Can you really made money with $100? The truth that no one tells you.

I see many beginner traders thinking: “I'm going to turn my $100 into $1,000 in a month.” Sounds nice, right? But let me burst that bubble.

The math problem that everyone ignores

Let's say you have $200 and set a stop loss of 2% ( which is the right thing ). That's $4. But if you want to trade BTC with that account, you would need a 2% movement in BTC before losing those $4. With the current volatility, it's almost impossible to place a trade without getting liquidated.

What do they do then? Many beginners use a stop loss of 10-20%. That is, they gamble instead of trading. And believe me, if you lose all your capital, it will just be a matter of time.

The two reasons why you trade with $100

Option 1: You don't trust your system. You're “training” but without a real method. You lose $100 → you re-enter $100 → you lose again. It's an infinite cycle of slow bleeding.

Option 2: You have a profitable system but no capital. This is the only case where it makes sense to try.

Real Mathematics

Say that your success rate is 60% and gains/losses 1:2. You invest 2% per trade ($4 with $200). With 2 trades/day and 20 trading days:

• Best case: $320 monthly
• With 60% success: insufficient to live

The only way to multiply $100 to $1,000? Risk it all. And if you succeed once, you'll believe you can do it all the time. Until a trade liquidates everything.

My unfiltered advice

If you trade with $100 aiming to reach $10,000, forget it. Instead:

1. Use a demo account until you achieve consistent profits
2. Develop your own system without financial pressure
3. Accumulate real capital in parallel (work/business)
4. When you have $5,000-10,000+, only then does the risk/reward make sense.

A successful trader never multiplies their account by 100 in a month. Only with compound interest, from larger amounts, do you achieve significant gains.

Are you stuck in the $100 cycle? Time to change the strategy.
