Case Study | Perps
I’ve never traded with leverage in my life. My approach was always either swing investing or long-term investing. Although I studied under several mentors, I never actively put their lessons into practice. Yet, within less than two weeks, I became profitable and was able to make what the average consultant earns in two years within just three months. This kind of success is rare—most traders struggle for months, and only a limited percentage become profitable after six months. The markets can be unforgiving, and without a deep connection between mind, gut, and strategy, many are left chasing illusions.
For me, trading wasn’t just about technical analysis or market trends. During this period, I experienced a profound alignment between my mind and gut, my thoughts and feelings—something I hadn’t felt since competing in national swimming championships decades ago. It felt like I was in a flow, with my brain and gut communicating on an electromagnetic level.
“I knew exactly what I wanted, and the results felt almost miraculous.”
However, this intense alignment came at a cost—it was exhausting, and burnout was lurking, threatening to derail me (as I reflect on my longevity journey). The challenge is maintaining this alignment, especially when the intensity starts to wear you down.
It’s a reminder:
“Whenever I lose sight of this alignment, when I stop consciously practicing my longevity and quantum journey, everything can quickly unravel.”
