Have less than 2000 U? Listen to me, don't mess around.
If you want to survive with a small amount of capital, learn to be steady first.
Last year, I started with a friend of mine with 1800 U. Now his account has consistently exceeded 50,000+. He spends only 20 minutes a day, never stays up late, and never makes random trades.
The key is three steps: position allocation, trend detection, and strategic focus.
Step 1: Position allocation for survival
Divide your money into three parts, each with its own purpose:
700 U for intraday trading, up to twice a day, and exit when you see a profit.
700 U for trend trading, 1-2 times a week, only trade when the signal is clear.
Use 600 U as a trump card, only in extreme circumstances. Even if you lose everything, you can still recover.
Step 2: Only trade in confirmed markets
Don't gamble when things are unclear, only trade when the opportunity arises:
Don't touch sideways markets; 80% of losses come from forced trading.
Enter the market only when the trend is clear; missing out is better than making a mistake.
If you make a 30% profit on a single trade, take half first and let the rest run.
Step 3: Use rules to control your emotions.
The biggest pitfall in trading is your mindset:
Set a 2% stop-loss and execute it automatically.
If you make a 6% profit, reduce your position immediately without panicking.
Never add to your position when you're losing money; this is the most common cause of a margin call.
Now, I just scan the market daily, place my trades, profit where I should, and exit where I should, at a steady pace.
Remember this: To turn a small portfolio around, you must first avoid losing money.
Splitting your positions, waiting for signals, and maintaining discipline can help you avoid two years of pitfalls. $BTC
