$BEAT Many people ask me:
"With just over 1000 U, can it still grow?"
$PIPPIN My answer is usually not given immediately, because some things may sound hard to accept.
The problem is not the small amount of funds, but rather your eagerness to earn.
$ZEC I once accompanied a friend who started with 1500 U, and after more than four months, the account grew to over 40,000. Throughout the process, there were no contract trades, no heavy positions, and absolutely no risky operations. The entire process, while unremarkable, was the most stable.
From the beginning, I made him diversify his funds. The goal was not to earn a lot, but to avoid getting “liquidated” with a single mistake.
A portion of the funds was used for short-term trading, earning a little and then leaving, never getting greedy;
Another portion waited to enter the market only after confirming the trend;
The remaining part was left untouched, completely not participating in the market's heat.
He told me that the most important gain was not doubling the funds, but stabilizing his mindset.
He learned to control himself, not letting a single failure lead to significant losses. The real breakthrough was that he learned to "close the software."
During sideways fluctuations, while most people frequently entered and exited, he chose not to participate until the market clearly established direction and trend before slowly entering.
After making money, he would not rush to "show off" his operations, but would first withdraw a portion of the profits, letting the market decide what to do with the rest. This way, regardless of how the subsequent market behaves, he was already in a safe zone.
Turning small funds around is not about rushing in, but about whether you can survive long enough to wait for the opportunities that truly belong to you in the market.
Many people incur losses not because there are few opportunities, but because they can't resist entering the market with every fluctuation, treating every correction as a reason to “make up for losses.”
If you are currently losing sleep over fluctuations of a few hundred U, that is not the market targeting you, but rather that you have not adjusted your trading rhythm.
Remember, when the funds are small, you must first learn to slow down.
Those who slow down can actually go further.
As for whether you can go for a longer time, it depends on whether you can consistently implement those simple yet crucial rules.
