Market fluctuations often lead small fund players to ask: In this kind of market, can I still enter the market?



Speaking of which, I’ve also experienced days when I only had 2000U and had to look at half the screen when trading futures, fearing that a single misjudgment would wipe me out. But in the end, that 2000U grew to 42,000U, a 21-fold increase — this isn’t luck, but because I later mastered a systematic approach.

Initially, like most people, I chased rallies with full positions and followed hot trends, only to be repeatedly shaken out and lose confidence. After falling several times, I realized: making money in trading isn’t about luck, but about position control and rhythm management.

**Level One: The Logic of Compound Growth and Position Rolling**

Starting with 2000U, I only used 25% of my capital for the first trade. When I gained 8%, I immediately locked in profits — taking the profit out to make the next trade, keeping the principal safe at all times. Every trade was pre-set with stop-loss and take-profit levels, no greed, no delays. While others aimed for overnight doubling, I pursued steady gains from each trade. Gradually, profits accumulated, and I gradually increased my position size. This "snowball" growth method is much more reliable.

**Level Two: Quick Stop-Loss and Trend Following**

Markets fluctuate, but trends can be leveraged. My approach is like hunting — I don’t act unless I see the right opportunity. Once I identify the correct direction, I gradually add to my position, letting profits extend. If the trend is wrong? No hesitation — stop-loss is faster than anyone, never waiting for a "rebound to break even." Many lose because they fear small losses; I win because I dare to admit mistakes and protect my capital, which creates more opportunities.

**Level Three: Strategy-Driven 48-Day Transformation**

From 2000U to 42,000U, it took me 48 days. No all-in bets, no following news hype — only position planning and rhythm control. Behind this is a "Three-Stage Rolling Position Strategy":

1. **Capital Protection Phase** — Focus on stability in the early stage, protect the principal
2. **Profit Acceleration Phase** — Use early gains to gradually increase position size
3. **Stable Mindset Phase** — After reaching profit goals, maintain rationality

Many people around me follow this framework and most achieve several times their initial capital. But the hardest part is "control" — when to add to your position, when to take profits and exit. Most people stumble at this step.

Small funds are not a disadvantage; the key is the method. As long as you have a clear mindset and disciplined execution, you could be the next to profit from the next market cycle.

Oh wow, 2000U multiplied by 21 times... Easy to say, but once you get into the actual operation, you'll realize how high the difficulty ceiling really is.

Sounds good, but I tried this set with 2000U, and I still got trapped. Maybe my execution ability is the problem, haha.

Ha, it's the same old script... I just want to ask, how did you get through those 48 days? Did you really not sleep at all?

Sounds very familiar, but to be honest, most people can't stick to this logic at all, especially when they see prices going up.

That's right, it's just that I get "controlled" at this step. Damn it, every time I make a little profit, I want to go all in, and then I lose everything in one move.

In plain terms, it requires discipline; most people fail at the greed hurdle.
