At Paruto Capital, we’re big believers in the power of strategy and discipline in trading. In this breakdown, I’ll walk you through how I turned a $50 trading account into $1,000 trading Gold (XAUUSD) — and more importantly, the exact strategy and process I followed to get there.

✅ Starting with $50: The Mindset & Setup
The journey began with just $50, and the plan was simple but bold — risk the entire $50 on a high-probability setup with the aim of scaling up if the trade worked out.
Using MT5 on my mobile and TradingView for analysis, I monitored the market for a clean structure that would support this kind of aggressive risk approach.
📊 Step 1: Pre-Trade Analysis & Mastermind Setup
Inside our Stuck In Profit Mastermind — a group where we host live trading calls during the London and New York sessions — I shared the initial trade setup in advance.
Our automated trade alert system notifies members as price approaches key levels:
- 🔔 Entry Zone Approached
- ✅ Trade Active
- 🏁 Take Profit Hit
This keeps everyone in the loop and ready to execute.
💡 The Trading View Breakdown
The trade setup focused on a clear demand zone that had formed after a structural break on the 5-minute chart. This zone showed signs of:
- Strong rejection
- Inducement (aka liquidity)
- Break of structure confirming a shift in momentum
We anticipated price would:
- Clear the inducement (liquidity)
- Tap into the demand zone
- Push to the previous high
This gave us a 1:5 risk-reward ratio target on the first entry.
🛠 Execution: First Trade
- Position Size: 0.07 lots
- Risk: The entire $50
- Goal: Catch the full move from demand zone to high
By the time I woke up (as this was triggered in the early hours), the price had already moved significantly, confirming the setup. That single move resulted in a $400 gain.
🔁 Scaling Up: Stacking Additional Entries
Once the market showed signs of consolidating around a new range during London session, I waited patiently for another confirmation.
This time, I dropped to the 1-minute timeframe for a precision entry.
Why?
Because price was:
- Ranging but respecting an internal imbalance
- Failing to break a specific low (signaling strength)
- Aligned with the 5-min inducement and demand zone
That was my cue to stack a second entry, this time aiming for a 1:8 RR.
Combined with the first trade, this pushed the account up to $1,000+.
📌 Key Lessons from This Trade
- Risk Management is Contextual
While risking 100% of an account is not typically advised, I took a calculated risk because of the high-probability nature of the setup and clear confluence. - Stacking Requires Structure
You don’t randomly add to trades — you wait for price structure to give you the green light. - Lower Timeframes Provide Precision
Using the 1-minute chart helped me optimize entries and maximize profits. - Be Ready to Walk Away
If the first trade didn’t hit, I’d have walked away with a lesson, not revenge trades.
🔐 Final Thoughts
This strategy is not for the faint-hearted. It requires:
- Mastery of structure
- Clarity in risk
- Patience to wait for pullbacks or confirmation
