for the last 60 days, I decided to lock in and try to trade actively (for the first time ever) instead of solely focusing on art/creative.
my main objective here has and always will be to stay continuously learning—whatever that might look like at the time
unknowingly, I probably picked some of the most challenging market conditions, but I learned a lot from being glued to CT and charts in nearly all of my spare time.
here are some of my notes to self for the road ahead in case they’re helpful to anyone else:
•patience, focus, and lack of emotion are invaluable
•have both short-term and long-term setups. separating wallets by strategy is helpful
•be able to react quickly and assess risk. if you don’t have a plan, loss is inevitable
•it pays to pay attention, but not at the expense of mental health. as soon as that becomes negatively impacted, it’s time to reset. temet nosce
•following high profile traders closely can give you alpha, but DYOR - don’t blindly trust
•the day-to-day swings are influenced by macro, headlines, and US government reporting. (this is common sense in hindsight, but I never really paid attention.) knowing critical dates of reporting helps (ie fomc today)
•anytime the TL reads euphoria, it’s time to sell/take profits short-term. no exceptions
•my greatest conviction and set up still lies in DCAing BTC—stress-free, long term outlook, still feel like I’m accomplishing something regardless of ups and downs
for me it’s been worth taking notes along the way so that I can improve and establish goals
🫡 if you’re playing the game—survive, stay hopeful and
