J-curve trades are one thing you should focus on when you have a smaller portfolio You don't need much size for these to print and the main edges here are foresight + patience Robinhood Chain is a great example of one: After the chain launched, every coin got obliterated. But if you zoomed out and realized that the fundamentals were still there, then you would've seen this as a buying opportunity (RH was the biggest retail finance app, 3x larger than Coinbase, etc) The timeframe of this trade didn't become obvious until after Vlad started interacting with $CASHCAT, but if you bought any coin in between the chain's launch and Vlad tweeting, you'd be up 10-100x

Once you realize that there is ALWAYS going to be another play, you'll be able to kill a lot of FOMO/greed Easier said than done, but tunnel visioning on one trade/missed opportunity is what leads to emotional trading (and losses) Throughout the bear market, we've seen multiple 8-9 figure runners. Outside of crypto, there have been a ton of equity plays too We're not running out of opportunities, so if you ever find yourself revenge trading or hyper fixating on one coin, just remember there really will be another play Everyone says it and yeah sometimes it feels like cope, but it's 100% true

If you're just starting crypto and don't have much capital, you should 100% get a job For some people, this is a big hit to their ego, but the money you earn can help in many ways: - More money to trade with so you're not doing 0.01 SOL buys - Can join a paid group ^ Kinda taboo, but very helpful if you have no friends in the space and join the right one. I still trade with some people I met in my first paid group 2 years ago

If you're a student or have a job, finding time to focus on crypto can be hard Trading slower cooks is one solution to this Recent examples of slow cooks are $HYPE, $CARDS, and $THREE You had a ton of time to accumulate, research, and sell all of these, which is great for a "part-time trader"

Have you ever made money on a coin and it felt like pure luck? Or you don't even know WHY you made money? That's an example of a bad win. In crypto, there are good wins and bad wins. A good win would be making money on a coin in a way that is replicable, derived from logic (see QRT), etc.

if you're not thinking about crypto 24/7, you're lowkey ngmi...

I talk about catalyst trading a lot, but it really is the best strategy for unknown/new traders Defined risk, you will know relatively quickly whether the trade is over, and it's pretty consistent Examples: Top blasting $ANSEM after Ansem started airdropping/tweeted to nuke the PVP to 0 Top blasting $ASTEROID after Elon said it would be the mascot of SpaceX Top blasting $CZ after CZ replied to that airdrop tweet

When you first get into crypto, you are dumb. This goes for everyone who has ever traded. So, your goal should be to make as many mistakes as possible while losing the least amount of money. As your fundamentals improve and you gain experience, you can gradually increase risk/size. It's important that you don't blow up before you even have the chance to learn (tbf though, zeroing out is a lesson itself). You want to survive the initial culling phase of crypto so that, when you finally discover even a small edge, you still have capital to use it.

Gonna be reviewing some trades/coins in my next video Reply with your wallets/CAs you want me to look over

People always cope that crypto is gambling, but that's because they are illogically trading By logically trading though, crypto turns from slots into chess Logical trading - researching, buying coins you can estimate a ceiling on, looking for catalysts, not forcing trades Illogical trading - gambling, emotional, copytrading KOLs

The biggest mistake I see new traders make is obsessing over PNL when they first get into crypto Crypto is not linear whatsoever, regardless of your experience level Some days you make nothing, other days you lose, and another day you make 6 figs There's no real pattern, so setting financial goals like "making $10k/mo" is useless Instead, you should focus on learning, improving your fundamentals, and becoming the greatest trader possible The opportunities and money will come, eventually, to those who stay consistent

ABS = Always be spending When I first started trading, I never spent my money I'd rather use spare cash to invest even more, but this ultimately left me overexposed when the market nuked Before I knew it, I roundtripped 80% of my portfolio by bagholding memecoins When I made the money back, I started spending profits on more than just DoorDash This made me appreciate the value of money and made it easier to take risks because, even if I lost the trade, I still had real life purchases and experience to show for the months I spent trading Discipline is important when it comes to spending, but always be sure to treat yourself and your family with at least a small portion of your profits (And also dedicate a bigger portion of your portfolio to security/long term investments, but that's for another post)

Too many people (myself included) freeze up or start fudding when a potential PVE coin spawns But the risk of being sidelined on PVE can actually be greater than the risk of having a position in it If you're scared, you don't need to size in. Even a small position is enough because if the thesis plays out, you'll still be thanking yourself for buying

New pairs used to be the best way to make money if you just started crypto, but in the current market this is no longer the case Frontrunning and catalyst based trading are the best/most consistent ways to make money if you have a low portfolio now (Check QRT for more info on those) However, I do still think you should pay attention to new pairs since every runner starts as one. Just be careful with how much money you risk on them in the current market conditions

Catalyst trading is the second best way to make money if you're new to crypto It's one of the only strategies for untracked traders to have a solid edge onchain The best opportunities are rare, however the downside is clearly defined and its very consistently profitable

Twitter is extremely important if you're new to crypto. Not only can you learn a ton if you follow the right accounts, but if you post solid trade ideas/results, you'll also meet other good traders and get invited to private groups.
