I've seen too many people play leverage and compound their positions, turning a few thousand into nearly a million, only to get completely liquidated in one final trade and lose everything. This game is a thousand times more thrilling than just holding spot—either you reach financial freedom instantly, or you go straight back to square one overnight.

I've got real examples around me. One buddy was down to his last 1,000 bucks for living expenses, but managed to turn it into over 100,000 in a month using this strategy. Sounds like a myth? The logic is actually blunt and simple: max out the leverage, reinvest all profits, and stick to a single direction without looking back.

Start with $300 as seed money, and only open $10 positions with 100x leverage each time. Don't get greedy with your target—take profit as soon as you hit 1%. After a win, withdraw half to lock in some safety money, and keep rolling the rest. Do the math and you'll see the power: if you get it right 11 times in a row, $10 can become $10,000.

But what's reality? 90% of people fall into these traps: after making money, they can't bear to stop and want to go again; after losing, they refuse to accept it and double down to try to win it back; or they flip-flop between long and short positions, getting whipsawed by the market.

I've set some hard rules for myself—if I'm wrong on the direction, I immediately cut the loss; after 20 consecutive losses, I stop trading and take a break; if I compound up to $10,000, I must withdraw most of it so I'm not hypnotized by the numbers in my account. Just like in the recent one-way market, I turned $5,000 into $500,000 in a week, but you know what? I waited for months before making a move.

Compounding with leverage isn't something you can do every day—you have to wait for those rare chances when volatility is high and the trend is crystal clear, then go all-in. People still ask me if it's time to get in.

First, ask yourself three questions: Is current market volatility enough to feed your leverage? Is the one-way trend clear? If you make money, can you cash out and not get greedy?

If you can answer all three, go for it. If you're still hesitating, it means you haven't been beaten up by the market enough yet. Honestly, this path is like walking a tightrope—if you don't have the right mindset and iron discipline, you'd be better off just holding some spot. The market isn't short of risk-takers, it's short of survivors.
