There's a good saying: turning 3500U into 500,000 isn't about some mysterious method; the key is whether you can stick with the entire process.
My deepest realization is: with small funds trading, the problem isn't whether you can trade, but whether you can avoid reckless actions. The entire strategy is divided into two clear stages. As long as you choose the right direction, your goals can be achieved.
**Stage One: Survival + Building a Solid Principal (1-3 months)**
The core of this stage is three rules: watch market hotspots and trade quickly in and out; strict stop-losses—admit mistakes immediately; profit when you have it, don't hesitate to close single positions. The goal isn't to become rich overnight but to steadily build a solid usable capital base, laying the foundation for future operations.
When funds reach over 6000U, the trading rhythm should adjust: short-term to capitalize on small fluctuations, medium-term to follow the trend, and wait until a major trend truly emerges before taking more positions.
**Stage Two: Shift from Frequent Trading to Compound Interest Mindset (1-4 years)**
Once funds reach the 100,000 level, the entire approach must change. The most important thing at this stage isn't daily trading but controlling your hands and seizing real big opportunities. My allocation strategy has three layers: 50% follow the major trend, 30% as long-term bottom holdings, and 20% reserved for sudden market shifts.
In the end, one sentence: skipping the accumulation phase means you’ll never see through the market. Many people get stuck at the start, not because the market is bad, but because they try to skip the accumulation step each time, ending up losing their principal. Stick to the process, and the market will give you real opportunities.

That's right, the key is to be patient and go through the entire process without thinking about skyrocketing overnight.
I have to admit this approach—small amounts are indeed most afraid of reckless tinkering; discipline is more important than anything.
Going from 3,500 to 500,000 sounds outrageous, but when broken down, it's actually the power of compound interest—nothing magical about it.
When the funds are small, it's actually an advantage—more flexibility. The only concern is accidentally making reckless moves.
Controlling oneself not to act is the hardest part. It sounds simple, but everyone wants to make quick gains every day.

That's right, you just have to get through the initial survival period; many people give up because they lack patience.

actually, the 50/30/20 allocation thing is theoretically sound but empirically most people blow through that 20% buffer within like two weeks lmao. the real bottleneck isn't the strategy—it's literally just discipline, which statistically speaking 94% of retail can't maintain past month three.

To be honest, sticking to this is easier to say than to do. Losing money two or three times in a month starts to shake your confidence.

Honestly, very few people can stick with it until the end; most start to get greedy right from the first stage.

ngl the gas fee optimization angle here is wild... watching people burn through their tiny stack on transaction costs while missing the actual accumulation thesis. like bro, you're counting gwei patterns but can't commit to the grind? that's the real inefficiency lol

It's really about whether you can get through the first few months. Many people give up because they don't want to accumulate during this period.
