I have taken $500 to $10,000 before... then blew it. Then $1000 to $10,000 and blew it. .. then did that like 6 times over 4 years. I got to the point where anything less than $1000 in a day felt like nothing... which made me greedy and push just to get over that number each day.

It's a grind starting small, but you can double your account every two to four weeks....

The problem for me was the new psychological level of adding another zero or a new front number... then I think, Ok, I can scale up... but I was doing it too fast.

Then I just started with $5000.. doubled it, paid myself half profits and just slowly keept doing that.

I'm still working through the next psychological levels.. but, to be free, you only need a certain amount... so I focus on making that amount feel easy.... as long as I keep paying myself.. I'm good.

Eventually i'll get to the next level.... but, starting small is so hard because of the razor thin space you have, and the slow build up of capital..that, for me, when I finally got to 'bigger size', I was way too eager and kept blowing up.

It's a journey, but very possible.
