Phase One Achieved — Say Goodbye to High Leverage

Honestly, I have an instinctive aversion to high leverage. The times I used over 20x leverage made me feel physically uncomfortable because I lost too many times in those situations. Ironically, high leverage did give me a taste of getting rich quickly, but those gains were like castles on the sand, unable to withstand any storm.

This lesson was a bit harsh, but it changed my perspective. I realized I had been chasing the wrong goals all these years. Making money is no longer the only objective.

Now, I care about something else: making money together with my brothers. It sounds like a motivational quote, but after experiencing those leverage liquidations, I realize that this is what truly matters. No matter how much one person makes, they can lose it all back, but helping those around you to achieve stable profits — that feeling is completely different.

The next goal is already set: survive the next 15 days.

Does that sound simple? For traders, this is not a small challenge.
