The day before yesterday, a newcomer asked me: "I only have 1000U, how can I trade contracts without getting liquidated overnight?"

To be honest, this is a good question. The easiest way to lose 1000U is to play with a small amount of capital but with a big trader's mindset—treating 1000U as if it were 100,000U.

I have brought many people, and not a single one who survived relied on brute force to push through; what they relied on for survival are these two words: stability.

**Step 1, Divide the Position.** Split 1000U into 5 parts, entering the market with only 200U each time. It sounds simple, but most people cannot do it — they always think about going all in.

**Step 2, Light Leverage.** A leverage of 5-10 times is sufficient. Are you looking at those who open 50 times or 100 times? They are not trading at all; they are gambling and getting liquidated. A slight misdirection, and the account is gone. A 10% fluctuation in BTC is very common in a day; with 10 times leverage, a 10% misdirection means being out.

**Step Three, Don't Add to Your Position.** This is a pitfall I encountered in my early years. If you lose a position, just stop; never think about adding more to recover your losses. The market opens every day, and there will always be opportunities. Taking a moment to think clearly is more important than stubbornly fighting through to make the next trade.

**Step 4: Withdraw profits.** When you make 500U, transfer at least 300U to your wallet, leaving only 200U to continue trading. Do not keep all profits in your account; holding actual cash in hand will keep your mindset stable. Too many people are reluctant to withdraw when they see floating profits of several hundred U, and with a single downturn, they are back to square one.

**Be ruthless with stop losses.** If you lose 2% of your total funds in a day, you need to be alert; if you lose 6%, you should close the software and stop watching the market. Even experienced traders only have a win rate of 60%. The impressive part isn't making accurate judgments, but rather having a light position and being able to exit quickly.

**Operation of profitable positions.** First, secure the principal, then let the profits soar. Don’t go all in; money comes in slowly.

To survive with 1000U, just remember these 6 words: **low leverage, separate accounts, take profit**.

Those who truly survive in the market and can make a profit are always those who dare to reach out first but manage their risks well.
