Many people believe that making money is directly linked to the scale of funds, but that's not the case. However, you have to admit that when your account has sufficient funds, your overall mindset is indeed different.



It's like a self-reinforcing cycle—steady mindset → more rational decisions → more precise operations → continuous profit growth → overwhelming confidence... Once this gear starts turning, the speed will only increase. Conversely, the opposite is also true: initial anxiety and fear can lead to frequent operational errors, losses accumulate continuously, the mindset worsens, and eventually, you fall into a vicious cycle.

Therefore, the true watershed is not how much starting capital you have, but whether you can cultivate the mental resilience that only comes when your account isn't yet substantial. This is the real moat for long-term profit.

This mindset and approach really hit the mark. Small investors are most easily driven by emotions, and one loss can lead to frantic overtrading. Basically, it's about mental resilience. No matter how much money you have, if your mind isn't steady, you can't do anything. I personally suffered heavy losses early on because I couldn't keep my composure. Now that I've recovered, I'm even more cautious—it's ironic. That analogy of the moat is perfect; that's really where the gap widens. The key is to endure the toughest period. Most people give up before their funds are substantial enough. Cultivating the right mindset is easier said than done, brother. It truly requires painful lessons. Mental toughness is hard to describe; you have to experience losses firsthand to truly understand. This logic is sound. I've seen too many wealthy people lose everything—it's really not about the money.

You're so right, mindset really can determine everything... I've experienced that vicious cycle before—frequent stop-losses, losing more and getting more anxious, and the more anxious, the more mistakes. It's like a nightmare. In the early stages with small funds, it's actually the best training ground. As long as your mind doesn't collapse, you've already won more than half the battle.

That's so true. Small accounts are actually the best opportunity to practice patience. Those who realize this early are making a killing.

That's right, mindset really can determine life or death. I used to be the kind of fool who started messing around with my account when it was small, and I still feel scared when I think about it. The key is to quit that sense of panic early, otherwise you'll always be punishing yourself. Once your mindset is stable, your hands will be steady too. I am now experiencing this cycle. Small funds can also cultivate a big mindset, which is the true moat. The initial hardship is indeed tough, but once you get through it, everything feels different.
