dabbled in futures trading before, while I was still working. That wasn’t trading at all—it was gambling. I hadn’t studied any indicators or technical analysis, and I had no experience. I just saw a post on X saying you could blindly short new listings on Binance, so I jumped right in. I’d short whatever was listed on Binance. I got lucky back then, shorting 2z, enso, and another one that’s since been delisted—I can’t remember its name. I made over 30,000 USDT in just one week. It was pure luck. I got carried away, dreaming of making 100 million. Then I quickly ran into some wild coins. I didn’t use stop-losses, and one final move wiped me out. I think they were jellyjelly, giggle, and 0G. Then I deposited more money and kept losing. In the end, I lost about 200,000. So I stopped and went back to work.
Then, on September 11 this year, I went all in and quit my job to trade crypto full-time. It took a lot of resolve, because I thought I still had something going for me and could give it a shot. So I studied like crazy, looking at indicators—RSI, MACD, KDJ—and lots of indicator combinations, always searching for the holy grail. But I kept losing. Then I read biographies of famous people, read Trading in the Zone, and studied their trade records. That’s how I gradually found my way. This path really is long and difficult, but if you keep going, you’ll start to see a way forward and have reason to hope. I’ve now been trading full-time for 60 days—two months. These past two months are the first time I’ve really started taking my learning seriously, and I’m still at it. So don’t be quick to say you can’t do it. There are so many things you say you can’t do.
Looking back, from school to work to trading futures now, I was basically a total academic star in school and a total workhorse at work. Why? Because I’m driven. Whatever I do, I want to do it to the best of my ability. So going full-time into trading this time was basically me outsmarting myself. My brain made the decision to quit, and that was the main thing. I can’t sit
