This month's trading journey has been quite bumpy. I initially invested $500, and as the market cap rose to $820, I ended up losing $1000 in December. The spot holdings have basically recovered the losses, but this lesson reminds me that I still need to rely on leverage in contracts to turn things around.

Honestly, my current goal is very clear—reach $2000 in the first phase, and if the pace is right, push to $5000, with the ultimate target set at $10,000. It may seem ambitious, but based on recent trends of BTC and ETH, there are still opportunities. The key is to control the leverage ratio well and avoid repeating past mistakes.

The volatility range of BTC and ETH has been pretty good lately, especially ETH's recent rebounds, which provided many opportunities. My strategy is to position at key points, letting contract positions follow the market rhythm. Of course, risk management always comes first, and strict discipline in cutting losses and taking profits must be maintained. The next step depends on the market performance.
