101  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is the secret to success in trading? on: December 02, 2020, 11:00:15 AM
sometimes when I speak to people that have begun their journey as traders they tell me about all the indicators and strategies that they use and when I take a look at their charts it is a complete mess, it doesn't matter how smart you are no one is going to be able to understand what is going on in that chart, for the most part you only need three or four indicators to be able to become a competent trader, but obviously this is only true if you know how to use them.
These indicators might work well in the regular stocks market and currency trading but when it comes to crypto market thing are not as simple because I have seen some of the best in the trading market being dumbfounded by the market movements and so I think there is literally no way one can predict the prices movement correctly.

I mean if there was someone who can actually do that they would be billionaire by now so everyone reaching the charts and everything are just speculating and no one can predict the actual price or bear/bull run of Bitcoins.
Fortunately you do not need to predict the direction of the market 100% of the time to make profits out of it, as long as your money management skills are strong and you have a strategy that can profit from the markets then it does not matter if you lose many trades as long as you win more during the trades you happen to win, this whole idea of predicting the direction of the market 90% of the time or more is a myth and even a system like it could be a losing one if the 10% of your losses are massive while your wins are small.

It all matters with the risk management thing and its a must on where people should really be thinking off rather than trying to have that 100% accuracy and effectiveness towards trading.

Theres no such thing about having perfect trades and don't try yourself to be that perfectionist because losses are inevitable but same as said, try to make yourself profitable inspite of
committing losses because it all matters on how you do handle up your trades.

Success does mean sustainable in longer runs and don't rush up on doing it.
For me it is true that it is about risk management, even if you know a lot of trading terms, strategies and setups but if you do not have good risk management then you will still fail and cannot make consistent gains in trading. There is saying that risk management is one of the key for us to become a trader wherein we have high winning rate. Trading is a process and it is a long game wherein you cannot just become a good trader with one trade alone, newbies should focus on risk management first before they put large amount of money in their portfolio. If you want to protect your money while making consistent gains, try to learn how to apply risk management in your executions.
102  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: does it really make sense trading on Bitcoin? on: December 02, 2020, 03:47:44 AM
Everyone has it's own preferences here, others maybe a bag holder, then there are group of people who loves to trade bitcoin, others look at it as reserve assets, store of money or even currency. So everyone is very different, as bitcoin is a decentralised system so I would say that there are no right or wrong. As long as you are making money here then you are good to go. No need to hate certain group as it is their call.

Gold is different though, it is centralised and we might say that majority are in the government's control.
Just focus on what you want, you cannot force yourself to do trading if you do not have good skills in technical analysis. I'm a holder before but I switch to become a trader because my character doesn't suitable for holding anymore where I do not have more enough patience. Trading is good as long as you have good planning because it is more complicated when it comes to holding where you just need to have a lot of patience and self confidence in order to do it. Do not misunderstand that holding is easy because it also requires planning and risks management in order for you to successfully do it. You can do both of it but my advice is just choose one because mastery is important and you can become more profitable if you will focus in one area.
103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: France's gambling recovers on: December 01, 2020, 11:27:21 AM
The economy will recover fast if the government will allow for the casinos to 100% operate but the problem is it is too crowded especially in traditional casinos that may cause to the growth of the active cases of the covid 19 virus and it is the reason why for me it is good if majority of casinos will just operate 50% in order to maintain the physical distancing and to avoid the growth of the virus. It is good that the government of France let the casino operate again and they are getting huge tax from it to fund different types of project that can help to their economy to recover. In my country the casinos are now starting to operate again but the problem is they remove a lot of workers because of the expenses and they are not fully operating wherein it is not yet crowded like before and the health protocol inside casinos are so strict inside the casinos. 
104  Economy / Speculation / Re: Heavy BTC resistance at $20k on: December 01, 2020, 10:22:08 AM
It is the last major resistance and it is the reason why the price cannot yet surpass it, actually the current candle is a deciding candle wherein if price manage to stay above $19,250, expect that the demand will increase and it can help to beat the last major resistance. But once the price did not hold it then expect that the bitcoin will have more time in order to beat the current ATH. Look at the bid and ask board wherein a lot of people want to sell at $20,000 because it is psychological and major resistance where a lot of people expecting that the price will reject once it touch it but once the price manage to break that major resistance, it is the sign that we can see that the bitcoin will go higher wherein it will create new ATH because the bitcoin will enter in virgin area where it is the first time of the bitcoin to surpass $20,000 and there is no resistance in that area that is why there is a high chance that a rally may happen. 
105  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Follow a trading process. on: December 01, 2020, 08:27:34 AM
In trading there is a necessary steps to do before starting your journey in trading. Make a trading plan than chasing a quick profits. In order for us to be successful in trading we should know the process when to enter position and when to exit. Since market conditions can be shown in down or uptrend. However, having a solid trading plan profits will follow especially to those who are newbie in this journey.

Take baby steps if you are just in the learning phase, majority of new traders are keep failing because they keep skipping the basics of the trading. They switching quickly in the harder concepts that can make them to be confuse more. There is no shortcut in trading journey because you really need to experience a lot of things. You should also be patient trader where you should not quickly expect that you will become a professional trader by just weeks or months. Trading is a journey and it is not a race so just be sure that you will have guts to learn and to master a lot of strategies in trading.
106  Economy / Gambling / Re: Chips.gg |🎰 New Slots Weekly |🎰 New Providers Relax Gaming & Big Time Gaming on: December 01, 2020, 06:37:38 AM
Slots as we all know is base on pure luck, doesn't matter how much you bet, if it's your lucky day then whether whales or just average players, you can hit it with mega multiplier.

Indeed, it is on pure luck.  Sometimes, a single spin can land to a bonus round, and sometimes even with 200  or more spin can't land you a single bonus round.  I had experienced them both.  And what funny is even if we are lucky enough to get a bonus round, we are still unsure whether that bonus round can give us a multiplier.  There are times that I won't hit a single win in a bonus round after hundreds of spin to get into it. Cheesy

It's the craziest part, when you wait that bonus bet after bet, bankroll is going down like crazy, and when you finally land on it, you get literally nothing, some funny & low payout! Been there many times!
Slots! Who plays them knows how crazy they can be, crazy good and crazy bad! It's why slots should be played only with money you can lose and not get emotional over that loss!
All games are based on luck, if you are not playing a p2p game like poker or so, we are talking about gambling here and in gambling everything is based on luck without any exceptions.

Slots are purely luck based, dice is purely luck based, plinko is lucked based we can continue to talk about what we can and at the end of the day we are not going to suddenly have games where being smart could mean you could make a profit, there is no way for that and it is mathematically impossible for you to win in the long term. So basically, all games are luck based and slot is not an exception to it.

The thing about slots is that you have a million of them and some of them are gamble a lot and win once to profit big, and some of them gamble some and make almost all back each time losing slowly, like there are all kinds of different slots.
Not all of games are based on pure luck but most of games are based on pure luck like slots and dice. Poker is not a pure luck gambling because you need to have strategy in order to win because you can dominate the game even if you have bad cards. When I play slots, I usually choose 50-50 probability and I run it for hours until I achieve my current goal or if it reached my current limit. I monitoring it for me to see if I'm winning or I'm losing; there are times that I have consecutive winnings but suddenly market will regain it because of my wrong decisions.

Slots are also base on pure luck because you do not know what bonus and combination that you may get, you are lucky if you get 100x or even higher multiplier in slots. I play it but I do not spend a lot of time because I got bored sometimes if I just playing slots for hours.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What's your opinion about today's Altcoin market situation? on: December 01, 2020, 04:35:24 AM
I can say that the market is still in bullish state and for sure that there will be some altcoins out there that will have a strong rally or what they call going to the moon. The altcoin dominance is still the same because bitcoin is currently trending where its price doesn't yet exhausted and a lot of investors are focusing on bitcoin only but once the chart of the bitcoin become unhealthy, expect that there will some investors that will withdraw their money and re invest it in altcoin market that can cause to its dominance to go up. The altcoins are doing good especially the ETH where its price suddenly recover after it got bounce in its support. I'm currently focusing on ETH because of its current movement where there is something gonna be good that may happen.
108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: These 2 Altcoins are beating every major cryptocurrency in week on: December 01, 2020, 03:22:09 AM
XRP and ADA have similar movement in these past days, try to look their charts wherein you will see that both of them have previous rally and after they also make a retracement, both of them are also trending but ADA have more good chart than XRP. In terms of resistances, ADA only have 1 resistance before it finally reached its ATH while XRP have a lot more resistances before it finally beat its current ATH.

ADA is doing good but it need consolidation for a stronger rally and price breakout. If the ADA will beat the $0.18 and hold above it then a price surge may happen that can cause to its price to have double digit gains and more.
109  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does the RSI change based on future events? on: December 01, 2020, 01:46:10 AM
No, actually not. The RSI is based on the 14 (by default, this can be changed) candles before only. So look at the RSI more like compressed version of the chart. Same data, but in a different format. The RSI is very useful for trading and by far one of the most popular indicators. However, it does not tell anything about the future movement. It does only tell you the current state of the chart.

I hope that helps.
We cannot predict what will happen to the price of a certain asset by just looking in its RSI but we can have an idea on where the price may go, RSI is a momentum indicator wherein you can use in order to know the support and resistance, the current trend of the asset that you are monitoring and to know if a certain asset is already overbought or oversold area. Actually, I can trade cryptocurrencies with RSI and chart only, I already mastered how to use RSI. There are reversal patterns out there and continuation pattern that can help us to have an idea on where the price may go. It cannot really tell the future events but it is just a indicator that giving us convictions. 
110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this the long awaited bull run? on: November 30, 2020, 03:03:37 PM
I keep telling my co traders that they should now be prepared because there is possibility that the altcoin season will finally come, the bull run already started and there are only 2 possibilities and if the trend will suddenly die or it will become stronger. Look what happened to the price of the bitcoin, it dropped but the price easily recovered and it is now on the way to $19,000 again. Some of altcoins are copying the price of the bitcoin and you can see that the price of the ETH will break the $600 again. The XRP is also doing good even it has a recent crashed but the good thing the XRP also recover it easily.
111  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Crypto live forever or die? on: November 30, 2020, 01:41:27 PM
Not all of the cryptocurrencies will live forever because we need to understand first how certain crypto gain value in the market, it is all about supply and demand and a certain crypto will not have a value if there is no demand to it. Kindly look at the current cryptocurrencies where majority are keep dying one after another because there are no investors or traders who want to patronize those shitcoins. A certain crypto will not lose its value as long as there are willing buyers and market participants. Those worth it coins like bitcoins and some altcoins have value that keep increasing because people have huge demand to it wherein there are many people who are interested to participate in that kind of market.
112  Economy / Economics / Re: 2021 not Looking good on: November 30, 2020, 12:14:24 PM
We are still not sure about what will literally happen on year 2021 so it is too early to state that the upcoming year is not looking good already at this phase. With regards to crypto, we might be expecting a greater response in terms of its growth for we are seeing a positive response on the price growth this past few weeks up until now hoping that will last for longer time not just by the end of this year. With regards to economical status because of the existing pandemic, we can expect that there will be some positivity to arise since the vaccine created by Pfizer is already stated to be 95% efficient against covid-19 which is a great deal to say because it means that the economies of different countries around the world can go into recovery phase already.
I expect that the 2021 will be a good year, my first reason is because we are currently in uptrend wherein the price of different cryptocurrencies are keep increasing and for me this year is still the accumulation phase wherein I expect that the 2021 will be prosperous wherein there will be a lot of opportunities that we can see and we can grab all of those for us to not miss that kind of moments. The second is the pandemic that we are currently experiencing where I expect that all of the countries will finally solve their problem because of the vaccine that will be finished at the end of the current year. The businesses will finally comeback and the employment rate will increase again where it can affect the whole economy.
113  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Bearish on: November 30, 2020, 10:22:08 AM
Bearish for now but will not be bearish for too long, its typical that the price will fall dye to its continuously increase in price before. It can be a correction but after these price will sure to have it bull run again. I don't see it as a bear that we experience before. There is still a month left for 2020, price can still change though depending on how we will be able to monitor it. We can't blame others who already take profit since its indeed attempting to do as the price is already high.
For me it is not bearish because you just see a drop wherein the major supports are still holding, once the major supports break then for me it is only the time to consider that the price of the bitcoin is already in bearish trend. Look at the price of the bitcoin wherein it easily recovered after it got retraced, I actually did not expect that the price will quickly recover and I think many people accumulate when the retracement happens. For me the price needs to be stable inside the range and I want to see that the price will resists again in $19,500 but breaking it is good because it only means that we will see that the ATH can happen in this current year.
114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't venture into something you aren't completely sure about. on: November 30, 2020, 08:39:52 AM
For me mining is now not a good thing even though there are now powerful GPUs that keep launching in the market, before I considered mining as good when the price of the bitcoin is still not high but now, I do not think that it is a good investment because of the expenses and also the time in order to mine coins. Even though I have a huge capital, I will not force myself to make investment in something that I do not have knowledge, I want to mine before but I tell myself that I'm not yet ready because of the maintenance and also my current knowledge and skills. I chose trading over mining and I do not regret my decision because I already have long journey wherein, I finally understand the basics and the foundation of what I'm currently doing. For those who will continue to make investment in mining, I discourage you but it is still your decision just make sure that you have knowledge on what you are currently doing.
115  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: what is your unforgettable experience in trading? on: November 30, 2020, 07:16:37 AM
I am just a beginner in trading, before it all started I was just reading here and trying to get some hint on how to trade. I also wanted to learn in trading so that even if I was just at home i am also earning, i thought it's easy to do but i'm wrong. I was happy when I increased my token due to trading (buy and sell) and I tried to increase it again and bought the order again, but my token was left in the buy order and the token's value suddenly went up. I panicked and suddenly even though the value was high I still tried to buy, because I thought I might lose if I left my buy order because it was vague to be reached again because it was too high. And the result was only 1/4 of my total token left to me .. I was very sad but I couldn't do anything but to move on, and learn from my experience. The saying is very true to me that you will only learn from your own experience and not from the others advice.
This called with panic buying or selling in trading, looking for when coins have going down many people try to sell although loss much assets and don't care with other opportunity coins will grow up again, last another side many trader will be panic for buying when seeing coins have reach higher price and touch more than 50% or 100% but brave to buy without think before price suddenly will be dump. Make the experience as your lesson how to manage good management trading on the next time, you must know when have to sell or buy some coin and always remember never buy on coin have raise higher price because its not worth and make you have hold for long time.
Panicking is what we should avoid especially if we want to protect our capital in trading, it is all about having self-confidence and knowledge. Those two are important and it is connected to each other wherein if you do not have any one of them then you will not overcome the panicking wherein it can affect your trading performance. There is panic that is happening if you do not know what you are doing and it is the reason why experience is important because having a lot of experiences can help us to have self-confidence to execute our plan. Pressure in trading is normal but we can handle it if we have skills and also knowledge to determine what kind of strategy that we should use. I remembered before that I keep panicking but the good thing is I managed to overcome it because I have determination to learn about new things in trading.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊[Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: November 30, 2020, 06:12:21 AM
We were all suckered by this fight, hehehe, draw when majority saw that Tyson really won the fight.
Even Dana White called it for Tyson, both of them are close so we don't know, maybe we can see a cross-over, Tyson fighting in UFC?

I don't want to see him in UFC he is into boxing if he go there that means he is promoting mixed martial arts, Mike wants to have the glory of boxing back, and besides who he gonna fought, legendary fighters in UFC?, there are still available options for Tyson Like Shannon Briggs, Holyfield, Kevin Mcbride.
All of these boxers can attract PPV sales just like this fight.

Tyson getting dragged into the Octagon is definitely one of the most ridiculous decisions Dana and other promoters and organizers could ever make. That is 100% stupid. But it could happen because there are foolish and greedy people in this world.

Tyson already opened up in the post fight interview that he is now into charity. And he could once again wear his gloves to fight in the name of charity but not as a professional fighter. And I guess he is very much reasonable on that statement.
He already reached the summit of his career so there is no reason for him to fight as a professional boxer again. Even though he still got the moves, he is now old to fight seriously so I think there is a big disadvantage if he will fight the younger boxers. Mike Tyson already changed and it is the reason why he fight because he wants to donate a lot of people who are having hard time to buy their necessities. Mike said that he wants to fight again as long as the money will be use to help a lot of people. For me I want to see Mike will fight the current champions in heavyweight division but there should be rules because Mike is now old wherein it is risky to fight younger active boxers.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊[Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: November 29, 2020, 04:51:05 PM
Let's take a minute of silence and take a bow for those who bet on Tyson to win the fight and lost big time. Smiley
Lol, stop it man.. maybe let's take a moment of silence for those who did not think of betting the DRAW.
Anyone, what's the odds for the DRAW, can't remember anymore.

And yeah, no one wanted to see either of this fighters lose, so perhaps the people behind this exhibition says that it's better to end this on a draw. But basing on performance? Tyson still have it, was able to train and put his body into a better shape eventhough he is not that active compare to Roy. The real winner here is the charity that they are going to rewards the proceed of this fight.
People believe that Tyson won the fight, but Jones Jr. is smart, he felt the power of Tyson so he wasn't engaging match, it wasn't as what we are expecting, clinching after clinching..  Grin
He keeps clinching because he wants to prevent Mike Tyson to destroy his body especially his ribs wherein Mike Tyson keep giving Roy jones body blow consecutively. Clinching is a strategy in order for him to waste the time and prepare for a good opening. For me Roy Jones performance is not good even though he is younger than Mike unlike before where he keeps destroying his opponents with his powerful hooks. Mike is really a good fighter and his moves are not still rusty and you can see that he is still the Mike before where he is still doing his signature moves.
118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you scared? on: November 29, 2020, 03:31:24 PM
How can we erase the negative thoughts of people over bitcoin? Nobody has any negative thoughts over dollars or there various currencies, We need to think about it.

Fiats do have some negatively and they're been discussed daily on the forum. Try researching the forum on Bitcoin vs USD and you'll see them. The banks and government are trying their possible best to present their scam as the best form of money but their efforts has been cancelled with the introduction of cryptocurrency. Before now people thought the idea of decentralized finance was just a theory and can't be practicalized but that's not the case anymore.

If you're trying to convince anyone to see the good in bitcoin and they're refusing then let them be. Don't force the technology on anyone before they put the blame on you when their gullible nature puts them in tight situations. Only fools or ignorant individuals sees what's good and intentionally ignore it.
Proper education is the key, there are many ignorant people out there but we cannot blame them because it is not their fault. Look at the big institutions nowadays, this is the only time that they consider bitcoin as good because of its value that is increasing. Most of the individuals are having education but the problem is not all of information are valid to use because there are fake news and misconception in different society, there are still some who believe that bitcoin is only for crook people where they always think that using it is illegal. That misconception can change through proper education wherein a certain people can easily know when to use and how to use bitcoin properly without negative thoughts. The transaction system will improve if we have proper education wherein most of the people will become aware on how bitcoins works.

Participating in airdrops are not good anymore for me because they are not profitable unlike before where you can earn a grand in just 1 airdrop. There are still some airdrops that legit and giving huge reward but to find that kind of project is really rare because it is just the 0.1% of total airdrops in the market. Finding it required a lot of research and also choosing skill, that kind of airdrop is the big deal wherein your participation is really worth it unlike the majority of the airdrops are jokes wherein you can consider it as a waste of energy and effort if you allocate your time caring and participating in those shitty airdrops.
120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You can't always hit the right target on: November 29, 2020, 09:42:04 AM
The word "bounty" means getting paid for capturing or retrieving something right? There is no much difference with bounty hunting on this forum too, the meaning of bounty shows that you can't always catch things right, there will be times when failure will occur but some people wants reward for every single projects they promote, even if you are a pro bounty hunter who's very smart at choosing projects you won't always make the right choice.


start acting like a real bounty hunter, if projects don't work out then move on because it's bounty hunting
That is the spirit necessary for newbies who want to make money from bounty, I find it not difficult but need time and learning. No one can start to achieve success if it is not lucky, there are a lot of bounty projects on the bounty theme and it gives us more choices in this job. Scam projects and good projects appearing on this topic will help newcomers more experienced in finding and evaluating a project. So if you try to work, the results will definitely come to you, if you have failed the bounty projects, don't be discouraged, but start working on the next project, I believe that the results always come to real hard workers.
That's why skills in researching is important wherein a bounty hunter should prioritize and develop that specific skill in order to find a legit bounty project, not all of the bounties can give you returns and it is why I considered participating in bounty have huge risks. I'm a bounty hunter before but I did not continue it after I got scammed, the risks are high and it is the reason why we should not just join quickly in specific bounty project because the majority of it are not becoming successful and there are some who are just deceiving a lot of people. Invest in your education first and have improve your researching skills in order to know what projects you should participate.
