Let's Trade $500 Like a Prop Firm Account Discussão

I will run this account for the coming years and see where I can get it to. This is not an account flipping or to impress anybody. It's just a reminder to my younger, undercapitalized self that If I knew what I know now, I would not need a considerable sum of money to trade. All I needed was a working edge and discipline to execute it with calculated risk. And it’s also a reminder to myself and everyone that if you cannot manage $500, how will you manage $5000 or $50,000 or more? Anybody who has ever shared their myfxbook on YouTube has done it after years of accomplishing something. I’m doing the opposite, as I’m doing it in real-time, so It’s a big test of my emotional endurance. Another thing is that most trading educators share their myfxbook with only %gain visible while keeping their $ amounts and risk mechanics private. Still, I’m keeping everything public except the open trades.
Prop firms usually offer a 10% drawdown limit, and when you are risking 1% of the account, you are essentially risking 10% of the available drawdown limit.
I am using the same analogy by risking 10% on every trade. I'm going to use the mentioned $ risk with the respective $ balance:
Balance Risk
$500 $50
$1000 $100
$2000 $200
$4,000 $400
$8,000 $800
$16,000 $1,600
$32,000 $3,200
$64,000 $6,400
$128,000 $12,800
$256,000 $25,600
$512,000 $51,200
And so on...
