Many friends ask me how I did it — using a principal of one thousand dollars to gradually grow to today's scale. To be honest, I have stepped on many pits along this path, but I also found my own methodology from failures.

At the time of decision-making, I was very firm, exchanging seven thousand yuan for 1000U as a bet. But I didn't go all-in at once; instead, I tested the waters with 200U, only chasing the most popular coins at the time. When I made a profit, I sold immediately; if the loss exceeded 50U, I cut my losses decisively. After winning several rounds, the principal started to expand, and the account gradually became more substantial.

The biggest test is actually not in trading itself — but in suppressing greed. Every time I earned more than a thousand, I would force myself to stop, rest for a whole day, and prevent my mentality from being overwhelmed by profits.

Later, after the account stabilized, I began to diversify my strategy:

Short-term positions are responsible for quick profits; when I have money, I leave; I never fight battles; dollar-cost averaging positions are executed mechanically, completely ignoring market noise, only focusing on the big trend; I also reserve some ammunition, only taking action during major market eruptions.

Before each order, I always pre-write the take-profit and stop-loss levels. This is not restraint, but a mental lock. Trading without a plan often leads to falling into pits due to feelings.

Contracts are like a double-edged sword; they can amplify your judgment infinitely — whether right or wrong. When unprepared, even small mistakes can cause losses to double.

I have always followed four unchanging principles:

The first, never fully leverage, to disperse risk; the second, each trade must set a stop-loss, keeping losses within controllable limits; the third, open no more than three orders per day, aiming for focus rather than chaos; the fourth, take profits and withdraw immediately, so that the fruits of victory do not turn into bubbles during retracement.

I have seen too many people use luck to earn money, only to give it all back to the market in the end. The secret to my journey from 1000U to now is actually one thing — being ruthless to the market and even more ruthless to myself.
