Besides raw numbers, the profit chart shows a steady upward trajectory rather than sudden spikes, reflecting disciplined trading strategies. The trades are primarily short-term “Bitcoin Up or Down” positions, sometimes lasting only 15 minutes, with returns often exceeding 100% and occasionally surpassing 400%.
