Thread: About Technical Analysis, Charts and The Realm of Shadows
"My mind is not my best friend when it comes to highly profitable trading. I don't believe for one second that technical or fundamental analysis are the Holy Grail."
"If 90% of all people engaged in trading are
losing maybe it's a time we have a real
long hard look at what it is that we're
actually doing when we are trading"
- Tom Hougaard
1/ Notes and reflections about the Tom Hougaard presentation:
From trading psychology series, "Normal doesn't make money"
Tom Hougaard watched 50,000 people trade over a decade.
2/ "I realized that actually
trading had absolutely nothing to do
with technical analysis and fundamental
analysis."
"People tend to make the same
mistakes over and over and over and
actually very few people are capable of
making money consistently"
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.
