Starting from 1000 units, how to gradually turn it into a 10x account? Many people ask me this question. Instead of repeatedly explaining, I might as well lay out the entire logic today.

To be honest, compounding is not about going all-in at once, nor is it about daily huge profits. It’s built step by step through risk control, rhythm, and discipline. Using an initial amount of 1000U as an example, follow this framework:

**Stage One: Survival is the most important**

Keep the initial position within 500U. If you are more aggressive in the first few trades, use only 200~300U to test. Why be so conservative? Because the only task for small accounts early on is: don’t die. Keep drawdowns under 20%, avoid account zeroing out. If you can’t even do this, then doubling your account is just wishful thinking.

**Stage Two: Only take opportunities you understand**

What does understanding mean? Clear support and resistance levels, a major trend direction, a controllable stop-loss, and a profit-to-loss ratio of at least 2:1. The early rhythm is: take one trade, survive one trade. Don’t expect every trade to be profitable; as long as you don’t die, you win.

**Stage Three: Set stop-losses in advance**

Limit each trade’s loss to 5%-7% of the account. For a 1000U account, don’t let a single stop-loss exceed 50-70U. Some think this is too cautious? First, ask yourself whether you want to gamble for a turnaround or want to keep the account alive to reach 5000 or 10,000? Attitude determines choice.

**Stage Four: Take profits rhythmically**

Capture 30-50 points in small swings; for larger trends, aim for 80-150 points. If mid-term, target a profit-to-loss ratio of over 3:1. Greed is not good; just capturing a segment is a win.

**Stage Five: Account size determines position size**

When the account reaches 3000U, you can start increasing position sizes. At this point, you can risk 800-1000U per trade, but risk control should be reduced to 3%-5% of the account, and total drawdown at each stage should not exceed 15%. The logic is clear: small money is for survival, medium funds for acceleration, large funds for protecting profits.

**Stage Six: Double the account, raise the stop**

From 1000 to 3000, take out 500U first to lock in profits; as the account continues to grow, regularly withdraw profits proportionally. This also provides peace of mind because even if the drawdown is large, it can’t wipe out already realized gains.

Final note: If you really want to do this, follow this framework and execute diligently for 30 days. Don’t ask others if their accounts have doubled; your account curve will speak for itself. If the direction is right, just follow the rhythm.
