Recently, many people have been asking me: I only have 1000U, how can I steadily grow my account? Should I go all-in? Honestly, many people overcomplicate the idea of rolling over positions. The core logic is just three words: survive.
Let's start with the most basic scenario. If your account starts with only 1000U: in the initial stage, never risk more than 300U on a single position, ideally keep it within 200~300U. Why be so conservative? Because during the beginner phase, the most important thing is to learn how to protect your account, not rushing to double or triple it. Don’t blow up your account—that’s the first hurdle to clear.
The next key is to choose market conditions you can understand. What does it mean to understand? It means the market has clear support levels, distinct resistance levels, and stop-loss points you can set, not blindly copying others. Every trade should be about survival; don’t expect each order to capture all the market moves.
Stop-loss must be set in advance; don’t wait until the price drops sharply to panic. Limit each trade to losing no more than 50~70U, then close the position immediately. Even if you make a few wrong calls, your account won’t be wiped out.
What about take-profit? Don’t be greedy. Small swings of 30~50 points are enough, and for slightly larger moves, aim for 80~90 points. The mindset of trying to catch double or triple the gains every day is wrong; it will only trap you.
When your 1000U grows to 3000U, then you can consider increasing your position size. You might try 800~1000U, but only if you keep risk within 3%~5% of your account. In other words: in the small capital stage, the goal is to protect your life; in the medium scale stage, accelerate the pace; only when your account is large enough should you think about how to protect profits.
There’s also an important mental trick: every time your account doubles, take out a portion of the profit. For example, when your account grows from 1000U to 3000U, quickly withdraw 500U to lock in gains, and continue rolling the rest. What’s the benefit? Even if your account later experiences a drawdown, your mindset remains stable, and you won’t be wiped out by a single loss.
Ultimately, rolling over positions isn’t about risking everything; it’s about endurance. If you can honestly follow this approach consistently for 30 days, without asking others, your account curve will give you the answer itself.

nah, the real enemy ain't volatility—it's the sandwich attacks happening behind the scenes while you're out here playing by the rulebook. this whole "survive 30 days" thing? that's solid. but nobody's talking about how market makers are literally frontrunning retail positions the moment you hit buy. this dude gets the psychology right, but the dark forest isn't forgiving to the honest players.

That's right, the biggest fear is beginners going all in right away, only to regret when they get liquidated.
Survival is truly the top priority; greedy people have long been dead on the beach.
Setting stop-loss orders early is spot on; many people are just too soft-hearted.
The small-amount stage is just a practice period, don't think about turning the account around.
Taking a 50% profit is a smart move; it keeps your mindset much more stable.
Stick to the plan and execute honestly for 30 days; the curve won't lie.

Wake up everyone, going all in is suicide; there is no second option.

That's right, survival is the true principle. I have endured from 1000U to now, much better than any all-in gamble.
Hearing this makes me feel at ease, no fancy tricks, just stability.
I totally agree with the greed part; many people blow up because they want to instantly turn their fortunes around.
The move to take profits is brilliant; mental resilience is indeed important.
The all-in people are long gone; those who are still here are the survivors.

Well said, survival is the most important; otherwise, a single all-in will leave nothing behind.
