If you had a $10,000 account, how would you try to double it within a year using swing trading?

I'm an investor from China with a $10,000 trading account.

While $10,000 may not seem like a large amount in the U.S., it's a meaningful amount when converted to Chinese yuan.

I'm interested in swing trading rather than day trading, and my goal is to understand what a realistic path to doubling a $10,000 account within a year might look like.

I'm not looking for a "get rich quick" scheme. I'm more interested in position sizing, risk management, average holding time, win rate vs. risk/reward, and the types of setups experienced swing traders focus on.

If you've grown a small account significantly through swing trading, I'd really appreciate hearing what worked for you and what mistakes you would avoid if starting again with only $10,000.

Thanks in advance!
