#ETH走势分析 How can small funds survive in this market? To be honest, last year I helped a friend get started—he only had 1200U in hand.

The first time he placed an order, he was so nervous he could barely hold the mouse steady. I told him one thing: in this business, it’s not about who’s the boldest, but who lasts the longest.

So what happened? In three months, his account grew to 15,000U, and in five months, he broke through 32,000U. The whole time, he never got liquidated once.

Luck? Maybe a little. But it was mostly because he really followed the rules.

I’ve written down the hard rules I set for him back then. See if they’re useful for you.

**Rule 1: Divide your money, don’t go all in**

Here’s how his 1200U was split:
500U for short-term trades. Focused only on major coins like BTC and ETH, aiming for 3%-5% intraday moves, taking profits quickly without hesitation.
400U for swing trades. Holding period stretched to 3-5 days, never chasing pumps or panicking on drops, only entering when the trend was clear to catch the safest middle part of the move.
The last 300U? Locked away. No matter what, don’t touch it—even in extreme market conditions. This is your lifeline and comeback fund.

I’ve seen plenty of people go all in, and they all ended up the same way—liquidated and out. Keep something in reserve so you can wait for the next opportunity.

**Rule 2: Don’t act without a signal, but go hard when you get one**

80% of the time, this market is just grinding sideways with no clear direction. Frequent trading just hands your money to the platform in fees.

So I told him: when you can’t read the market, you’re better off turning off your computer and sleeping than staring at the screen. When a real opportunity comes, go in big—don’t hesitate.

What if profits hit 15%? Withdraw half immediately. Locking in profits never goes out of style—the greedy always get buried halfway up the mountain.

**Rule 3: Let rules control your emotions, don’t get attached to positions**

Single trade stop-loss limit is 2%—when you hit that, you must cut, no exceptions or wishful thinking.
If profits go above 4%, cut half the position—lock in the gains first, then decide if you want to keep going.
Never add to a losing position. Anyone thinking about “averaging down” is just digging a deeper hole.

You don’t have to get every market call right, but every trade must follow your system rules. Only discipline can keep your hands in check so you survive while others lose money.

**Having little capital isn’t the problem—chasing overnight riches is the real trap**

Going from 1200U to 32,000U wasn’t about catching some miracle moonshot coin. It was about following the rules every time, being patient, and holding the line.

There are too many traps in this market. But as long as you have your rules and rhythm, even a small account can grow steadily.

The rest is up to you.
