Last Friday I met a friend at a café, and when he glimpsed my exchange balance on my phone, his coffee cup almost slipped from his hand - 125511.45U. 'Did you hit the crypto lottery?' He kept scrolling on the screen. I smiled and pulled up a screenshot from March: 5002.7U, a number so ordinary it felt like pocket change.
'This is not a lottery, it’s calculated with a calculator.' I showed him 27 transaction records, the largest single one profiting 20,000U, the smallest one profiting 145U, with fees totaling only 885U, no liquidation.
In fact, the secret to doubling small funds lies in the words 'not greedy'. Today, I will break down this 'fund allocation + rolling fund' foolproof strategy, even if you are just starting out, you can roll your 5000U into a snowball.
1. The iron rule for allocating 5000U: 30% trial fund, to give the principal a 'bulletproof vest'.
I once had a student who put 5000U all in altcoins and lost 1200U in three days, crying that 'I will never touch crypto again.' This is the price of not understanding fund allocation - the worst thing for small funds is 'either win everything or lose everything.'
I drew three life-and-death lines with 5000U, like equipping the ship with three waterproof compartments:
Trial fund of 1500U (30%): used for exploration, even if it all fails, there’s still 3500U to recover.
Rolling fund of 2000U (40%): only move if the trial fund is profitable, pure profit acts as bullets.
Spare fund of 1500U (30%): absolutely no movement! Only use it for emergencies if the first two trades lose completely.
On April 12, for the first trade, I chose ETH and used 1500U to open a 5x leverage position (actual position 7500U), setting two foolproof points:
Stop-loss: sell when it drops 5% (maximum loss of 75U, about the cost of a meal).
Take profit: sell when it rises 10% (profit of 150U, enough to buy a picture book for my child).
Three days later, the profit-taking triggered, and the account became 5150U. I didn't increase my position, but instead split the 150U profit in half: withdrew 75U to buy fruit (real profit is cashing out), and threw the remaining 75U into the rolling fund (rolling fund capital became 2075U).
Key logic: The most common mistake made by 5000U players is 'wanting to increase positions when they profit, wanting to make a comeback when they lose'. The beauty of the 1500U trial fund is that even if you are wrong three times in a row, the maximum loss is only 450U, and spare funds can still cover it, ensuring you will never return to square one overnight.
Later, that student who lost 1200U, by following this ratio, has now rolled their 5000U to 33,000U.
2. The essence of rolling funds: let profits 'reproduce', with the principal as 'a carefree manager'.
When the account rises to 8500U, the rolling fund has accumulated 3500U - all profit, without touching the principal! Only then did I start using 'profits as bullets', while the 5000U principal always stays put:
The trial fund is always 1500U (the principal remains unchanged, risk is locked in)
Add 500U to the rolling fund each time (coming from profits, no pain if lost).
The trade on May 6 can be considered a textbook example:
Used 1500U principal to open a BTC long position, earning 200U.
Added 500U from the rolling fund to open an ETH long position, earning 75U.
The two trades together earned 275U, withdrew 137U to improve life, and continued rolling with the remaining 138U.
It's like raising geese: the principal is the goose, the profit is the goose eggs; eat goose eggs every day, and the goose keeps laying eggs, rather than killing the goose for soup.
Where do many people lose in rolling funds? They treat the principal + profit as 'new principal' and increase positions when they earn 2500U; once it drops 20%, they lose 1700U, which is equivalent to doing nothing. Remember: rolling funds can only use 'additional profits', the principal must be protected like an old hen looking after its chicks; touching the principal = cutting off the road back.
3. Only focus on 3 coins: avoid 90% of beginner loss traps.
In the past two months, I have only dealt with BTC, ETH, and SOL. Some say 'altcoins can rise 10 times, mainstream coins are too slow,' but the data doesn't lie:
Buying altcoins with 5000U, even if it rises 10 times, you might not be able to sell because 'no one is taking over', and you end up watching it drop back down.
Mainstream coins can still be traded even if they drop 50%, stop-loss can be executed anytime, ensuring no stuck orders.
Once, when SOL suddenly dropped by 15%, I used 3500U from the rolling fund to buy the dip, setting a 5% stop-loss (maximum loss of 350U). After 48 hours, it rose by 10%, netting a profit of 700U. The confidence to buy the dip comes from three hard indicators:
✅ Circulating supply of 1 billion coins (large market cap, the big players can't manipulate it)
✅ 24-hour trading volume of 5 billion U (can buy or sell anytime)
✅ Dropped for three consecutive days but the volume did not increase (not real selling, it's just a washout)
In contrast, those who chase after air coins: 5000U made a profit of 835U on the first day, but the project team ran away on the second day, going directly to zero, with no chance to stop-loss. The iron rule for small funds to recover: better to earn 10% on mainstream coins (sleep well) than to risk 100% on altcoins (heart racing).
Avoid these 3 pitfalls, turning 5000U into 10 times is just a matter of time.
Finally, I want to say that the leap from 5000U to 125,000U has never relied on 'winning the lottery', but rather on executing the three simple methods of 'trial and error in fund allocation, rolling profits, and focusing only on mainstream coins' to the utmost extent. Those who think 'small funds must charge fiercely' often do not understand: the most stable way to double your money in crypto is hidden in the words 'not greedy'.
Fund allocation gives the principal a 'bulletproof vest': 30% trial fund (1500U) for exploration, 40% rolling fund (2000U) for increasing positions, and 30% spare (1500U) for emergencies. Even if you are wrong three times in a row, the maximum loss is 450U, and spare funds can still cover - this is the survival logic for small funds: living longer is more important than earning quickly.
The essence of rolling funds is 'to let profits reproduce': the principal of 5000U always stays put, only using profits to increase positions. It's like raising geese, eating goose eggs but not touching the geese, while the rolling fund's 3500U is all profit, so there's no pain even if it loses. Those who mix principal and profits together for increasing positions will find that a 20% drop means all their efforts are in vain, while those who keep their principal intact will always have another chance.
Only focus on 3 mainstream coins (BTC, ETH, SOL) is key to avoiding 90% of traps: large circulating supply, active trading; even if they drop 50%, stop-loss can be executed to exit; altcoins may seem to rise sharply, but might end up going to zero due to 'no one taking over'. For small funds to recover, it’s better to earn 10% on mainstream coins (sleep well) than to risk 100% on altcoins (heart racing).
If you have 5000U and are always entangled in 'afraid of losing everything' and 'wanting to make a comeback'; if you want to know the specific allocation ratio of trial funds, rolling funds, and spare funds, want to understand how to catch the entry signals of mainstream coins, and want to avoid the pitfalls of 'greedily increasing positions and randomly switching altcoins' - you might as well write down these methods.
Next, I will break down the Excel template for allocating 5000U, the profit calculation sheet for the rolling fund, and the take profit and stop-loss points for mainstream coins, so that beginners can operate step by step with the numbers. After all, the advantage of small funds is flexibility, not gambling with your life.
Follow me@趋势猎手老金 , tomorrow I will first discuss 'specific order opening skills for 5000U trial fund', so that every penny you spend is in a 'reliable' place. Remember: the starting point of 125,000U might just be the cautious operation of this 5000U today.
