Are you thinking of entering with less than $1200? Calm down.

You need to understand a harsh reality—people trying to turn a few hundred dollars into a fortune overnight, 90% of them are out within a month. This is not to scare you; the market is that brutal.

However, it’s not impossible. I’ve seen people start with $1,000 and reach $12,000 in 5 months. Now their accounts are stable above $60,000, and they never got liquidated during the process. Such people do exist, and the key is that they play differently.

The real secret is actually very simple—just these 3 core strategies. I myself started with $10,000 and used this approach to achieve stable profits.

**First Trick: The Three-Part Fund Allocation, Staying Alive Is Most Important**

A $1,000 allocation would be more stable:

$400 for intraday trading. Take profits when the market looks good, exit immediately after a 3% gain. Many people lose because they’re greedy—initially earning 5%, but holding on and eventually losing everything. Don’t do that.

$300 reserved for trending markets. Only trade when big opportunities appear, aiming for over 15% profit. Don’t touch it if there’s no opportunity.

$300 as reserve funds. No matter how tempting the market, this money is dead money—never move it.

Why do most beginners get out quickly? Because they go all-in at the start. Remember—staying alive is the next step. If your account is wiped out, everything is over.

**Second Trick: Only Trade in Main Uptrends, Don’t Gamble Against the Market**

70% of the market time is chaotic fluctuation. Frequent trading just gives away commissions to the exchange.

Don’t trade without a clear direction. No gambling, no impulsiveness. Wait for a breakout, wait for confirmation signals, and only trade when the probability is high. This reduces the number of trades but significantly increases the win rate.

When profits reach 25% of your capital, take out a portion first. Let the rest continue to run. This greatly reduces psychological pressure and makes it less likely to lose everything.

Operate less, observe more. Only act when you’re sure—this method is much more effective than random trading.

**Third Trick: Discipline Is Your Insurance**

Three iron rules you must follow:

Never lose more than 2% of your capital on a single trade. Cut losses at the stop-loss point—don’t hesitate or pray. Can you always see the market correctly? No. But discipline keeps you alive when you’re wrong.

When profits reach 5%, withdraw half of the profit first. Keep the rest with a breakeven stop-loss, allowing profits to run. This ensures gains and also relaxes your mind.

Never add to a losing position to average down. Don’t dream of “getting back to break-even”—that’s a death trap. Losses are losses; accept them and start over.

You will make wrong calls. But if you have discipline, you can survive when wrong; when right, you can hold on. That’s enough.

Mainstream coins like Ethereum and Bitcoin, whether futures or spot, are worth paying attention to. The market opportunities are abundant. As long as you stick to this mindset, you will eventually find your rhythm.
