This will be my last post for a long time. I’m deleting X and stepping away from this platform for quite a while. I’ve realized that I’m wasting too much time here, and all the trading information, news, and chaos from around the world only create more chaos in my head. I’m going all in on my path to becoming a consistently profitable trader. Since nobody reads my posts anyway, I’m writing this more for myself than anyone else. So that in a few years, I can come back to this exact post and say: “Mom, I made it.”

i've gone through quite a few journals the past few years [ what didn't work ]: - taking over 2 to 3 trades per day - back to back entries (re-entering after a loser) - trading too many pairs (spreading themselves thin) - random sizing - only using market orders (they’d always be offside anyways) - executing using timeframes below 5m - not having daily structure (some morning routine) - adding to a losing position (quite obvious) - entering before knowing where they would exit [ what was working ]: - limiting trading to certain session hours (new york/close) - planning specific levels (not zones) before each session - sizing in accordance to regime (example: 5d vs 60d atr) - increasing initial trade size once already in profit - focusing on price action from their avg trade time - trading majors (btc,eth) nothing smaller than solana - aiming for a 45% win rate (low-mid win % in general) [ why they were messing up ]: - trading pnl graph (thinking of past results) - not accounting for probabilities resetting - social media impact on their execution - spreading thin across pairs to avoid boredom - inability to not mess with an open position - not stepping away from the desk frequent enough - outcome focused mindset over input focused [ actions they used to fix ]: - collected data (having data = conviction) - reviewing after every trade (creates time delay) - turn off the pnl completely - adopting a 3 question checklist before entering - removing all trading apps from phone - strictly limiting time on socials (lookup "brick - social") none of this is to say there’s a right or wrong way to trade. i'm 100% certain there are people trading 20 trades per day making money, and people trading 15 different pairs too. i just wanted to share my personal observations from people I have worked with.

the best @tradingview update in a long time.

Currently reviewing my performance and realized fees are taking a significant cut of my PnL. Curious how others deal with this: do you actively optimize for lower fees (limit orders, fewer executions), or focus purely on edge and ignore them? Since no one is reading my posts, I’m summoning the trading Power Rangers 🙌 @Trader_XO @tradermatt @TraderMorin @Orderandflow @Stnxbt

$BTC rejected the weekly 12EMA and is back inside the range. 65k is the level that matters. Lose that -> likely continuation lower, with 58k (200W MA) as a magnet 🧲 Upside still possible with a random trump post push into the low 80s inefficiency.

$BTC looks like it might push to fill the daily inefficiency above ( 9%). $ETH shows a very similar structure with room into the next thin area as well ( 12%)

$BTC this shit looks familiar. Wonder what comes next 🙃

$BTC reclaimed the bands (12 21 EMA) on the daily yesterday, just to lose them again quickly. Looks heavy, ngl.

$BTC 12H close back in the range I think we know the drill

What’s the meaning of liquidity heatmaps? $BTC If you can trade, you don’t need them. If you can’t trade, you don’t need them either. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Marked my higher-timeframe zones where I want to be a buyer or seller $BTC (if we get it)

Weekends are for learning✍️ $BTC Backtesting fib levels to see if there’s maybe a new edge in a sharply downtrending environment 👀

Two are gone ❌❌ Only one left 👀 $BTC

Looks like a dead cat bounce to me $BTC

Define range ✅ Set alarm 🚨 Chill 🧘🏼‍♂️

Outcome is lagging. Execution is leading.

$BTC November closed red. History says: when Nov is red, Dec usually red or stays flat. Avg return after red Nov: −2.07% Median: −9.6% High of the month typically set in the first 7–10 days, aligns with FED decision. Technical cherry on top: * Weekly & Monthly Stochs already rolled over * Monthly MACD just crossed bearish for the first time this cycle Expected Dec range: 80k – 103k (illiquidity will be key in tradfi) Plan remains: sell rips, no hero longs. See you on the other side of the Santa dump. 🪦

When you realise the market will always be there, you stop chasing every trade. Saved me a lot of money and quality time on the weekends
