I used to look down on small-position trading—thinking that making money that way was too slow, and that turning things around was hopeless. But my real trading career taught me another lesson: the most destructive thing is never account loss, but psychological collapse.

Once the position size increases, even a slight market fluctuation can completely throw me off. Stop-loss orders become annoying, plans made in advance instantly turn into scrap paper, and in the end, only one thought remains in my mind: "Hold on a bit longer, it will definitely rebound."

Later, I had to admit—it's not that I don't understand the technicals, I simply can't psychologically handle heavy positions. Small positions are not about being timid; they are about prioritizing survival. When I can truly enter without greed, not panic when swept out, and quickly admit losses on wrong trades, then my position size will naturally grow.

Nothing is more important in trading than mindset. Moving a little slower is not shameful at all.
