Newcomers holding hundreds of U in the market are basically dreaming of tenfold or twentyfold returns—it's all about that dream. But what is the reality? Most people haven't even reached that moment before their principal is gradually eroded through repeated operations.

Many blame the market for being uncooperative, but the real issue is that they simply can't hold on. When their position is full, anxiety kicks in; when the market fluctuates, they get shaken out; try again, get shaken out again—after a few rounds, instead of making profits, they end up paying a lot of tuition fees.

The biggest trap for small funds isn't misjudging the direction, but losing control of that hand. Can't resist chasing hot topics, gambling on news, or obsessing over the precise entry point. And the result? A mental breakdown, increasingly chaotic operations, and finally, losing money.

If you want to succeed with small funds, the logic must be reversed. First, learn to be slow, learn to wait. Don't chase any hot topics, and don't gamble on news. Focus on one thing—has this trend formed?

While the trend is still brewing, the wisest choice is to stay out of the market. Wait until the structure is truly solid and trading volume catches up. Then follow the trend, but don't be too obsessed with precise entry points. Take what you need, exit when you should, and keep emotions out of trading.

When you make money, lock in a part of it first—this provides positive feedback for your account and stabilizes your mindset. Let the market test the rest; if it can't move, exit according to your rules. Don't expect miracles.

Stop-loss is actually the simplest: just look at the result, don't argue with yourself. If the price breaks below the support, admit defeat honestly—it's a misjudgment, nothing to be ashamed of. Missing out on profits isn't a loss; holding onto losing positions is the real loss.

This method may sound unexciting, and it's not suitable for those hoping to get rich overnight. But for small funds, survival is more important than anything else. Whether you can keep your money in the account—that's the real difference among traders.
