One more thing,
I want to tell you about the stupid mistake i made yesterday and costed me few hundred bucks in 15 minutes just before the crack down.
I lost my patience and was bored, so bored that i decided to do something and at least start a grid bot, which made good profit during phase A. I told myself, what if we are really going up, even for the short term? You see how the FOMO starts to fool you?
and i started the bot.
Half of my portfolio was now on BTC. It sells every $500 up and buys every $500 down. Having done something, i went to watch some tv until the alerts started to buzz. The trend was broken and i was buying! Half of my portfolio started sinking, my risk was unnecessarily high!
I traded against my analysis even though none of my bullish case events happened.
I FOMO'ed in.
Then i looked at the closest support was still way down below and price was going there. I stopped out and exit. That's also a weak hand move.
This has cost me a few hundred dollars in just minutes but i learned a lot:
1- Do not trade inside the bearish triangle
2- Do not FOMO, it's not going anywhere you can't catch
3- Stick with your analysis and your bullish case
4- Do not risk more than 5% in one trade idea, especially the shitty ones :)
5- Get bored! It is fucking awesome!
You can grow this list, but the point is that the more you trade, the more you loose. There's no point in wrestling with #bitcoin. I'm not a short term trader and i don't advise anyone to be one. I'm a long term investor and i'm waiting for the right time to go in. I just can't wait to transfer my BTC to my cold storage and hopefully never touch it again.
Yeah, shit happens, lessons learned!
