“Trading is not only a marathon. I prefer to sprint all out.”
On the leaderboard of the #DooTrader Charity Trading Cup, one name stands far above the rest.
Wei Tengfei, a trader from China, has delivered a staggering 1518.36% return, nearly double that of the runner-up. In a highly competitive global trading arena, that kind of performance does not go unnoticed.
Unlike the steady and disciplined Randhawa Aruna we interviewed earlier, Wei represents the other side of trading.
Where Aruna focuses on risk control, Wei embraces calculated aggression.
But one question stood out:
How does a trader survive a strategy that extreme?
To find out, D Prime invited Wei Tengfei for an exclusive interview.
#DooTrader Profile

Exclusive Interview: Trading at the Edge
A 15x Return — With 90% Drawdown
D Prime: A 15x return, almost double the runner-up, is extraordinary. How do you feel?
Wei Tengfei: It feels exciting. But you know it is very risky.
Risky is an understatement.
At one point during the competition, his maximum drawdown reached 90%.
D Prime: That is significant. Were you concerned?
Wei Tengfei: No. It was within my expectations.
This mindset alone separates Wei from most traders.
For him, volatility is not fear. It is opportunity.
Precision Over Indicators
Wei’s approach is fundamentally different from traditional retail trading.
D Prime: Your entries are extremely accurate. What indicators do you use?
Wei Tengfei: I do not use indicators. I rely on footprint charts and sometimes the order book. I read the order flow.
After a decade of studying market structure, he developed the ability to interpret liquidity and execution patterns in real time.
That skill enables his preferred style:
Fast entries.
Fast exits.
High conviction.
He thrives in volatility.
Going Big When Conviction Is High
Wei believes position size matters but only when the opportunity is clear.
If confidence is strong, he increases exposure significantly.
His philosophy is direct:
Risk and return move together.
Many traders reduce position size out of fear of drawdowns. Wei sees risk differently.
To him, risk is not about position size.
It is about market understanding.
“If I believe it is an opportunity, I go in heavy without hesitation.”
He is fully prepared for extreme outcomes.
Either significant gain or complete loss.
That level of acceptance changes how decisions are made.
Building Psychological Endurance
This mindset was not built overnight.
Wei openly admits:
He has blown accounts before.
He has experienced emotional breakdowns.
He has traded recklessly trying to recover losses.
Over time, repeated exposure to extreme market swings built psychological tolerance.
Eventually, 90% drawdowns stopped feeling shocking.
They became part of the process.
That resilience allows him to stay calm under pressure even in a global trading competition.
Preferred Markets: Gold and Crypto
Wei primarily trades on the MT5 platform and focuses on highly volatile instruments.
His favorites:
Gold benefits from geopolitical uncertainty and macro shifts.
Cryptocurrencies offer large intraday volatility.
For a trader who thrives on momentum and rapid execution, these markets provide ideal conditions.
Advice for Beginner Traders
Wei’s strategy is not for everyone.
He makes that clear.
His tips:
- Train your psychological tolerance.
If a 20% drawdown makes your hands shake, avoid scalping.
- Have a strict plan.
High returns are not gambling. They come from aggressive leverage applied to high-conviction setups.
- Build experience.
Ten years of market exposure cannot be replaced by confidence alone. Many beginners think they have intuition but they are guessing.
“Experience builds clarity. Without it, risk becomes gambling.”
Two Sides of the Same Market
If Randhawa Aruna represents defensive trading discipline, Wei Tengfei represents offensive conviction.
Behind his 1518.36% return are:
- Order flow expertise
- High-risk tolerance
- Emotional resilience
- Decisive execution
On the #DooTrader Charity Trading Cup stage, this contrast makes the competition compelling.
One trader scales gradually.
One trader strikes aggressively.
Both operate with conviction.
The real question now:
Can Wei Tengfei sustain this explosive momentum through the final rounds?
We will be watching closely.
