I’ve moved away from bollinger bands

Stoch rsi is ok

#

I really just like ping noises

#

Yeah but it’s like so obvious it’s worthless I guess

#

For judging if smth is oversold

#

Idk bro I think it’s way more useful (for the high volume small caps I’m trading) to just only take a trade when it’s extreme and bucking the general trend (ergo market manip)

#

Yeah and they’re often wrong about consolidation and shit too

#

To me it’s more intuitive to just think of the chart as a big train

#

Maybe a big car idk

#

You got various forces pulling it around but it’ll stabilize naturally

#

Just looking at it go to the right helps me see this

#

I don’t think it’s something I can ever put into words and explain as well as watching a tick chart for 3 hours would

#

Crypto especially is all momentum

kinda same, I just thought of it as gravity & space. derivatives can also distort the space making it more dense or sparse where the same amount of force just makes the point move more or less

Nobel Laureate Eugene Fama Predicts Bitcoin Will Become Worthless -...

Nobel Prize-winning economist Eugene Fama argues that Bitcoin is fundamentally flawed and predicts it has a near-certain chance of becoming worthless within a decade. In a conversation with Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean, Fama explains why Bitcoin’s extreme volatility, lack of intrinsic value, and violation of basic monetary principles make i...

Why would economists need to completely rethink money and markets if bitcoin didn’t bust?

#

Yes, obviously, I’m saying I don’t think it’s actually that inconsistent and he’s failing to understand what it is because he’s against the tech

#

Someone who hates almost all technology isn’t plagued by the mindvirus that: crypto is a bad meme, but stocks are totally real and capitalist valuation is good and logical

#

I don’t think intrinsic value makes any sense really except as a technically incorrect shorthand in discussion about mechanical price imbalances

#

If it’s: “bitcoin is not great as a currency” i think “no shit”

#

Also on practical trading - thinking about putting 10k into silver because it looks undervalued

This to me is still memetic value but I guess with materials specifically it makes more sense in some way

In the sixties, the common investor on the NYSE held an asset for 5-10 years. Averages were estimated to be 8 years.

Fast forward to 2020, and a NYSE trader most often holds a share for around 5.5 months.

On Solana? Most people will sell within 3 minutes and 42 seconds.

I’m kinda done with shitcoining at this point

#

I’ve been out of the game a while and eth is dead

#

Sol is only option really

#

Yeah I lost some from portfolio ath but still sitting around 40-45k from 1.5k initial

#

I’m mostly stabled up. I have about 30k or so in USDC

#

I still like to trade majors

#

Like ethereum and solana

#

Just not memes on the chain

#

Onchain has kinda died off

#

I just checked. I have:

3-3.5k in random shitty meme coins
11-12 in majors
29-30 in stables

Market overreaction to bearish cpi

#

I would kill to be at my laptop at home rn

#

I’d open a small short on one account right now with low leverage liq point on btc 96.2 price target 93 entry 94.9

#

95-96 is fair pricing for btc atm morons puking

#

Market makers might scam wick though

#

Hm

#

98.2 might be a lot safer

#

Well fuck it yolo

#

It’s a paper trade of course but I’m taking it about as seriously as a real position

#

Back at entry right now but yo estoy is just doubly down on the fake position here

#

Market open pa should be more bearish given cpi

#

This wick upwards is a scam to clear out some risky shorts

#

No shot it lasts above 95.2

#

The collat in this imaginary account is 2k

#

Holy fuck was I wrong

#

kekw

#

The last opportunity for my thesis to be validated is 95.5 wick then nuke back down after clearing out shorts

#

Welp, there’s 95.6, gg

#

I’d probably close this position on the bounce down to 95.4 so -500 plus trading fees

#

Actually with the liq points I set I think I’d only be down 300 or so

#

2k account starting would be 1700 and I’d be feeling extreme pain

This shit feels overbought though

Holy fuck they’re so dumb

Maybe it’s just rationalists I’m railing against still

#

Man I hate chudkowski

#

I’ve met 1 or 2 smart people in crypto

#

Actually probably 5

#

And a couple of good artists

#

But trad fi guys are substantially worse and more boring than them

#

Crypto seems to breed more well-roundedness than trad fi due to the ways you make money in crypto

#

Ie networking, making art, coding shit

#

They assume the market is a divination tool for the entire scope of human knowledge and an interpreter of all current events

#

I guess that’s why I dislike it so much. Rigidity of descriptive model & directly linked prescriptive model (at least unconsciously)

#

But then again

#

A certain authentic confidence in the system is required to excel at the system in most cases

#

At least if you’re a market participant

#

That Keynesian beauty contest — I was thinking about it a bit more

#

I don’t fully agree with the sophistic model

#

It struck me immediately but I haven’t had a reason to bring it up

#

Authentic belief in the market, hedged bets or small bets, I think you can beat market makers

#

I don’t know if we are talking about the same point

#

But yeah I agree with what you’re syaing

#

Was it you who shared the Keynesian beauty contest

#

Yes

#

Well idk what the psychic benefit would be

#

Really simple idea. basic game theory. You have to predict what other people will want, some people go by what they want, sophisticated strategy entails figuring out proxies for what other people like generally and going off that

#

I think the sophistic strategy misses wholistic chunks and can lose a lot as a result

#

This was 2 or 3 days ago

#

Anyways this illustrates a few points one can use to muse about trader psychology and projected returns

#

I made all of the money I've made off of extremely high risk gambles, insider trading, and learning to operate mechanical price imbalances. not paying taxes is a gamble in itself. this is what I do best

#

anyways the real reason is that realistically 40k-60k is an amount that doesn't matter enough to get an accountant for

#

if I made idk 300k or something I guess I'd get an accountant

#

I figured out a weird tax evasion "scheme" the other day involving blacklisting wallets

#

it's not properly evasion actually, it's more of tax liability control and temporal reclassification

#

I was talking to a friend about taxes a while ago and he put me onto the starting kernel: eat paper losses

#

like have your public / IRS announced wallets and your private / IRS hidden wallets as different networks of money essentially, eat paper losses between the two networks only essentially engaging thru purchases made to the same liquidity pools (could even blacklist all non-you wallets)

#

I would never do this of course

Re gooning: “gone wrong” lost its sexual connotation

#

I recall in my childhood into as late as 2016 (perhaps a death rattle there) “wrong” having a sexual feeling attached

#

Society was more repressed back then and less so now

#

I think something people are confused by and worried for kids about is that they’re exposed to sex a lot early

#

This could cause repression but it could cause early normalization

#

I would expect more normalizing

#

Gooning seems to be a product of sexual repression (seems obvious by argument is an enthymeme without this point)

topaz mica Mar 2, 2025, 2:47 AM

#

proud forge does that include the time youve spent

Uhhh on learning to trade margin I treat breaking even as being profitable because I didn’t have to pay any tuition

#

One sec this is a really interesting question gonna get out the patio

#

Laptop*

#

okay on laptop now

#

alright

#

when I first started out trading memecoins last april, I made 15k in one month, roundtripped it all back down to 4k, then bought another coin and went to 15k, then all my money got drained thru a hack (it was my fault), and my friends gave me 5k (was really close with some 7-8 figure people back then oddly, closer to them then than I am today). I don't normally bring up the hack point, because the buyback makes calculating my PNL confusing and necessarily inaccurate. After this the 5k I was gifted slowly dwindled down to 2k, then I started trading again. I made some more money, lost some money, then I think at one point my portfolio fell down to around 900 dollars in october or something.

#

So, on memecoins, so far the PNL would look like this:
1500 - > 15000
15000 - > 4000
4000 -> 15000
15000 -> 5000
5000 -> 2000
2000 -> 900

#

anyways, after that, my last hold pumped and turned into like 5 or 6k and I randomly got an airdrop from a website that I had used in the past (and still use today to trade perps actually, app.hyperliquid.xyz/PVPON for my ref link) for 2000

#

pretty soon after that (sometime in november) I cracked into 5 figs for the first time, etc. etc. now I've made more money from memes than I have from IRL job

#

and I've spent less time at it*

#

anyways, I used to calculate in my head how many hours I've spent and shit like that because I wanted to create rules for myself so I didn't overgamble or something, now I just do it because I enjoy pointless calculation in my head to keep myself sharp, so sometimes I'll just take my entire portfolio balance and assume a figure on the low end of the range (some of the assets are less liquid and there are tons of fees) and figure out how much I've made per hour. it's hard to figure out for many many reasons

#

so, on perps trading and losses and wins and all of that: I view this as a skill to be learned, it's gonna cost me something, I can't play at it forever, but it's nice to be back to breaking even.

#

if you told me "yeah you're gonna be in a box and you're gonna get paid x dollars per hour to feel these emotions" I would've never accepted the job

#

a big part of why I enjoy trading is the process of emotional regulation that you have to do. I trade WAY better on days when I meditate, and I trade terribly when I'm mad, tired, hungry, lonely, or euphoric

topaz mica Mar 2, 2025, 2:57 AM

#

proud forge or do you not calculate your time as having value

yes my time has value but frankly with shitcoining I would be shitposting anyways and at least I'm making money, on perps, I treat the money I lose as tuition and the money I make as luck (at least this early on)

#

speaking of trading perps: lookin for entry on a long on btc. I had perfect entry a second ago and failed to act because I didn't believe my eyes, but even the super basic dom I'm using was showing tons more support on buy side. obvious buy...

proud forge Mar 2, 2025, 3:05 AM

#

interesting way to look at it

topaz mica Mar 2, 2025, 3:19 AM

#

proud forge interesting way to look at it

If you get too attached to the money you enter fear / greed or pain / euphoria paradigm

#

It really fucks up your ability to win. Have lost so much money doing dumb shit

proud forge Mar 2, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

You see I always assumed traders traded because of greed

#

so hearing you just do it for what can only be described as a love of the game is kind of crazy

topaz mica Mar 2, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

proud forge You see I always assumed traders traded because of greed

I'm not contradicting this point. You're right, you're definitely right, but there's more to greed. greed on my usage there is a driver underlying emotional states of extreme euphoria and extreme despair

#

of course I don't just do it for the love of the game, but I really enjoy meditation also and view trading as an opportunity to defuse anxieties. I'm not the greatest at it, but I'm also not the worst, and I'm getting better.

#

a lot of "traders" blame women and minorities for the reasons that they don't make money and why their lives are shit, y'know. they prefer to be right and lose money over checking themselves, growing, and making a few bands

#

I'm long btc here mentally by the way just executing a paper trade. feels like that breakout got buckbroken and now it might cower into sunday scaries, but that crypto summit is bullish despite how dumb it is. we won't be able to tell until perps market opens at 6 tomorrow. current price is 85861

no don't worry about it. I'm just throwing out thoughts. I was just disappointed in myself that I had a very strong feeling about Tesla, and didn't jump on it when I knew I should've, only later

I'd be hesitant. the slide hasn't stopped, there's still impacts to be had. the uncertainty is very high which also makes buying any calls pretty expensive

the best thing that could happen to Tesla is somehow getting divorced from Musk. if there's any signs of that happening I might just gamble on it a little bit

mild kelp We’re seeing a legit boycott take shape in Europe/ China

there pretty much is one, but I feel like there's multiple facets to it. first one is Musk, obviously enough. then there's anti-US administration sentiment, which is tied to Musk through what's happening. third is EVs in general. Teslas are very expensive. Chinese EVs are incredibly cheap, but will likely face heavy tariffs if they already didn't get them. last year it looked obvious they will get hit by them severely, and euro manufacturers just can't match the price. it's also why I thought EV demand in general would go down (coupled with a few other minor things that don't matter), but I might very well be wrong on that guess

I'm not sure how well you guys inside the US understand, but there has been a massive shift of sentiment toward what the US is and whether they can be relied on at all. even during Iraq, Afghanistan, everything, it has never been even remotely like this. I don't know if this shows up in your news or anywhere. you keep threatening with armed invasion of your allies and have started trade wars

kinda feel like genuinely big investments will start to dry up and piles of money will just be sat upon and put into bonds.

I wouldn't put it past Trump to directly threaten with pulling away protection too unless investments happen, but I'm sure he's at least hinted at it

the few things that seem very likely to win off of this, and which have of course been getting stellar returns already, are defense companies in Europe. a serious re-arming is beginning or has begun in part, and on multiple layers for multiple reasons it seemed like EU manufacturers were going to be favored. now it seems almost obvious. I'm sure US can still bully and force nations to essentially buy security off of it, but it's just not the same at all

glossy tundra This is about crypto twitter but i could have said the same thing about gamestop...

this has been going on since at least this time last year

#

I don't think it really blew up until slightly later int he year but that's also caused by my experience being limited

#

I only traded on base and eth from april to uhhhh probably june last year

#

the twitter meta being discussed in that tweet is primarily for and relating to coins on solana

#

all this being said this "xcoin" meme started with either asscoin or fartcoin I can't remember

I was early to both and made money on both of those

at some point though I started to feel that there was no extractable value left in these markets / that I would have to sacrifice so much time and energy it wasn't worth it

topaz mica I’ll take a trade with you

Ill post the next one just sold todays

#

Basically just running the same strategy i did last time trump was in office

#

More worried about not losing than big wins rn. I was very confident that trump would want to be able to say we were at aths on the 4th. I also knew that it was an early trading day going into a long weekend. Correction was already almost certain. Then you also tack on the BBB passing while the market was closed.

#

Now im just playing the choppy action. Trying to stay with the general market flow while keeping my eye out for the next thing that will boost/scare retail investors

#

Rn that thing is looking like it will be the fed cutting rates but i think if that happens itll be up and back down pretty fast

Regardless of what happens overall i think we will see SPY @ 700 in 2028

Yesterday, a coworker had his birthday at this bar that features a room filled with a couple dozen pinball tables. We were all drinking, hanging out, playing a few games when a guy joins our group. It was pretty loud in there and it sounded like this guy was the friend of another guy in our group.

We start talking about jobs and he says he works in some sort of petroleum company. The birthday boy drunkenly asked if the rando had any stock tips from the perspective of his job. I said, "Yeah! Give us that Martha Stewart intel!"

He recommended this Golden Cariboo Resources Limited (GCC) company. Says he's worked with them before and he says he's quite certain it'll blow up. I drunkenly put $200 down and threw horns 🤘

Figured out when walking home that no one in the group actually knew this guy and he just randomly approached our group to hang out with us and I drunkenly took stock advice from a full-on rando

Fingers crossed this penny stock hits $1 🤞I'm still bracing myself for it to be more like I blew $200 on gas station scratchers kekwoj
