If you have a small amount of capital, don't rush to exit the market. Staying steady is the first step.

There was a fan who is a perfect example—starting with 800 yuan, it took 42 days to grow to 45,000. Throughout the process, there was no overtrading, just steady, measured steps. You should know that if your principal is around a thousand yuan, the idea of "getting rich overnight" should be eliminated as soon as possible. The market's harshest aspect is that it turns those who are eager for quick profits into cash machines. It first gives you a small taste of success, then suddenly takes back your principal and profits altogether.

When this fan first started working with me, they only had 800 yuan. Now, not only are they consistently profitable, but they also plan to bring friends into the market. Simply put, they learned two words—rhythm.

For small funds aiming to turn around, the key is not to go all-in on a single trade, but to manage positions and control rhythm.

Their approach is very clear, with four steps:

**Step 1: Disciplined Position Sizing** Divide 800 yuan into three parts, using only one-third for the first trade. The remaining money acts like a stabilizer—do nothing without a clear signal. No adding to positions, no bottom-fishing aggressively, no forcing to hold through losses.

**Step 2: Wait for the trend, don’t chase the waves** Avoid choppy markets; only trade when the trend is clear. If a trend isn’t finished? Break it into segments. Enter in three phases, taking a bite each time, and eventually accumulate a big victory.

**Step 3: Let profits roll in, cut losses decisively** When the first trade earns 100 yuan, use that profit plus the original capital for the next trade. Gradually increase position size, but always stay in control. Remember, profits are made by rolling, not gambling.

**Step 4: Take profits when the time is right** We take profits early while others are getting wiped out; we exit before others chase the rally. Doubling your capital is a bonus, but the core competitive advantage is being able to stay steady, keep tight control, and make decisive decisions.

Many small fund traders face the biggest problem here—being more anxious than anyone else when watching the market, opening positions arbitrarily, setting stop-losses chaotically, losing more and more, falling into a vicious cycle. Trading isn’t about luck; it’s about understanding rhythm. Only then can you survive longer and earn steadily.

To turn things around, first learn to survive. Those details about position sizing, bottom-fishing timing, and rhythm control—these are the practical experiences that can help you avoid detours.
