I don't have much money on hand, so I need to be more cautious. I've seen too many impatient people, and in the end, the market eats them all up.

I have a student who started with 800 yuan and grew it to 5800 yuan in 42 days. Throughout the process, there were no aggressive moves—just steady profits. Now, he's not only continuously profitable himself but also wants to bring his family into the game. Why? Because he has uncovered a secret—controlling the rhythm.

If you really only have around 1000 yuan in capital, I advise you to first settle down. Don't always think about getting rich overnight—that idea is the most harmful. The market's best trick is to give impatient people a little sweetness first, then swallow them whole.

Want to turn the tide with small funds? Then you need to rely on position control and rhythm. The method I teach that student is a four-step approach:

**Step 1: Divide into three parts and execute strictly**
Split the 800 yuan into three portions, only trade one-third of the first order. The remaining money acts like ballast—without clear signals, don’t touch it. No adding positions, no blindly bottom-fishing, no holding on to losses—these are all traps.

**Step 2: Only trade during high-probability moments**
Market oscillations? Avoid them directly. Wait until the trend is truly clear before acting. It’s okay if you don’t finish a trend in one go; divide it into segments and accumulate small wins gradually into bigger ones.

**Step 3: Let profits snowball, but don’t let stop-losses be hard to execute**
If the first trade earns 100 yuan, then for the second, take both the principal and the profit together. Gradually increase your position, but always within control. Truly, profits come from these small accumulations, not from gambling.

**Step 4: Take profits when the time is right, avoid greed and obsession**
If others are getting wiped out, we take profits in time. If others are chasing highs, we lock in gains early. Rebuilding positions is not the goal; staying steady, controlling risk, and being ruthless with stop-losses are key.

Many small-cap players’ biggest mistake is getting anxious when watching the market, opening trades recklessly, setting haphazard stop-losses, and wanting to recover losses—only to fall into a vicious cycle.

Honestly, trading is not about luck; it’s about rhythm. Small funds, because they don’t have much money, can actually survive longer and stay more stable. Want to turn things around? First, learn to keep yourself alive. Master the details of position division, timing, and rhythm control, and you’ll avoid two years of detours and save a lot of unnecessary losses.
