Thread:
What is a HUNDY ROLL?
sell when the guy who says everyone is euphoric deletes his account
do i believe the cycle high is in? nope
so will i be selling? absolutely not
big green candles can be as scary as big red candles, especially after it has been so long
the first reaction for many is 'omg when should i sell'
and i understand this. seeing profit after so much pain is enchanting, and after such an aggressive move it is very likely to get liq's to the downside along the way
last cycle i fell for the same trick and had to buy/sell several times along the way. i did very well, but i added a lot more room for potential failure and had to deal with a lot of unnecessary stress monitoring charts as a result
i was also able to swallow my pride and buy back higher, but most are not able to do so. all prices above your sale price will feel expensive, prices below will fill you with greed, and it is not easy to pay a premium to enter back into the same position
my new thesis is very simple: if i do not believe the cycle high to be in, or close, then i have zero interest in selling
the unit values of the coins i hold (BTC, HYPE) are the most important thing to me and i will not melt my positions down by trying to over-optimise
the questions to ask yourself are, are you a proven profitable trader? do you believe the cycle high is in?
if the answer to these questions is no, then simply enjoy the ride, or you can always slightly reduce your position to feel more comfortable if overexposed. being too exposed can lead to bad decisions
when i exit i will make it known, but i intend on simply enjoying the ride for a long time to come
have a great weekend everyone 🩵

reading this I realized I have helped a lot of people avoid paying that retard premium and I didn't even realize it
even if you dislike AI (which I do, a 5090 is 6k ffs) you can still learn how to use it properly and you will have an edge over someone that does not

we set the bar way too low on here
and are always willing to lower it if there's money to be made
it's sad to see what has been normalised over time

been playing around w the @Markets_xyz app for the past few weeks
i have to mark dis as a paid post bc they sponsor the podcast but these are my unfiltered thoughts. i don't have any obligation to post about them but think it's interesting
social trading has been getting a lot of attention lately, and it's mostly been focussed around memecoins, fomo etc
this scene is not for me and i think most of it is just leading ppl to the slaughter n farming copy traders. but the social aspect of trading makes sense to me
there is a low percentage of careered professional traders who are consistently profitable, and they are clearly good at what they do
public blockchains ensure visibility over these wallets is possible and for the first time in markets you are able to see minute by minute what the best are doing
like most skills, i think it can be very helpful to watch others do before trying to attempt, and even then by taking it very slowly. the last thing you want to do is try to learn how to trade by putting your entire networth on leverage
you can also get a good feel by copy trading positions with small size, understanding products etc
the markets app is quite good at aggregating most of your favourite traders on here and presenting it in a way that's quite nice to watch / understand. it also runs on hyperliquid
when i first started trading this would have been a tool that would have been helpful to me, esp the bias long/short of profitable traders
personally lev trading isn't really for me, i am more of a spot swing kinda guy. but if you are curious at learning or wondering where to start, i think looking at the markets app is interesting
id recommend following some profitable traders in the app and just watching for a while. i also find it quite interesting to see many of the big X accounts on there and how they are positioning in the market
ppl trading micro caps are generally not the ppl who you will learn from, avg hold time of 3mins is deeply unserious. stick to majors and have a play around
i think social trading is here to stay, but i think the healthy version of it looks much more like the markets app than fomo or pump fun
the data should continue to improve and should become more helpful over time as a tool to be used within a trading system imo
