13-week challenge: turning 0.5U into 10 million — Day 19

Sharing my live trades publicly the whole way, just to gain followers. A late-night update: my account equity is currently 175.94U, and I netted +91.40U trading today. What I made today is more than 182 times my starting capital of 0.5U. This is the moment Bro Kui has waited 19 days for.

Here are today’s numbers, clear as day: realized profit +98.71U, funding fees +1.79U, trading fees −9.11U, net profit +91.40U. Over the last three days: realized profit +117.12U, net profit after fees +103.25U. That’s how I’ve been putting up three-digit gains, one day at a time.

What I’m even prouder of is how my approach has changed: when my unrealized profit peaked at +54U tonight, I didn’t get greedy—I locked in most of it. There’s now 135.97U of real money sitting in my wallet, and I’ve still got 15-plus long positions open, with +39.96U in unrealized profit; 10 are in the green. Securing profits isn’t cowardice. It’s a rule understood by people who’ve been taught the hard way by the market—I've seen plenty of unrealized gains ride the roller coaster, and in the end, only what you’ve locked in counts.

As always, all my positions are public: all 15 are long positions, with a notional value of 2,687U—15 times my equity. $ETH , 150x, unrealized profit +12.90, currently in first place; $BTC, 150x, unrealized profit +9.18; $ERA, unrealized profit +4.83; KORU, unrealized profit +4.78. The five positions in the red are down just 2.05U combined—negligible.

The comments are going to argue again: all longs, 150x leverage, notional positions worth 15 times my equity—is this skill or gambling with my life? I can’t be bothered to argue tonight. I’ll just show the results: +91.40U today. My live account is linked in my profile—nothing hidden, nothing doctored, nothing deleted. If you think it’s luck, stick around and see how many days my luck lasts. If you think it’s my strategy, you’d better stick around too and wait until New Year’s Day to decide.

Let’s do the grand total: I’m still 9,999,824.06U away from 10 million. I need to multiply my balance another 56,838 times—that’s 15.8 more doublings. There are 72 days left, so I need to make +16.42% a day. Still ridiculous, but the multiplier is visibly shrinking—on Day 1, I had only 0.5U and couldn’t even imagine reaching three digits. Today I’m already at 175U, calculating the next...

I’ve left a little red packet at the end of the post—grab it if you’re quick. Follow Bro Kui and stick with me until New Year’s Day. Let’s see if I become a legend or get liquidated. $ETH
