I lost $300,000.
No sugarcoating it — I blew up my entire trading account chasing pumps, copying “signal groups,” and using x50 leverage like it was a cheat code.
The pain was real. Sleepless nights. Regret. Shame. I was ready to quit.
But instead of giving up, I decided to rebuild with discipline. Here’s the exact strategy that helped me recover every dollar in just one month — and why it might work for you too.
⸻
💡 Step 1: Switched to Low-Leverage Futures (Max x3)
I stopped gambling. I started trading like a risk manager. With x3 leverage and strict stop-losses (5-8%), my downside was finally under control.
⸻
📊 Step 2: Focused on 2 Setups Only
No more chasing charts. I mastered support/resistance bounces and breakout/retest entries — two simple, high-probability patterns. Fewer trades, better results.
⸻
🧠 Step 3: Zero Emotions, Full Plan
Every trade had:
• Entry
• Stop-loss
• Take-profit
I never adjusted mid-trade. No FOMO. No revenge trading. I set alerts and walked away.
⸻
🔐 Step 4: Risked Just 1% Per Trade
With $10,000 starting capital, I never risked more than $100 on a single position. Slowly, consistently — the wins added up. No blowups, no stress.
⸻
📈 Step 5: Tracked Every Trade
I used a simple spreadsheet to log wins/losses, setups, and mistakes. Patterns emerged. I refined my strategy daily.
⸻
The Result?
$300K recovered in 30 days. Not magic — just discipline, simplicity, and smart risk.
⸻
If you’re down bad, know this: you don’t need luck — you need a plan.
