Last winter, a student named Xiaolin came to me with 1000U, saying 'if I can’t make money, I’ll quit the circle'. Now his account is fixed at 10230U, with no liquidation in the delivery orders, and the maximum drawdown not exceeding 8%. This is not luck, but ingraining 'discipline' into operations — using 200U as the vanguard, with 50x leverage as the blade, harvesting in ETH's volatility, completing in 60 days what others would take half a year.

Today we will break down this '1000U breakout plan', each stage accompanied by a quantifiable 'form' that can be followed. You will find that leverage is not a terrible monster, but an accelerator for those with strict discipline; and most people get liquidated not because leverage is too harsh, but because their hands are unmanageable.

I. First stage: 1000U → 3000U, high-frequency sniping to practice, 200U as bullets to earn 30U daily

Xiaolin's first operation drew two lines on the 4-hour K-line chart: support (previous low + 60-day moving average) and resistance (previous high + 20-day moving average). This is the core of high-frequency sniping — only pick up money in clear ranges.

1. Lock ETH, resist the 'shanzhai temptation'

Why choose ETH?

  • 4-hour cycle volatility pattern, at least 2-3 times a day with 5-10 points of swings (10 points = 1%)

  • Deep liquidity, open 200U position with 50x leverage, no slippage when closing

  • The liquidation price is far from the entry price (200U opened at 50x long, only liquidates after a 2% drop, allowing enough reaction time)

Xiaolin tried trading SOL on the first day, the volatility was too chaotic and he stopped 3 times, switched to ETH the next day, and it was smooth right away — newbies should practice with mainstream coins, just like learning to drive in a training car, stability is more important than speed.

2. 200U position + 50x leverage, profit 10 points per trade and run

Divide 1000U into 5 parts, each time only use 200U to open positions, leverage 50 times (actually controlling 10,000U position):

  • Enter long at support, enter short at resistance, set a 10-point take profit when entering (for example, enter long at 2000, take profit at 2020)

  • Set stop loss at 5 points (narrower than take profit, ensuring 'earn more, lose less')

  • Do a maximum of 3 trades per day, stop after 2 mistakes

Xiaolin's operation record on the 5th day:

  • 9:30 2010 long position, 2020 take profit → profit of 20U

  • 14:15 2025 short position, 2015 take profit → profit of 20U

  • 19:40 2018 long position, 2013 stop loss → loss of 10U

That day netted 30U, the account climbed from 1000U to 1030U. He said: 'I used to think about making 50U on one trade, now I find that making 30U every day accumulates to be ten times stronger than liquidation.'

3. The key to sprinting to 3000U in 10-14 days: 'only increase positions when the first position is profitable'

When a trade makes enough 10 points, you can add 100U to the position (total 300U), but it must meet:

  • Trend is consistent with the first position (for example, after a long position is profitable, the 4-hour chart is still rising)

  • The entry price should not exceed the initial entry price by 3 points (to avoid chasing highs)

On Xiaolin's 12th day, after making a profit on ETH long position, he added to the position, making a total profit of 80U, that day the account broke 1500U — adding to the position is a reward for profits, not a lifeline for losses.

II. Second stage: 3000U → 10,000U, seize swing opportunities, monitor two golden windows daily

When the account reached 3000U, Xiaolin began to reduce operations, focusing on only two time periods daily:

1. One hour before the US stock market opens (20:30-21:30)

When Wall Street funds enter the market, ETH often has a wave of 50-100 points of volatility (5%-10%). On the day the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, Xiaolin saw ETH drop below 2000 at 21:00, with a 4-hour bearish arrangement, opened a 600U short position with 50x leverage, and took profit at 1950 two hours later, making 600U from one trade.

2. The time when ETH on-chain data is released (such as upgrade announcements, large transfers)

Place orders 30 minutes before data release, long for good news and short for bad news. In February this year, when the ETH staking unlock data was released, Xiaolin placed a 2200 short order in advance, and after the data fell short of expectations, it dropped to 2100, making 600U — the volatility from news is often stronger than technical movements, but you have to ambush in advance, don’t chase after the news.

Iron rules of swing trading:

  • Increase position to 600U (20% of 3000U), maintain leverage at 50 times

  • Only trade in one direction (if the 4-hour moving average is bullish, only go long; if bearish, only go short)

  • Take profit set at 50-100 points (5%-10%), stop loss at 30 points (3%)

Xiaolin used this method to catch 3 major swings in 25 days, earning 800-1200U each time, and the account surged from 3000U to 9800U — high-frequency is the foundation, swings are the key to doubling.

III. Third stage: after reaching 10,000U, use the 'isolation strategy' to protect gains, don't let greed ruin everything

On the day the account broke 10,000U, Xiaolin's first task was to transfer 8000U to the spot account to buy BTC — this is the core of the 'isolation strategy': physically separate principal and profit, continue to play with 20% of profits.

1. Transfer 80% of funds to spot, keep 2000U for leverage

Split this 2000U into two parts:

  • 1000U focuses on daily chart swings, take profit at 5%-8%, reduce leverage to 20 times (reduce risk)

  • Keep 1000U for short-term trading, but operate on a different exchange (to avoid total liquidation if one platform has issues)

In March of this year, when a certain exchange cut off the network, Xiaolin only lost 50U due to separate operations, while someone in the group lost 50,000U on one platform — don't put all your eggs in one basket, especially with leveraged accounts.

2. Clear leverage before market close every day, don’t hold positions overnight

Regardless of profit or loss, close all leveraged positions before 23:00, keep spot overnight. Xiaolin said: 'I used to lose sleep holding positions overnight, now I clear them on time and sleep better than anyone.'

IV. Three disciplines to keep 1000U alive are more important than any strategy

1. Fill in the 'three elements form' before opening a position, otherwise do not move

Xiaolin set this form as his phone wallpaper, must be filled out before opening a position, now he can recite it with his eyes closed — discipline is not a slogan, it’s an executable form.

2. After two consecutive losses, mandatory 24-hour break

This is key to avoiding 'revenge trading'. On Xiaolin's 8th day, he had two consecutive stop losses, closed the software as per rules, and the next day found that market conditions were indeed chaotic, avoiding a bigger pit.

3. Use 'practice on a demo account for 3 days' instead of 'losing on a real account for 3 days'

Newbies should first practice this strategy on a demo account until they are profitable for 3 consecutive days, then try with a real account of 100U. Xiaolin practiced on a demo for 5 days and made 25U on the first day of live trading — sharpening the knife doesn’t delay the woodcutter, those who rush to the field are all 'chives'.

A harsh word for 1000U players

I've seen too many 1000U liquidations, it's not that they didn't have opportunities, but rather their hands couldn't control themselves:

  • Clearly set a stop loss, dropped 5 points and then removed it, thinking 'wait a little longer'

  • Agreed on a 200U position, saw the market go crazy and increased to 500U

  • Made 30U and got carried away, stayed up late trading and ended up losing everything

Xiaolin can reach 10,000U, not because he is smarter than anyone else, but because he has ingrained 'not allowed, cannot, must' into his bones. Leverage is like a gun, discipline is the safety catch; check the safety before pulling the trigger — the stricter you are with discipline, the gentler the account will be with you.

Next Monday I will start a '5000U leverage practical training camp', bringing 10 people to fill out the 'three elements form', monitoring the market for 2 hours daily. Those who want to turn their situation around through discipline can follow me — the distance from 5000U to 100,000U is not luck, but asking yourself one more question before each trade: 'Have I set take profit and stop loss? Is my position excessive?'

Remember: leverage is giving money to those with discipline, and a funeral to those without. You can decide which path to take right now.
