Last month, I heard about a trader who used a small account to go from 3,700U to 20,400U in 31 days. The secret is actually very simple — strictly following a set of position management rules without any flashy indicators.

**Rule 1: Beginners Must Be "Ants"**

Divide the total capital into 100 parts; suppose 3,700U is each part, so each is 37U. The first trade should only invest one part, not more — this is the mental safeguard. Set a strict stop-loss at 99.2% of the entry price, and pre-set it on the exchange; don’t change your mind later. If you add to your position in stages, base the spacing on the recent two-week average daily volatility, don’t add randomly based on feelings. Remember, greed in the initial position can ruin the entire rhythm.

**Rule 2: Only Increase Positions During Volatility Breakouts**

Use the 4-hour ATR to monitor volatility. When it suddenly jumps above twice the 60-day moving average, that’s a "storm" signal. Only then can the ant transform into a mantis: lock in the first 37U; when floating profits exceed 50%, add to 111U; if a new high is reached, be ruthless and add up to 240U (keeping overall position around 26%). The key is that the third addition must meet two conditions simultaneously — the top ten on-chain addresses hold no more than 45%, and the 24-hour funding rate shifts from positive to negative. If either condition isn’t met, wait patiently.

**Rule 3: Set a "Alarm" for Profits**

When unrealized gains reach 300%, it’s time to wake up. Take out the principal and half of the profits first; the remaining part continues to run in "alarm mode": each time the price increases by more than 10%, move the stop-loss up by 7 percentage points. Especially between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., use a market order to set take-profit, avoiding manual reactions. Why? Data over two years shows that the risk of a flash crash during this window is over four times higher than usual.

It all boils down to these three rules: start as an ant to build a foundation, wait for a storm to add positions, and remember to take profits. This trader doubled their account in a month by following these rules. With enough discipline, small capital can gradually grow into a snowball.
