What is the most common mistake when you have limited funds? Urgent.

I know a trader who started with only 800U. Over two months, his account balance steadily grew to 45,000, and he never panicked during the entire process. How did he do it? The answer might disappoint you—it's not through a surge of explosive growth, but by taking steady bites of meat.

For friends with less than 1000U capital, I have to be honest: don't dream of getting rich overnight. The market is like a hunter, specifically targeting those who seek quick profits. The method is simple—first give you some sweet rewards so you taste the feeling of making money, then swallow your principal and profits all at once. This kind of thing happens every day.

What is that trader doing now? Not only does he make steady daily profits himself, but he also plans to bring his family into the market. His secret to success is only two words: rhythm.

Turning small funds around never relies on full margin all-in bets. The real trick is controlling position size and pacing yourself. I summarize his approach into four steps:

**Step 1: Three-stage position splitting, discipline above all**

Divide 800U into three parts. Invest only one-third of the funds in the first trade, while the remaining two-thirds stay as a safety net. Without a clear signal, stay firm—no adding positions, no chasing dips, no stubbornly holding through losses. Many people can't do this; they see market fluctuations and get itchy, often ending up losing more.

**Step 2: Only take high-probability opportunities**

Avoid trading during choppy markets; wait until the trend is clear before acting. Don't greedily try to catch the entire move in a big trend—split it into three parts. The benefit of this approach is high stability. Small wins accumulate into big wins. It may sound slow, but this is actually the way to survive the longest.

**Step 3: Let profits roll in, set stop-losses like iron**

If the first trade earns 100U, then use the original principal plus that 100U profit for the second trade. This way, your position gradually increases but remains within controllable limits. Remember: profits are rolled in, not gambled out. Once you set a stop-loss, stick to it—it's the last line of defense to protect your principal.

**Step 4: Take profits when the time is right, don’t chase**

When others are getting wiped out, you've already taken profits. When others are still chasing highs, you've already secured your gains. Doubling your account is just a bonus; the core goal is to stay steady, control well, and cut losses decisively.

Why do many small-cap players always fail? Common issues are rushing to watch the charts, opening trades chaotically, and improper stop-loss settings. The more they lose, the more anxious they become; the more anxious, the more likely they are to make wrong decisions, falling into a vicious cycle. In fact, trading isn’t about luck; it’s about mastering rhythm. With small funds, only by learning to control yourself can you survive longer and earn steadily.

To turn things around, first learn to survive. The details of position splitting, entry points, and rhythm control—these seemingly ordinary things—are the real secrets to avoiding two years of detours.
