honestly trading is not my edge and not how I made most of my net worth
I use it mostly for downside protection and risk sizing
Aka if I am generally bullish I take more risk and vice versa, but I don't long/short majors with size
writing this because people get annoyed at me for being "bearish at the bottom"
idc if I miss the inflection point in markets
I have some assets I want to own long term, and some I want to own temporarily
my edge is being able to maximize my returns on the temp stuff
so when I see something that makes a lot of sense I capitalize on it super heavy
sometimes posting charts and observing sentiment is very useful, but its not an easy way to make money and literally everyone is wrong a lot
the actual skill is sizing / risk management
get good at that and nothing else matters
not sure why this isnt talked about more, but its very very rare that anyone consistently can call directional moves on any low-med time frames
most people cant trade, me included
but if you learn position sizing, asset selection and risk management
you can do meh most of the time, even lose most of the time
but the times you are right more than make up for it
so if you follow me and I post a chart, its an idea, maybe even wishful thinking
but if you want "alpha" its not that from me
most of my net worth is in long term plays and i grow a small pile into a not so small pile and rinse and repeat
have gone from 100k to 1-2M more than 3 times now
i wish it was from "trading"
but in reality it is catching narratives and the meat of the moves, I am usually not super early and also chop myself even when I am right with an idea
the point I am making is to not pretend, the market will humble you
know what you are good at, and maximize that well working on mitigating/improving what you are weak on
and to not follow me for directional calls on majors lol, its fun to have ideas and gauge sentiment
but picking spots and ripping it hard is what I am good at + never blowing up
so idk if "picking spots" is trading
but I almost never buy/sell with size because of a chart, like the recent PUMP>ASTER>XPL>ZEC run was because they made a lot of sense, narrative wise
I wish I could directionally trade, if I could I would do it with my long term stuff, I don't though, I just hold it long term
if i was maximally efficient I just wouldn't do anything until "balls tingled" but I find that hard to and is something i am working on
if you want to try to make it via trading, suggest paying attention to guys that made it that way, like Mayne for example
