Ever used a trading platform and thought, "I wish they would just ask traders what we actually need"? Well, @get_truenorth is asking. They're inviting users to share how they trade, what matters to them, and what could make TrueNorth more useful. It starts with a quick 2-minute survey. Selected participants may then be invited to an interview with the team, and those who complete it will receive a reward for their time and feedback. I actually like this approach. Because there's a difference between building features that sound impressive and building tools that people genuinely want to use. And as someone who spends a lot of time testing trading tools, I definitely have a few things to say 😂 If you use TrueNorth, here's your chance to share your perspective: tally.so/r/7Xb9lP What would you most like to see improved or added? P.S. And can we talk about this UI for a second? It's a visual orgasm. I'm obsessed 😂💙

BREAKING: GTA VI might have a new side hustle 👀 Forget robbing banks. I’ve got a better business idea. Apparently, @Rango3_8 and I made it into Vice City, and somehow our first mission is to introduce everyone to @get_truenorth 😂 🎮 NEW MISSION UNLOCKED: 💙 Find a setup. 💙 Manage your risk. 💙 Don’t get liquidated. And of course, every player needs an access card. Here’s yours: app.truenorth.xyz/ref/KARPA Now we’re just waiting for Rockstar to call us about our next mission😂😏

If trading had an ON/OFF switch, here's how I'd set mine. T - Trust: ON Trust the process, but never blindly trust a signal. Even when it comes from AI. R - Research: ON One chart rarely tells the whole story. Sometimes the most interesting details appear after the fifth question. U - Understanding: ON I don't just want to know where BTC might go. I want to understand why. E - Execution: ON A good idea means nothing if you don't know when to act. Or when not to. N - Noise Filter: ON CT has an opinion on everything. That doesn't mean every opinion deserves a place in my trading decisions. O - Opportunities: ON There's always something happening in the market. The challenge is finding what's actually worth your attention. R - Overtrading: OFF Not every candle needs a position. Sometimes doing nothing is the best decision. T - Timing: ON Being right about direction doesn't help much if your entry is terrible. H - Hopium: OFF The market doesn't owe me a recovery just because I want one 😂 That's my TRUE NORTH. And that's how I like using @get_truenorth: not to replace my judgment, but to challenge it, explore ideas, and make more informed decisions.

Forget Chanel No. 5. This is what we actually need 😂

My plan for today couldn't be clearer! 💙 Don't look for me. I'm with @get_truenorth today 😂

BTC was already showing weakness before CPI. The release didn't start the selloff. It accelerated it. But what caught my attention wasn't just the drop. It was what happened next. My $BTC short reached +143% PnL. Nice number, sure 😂 But a green PnL doesn't answer the most important question: does this move still have room to run? So I went back to @get_truenorth to dig into BTC's post-CPI price action. Here's what we found: $BTC dropped to $72,668 before bouncing 1.65% to $73,869. The rebound looked promising at first, but the details told a different story. Selling volume was much stronger than the volume during the recovery. The 4H trend remained bearish, with ADX at 46.36 and BTC still below its key moving averages. Momentum was improving, but buyers hadn't reclaimed the levels that mattered. $74,442 is the first level I'm watching. A sustained reclaim would put $74,754 in focus. But if BTC loses $73,457, another test of $72,668 becomes a possibility. And that's what I like about digging deeper with TrueNorth. One question leads to another. Sometimes the answer changes your perspective. Sometimes it just reminds you not to get too comfortable. Because being right about a trade doesn't mean you'll be right about what happens next.

AI agents managing our trades while we're out living our lives? Sounds amazing. Also slightly terrifying 😂 @moonshot6666 from @get_truenorth shared an interesting prediction after his conversation with @blocmates . In the next 6-12 months, he expects people to become comfortable allocating a small percentage of their capital to autonomous trading agents. And honestly, I can see why this conversation matters. Right now, I use TrueNorth to scan the market, explore different setups, challenge ideas, and build watchlists. Sometimes I get a potential trade. Sometimes I get NO TRADE and three more things to investigate 😂 But I still make the final decision. The idea of going from "help me find an opportunity" to "execute my trading strategy within the limits I've set" is a pretty big shift. And it raises an interesting question. Finding a good trade is one thing. Trusting an agent to manage your money is something else entirely. Maybe the hardest part of agentic trading won't be the technology. Maybe it'll be getting traders to stop checking their positions every five minutes.

Nothing tests a trader's discipline quite like a leaderboard 😂⚡ You can spend weeks convincing yourself that you've finally become a patient trader. No revenge trading. No unnecessary entries. No chasing every candle. And then @pacifica_fi announces a 48-hour Perps Blitz Competition with 250,000 points up for grabs. Suddenly, your brain starts negotiating. "Maybe one more trade?" "That setup isn't THAT bad..." "Wait, how many people are ahead of me?" And that's what makes trading competitions interesting to me. It's not just about who can trade the most. It's also about how people behave when there's a ranking attached to every decision. The mechanics are pretty straightforward: ⚡ 48 hours of competition ⚡ 250,000 points available ⚡ Trade perps and compete on the leaderboard ⚡ No sign-up or additional balance requirements ⚡ Eligible traders are entered automatically But here's the part I'm most curious about. Will people stick to the trades they'd normally take? Or will the leaderboard convince them that every candle is suddenly an opportunity? Because the market doesn't care that you're trying to win a competition. And a bad trade doesn't become a good one just because there are points attached to it. 😂 My goal? Keep trading like myself, even when the leaderboard is trying to turn me into someone else. Let's see who survives the next 48 hours with both their discipline and their ranking intact 🌊 Are you joining the Blitz?

Me calling @get_truenorth because apparently one profitable trade today wasn't enough 💅📞 Me: Hello? Any good setups on the line? TrueNorth: Nothing confirmed right now. Me: Not even one? 🥹 TrueNorth: But I found three worth watching. Okay, now we're talking 👀 Here's what ended up on my watchlist: 📉 $BNB - watching for a confirmed breakdown or failed reclaim. 📉 $PUMP - looking for a failed relief bounce. Not chasing an oversold move. 📈 $ARB - possible reversal long, but only if buyers start showing up. No confirmed entries yet. Just three assets worth keeping an eye on. But here's something I've learned from using TrueNorth almost every day: You don't have to approach the market the same way every time. Sometimes I ask it to scan the entire market for the best setup. Sometimes I narrow things down to one asset, challenge an idea, or ask it to look for what could go wrong. And sometimes, like today, I change the question completely. No good trades right now? Fine. What should I be watching for the next 24 - 48 hours? I keep adjusting my prompts, refining my search criteria, experimenting with different approaches, and seeing what actually gives me useful information. It's not about asking AI the same question 40 times and hoping for a different answer 😂 It's about learning to ask better questions. And that's probably my favorite part of using TrueNorth. I'm not just looking for trades. I'm constantly improving the way I look for them. Although...I'll probably still ask for another setup in 10 minutes 💅📞

Well, that green PnL didn't take long to show up! 💚 $INJ SHORT +19.4% 📉 Never doubted that @get_truenorth setup 😏🥰 Curious what TrueNorth might find for you? app.truenorth.xyz/ref/KARPA

What if you have the trading skills, but not the capital to match them? You can spend years learning how to trade, developing strategies, managing risk, and improving your consistency. But growing a small account into something meaningful can still take a very long time. That's why @ownit_xyz caught my attention. It's an early-stage trading project built around Solana, with an interesting approach to prop trading. And since I've already secured access to its private beta, I thought I'd introduce it to you. So, what exactly is OWNIT? 👇 The idea behind prop trading is pretty simple. Instead of risking a large amount of your own trading capital, you pay for an evaluation and demonstrate your skills under specific trading rules. It's not just about making profitable trades. It's about showing that you can manage risk, control losses, and trade consistently. If you successfully complete an evaluation, the goal is to qualify for a funded trading program. But here's what makes OWNIT particularly interesting to me. The project is bringing the concept of verifiable trading performance to Solana. In traditional prop trading, much of the performance tracking happens inside the company's own systems. OWNIT is exploring how blockchain infrastructure can make trading activity and settlement more transparent. And I think that's an interesting direction. Because when it comes to prop trading, trust matters. How are your trades recorded? How is your performance calculated? What can you independently verify? These are questions worth asking. OWNIT is also part of the Solana Incubator and presented at its Demo Day in New York on November 5. But beyond the technology, there's another aspect I'm interested in. Trading discipline. Finding a good entry is one thing. Knowing when NOT to trade is another. And anyone who's traded perps long enough knows how quickly one emotional decision can ruin several good trades. That's why I'm curious to see how OWNIT approaches risk management and trader evaluation in practice. The project is still early, and there's plenty left to explore. I'll be following its development, testing what I can, and sharing my experience along the way.

I told my order to chase the price. Not me 😂 Ever tried to close part of a position with a limit order? You place it. The price moves. You adjust it. The price moves again. At some point, it feels like you're negotiating with a candlestick 😂 That's exactly the kind of manual work Chase Orders on @pacifica_fi are designed to reduce. And I finally got to test the strategy myself. Here's what happened with my $BTC Long. I had an open position and wanted to reduce it by 25%. Not close the entire trade. Not reverse my direction. Just take a quarter of my exposure off the table. So I tried Chase. And it worked. My BTC Long was reduced by 25%. But what I found interesting wasn't just the result. It was how the order was managed. Chase isn't a market order with extra steps. Instead of immediately taking available liquidity, the strategy uses post-only limit orders and adjusts the order price as the market moves. That distinction matters. A market order prioritizes execution, but the final fill price depends on available liquidity. A regular limit order gives you control over your price, but you may need to adjust it manually when the market moves away. Chase automates that adjustment process while keeping the order passive. In other words, the order does the chasing. Not you. But here's the catch. Post-only means the order is intended to add liquidity rather than immediately take it. And that comes with a trade-off. You might get maker execution, but you're not guaranteed an immediate fill. If the market keeps moving away, the strategy can continue adjusting without completing your exit. And while you're waiting, the portion of your position you wanted to close is still exposed to price movements. That's why I wouldn't use Chase as a substitute for a stop-loss or an emergency exit. For me, the interesting part is having more control over how I execute a trade. Sometimes I want to exit immediately. Sometimes I'm willing to wait for a passive fill. And sometimes I just don't want to sit there manually moving an order every few seconds. In my BTC trade, Chase did exactly what I needed: helped me reduce my position without closing the rest. It's a small example, but it shows why execution tools matter. Trading isn't only about finding a good entry. How you manage and exit a position matters just as much. And if my order wants to run after the price, who am I to stop it? 😂🌊 Have you tried Chase on Pacifica, or do you still adjust your limit orders manually?

One green day and suddenly last week's panic feels like ancient history. Yesterday, US stocks staged their strongest rally since April. Oil prices dropped, buyers returned, and the mood changed almost overnight. But here's what I find interesting. The market doesn't wait for things to get better. It starts trading the possibility that they will. And sometimes, by the time the good news actually arrives, everyone has already bought into it. That's why today's US inflation report is worth watching. Imagine CPI comes in better than expected, but stocks still fall. Sounds ridiculous? Not really. If traders have already positioned for good news, a positive number might not be enough to push prices higher. And the opposite can happen too. Bad news doesn't always mean a red candle. I've learned that being right about the news and being right about the market's reaction are two very different things. So today I'm less interested in guessing the CPI number. I'm more interested in what the market does with it. Because sometimes the most interesting part isn't the news itself. It's what happens when reality meets expectations.

Your Print is profitable. Your next trade might not be. 👀 You've been running Print on @pacifica_fi. Yield is accumulating. Everything looks good. And then your Print executes. Now comes the part people don't talk about enough. The position you receive can already be underwater. Let's say you set a Print Long target at $100. At the checkpoint, the mark price is $98. Assuming your Print hasn't been liquidated, it can execute at your $100 target. You're now holding a leveraged long while the market is trading 2% below your entry. At 5x leverage, that's roughly -10% relative to your initial margin, before fees and other costs. And suddenly, the APY you were so excited about doesn't look quite as impressive 😂 Here's the important distinction: The yield earned through Print and the PnL of the resulting perp position are separate components of your overall outcome. You can collect yield and still lose money on the trade that follows. That's why I think choosing a Print target requires more than looking at the APY. Ask yourself: Would I still want this position if the market were moving against me? Am I comfortable with the leverage? And do I understand the liquidation risk, both before and after execution? Because Print execution isn't the finish line. It's the moment your next trading decision becomes very real. The yield is nice. But it won't save a bad trade 🌊

Found an old picture of myself. Apparently, some habits start early 😂 Ever since I started using @get_truenorth, I don't think a single day has gone by without me opening it. Sometimes I'm hunting for a new trade setup. Sometimes I'm breaking down a market move, checking a theory, or trying to figure out what I might be missing. And sometimes I open it with absolutely no intention of trading. Just one little question... Which somehow turns into another five 😂 At this point, I'm not even sure who's more patient: me waiting for a good entry or TrueNorth answering my endless questions. Anyway, I think this ultrasound explains a lot 👶📈
