Holding only 5000 USDT to enter the market may seem insignificant, but for many beginners, this money is just "paying tuition."

I've seen too many such cases—initially quite restrained, but within a few weeks, their true nature is revealed.

A few candlesticks drop, and their mentality collapses. When prices go up, they think they're a genius trader; when they fall, they immediately doubt everything, thinking about selling everything to make up for losses. When the market heats up a bit, their hands start to itch. Seeing others post profit screenshots, their minds get all messed up. When the market pulls back, they feel like riding a roller coaster, unable to stop.

Honestly, trading ultimately becomes an emotional game—being led by the market, not actually making money, but gambling.

And those who really blow up their accounts are never because of a small principal, but because they are too impatient and chaotic. 5000U can't withstand all-day monitoring, emotional swings, or reckless trading without a plan. You think you're catching opportunities, but in reality, you're slowly pushing your own money back into the market.

But you'll notice an interesting phenomenon—those who can gradually grow a small amount of money often seem quite "boring." No rushing, no chasing, no gambling; when the market isn't there, they stay out; when the direction isn't clear, they simply wait. Their operations may seem unremarkable, but their accounts steadily grow.

The number 5000U is neither too much nor too little; it's just the right size to hone your mentality, find your trading rhythm, and figure out when to make a move. When you can stay calm amid volatility, resist temptation, and avoid impulsive actions outside your plan, your money will naturally start to grow.

What truly separates traders isn't their technical skills, but whether they can endure the most chaotic, difficult days when giving up seems tempting.

Don't rush to turn things around; first, learn not to be repeatedly pressed to the ground by the market. Only those who survive to the end deserve to discuss the results.
