#美国就业数据表现强劲超出预期 The survival rule of small principal transactions: Staying steady is more realistic than making money quietly.
In the early stages of entering the market, newcomers often focus too much on the precision of the timing for entry, but they often overlook a fundamental question: Is it worth taking this risk at this price level?
The reason for the explosion of small capital accounts often gets stuck here.
Once the market direction was very clear, but the entry position was a bit awkward—there was still space above but a potential drop could happen at any moment. In the past, I would have jumped right in, but now I first hit the pause button and ask myself three questions: If I judge incorrectly, how many points will I lose? If I judge correctly, how many points can I earn? What is the probability of being shaken out during the oscillation?
If there is a question that you are not sure about, the options are simple: either pass on this transaction or take a small position to test the waters.
Later, the market did indeed move as expected, but there were significant fluctuations in between. Those traders who rushed in were emotionally tossed around, while I was able to calmly hold my position because I chose the right entry point.
At a certain stage of trading, what matters is not how bold you are, but rather your ability to remain calm and composed in the face of tempting market trends.
So I have been emphasizing: when you first start playing, don't think about soaring to great heights; the primary goal is to survive, and to gradually refine your judgment and risk control in real market conditions.
Market opportunities are created every day; what is truly lacking is the self-restraint to wait when one should wait and to act when one should act, as well as the execution ability to carry out actions at the correct pace.
Instead of blindly trying and failing, it is better to first stabilize the trading framework and calculate every transaction clearly; this way, the chances of turning the situation around will truly be presented before you.

Well said, living is victory. Those who wanted to get rich quickly from the start mostly ended up being the market suckers.

It is true that with a small capital, the biggest fear is having an All in mentality.

Indeed, what small capital fears the most is wanting to make a quick turnaround, only to accelerate the explosion instead.
Understanding the risk-reward ratio is crucial; many newcomers fail because they are "right in direction" but "wrong in position."

You are absolutely right, self-control is truly the most scarce thing.

Well said, retail investors are ruined by these two words: impatience.

honestly the recipe for not getting liquidated is way simpler than most think... just don't rush the simmering stage, let your risk/reward marinate properly before you even touch the stove tbh

They really just want to get rich quickly after entering; being alive is the top priority.
