The current market is like wandering through a vegetable market. With this little money of mine, will it just disappear without even making a splash?
This week at least 30 fans in the backend asked this question, and every time I see it, I can't help but laugh. Isn't this just me three years ago? Back then, I was clutching 2000 units of capital, my hands trembling as I opened the trading interface, only daring to look at half the screen of the contract K-line, fearing that if I wasn't careful, the market would press me to the ground and directly wipe out this last bit of savings.
Who could have imagined that with such a small amount of 'starting capital', it would roll to 42000 in 48 days, a 21-fold increase? It wasn't just my luck that I hit the trend; rather, after countless falls, I figured out that for small capital to survive and thrive in a chaotic market, it has never relied on following the crowd but rather engraving the word 'stability' into its bones.
To be honest, I started off more recklessly than anyone else. When others said a certain hot stock would rise, I bought in heavily; when I saw the K-line rising, I chased after it without blinking. Looking back now, my actions at that time were no different from throwing money with my eyes closed. In a volatile market, I sold at the lowest point; just after I sold, it rebounded, and I rushed back in only to get trapped again. After going back and forth for half a month, my capital shrank by thirty percent, and I was so angry I almost threw my phone.
Only after painful reflection did I realize that the core advantage of small funds has never been 'making quick money', but rather 'flexibility and control'. Utilizing this advantage thoroughly is what allows one to be a hunter in the market rather than a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. The practical experience I’ve summarized over these three years, I’m sharing it all with you today, especially suitable for friends with a capital of 5000 or less.
First tactic: use 'profits to roll a snowball', don’t treat capital as a gamble.
Many people think as soon as they enter the market, 'I’ll make back my money in one go' or 'double my money overnight.' This mindset is fundamentally wrong. The biggest taboo for small funds is 'all in'; your little capital simply cannot withstand a single mistake. My later recovery relied on the logic of 'profit rolling positions'—simply put, using the market's money to make money from the market, treating my own capital as a 'safety cushion'.
When I had 2000 capital, I set strict rules for myself: each trade would only move 25% of the position, which is 500 units. No matter how 'stable' the market looked, I would never increase my position; as soon as I made 8%, I would immediately lock in profits, withdrawing the earnings as new trading funds while keeping the capital untouched in the account.
For example, if I made 40 from an initial investment of 500, I would take that 40 out, and for the next trade, I would only use that 40 plus a new 25% position. The original 2000 capital always stays in the account. This way, even if the new trade incurs a loss, it’s only on the money earned, and the capital remains untouched. I set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance for each trade, executing them at the right time. I never get greedy because I 'feel it can still rise,' nor do I delay because I 'fear losses' until I am trapped.
While others are busy chasing highs and cutting losses like a spinning top, I only make one or two steady trades a day, slowly accumulating more and more profits, and my available position grows larger. This 'snowball' type of profit may be slow, but each step is solid, providing far more peace of mind compared to the excitement of wild market fluctuations.
Second tactic: recognizing mistakes must be quicker than turning against someone, and taking positions must be steadier than greed.
Small funds die quickly, mostly because of 'holding on stubbornly'. I've seen too many people comfort themselves by saying 'wait a little longer, it will definitely rebound' when the direction is wrong, only to get deeper into losses. In contrast, when the direction is right, they panic after making a small profit and rush to close the position, watching the larger market opportunity slip away.
The logic of my operations during the 2000 capital stage is particularly simple: trade like hunting. Until I find a clear trend, no matter how others shout, I resolutely do not act. I watch the K-line and indicators, no matter how long it takes; once I catch a clear trend, I gradually increase my position, letting profits follow the trend, and I never let go until I reach the take-profit point.
But if I find the direction is wrong, I stop-loss faster than anyone else. Once, when I was in a long position, the market started to drop immediately after I entered; seeing it about to hit the stop-loss line, someone next to me said, 'Wait a little longer, it might just be a false dip.' I didn't hesitate at all and closed the position directly. Although I lost a few hundred, compared to the extent of the drop that followed, this loss was nothing.
Remember: the core of small funds is 'survival'. Only by protecting the capital can one wait for the next wave of the market. Being willing to recognize mistakes and not holding on stubbornly is the most basic yet difficult discipline in trading.
Third tactic: three-stage rolling position strategy, the progression from novice to steady trader.
From 2000 to 42,000, I didn’t operate blindly; I walked step by step relying on a set of 'three-stage rolling position strategies'. Many fans around me have followed this method and most have achieved 3-5 times their profits. Today, I’m sharing the framework with everyone, but the specific details need to be adjusted according to market conditions. You can use this as a reference:
The first stage is the capital protection period, which lasts about 1-2 weeks. During this stage, the position must not exceed 30%. The goal is not to make money but to familiarize oneself with the market and refine trading operations. Even if each trade only makes 3-5%, that’s okay; the focus is on developing the discipline of stop-loss and take-profit, cultivating the habit of being steady.
The second stage is the profit acceleration period. When profits reach over 50% of the capital, one can enter this stage. At this point, the position can be loosened to 40-50%, using the previously accumulated profits to expand operations, but still adhering to the principle of 'profit rolling on profit', without touching the capital. This stage is key to making money; one must learn to catch trends and let profits extend fully.
The third stage is the mindset stabilization period. When the capital reaches over three times the original amount, one enters this stage. At this point, the position can stabilize around 50%, and the focus is no longer on chasing high returns, but on maintaining a stable profit rhythm, avoiding greed due to increased capital, and not losing composure due to occasional losses.
This strategy looks simple, but the hardest part is 'controlling' when to increase the position, when to take profits, and when to rest. These all need to be judged in conjunction with market conditions and one’s own situation. Many people fail because they 'can’t resist'—either they increase the position too early or they get greedy when they should take profit, ultimately giving back the profits.
Someone asked how this strategy specifically applies to daily operations. For example, how to set stop-loss and take-profit lines under different market conditions, and how to adjust positions. These details cannot be discussed in depth on public platforms, as I fear that without fully understanding the logic, people might misuse it and end up losing money.
If you really want to understand and know how to roll from 2000 capital to 42,000 step by step, and want to get the operation details that fit the current market, just call me 'Rolling Position Strategy' in the backend, and I will send you the detailed thoughts and practical cases I’ve organized.
Finally, I want to say that although the current market is chaotic, it’s actually an opportunity for small funds. Large funds find it hard to turn around, but we small funds are flexible. As long as we catch the rhythm, even if we only make a little each time, we can slowly accumulate and roll into a big snowball.
