Have you noticed that the people with less money in their accounts are the ones who are more likely to fantasize about getting rich overnight?


I’ve seen it way too many times.
Those with 500U want to double it, while those with 5000U want to turn it into 50,000 in a month.
So what happens? Before the opportunity even shows up, their principal is gone.
Over the years, I’ve watched countless accounts get wiped out.
The 500U wiped out, the 5000U wiped out—the problems are almost always the same.
Big position sizes, refusing to let go of bad trades, and not setting stop-losses.
Make a little profit and run, but if you lose, you dead-hold it.
In the end, the account keeps getting smaller and smaller, and then they start blaming the market.
But the problem was never the market.
When you’re under 5000U, the most important thing isn’t how much you make.
It’s to not get yourself killed—first.
If there’s an opportunity, act; if there isn’t, wait.
Don’t treat trading every day as “working hard.”
Most of the time, doing less is better than doing something random. $NVDAB
One more point is especially critical: don’t keep thinking about getting back to even.
Once you start “thinking about getting back to even,” your actions get distorted.
Your position gets heavier, and your judgment gets more rushed.
When you should stop out, you don’t—so you only lose more and more deeply.
The real advantage of small capital is flexibility, not gambling your life.
If the direction is wrong, back off; if it’s right, then slowly add.
Don’t underestimate every small profit.
Going from 5000U to 50,000U doesn’t happen by going all-in.
It’s about building up slowly, one trade at a time.
The last line is painfully realistic.
If you’re under 5000U, don’t rush to make a comeback.
First, learn how not to get knocked out.
As long as you’re still in the game, opportunities will always be there.

After reading it, I feel much calmer. First survive, there will always be opportunities. I won't chase this wave of $NVDAB either.

The biggest advantage of small capital is indeed flexibility—a small boat can turn easily—but many people insist on ramming their small boat into an iceberg.
