Small capital entering the circle, is it really possible to turn things around? I have been asked this question countless times.

Taking 5000 yuan as an example, which is about 700 USD, this is actually a good starting point for trial and error. The key lies in how you play.

My strategy is to divide the principal into 7 parts, each 100 USD, using 3x leverage for initial positions, and steadily advancing through compound interest and rolling positions, never greedy or over-leveraging.

**This is how I operate**:

Use 100 USD to open a 3x long position on ZEC, observe if a bottoming pattern forms on the daily chart, and wait for volume confirmation, which may lead to a rebound and fill the gap. I usually set take profit at around 30%. Even if I do nothing, this trade can still net a pure profit of 100 USD. If I follow the volume and add positions accordingly, the profit can reach 300-500 USD, at which point the account balance would be around 400-500 USD, with the remaining 600 USD of the principal still intact.

**The most crucial point here**: Before opening the next position, always withdraw the initial 100 USD principal and only use the pure profit from the previous trade to roll into the next.

For example, take out 300-500 USD profit, still maintaining 3x leverage, but choose coins with sector heat, technical divergence, or subtle signals like a dragonfly doji, which will significantly increase the win rate.

As long as your technical judgment is accurate and you time the market cycle well, small funds can be gradually amplified through this cycle.

**But here’s a clear point**: The crypto space indeed offers ordinary people the chance to gamble with small money, but the price is to refuse reckless operations. Never follow gamblers who go all-in or use 30x, 50x, or even 75x leverage—this is not trading, it’s gambling. High leverage can trigger liquidation from small fluctuations, and the final outcome is losing everything and being forced out.

Trading requires risk management; understanding your risk tolerance is the only way to survive long-term.
