I have seen small accounts double their value, not relying on any black technology, but simply on one core factor — execution.

Last year, a buddy of mine started with 1500U, without using high leverage or gambling on emotional trades. After four months, his account grew to 45,000U. The entire process was very stable, even a bit boring — no rush of quick gains, only a step-by-step sense of progress.

How did he do it? I summarized three points.

**First, separate the funds.** Divide the 1500U into three parts: one for short-term trades, taking profits at 3% and then stopping; another for waiting for big opportunities, not moving unless the potential exceeds 15%; and a third as reserve funds, which are dead money regardless of how tempting the market looks. The benefit of this position sizing is simple — you never risk everything due to a single mistake.

**Second, only trade when the market is clear.** During consolidation, he would close the software — because most of the time, the market isn't worth participating in. The real profit comes from the main upward phase after a trend has formed. Once profits are realized, he takes some off the table to secure gains, ensuring safety first, so the remaining capital can be used for further speculation.

**Third, discipline always comes first.** Cut losing trades immediately, without hesitation; start reducing positions once profits are made, letting gains work for you; accept losses on wrong trades without averaging down. Over these months, what he did most was not trading, but waiting — while others repeatedly cut into the market, he stayed in cash; while others were emotionally driven, he had already cut losses and exited.

Whether small funds can double depends not on how aggressive your trading is, but on whether you can keep a calm mindset and stick to the rules. If you follow the rules, money will come naturally; if you can't, no matter how big your account, it's all useless.
