With 800U rolling to 6000U, it’s not because I’m so great, but because I finally stopped messing around.
I blew two trades, lost almost 4K U, and I was left in shock. My account only has 800 left, and I don’t even have the guts to take a big position.
I forced myself to review my trades for two days, pulling out each point where I lost money, and made a decision: no more gambling, and no more recklessness.
The first trade was a long on ETH, I timed it perfectly, used 3x leverage, and earned a bit of confidence.
The second trade was a short on BNB, it took off directly, all the way up to 3200U. I started to believe this path was viable.
Then came the BTC manipulation, it was too obvious, I set up early, shorted in batches, and it hit 6K.
After these trades, I understood: it’s not that the market became simpler, it’s that I stopped being reckless.
I started to dare to hold cash, to miss out, and no longer fantasized about turning one trade around.
I only risked 70% of my position on each trade, set profit and loss limits in stone, and didn’t touch it after opening.
Doubling my account is the result of moving forward, not the goal of chasing.
Looking back, 800U isn’t a small amount. Whether I can turn things around doesn’t depend on the principal, but on whether I can learn something from getting liquidated.
I’m not trying to set any flags, just speaking the truth:
Don't jump straight into contract trading without understanding it; it’s all about giving away money.
