Many people enter the crypto market hoping to turn things around quickly, but the market often teaches them what reality really is in the first lesson. Liquidation is not bad luck; frankly, it means you didn't play your hand right.

Recently, I guided a complete beginner with zero foundation. Starting with 1200U, their account grew to 25,000U in three weeks, now steadily staying above 38,000U. No liquidation occurred throughout the process, and they withstood various market fluctuations. This method is actually the core logic I’ve used after years of small capital rolling into financial freedom, and I’ve reproduced it completely this time. Today, I’ll break down this approach.

**Money should be divided into three parts; only by surviving can you talk about making money**

How to use 1200U? Divide it directly into three account pools of 400U each, with each pool having a different function. This division of labor prevents chaos.

The first pool of 400U is for intraday opportunities. Focus on one trade per day, aiming for a 2%-4% increase, then exit immediately. Once out, close the position and move on to other things. Frequent trading actually contributes to the exchange’s fees and is an invisible killer of principal. Honestly, most market conditions are not worth participating in; learning to let go is key to preserving capital.

The second pool of 400U is for swing trading. This pool’s characteristic is patience—waiting for the daily chart to break above a key resistance or below an important support level, then entering with a stop-loss order. After that, sit back and enjoy gains of over 8%. The secret to swing trading is patience—market movements take time. Don’t rush to close your position out of impatience, as that destroys your plan.

The third pool of 400U is for defense. This money is permanently locked in the wallet and is not touched regardless of how turbulent the market gets. It may seem like a waste, but in fact, it eliminates the temptation to gamble everything and preserves the seed for a comeback. This is the bottom line of risk control—losses on individual trades must never eat into this portion of funds.

The core of this three-part division is: acknowledge your greed and constrain it with rules. Small capital needs to survive longer; rules will always outweigh technique.
