Starting from December 30th, the "100U for 1000U" challenge begins. I calculated that with a daily compound interest of 10%, it is possible to reach 10,000 in 49 days. Using 10 days to double the capital, but I officially finished yesterday.

I have always loved long positions, but during a sharp market rise, I opened short positions and did not set a stop-loss. Why didn't I set a stop-loss? I was under the illusion that I could turn it around.
Today, January 15, 2026, I am starting the challenge again. This is the first day; I opened only two trades: one on Ethereum — short, profit of 80 points; one long — unknown, but profit around 10 points. All trades are strictly with small stop-losses. Going forward, I will categorically not hold positions without a stop-loss. I will definitely set a stop-loss when opening. If I have three consecutive losing trades — I will not trade anymore for that day!
These are strict rules, and they must be followed. Remember!

Starting December 30th, the U challenge to reach 10,000 U. I calculated that with a daily compound interest of 10%, it would take only 49 days to reach 10,000. I used 10 days to triple my investment, but it officially ended yesterday.
I have always preferred long positions, but during this explosive rally, I went short instead, and I didn't set stop-losses. Why didn't I set stop-losses? I still had some luck on my side, always thinking I could hold on and recover.
Today, January 15, 2026, I am starting the challenge again. Today is the first day. I only opened two trades: one short on Ethereum with a profit of 80 points, and one long with an unknown profit of 10 points. Both had strict small stop-losses. From now on, I will never hold a position without a stop-loss. Every trade must have a stop-loss set. If I lose three consecutive trades in a day, I will stop trading for the day!!!
