Hi everyone, I’m Lina, an ordinary investor who moves back and forth between the U.S. stock and crypto markets.
My reason for getting into investing may sound a little cliché: a market crash a few years ago made me realize that, in the middle of a panic, I couldn’t even answer “Why is it falling?” From that day on, I decided I’d either figure it out or walk away. A few years have passed, and I’m still here—but instead of letting market sentiment lead me around, I now look at the data first and make my decisions second.
My daily routine goes something like this: in the morning, I open my eyes and check on U.S. stocks overnight—focusing on tech stocks, the semiconductor chain, and flows into leveraged ETFs, because these sectors are often a barometer of global risk appetite. In the evening, I switch to crypto, keeping an eye on BTC and ETH price action, funding rates, and on-chain sentiment, and occasionally jotting down observations about altcoin season. The two markets may seem like day and night shifts, but they’re always in conversation: volatility in U.S. stocks can spill over into crypto, while crypto liquidity can quietly influence risk appetite in tech stocks. Understanding this connection has been my biggest takeaway over the past few years.
You’ll find three kinds of content on this account:
The first is market notes. I’ll explain the day’s key macro events, sector rotations, and capital flows in my own words, aiming to keep things clear and avoid burying you in jargon.
The second is trade reviews, including both my wins and my mistakes. I firmly believe that it’s easy to show off your trades, but hard to admit when you’re wrong—and owning your mistakes is what helps traders grow. I’ll write honestly about the mistakes I’ve made, from chasing highs and holding losing positions to letting emotions dictate my moves.
The third is about mindset: how to use leverage responsibly, manage position sizes, and understand why “staying in the game” matters more than “getting rich overnight.” This content may not be very exciting, but it’s why I’ve been able to stick around in this market.
Finally, let me make three things clear: I’ll never tell you what to buy or sell, because no one can predict the market—not even me. Everything I share is just a record of my personal observations and is not investment advice. Leverage and futures are tools, not gambling devices, and position size always matters more than conviction.
The market will always be here, and there will always be opportunities. Take care of yourself first. Let’s take it slowly and grow our wealth together.
It’s lovely to meet you. — Lina
