I entered the crypto space almost two years ago with $400 USDT, completely clueless about it. A friend introduced me, and I started by investing in Solana and futures without any understanding of trading. Within two days, I lost my entire account. Determined, I deposited another $300, but within a week, I got liquidated again. I tried once more with $500, driven by revenge, but that too was wiped out the same day. At that point, I believed crypto was a scam and that nobody could succeed here.
However, seeing profit posts online made me reconsider. I learned that about 5% of traders were profitable, so I thought, if they can do it, why can’t I? I began searching for a mentor on platforms like TikTok, joined a few groups, and even paid for lessons, but I still ended up losing money. Eventually, a friend told me about a crypto mentor in Dubai. Although he only taught in-person, he referred me to someone in Asia who offered online classes.
This new mentor charged $1,000 USDT for a two-month course. I managed to arrange the money and started learning. The lessons were invaluable, and by the end of the course, I was trading profitably. I started with $400 USDT in my account and followed a disciplined approach, making $5-$10 daily to slowly grow my portfolio.
I spent countless hours observing charts across multiple timeframes and using different indicators to understand market behavior. Over time, I gained a lot of knowledge. A few months ago, I revisited futures trading. On my first day, I got liquidated, but it was only a small amount since I was cautious. Since then, I haven’t been liquidated for 4-5 months, and my account has grown to nearly $20,000. I now earn $4,000-$5,000 monthly through futures, using only $1,200 in my futures wallet, while keeping my main funds in spot and funding wallets.

Key Lessons I’ve Learned
1. Discipline and Planning: Stick to a plan and avoid panic selling or greedy buying.
2. EMA Strategies:
Use EMA 5 for 5-minute trades.
EMA 21 works well for 15-minute and 1-hour timeframes.
For longer timeframes, EMA 50, 100, and 200 are better.
Still, smaller timeframes are not ideal for most traders.
3. Margin and Leverage:
Use a low leverage of 5x.
Never risk more than 1% of your margin.
4. Fibonacci Retracements:
The 0.618 retracement level is extremely effective, more so than the golden pocket.
5. Candle Reading:
Understanding candlestick patterns is essential for consistent profitability.
6. Liquidity Awareness:
Monitoring liquidations is crucial, but most popular heat maps are fake and manipulated by exchanges. (I use a specialized tool I can’t disclose.)
7. Price Action Over Fundamentals:
While fundamentals occasionally matter, 99% of successful trades come down to price action.

Today, I’m very happy with my progress in crypto. My focus remains on slow, steady growth without greed. Massive earnings will come with time and patience.
