To be honest, the essence of the crypto world is not a casino. The real dividing line is execution.

When I first entered the market, I only had 800U in my pocket. At that time, I heard many idle remarks: "This little money is just paying fees." The market was controlled by big players, and my principal was not even a splash. But what I want to say is—having little capital is never a fatal flaw; mindset is.

Relying on a repeatedly refined swing trading method, I turned 800U into 170,000U. It's nothing mysterious; it's about combining the method with execution—both are indispensable.

**Why do small funds die quickly?**

Not because of the market, but because of fees and emotional trading. The traditional "minimum 5 yuan fee starting from 0.5 yuan" is extremely unfriendly to retail investors—if you trade with 5000 yuan, you should pay 0.5 yuan in fees, but due to the minimum fee, it starts at 5 yuan, causing the actual rate to skyrocket to 0.1%. Frequent trading can eat away at your principal just from fees.

Therefore, I set the first iron law: Better to miss out than to make mistakes.

Initially, I only used 10% of my total funds for short-term swings, quickly entering and exiting. Using this strategy, I gradually grew from 800U to 2600U. The key is not to catch every opportunity but to only seize the opportunities you can confidently handle. The crypto market is highly volatile, and investing all at once is too risky.

**The three stages of swing trading—slow is fast**

Stage one: Survive (from 800U to 2600U). At this stage, the goal is not how much you earn but to verify whether your method is feasible. I insist on only trading mainstream coins because they have good liquidity and relatively controllable volatility, making risk easier to quantify.
