@yusoffkim my condolences brother.

hi im usually not the kind of person but anyway My mom passed away recently. she was the person that got me into trading When i was young we were really poor. She took a yolo on a house we couldnt afford, sold it to a private developer, and used the profits to pay off all our debts She gave me my first finance book (rich dad poor dad lol) and made me digest everything inside it. Since i could remember, she always asked what I would do with my first million, even when we didnt have two digits in the bank. When the russian ruble tanked during the invasion, she went turbo long and made off with a bunch. She never really spent it. She went for an upgrading course at the ripe old age of 55 to learn how to buy and sell distressed houses. Definition of 5x a year there's free money on the floor. She read every day and introduced me to hundreds of books and larger than life figures that shape how I think today. She challenged me at every decision, not because she liked it, but because she wanted me to be better. She encouraged me in all my passions (except art lmao, she's asian after all), and never asked me to confirm to anything society asked of me. So I guess, cheers mom. Thanks a bunch, and thanks for the memories. I'll try my best from here on out. Anyway, here's the flower she named herself after. She liked fruits and kimchi, and pink. Very girly woman.

good risk/reward for XPL, easy to know if wrong, big payout if right

Close enough lol x.com/trading_axe/st…

what if ETH wicks on an illiquid exchange within the next few days, similar to what happened with HYPE on Lighter lol

BTC and ETH are showing a bearish divergence on higher timeframes. Good chance the next few months are ugly.

@aaalexhl @NukidRedux no existing positions liquidated. who tf enters a long at 61$?

Sorry just so I understand this right Lighter is built on zk proofs, backed by Ethereum security guarantees, everything is finalized and non reversible And they somehow cascaded HYPE to $100, liquidated people on the way down, and just... deleted the candle from existence?

“expunge your mind of your previous ATH networth” as someone who prioritizes trend-trading, this has consistently been one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome after several years of experience, I can honestly say: it doesn’t get any easier — you just get better. there are 2 major haircuts I frequently must endure with my system / strategy: 1) the inevitable drawdown between pico-top and first cautionary signal. this is typically around -10-20% 2) the (potential) flukes/deviations/bull-traps before the next uptrending regime (variance) I will ALWAYS have to endure drawdown due to those things, and I’m fully aware of that the only thing that allows me the courage to embrace that drawdown is: the firm belief that the higher-lows in my portfolio will one day be matched with subsequent higher-highs which means there’s no need to focus on a previous ATH — I will surpass it soon enough. maybe I’m projecting, but the human mind is flawed: hypothetically speaking, even if my portfolio were up 10x, losing 10% of that (1x my prev. portfolio amt) is completely gut-wrenching; it almost feels impossible to glorify being up 9x — my monkey brain would rather fixate on the amount of money lost instead it requires conscious effort towards unlearning that poor mindset, but it’s incredibly rewarding I’ve previously had to larp as a stoic in order to trick myself into the correct mindset necessary to prosper. “fake it until you make it” but that ‘stoic’ mindset comes with beneficial side-effects: it makes ‘revenge-trading’ even more unappealing. there is no purpose in trying to force opportunities in the market; they will simply find their way to me, eventually if I never mustered up the maturity to do some self-reflection at some point along my journey, an alternative version of myself would’ve likely been ‘locked-in’ to the market as a desperate attempt to make back my losses from the 10/10 drop most recently that desperation would’ve stemmed from an insecurity in my own abilities to ever reach that networth ever again — likely only furthering the gap via a string of poor decisions made from a deteriorated mental-state the dichotomy between these two approaches to the market cannot be overstated, one is blissful; the other is torturous. I frequently remind myself that markets are excessively abundant with opportunity. “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” hope this helps.

Your biggest trading flaw is being a full-time trader. The more time you spend watching the screen, the worse your decision quality gets. In crypto especially, every chart is biased toward fear. You’ve been conditioned to believe any position can go to zero, and when you stare at candles long enough, that’s the only outcome your mind begins to see. Charts almost never make you bullish, because bullish moments are brief and rare. The overwhelming majority of the time you spend watching them is filled with hesitation, doubt, and pressure to sell. High-frequency watching creates fake information. A one-minute candle presents movement as meaning. Good process is low-frequency by design. Define the thesis, list the drivers, size the position to survive volatility, and limit how often you invite new decisions. You don’t need more updates. Check windows beat constant surveillance. Decision windows beat impulse. Aster is a clean example. Living inside its chart will keep you on edge all day. Step back, and the actual drivers are straightforward: 1. Spot listings still ahead on major exchanges 2. Buybacks still unannounced 3. UI/UX upgrades on the way 4. An L1 launch in the pipeline 5. A valuation gap versus HYPE yet to close, and the potential for a flippening narrative once the relative value clicks. That stack of unfinished work is where the payoff comes from. None of it improves because you watched the last 300 candles. Conviction survives in low-frequency environments. If the drivers are intact, the trade is intact. If a driver breaks, the trade changes. That is the only scoreboard that matters. Measure your position against catalysts, not against the color of the last candle. Your job is to stay aligned with the events that rerate the asset.
