After reading through the comments section, I’ve really gained a lot.

When it comes to high-frequency trading with small funds, the goal is actually pretty clear—it’s just to build up enough principal to play the long game. The logic does make sense.

In theory, high-frequency and long-term strategies can run in parallel without conflict, but what about in practice? Watching the market every day makes it easy to get dragged around by short-term fluctuations. That noise can mess with your judgment.

So once your account balance is sufficient, long-term positions are the way to go. Occasionally play around with a small trade using spare cash, but don’t turn yourself into a screen-watching machine.

Once your strategy is clear, your mindset will be steady too.
