listen kid, i'm almost never serious on here, but maybe this helps a single person. i don't know what's gonna happen in 5 minutes, let alone 5 weeks or 5 months, and neither does anyone else. i stopped believing i could tell the future a long time ago. i want the market to keep going vertical too, and i think it does eventually, but sometimes it has to be boring for a bit before that happens. reality is much different than your timeline insists. surprisingly you actually don't have to be 100% in or out of the markets at any given time. you are likely not smart enough to trade every single regime, this is not a bad thing. you're probably gonna miss the bottom, it never mattered anyway. please don't chop yourself to pieces in conditions you clearly can't trade just to mentally clock out when it's easy. i know you can tell the difference. you probably hear that a lot, but it is a very real thing that you don't truly digest until you've been through it enough times. i have been guilty of doing this too many times in the past and it has cost me dearly when i compare the effort put in to rewards paid out. the experience i've gained from almost forcing myself through every kind of market condition is something i wouldn't trade for anything and is very useful to me these days, but i don't believe it's something that everyone can or should tolerate. some of us are going to burn it all and lose everything. please prevent yourself from being one of them with some self-awareness and restraint. it is a much bigger deal than you are probably giving attention to. you gotta realize this is real money you're making and torching trying to prove that you're somebody you probably aren't. cash some out and go buy some asian escorts or something until that is extremely clear to you. trading can be one of the most financially and mentally rewarding things there is. i struggle to find anything else in this world that achieves the effect that trading has on me. at the same time, it can be one of the most harmful and trauma inducing things out there. there is more at risk than simply losing money: your time, your confidence, your mental, etc. i do all this shit solo dolo, i have nothing to sell you, i am no kol, i have no mentor(s) outside of some very smart and transparent people on ct, i am just another person trading coins on the internet trying to help you make sure this isn't all for nothing. i'm not sure i'd be able to live with myself knowing i spent all these years here just to continue making the same mistakes over and over again and bleeding it all to zero, and i don't want that for any of you either.
