i am so fucking bullish on the future of perps

$2k -> $7.5k I'm ~40% towards my target of trading my @QFEX account from $2k to $20k My most recent trades were two successful shorts 1. Shorted $SPCX after it's large pump on the 21st 2. Shorted $CRCL after it broke $90 I am now building a long position on $NVDA due to long term trend lines (and generally bullish on selling shovels in a gold rush)

$2k to $20k trading journey Part 8 Conviction. That's a core necessity for trading. Last week I almost wiped out all of my profits with a large $SPCX rally but my thesis on $SPCX didn't change Kept holding and went from down multiple thousand back into the green whilst also earning some funding I now trimmed down my position to ~$10k notional and realised some profits Next I'll go back to trading $CRCL some more

Live trading competitions are everywhere now after going viral at KBW 2025 They are some of the most fun events but with so many brands now working on them they probably lose EV over time (less unique/eye-catching) That creates room for somebody to come up with the next novel GTM strategy (especially IRL) to onboard traders If you're a marketing agency and come up with a strong idea I feel like it is almost a free pitch. Take inspo from Web2 and Gen-Z

$2k to $20k trading journey Part 7 Still net profitable but have my first very underwater position after this $SPCX rally It's very ironic given the comments I made on Day 1: "markets don't always trade logically (especially when it comes to Elon)" Investors arguing that this is "unusually cheap" at a $2.2T valuation is insane to me Imma cope and keep this trade open, ride or die

$2k to $20k trading journey Part 6 Officially made it to 5 big ones, 5 stacks, 5 large, $5000 Spent a couple days this week underwater on a $CRCL position but just exited at +$500 Feel like swing trading equities is lowkey much easier than crypto Yet to close at a loss Top 100 trader on @QFEX, DM me if you want extra perks

There are 2 easy ways to earn from trading in crypto with 0 net exposure 1. Buy spot, sell perp - Find an asset that trades on spot and on perps platforms like @QFEX, e.g. gold - Check the perp market for a positive funding rate, meaning that long positions pay short positions, let's use 20% APY as an example - Buy $1,000 gold in spot and short $1,000 in perps and you are now earning $200 or 10% on your capital without exposure to the price movement 2. Buy perp, sell perp - This is the slightly more advanced version of option 1 as it requires more tracking of funding rates - Basically just find an asset that has a large difference in funding rates across two perps platforms - Open a long on the venue with the lower rate and a short on the higher rate, and earn the difference There are lots of tools out there you can use from people like @cryppimagic or @0xLoris

$2k to $20k trading journey Part 3 Current PnL: +$1,400 Opened a long on $SNDK and took profit at +$360 across two trades Next position is a short on $MSTR entered at $163.25 https://t.co/ennJqhOehr
