Staring at the candlestick chart in the middle of the night, watching my account grow from three thousand to five figures, I often think—if three years ago someone had told me "Probability is the real winning strategy, not a Hail Mary," maybe I would have avoided a few account blow-ups.

What I’m sharing today isn’t anything mysterious; it’s just a few rules I’ve developed with real money to stay afloat. In a nutshell: treat three thousand as if it were thirty thousand when planning, not three hundred to gamble.

**Tip 1: Kill the Dream of Instant Wealth, Split Your Capital into Three Shots**

The most common mistake beginners make is using "less capital means more flexibility" as an excuse, and pushing all their chips in at once. In reality, the biggest advantage of small capital is—cost-effective trial and error. Losing a hundred dollars doesn’t affect your life, but earning a hundred dollars can build ammunition for the next move.

How do I do it?

Divide three thousand (about $400) into three parts, each $100. Focus on one coin per part. Once I make two hundred dollars, I withdraw the principal, and the remaining profit is used for the next gamble. If I hit the stop-loss line (for example, a 10% drop), I cut immediately and don’t add to the position.

What’s the logic behind this approach? Win three times in a row, and the principal can break through the thousand-dollar mark. Even if I lose twice in a row, I still have a third shot to turn things around. Compared to a single bet that decides everything, this gives two extra chances.

**Lesson from Blood:**

Last year, I chased a hot coin without splitting my position. It surged 80% in a day, but I didn’t sell, thinking I’d wait. The next day, the trend reversed, good news turned bad, and I lost my principal overnight. That’s when I realized—small capital isn’t about doubling in a single round; it’s about rolling a snowball through continuous small wins.
