Holding 5000 U: First learn to survive, then talk about making money
When you only have 5000 U in hand, the most important thing is not to rush to find opportunities, but to not let the market drive you crazy.

I have seen too many small investors enter the market, starting off with some calmness, but after staring at the K-line for just a few days, they get completely trapped.
When it rises, they feel they are gifted, born to be a trader;
When it falls, they immediately break down and doubt that they are not cut out for this.
When the market gets hot, their hands itch to trade;
When others share a profit screenshot, their minds get unsettled;
When the market slightly retraces, they can't sit still.
In the end, trading is not about making money; it’s clearly being led by the market.
What really causes small accounts to fail is not having little capital, but making random moves, being anxious, and always wanting to gamble.
5000 U simply can't withstand the emotional rollercoaster of staring at the market all day, nor can it handle aimless trading without a plan.
You think you are seizing opportunities, but in reality, you are just gradually giving your money back to the market.
Later, you will find that those who can slowly grow small amounts of money actually lead very 'boring' lives.
Not rushing, not chasing, not gambling,
When the market hasn't reached the point, stay in cash and wait; when the direction is unclear, be patient and hold.
Their trading shows no fancy moves, but the account balance quietly rises.
5000 U, neither too much nor too little,
Just enough for you to stabilize your mindset, practice timing, and thoroughly think through the matter of 'whether to take action'.
Once you can maintain your footing amid severe fluctuations, resist impulses in the face of temptation, and control your hands outside of your trading plan,
Money will naturally start to grow slowly.
In the end, what sets people apart is never the skills, but who can endure the most chaotic, difficult times when they most want to give up.
Don't rush to turn things around; first, learn not to be repeatedly pressed down by the market.
Those who can last until the end are the ones qualified to talk about results.
