1200U principal, eventually reaching tens of millions—sounds like fantasy? But small capital really can carve out a path in the crypto market.

I also started with 1200U, my mind full of dreams of "all-in and doubling up." The result? I got liquidated in less than two weeks 💥. After that, I realized one truth: contract trading is not about luck, it's about survival.

🔥 **How to play with small capital? First, understand position splitting logic**

Even if I only have 500U, I would never put it all in. My approach is: keep 300U as a safety cushion, use 200U to test the waters.

How do I operate specifically?
- Use 500U as the base position, open 20x leverage, which is equivalent to having 10,000U of operating space
- Limit each loss to under 100U per trade, set the profit target at 500U and exit

With this calculation, the risk-reward ratio is 5:1. One mistake loses 100U, one success nets 400U. The people who laughed at me for being conservative all disappeared three months later. The market is this realistic: only when your account survives, do you have a chance to make a comeback.

🎯 **Don’t trade every market, wait for opportunities like a hunter**

What’s a “recognizable” opportunity? It’s when you can clearly judge the support and resistance levels, and know at which point you must cut your loss.

Most of the time, the market is in ineffective consolidation 🌊. Trading frequently is just giving money to the whales. I’d rather only make two trades a week than touch markets I don’t understand.

🛡️ **Stop-loss isn’t for show, it’s your lifeline**

I used to allow a maximum loss of 50U per trade. If the line is hit, cut it instantly—never get lucky.

Trading isn’t about who makes money faster, it’s about who survives longer. Holding onto losses will only turn small wounds into fatal injuries. You can accept missing out on opportunities, but never accept being liquidated all at once.

💰 **Unrealized profit isn’t money; only realized gains count**

When the account grew to 3000U? Immediately withdraw 500U and put it into a cold wallet ❄️.

Don’t think it’s too little—having funds set aside gives you a much more stable mindset. My habit is: every time profits increase by 50%, withdraw 25% and set it aside. This way, even if you lose later, at least your principal remains.

**If you want to survive in crypto, you need to develop these abilities:**
- Peace of mind: Stay calm when you win, don’t panic when you lose
- Patience: Only act when there are high-certainty opportunities
- Execution: Get in when you should, cut losses when you should, don’t hesitate
- Independent judgment: Block out noise and trust your own system

At the same time, quit these three bad habits: greed, fear, indecision.

Don’t ask whether you can make a comeback with 1000U—the answer lies in your trading discipline.

Crypto isn’t a casino, it’s a battlefield 🛡️. Follow this rhythm for a month, and your account will give you feedback. It’s okay to go slow—staying steady is the only way to go further.
