$RDNT Friends with less than 1000U, pay attention, don’t go all-in blindly! Today I want to share some practical tips from the heart: the crypto world is actually about rules, not a casino. Small capital needs to survive longer and earn steadily, and that starts with sticking to discipline.



I once mentored a beginner who started with 800U, and in two months, it grew to 18,000U. Now the account is close to 30,000U. The whole process involved zero liquidation and no major losses. It’s not luck, but a complete logical approach. Breaking it down, there are actually three hard rules.

**First: Funds must be diversified**

The biggest mistake with small capital is going all-in. Use 300U for day trading, focusing on capturing small 3-5% swings in BTC and ETH. Take profits when you’re enough, don’t be greedy. Use another 300U for swing trading, waiting for major events—like ETF approvals or interest rate policy changes—and exit after a few days. The remaining 200U should be held tightly as your emergency fund. No matter how volatile the account, don’t touch this money.

Why? Because survival is the most important for small capital. Only by staying alive can you have a chance to turn things around. I’ve seen too many people bet all their hundreds of dollars, get excited when they make money, panic when they lose, and finally get liquidated and out of the game. Remember this: keep your principal safe, then wait for the real market opportunity.

**Second: Wait for the right moment, don’t always operate blindly**

Most of the time, the crypto market is fluctuating sideways. Frequent trading is like paying transaction fees to the exchange. If there’s no clear direction, just relax—watch a show or take a walk instead of staring at the screen and making impulsive moves. Wait until BTC stabilizes at a key support level, or ETH breaks through previous highs. Only then, enter decisively. When profits reach 15% of your principal, take out half. This profit is real, and should be put into your wallet to count.

Traders who really make money understand one thing: pretend to be dead most of the time, then bite when the opportunity comes, and run. Don’t expect to make all the money from start to finish—that’s the trap of greed.

**Third: Use rules to control yourself, don’t be driven by emotions**

Stop-loss must be set at 1.5%. When it hits, cut immediately—no fantasies. When profits exceed 3%, reduce half of your position, let the rest run with the profit. Most importantly: never add to a losing position. Don’t believe in the “buy more when falling” hype. Averaging down isn’t firefighting; it’s pouring gasoline on the fire of your losses.

You don’t need to be right about every market move, but you must execute correctly every time. Let rules block your greed and fear, don’t let emotions ruin your account.

The core is to focus on main coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, and build your own trading system. Start by stopping losses, follow the rhythm, and eventually develop a stable profit model. These three steps are indispensable.
