#ETH走势分析 💰 Can small funds survive? Yes, but you have to quit gambling first.
There’s never a shortage of opportunities in crypto; what’s missing are people who can control themselves. Last year I mentored a newbie with a starting capital of 1200U. His hands were shaking during his first week of trading—not because he was afraid of losing, but because he was afraid of missing out on getting rich quick.
And what happened? In three months, the account broke 15,000U; in five months, it hit 32,000U. Zero liquidations the entire time.
It wasn’t luck—it was because he followed three strict rules.
---
🔥 **Rule 1: Split your funds so one mistake doesn’t ruin everything**
How do you divide 1200U? I told him to split it into three parts:
• **500U for short-term trading** Focus only on BTC and ETH, trade only on intraday moves, and take profit at 3%-5%. Get in and out fast—don’t get attached.
• **400U for swing trades** Hold for 3 to 5 days per trade. Don’t chase tops or bottoms—just take the safest middle segment.
• **300U as locked capital** This is the lifeline, never to be touched even in extreme market conditions. It’s the money to make a comeback if needed.
People who go all-in are already out of the game. Keeping money on the sidelines is what lets you win in the end.
---
🔥 **Rule 2: Only act when the trend is clear—if it’s uncertain, just sleep**
80% of the time in crypto is just sideways chop. Trading too often is just giving fees to the platform.
My habit is: - No signal? Shut down, don’t stare at the screen - Clear signal? Go all in, don’t hesitate
Up 15% profit? Withdraw half immediately. Secure your gains. Greedy people get buried halfway up the mountain.
---
🔥 **Rule 3: Rules over emotions—cold-blooded trading is profitable trading**
This one is the hardest to follow, but also the most crucial:
💔 **Never let losses exceed 2%** Cut the position at your stop, don’t get sentimental. Your position isn’t your girlfriend—no need to get emotional.
💸 **Take profit if up more than 4%** Lock in your gains first, then let the rest ride for more upside.
🚫 **Never add to a losing position** “Averaging down” sounds reasonable, but in reality, it’s a ticket to the abyss.
You don’t have to be right every time, but you have to handle every situation correctly. Let your system control your hands, and you’ll move from being the one getting rekt to the one winning.

🛑 **A small bankroll isn’t the problem—having a get-rich-quick mindset is**
Turning 1200U into 32,000U wasn’t about luck—it was about patience, discipline, and respect for the rules.
There are too many traps in crypto. I’m just handing you a set of survival strategies—it’s up to you whether you use them.

That's right, strict rules really saved me. I almost put all my 1500U into short-term trades, but luckily I stopped the loss in time. Now I'm also learning how to split positions for better risk management.

Simply put, it's a contest between self-discipline and gambling mentality; most people fail because of greed.

That’s pretty harsh—turning 1,200U into 32,000 is definitely a slap in the face to those all-in gamblers. But I still think the 2% stop-loss rule is too strict; it just doesn’t feel enjoyable that way.

Harsh words, but going from 1,200 to 32,000... this guy really relies on discipline, not luck.

nah the real vulnerability here isn't the market, it's people thinking discipline alone patches the exploit in their own psychology. technically speaking, the position sizing breakdown is sound... but that "2% stop loss" thing? interesting edge case where most traders fracture under actual losses. seen it happen too many times.

The words are harsh, but I've still seen too many people who agree with their mouths and go all-in with their hands.

What you said is absolutely right, but it's really hard to put into practice. Everyone around me went all-in and ended up crying.
