When I say I only use 100x leverage, going from 2000U to 120,000, nine out of ten people say I'm just lucky.
But the truth is: I'm not relying on leverage, I'm relying on rhythm!
I'm not encouraging you to use high leverage, but most people don't understand at all: "Leverage isn't the problem, it's how you use it that's the problem." At that time, my account was barely 2000, I lost three rounds in a row, and I was almost out of it. Every time I entered a position, I got countered, as soon as I set my stop-loss, it would shoot up, and when I tried to short, it would dive.
People around me said: Are you being played by the market?
I said: It's not that I can't do it, it's that my rhythm is poor, I can't control my position at all. So I stopped trading for three days, flipping through my previous liquidation records page by page for review, and the conclusion was simple: it's not that my skills are lacking, it's that I have no boundaries.
So I started doing the opposite: I only look in one direction each day, confirm before entering a trade, and keep my position size to no more than 5%, always leaving an exit strategy without holding onto losing trades or averaging down; if I'm wrong, I cut losses, if I'm right, I go all in at 50x, set my take profit and stop-loss well, and just hold on.
Some say this is gambling?
I countered: If you enter a trade with a 30% position, unclear direction, no stop-loss, and a chaotic position size, that's real gambling with your life; what I'm doing is low risk.
High leverage to amplify profits, losses are still controlled.
This way, I rolled from 2000U to my first 10,000 in less than a month. At that time, I knew that as long as I could control the rhythm, doubling was just a matter of time. Now I take two trades a day, aiming for stability rather than quantity. If the market is stagnant, I stay out; when opportunities arise, I execute with full focus.
It's not that I'm so great; it's that I'm willing to take losses, willing to summarize, and willing to correct my mistakes. Ultimately, what truly breaks people is not the market.
It's your uncontrolled impulses time and time again, the repeated fantasy of "this trade will definitely turn around."
Liquidation is not a disgrace; the disgrace is not even knowing where you lost, and those who criticize leverage for "harmful effects" often can't control their own hands. Whether you take it in or not is your own business.
I no longer rely on hope to turn things around; what I rely on is planning and rhythm to live
