Family, who understands?! Recently, the backend has been bombarded with questions: 'The market is so slow, I only have a few thousand, can I still enter the market?'
Don't be quick to call me a braggart. Last year at this time, I had 2000 yuan as starting capital, and when I opened the trading software, I only dared to look at half the screen (afraid that one wrong glance would lose my rent money). In the end, I rolled it to 60,000 in 48 days, a 30-fold increase! It wasn't luck; it was after falling down N times that I realized: with small capital entering the market, it’s not about 'gambling luck,' but about the ability to 'survive and roll the snowball!'
Aren't you all like this? With just three to five thousand in hand, I always feel like 'with little money, I have to take a gamble.' Going all in to chase the rise is like the aunties at the market fighting for discounted eggs, following the trends more eagerly than clocking in for work. And the result? In a volatile market, I ended up questioning life, stuck in losses while cursing 'market dogs,' and in the end, lost all my capital and blamed it on bad luck.
I also fell into this trap at first! I once went all in with 2000 yuan on a 'hot asset', and ended up losing 15% on the first day, panicking and checking the market 3 times at midnight, finally cutting losses and leaving with only 1300 yuan — that was when I realized: the nemesis of small funds is not the messy market, but 'greed' and 'inability to control positions'!
Today, I am sharing the core insights that helped me turn 1300 yuan around, all practical details that beginners can use directly.
Core logic: Don't gamble with the principal, use profits to 'roll'.
Many people think that small funds must take big risks to make big money — that's a big mistake! The first priority for small funds is 'to survive', and only then to 'make money'. My subsequent operational logic is super simple:
With 2000 yuan in principal, only move 25% (which is 500 yuan) to place orders, never touch the remaining principal;
As soon as I earn 8%, I immediately withdraw profits (if I earn 500 yuan, I take out 40 as 'backup funds'), leaving the principal inside as a 'safety cushion';
Set 'take-profit' and 'stop-loss' lines in advance for each order, don't be greedy when earning, and don't stubbornly hold on when losing — for example, set a stop-loss at 5%, cut losses directly when it hits, and never hope for a 'rebound to break even' (this is the easiest trap for beginners!).
While others hope for an overnight doubling, I only seek to earn tens or hundreds on each trade gradually, allowing profits to snowball over time so that positions can be loosened gradually. This 'snowball-style profit' is much more stable than wild ups and downs, at least I won't be awakened at midnight by market fluctuations.
Key operation: If the direction is wrong, escape quickly; if it's right, dare to hold.
Even in a messy market, there is a trend to follow; just like shopping in a crowded place, you can still find a less crowded path. When I placed orders at the 2000 yuan stage, it was just like hunting:
Never reach out if unsure! Better to wait 3 days empty-handed than blindly follow the trend (many people lose because of 'itchy hands');
Gradually increase positions if the trend is right, but only use 'earned profits' to do so, never touch the principal;
Wrong direction? Cut losses faster than anyone! I once lost 3%, but since I only moved a small position, it didn't affect the overall situation — in contrast, my friend lost 20% on a full position and panicked, cutting losses and losing the principal, and no matter how good the market was afterward, it had nothing to do with him.
Remember: small funds can't afford to 'stubbornly hold'; dare to admit mistakes and protect the principal, and you'll have another chance to make money.
Three-step rolling strategy: the core from 2000 to 60,000.
In 48 days, I multiplied my investment by 30 times, relying not on news but on this 'three-step rolling strategy', with friends around me making at least 3 times their investment. The hardest part is 'controlling' when to add positions and when to take profits; if you do this step well, you've already beaten 80% of the people.
Principal Protection Period (1-15 days): Only use 20%-25% of the position, withdraw profits at 5%-8%, set stop-loss at 5%, target: let profits cover one stop-loss cost (first, survive);
Profit Acceleration Period (16-35 days): Use cumulative profits to increase positions to 30%-40%, widen stop-loss to 8%, target: double the profits (using the money earned for greater returns);
Stable Mindset Period (36-48 days): Keep positions stable at 40%, maintain fixed ratios for take-profit and stop-loss, stay calm when earning and not panic when losing, target: let profits snowball (by this time, the principal is already safe, and the earnings are pure profit).
Many people can't learn it, not because the strategy is complex, but because they can't get over the 'greed barrier'. For example, during the profit acceleration period, they want to go all in after earning a bit, only to lose it all back; this is because they haven't grasped the core of 'using profits to play'.
