Trading leverage contracts with small funds often causes your heartbeat to race right after opening a position, fearing liquidation. This is not cowardice—it's a basic respect for the market.

What is the most common way to die with a $3000U level? Treat small money as if it were large money. I’ve interacted with many small-scale traders; among the surviving traders, none made money by rushing recklessly. Instead, those "aggressive" players were eliminated early by the market.

The primary task for small funds is not choosing coins or studying indicators, but preserving the principal. My approach is: split $3000U into 5 parts, using only $600U per trade. Keep leverage between 5-10x; exceeding this is like betting on a "pinprick," and the probability of getting wiped out skyrockets.

What if you lose one position? Stop immediately. Don’t think about adding positions to turn things around or chasing losses in a frenzy. I’ve suffered this loss myself— the more unwilling to accept it, the faster you die. Market opportunities are always there; take a day or two to reflect on the reasons for the loss, and the next wave of market moves will still be yours.

One action is especially important: whenever you make a profit, transfer away a portion. For example, if this trade earns $1000U, transfer $400U to lock in profits, leaving $600U to continue trading. This way, you secure gains and still have capital to participate.

Data speaks: with 10x leverage, just a 10% wrong direction can lead to liquidation. A 10% daily fluctuation in BTC is not news—it’s normal. A professional trader with a 60% win rate is already considered highly skilled. The secret to survival boils down to four words—small positions, quick stop-loss.

My strict discipline: if daily losses reach 2% of total funds, start to be alert; at 6%, decisively stop trading. Any profitable trades should first protect the principal, so profits can grow freely.

A final tip for beginners: don’t be aggressive with small money, use low leverage, stop-loss early, and walk away with profits. True wealth is built gradually, not by going all-in on a single bet.
