How to live below 2000U? Don't rush blindly, follow these 3 life-saving rules to keep your hands steady.

#数字资产市场洞察 $BTC $ETH
Let's start with the harsh truth: if you're playing the big market with just a few thousand U, you're the one who will lose the fastest. The less capital you have, the more strategy you need to employ, just like a hunter who never releases the string without a hundred percent certainty.

Last year, I met a trader with an initial capital of 1500U. At first, he placed orders randomly due to nervousness, but later he followed three core disciplines and turned it into 12,000U in a month, breaking through 50,000U in three months, all without any liquidation. Don't rely on luck; small accounts can turn around solely by adhering to strict discipline.

**The first key: divide the money into three parts, always leave a way out**​

Don't throw it all at once. This is how to allocate 1500U:

- 500U for short-term trading, only looking at 3%-5% fluctuations in BTC and ETH before exiting immediately.
- Trade with 500U for a few days, holding for 3-5 days to wait for signals to materialize.
- The last 500U is idle, this is the defensive line in extreme market conditions.

Those who use all their funds are afraid of everything. When the market rises, they start to get carried away, and when it falls, they begin to panic, usually exiting the market within three months. All those who make money have one thing in common: they keep some reserves.

**Second Key: Follow the Trend, Don't Waste Time in Consolidation**​

About 80% of the time in the cryptocurrency market is spent in sideways movement, and high-frequency trading is basically just giving away transaction fees. Rest when there are no clear signals, and take action when a trend appears. When profits reach 12%, withdraw half to secure the gains.

Those who truly understand trading never get entangled in fluctuations, and even when the market soars, they won't chase the highs; that is true composure. Many people perish due to FOMO.

**Third key: Use rules to manage emotions, keep your hands still**​

The maximum limit for a single stop loss is 2%, and it must be cut once it is reached; if you make more than 4%, reduce your position by half to let the profits continue to run; never add to your position when losing, as the thoughts at that moment are driven by emotion.

It is not required to accurately catch the bottom every time, but the rules must be strictly followed. The essence of making money is to use the system to overcome human nature.

**Ultimately**

Having a small principal is not the problem; the issue is the mentality of wanting to get rich overnight. Turning 1500U into 50000U relies on that kind of tedious discipline—there are methods for entering the market, signals for exiting, and a bottom line for losses. Following this path, it’s just a matter of time before small retail investors become winners.
