Gambling for fun in moderation; excessive gambling harms health
Turning $7,000 into $600,000 sounds pretty unbelievable.
But honestly, it’s not that I suddenly got smart—I just finally learned not to self-sabotage.
That period with FHE really messed me up. Two consecutive liquidations, $400,000 gone in an instant.
I was completely stunned.
It felt like the market was rubbing my face in the dirt.
By the time ALLO came around, my account only had $7,000 left. Can you believe that?
I used to open positions worth tens of thousands without a second thought, but now my hands were shaking just opening a trade.
But it was exactly that $7,000 that snapped me back to reality.
I turned off my trading app and didn't place a single order for two whole days and nights.
I pulled up every single losing trade I'd made and reviewed them one by one.
Why did I enter? Why did I hold? Why didn't I cut my losses?
After thinking all these questions through, I decided to change the way I trade:
No betting on luck. No fighting the trend. No stubbornly holding onto losing trades.
Only trade what I understand. Only take stable setups.
First move: ETH long.
The entry wasn't perfect, but the direction was right.
3x leverage, small steps, quick exits.
That trade helped me regain my long-lost confidence.
Second move: BNB short.
This was the real turning point. It was unbelievably smooth.
Watched the price drop all the way, no adding to the position, no early exits.
When I pocketed $24,000, it hit me:
Turns out, trading steadily really can make money.
Third move: BTC’s bull trap.
The price action was so fake; anyone with experience could see it.
Planned ahead, built short positions in batches.
That trade pushed my account straight to $30,000.
At that moment, I suddenly understood:
It’s not that the market got easier—it’s that I stopped messing around.
I started sticking to a few key principles:
No anxiety when holding no positions.
No panic about missing out.
Never treat one trade as a chance to make it all back.
Trading is just part of following a system.
Only use 10% of my capital per trade.
Set take-profit and stop-loss before entering.
Once the trade is on, I don’t touch it—no relying on luck, no jokes.
Flipping an account has never been the goal—it’s just the result.
And the reason is simple: I finally learned to control myself.
Looking back now, that $7,000 wasn't little at all.
What really determines whether you can bounce back has never been the size of your capital.
It’s whether you can actually learn something after getting liquidated.
I don’t have any secret tricks to teach.
I just want to say this honestly:
If you don’t fully understand the market yet, don’t go all-in, don’t bet everything, don’t set yourself up to get wrecked.
