Many beginners ask, how to steadily grow 1000U? The key is not about making huge profits, but about surviving first and then making money. Today, I’ll share a practical approach.



**Startup Phase: Split 1000U in half, focus on mastering basic skills**

Use 500U for "trial and error training." Prefer mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum—small coins are too volatile, and beginners can't handle the emotional stress.

Many will ask why not just spot trading? Because light leverage (1-3x) allows you to train position control and discipline with minimal cost. There are only two core rules:
- Stop loss immediately at a 20% loss (remaining 400U), no hesitation
- Close position at 100% profit (reaching 1000U), don’t be greedy for the last bit of gain

The training is about execution, not chasing huge profits.

**Snowball Phase: Prioritize stability, double up before re-entering**

1000→2000: Use half of the current capital to open a position
2000→4000: Same strategy
4000→8000: Keep the same pace

Only use half of the funds each time, not rushing, just ensuring each trade survives.

**Anti-liquidation Phase: Upgrade risk control after reaching 8000U**

At this stage, switch strategies: only use 1000U per trade, leaving 7 chances for trial and error. Even if you lose 7 times in a row, your principal remains safe.

Insist on isolated positions—each loss only affects that 1000U, never risking the entire capital.

**Four Iron Rules of Operation**

1. **Cut losses immediately** - Waiting for a rebound is giving away money; the market doesn’t show mercy
2. **Never go all-in** - Even with a strong signal, only use half of your funds
3. **Take profits and exit** - Double up and then leave, "a little more rise" can ruin many traders
4. **Trade only with isolated positions** - No cross-margin, no dragging orders, each decision independent

**Why is this approach effective**

Big coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum always present opportunities. The scarce resource isn’t the chance to double, but the ability to survive until the opportunity appears.

Now, use minimal losses to train three essential crypto survival skills: reflexive stop-loss, muscle memory for position sizing, and control over greed. These lessons must be learned sooner or later; it’s better to learn now with 1000U than pay tuition with hundreds of thousands.

The right way for small funds to turn the tables is this—embed discipline into your bones first, then talk about getting rich.

Well said, stop-loss is really the hardest part. I've personally lost quite a bit of money just because of "waiting a bit longer."

To be honest, this set of strategies sounds good, but less than one in ten people can actually stick to stop-loss. I've read the phrase "Stop-loss and cut" hundreds of times, yet some people are still waiting for a rebound...

Exactly right, but you really have to be able to hold it. Most people forget after reading it.

This logic indeed hits the mark, but execution is difficult... How many people go all-in the next day after reading it

actually the math doesn't check out here... 20% stop loss on 1-3x leverage? that's literally just liquidation with extra steps. seen this exact playbook collapse in 2021

Exactly right, the key is to stay alive; the greedy ones are all dead.

Honestly, a 20% stop loss is quite aggressive, but staying alive is the top priority. Without capital, everything else is pointless.

On-chain data shows that this set of logic is actually the underlying algorithm of compound interest... The discipline of stop-loss and position splitting execution is the truly scarce resource. Unsurprisingly, most people will fall behind at the "a little more increase" stage.
