Everyone, if your account is still under 1,000 USDT, don’t rush in blindly. I’ve made mistakes before, and I really hope you don’t fall into the same traps—having a small starting capital isn’t shameful, but recklessly jumping in is what will hurt you.

I once helped a friend who started with 800 USDT. In five months, he grew it to 19,000, and now he’s close to 30,000 USDT. During this time? Not a single liquidation. He’s not a genius; he just strictly followed the “three iron rules” I kept repeating.

**Iron Rule 1: Diversify—It’s the Safety Net for Small Accounts**

Going all in = suicide charge. Don’t dream of getting rich overnight. The way he divided his funds made a lot of sense:
• 300 USDT for short-term trades—only watching BTC and ETH, taking profits or cutting losses at 3-5% moves, never getting greedy
• 300 USDT for mid-term setups—only entering on major events (ETF news, Fed actions, key support breaks), holding for 3 to 5 days, only taking trades with an 80% chance of success
• The remaining 400 USDT? Leave it untouched—this is your backup in case you get wiped out, so you can come back

Remember: as long as you have capital, you have a chance to recover.

**Iron Rule 2: Only Take the Juicy Meat, Don’t Gnaw on the Bones**

Trading too frequently? The fees will eat you down to the bone. When there’s no setup, stay patient. When there’s an opportunity, take your bite and get out.

Once your profit hits 15% of your principal, immediately withdraw half—numbers on the screen can be deceiving; only money in your bank account counts. Those who truly make money know: play dead most of the time, and when the wind comes, take your bite and run.

**Iron Rule 3: Let Your Rules Control Your Hands, Don’t Let Emotions Drive You**

• Stop-loss: cut at a 1.5% loss, no hesitation
• Take profit: take partial profit at 3%, let the rest ride
• When losing: never add to your position—adding is emotional, not tactical

You don’t need to be right every time, but you must make sure you “do it the right way” every time. The essence of making money: let discipline earn for you, not impulse lose for you.

Guys, having a small capital is really not the issue. The real trap is always thinking you can “turn it all around in one go.” Going from 800 USDT to 30,000 wasn’t luck—it was about not being greedy, not gambling, and sticking to the rules.

One last tip: Dollar-cost averaging is also a pro’s weapon—only by riding out the cycles can you laugh in the end. Stay steady, and you’ll go further than most.
