the market is 110% manipulated and fake, every pump is a carefully calculated move by highly intelligent people with essentially unlimited resources to suck money out of our individual hands, how the fuck can we credibly stay in this game and expect to come out alive?
How can any normie actually make a profit when up against forces such as this? Surely we can not.
you really don't know how to scalp trades? i have 1btc and i make atleast 1% daily which is $90 right now, but unlike you i dont care about dollar value, only btc profits. you'll never make it in crypto, normie.
You can't. It's a giant ponzi scheme.
Save your money King and get into the drug game, it's risky as hell but at least the coins you earn won't flatline.
That's why I moved 50% of my funds in LINK. I'm fucking done looking at the charts calculating small percentages all for what? When LINK goes to $7 I'll be fucking happy as fuck.
>you really don't know how to scalp trades? i have 1btc and i make atleast 1% daily which is $90 right now, but unlike you i dont care about dollar value, only btc profits. you'll never make it in crypto, normie.
Day trading is a fucking meme, lamo. That's the fastest way of all to get wrecked.
If I could make 1% daily on a stack like mine I'd be pretty well off, but that's the fastest way to get BTFO.
Try to predict those whale movement.
After looking at the chart for a while, you will able to predict at least 70% of those very visible pumps and dump shits that they always do and just ride along with them.
so you dont know how to day trade then. i have a whole folder of my btc progress catching breakouts and scalping from .38btc in march to 1.02btc now, all from day trading.
This.
Learn how the market moves regardless of the manipulation.
The manipulation got more obvious recently and it threw me off for a moment cause the pattern changed a bit. Now I learned.
Take the base of the pump, add around 30% , if you missed the beginning wait for the price to drop to that level. Buy (I'm not a day trader so I'm not sure how to make the money during the "accumulation" phase)
If you didn't miss the pump ride it and look for the beginnings of the drop. Sell
Does this involve sitting and staring at a chart all day? Sounds pretty heavy going.
Also, when major alts have all 2-3x recently, how can small trades beat that?
yeah now you can safely hodl almost any coin, but i was still racking in btc while you were losing through the bear market by your great hodling strategy. just know when to play the market, and scalping will always guarantee profits whether bear or bull market.
No. That's why I'm doing it. I'm not a day trader.
But if you look at the chart you can figure out where the price is going so you set up your buy/sell prices and leave it be and check to confirm every now and then. These moves take days/hours so you have time.
>>small trades
What you mean by that?
I accumulate BTC during the dip, and then buy alts that I hold also during the dip. Then sell @bull with profit. Both alts and BTC
Need to add: sell @bull both alts and BTC but mot at the same time of course.
You need to put an effort at first and you just kinda get it after a while, just don't get greedy and try to get out at the top like the whale or you gonna get rekted by them.
Get out when you get sizeable profit around 30-50%, I basically start with 250$ and managed to make it into $5k in one trade by getting out at the right time and avoid getting greedy with my out timing.
>highly intelligent people
no. they literally plan pumps and dumps based on calander events and meme ta. It's astonishing just how predictable this market can be at times. If you get the psychological part of trading down the technicals are easy.
>I accumulate BTC during the dip, and then buy alts that I hold also during the dip. Then sell @bull with profit. Both alts and BTC
What time scale are you talking about? Months long, or individual dips? And you buy btc with new fiat, you mean?
Sell when, at a high... but then the high keeps high'ening, lol.
I tried trading wan, ont, eos lately but got cucked so hard compared to just holding those monsters.
Anyone invested in TE-Food? Looks like a really good project for such a low price.
we are falling :(((((
Also need to add, in bull market try to find the most shillest coin by twitter, biz and reddit and avoid it altogether.
These fuckers just want to get out by dragging other people into their position so get far away from them or you gonna held that bag for so fkn long like those linkies.
There is an easy way to tell when market makers are accumulated/distributing. It's fairly obvious once you know it, and it's extremely simple to benefit from. No, I'm not telling you.
Just don't get fkn greedy by holding when you already getting like 30-50% profit.
You are in this game for fkn long time and instant millionaire in this game is either in those p&d group or get fkn lucky.
Always TP out when you got profit even if you suspect the coin going to go up. It's better to get 50% justed by TP'ing out rather than 100% justed and died there.
>we
Speak for yourself. And yes ofcourse the more intelligent people will make money of the dumb ones. If that anoys or upsets you, welcome to the real world unfiltered from political correctness and rainbow color priveleges.
And yet none of these TA guys ever get rich.Its always the holders.TA is a meme.
you just have to know when to hodl and day trade. hodl is the strategy right now, but what about these past 3 months? was hodling the best strategy?
>>time scale
Days. Because the big green dildos appear based on I sell BTC @my target for USDT at the top of the dildo or there about in the "accumulation phase" and wait for the dip. Use that USDT to buy.
At the same time I wait for the alts to dip( when BTC moves up or down most alts dip, only on sideways movements do the go up in sats) buy alts with BTC on the dip.
I don't think in $$ only sats though.
When BTC moves sideways alts go up.
When the move up exceeds 20% profit I sell the alts for BTC- I know it's going to dip/or move higher so I adjust.
Look you can hold your alts and BTC and maybe they will go up. But the trading is a way to speed up the process and also a way to have BTC ETH and USDT on hand always in the dip anticipation.
When BTC goes hard down alts get fucked, so you want to have USDT or BTC, not alts at that moment.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining all of this in the way that is understandeable, but that's the best I can do.
This is a market that requires you to be able to change the strategy in 1 second.
Right, I'm not particularly clever with these things. And every day there's more and more I realise I didn't know, and how scary the whole space really is. I feel lucky to have any money left at all...
Yea, I am unconvinced that TA/charting/day trading returns a predictable profit. Blind luck and hodling is prob the only way IRL.
These manipulators must love me because im up 500k since last year
How did that happen - were you in some lucky alts last year?
Yes they have favourites.
Manipulation goes both ways, I don't get why people complain about it only on the way down.
How much time do you spend sat at the computer doing this stuff, though?
>no. they literally plan pumps and dumps based on calander events and meme ta. It's astonishing just how predictable this market can be at times. If you get the psychological part of trading down the technicals are easy.
I often spot what I think are signs of a pump incoming, but I pussy out and don't really take the opportunity. They always end up right, desu - unless something unexpected happens like a bit BTC move, etc.Otherwise I imagine I can see which coin is due for a pump sooner than others.
News is getting harder to trade, though - they are pumping earlier and earlier, weeks in advance, and then bleeding it out as the event comes closer.
>what about these past 3 months? was hodling the best strategy?
Hodling bitcoin, buying cheap alts and doing ICOs. That was the strategy for the bear market, it turns out.
When I trade a few hours. But I trade really about 2-3x a week. Then I have alerts with price targets and check on it on my phone when something goes up/down. Also I use my phone a lot lately to trade too.
Most of times I just adjust my sell/buy orders on the phone depending on the market.
I have a life outside of cryptos and I did not put anything that I can lose in it.
I started last year in December and I did 5x my initial so far. Learned on the go.
