You know the setups.
You see them coming.
NVDA breaks over VWAP. Volume floods in. The move is clean.
Or SPY sets up for a 0DTE play. The risk is defined. The entry is obvious.
You execute.
And you make money.
But not ENOUGH money.
Because you're running 100 shares when you should be running 1,000.
Or 1 contract when you should be running 10.
Your edge isn't the problem.
Your account size is.
And here's the truth most traders figure out too late:
You can't scale a small account fast enough to matter.
Even if you're GOOD…
Even if you average 10% a month…
It takes YEARS to turn a $5K account into $100K.
Years of perfect execution.
No blown-up months.
No drawdowns that set you back.
No life getting in the way.
And most traders quit long before they get there.
Not because they can't trade.
Because they run out of time.
