Arman, a 24-year-old university student, became fascinated with trading after seeing profits posted on social media. Screenshots of $50 turning into $500 made him believe it was an easy path to financial freedom. With just $200 in savings, he opened a Binance account and started trading cryptocurrencies.

He began with FOMO trades — buying coins just because they were pumping. At first, it worked. He turned $200 into $320 in two days. Excited and overconfident, he increased his risk, using 20x leverage on a small altcoin. Within hours, the market dropped. His portfolio? Down to $47.

Shocked but not ready to quit, he borrowed $100 from a friend and promised to return it in a week. This time, he tried copy trading. Again, the trader he followed made a loss. Arman was left with $15.

Instead of giving up, he paused and started learning:

How to read charts

What is risk management

How to trade using support/resistance and trendlines

Importance of psychology and patience

Six months later, he returned with $150 and a new plan: Trade with a strategy, not emotion. He traded only 1-2% of his capital per trade. No more leverage unless necessary. No chasing pumps.

It was slow — but consistent.

Today, Arman still isn't a millionaire. But he now manages a $4,000 account and teaches beginner traders online. He learned the hard truth:

“Trading isn’t a shortcut to riches. It’s a long game of discipline, knowledge, and survival.”
