Small funds, chaotic rhythm? Don't think about getting rich overnight. Focus on surviving first.

A few months ago, I met a friend who almost wiped out his account.

He was obsessively watching hot topics and waiting for good news. As soon as there was any movement, he would go all in. The result? He either got trapped or cut his losses at a high point, and finally his mentality completely collapsed.

He asked me a question: "Is there still a way out for ordinary people in the crypto world?"

I replied to him with one sentence: "It's not that there's no chance, it's that your hands are too quick."

Later, I told him to do one thing—slow down the rhythm.

There are no mysterious tricks, no complex technical charts, just a few simple rules that couldn't be simpler.

**Rule 1: Don't chase the rise or cut your position prematurely**

When you see a hot topic exploding, it's usually already being dumped by the big players. The truly reliable opportunities often appear when no one is paying attention, during the worst emotional phase. When others panic, you enter; when others greed, you exit. It's that simple.

**Rule 2: Keep cash in your pocket**

No matter how much capital you have, always reserve at least 30% in USDT. This cash isn't for looking at. When prices fall, if you have no money, you can only watch helplessly. Having cash allows you to truly enter during a pullback. Without this ammunition, you're just a spectator.

**Rule 3: Never operate with full position**

Many people haven't lost money, but they have wiped out their previous gains with one full position. Position control determines whether you can survive to the next cycle. This principle sounds simple, but execution is the hardest part—yet it's the most important.

Some details about short-term trading worth pondering:

Don't rush to act during sideways consolidation; wait until the direction is clear. Opportunities often arise after a big panic candle. There’s usually a quick rebound after a rapid decline. Build positions in multiple batches; don’t try to get everything in one go. Be cautious during sideways periods after a big rise—it's better to take profits early.

This strategy won't make you rich overnight, but it can ensure you don't blow up your account, stay calm, and remain in the game.

Don’t envy those stories of doubling your money overnight. Most of those only happen once and are hard to repeat. Those who truly go far in the crypto world are those who make money slowly and survive time after time.

Remember: Slow down a bit—that's real speed.

The crypto world won't mind if you're slow, but it will definitely deal with impatient people.
