Process and PnL Often sideways = small movements, small wins, hitting singles, small losses, keeps the account ticking over, defensive until you see the opportunity to hit an A+ setup in between - back to defensive. Ladders = Setting up and executing a winning trade, playing out the trading objective. Snakes = Poor risk management, over-sizing too early, lazyness, 'fuck it' attitude, not cutting losers quickly all lead to significant drawdown. This one hurts the most. Have a blessed week ahead.

I’ve been contemplating getting back into streaming, although I’ve genuinely enjoyed the time away. It’s given me the opportunity to focus on trading itself and other aspects of life without the added noise. One thing that’s always bothered me about trading streams, though, is how much of the commentary tends to revolve around loosely held opinions and hindsight narratives. You can talk about potential setups and areas of interest all day, but until price actually gets there, you’re often just speculating. The real challenge is knowing how to react when it does, rather than pretending you can predict every move in advance. Identifying levels and areas of interest isn’t particularly difficult. Let’s be honest, though, if someone is drawing a monthly order block / demand area with a 15k-wide zone, what exactly are we supposed to do with that information? I could get my 16-year-old nephew to map out a zone that wide resembling the mother-in-laws letterbox tbh… The real skill is understanding why a trade is worth taking, what needs to happen to validate the idea, where the risk lies, how to size the position, and what would invalidate the entire thesis. Trade execution - That’s where the actual edge lies, and that’s what makes analysis actionable. Personally, I think there’s far more value in breaking down trades after they’ve been taken, walking through the original thesis, the reasoning behind the entry, the market conditions, the execution, the risk management, the position sizing, and ultimately what went right or wrong - because now you’re referring to a trading framework…. Never really see this being discussed in detail…. But come at me… what type of trading streams would you actually be interested in? Educational content? Detailed breakdowns of past setups and trades? Market dynamics and the reasoning behind price movements? Flow-based analysis? Or something else entirely? Genuinely interested to hear what people would find the most valuable and I’ll see what I can spin up later on… Thanks

$others 12/25 daily ema's show you the overall trend - and now approaching the weekly bands.. Through the weekly = more sideways lack of momentum based market But... Lower prices = opportunity once again... in due course... Just as I did in June - Quietly confident ill catch the next major rotation up across alts... may take some time to setup - let the bands show you the way.

Personally offloaded alts several weeks ago and proceeded to shorting them their respective highs….for which I did state why… Arthur finally gets it….

'Playing off around previous weeks highs and lows (over a 2 week lookback period) - youll see some very interesting inflection points around them...' Let the liquidity games continue...

Well we got the push up into 84s ✔️ Many alts saw a short covering rally with late longs entering ✔️ …. I believe they’re about to unwind much more but for now playing the ranges on zec and pumpfun aka z-trash and pump-trash I’d keep a watch on the daily 12/21/25 EMA’s on bitcoin and failure to hold price around the 81.5-82s becomes problematic. Same applies to alts… flow with price

GM Quite the doom posts on the timeline over the weekend. Many alts look somewhat oversold for their respective down rotations. Would like to see how Mondays range develops and if btc can push onto 83-84 then alts should react - squeezing out late shorts which often leads to an aggressive rotation higher… It’s then a question of if buyers are willing to step in there after or if alts are there to be sold on a lower high across the board - personally leaning towards there being room to bid them and risk off again into next weeks FOMC - but that’s just a loosely held opinion. Flat on all perps play except core hedges against spot Good luck

$SOL You tell me...

Over the years, I've developed a fairly good read on markets approaching significant highs, and potential turning points. I've been on the right side of those decisions consistently over the last several years as far back as 2021 highs, and that matters to me because it preserves my PnL. We all want to capture the upside.... but the prospect of further gains blinds participants to the increasingly asymmetric downside risks developing - I'm also convinced theres just far too much bullish tweeting into resistance for "being liked" ... its just dogshit trading - see it happen over and over again - usual accounts - free pass etc... "Kahneman and Tversky famously observed that losses loom larger than gains, with the psychological impact of a loss often estimated at roughly twice that of an equivalent gain. But beyond the psychology, there's a mathematical reality to drawdowns. Lose 50% and you need 100% just to get back to even" The objective isn't to be right at every turn. It's to remain in the game long enough for your edge to compound... not solely relying up on luck - or bundling shitters as a fake trader...
