If you lost everything and had only one thousand dollars left, how would you trade?

Very differently.I would do only three things.

First, I would not try to double it. I'd protect it.

Second, I'd risk so little that one bad week couldn't knock me out.

Third, I'd trade one setup again and again until I understood it better than everyone else.

That's it.

Small accounts don't die from small profits, they die from big ambitions
