Many investors when starting with a small capital, for example 1000U, often fall into two situations: either using too high leverage and losing everything, or being too cautious and missing opportunities. In reality, with a reasonable method, small capital can still grow into a large amount, with the only core principle: stability.
1. Do not rush when starting
With a capital of 1000U, the first step is to only use 500U for trading, with a leverage of about 20 times.
Stop-loss: 20% of trading capital (maximum loss of 100U).
Take-profit: 100% (if prediction is correct, profit of 500U).
Thus, the risk/reward ratio reaches 1:5. One mistake can still be compensated if there is a successful trade. This helps reduce psychological pressure and maintain discipline.
2. Multiply capital according to rhythm.
The rhythm trading method helps avoid speed racing while still growing effectively:
1000U → 2000U → 4000U → 8000U.
Just three consecutive correct trades can multiply the capital by 8 times. The principle is to prioritize accuracy over speed.
3. Diversify according to the ladder method.
As capital increases, risks need to be divided and trading volume adjusted.
Capital 8000U: only trade 1000U each time, keep 8 opportunities for mistakes.
Capital 20,000U: increase trading volume to 2000U, target 100,000U.
Capital 100,000U: trade 5000U each time, proceed steadily, do not rush.
This method helps protect capital and leverage the advantage of compound interest.
4. Strictly control risk.
Before reaching 100,000U, each position must be independent in risk, adhering to stop-loss and take-profit like a machine, without hesitation.
After exceeding 100,000U, consider increasing the trading volume, but the total maximum risk should not exceed 2% of the capital.
5. Three principles not to violate.
Never invest all capital: if liquidated, all capital will be lost.
Do not delay in cutting losses: holding losing positions will lead to significant losses.
Compound interest requires patience: rushing to double can easily lead to failure.
Conclusion.
With an initial 1000U, combining reasonable diversification + strict discipline, a small capital can still grow into a large amount. There is no need to rush; stability is the fastest path to increase assets.
