hi, i’m cashy.
my journey on @Polymarket started about a year ago, with a mere $200 deposit, after watching an instagram ad.
one year later, polymarket has become my main income stream, netting over $170,000 profit ytd.
feel free to join me as i share my thoughts, wins, losses and bits of wisdom from a trader who started from the bottom and is pursuing his dream.
today conludes the most profitable day in my career, after months of dedicated work building my small osint empire, it finally paid off.
I started the day with a humble $50,000 profit, and managed to make an extra $110,000 by being sharp on news coming out.
good night, for now.
i lost $15k in what turned to be the most significant day of my Polymarket career, shaping my trading strategy going forward.
it was December 2024. i have been swinging the Israel invade Syria market for a couple weeks. a few uma disputes have been going on, resolving p4 almost unanimously every time.
i decided to size up, and put a large sum into an N position. i had little understanding of polymarket at the time, and my p&l was around $40k. this means around 40% of my all-time profits was invested into this.
another dispute came around. this time, polymarket didn't let it play out, and decided to intervene. a clarification had been issued: israel has indeed invaded syria, market should resolve Y.
over $15,000 lost in a single day. i was devastated, really. i had to take some time off.
but then it occurred to me: it is nothing but a lesson. i must keep trading. just shift and alter my style to avoid similar blunders in the future. i refrained from trading dispute-heavy markets, and made sure i stayed away from clarification-potential markets.
4 months later, i hit the same milestone that I had hit in that December. i successfully re-gained the funds. it was a tremendous feeling.
what i want you guys to take from this: losses are important. feeling the pain of losing is crucial. and those make us better traders.
don't stop trading!
let's talk @polymarket-life balance.
prediction markets are a 24/7/365 enterprise. we are placing bets on real-life events, and naturally, real life happens all the time.
this means we have to monitor the situation closely as things develop in order for our positions (worth $) to stay relevant.
many things happened in my personal life this year: i took a one-month vacation to enjoy my profits. my grandfather passed away. my country had been in constant war. i had to juggle between all those things, whether they were good or bad, to keep my business as profitable as possible.
it wasn't easy. but i think 3 main take aways from 2025 which had been my, by far, most action-filled year since I was born:
- taking breaks is a good thing. you will leave money on the table. adjust your portfolio to more safe positions so you keep earning while having a mind free of worries to enjoy your time off.
- whenever you are trading: take it to the full extent. no half measures: when we work, we work hard. when we rest, we rest hard. i truly believe being total in this scenario is the correct play.
- be grateful for everything you have achieved so far. you have come a long way, and there's so much more coming in 2026.
happy holidays everybody, thank you for reading.
this weekend, i was able to finally claim a big milestone: $200,000 in profits on @polymarket. just a little over 365 days of trading.
it's been exactly 6 months since i hit $100,000 in profit today. trading has been going so well and i'm very grateful for that.
this is a friendly reminder for you guys to keep chasing your dreams - prediction markets are the future. they really are. and we are so early!
love you all.
my net profit in polymarket exceeded $194,000 today.
but let’s break it down:
total gains $228,575
total loss $33,776
profit-to-gain ratio roughly 85%, or 6:1. this is significantly higher than average.
warren buffet once said:
the #1 rule of investing is “don't lose money,” and the #2 is “never forget the first rule”.
it may sound obvious, but take a second to think about it.
protecting capital is key:
• don’t revenge trade
• don’t size up without a clear edge
• never force a trade because you’re bored
you don’t need constant action.
you need discipline, patience, and the ability to sit on your cash while others gamble.
the trades will come.
your only job is to be ready and not bleed out before they arrive.
don’t lose money.
i made over $1,000 daily on @polymarket this month, and i’ll explain how.
the answer is edge. no, i don’t edge to markets. edge means always being on the look for an advantage.
i never seek a fair fight. polymarket isn’t a casino, and i don’t treat it as gambling; it is a pvp arena. you either profit or someone profits on your back.
my number one advice is always look for the edge. the information gap. the market where you have the extra knowledge, that secret source, that unknown advantage.
find your edge.
