Why Your $1,000 Account Is Actually An Advantage

By Bryan Bottarelli

June 16, 2025


Don’t look now, but the market is clawing its way back to all-time highs.

And that’s bound to draw a lot of interest from brand new retail traders.

But here’s the thing – most trading advice for beginners is backwards. They tell you to “start small” but never explain how to trade small accounts differently than big ones.

So I made this video to give you the same five tips I learned trading on the CBOE pit – except tailored for people starting with $1,000, not $500,000.

Here’s What You’ll Discover:

  • Why your wife’s $100 yoga pants could have made you $70,000 – and the simple observation that beats any Wall Street research report…
  • The 5-10% position sizing secret that separates Wall Street pros from broke gamblers – plus why putting half your account into one “sure thing” is the fastest way to blow up…
  • How to set your stop loss before you even buy – the 20% rule that prevents you from making emotional decisions when markets go crazy…
  • The “sell half” profit-taking strategy that solves the greed problem forever – no more wondering whether to take gains or hold for more…
  • What NEVER to do when you see your account in the red on day one – this single mistake scares more beginners away from trading than anything else…

PLUS: The speed advantage small accounts have that disappears once you get bigger – and how to use it while you still can…

WARNING: Why treating your $1,000 account like a lottery ticket guarantees you’ll join the 90% who flame out in their first year…

Are you making the “complex technology” mistake? When tech guys start talking to me, it sounds like that teacher from Charlie Brown. Here’s what to buy instead…

YOUR ACTION PLAN

Trading isn’t a sprint and it’s not a marathon either. It’s a game that never ends.

And these five rules help you stay in that game long enough to get good at it.

But here’s the thing… Once you’ve got these fundamentals down, you’re ready to see how the pros actually trade.

And that’s exactly what you’ll get during our 2025 GOLDEN WINNER OPEN HOUSE – one full week of live trading with the War Room, completely free.
