People like my thread much{image} Remember that I don't have ignore list. You can freely post any thoughts in my thread, all traders are welcome! Yesterday was a calm day for me, I was out most of the time. +1.41% only with 100% winrate. {quote} May be you right my friend. But. I don't care what crypto made for, how it works, what is its future and so on. I just can calculate the difference in trading costs. Let's take Gold for example. On forex my trading costs are -5.5$ per 100k - spread...
Here's the short of the long ....
I have nothing against trading or gambling or speculating or investing or value adding etc. The truth is, some things you cannot witness or learn in the normal, usual ways. It simply comes down to how old you are and/vs. what you've learned that actually matters. If you want to learn beyond "people" then you have to go off-road. I hope you do well with your trading. But real trading has nothing to do with your costs alone. It has to do with impact. Many people don't know anything from anything so they'll say I'm lying or talking in riddles etc. and that's the point. They see just what you describe - "what's it to me"...... instead of deliberately creating additional perspectives so you can improve.
About business - the type of trading many people do now (2021-22) is more about keeping the money moving around within the system. The act of business re trading is actually more about seriousness of mind not about having an office one visits everyday and 'feel' productive.
Trading is more about adaptation, adaptability and the ability to sniff out certain things. Not what fantasy trading sites want all to talk about. To me, you've been hanging around people who only want you to think like them. That's not helping, that's loading you up with weights that stop people from adapting. I'm not singling anyone out here, the wold is full of insecure scared small minded people who are the way they are... by their choosing.
Crypto started out as an eco-social experiment. People can't teach you about your business choices..... let history do that. It's more neutral and won't bullshit to your face. Yes it's unforgiving but it teaches. Trading is not about shuffling money, it's about longevity. Foresight "should" tell you the present trajectory of crypto's. If it's not then check who's influencing your focus.
I've said it many times - people and insurance. Not my opinion. History teaching. Fads come and go. But the basics never change because there is no "chance" in a market getting up and running or being shutdown or being active or not.
So your numbers don't reflect knowledge, they reflect trying to do what others do - the first step to wasting time. Go off road and learn, otherwise your skills are wasted.
Trading takes a long time to learn for some because you're forced to learn something new. Again, that's the point. Unless you've already learned that life skill outside of the 'trading world' then you have to learn it inside. And if that rings true, then common sense should be based on more than profits or costings alone. The knowledge and skills "should be" transferable.
And again, crypto come into spotlight because they're a fused market environment. They're derivative AND experimental AND incidentally help the "markets" gauge just how malleable people are (as well as gullible). If crypto's are the only market field you can access because you need to/want to/have to code a machine program to trade on your behalf, then that should tell you something.
Anyway, said enough. Enjoy your trading (and learning - if you choose to pursue it).

Real Trading is not gambling.
