About this video

This is the story of how I made $100K in 1 night of trading in college, and how I ended up making $2M trading before I graduated. I'll cover the trade setup, the exact strategy I used, and how this one trade changed my trading psychology and trading career completely. This isn't about luck, it's about risk management, timing, and lessons I learned the hard way.
