When your account is down to only 2000U, many people choose to give up. But some choose to return to basics—using discipline to survive.



**Small capital, still need to learn how to stay alive**

2000U isn't much, but it’s a litmus test for trading skills. Divide it into 5 parts for operation, with a maximum loss of no more than 5% per trade. This is not conservatism; it’s wisdom. Once you misjudge the direction and quickly cut losses of 18U, then immediately switch to a different approach—buying the dip and flipping for a 150U profit. Surviving is the only way to wait for a real turnaround.

**Three ironclad trading rules**

**Position diversification is the first line of defense.** Funds should be divided into at least 4-5 independent parts. Never believe in the idea that "a single trade will definitely win." Diversifying risk is not cowardice; it’s respect for probabilities.

**Take profit with a step-by-step mindset.** Take 30% profit after earning 20%, then take 50% after earning 50%, but always leave a core position. The benefit of this approach is that you can enjoy gains while still keeping the opportunity for further upside.

**Breakdowns are signals to exit.** Support levels broken, unclear logic, deteriorating fundamentals—once these happen, walk away decisively. Entanglement only leads to more losses.

**From 2000U to 60,000U, what is it relying on?**

It’s not luck; it’s replacing greed with discipline. Opportunities in the crypto space are always there, but those who survive longer earn more. Risk management isn’t about maximizing profits; it’s about staying in the game until the real big opportunities come.

Don’t be an emotional trader. The market is always changing, but the only constant is the rules. Use the right methods and walk each step steadily.

Really, discipline is even more valuable when you have small funds. I lived through it that way back then. Not managing positions is just asking for death.

Learning this set of position splitting is indeed necessary, but to be honest, it requires discipline, which is easier to say than to do.

To be honest, turning 2000U into 60,000 relies on this set of strategies. Going all-in early has long been outdated. Position sizing, stop-loss, ladder exits... It sounds simple but is truly the essence of survival. I've seen too many people lose everything in one greedy move, only to realize later what risk management really means.

Well said, this set of discipline is indeed tough. I myself have died a few times to understand that greed is deadly, and stop-loss is life-saving.

Really, I truly understand the concept of position sizing now; otherwise, I would have blown my account long ago.

That's right, living is the true way. Too many people lose because of greed. I've seen guys go all-in and go broke directly.
