Waiting for Those Wicks Taught Me Everything: My 50x Story With TRY/USDT

1. The Start: Small Money, Big Focus
Early 2024. I had only 50 USDT saved up. My goal was simple: survive.

That’s when I found the TRY/USDT order book on Gate. Liquidity was low, the spread would widen sometimes, and even at 3:00 AM it would throw sudden 1–2 level wicks. No one was watching it. Everyone was chasing BTC. I was memorizing the hours of those wicks.

9:00 AM, 2:30 PM, and between 1:00 and 4:00 AM. When banks closed, when news flow stopped, someone would panic sell. I was at the screen. I set alarms. I took 1–2 percent on each wick and got out. Sometimes 20 trades a day. I was sleepless, but I was learning: The market rewards tracking.

2. How 50x Happened

In one year, my capital went from 50 USDT to 2,500 USDT. 50x.

There was no magic. Only discipline. The TRY/USDT pair was volatile. Inflation news from Turkey, Fed decisions, weekend politics… everything hit that book first. And I was there.

That was my first big win. It taught me this: Money does not go to the person who looks at the chart. It goes to the person who lives the chart. If you do not wait for those wicks day and night, those wicks do not come to you. Knowing when and what hour they would come was worth more than any technical analysis.

3. March 2025: TRY/USDT Was Gone, Emptiness Came

I placed my last trade on March 28, 2025. Three days later the announcement came: TRY/USDT would be delisted.

It hurt. Because that was my school. The board that taught me discipline, patience, and risk control was gone. I felt lost for a week. “How will I make that kind of money now?” I asked. Because that was the only game I knew.

4. On Gate, Nothing Is the End: New Games Appear

Then I realized something. On Gate, the game never ends. You just level up.

TRY/USDT told me to “track.” So I stopped tracking and started “reading.”

I memorized 4h candle closes on BTC/USDT. I saw cycles in ETH/BTC. Then RWA arrived: NFLXON, TSLAON. Turns out the real wicks were there. When the U.S. market is closed and news hits, tokenized stocks wick 5 percent. My old TRY/USDT reflexes worked again.

What I learned is clear: The market changes, the player does not. Yesterday I waited for a 3:00 AM wick on TRY/USDT. Today I wait for a post-earnings wick on NFLXON. The logic is the same. The tracking is the same.

5. How I Win Now
1. I Still Hunt Volatility: I don’t sit on quiet books. I watch products that move on news. RWA, AI tokens, new listings. Wicks always exist. 2. I Don’t Depend on One Market: TRY/USDT was one shot. Now I have ten. If one fails, another works. 3. Not Leverage, Knowledge Multiplier: I made 50x with knowledge, not leverage. Same now. I study every new product on Gate on day one. The first to enter, the first to learn, wins.
Closing: I Was Sad, But I Grew

I was sad when TRY/USDT was removed. No lie. It was my first love. But Gate showed me this: Here, nothing is the end.

That pair left, but the discipline it taught me—“be awake at 3 AM”—stayed. Now I use that discipline in a market 20x bigger.

If you are stuck on one pair, one coin, let it go. On Gate the game does not end. A new map just opens.
