#数字资产市场动态 Small funds want to survive in the crypto world, what exactly is the difficulty?



I’ve seen many people go from a few hundred USDT to accounts worth hundreds of thousands, but most end up losing everything. I know a friend whose approach is quite interesting — starting with 800U, he took three months to grow his account to 500,000U, all without a single liquidation. The key isn’t luck, but three strict rules.

**Rule 1: Cash flow management, always reserve a bottom line**

How to allocate 800U? 300U for intraday quick trades, taking profits and exiting when the market is good; 300U dedicated to mid-term swing trading, which requires patience; the remaining 200U is the safety line, never to be touched. Many make the mistake of going all-in in one shot, losing everything in one go. Having chips in hand means you have a chance to re-enter.

**Rule 2: Follow the trend, ignore noise**

The exchange’s charts are constantly fluctuating, most of which are just noise. Forcing to chase swings is like paying unnecessary fees; it’s better to wait for a confirmed trend before acting. When you gain a certain profit, withdraw part of it immediately—don’t let unrealized gains turn into losses during a pullback.

**Rule 3: Use rules to control human nature**

Set a maximum loss per trade at 2% of your principal, and cut losses immediately when reached — no bargaining. When profits exceed 4%, take half off the table to lock in gains. The biggest trap is trying to average down after a loss, which only turns a small loss into a big one.

Small funds turn around not through reckless gambling, but through discipline and patience — gradually growing the snowball. Market opportunities are everywhere, but the premise is that you must stay alive to see them.

It sounds good, but the key is to stay alive. I used to be a all-in player, losing everything in one shot and then quitting. Now I understand what it means to keep the green mountains alive.

That's correct, but I think the hardest part is still the mindset... After seeing so many people, very few can truly stick to these three principles.

800U for three months with 500,000, sounds outrageous... But to be honest, the 2% stop-loss strategy is really reliable. I just lacked the patience to execute it, which is why I lost so much.

The actual test data here is worth further validation; 800U in March grew to 500,000... This growth curve indeed aligns with the compound interest protocol architecture. The key is the 2% stop-loss mechanism, which is somewhat similar to the risk isolation approach in cross-chain bridging.

Honestly, I believe that friend who went from 800 to 500,000, but the key point is that most people will still go all-in after hearing this story.
