Have you ever stuck to 0.5% risk per trade the ENTIRE eval and still hit max drawdown? Didn't think so. You lose a few in a row, panic, bet the house to make it back. That's how you blow up. Not the losing streak. It's always self sabotage. Stop speed running your breach.

no one gon to jail for open border policies (treason, essentially) one will for shidcoining (basic fraud) either both r just business as usual ^-^ (unrelated video bout nothing ever happens)

never short a grinding structure upwards, only short liquidation clusters if you think it mean reverts or exhaustion/failed retests of a structure break blinding shorting any move up "just because it has to come down" is literally setting your money on fire. A potential example of a structure & retest break Those who don't measure their trades, the market will measure them for you. You can win 99,9% of the time if u avg in/avg out/wtv and not have an invalidation but it only takes 1 trade to wipe you all out

US-IRAN TALKS: “POSITIVE” SIGNALS EMERGE: FOX A senior U.S. official says Washington is in direct contact with Iran, describing the talks as “positive” and suggesting a possible breakthrough could come as soon as today. The comments signal cautious optimism, though major gaps remain in broader negotiations.

New traders get told that they have to have specific 'setups' So they spend all day back-testing some random price pattern and shove a couple of indicators in there for good measure, and then fire risk into the book as soon as it 'triggers' In reality the vast majority of your returns as a crypto trader most likely won't be set up-driven but rather regime-driven Most of the time the market does mostly nothing And if you try to force your set ups in the wrong regime, then you'll just get bad results (e.g. momentum trading breakouts in a choppy market) So I think the first useful port of call is at least some broad sense of what type of regime the market is in This doesn't need to be complicated: you can just look at the chart, use some basic moving averages or even common sense to get an understanding of trending, mean-reverting, momentum, catalyst-based, volatility compression/expansion etc (complexity can be layered in later if required) Each regime should then have specific playbooks or set ups associated with it For example if the market is trending then you might adjust to trade shallower pullbacks, lower time frames, faster moving averages, less drastic momentum resets etc. That same so-called set up would get you absolutely cooked in a choppy market In other words the super TLDR is that the correct hierarchy is: 1. Regime is the first filter 2. Setup is tied to the regime 3. Execution nuances As a practical example: The current regime is technically defined as "soul-crushing dogshit" so the correct setup is to develop a nicotine and video game addiction Hope this helps

$BTC I'm a firm believer that every Bitcoin top on the way to $1M is only temporary, but something tells me we won't be getting a new one anytime soon.

Crypto easy money era has ended. Historically, most easy money periods last 3-7 years: - California Gold Rush lasted 7 years. - Tulip mania lasted 3 - The dot-com bubble about 5 years before the Nasdaq dumped by 78% - Japan's bubble was 6 years, then Nikkei took 34 years to recover So most speculative booms in history last 3-7 years. Crypto easy money started in 2017 with ICOs. Then DeFi summer 2020. NFTs in 2021. Airdrops. Points farming. Memecoins. That's ~8 years of easy money. We are already past that as every easy money model has been discovered, exploited, or arbitraged to max competition. Philosophical hard-forks like BTC -> BTC Gold or ETH -> ETH classic are over as crypto ossified not just technically. ICOs got regulated. Airdrops get farmed by industrialized sybils. Memecoin launches went from community fun projects to extraction tools. The gold rush analogy seems quite good here as FOMOs end the same way: Surface deposits get exhausted and then industrial mining takes over. (Literally same happened to BTC mining moving from retail to institutions who even IPOed from BTC mining.) So here’s where crypto is now: TradFi suits moving in, tokenization, RWAs, corpo-sloppo permissioned chains, and regulation. The Trump family & insiders are the last to get easy money from crypto. For retail, the surface easy money gold picking is gone. What's left to earn requires real infra, real users, real revenue which means more specialization, specific knowledge and REAL hard effort. Not sure how many of us who got easy money are ready to grind harder now. So many builders, KOLs, projects are extracting as much as they (we) can before leaving crypto coz adapting to the new hard-money period is gonna be hard. Question is: where to pivot for easy money? Asking for a friend.

*IRAN: STRAIT WON'T REOPEN BASED ON TRUMP'S 'ABSURD' DISPLAYS: BBG

Memecoins have lowkey been soulless ever since, amongst other things, but the abandonment of Photoshop. People used to photoshop memes, so they all were a little rough around the edges, and that's what gave them their charm. Now the production quality is too high for its own good. There's a big opportunity for a memecoin to just start photoshopping dank memes again.
