Rhythm is king, emotion is the enemy, and execution is the key.

A friend's experience is probably something many people have gone through: starting with 2800 USDT, eager to turn things around, chasing hot topics today, rushing into new coins tomorrow, flipping back and forth a few times, and soon the account is nearly drained. The most dangerous moment was when he went long on a certain coin, and within five minutes, it suddenly plummeted 15% in the opposite direction, almost getting liquidated. His account balance shrank to less than 2000 USDT.

After that incident, I realized clearly: small funds simply cannot take the fast track; they must follow a stable route. I set three ironclad rules for him, and two weeks later, his account balance grew to 37,000 USDT.

**01 Lock the principal, let profits circulate — this is the survival rule for small funds**

"Take profits first to play, and never go all-in with the principal." This is the ironclad bottom line I repeatedly emphasize.

How to do it? Divide the 2800 USDT into two parts: 2000 USDT as "defensive principal," which is never touched again; and 800 USDT as "offensive capital," used to initiate the position. The benefit of this approach is simple — the principal will never fall into a deadly risk.

The specific operational logic is as follows:

**Try small positions first; once profits exceed 50%, immediately withdraw the principal.** For example, if 800 USDT turns into 1200 USDT, immediately withdraw the 800 USDT principal, leaving 400 USDT as pure profit to continue trading.

**When profits double, withdraw half.** 400 USDT becomes 800 USDT, withdraw 400 USDT, and continue trading with the remaining 400 USDT.

**Repeat this cycle, and the market becomes a cash machine.** Even if the profit position explodes later, you are still overall profitable and will never return to the original point.

This method is completely different from traditional high-stakes gambling for big returns.
