How Luna Trades Turned $100 Into $250,00...

Austin Silver
About this episode

In this episode of The Day Trading Show, Luna shares his incredible journey from farming and food trucks to making and losing fortunes in crypto, ultimately finding his passion in futures trading and content creation.

He details how reading the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2017 sparked his curiosity, leading to wild swings of success and failure—from turning $100 into $250K, losing 70 BTC in a single trade, to building back from $12K to six figures. Luna emphasizes radical transparency, showing his tax returns, and reflecting on lessons learned—like the importance of risk management, journaling, and treating trading like a business.
