Recently, there's been something quite interesting. A trader named Xiao X had only $1,000 in his account, and I gave him a simple method. He was skeptical but persisted for 20 days, and as a result, his account multiplied several times.



The core logic is actually just one sentence: don't put all your eggs in one basket, and don't go all-in with your entire net worth.

How did he divide it? Very simply—

**Short-term trading: allocate $500U**, at most two trades per day, cut losses quickly, no hesitation. **Trend trading: keep $300U**, this part is for catching big moves; if the weekly chart shows no upward trend, stay put. **Emergency reserve: $200U**, specifically for extreme situations; when it's time to liquidate, immediately add to the position to ensure you're still in the game.

You see, this isn't just about risk diversification. It's about saying: make small money with short-term trades, make big money with trend trading, but the premise is to stay alive. Liquidation is like amputation; a finger might grow back, but if your head is gone, the game is truly over.

Market volatility is like a meat grinder; most people will be crushed. How to survive? Remember these iron rules—

**1. If the daily moving average isn't bullish, don't touch it.** Wait for the signal.

**2. When volume breaks through previous highs and the daily close confirms it, that's the first entry opportunity.** Entering at this point greatly increases the success rate.

**3. Once floating profits reach 30% of the principal, take 50% of the profit immediately, and set a trailing stop-loss at 10% on the remaining.** This ensures profit-taking while leaving room for the market to continue rising.

Before entering a trade, be sure to write down your "life and death statement": set stop-loss at 5%, cut losses immediately when hit, no bargaining; when profit reaches 10%, move the stop-loss to break-even, and see how the market reacts from there.

Turning $1,000U into $10,000U depends not on some divine skill or prediction talent, but simply on **making fewer mistakes and surviving longer**. The market has opportunities every day, but your bullets are limited. True winners are never the fastest runners, but those who persist until the end.

Lock your emotions in a cage, follow the rules to play your cards. Study charts, indicators, wave theory—but only if you survive to see the next wave. Wealth in the market never belongs to the rich or the smart; it belongs to those who treat risk management as their lifeline.

Honestly, this set of logic is all about survival. Don't expect to become rich overnight. Turning 1000U into 10 times that sounds great, but the real key is that 200U emergency fund. How many people have gone broke just because they didn't have this safety net? I have deep experience with trailing stop-loss. I used to be greedy and didn't take profits in time, and all the profits I was about to make were wiped out. It took me a long time to get over that. The meat grinder analogy is perfect. The market eats people every day. Rules come first, technology second. Once you understand this thoroughly, you'll be less impulsive.

1000U multiply ten times? Ha, I've heard this saying too many times, but the key is how many people are actually willing to write down their life-and-death statement. That's right, staying alive is the hard truth, but I've seen too many people start with a well-divided position, only to go all-in when faced with the real meat grinder. This idea isn't wrong, but 99% of people will fail in execution. As for the saying that making big money depends on trends, I have to counter—most people's "trend" is just another way of saying chasing highs and selling lows. It's not that I don't believe, but I've seen too many stories of accounts going from 1000U back to zero. Risk management is the lifeline, but what's even more painful is that most people lack not a method, but the courage to cut losses in the most panic-stricken moment. Cutting losses is always the hardest; avoiding liquidation is the key to surviving and riding the next wave.

Really, not going all-in is the biggest winning strategy. ===== It's that same set of arguments that living is the most important, making money is secondary, but it really hits the mark. ===== Turning 1000U into 10 times relies on not doing stupid things. This sounds simple but is rarely achieved. ===== Set stop-loss at 5% and cut. It sounds easy, but actually testing human nature. ===== This method, in essence, is risk management. Why do most people still fail to do it? ===== Liquidation = amputation. That metaphor is perfect. Most people go down without even knowing how they died. ===== Position sizing is fundamental, but still, many go all-in and end up being crushed.

Living is more important than making money, and this statement is damn right. Turning 1000U into 10 times is easy to say, but the real test is the moment you execute a stop-loss. I just ask, how many people can take half of a 30% unrealized profit without greed? Short-term trading for small gains, trend trading for big gains, emergency funds for survival—these are simple yet profound logics. There are opportunities every day in the market, but your principal doesn't have an infinite life. Only when you understand this can you live long. Instead of saying technical analysis, just say one thing: don’t die.

There's nothing wrong with that; living is the hard truth, dying makes everything pointless. The key is that emergency reserve of 200U—that's the real thing for survival. It reminds me a bit of the foolish all-in move I made half a year ago; I'm still recovering from it. How should I allocate this 500U for short-term trading? Feels like two trades are easy to get caught off guard. This method sounds simple, but in practice, it's still easy to break discipline. It feels like the main message is: not being greedy is the first step to making money.

1000U multiplied by 10? Just listen, surviving is the real skill --- Honestly, this position-splitting logic has no flaws, but the execution difficulty is off the charts --- Here comes the story of cutting leeks again, does Xiao X really exist? --- Setting a stop loss at 5% sounds easy, but when you're truly losing money, you can't bear to cut it. That's original sin --- Wait, doubling in 20 days? Are you sure there's no leverage involved? --- Most people go bankrupt, and the stories of those who make money are the most numerous --- Still the same saying, living is a hundred times more important than making quick money --- I just want to know how this 1000U came about, is the principal clean or not --- Short-term 500, trend 300, reserve 200, seems reasonable but the market doesn't follow the rules --- The meat grinder metaphor is perfect, it means 95% of people are ground to pieces --- The daily moving average is bullish... when the market comes, this thing is just deceiving
