Smol thread on taking profits along the way / scaling out

The Math:

- Beats (hands down) not having a full-out exit strategy

- Doesn't beat having one (you'll hurt rewards vs maximize risk, you'll have your biggest position at the moment of max risk, the entry)

1/x
The non-Math:

- Can help (a lot) with psychological and emotional management.

At the end of the day, a system that outperforms scaling out is completely useless if you're not able to run it.

2/x
I've seen countless times people with perfectly working systems starting discretionary trade around them and get fooked.

Your system is only good as your ability to keep executing it.

=> Find a system that

A) works
B) FOR YOU

3/x
This is also why thinking you can trade by following someone elses larps here on CT is completely foolish.

A) 95% they don't even have a system in the first place

B) 5% could have a system that works for them, chance is it doesn't for you, everyone is different

Peace out

Thread 1/n

Post mortem on what happened yesterday on $BTC, $ETH and all the gang.

Take this as an opportunity to step up your game.

Let's start by saying that I lost a decent chunk (30%) of unrealized profits from this bull run in the alts account.

Several things happened:
2/n

- Most people caught in this nuke said "nobody could have predicted it"...my man lol.

- I didn't "predict it", I surely didn't predict the magnitude of the move. What I predicted was that there was a strong possibility of further downside...
3/n

...and that the CT larpers that kept buying every single green 15 minutes candle until the day before were about to nuke their followers.

We were ALREADY in a clean technical downtrend, if you didn't notice.
