The less cash you have, the faster you’re gonna get wrecked. Don’t think the market is against you; it’s just you digging your own grave.
If you’re only holding a few hundred or a couple thousand bucks and you’re not thinking about scaling in slowly, but instead dreaming of that quick double-up, you’re in for a rude awakening. Just a slight pump and you feel like a pro, but a small dip has you panicking and chasing losses. That’s not trading; that’s straight-up gambling.
Last year, someone hit me up with just 900U left, and while he was reluctant and clueless, he wanted to go all-in to recoup his losses. I straight-up told him: stop thinking about making money first; focus on not getting wrecked.
I didn’t teach him any fancy techniques or let him use high leverage; instead, I had him split that 900U into three parts. One part for scalping; if you make a profit, cash out, don’t get greedy. Another part to hold and only trade when you’re certain of the move; don’t follow the herd. The last part? That’s your survival fund—don’t touch it.
Many think this is too slow, but here’s my stance: this approach is to keep the market from wiping you out in one go. Also, you gotta control your impulses—80% of market moves aren’t worth touching. The rookie mistake is wanting to trade everything; ranging markets, choppy moves—just leads to bigger losses. I told him to remember this: if you’re not confident, don’t place a trade.
Execution is crucial. If you’re in the red, cut your losses; don’t hang on. If you’re in profit, take some off the table; don’t use it to cover losses. The market feeds on those who lose and still think, 'Maybe it’ll bounce back if I just wait.'
He toughened it out for three months, turning 900U into 12K, and by the fifth month, he hit over 30K. He told me something that stuck: 'I used to chase opportunities everywhere; now I just wait for them to come to me.'
Newbies are the most impatient, while veterans can ride it out. There are plenty of opportunities in this market, but not many survive. As long as your account is intact, there’s still a chance; if you’re constantly looking for that one massive comeback, it won’t matter how bullish the market is for you.
