Brothers, today I’m sharing some practical tips—how to use 1000U to gradually build your first pot of gold in this market.



Someone always asks me, "I only have 1000U, how can I turn things around quickly?" My answer is straightforward: this isn’t gambling with your life, but rather stacking up little by little through rhythm, position control, and execution. I’ve seen too many people go all-in right from the start, and everyone knows how that ends.

Let me share a personal experience. Last year, I started with less than 1000U and turned it into over 20,000U in 23 days. Sounds unbelievable? The key isn’t luck, but mastering three critical details: volatility screening, leverage control, and trailing stop-loss. During this process, I stuck to a few ironclad rules, which I’ll share with you today.

**Step 1: Position size is the line between life and death**

Account with 1000U? Never risk more than 500U per trade. Beginners are advised to start with 200-300U to test the waters. Why be so conservative? The biggest task with small funds is to "stay alive," not to get rich overnight.

My own standard is strict: never risk more than 10% of the principal on a single trade. With a 1000U account, only allocate 100U for testing. Even if that trade wipes out, you still have 900U left to turn things around. Don’t complain that this pace is slow—crypto markets are never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are those who can stay alive long enough to seize them.

**Step 2: Only trade when you understand the market**

If you don’t understand something, better to miss out than to give away your money. What does "understand" mean? It must meet several conditions: clear support and resistance zones, alignment with the overall trend, manageable stop-loss levels, and a risk-reward ratio of at least 2:1.

My habit is to make at most 1-2 trades per day. When the market is unclear, staying on the sidelines is the best choice. The benefit of this approach is maintaining enough firepower to seize real opportunities when they arise.

It's easy to say, but the key is to stay alive. I am part of the group that died due to impatience and short-sightedness.

23 days from 1000U to 20,000, this number sounds a bit unbelievable... But to be honest, position control is indeed the key. I've seen too many people go all-in and then quit the scene. Only risking 10% of the principal at a time, I agree with this logic. You need to survive longer to make money.

23 days from 1000U to 20,000? That number sounds incredible, but staying alive with a low position is indeed the most important.

1000U flipping to twenty thousand? Bro, your luck is really amazing. Why haven't I run into that? --- That 10% position strategy, I knew about it long ago, but I just can't execute it. I always want to go all in. --- You're right. If you don't understand it, don't touch it. I'm just too greedy, which is why I keep losing. --- 20x in 23 days? That's a bit outrageous. It still depends on luck. --- Holding no position is indeed the hardest, but also the most profitable. I agree with that. --- Is it true that over twenty thousand U? I’m still a bit skeptical without a screenshot. --- A risk-reward ratio of 2:1? I can't find such a market at all; it's always the opposite. --- This theory is good, but where in the market are there so many opportunities for you to wait patiently? --- I can manage position control pretty well, but my stop-loss keeps getting hit. --- Hearing that you make 1-2 trades a day sounds simple, but in actual operation, your hands just can't stop.
