My name is Journey, I'm 33 years old, and I'm a drifter who refuses to be mediocre. Once, I was a coder with a monthly salary of 10,000, burdened with a mortgage, saving up 900,000, and my life felt like an old map, lacking any novelty. Three years ago, while waiting at the airport, I stumbled upon a video on quantitative trading, and in a moment of inspiration, I thought: rather than being trapped, why not use code to explore the world? I quit my job, bought a laptop, and learned while traveling, tackling Python, algorithms, and candlestick charts under the sun and wind.
I started with 900,000, wrote a cross-market arbitrage strategy, and debugged it by the beach in Thailand. In the first month, I made 400,000, sipping coconut juice and smiling. But in the second month, the market crashed, and I was left with 200,000, almost sleeping on the beach. I didn't panic; I rented a small place in Tokyo, optimized my model, added weather data and sentiment factors, and borrowed 500,000 to make a comeback. Six months later, my account soared to 15 million, and I bought a wooden house in the Swiss Alps, staring at the screen counting money, thinking: this is freedom.
Now, my net worth exceeds 100 million, my team operates remotely, and algorithms are trading from U.S. stocks to cryptocurrencies. Those who once advised me to play it safe now seek my guidance, and I toss back, 'The world is my market.' At 33, I've transformed from a coder into a global player, all thanks to code and an restless heart. The market is my journey, and I am the traveler; next stop: 100 billion, writing my legend!
