What can you do with 1500U? It’s enough to help you survive in the crypto market—as long as you don’t mess around.



A lot of people take this amount and try to go all-in for a big win, only to hit zero in three days. I’ve seen it too many times—the speed at which your account balance goes to zero is always faster than you think.

Last year, I coached a guy who started with 1800U. He was extremely nervous placing his first order. I told him: pretend this is your house down payment you’ve saved up for three years. Whether you double it or not doesn’t matter—just don’t lose it all.

So what happened?
After 30 days, his account hit 12,000U.
After 90 days, it was 80,000U.
Not a single liquidation during that time.

It wasn’t luck—it was three hard rules.

**Rule 1: Split your money into three parts—never all in**
500U for short-term trades—stick to major coins, take your 3%-5% profit and get out, never get greedy.
500U for swing trades—if there’s no clear trend signal, keep waiting.
The remaining 500U is emergency money—no matter how crazy the market gets, don’t touch it.

**Rule 2: Only trade trends—sit out during sideways markets**
Most of the time, the market is just chopping around. Forcing a trade without direction is just giving money away. Only act when there’s a breakout at a key level. Up 12%? Withdraw half—profits only count when they’re in your pocket.

**Rule 3: Discipline is life**
Cut losses at 2% immediately—don’t hesitate.
Start taking profits in batches at 4% gains.
Never add to a losing position—this is a hard rule. Break it and you’re done.

Most people don’t lack skill—they lack discipline. The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing are people who can actually hold onto them. Small capital isn’t scary—what’s scary is treating small money like big money, going all in, and losing your chance to recover.

Starting with 1500U isn’t shameful. Blowing up your account to zero is. Remember these three rules—they’ll at least help you survive longer in this market.

These three hard rules are spot on, but too many people just won't listen—they insist on going all-in before they're satisfied.

Rely on discipline, not luck—I agree with this. I've seen too many all-in gamblers lose everything in just three days. 1500U is really enough to live on; the key is not to be greedy.

You’re absolutely right. That guy turning 8x in 30 days sounds a bit far-fetched, but discipline really can be a lifesaver. I personally ended up in the red just because I didn’t stick to that 2% stop-loss rule—really regret it now.

Turned 50x in 90 days? Bro, I don't buy your tall tales... But those three ironclad rules are for real. Just the one about cutting losses at 2% could save a lot of people.

80,000U in 90 days? Bro, I’ll have to see the statement to believe that number. There are just too many stories about people getting scammed.

Sounds good, but how many people can truly stay disciplined? I've seen too many people talk a good game, but go all-in as soon as there's some positive news.
