I Had a 90% Win Rate — One Mistake Took It All Away.
For a trader, numbers can be dangerously comforting. Win rate. Profit streaks. Green days in a row. For weeks, my trading journal looked exactly like what most people dream of. I was winning more than 80–90% of my trades. Losses were small. Profits were consistent. Slowly but steadily, I grew my trading account from 50,000 PKR to nearly 120,000 PKR across November and early December.

This is not just another procedural step. It is the moment when crypto regulation shifts from political signaling to legislative mechanics.

In the final weeks of 2025, Wall Street’s attention was stolen not by the latest tech darling or AI powerhouse, but by a company whose products are far more familiar to hospitals than to smartphone users.

How a Smart-Home Pioneer Lost Its Edge: Roomba Maker iRobot Files for Bankruptcy
