Want to turn 100,000 into 1,000,000? The key isn’t how often you win, but making each profit grow like a rolling snowball.

Many people use this logic, progressing from a five-figure account to seven figures. There are only two secrets: having enough win rate as a foundation, but the real profit comes from the position scaling trick.

**First Iron Rule: Use Only 20% of Capital at a Time**

Suppose you have 100,000. Your first trade? Only invest 20,000. The remaining 80,000? Lock it up, don’t touch it.

Even if this 20,000 hits a 5% stop-loss and is wiped out (actual loss only 1,000), you still hold 80,000 in capital. When opportunities come, you have ammunition. Surviving is more important than anything.

**Position Scaling Tip: Keep Profits Separate**

Open a position with 20,000, and if you make 2,000? Transfer that 2,000 immediately into a "profit account," completely separate from the principal.

Next time you open a position, still use that 20,000.

When do you add to your position? When the profit account has accumulated 20,000 (the same as your initial capital). Only then can you raise your position size to 30,000.

Remember this: every time you add to your position, use profits. Losing doesn’t hurt your core, but profits let the snowball roll.

**What kind of numbers can you realistically achieve?**

Assuming a 15-day cycle, 75% win rate, and a 10% take profit per trade—

First 10 rounds: 20,000 principal earns 2,000 each time, profit pool grows to 20,000.

By the 30th round: principal has increased to 70,000, and the profit pool has already reached 50,000, with each trade earning 7,000.

Numbers speak for themselves. Slow is fast.

This method is counterintuitive because it limits greed: profits don’t inflate, losses aren’t fatal, and profits are always used for trial and error.

If you’re swinging between big wins and blow-ups, maybe it’s time to try a different framework. Either keep relying on intuition recklessly or let the system make decisions for you.
