Many people enter the trading market with dreams of getting rich overnight. But honestly, making steady profits is much more practical than those vague fantasies of sudden wealth.

I once mentored a fan whose initial account balance was just 900 U. Guess what? In only 45 days, this account grew to 45,000 U. Throughout the process, he didn’t gamble wildly or make impulsive decisions; he simply followed a steady, step-by-step approach to grasp the market.

Many small fund traders just starting out have around a thousand U in their accounts, yet they always dream of multiplying their money ten or twenty times. But what happens? The market first gives you a little taste of victory, then suddenly swallows your principal and profits together. This fan also started with small funds, but now he not only profits steadily himself but also teaches others to trade. His secret to success boils down to two words—"Rhythm."

For small accounts aiming to turn around, it’s not about whether you dare to hold heavy positions, but whether you can control your position size and stay in sync with the rhythm. I guided him based on this idea, simplifying it into four steps:

**Step 1: Diversify and Discipline First**

Divide the 900 U into three parts. Use only one-third for trading at first, and keep the rest untouched. Without a clear signal, hold firm—don’t add positions randomly, don’t blindly buy the dip, and definitely don’t hold onto losing trades. Many people can’t resist; they see a dip and want to add, but end up deepening their losses.

**Step 2: Only Trade Confirmed Trends**

Skip choppy sideways movements—don’t waste energy on them. Wait until the trend is clear before making decisive moves. Don’t have to fully capitalize on every short-term fluctuation; break it into several parts and take profits gradually. This approach yields a much higher win rate than chasing quick thrills.

**Step 3: Roll Profits and Keep Fixed Stop-Loss**

After the first profitable trade, use the "original capital plus the earned profit" for the next trade. This way, your position size gradually enlarges, but risk remains within your manageable range. Remember, wealth is accumulated little by little, not built through gambling.

**Step 4: Know When to Stop—Don’t Be Greedy**

While others chase the rally, we take profits and exit decisively; while others suffer a margin call, we’ve already pocketed our gains. Doubling your money is just the final result; what truly matters are the words "Steady, Accurate, Ruthless."

I’ve seen many small fund traders staring at the market all day, placing trades excessively, becoming more anxious as they lose, and falling into a vicious cycle they can’t escape. Trading isn’t about having a big courage; it’s about mastering the rhythm. Once you understand the rhythm thoroughly, profits will come naturally.
