Beginners luck is real in #crypto
I remember when I made $2k from futures trading in a week as a beginner.
I was so confident and started to give my friends calls.
I even offered my cousin $500, and was like when you make profit on that and you can give me back the $500 😂.
Not knowing what lay ahead.
I would open $2k margin trades with 10x leverage 🤦🏽♂️.
Thats how confident I was in my ability (not knowing I was just a 🤡).
Bro I was so confident I told my gf, “give me $3k, I’ll multiply it for you” (spot, not futures).
When the losses started coming in, they came in haaaard.
I remember one time about last year April, I lost a trade, and opened an even bigger one immediately after 🤦🏽♂️.
Then obviously lost that too.
I lost more than 6 trades in the span on 3 days.
I was so confused, thinking to myself “ I thought I was good at trading”.
- 5 mins technical analysis and No stoploss 🤦🏽♂️.
My trading account went from $7,500 to $10k.
That’s how I got confident.
I Kidd you not, it went from $10k to $0 in 2 weeks.
What did I learn?
