When the funds in hand are not much, the most feared thing is a collapse in mentality. I have seen too many people thinking about making a quick turnaround, but the more anxious they are, the more chaotic it becomes, and in the end, they can't even protect their principal.

A brother who has been in the game for a few years shared his starting experience with me - it's not some profound strategy, just three very basic habits, but they really helped him stabilize his account over a few months and gradually build it up.

**First Habit: Money Should Be Kept Separate**
He rigidly divides the funds into three parts. One part is used for short-term trades, seizing opportunities and exiting immediately, never getting attached to a losing position; another part is specifically for waiting for mid-term trends, only taking action when the trend is clear; the last part is "safety money," which is untouched regardless of market fluctuations. The benefit of this approach is that even if he makes a wrong judgment, he won't lose everything at once.

**The second habit: only follow the trend**
The market oscillates back and forth most of the time, and beginners are particularly prone to frequent trading during such times, which leads to substantial losses due to fees and slippage. His approach is very simple: only take action when the direction is clear. If profits reach expectations? Withdraw a portion immediately to secure the profits in hand, rather than just on paper.

**The Third Habit: Use Ironclad Rules to Control Yourself**
No one can always get it right, but discipline can help you live longer. He set three strict limits for himself: a single loss should not exceed 2% of the total capital; if profits exceed 4%, lock in half first; never average down on losses, and don't dig the pit deeper.

He also mentioned that he has made several mistakes in a row while watching, but since he didn't lose much each time, he was able to quickly recover in the next wave of market trends.

Small funds are not a disadvantage; impatience is. If you are also in the accumulation phase, you might as well remember these habits. The market will not disappear; living longer will allow you to wait for your own opportunity.

Recently, I have been paying attention to the trends of ETH, SOL, and GIGGLE. With the adjustment of relevant policies, these assets may perform well.
