#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 Small accounts turning around have never relied on a single gamble.

Last year, I followed a beginner with 500U. In three months, he grew the account to 28,000U, without a single liquidation. His secret to success wasn’t luck or a bullish market, but four words: discipline and patience.

Strategies for small capital must be meticulous. I’ve summarized his approach, which is especially suitable for the 500-800U range.

**Step 1: Divide the principal into three parts**

30%-40% for day trading, focusing only on $BTC and $ETH. Take profits decisively with 3%-5% swings, and limit to 1-2 trades per day before stopping. Don’t touch altcoins—they’re too risky for small accounts.

Another 30%-40% for swing trading. Enter when the 4-hour chart breaks through key zones with volume increasing, hold for 3-5 days, and take profit at 15%-20%, then reduce positions. This method doesn’t make quick money but is more stable.

The remaining 20%-30% stays untouched, even in extreme market conditions. This money is your chance to turn things around.

**Step 2: Choosing the right rhythm is crucial**

Crypto markets spend about 80% of the time sideways. Frequent trading is like giving transaction fees to the exchange. When there’s no clear signal, stay idle—really.

When profits reach 12%, take out half. Small accounts shouldn’t be greedy. Always set stop-loss within 3% of your principal. When it hits, exit unconditionally—no waiting, no hesitation.

If profits exceed 5%, immediately cut your position in half, and set a break-even stop-loss. Even if the market moves against you, you won’t lose money.

**Step 3: Emotional control is even harder than technical skills**

Many lose money here—trying to add to a losing position to recover, only to deepen the loss. No. When your account starts to decline, stop all trading and wait for the right opportunity.

The advantage of a small account is speed. You can adjust positions flexibly and react quickly. But that requires discipline to restrain yourself. If the gambling impulse to “turn things around in one shot” takes over, even 200U can wipe you out.

**In simple terms**

Follow the rules to preserve your principal, and rely on compound growth to make profits. Growing 800U to 20,000U isn’t difficult—what matters is persistence and self-discipline. When there’s no signal, sleep. When you’re profitable, take profits in stages. Don’t overdo it.

Many people stumble in the dark because they have no light. Now, the light is in your hand—it's up to you whether you use it.
