How to achieve steady growth with small capital is a question many beginners have.



Last year, I witnessed a case: starting with an initial capital of 1500U, it reached 45,200U in four months. This was not achieved by luck, but by strictly following three core principles.

**First: Position management, survive long enough to make money**

1500U cannot be invested all at once. Break it down like this:

500U for intraday trading, aiming for 3%-5% profit before stopping;
500U to follow the trend, only act if there is at least 15% room;
The remaining 500U is for risk management—protect your capital no matter what happens.

The purpose of position management is not to get rich quickly, but to keep the account alive longer.

**Second: Only participate in main upward waves, stay away from noise during idle times**

95% of the market time is just meaningless oscillation. Frequent trading during this period is basically contributing to trading fees.

Real opportunities appear when the trend clearly breaks out. Once entered, a 20% profit is not unusual. The key is: when floating gains reach 25%, cash out part of the position immediately, and set a break-even stop-loss on the remaining position to let profits run.

**Third: Discipline is the last line of defense**

Set a hard stop-loss of 2% on each trade; cut losses immediately when hit, without hesitation;
When profits exceed 5%, close half of the position to recover the principal;
Absolutely no adding to positions during a loss streak—averaging down is a dead end.

From 1500U to 45,200U, the entire process is based on the cyclical application of these three points: disciplined position management, precise trend judgment, and strict risk control.

Those who can stick to it are often not the smartest, but the most disciplined. When the market arrives, are you ready?

1500 to 45,000, this segmentation logic data is fine, but the real challenge is whether the liquidity depth is sufficient to support this stop-loss execution...

Relying on discipline is easier said than done. I think the key is really that safety net; you must hold onto it.

Positioning is really a fundamental skill; there's no way around it. Wait, 30 times in 4 months? How is this number calculated? I feel it's a bit suspicious. Discipline is definitely important, but saying that 95% of the market is volatile is too absolute. Sometimes you can also profit during volatility. A principal of 1500U is too small, with insufficient risk tolerance space. Even using this strategy, it's easy to be wiped out by a black swan. A 2% stop loss sounds simple, but when it comes to actually cutting, who isn't heartbroken? It sounds easy in theory.

Sounds good, but I still think most people can't do it, especially the part about capital preservation and stop-loss.
