Many people want to reverse their fortunes with small capital, but end up making things overly complicated. Actually, there's nothing mysterious about turning $10,000 into a million-dollar goal—it's all about understanding the big picture and then executing with discipline.

Most people start off by stepping into pitfalls. They get obsessed with short-term indicators, staring at minute-level K-line charts every day, completely reversing the trading sequence, and ultimately losing more the more they trade. That’s the core issue.

The correct approach is the opposite. First, look at larger timeframes like daily or 4-hour charts. Ask yourself a fundamental question: Is the current price creating higher highs and higher lows (uptrend), or lower highs and lower lows (downtrend)? If you can't see this clearly, then the market is in consolidation, and instead of frequent trading, it’s better to take a break.

Using just the 60-day moving average is enough. Is the price above the moving average and the MA trending upward? A bullish trend—consider participating. Is the price below the MA and the MA trending downward? A bearish trend—be cautious. Is the price repeatedly crossing the MA? No clear direction—trading rashly will likely lead to losses.

Even if you correctly identify the trend, don’t rush to bet everything. In an uptrend, only enter after a pullback to key support levels; in a downtrend, wait for a rebound to resistance zones before shorting. Chasing highs and selling lows is the easiest way to be shaken out by market whipsaws.

When there’s no clear direction, staying in cash and waiting is the smartest move.

Why do many people lose money? Not because they see the wrong trend, but because they trade wildly during consolidation, gradually depleting their capital. Truly consistent traders spend most of their time waiting. From $10,000 to $1 million, it’s never about trading frequency; it’s about patience in insight and decisiveness in execution.
