Hey Quant X Tribe,
Most traders think the only way to “make it”…
Is to grow one big account.
Compound.
Hold.
Scale.
But what if your edge is strongest on small capital?
This Thursday at Alpha Trading Cup,
Julian Yong is sharing how he approaches small account growth differently.
Here’s his framework:
Start with USD $1,500
Trade with a clear weekly objective
Grow it to $3,000
Withdraw the original $1,500 profit
Reset again the following week
No emotional attachment.
No long drawdown cycles.
No “revenge hold and pray.”
Just repeatable execution.
Why This Matters (Especially for ATC)
Many ATC participants are not trading six-figure accounts.
You’re testing.
Building confidence.
Proving your edge.
The small-account phase is where:
Risk management habits are built
Position sizing discipline is trained
Psychology gets exposed
If you cannot double $1.5K with structure,
you won’t magically manage $50K better.
Capital size doesn’t fix bad process.
Process scales.
Emotion explodes.
What Julian Will Cover
• How he structures trades for small accounts
• Why he prefers weekly cycles instead of long compounding
• How he manages risk so one bad day doesn’t wipe the account
• What mindset shift most small-account traders lack
This is practical.
No theory.
No textbook slides.
Just how he personally approaches it.
If you’re trading ATC with a smaller account…
Or you’ve ever felt like “I need more capital first”…
This session is for you.
