If you still can't gather 1500U, take it easy first. The crypto world is very deep; it's not about who has the biggest guts to make money, but about those who follow rules and discipline surviving the longest.

Last year, I taught a buddy who started with 1200U. In four months, his account grew to 25,000U. Now he's stable above 38,000U, and he's never experienced a liquidation. Do you think this is luck? Nonsense. He strictly followed three ironclad rules.

**First, divide your money into three parts and never go all-in again.**

How did he split it? Very clearly:
• 400U dedicated to intraday short-term trading. Just one principle—only one trade per day, exit on time, no greed.
• Another 400U for swing trading. This 400U tests patience the most—wait for clear weekly-level opportunities before acting.
• The last 400U? This is "life-saving money." No matter how turbulent the market gets, you must never touch this fund.

Why split it this way? Full position means risking all your trial-and-error opportunities. In this market, survival is the only way to turn things around. Once dead, there are no stories left.

**Second, don’t fight the market noise, just follow the trend.**

The market is chaotic every day, but in fact, 80% of the time it’s just disorderly fluctuations—that’s the most annoying part. His strategy is simple: if he can’t see a clear trend, he stays out of the market, waiting patiently, even if he misses opportunities. When profits reach 20% of the principal, he immediately withdraws 30% to lock in gains, and continues running the rest.

Real big money never comes from small daily gains, but from a few key major moves. Frequent trading? That’s just working for the exchange.

**Finally, and most importantly—use rules to kill emotions.**

Set a stop-loss at 2%. Once hit, don’t adjust it—just exit immediately. After a 4% profit, cut your position in half, and let the remaining orders trail with a moving stop to keep earning. Never add to a losing position—mistakes are already made; adding more just widens the hole.

In the end, it’s not about who is smarter, but about who can say "no" to their own rules.

Turning small funds around is never about some miraculous reversal. It’s about solid position management and disciplined repetition, allowing money to compound slowly in a low-risk environment.

Honestly, avoiding pitfalls is the fastest way to upgrade.
