There are two ways to make money in this market. One is long-term compounding (which means there cannot be significant drawdowns or liquidation, so every trade incurs a cost for stop-loss. Therefore, each trade must have the potential to move a large distance to be meaningful, resulting in a reduced trading frequency).
The other is short-term speculative doubling of funds (short-term speculative doubling necessitates frequent trading, holding positions and adding to them, increasing leverage, and being ready for a market wave to take you away.
You cannot have both fish and bear's paws; it depends on which one you belong to, but the latter is more in line with human nature.
