#数字资产市场动态 How to trade with 1000U as a beginner without getting liquidated? Practical capital management rules for reference.
**Step 1: Diversify and stay away from all-in**
Don’t try to go all-in with 1000U at once. Split it into 5 parts. Use only 200U per trade. With 5x to 10x leverage, that’s enough to play.
Don’t be too greedy with your eyes. 50x leverage sounds like quick profit, but even a 2% fluctuation can make your hands tremble, leading to distorted operations and bigger losses. Put the remaining 800U into savings or cold storage and avoid touching it—this is your safety net.
**Step 2: Stop loss when losing, don’t add to positions**
If you lose 200U, don’t be tempted to add more. I used to do that in the past—keep adding, and eventually the hole gets bigger. The right approach is to stop and review thoroughly for 1-2 days. The market is always there; preserving your capital is the top priority. Adjust your mindset and split the remaining 800U into smaller parts, like 160U each, and start cautiously again.
**Step 3: Take profits and cash out**
When you make 500U, immediately transfer 300U to cold storage or a secure account, leaving only 200U in your trading account to continue. Holding real profits stabilizes your mindset. Don’t keep dreaming about floating gains—one big bearish candle can wipe it all out.
**Step 4: Set rules for yourself**
A daily loss exceeding 2% of your total capital is a warning signal—reflect on it. If losses reach 6%, close the software and go for a walk. Don’t tinker in front of the K-line. As soon as you make a profit, set a breakeven stop-loss immediately. Want to add when seeing profits? No, only add in two situations: one, pyramid-style scaling on already profitable trades; two, during obvious deep pullbacks. When floating profits exceed 200%, set a 40% retracement on half of your position to take profit, and keep the other half breakeven.
**Key points summary**: Starting with 300 to 500U is the safest, 5-10x leverage is just right, set a 100-200U stop-loss at entry, and use 30% profit retracement for take profit. Money grows gradually; it’s impossible to turn everything around with an all-in.

Well said, but what I fear most is being unable to execute, and seeing unrealized gains makes me want to chase.

No problem with what you said, I'm just worried that beginners might get itchy to go 50x before they've finished reading.

That's right, I didn't control my leverage well in the early days and ended up liquidating myself directly. Looking back, this method is truly a lesson learned through blood and tears. You need to stay calm to survive longer.

nah this position sizing framework is just basic portfolio rebalancing dressed up as degen wisdom... the actual edge here is the psychological discipline, not the numbers themselves
