Making money is something many people think that if their principal isn't enough in the crypto circle, they have no chance. I want to say: this idea is actually the most deadly.

Having been in this circle for so many years, I've seen too many people treat trading as gambling, and in the end, they can only admit defeat. Conversely, those who survive and truly make money all share a common trait—they regard discipline as far more important than impulsiveness.

I have a student who started with 900U, grew it to 15,000U in five months, and in another half year, it will break 30,000U. If you ask me whether he's extremely lucky? No. It's because he has a clear and executable trading strategy.

**First Trick: Three-Part Allocation**

When the principal is small, how you divide it becomes even more crucial. How did I split his 900U? 300U dedicated to intraday trading, focusing solely on BTC and ETH, exiting as soon as the fluctuation hits 2%-4%, preventing profits from slipping away; another 300U for swing trading, waiting for clear market signals before acting, holding for 2-4 days—what matters is stability; the remaining 300U is for insurance, avoiding even the most tempting markets—this is the last trump card for a turnaround.

Why do it this way? A day in the crypto world is equivalent to a year in other markets. In high volatility, survival is the top priority. Many people go all-in at once, and a sudden crash wipes everything out—this is why having a backup plan is so critical.

**Second Trick: Not all market conditions should be taken**

Most of the time in crypto, the market is sideways. Trading recklessly when the trend is unclear is like giving away trading fees for free. True experts are actually good at waiting. When there are no clear signals, they stay put; once a trend is established, they strike decisively—that's the real way to make big money.
