$50 Trading Contest Update - Balance now over $600 USD! Whew lad!
The Contest
So, a couple weeks ago I posted about a contest I was doing with some friends. This contest had us take just $50 and put it into a futures trading account. The winner is the one with the biggest account after Winter.
I am happy to report that my initial $50 account has grown to roughly $600 (thank you bull market)! This is in large part due to riding the BTC wave up. I also capitalized on a big XRP short when the lawsuit news broke and caught Litecoin at a very good price early on.
I think it's pretty amazing that I've managed to turn this account from just $50 to nearly $600. And I'm no expert trader or anything. I went with a very risky strategy early on. Now that I have some value to the account, I will be pursuing a bit more conservative approach.
Some bad news
Unfortunately, Binance is kicking me off their platform. So, I will be looking for a new home for this account.
I was considering Bybit as I used to trade there (they even sent me a cool boxing glove and robe set!) and their mobile and desktop interface are both great.
PrimeXBT is my other consideration. They are who I use for my primary exchange. I like that you can trade forex and stock indexes that settle in BTC. However, their crypto pairs are on the short list (BTC, LTC, ETH, XRP, & EOS only).
Anyone else have suggestions? I liked using Binance because they have a ton of altcoin/usdt future pairs that you can't find on most other futures exchanges.

Why Binance wants to kick you off?

They found out I'm from the US lol.
I've had the account for about 4 years now. And just yesterday I got a pop-up saying my account will be frozen in 14 days and to move to Binance.us which doesn't have futures trading.
