Unknowingly, I have been trading on the exchange for a full year. In the beginning, both spot and futures contracts were losing, and my account was green like a leek field.

The turning point came suddenly—during airdrops of a certain project last year, I relied on intuition and accelerated in and out; a series of trades directly netted over $300. Keep in mind, this money was enough for my monthly meals, and I was so excited watching my account balance that I trembled. That period was my highlight, and I never replicated that feeling again.

Looking back now, losses are still the norm, but at least I’ve learned the rhythm of quick in and out. Continuing to stay vigilant next year—maybe the next big profit is just around the corner? Anyway, I’ve already gotten used to this rollercoaster thrill.
