Speaking of the entry point, I was holding just 1500U—my hand was trembling as I clicked the buy button. Six months later, when my account surpassed 300,000U, I couldn't even believe it myself.
Someone asked me if I was extremely lucky? I have to be honest, not at all. The biggest fear for small capital is rushing for quick gains; as long as you’re greedy, the market will teach you a lesson in minutes. The reason I’ve been able to survive until now is because I’ve embedded the word "stability" into every detail of my trading.
Four months to break through 19,000U, half a year to reach 300,000U, with zero liquidation along the way—there’s no secret behind this, just strict adherence to three rules.
**First: Divide the principal into three parts**
I split 1500U into three 500U portions. One part is for intraday short-term trading, only trading BTC and ETH, exiting immediately when volatility hits 2%-4%, never greedy. The second part is for swing trading, only entering when clear signals appear, holding for a few days. The last 500U is never touched; it’s the safety net for the account and the bottom line for turning things around.
I’ve seen too many people go all-in, getting carried away when prices rise, panicking when they fall, and never making it to the end.
**Second: Trade only the trend, ignore the oscillations**
About 80% of the market time is in stalemate; without clear signals, just watch the show. When a trend truly forms, it’s not late to jump in.
As long as I make a profit of 12%, I take out half first—having money in my pocket feels truly secure. Doubling my capital relies on consistently taking profits step by step, not chasing the highs or being controlled by anxiety.
**Third: Rules above everything**
Never lose more than 1.2% on a single trade; if stop-loss is hit, exit immediately—no fantasies. Once profits exceed 2.5%, halve the position size, letting the remaining profits run. Most importantly: never add to losing positions; admit mistakes and never let emotions sway you.
You don’t need to be right about every market move, but you must follow the rules every time.
From 1500U to 300,000U, it’s really not luck. It’s the result of rules, patience, and discipline, built step by step. I once wandered blindly in the dark, but now I finally see the way. If you’re also exploring with small capital and want to steadily grow profits, we can walk this path together.

Stability is indeed the key to turning things around with a small capital, but it seems that most people still can't achieve it.

It's sincere to say, but going from 1500 to 300,000 still depends on the market favoring you. Rules are important, no doubt, but luck is really hard to explain.

15,000 to 300,000, it sounds just like the real thing... But this set of rules really has no flaws, it's just that execution is too difficult.

1500 to 300,000, easy to say, but how many can actually stick to it in practice?
---
The three-part method sounds simple, but I'm afraid when the actual drawdown happens, can you still maintain that resolve?
---
Setting a 1.2% stop loss, it’s easy to talk about but really hurts the wallet when actually doing it, haha.
---
Not getting liquidated is definitely a strong point, much better than those who go all-in at once.

Spending 80% of the time watching the show, this mindset is indeed difficult. I’m the type who can’t sit still.
