When you only have five thousand U,
the key is often not to look for opportunities,
but to first control your heart that is easily swayed by the market. $PIPPIN
I have seen too many traders with small funds,
initially full of confidence,
only to feel they have grasped the rhythm after looking at a few candlesticks—when it rises, they feel they are gifted,
and when it falls, their mindset immediately becomes unbalanced.
When the market heats up, their hands itches;
when others show their profits, their hearts become restless; with even a slight fluctuation in the market, they can’t sit still.
In the end, trading is no longer about making profits,
but rather a repetitive action driven by emotions.
What truly causes an account to shrink rapidly is never a low starting point,
but rather losing control of emotions, chaotic plans, and always wanting to gamble for a comeback.
Five thousand U simply cannot withstand the exhaustion from watching the market all day without a plan.
You might think you’re actively capturing opportunities, but in reality, you may just be unconsciously consuming your principal.
Those who can truly steadily grow small funds often have strategies that seem very "mundane."
They do not blindly chase hot trends, wait in cash when the market is unclear, and act decisively only when the direction is clear.
Their operations may seem simple, but their accounts steadily grow without them even realizing it.
Five thousand U is not much, but it is enough for you to cultivate a calm mindset and a stable trading rhythm.
When you can remain calm amid fluctuations, restrain impulsiveness before temptations, and strictly execute your plans, growth will naturally follow.
Ultimately, what often determines the difference is not the level of technical skills,
but who can better manage their emotions, and who can persist in the most anxious and tempting moments.
Stop always thinking about a quick turnaround; first, learn to survive steadily in the market. Only those who can stay in the market continuously have the qualifications to discuss future gains.
