@MagischKonijn Which are good ones

@OptionTrader365 Those are probably the worst rotations you can make right now

Tbf eth is in an uptrend ever since February. If we rally here, then what are the odds of a Q4 trap? "Cycle low" into lower low 2027

@onchartss Mstr gon dip

$COIN $MSTR charts have been cleaner than btc recently, and they say up

@PatientScot What is ur chart

$SOFI Daily... It caught the blue diamond (proceed with caution) signal yesterday by 2 cents. Now +3.7% today. Raging 🔷 Hoping it rejects the 50dma again and closes below it but weekly cipher signal has printed and barring a big downwards move tomorrow it will stick and ill be forced to buy more against my will...

@MagischKonijn I think this is true. Lets head into ai and dpace

Got rid of most stocks. Some crypto stocks have (slightly) higher levels, but already pumped 100% since February lows. Still bullish on GoPro, which imo is undervalued, so I kept that one with stop below D HL. To me, for crypto time starts to run out here. * February pump into CNY didn't happen * Idea of pump into beginning of WC didn't happen There's like 2 weeks left till WC and SpaceX IPO. Some rumors of 250 pardons during 19 june, which could be interesting. (Luna/ftx) I always favored higher prices for certain layer 1 coins that I expected to survive, thus stay(ed) optimistic. Reality is stock markets are going parabolic and hitting BCSs. Gold and silver imo topped aswell. (Same people that were trading memecoins in december 24 aped into gold this year.) RR is probably on a handful of coins. There's a massive amount of attention around Hype, Near and Lunc, but i feel like it's mostly a distraction to buy into the wrong coin/narrative (assuming some sort of pump)

@AffanKakar23974 Xrp? Which other crypto

@MarketMaestro1 HOw did you know to start the count on 1? Was that red line another count? Or because of a change of trend?

@kholov23 Yes

This dog is begging me to block him, should I block him ?

@Mariomnsr Whole lotta yapping bro. Chill with the ai

Few touched on the fact that holding cash is a position in itself so I won’t go any deeper in that. Now A strategy without a SL is a losing strategy. There’s no real way around that. However, there is one strict condition where trading without a SL can make sense: The position must be sized for zero(i.e Lottery Trade) What that means is simple… you mentally treat the entire position as if the capital deployed could completely disappear. You fully accept the possibility that the money is gone the moment you enter. Most people are not psychologically equipped to trade this way. In fact, this style of positioning creates some of the worst impulsive behaviors a trader can experience (I know because I went through it myself when I first started, and I’m sure many others have too at some point in their journey) Because of this, you cannot allocate a large percentage of your account to this strategy. The moment you do, risk management is thrown out the window and that’s where the real damage begins. This is exactly why inexperienced traders should avoid this framework entirely. More often than not, it gets used incorrectly and severely damages a trader psychologically, which ultimately stunts longterm growth. People love to say things like: “Just DCA all the way to the bear market lows.” Sure, that can work. But something working occasionally does not make it effective or sustainable. The issue is that most attempt this while using large portions of their capital. That’s what destroys them. If you are not using a SL and you are not treating the position as a “sized for zero” trade, several dangerous psychological patterns start appearing: > Loss Aversion Trading without a stop loss often means you are unwilling to accept being wrong. Over time, this silently infects your psychology and sends you into a destructive spiral. >> Poor Market Confidence It usually signals that you lack confidence in your market reads, entries, and timing. Instead of waiting for proper price action, you rely on “holding forever” to save the trade. >>> Sunk Cost Fallacy You become emotionally attached to losing positions because you’ve already invested so much. This leads to irrational decisions like repeatedly adding to losers often turning a bad position into a catastrophic one. How many of you have added to a losing trade only to lose even more afterward? That happens because the position was never truly sized for zero in the first place. Only a tiny portion of total capital should ever be exposed to this kind of strategy. Once you stop sizing properly, risk management completely disappears. But the financial risk is only part of the problem. The psychological damage becomes even worse. Seeing large unrealized losses pushes inexperienced traders into impulsive behavior: > averaging down recklessly >> tying up most or all of account in bad positions What comes next…. account destruction, destroyed savings, confidence thrown to the deep end… Ultimately months or years of setbacks. You see this happen over and over again in trading. Welcome to Pandora’s Box. The scary part is it does not just stop there. Even when the trade eventually recovers, the damage may already be done psychologically. Ex: Imagine holding a deeply negative position for months, finally getting back to breakeven, and closing out purely because the emotional stress became unbearable. Then you see price immediately pumps to your original targets. Flip the script, Imagine holding through all that pain only for price to collapse back down again afterward. Do you see how emotionally unstable this strategy becomes when oversized? That is why this style should only ever involve a very small percentage of capital. Yes, it can work. But that does not mean it is an effective strategy to build around. The biggest danger is that when traders see it work a few times, they start increasing size, over-risking, and eventually making it their core approach/strategy How many of you have round-tripped massive gains from previous cycles because you believed “it always comes back”? Now personally speaking, I do employ this strategy but only in a completely separate options account. I do this mainly for earnings season. The account is treated like casino money where I allow myself to be a full-blown degen. I’ll occasionally buy small call or put positions before earnings announcements on certain stocks. Yes, there’s still analysis involved when deciding whether to go long or short, but at the end of the day it remains a pure gamble.bThe odds are essentially 50/50. For instance, SNOW recently pumped around 40% in after hours trading after earnings (sadly I didn’t play it). But imagine being heavily positioned on the wrong side of that move without proper isolation or risk controls. That’s exactly why this type of strategy should never involve meaningful portions of your capital. So let me make this very clear: > If you do not fully understand what you’re doing, stay away from this style of positioning. >> The risk is not only financial, it is psychological. >>> The number of destructive mental patterns it creates is enormous. >>> The goal in trading is not just to make money once. The goal is to make money consistently. Consistency means surviving long enough to compound over time Real success in this game comes from discipline, and protecting both your capital and your psychology. Lastly, I want to make it clear that some people may mistake what I’m saying as being against investing. That’s not the case , I’ve always preached the importance of investing. The issue is that most people use the term “investing” loosely without having proper risk controls in place. Risk management doesn’t only apply to the investment itself. It also applies to your personal financial situation, your net worth, the size/ consistency of your income streams, and how much financial flexibility you actually have. All this determines how much risk you can realistically tolerate. This is why investing becomes psychologically easier for people with larger amounts of wealth. The personal and emotional impact of losses becomes smaller relative to their overall financial position. To put it into a very simplistic example: a billionaire can put $5m into 10 different projects without losing sleep over it because that only represent 5% of their net worth. If just one investment succeeds, it could potentially cover the losses from the others. That same 5% for your average earner might simply be the cost of a holiday to them. See how the scale changes everything. So yes, invest but properly, with risk management and context around your own financial position. (Marathon not a sprint)
