심리와 전략, 닭이 먼저일까 달걀이 먼저일까? 🤔

The micro-account approach is definitely the best way to battle-test psychology because even $20 of real risk activates different parts of the brain than a paper account. But regarding the "shit strategy" part of the equation: it's incredibly hard to know if your strategy actually works if you are trading blind to what the larger participants are doing.

If you are trying to trade standard support/resistance while an institution is sweeping liquidity below that level, your strategy will feel like it's failing, which ruins your psychology, even though the issue is just lack of data visibility.

Before even funding that $100 micro account, make sure you are looking at the right data. Start using tools that show you actual order flow and liquidity heatmaps. I built and use [AlphaSignal](https://alphasignal.digital/) to see where the heavy institutional limit orders are resting. Once you can actually see *why* price is stopping at a certain level (because a massive block order is absorbing the selling), your strategy becomes data-driven, and the psychological anxiety drops significantly.
