Bitcoin Forum

Hello Members,

I started investing in 2017 at the peak of the bull run without knowing any basics of investment, of course, lost a lot, and most if not all of my friends were out of the crypto with huge loss but then I got addicted to this technology.

Spent a lot of time understanding crypto and then started tutorials on trading and with lots of effort, interest, and dedication.

But what I have observed is that most of the time even though I predict and calculate the movement I was not able to take up the trade due to emotions coming in between or just ignoring it not sure, I just can't say why but I just don't do those trades.


for example :

when SEC case on XRP i was very sure its gonna dump but still i dont know why i didnt take that trade ( i mean i can take atleast .5% percent of my portfolio if i am scared but you know it just happened that i didnt take )

initial Elon musk tweet, i was very confident that it is going to pump ( if the world richest person says something it does matter), I said same thing for his second tweet that its going to dump hard but i never took the trades

these are just a 2 and technically many.

so with all these, i am looking for a companion who is interested in trading, tech, news and would like to share contact number or some platform where we can message and discuss on regular basis so that on every oppurtunity i have someone to talk and take up decisions if not atleast make my head stright :)

Many members here talk about price and set expectations, and here is a section dedicated to that ---> Speculation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0) and this topic is constantly talking about price ---> Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.0)

Things I advise you to stay away from:

 - Opinions of famous people: 90% of them are FUD or SCAM.
 - Twitter/Telegram Analytics: 99% of them are managed by an AI group.
 - Headlines: Most of them are inaccurate.

The solution to all of these problems lies in learning and further learning.

This is not investment advice.

Just a warning. Engaging thru PMs makes you prone to scam attempts. scammers like it because there will be no one to point out their nonsense. Sticking to public communities like this forum is recommended plus it's better to get opinions from various ppl.

It's perfectly fine to share ideas but never try to seek validation as things can get ugly like losing accountability or being dependent on it. Are you maybe risking big op? that's why you cant take a step?

Have you ever considered using a bot to purchase, and sell at certain points. I'm not aware of many to be honest, but I know that Gunbot was a popular one back in the day. Basically, it allows all sorts of ways to invest, but at the very basic level you could set a buy price, and then a sell price. So, it would then do this automatically, even when you sleep which would remove any kind of emotion.

The only thing is; you would have to purchase Gunbot, and then you would have to find a hosting solution to be able to host it 24/7.

I will definitely second the Gunbot idea (for the obvious reason :)). Still, besides that, I truly believe you can find not just one companion but a whole community eager to interact with you in the Gunbot Telegram rooms, and yes, using a trading bot and combined with community support can help you control your emotions...

I also want to tell you that you don't need a VPS to run Gunbot 24/7. A decent computer will suffice.

Last but not least, this BTC dip is acting as a nice Gunbot discount ;)

I hope it helps, and please feel free to contact me on Telegram if you have any questions @CryptoDROI

This is so true and I wish there was a public chat option available at bitcointalk because it would enable discussions but still everything open and public. There are people who will take advantage of someone messaging them and will find a way to scam. Since accounts are sold and bought in our forum, that also means people can buy accounts and scam anyone who looks to partner with genuine traders.

@OP
I am also surprised that you said you are investing and into bitcoins since 2017 but you created your account now? I mean surely if you are genuinely interested in such deals you would want to post from your real account so it gives you some credibility. I don't understand the purpose of using a new account when you are looking to do partnerships which is most likely going to happen based on one's past and trust here.

I'm already doing that with some of my friends so I don't mind being able to chat with more people about crypto. You can send me a pm and we can make something happen.

The difference between anyone holding hundreds of Bitcoin now and anyone having a few Bitcoin is that they former were able to take that leap to experiment and test their luck and hence they are reaping the profits for the risk they took. Whenever you invest there is a risk involved in the short term but if you are for the long term then there is nothing much to worry.

 What are the technical things you look, the above examples you mentioned are expected reactions from the market and there is nothing unusual about it especially when SEC files a lawsuit and when someone popular who have a huge fan base promotes a coin you should expect the market to rally simply because the entire market is in a bull run.

There are many exchange related groups where you can share your ideas and so on and then we have the speculation thread.
Follow the news updates and act accordingly if you are expecting to make a good profit.

There ate telegram groups which offer the service at the same time give notification heads up on the possible market outcome thru charting, some are paid and others might be free subscription. But before joining in anything make sure you know how to trade or analyze charts or market to not be swayed in any decision making when you see some posting their speculations, it's better to join when you know how to analyze at least to not be fooled by anyone since at the end our decision will matter.

I’m also suggesting telegram group who tackles about trading, there’s a free group for that and those traders always share their insights about the market but of course, you still need to confirm if those members are sharing their real analysis to avoid losses on your part. Personally, I’d rather choose to trade on my own and analyze the market alone, maybe you just need to build your confidence in trading.

If your goal is just to discuss trade issues and exchange ideas, I think this forum provides everything without having to choose one person. here you can express everything and many members will give their opinion. if you can't make up your own mind you still can't trade properly. All decisions in trading are your choice.
do not trust other people's opinions, you must learn how to do analysis. trading knowledge will really help you and start learning today.

When you trade, you don't take decisions of others or looking for approval of anyone first before going on. You can find various telegram groups that are discussing trading but you'll rarely find the legit ones because most of them are only discussing pump and dumps and also the new craze of meme coins. I think you only have to do the trade alone so that you'll gain experience and in the long run you will not be reliant on anyone and needed to have those phone calls just for your decisions.

From what you have written, i believe your problem is not just having a companion but working on your psychology. Your problem now is fear of executing a trade due to your past experience which had really affect your trading faculty.

 I had a friend that was once like you. He was having this same phobia of getting into a trade due to his previous loses.This affected him a lot even when he knows that a particular trade would change trend, he would still not take the trade and later blame himself for his weakness.

I would advise you to go and read the book written by Mark Douglas which is tittled THE DISCIPLINE TRADER. I believe this would help you a lot in working on your metal/trading psychology. What you need now is something that would change and renew your trading perspectives. You can also join a mentorship program that would also help to reshape your trading arsenal.

right. we have to dare to analyze and in the end we have to evaluate it, what are the weaknesses and something that must be done. if this is done continuously, of course our skills in trading can improve. I think analysis from telegram groups or other social media is only a reference, and of course we must be confident

This forum is also a good source of everything about crypto. There is altcoin discussion board where members share their thoughts what is a good to buy and their insights of that particular coin, there is also bitcoin discussion board where bitcoin events and opinions are shared. Try to find also discord and telegram groups where people that have the same interest with you share their thoughts about the current state of crypto market. Just don't purely rely your decisions on them.

They really are and must only be a reference of yours. But if you think that they're good decision-makers and you think will help you grow. That's for you to decide. But to me, I wouldn't put myself reliant on those groups and make myself decide for things that I'll do whenever I trade or invest. It's just I find it odd when someone finds another guy just to have his confirmation and becomes his adviser on his investments because we should be the one deciding on it.

Not bad to look for others ideas and opinion but its true that it isn't really just right that you would really be putting all your trust on it and trying to rely on every thing that they do say.

Nothing beats out if you do rely with your own analysis and in case you do lost then the feeling of regret isn't really there and also you would learn from that not compared

when you are just simply following someone and then you lost then feeling of regret is there.So better be mindful between the two.

We share great ideas about crypto happenings and there's a lot of telegram group that tackles about trading but if you really want to have a real companion about trading better to look for a close friends that is very close to your heart so you share the real ideas and you can call him any time you want, It's hard to find real people in cryptomarket seriously and its very few of them that will give their personal details so they can be friends with you.

It’s really good to have friends in trading or someone that can guide you by this, you can know what are the things that you need to improve and that friends will guide you on that. I still believe on humanity and if there’s a lot of good people here actually I’ve met a lot of friends here and we talk about not just trading but also opportunities. You can have a good friend on your local community, look for that group now.

There are too many groups local that you can join, for example, a trader of Binance created a local group on Telegram or discord.  It's easy to find them and join if you really wanted to join.  If you're a friendly person, you can easily find a companion in trading but I suggest not to easily trust unknown people that you don't know yet.

Friendly advice, what's the use of a companion if you know how to do proper research in trading, make your own analysis, and deciding on your own risk.  IMO, it might just be creating FUD if you will join a group with a different opinion and might also distract your trading plan.  Well, we'd different perspectives way on how to trade but that's only my own opinion.

Another tip if you want crypto news, subscribe to the Coindesk Telegram group or Cointelegraph that actively giving hot news towards crypto.

A good friend will really help a lot in helping the business sometimes it is not possible for one person to control everything, but it is possible to overcome the risk if one has a good knowledge of the other person's market going into a good friend business can be popular and extremely profitable. The earning potential of the business probably attracts the most candidates although it takes more than technical and learned skills to be successful in the field.

That's a very good point actually because bots/services that offer prices in BTC instead of dollars, it's a good time to maybe purchase them. I checked gunbot and you are right, their prices are listed in BTC, although I am not sure if the prices are adjusted based on the price movement.

By help do you mean help with gunbot or help with trading in general? I see from your profile that you are a re-seller of the gunbot but if I guess it's much better to purchase the bot directly from the website maybe suing your code or some kind of discount coupon.

I have heard of gunbot earlier also but I am not sure how good it is. If possible and by chance, you read this comment, please share some stats of the bot like what have been the past trades/ROI so people genuinely interested can find some motivation.

but talking with anonymous ppl is very skeptical and there's a big difference with friends.. Don't just put trust to someone else especially if you don't know the background of it because there's a tends to scam you after all and that's the most worst when it comes such things.. So it always good to ask some help and guidance from your friends not to other ppl trust me especially nowadays wherein scam and fuds is increasing..

Right, don't get used to it because it's not good for us anyway,
Besides the big risk, such as indications of fraud, of course there are other things,
but apart from that it all depends on your decision

Does the OP is serious about this?
He is not active anymore, sorry but I never see any interest coming from this person.

Anyway, there is one thing that I could suggest to you (if ever you will come back soon), just be sure that you know exactly who with you. It is really hard to trust someone stranger in terms of money compared to the one you know already. May you old friends or one of your family member are the best company.

A lot of you guys here advise users to stay away from the above, especially Twitter/Facebook/Telegram. My question then is this — If people stay away from those, how are they going to learn? Aren't Twitter and Telegram a part of the social media like this forum and YouTube? Just like we have peeps saying thrash and trying to scam others on the above mentioned supposed "no-go-areas", so do we also have them here and on YouTube. The world is a terrible place. No place is a saint zone. Even in religious circles, people still get scammed and all nonsense stuff.

OP, it's not enough to get a trading partner if you can't pull the trigger yourself. I'm sure when that partner calls for a trade you may be hesitant hitting the buy or sell button yourself because of fright. Work on your emotion. That's what is inhibiting you.

Why do you need a companion? You have this whole forum haha. There are different boards and threads that you can engage and make discussion. Head over to the trading section. You might find someone. Just be careful. Scammers lurk everywhere. They are very desperate and find every opportunity to scam people. Wouldn't be surprised if few people already PMed you saying that they want to be your companion. They will try gaining your trust and then scam you.

I do not think this is such a good idea, on the surface what you are saying makes sense but what are you going to do the day you cannot contact this person? What will you do if you receive bad advice from this person? Are you going to blame him for losing your money?

To me what you are lacking is a strategy that is more formally stated and that you can execute without any doubt, and as long as this is the case you are still going to have doubts and will take yourself out of profitable trades, to me it seems a better idea to create a bot with your trading strategy and that trades automatically without any input from you so you do not miss those trades.

For sure there are people or scammers who had already pm'med op for that on where they are just simply trying to scam out in terms of on shilling out some coins or making out some pump and dump scheme or some sort.
You wont really be needing up a companion if you do really wanted to trade. It wont be that necessary but doesnt mean that you should close up your mind into learning or listening other suggestions.
Its true that you do have this forum alone which would really be enough for you to study on your own.It does just matter on how you do deal up or learn up into those informations that you had seek on.
Just go solo and you will find and learn on your own.

You can find a lot of trading companions but to know if that is active, legit, trusted? You will just find out once you've been together. Because all of these want to assume themselves and pretending they are good, are they?

I know there are people whom you can trust online but the question is if you can also be trusted? The same logic, the same reason we ended for, and that last one are who will fund the trades and manage it? Because instead of handling your money to others, better to have it in your hands for the safe keep.

^ This was what I am thinking when I heard companion, it is hard to trust random people that you encountered online, you will never know they are waiting for an opportunity to scam you. So looking for a companion is not ideal in trading. Instead, why you are not looking for a group that you can join for the open discussion regarding trading, I saw a lot of groups of a group of traders where everyone sharing the idea and thought for the potential coins but make it always sure this is not a pump and dump group. Nevertheless, a good piece of advice is to do your own research and trade on your own still the best for you.

Trust issues are really hard to acquire when we are online, all are in doubt so much better to work on our trades alone, with less risk on our side.

But the question is if OP would like to take such a risk knowing those instances and I'm not sure as well if OP could also be trusted.
I could think OP will just fail to look for someone who will accompany him. I'm not sure if he was still interested as we never see his reply anymore, weird.

Risk is on when you do entrust up your funds into someone but if you arent risking something then i dont see for any problems unless if you do really follow up his signals
blindly then you are really just making yourself putting into trouble. Im a loner or shy type kind of person which simply means that i do rather nor prefer to be alone
on things not only with trading but even on real life situations or activity i do. I dont need any companion or someone to be on the same line of career.
All of things that you do need to learn can be found online and the rest will acquire through experience.

There is nothing wrong if you want have some companion in trading. But of course, you need to be more cautious, because you know that  a lot of scammers arise here in the forum, they will pretend to be nice to you, but in the end they have intention to deceive others. Just be careful dude.

Finding a trading companion will be a tough task and search for if there will be an available, maybe they will be asking for a money in exchange for their consultation. Also, it seems to be having a trading companion based on your statements sounds being dependent on his stand or opinion that can gradually affect the way you decide your trading. It looks to be lame depending on others all the time. Trading is a tough task specially at first but if you somehow manage learning and doing it on your own, you can do it continuously. Better do it on your own and avoid getting distracted and be dictated by other people's stand like following famous or influential people's stand with regards on crypto. Be on yourself.

Trading competition is a good way of earning some cryptocurrencies but it need some fund to buy and sell to get rank by competition rules. Every Exchange has some trading competition going from time to time in which Binance, kucoin, latoken these exchanges has doing competition regularly. We can see their rules and take part for some profit. It need a experienced trader to be one of upper rank position in competition.

right, but if the market is in a bullish state, we hold a bit longer in a few months may be able to maximize the profit achieved. but one day the market may dump, and we have to be careful, especially when the market has no resistance to its left, of course we have to be more careful and don't be greedy

Also the great thing about the forum is that you are going to get all kinds of advice and perspectives that you may not have already thought, if you only have a person that you call your partner when it comes to trading then you are going to be limited by your and their knowledge about the markets.

But if you ask the members of the forum you will get a very diverse advice about the way a trade or investment needs to be conducted which will lead you to read a lot more articles and books about the topic and you will improve at an impressive speed because of this.

If this is about the influence of the news on an active trader's strategies, I really agree with what @hugeblack said.
As a trader, we must be aware of the FUD that is spreading and also the Hype of certain coins or tokens to be followed. An active trader should know some fundamentals and also technical analysis in order to measure the strategies to be implemented at that time.
And about some FUDs that you're referring to, never panic. There will be always FUD and they will never end by the FUD.

Looking for a trading companion is not something I recommend, because in the end there will be differences of opinion, and will make us confused.
Or it could be that we have to follow all the strategies suggested by our trading companion. That way we will become dependent on him. It will not
be good for our trading development if it is too dependent on others. We must believe in our own abilities, we have to learn how to analyze the market,
so all trading decisions are up to us to make. Because we ourselves know what is best for us, not others who may only care about their own interests.

i can be your trading companion. i am currently trading at binance and currently trading wrx/btc. if you want companion in trading yo can p me we can share insights on what to trade..pm me

Personally, I think the idea of a trading companion is great. I have talked before in the gambling section about a Buddy system and I think the same thing should work in Trading.

But less about sharing news and strategies and more like a real buddy system where you take care of each other. Notice when discipline is lacking and emotional play is coming, and tell the other guy: hey, respect your stop loss, man. For example:)

At first, as beginners, we really need a trading partner who is already a senior, so that we can open transactions and close them for certain reasons. after that later we will find our own personal way of trading, like the trading friend said as a guide when we are still blind in the world of trading

I would rather suggest to first demo trade to get your basics right, and then use automated trading so you can get helpful signals on when to enter / exit a trade. However do perform market analysis on your own as well. I do the same while trading crypto as I’m relatively new in this segment of the market, and therefore take help of forex signals to identify trading opportunities while trading on turnkey forex. Another thing that helps is backtesting, you will learn a lot about market behaviour.

This could be more useful but I doubt that is what the OP is looking, it seems to me he wants a mentor more than a companion and while there is nothing wrong with that at the same time we need to rely on our knowledge even if that means losing a few trades here and there.

At the beginning it will be hard but with enough experience we can overcome those first difficult steps and eventually learn enough about the market so we can become profitable by ourselves.

You just have to be careful to avoid been of victim of scamming or other illegal vices. I know there would be many users on this forum who can partner with you or possibly share ideas with you but most times the advice is you remain vigilant and never to share your key personal details to avoid been a victim of internet fraud or cases similar to that.

You may go for it but definitely this will not help you to recover your losses nor it will not guarantee you to get you any profits in the near future rather than you will be simply wasting your precious time. I mean no one could help you with respect to the current situation rather than simply trying by yourself to get profits to come out of all the losses you have faced with this crypto space.

The simple think you must need to do by yourself is, invest into bitcoin right now and try to hold it for years so that you will definitely get profits over the time. If you're still looking for short-term profits than probably you will get more losses rather than fixing your current situation. So, act carefully and by having solid plans.

This is what im supposedly to say on giving out some warning that there might be some offers from other users telling this telling that about on the thing he had been seeking of.

Honestly, having some trading companion isn't really that much of necessary since you would only be the ones who can handle out your own trade positions and the ones  who would be making decision towards your trading.

I don't see to be worth or in need that will be needing some assistance and also nothing be worth of if you do make out successfully with your own
ways and analysis without relying into others.

This is more like a having trading mentor not necessary a partner once the OP get acquainted with trading the OP can stand alone in trading having a trading partner will bring about divergent views between them when taking a trading decision thus work against them and the best bet is to learn and acquire all the necessary knowledge in trading before embarking on live trading using a small amount of fund for a test or trial once the OP is making consistent profits account can be funded with more money.
