#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Account only has a few hundred U? Don't rush to go all-in yet

— For traders still struggling in deep waters
$BTC $ETH

When your account balance is below 1000U, the worst thing you can do is be impatient.

This market never rewards gamblers; it only favors those who can last until the end. The thinner your capital, the more you need to keep your cool—don’t think about getting rich quick; preserving your principal is the real priority.

I know a guy who was left with just 500U last year. Every time before placing an order, he’d agonize for ages, thinking only about “how to recover losses quickly.”

I told him at the time: “With this little money, your top priority is not to get liquidated; making money comes second.”

Three months later, when I saw him again, his account had grown to 18,000U. The whole process: zero liquidations, zero margin calls. He didn’t rely on luck, just three strict rules:

**Rule 1: Divide your money into three parts—don’t put all your eggs in one basket**

Use 150U for short-term trades, only touching mainstream coins like $BTC and $ETH. Take profit or cut loss at 3% moves—never hesitate;

Another 150U for swing trades—only enter when there’s a clear breakout or breakdown on the daily chart with high volume, and keep the holding time under 5 days;

The last 200U is your lifeline—never touch it, no matter what, even in extreme market conditions. This is your comeback capital.

If you go all-in, it only takes one needle to bring you to zero; if you leave yourself a way out, you always have a chance, no matter how bad things get.

**Rule 2: Only trade trends—don’t mess around in sideways markets**

Markets move sideways 70% of the time; trading back and forth just pays fees to the platform.

My entry standard is simple: 15-minute K-line shows continuous volume + daily MACD gives a golden cross or death cross. Only act when both conditions are met.

When profits reach 12%, cash out half; let the rest run. Either don’t take the trade, or bite into the meat.

**Rule 3: Discipline above all—don’t let emotions take control**

If a single trade loses more than 2%, cut losses immediately; lock your screen and cool off;

When profits reach 4%, close out half; set a 3% trailing stop on the rest;

Never average down on losing trades—don’t fantasize about a rebound. Cut it when you need to.

Your judgement can be wrong, your discipline cannot be broken. Use your system to control your hands, and you’ll survive longer in this market.

Going from 500U to 18,000U was thanks to the compounding effect of “making fewer mistakes.”

Small capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is always thinking about hitting it big in one shot.

Copy these rules and stick them next to your computer. When your hands itch, repeat three times: diversify risk, wait for certainty, strictly follow discipline. Surviving is more important than anything.
