🤖 For a long time, bots were my main tool.

Exchange bots, automated strategies, algorithms — I tried different
approaches, studied settings, tested on real markets. This yielded
results, but inside I always had the feeling: I want to understand the market
more deeply. Not just to make money — but to understand how it works at
a professional level.
⚡ Then I got excited about arbitrage. The idea of using price differences between exchanges seemed elegant and logical to me.
💡 Sometimes the most valuable resource is not an article or a course, but
the right person in the right place. I kept searching — and eventually
found someone.
📞 One day I managed to get in touch with a hedge fund.
Not through a famous name or connections — through persistent searching and readiness
to act. I reached out, shared my experience in mining, trading,
working with bots. And I got the opportunity I dreamed of: to join
the team as a market maker.
🔄 This changed my view of trading.
Market making is not just buying and selling. It’s managing
liquidity, working with the spread, understanding the order book depth, reacting to
market movements in real time. A professional level, where every decision is justified and every position is calculated.
🚀 Over two years working as a market maker on centralized exchanges, I
gained experience that cannot be bought in any course. The market became
understood from the inside — and that changed everything: how I think, how I trade, how I see
opportunities.
🎯 Friends, the main lesson of this story: don’t stop at what you already know. Bots are good. Understanding the market is better. #MyGateTradeStory @Gate_Square
