Is it really impossible to turn things around with a small principal? Not necessarily. I've seen someone turn 1500U into 45,000U in four months, without touching any contracts, no hundredfold leverage, just mechanically executing strategies. It might sound a bit dull, but this is precisely the secret to steady growth.
The first mistake many make is putting all their eggs in one basket. They are not the same.
**Diversify your funds to survive longer**
Split 1500U into three parts: 500U for intraday short-term trading, take profits at 3% and exit; another 500U waiting for trend opportunities, only act when there's at least 15% room; the last 500U frozen as emergency funds.
This isn't cowardice; it's survival skills. With so many fierce players in the market, why do they all end up blowing up? Because they lose everything in one go. Diversification is like installing bumpers on your account.
**70% of the time is spent waiting, not trading**
Range-bound markets dominate most of the time. The smartest move during these periods is to stay silent. Wait for a breakout, wait for a trend to emerge—that's the right time to enter. When profits reach 25%, consider reducing some positions to lock in gains, letting the rest run freely.
**Discipline is more important than you think**
These three ironclad rules are posted on the screen: limit single-loss to 2%, cut when reaching the line; take half profits at 5%, leave the rest to break even or stop-loss; never add to losing positions, averaging down accelerates blow-ups.
Over four months, the most frequent action is actually waiting. While others are tossed around by K-line chaos, you've already steadily moved forward; while others lose and try to double down, you've already safely exited the market.
For small funds to turn around, the key word isn't "aggressive," but "steady." Diversify to mitigate risk, seize profits from trends, and lock in gains with discipline. If a few hundred U's floating loss keeps you awake, and you panic at entry—it's not the market's problem, but your framework that hasn't been properly set up.
1500U can reach 45,000U, but the same 45,000U can also be wiped out overnight. The difference lies in whether you can truly stick to these seemingly simple rules.

Sounds good, but how many can really stick with it? Most people forget after reading.

It sounds perfect in theory, but how many people can truly maintain discipline? Most people start looking for all kinds of reasons to add to their positions as soon as they experience their first floating loss.

That's right, small investors are not without opportunities; it all depends on whether you can endure the boredom...
Listen, 30x in four months... this number sounds great, but most people get margin called in three days
The concept of position splitting is indeed excellent, but no one really manages to execute it
The most crucial sentence hit me — if you can't sleep due to floating losses, then don't play, really
Waiting is so torturous, but anyone who can stick with it has made a fortune
Don't add to your position — that's a harsh truth... I personally fell for this one
Discipline >>> Technique, it's an old saying but truly effective
From 1500 to 45,000 sounds intense, but zeroing out happens in an instant; reality is this harsh
