Feeling generous today, here is are some trading takes in this thread...

At any given moment I can give you 20 reasons to short bitcoin and 20 reasons to long bitcoin.

If you're looking for a reason to support your bias the market will give it to you.

The first hardest thing for a trader is not to trade, you practice this you figured out the game.

The second hardest thing for a trader is to realize that sizing up doesn't necessarily mean you're going to make more.

The best trades you'll get are when market participants NEED to change their bias, not when they want to change their bias. In other words, you want to trade against someone who needs/forced to do something rather than trade against someone who wants to do something.

Changing an overconfident trader is a lot easier than building confidence for a trader.

Your stop shouldn't be your only invalidation, your stop should be there to protect your balance in case something happens out of your control.

Charts present you the pricing history, TA could analyze it, but it could never be a momentum trigger. News headlines are the trigger.

Support and resistance should be the only things that matter when you do TA. Leave the rest for the artists.

Following price action is very important to determine whether momentum is strong or it just died.

It is all a question of speed and volume.

Analysts will always be right, and will always look like making great calls because they don't trade. Analysts have a different job than traders, they have their own respected job, but they are not traders and cant' perform as traders.

Trading is the best job in the world, to learn how to it takes a lot of work and pain. That work has nothing to do with drawing lines on charts or reading books. That work takes a lot of clicking on the book.
