🔶 How can small funds truly grow big? Sharing some of my "counterintuitive" real trading insights

In one sentence:
👉 For small funds to make a comeback, the core is not "stability," but "risk-reward ratio."

👉 I only do one thing: I don't go for small gains, I only bet on big opportunities.

Here are the live trading stats:
💰 Principal: 8000
⏳ Time: Half a year
📈 Current profit: 1.36 million
🚀 Highest profit: 1.47 million
🔥 Total return: 169x

This isn't showing off, it's verification:
The model works.

🟡 1️⃣ With small funds, you must learn to use leverage (but in stages)

What I use most often now:
👉 3–5x leverage
When I am extremely bullish and the risk-reward ratio is explosive:
👉 I’ll go up to 10x

But the point is:
✅ Small funds → you can be aggressive
✅ As funds grow → you must lower leverage
Otherwise, one extreme market move:
You’re instantly "back to zero."

——
🟡 2️⃣ Small funds are not suitable for the "1% stop-loss" strategy

To be honest:
If you only have a bit over 10,000 in principal,
and only dare to lose 1%–2% per trade,
then you’re just pretending to be a 100-million-level account.

A7, A8 level funds do this because:
👉 It's extremely hard for them to reset their capital
👉 A 50% drawdown could take years to recover

But you’re at A4–A5 level:
👉 You can afford to take a 30%–50% drawdown in one go
👉 To go for 5x, 10x returns

This is the most genuine high risk-reward trading.
Made a wrong call?
✅ Halved
✅ Back to zero

But the thing is:
👉 Deliver food for two months
👉 Work in a factory for two months
And your principal is back

For ordinary people, the least valuable thing is time cost.
——
🟡 3️⃣ For truly big opportunities, you must "burn your bridges"

Big market moves are:
❌ Rare
✅ But when they come, they’re life-changing

What I consider a "big opportunity":
👉 At least a 10%–20% trend move

When I see these opportunities, I will:
✅ Go all in
✅ Hit 30x, 50x directly
✅ If you’re right, you can make more than tenfold returns in one go

But note:
❗ Burning your bridges ≠ Waiting stupidly for liquidation
❗ If you’re wrong → cut losses
❗ If it doesn’t go as expected → stop loss immediately

You’re betting on probability, not your life.
——
🟡 4️⃣ Waiting for big opportunities is the harshest test of human nature

The hardest thing is never:
"How to buy"
But:
👉 How to resist buying impulsively.

I deliberately:
✅ Filter out intraday swings that are optional
✅ Don’t chase a 1 or 2-point rebound
✅ Don’t get involved in short-term emotional noise

Because:
🥵 Short-term trading makes you
✅ Narrower in perspective
✅ Only focusing on 1–2 points
✅ Unable to see the real big trend
——
🟡 5️⃣ The most fatal mistake for small funds: accumulating small gains

Many people lose like this:
👉 Grab 1 point here
👉 Grab 2 points there
👉 Thinking "time for space" will guarantee compounding

The reality is:
❌ The higher the trading frequency
❌ The greater the emotional drain
❌ One mistake wipes everything out

And I’m very clear:
I’m not one of those
"one-in-a-million short-term trading geniuses."
Chances are, you aren’t either.
——
🔚 The most important piece at the end:
For small funds, don’t go for stability,
Just go for "getting it right once."
Get it right once, and your cycle changes;
Grinding it out will just grind you down.

This logic
isn’t for "people who want to trade every day,"
It’s for:
🔥 Those who truly want to turn things around.
