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!!! These are strict rules that must be followed. Remember!!! Stick to your trading system and operate like a machine!!!
