A big teaching lesson for those who understand:
Low IQs will never get it. I give you a very easy example with a stock and a $10,000 starting capital. You bought at 5K. Price hits 10K, you take 100% (x2) profit. Because you’re not an idiot. Even those who see a dip coming prefer to hold rather than making a profit. Now here’s the move they never see coming, while they sit on hands and their bags, you flip short at 10K after realising full profit.
Market pulls back to 7.5K. You just printed on the way down, let’s only consider a leverage of x10, this gives you an additional profit of 250% on your entire bag. Now you close the short at 7.5k and buy back big with your entire capital.
Let’s do the math the clowns ignore:
Step 1: Spot Buy
Entry: $5,000
Capital: $10,000
You buy 2 units of the asset at $5K each.
Price pumps to $10K → You sell both.
Total value: 2 × $10K = $20,000
Profit: $10,000 (100%)
You now sit on $20,000 in cash
Step 2: Open Short at $10K with x10 Leverage
You use your $20K as margin for a 10x short
→ Position size = $200,000
Price dumps to $7.5K = 25% drop
Short profit = 25% of $200,000 = $50,000
Now you’ve made $50K on the short.
Step 3: Buy Back at $7.5K
Now you’ve got:
• $20K from the original sale
• $50K from the short
→ Total: $70,000
Price is at $7.5K, so you buy 9.33 units
(70K ÷ 7.5K ≈ 9.33)
Step 4: If Price Goes Back to $10K
Your position: 9.33 Stock Units × $10K = $93,300
✅ Grand Total Profit: $83,300
→ From $10,000 starting capital
→ That’s an 8.33x return
While low IQs hold through the dip hoping for a miracle, you sell high, short the crash, buy back bigger, and ride the bounce. We did this all the time and this allowed us to maximise our spot portfolio at a height never seen before, especially after the latest big short from 90k towards 77k and back into spot + longs and realising all at 108k once again. I will not disclose how many x this strategy gave on my portfolio, but it works out with absolute perfection. The proof is right in front of you. The Art of trading..
