#SOL升值空间 Stop using your hard-earned money to pay for tuition. A few hundred dollars is a small amount; just surviving and coming out alive is already a win.

In the crypto world, it’s essentially a endurance race, not a casino. The one with a steadier mindset and the longer persistence will be the one to laugh last. When funds are limited, it’s even more important to learn restraint—first protect the principal, profits can come later.

I previously interacted with a fan whose account started with only 900U. When placing trades, he was trembling all over, thinking about how to double his money quickly. I told him a truth: "Don’t think so much, first learn not to get liquidated." After three months, his account grew to 37,000U, without ever being liquidated or adding a single penny of margin. This isn’t luck; simply following three "iron laws of survival":

**First: Divide your funds into three parts, always leave a way out**

Split 900U into three equal parts, each 300U, for different purposes:
• One part for short-term intraday trading, focusing on BTC and ETH, and exiting decisively if volatility hits ±3%.
• One part for medium to long-term swings, entering only when there’s a volume breakout or breakdown on the daily chart.
• The last part is emergency reserve, never touch in extreme market conditions. What happens if you go all-in? One needle prick and the account is gone. Conversely, leaving room for safety allows you to withstand any risk.

**Second: Follow the trend, avoid sideways markets**

75% of the market time is actually consolidation. If you trade frequently, you’re just working for the platform. My entry rules are: when the 15-minute chart shows continuous volume spikes and the daily MACD shows a golden cross (or death cross), only then do I act. When profits reach 12%, I take half off the table, and set a trailing stop at 3%. I rarely trade lightly; once I do, I aim to realize real gains.

**Third: Use discipline to suppress emotions**

• Close a position immediately if a loss reaches 2%, I even lock my computer screen forcibly.
• When profits hit 4%, take half off first, and set a trailing stop for the rest.
• Never add to losing positions; don’t think about "waiting for a pullback to turn around."

Markets can sometimes deceive, but trading discipline must never be compromised. Growing from 900U to 37,000U relies on the compounding effect of "reducing mistakes." Small funds aren’t scary; what’s truly frightening is the mindset of trying to turn things around with a single shot and defy the odds. Print out these rules and stick them next to your monitor. Every time your finger starts itching, take a look: protect your exit, follow the trend, and stick to discipline.

When the next big market surge comes, you’ll thank yourself for still being in this market.
