Have you ever wondered what traders who grow from 1,000 to 100,000 are doing? To put it simply, it's not luck that determines success, but disciplined execution.
The most testing phase is at the beginning. Starting with 200 to 300 USD for the first trade, keeping the position firmly at 20%, with a maximum loss limit of 20%—this is not being conservative, but a way to survive longer. When choosing trades, be selective. Abandon trades without clear entry logic, lacking support and resistance levels, or with unfavorable risk-reward ratios. It may sound like avoiding losses, but it's actually wise risk management.
Stop-loss is the baseline; individual trade losses should not exceed 10%-15% of the account. If a 1,000 USD account drops to 100-150 USD, cut losses immediately. No matter how promising the next idea, wait for the next trade. Overleveraging is a big taboo; if your mindset collapses, everything is pointless.
Take profits based on the situation. For small fluctuations, take 100-200 points and exit quickly. Only in a strong trend do you consider aiming for 800 to 1500 points. This way, you can seize opportunities without greed.
When the account reaches 3,000 USD, only then can you increase individual trade positions to 600-800 USD, while reducing the loss window to 5%-10%. Take profits each time your position doubles—this is the way to secure gains. When your mindset is stable, your account will be stable too.
Remember this core rhythm: Small money for survival, medium money to improve efficiency, large money to protect profits. Stick to this for 30 days, and your account curve will speak for itself. The market never deceives disciplined traders.

That's right, you just need to follow the rules, or your account will eventually get wiped out.

To be honest, small accounts just have to grind it out; there's no other way. I'm still holding onto 20% of my position, and mindset is the biggest capital.

You're absolutely right, it's all about execution. I was just too greedy, waiting for the perfect entry point, and as a result, I didn't catch a single trade, losing half of my capital. Now I'm sticking to a 20% position and fighting it out, hoping to survive these 30 days.

That's right, the only concern is that people's hearts are not ruthless enough. A 20% stop-loss line—how many people can't endure the first week and end up holding through a collapse?

It's easy to say but hard to do. Truly sticking to this discipline, only one in ten can manage it.

That's right, only by living longer can you earn more; otherwise, you would have been liquidated long ago.
