Many beginners enter the market thinking they can double 1000U quickly, but reality is often harsh. 1000U is actually just chips for 8 chances to make mistakes; the key is how to use them.
**Diversified Allocation is the First Lesson**
With 1000U, divide it into 8 parts, each 125U. Use only one part for real trading in your account, and put the remaining 7 parts into a cold wallet. This is not conservative; it’s a matter of survival. Even if your account goes to zero, you still have the capital to bounce back. Many people die quickly simply because they don’t understand this principle.
**Small Positions, Big Mindset**
Don’t think about going all-in to turn things around. The smaller your position, the clearer you can see the market rhythm. A 125U position makes the ups and downs feel less stressful on your mindset. What you need is to survive long enough for the real opportunity to come.
**Leverage is Not an Amplifier, It’s a Knife**
15x leverage is a relatively safe upper limit—markets can handle fluctuations. Using 25x is already gambling with your life; 100x? That’s just giving your money directly to the market maker. Without sufficient market experience and risk awareness, low leverage actually helps you survive longer.
**Stop-Loss is Discipline, Not Failure**
Limit each trade to a maximum loss of 10%, which is 12.5U. When you reach this point, close the position immediately—don’t look for reasons to add more or hold on stubbornly. The moment you hit stop-loss can be uncomfortable, but that’s precisely the line between survival and failure. Keep emotions out of your account.
**Take Profits Quickly**
When your account reaches 250U, withdraw 125U back to your wallet immediately. Remove the principal to ensure safety; the remaining 125U is your real profit. This habit helps you survive through any market cycle.
**Living is the Greatest Victory**
Many traders are not defeated by the market, but by greed and illusions. If you can survive until the next big trend, you’ve already surpassed most people. It’s okay to go slow; stability is more important. Long-term activity is your greatest capital.
