Many people come to me complaining that their account has only around 5,000 dollars and they can't really play. Actually, that's not true. I once mentored a beginner trader who started with only 800U. His hands were trembling at first, afraid that a single mistake would lead to liquidation and wipe him out.

I told him one thing: follow the rules, and slowly you'll be able to grow.

What was the result? In 4 months, his account grew to over 19,000, and in half a year, it reached 28,000, all without a single liquidation. Many think this is luck, but it's not. Honestly, it's discipline.

**Tip 1: Always divide your funds into three parts**

Split your principal into three portions. 300U for day trading—only focus on BTC and ETH, the main coins. When volatility hits 2%-4%, take profits immediately. 250U for swing trading—wait for clear signals before acting, usually holding for 2 to 4 days. The remaining 250U stays idle; don’t touch it even in extreme market conditions.

Have you ever gone all-in during a rally? Feeling euphoric when prices rise, panicking when they fall, and finally getting wiped out in the volatility. Successful traders always hold a safety card.

**Tip 2: Wait for signals, not for time**

About 80% of the market time is sideways consolidation. Don’t act without clear signals—sit tight and wait for real opportunities. Once profits exceed 12%, take out half to secure gains. That’s real profit. The rhythm of a master trader is like this: do nothing until the right moment, then strike.

**Tip 3: Rules come first**

Set stop-loss at 1.2%. When hit, exit immediately—no negotiations. When profits exceed 2.5%, cut half of your position and let the rest run. Once you start losing, don’t chase to add positions. Don’t let emotions control your fingers.

You don’t need to predict the market perfectly every time, but you must always stick to your rules. Making money isn’t about prediction skills; it’s about using a system to control those impulsive hands.

Small accounts are not scary. What’s scary is the mindset of always hoping for a “big turnaround.” Growing from 800U to 28,000U isn’t luck; it’s rules, patience, and trading discipline built over time.

He used to stumble around in the dark, but now he has light in his hands. That light keeps shining.
