One of the most important steps you can take to grow a small trading account is to clearly define your risk management rules.
Traders with small accounts can make a living from their trading, but they need to control the stress that often comes with
undercapitalization, focus on risk management, and apply their risk management techniques properly, especially the 1% risk
rule. Small trading accounts can be more difficult to trade successfully, but if they are traded correctly, there is no
reason why small trading accounts cannot be profitable.
This may not be the case, and on small accounts, many traders, including professional traders, trade profitably. Large
accounts can be used to trade any available market, but small accounts can only trade certain markets in a certain way. Large
accounts allow for more flexible trading, such as multiple contracts and short positions, while small accounts may be limited
to long positions that can be hedged for cash. Leveraged trading allows traders with small accounts to trade in markets where
they cannot trade in cash.
Traders on tight budgets often try to make up for their small account size by taking overly indebted positions. Traders with
small accounts do not have the luxury of trading mediocre trade setups. We don’t trade settings that don’t meet all the rules
of our trading strategy, and we certainly don’t want to risk 50% of our account on a single trade, even if it’s an A+
setting.
I have had cases where my positions would have been at a loss of 300 USD, and the next minute the same trade setup would have
given me double profit. With this strategy, the goal is to achieve at least 3 spikes in every trade you make. The amazing
thing about boom and bust is that spikes can be predicted with damn good accuracy.
The problem with Boom & Crash is that when you trade spikes, the trade starts at a loss and the loss continues to grow with
each M1 candle. Once you start trading Boom & Crash, you won’t be able to hold your breath to take another pick. While
trading Boom & Crash indices is a great way to grow a small stock account, the risk involved is also huge.
For example, $20 equity in an artificial demo account with an artificial demo account will certainly not allow you to open a
position in any of the up and down markets using a lot size of 0.20. I suggest people with small accounts (less than $100)
use small lot sizes between 0.10 and 0.30 on any rise and fall index, but first I prefer to use a lot size that will take 20%
of my equity as margin. . Risking 10% on a high probability trade is fine if your account size is less than $1,000, but as
your capital grows, you should become more careful in risk management. Since you only want to use high probability trade
setups when trading with a small trading account, you should aim for higher levels of risk in order to increase your
potential profit.
Last but not least, you should adjust your risk levels for each trade as your account starts to grow. The next piece of
advice I have for you is that you want to add funds to your trading account regularly, especially if you know that your
trading results are already stable. You can also take your own small trading account and increase it to 6 digits and up.
Trading is about protecting your capital, and with the minimum RR you stick to, you’ll find your account grows much faster
than if you didn’t. The reason I encourage you to trade is because you will find several trading setups. The first tip I want
to share with you is that you need to find the right broker when trading with a small Forex account.
When I tell traders to look for more trades for them, they fall into the trap and that’s the problem with overtrading.
Learning how to trade on both large and small timeframes will give you a lot of opportunities, and you need to start
filtering out the big ones from the good ones. Don’t say “no trade today, oh well,” but move down to the lower time frames
and you’ll often find exciting price action.
If you are interested in growing your account quickly, you should trade on multiple time frames. Try taking longer trades
instead of focusing on the thrill of the peak.
Ultimately, these will be the very mistakes that can be avoided when trading on a large account. When you start with little
capital, be prepared to make all the mistakes a trader goes through. You can’t be that bad when you start trading as long as
you make money from mistakes. Simply put, if you want to avoid such stupid mistakes, open a demo account, lock yourself in a
room where your cat won’t enter, and take your time to make trading decisions.
Without risk management, there is a good chance that you will lose your account, be it a small trading account or a large
trading account. While small account holders must responsibly raise their risk levels, taking on too much risk will
inevitably lead to huge trading losses. When it comes to Forex trading, the amount of money you can trade has a major impact
on your profits and growth.
For example, using 2 full mini lots, an investor needs 100 pips to blow up a $20 real account when trading a 500 boom, and
even less than 90 pips to blow the same capital when trading a 1000 crash. How many peaks should you trade? 3 Hour Period **
Trade a maximum of 10 peaks ** The smaller the lot size, the greater the number of peaks traded. This is why I recommend this
strategy for people with $500 capital + account. I’ll explain why. Since we need to stay in the market for 50 pips/spike, we
need to use the maximum of that 50 pips.
