about leverage yet, you don’t even know how to split your positions.”

**You have to split your funds into three piles, or you’ll be wiped out sooner or later**

Put 300U into your intraday position. Only trade large cap coins like $BTC and $ETH, and exit after catching a 3%-5% small swing. Don’t worry about whether it’ll keep rising—leave when you hit your target. This pile’s job is to keep your trading skills sharp and accumulate principal, not to gamble on direction.

Another 300U goes into your swing position. Only use this when the major trend is clear, the structure is obvious, and the news aligns. Hold for 3 to 5 days, and sell everything once you’ve caught the main upward move. Remember: swing trading isn’t about staring at the screen every day—it’s about learning to wait.

The remaining 400U is your backup fund. Don’t touch it no matter who tries to persuade you. Don’t chase when the price soars, don’t bottom fish when it crashes. This is your last shot at a comeback, and the reason you can sleep soundly at night.

People who get liquidated always have only one position. Survivors always hold at least three cards in hand.

**Don’t chase every tiny little move**

90% of the time in crypto is just grinding. Things look lively with all the ups and downs, but there’s no real direction. If you’re trading on the 5-minute chart every day, you’ll just end up paying all your fees to the platform.

If there’s no trend, shut off your computer. Don’t fool yourself with “let me watch a bit more.” Wait until $BTC stands firm at a key support level, or $ETH breaks its previous high—those are the times to go all in.

One more thing: every time you make more than 15% on your principal, withdraw half. Only money in your wallet is real—numbers hanging in your account can turn into air at any time.

People who really know how to make money understand this: lie low and play dead most of the time, but strike hard when the opportunity comes.

**Discipline should be engraved in your mind, not just written in a notebook**

Always set your stop loss at 1.5%. If it hits, cut it—don’t tell yourself stories about “maybe it’ll bounce back if I wait.” The market won’t give you a second chance just because you hate losing money.

When you’re up 3%, close out half your position. Let the rest run and take whatever gains come. This is called letting profits run and keeping risk under control.

Never average down on a loss. The more you add, the deeper the hole—a hard rule. Don’t think you’re the exception.

You don’t need to predict the market right every time, but you must take the right actions every time. Making money comes from following rules; getting liquidated comes from feelings.

**Here’s a harsh truth**

Having little principal isn’t scary—what’s scary is dreaming of overnight riches with just a few hundred U. That guy grew from 800U to 30,000U not because of legendary skills, but because he wasn’t greedy, didn’t panic, and stuck to discipline.

If your heart still races over a fluctuation of a few dozen U, if you don’t know how to split your positions, can’t wait for the right signals, or can’t bear to cut your losses—what you lack isn’t luck, it’s a strategy that can help you survive.

The market’s opportunities are always shifting. Why can’t you be the next one to profit?

For intraday trading, keep an eye on $BTC, $SOL, and $ETH—these mainstream coins.
