#数字资产市场动态 Recently, I’ve been asked a common question: I only have 1000 USDT, how can I gradually grow my principal step by step? Is there a reliable strategy?



Honestly, position scaling isn’t that mysterious. But don’t expect to turn things around just by luck and going all-in. The bottom line is three words: survive. Taking $YGG as an example, let’s talk about the most practical approach.

Suppose you start with 1000 USDT. The first stage, the most important thing is your mindset—stay grounded. Keep each single position between 200 and 300, and at most 500 if necessary. Why be so conservative? Because if you can’t even protect your principal, how can you talk about doubling? Surviving is the first hurdle.

Only do trades where you understand the rhythm. What does understanding mean? Knowing support levels, resistance levels, and stop-loss points clearly—no blind copying. One trade at a time, one win after another. Don’t expect to catch every big move perfectly.

Stop-loss must be set in advance. Don’t panic when the price drops suddenly. The simple rule is: limit each trade to a loss of 50 to 70 USDT, then cut your losses decisively. Even if you make several wrong calls, your account can still stay alive. As for take-profit, don’t be too greedy. Take what you can get. Small swings of 30 to 50 points are enough; for slightly larger moves, aim for 80 to 90 points and then exit. The mindset of constantly chasing double or triple returns every day will only lead to self-destruction.

When you reach 3000 USDT, that’s when you have the capital to add positions. Single trades can be increased to 800 to 1000, but risk exposure should still be kept at 3% to 5%. The logic is: during the small capital phase, focus on survival; during the medium phase, accelerate growth; during the large capital phase, protect your gains.

And remember this principle: every time your account doubles, take some profits off the table. For example, if you grow from 1000 USDT to 3000 USDT, withdraw 500 USDT and keep a base in your account. Even if there’s a retracement later, your psychology won’t be overwhelmed, and you won’t go to zero overnight. The same applies to coins like $IN.

Position scaling isn’t about speed; it’s about patience. If you stick to this rhythm and work honestly for 30 days, the results will be clear from your account’s curve.

Nonsense, the hardest part of stop-loss is actually executing it. Most people are just fooling themselves into waiting for a rebound.

It should be pointed out that the risk management framework presented in this article has a fundamental logical flaw—it takes "survival" as the primary goal but neglects the paradox of geometric growth in small account funds. Based on the mathematical model of the Kelly formula, you tell me that with a $1000U account, the risk per trade is capped at $50-70U; this logic was already debated by the community in 2017. The real issue is not the stop-loss position, but the fact that you simply cannot afford the cost of principal erosion... Gentlemen, listen to me. I have reviewed all historical cases of turning thousands into ten thousands, and without exception, they all violate this "conservative" doctrine. Clearly, the author of the article is using survivor bias to feed the retail investors some feel-good stories.

Honestly, 99% of people who start with 1000U and want to turn things around die because of their mindset. I used to be the same. The key is to stay alive and not dream of going all-in every day. The stop-profit and stop-loss strategies are well written. Take small profits at lower levels and then exit, don't be greedy. My biggest lesson is that even if you see the right direction, you often get stopped out by the last candlestick, and then you get cut in reverse. The hardest part for small accounts is execution. Sticking to 200-300 orders really tests human nature. But I might try this trick myself. Every time I double, I just take profits immediately. This psychological preparation really works; otherwise, if your mental account is wiped out, everything falls apart. After all this buildup, I just want to say: 90% of small investors still die chasing speed, while those with patience end up surviving.

Basically, it's about just surviving. Don't damn well think about going all-in and turning things around every day.

Alright, I just think this point is reliable no matter how I look at it... Really, being alive is better than anything else.
