Today I’m specifically reminding friends whose principal is under 800U: if you want to turn things around in the crypto market, first stop and take a look at these 3 life-saving, profit-making rules—following them works far better than blindly charging ahead.

Last year, I guided a 500U beginner—from not knowing how to tell different order types apart to earning up to 2.8万 U in three months, with zero liquidations throughout. It wasn’t luck. It was strict discipline:

1. Divide the principal into three parts—keep yourself an exit
Split 500-800U into three parts proportionally:
- 30%-40% for intraday short-term trading: just focus on $BTC 、$ETH . Take profit when the price moves 3%-5%, do 1-2 trades per day and then stop immediately—don’t touch altcoins.
- 30%-40% for swing trading: wait until the 4-hour candlestick breaks out of the range and the trading volume expands before entering. Hold for 3-5 days, targeting 15%-20% profit.
- 20%-30% as the “life-saving money”: don’t move it even in extreme market conditions. Without it, you won’t have a chance to turn things around.

2. Only follow the trend—don’t waste energy on range-bound chop
In the crypto market, 80% of the time is sideways movement, and frequent trading is just handing over fees. If there’s no signal, wait. Take half off when you reach 12% profit—if you have a small principal, stability beats greed.

3. Rules come first—hold your hands
For every trade, the stop-loss must not exceed 3% of your principal; when it’s time, you must exit.
If profit exceeds 5%, cut your position size in half, and set the remaining stop-loss at your cost price.
Never add to a losing position—don’t let your emotions lead you astray.

With a small principal, the advantage is flexibility—what you fear is the gambling mindset of “turning it all around in one move.” Protect your principal by sticking to the rules and accumulate profits—rolling 800U into 2万 U isn’t hard. The key is discipline and patience.

Previously, one person would blindly ram through the dark at night—now the light is in my hands.
