it's a bull market now, all I do is long alt futures but the game is tough. things don't go up in a straight line, pull backs can finish you off. well explained jones, however doing what you have written is very hard. it's the psychology that's hardest of all. my game plan is to allocate heavy into my preferred alts and hope for the best when the altseason comes. forget about DCA, now is the time to ape big into 2-3 coins, one 10x can set you up for life

True. If it was easy everyone would do it and very few people make money long term in trading. Those that do make millions.

You trade altcoin futures?d'oh! You are a braver (more skilled) man than I. I trade altcoins but without leverage. The only futures I would trade are bitcoin futures. Alts are twice as risky because there is coin-specific risk and bitcoin risk. That's two layers of risk to deal with, which doubles your chances of getting stopped out even when you spot good set-ups. If it works for you longterm congratulations. I might borrow some tips. Personally, I will only start trading altcoin futures when they decouple from bitcoin i.e when bitcoin risk ceases to exist. As of now, if bitcoin dumps, 99% of the alts dump too so it's not a game I would risk playing with leverage.

DCA is not a strategy Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly . It only works during the early stages of a bull market. The problem is, nobody knows how long a bull market will last. Imagine people who dollar cost averaged alts in Dec 2017 they are still underwater 3 years later. DCA is the type of knowledge availed to the retail market. It won't make you money unless you are very lucky to invest early in a bull market. In other words, you are putting yourself at the mercy of the market.

2-3 coins can offer massive gains, or a massive drawdown. That's extremely poor risk management. Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly . On the flip side, you can hit a home run for the same reason (poor risk management) which then reinforces bad behavior because you get positive affirmation for poor risk management. So, don't try it with your life-savings. I will tell you a short story that happened about 2-3 weeks ago. I had a position on a coin STRAT on binance. The coin announced a migration to another chain or something (I'm not blockchain tech savvy). Trading was postponed for a week or so. When trading resumed, the coin crashed like 50% and was trading under a new ticker symbol. Now, imagine if I hadn't managed risk well. That would have been a 25% drawdown if I had the entire blockfolio in 2 coins. Shitcoins also get hacked often etc and unless you are an insider, you never know the integrity of the developers.

I would ask any trader, before they begin trading, whether they have a strategy with a positive expectancy/statistical edge, because that's the only way to make money long term in markets. Trading is a mathematical endeavor. Any pro will tell you his win rate, risk-reward, and maximum drawdown. Anyone who can't tell you those figures is a typical retail trader/gambler. Gamblers make a lot of money but they eventually lose it to the house in the long run. Most retail traders who made money in 2017 gave it all back in 2018 and 2019. Everyone makes money in the short term. Only professionals make and keep the money long term.

Everything points towards institutional buying on a massive scale. That's why only BTC is pumping as alts remain in the blood basement. The smart money is getting in en masse.

Everyone is waiting for a dip to buy Laughing out loudly



Will you buy at 15k?? You're a braver man than I Applause


12 days later. $17,000 on exchanges.

Network effect kicking in.
Profit-takers, shorters and miner selloff not enough to fill the buy demand.

......and Bitcoin has only been above this price point for 10 days throughout its entire history

Yes, it can crash 30% before breaching ATH. But what are the odds?



$19000.

Lol. There are no brakes on this thing. Laughing out loudly

Just a few more hundred dollars and it breaks the ATH.

And Bitcoin has only traded above this point on one day in its entire history. Ever.

I exited BTC too early. I had done my calculations and concluded that a further run above the 15k level was highly unlikely. Obviously, I was wrong. BTC had taken some steroids as alts were chilling in the blood basement.

The good part of the story is that I loaded up heavily on alts at the blood basement and ground floor when nobody wanted to buy. So, I have ended up performing better than I would have on the BTC trade Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

Now that we are in the seventh floor, the plan is to offload to the herd who will fomo in bigly in the twentieth floor and let them enjoy the free-fall back to the basement Drool

I just had a stale block of trades. A stale block of trades usually happens when we are near a swing top. It is basically a number of trades (depending on how you size) that fails to generate a profit even when you have a strategy with a statistical edge. E.g, if you allocate 10% on each trade, and after 10 trades you fail to make a profit overall, that's a stale block of trades. I used 10 trades as an example for simplicity reasons. Either we will experience a strong pullback, or the market has topped for this cycle after 7 green weekly candles in a row. I will take a couple of days off from trading and see whether the market will show its hand. Remember it's musical chairs and you don't want to be standing when the music stops.

Forgive my ignorance... but of BTC is an alternative/new currency to repace the centralized currency system aka federal/central banks, why are we using the centralized currencies to to buy and sell BTC? Can we buy BTC using BTCLaughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

I can see it now but will not speculate on BTC even with a single cent. I would rather buy myself a $1000 whiskey, drink it, piss it than invest the same money in BTC expecting a return.

Warren Buffet called bitcoin "Rat poison squared" when it was trading at around $9000

27/12/2020 BTC smashed through 27k.

Bitcoin total market cap: 513 billion
Berkshire Hathaway market cap: 531 billion

If we end the year with Bitcoin shooting past BRK there'll be a lot of "I told you so"s going around.

BTC hitting 28k, ETH is just starting to pick up steam and the alt markets will explode in Jan 21. My man Jones got swallowed by the chop it seems.
