In the crypto market, those who truly make real money are usually not the smartest or most cunning, but the ones who can stick to discipline.

I've seen a trader start with $800, and in less than two months, turn it into $18,000, now approaching $30,000. The most impressive part? They've never been liquidated. Some say it's luck, but I have to tell you—it's not at all. This is the power of discipline.

From my own experience, starting with a small capital and growing to where I am now, the most profound lesson is this: having little money is not a fatal flaw; obsessing over "turning things around in one shot" is the biggest trap. The following points may seem less exciting, but they are definitely the secret weapons that will help you sleep peacefully.

**First Tip: Divide your funds into three parts, don’t try to go all-in**

A common approach is: holding a few hundred or a thousand dollars, thinking this amount is too insignificant, so you go all in. But what happens? I’ve seen too many accounts wiped out in a month.

The brother I mentioned follows a strict three-part division:

First part, $300 dedicated to day trading. Focus only on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), the two most liquid and stable assets. The goal is simple—capture 3-5% daily fluctuations and exit, never greed. This helps maintain market feel, and losses won’t hurt the principal.

Second part, another $300 for swing trading. This money is rarely touched, reserved for high-confidence opportunities. For example, market reactions before and after major news, or breakthroughs at key technical levels (Bitcoin holding support, Ethereum surpassing previous highs). Swing trading emphasizes stability, with cycles lasting from a few days to a few weeks, aiming to catch a significant trend.

The third part, also over $300, is for flexibility. When the market presents rare high-confidence opportunities—such as major bottom signals or policy favorable periods for mainstream coins—this portion becomes the main force. Focus fire on one or two high-probability opportunities, rather than spreading out.

The core logic of this allocation is simple: always leave room for maneuver and correction. No one can perfectly predict every market move; disciplined allocation is about surviving longer in uncertain times.
