You might have to make high-quality trades. After you've doubled your account, you can start making multiple trades with a maximum risk of 5% per trade.

Use longer timeframes to learn, and once you get the hang of it, start scalping wtih EURUSD on a lower timeframe until you have built up a bigger account.

I think you should start with small capital and follow risk management along with proper fundamental analysis. Later you can do some quality trades to maintain your account.

Forex changes its direction quickly, which is a fact for which traders suffer losses the most. You can capture the market movement if you can analyze the market properly.

I think scalping EUR/USD or USD/JPY on smaller time frames would be the wise place to start with a small account and trade lot size of 0.01. That may not seem like a lot but it will grow faster than you think.

Clearly defining your risk management criteria is one of the most crucial measures you can take to expand a modest trading account. Without risk management, there is a great probability that you'll blow your money, whether it's a tiny or huge trading account. Since risk is the only variable that traders can control, it is important to follow a set of guidelines to limit losses and boost earnings.

Managing risk is critical when trading with a small account. Make sure you have a stop-loss in place for every trade, and never risk more than 1-2% of your account on any single trade.

Managing a small trading account requires discipline, patience, and a sound trading strategy. Here are some tips to help you manage your small trading account:

1. Set realistic goals: Your trading goals should be realistic and achievable, taking into account the size of your account. Don't expect to make a huge profit with a small account.
2. Choose the right trading style: Consider the trading style that suits your personality, schedule, and trading goals. Scalping, day trading, swing trading, and position trading are some of the popular trading styles.
3. Use risk management tools: Use stop-loss orders to limit your losses and take-profit orders to lock in profits. You should also limit your risk per trade to a small percentage of your account balance.
4. Stick to your trading plan: Develop a trading plan that suits your trading style and stick to it. Avoid impulsive trades or emotional decisions that can lead to losses.
5. Keep track of your trading performance: Record all your trades, including the entry and exit points, stop-loss and take-profit orders, and the reasons for taking the trade. Review your performance regularly and learn from your mistakes.
6. Be patient: Trading can be a slow process, and it takes time to build a profitable trading account. Don't expect overnight success, and be patient with your trading strategy.
7. Learn from successful traders: Learn from successful traders and read books, watch videos, and attend webinars to improve your trading skills and knowledge.

By following these tips, you can manage your small trading account effectively and increase your chances of success.

When trading with a tiny trading account, search for A+ trade setups that have the potential to create a long-term trend.

This entails identifying a trend reversal and finding the ideal entry point with a manageable risk-per-trade and an appealing reward-to-risk ratio.
