Some time ago, someone asked me: Is it really feasible to make trading a profession?

My answer is straightforward—feasible. And more realistic than you might think.

Take myself as an example. At the beginning of 2024, I decided to do trading full-time, starting with a capital of 8,000 USD. In less than a year, my account grew to over 1.5 million USD. This is not luck from being chosen by the heavens, nor is it random luck. Behind it is a well-refined trading system that has been repeatedly honed.

Clear logic, rhythm control, risk management, post-trade review, strict execution—none can be missing. Without any one of these, all previous efforts are in vain.

Think about your current job. A fixed monthly salary, a side hustle earning a few hundred bucks, and your time isn’t truly yours, plus no income guarantee. The crypto market, in essence, is a scene of cognitive amplification. Using compound interest as leverage can truly open up a path for upward mobility in life.

But there’s a prerequisite: you must be willing to learn and also dedicate yourself to practice. The pitfalls in the crypto world are indeed many—emotional traps, FOMO traps, platform traps… one misstep can lead to a crash. But as long as you master strategies that can be practically implemented, this industry can become a real profession, even change your life trajectory.

My observation is: those who are eliminated in the crypto space are never the ones who can read charts, but rather those retail investors without a system.

Recently, many people asked me: "Can a few thousand USD in capital turn around?" I reply with one sentence: "Are you just trying to join the crowd and test the waters, or do you really want to fight for it?"

If you choose to fight, then follow the system. No stock tips, no signals—just step-by-step guidance to help you build your own trading system.

The market changes every day, but holding onto your principal and your original intention remains unchanged. Survive this cycle, and when the next market wave comes, you’ll be able to stand firm. Understand market laws, and live more clearly through the bull and bear transitions.
