Many people ask how small capital can achieve growth curves. To be honest, the methods are not that mysterious; the real challenge is whether you can take the rules seriously over the long term.



I once knew a trading buddy who started with just 1500U. Throughout the process, he avoided high leverage and was never swayed by market sentiment, gradually growing his account to 45,000U in four months. It may seem dull and monotonous, but the results speak for themselves. He managed to do it with these three core strategies:

**Divide first, then act.** He split the 1500U into three parts. The first part was used for short-term trades, taking profits when the expected gains appeared; the second part waited for opportunities, not making moves if the direction wasn’t clear; the third part was frozen, untouched by even large market fluctuations. This isn’t conservative—quite the opposite, dividing the capital acts as an emergency brake for the account, so a single mistake doesn’t wipe it out.

**Only trade confirmed trends.** When the market is oscillating without a clear direction, he exits and closes the software to avoid impulsive trades. Honestly, most trading days don’t present particularly good opportunities. The real chance to strike is when a certain coin breaks through a key level and then follows through with a rally. Once the price gains enough, he sells half to lock in profits, and uses a smaller position to test if there’s further room for growth.

**Discipline beats any feeling.** When losses hit the stop-loss level, he cuts immediately without hesitation; when he profits, he gradually reduces his position instead of greedily adding more; he never adds to losing positions—averaging down only deepens the trap. During this period, his most frequent action isn’t entering trades but waiting—while others get repeatedly cut in oscillations, he quietly observes; when others are still holding on in high spirits, he’s already cut losses and exited.

For small capital aiming to double or more, the key isn’t who has the bigger guts, but who can truly stay calm. Stick to your trading framework, and your funds will naturally grow step by step. Once discipline loosens, even the strongest account can collapse in an instant.

To be honest, I really agree with this logic, especially the idea of partitioning positions — you definitely need a braking mechanism, or else you'll be waiting for a margin call with every big move.

That's right, discipline is the lifeline. I initially thought about going all-in, but I almost got buried before realizing that waiting for better odds and taking calculated risks is more profitable.

That's right, but execution is really the hardest part. Seemingly simple rules become a mess once in actual practice, and I feel like my fingers are about to break from pressing so much.

To be honest, I've heard this set of advice too many times: dividing positions, stop-loss, not adding to losing positions. It sounds reasonable, but how many people can really stick to it? The people I know all initially swear by discipline, but as soon as the market slightly moves, they start changing their tune and insist on adding more. This guy is indeed impressive—turning 1500U into 45,000U in four months. But to be blunt, a lot of luck must have played a role, right? No one talks about those accounts that blew up.

Exactly, that's the point. The key is discipline. I've seen too many people get overexcited and leverage up as soon as there's profit, only to end up losing everything. The strategy of dividing positions is indeed brilliant, it reminds me of the times I was reckless before... Now I'm adjusting according to this framework, and I feel much more comfortable.

Basically, it's about being immovable like a mountain. This guy's core trait is patience.

That's right, discipline is the hardest thing to maintain. I've seen many people plan very well at the start, but break their rules in just two weeks... If you ask me, the coolest thing about that guy isn't how much he made, but that he didn't touch high leverage even once in four months. That's impressive.
