greed will indeed destroy the trading strategy, even though you already have a good strategy,
but you are still emotional and greedy, profit will be difficult for you to get.
I agreed with you on how greediness spoilt some of my profitable trades I was expected to take  profit and leave unfortunately the market moved against me under my watchful eye the trade was stopped out imagine losing some decent profits due to greediness, this is a big caution to investors, this is the right time to take some profits and leave the rest to run, I hope the event of 2017 will not play out this time around, I remembered then some prediction of the price of bitcoin reaching $50K unfortunately price dumped and losses were incurred and disappointment and regret was the other of the day.

many regretted when the price of bitcoin in March experienced a drastic drop and did not buy it, I also experienced the same thing, regretted not buying it when the price of bitcoin fell, and to buy bitcoin that was safe you could buy it in a large exchange and to store bitcoin safely , you can buy a hardware wallet, because storing bitcoins in a hardware wallet is considered quite safe but the price is quite expensive
The fear and panic caused by the first wave of the pandemic during the month of March is enough to discourage people from buying bitcoin, the future was not certain, people had never experience this type of pandemic before thus calls for cautions in the way we live, there are job loses, lockdowns and restrictions in many places and economic recession of the other of the day all these unfavorable conditions are enough to discourage people from buying bitcoin its only the strong hearted that will muster courage and but it.

Manchester United and Solskajer need to keep up their good results next more matches to convince fans and observers that they actually build up a good team, good tactics, and they finally come back as a big club in Premier League.
Until now, I think Manchester United deserves to be called a title contender after 5 other names are competing in the standings. The difference in point between the teams is likely to cause the team in the top 5 to experience high pressure so that the slightest mistake will make them displaced by other teams. The EPL is getting tighter and still deserves to be called one of the toughest leagues in the world.

Arsenal has worst time in past 3 decades in Premier League but I believe and of course wish they won't be delegated when the season ends. To come back and fight for top 4, it will be a challenge for them, not only in this season but it can also be a challenge for few more seasons. Their squad are broken seriously.
I don't want to talk too much about Arsenal. They have been very bad this season and if they can't recover and impress then they will soon be in the red zone (relegation).
I believed after the busy holiday matches in the coming days the real title contenders will emerged, Chelsea is playing West Ham today and Arsenal on Saturday so also the other top teams having series of fixtures to battle with, obviously by the first week of January 2021 we should have clearer view of the table and relegation bound teams, of course some of the clubs with small squad will be fatigued having played many matches without taking a rest while the big clubs will rotate their players.
3864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin transaction fees be too high in the future? on: December 21, 2020, 01:33:37 AM
You got some point which is actually true. Actual sats value will really vary specially if the price of bitcoin would really go to the rooftop.

Even having that 1sat/byte will really be costly in near future but who knows? No one can predict on what would be the price ahead neither we do see hundreds of thousands
or would just remain into this level.

This had been a common issue with Bitcoin but somehow it is bearable or can be handled out.
Lightning Network is in its growth and fee on Lightning Network will be cheaper. In future, more developments will be considered and developed and they are things will happen. In 2017, fee was very high and the bitcoin network was stucked for weeks. Now, bitcoin climbs to $24,000 and the fee is low. You can open a debate that if bitcoin climbs to $50,000 and thousands of people are hurry up to sell their bitcoins, fee will be higher again. It is true but I have never thought the network and fee will be crazy like what happened in 2017.

I believe LN will be more popular in the coming years as crypto users will find a way how to avoid paying high fees. For sure, there will be options that will be implemented because if high fees will not be resolved, this will be the bottleneck in mass adoption.

True, but not only LN, maybe there are other platform that will help to minimize the fees and bitcoin will be massively adopted still. The transaction fee is really the reason why people is not using bitcoin in the long run, of course who would use bitcoin if you'll have to pay $5 or more per transaction if you are only transacting a minimal amount. In short, bitcoin is no good for micro transactions.
Its been long I have been hearing of LN I believed it high time it Should be fully deployed into Bitcoin transactions, fees had risen up and the numbers of unprocessed transactions in the blockchain is equally high which is synonymous with when the price of bitcoin is high,
The high fee might discouraged institutional adoption if urgent steps is not taken to address this issue once and for all
Let LN be put into use at this point in time when more transactions is needed to be process swiftly thus reducing the numbers of transactions that had queued in the mempool this will decongest the network.
3865  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin $318K by December 2021 on: December 20, 2020, 03:25:51 PM
too high if the price can go up to $ 300k, even I don't think so, it will be at least $ 30,000 which is good. so now prepare yourself for an even higher price
Price reaching $30K is very reasonable and attainable can even be more that value in 2021 however the price quoted by CitiBank Managing Director that the will reach $318K is not feasible and exaggeration, it is just the usual hype and the reasonable expected prediction was that the price will reach $100K in 2025 link https://primexbt.com/blog/bitcoin-price-prediction-forecast/ the market Cap will continue to increase gradually with inflow of core investors and mass adoption of the coin by big organizations all these are the catalyst that will pump the price to a higher price.

This is indeed a tough one. It’s hard to sell when things are pumping and you don’t want to miss the top. But then you don’t want to miss the top and end up losing 90% value like that happened to most alts in 2019 after the pump. Controlling greed is key.
People should start to use their sense to determine which is the best time to sell our coins. I have seen that so many times people have not sold their coins when the bullish happened and they have ended in a big lose cuased by they can't take the opportunity and they keep hold their money in their wallet. That's something that must not be done by anyone.
People should sell at least some of their portfolios.
It is better to take some profits to prevent regrets just as the OP emphasized, with some little research a hodler should use indicators that can indicate overbought zone of the price RSI indicator is very helpful in that regard however when the price reached overbought zone it either price  dump completely or pullback a bit before continuation of the bullish run however to be on a safer side it better to partially take some profits to avoid touching stories cryptos are highly volatile in nature.

I had a bad experience in forex trading when I started as a newbie, I had the impression that trading is a get rich scheme thus I must earn huge profits within a shortest period of time thus prompted me to trade without a stop loss sometimes ago, the price kept moving against me while thinking that it will reverse in my preferred direction even the broker has given me red line on my margin unfortunately that was how my portfolio was wiped off and account rekted

~snip~

Manchester United won their away match a few days ago. So, tonight could be their flop at home. (that's the pattern  Grin)

Planetofbets give them 1.68
Manchester United 1.68 - Draw 4.3 - Leeds United 4.56

Also, I find these odds interesting.
Everton 2.45 - Draw 3.34 - Arsenal 2.9
Despite the table, Arsenal is still a big club.
LDLLLD for their last 6 matches and this match could give them a high motivation to win this match, or they would be f*cked up this month because they will face Chelsea on the next fixtures.
You are right about arsenal i think that they can win this much and after securing one point in the last match with 10 peoples against sothampton in their top performance this season they should be motivated but it won't be easy

I also really hope Arsenal don't drop points against Everton, because Arsenal have to get up and improve their performance this season.
It's not easy to beat Everton, but with the quality of the players Arsenal have is slightly better than Everton. Arsenal should be able to beat
Everton, and Arteta must be able to motivate Arsenal players to make fighting spirit Arsenal players increase.
If Arsenal players are well disciplined in today's match playing by avoiding the usual Red card I believe they should be able to win their match against Everton today, their players knowing they are under pressure and the job of Arteta is at stake they should be able to prove their critics wrong and come with a sparking performance against their host while not playing at home is an added advantage because of the poor home records in their previous matches, Although Everton won their two previous matches against two tough opponents Chelsea and Leciester City an indication of good form definitely it going to be a tough match.

Pain of a bounty hunter is a time of disappointment,
yes when joining a bounty program with a long duration, and the project is a scam,
that's what makes me as a bounty hunter feel sick, I know this is the risk, but I'm still human after all
The experience is very painful I had personally passed through such a situation  in 2018, I put in much effort in a bounty campaign that took almost two months and even extend their bounty period to detriment of some hunters who had already made up their mind to promote another project knowing that leaving at that time amount to non payment of their tokens even after extending the duration of the campaign sadly it ended as scam, it was a disappointing experience of course bounty campaigns are not regulated that is why scammers are having a field day.
3870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 1x2 vs the correct score bets on: December 19, 2020, 03:31:07 AM
Guessing with 1x2 will be easier to be right, while predicting the correct score the chance is very small but it is not impossible to get it right every now and then there are even members who are able to win the event two times, and I'm sure players who use real money will prefer 1x2 instead of guessing the match score.


Of course, the probability of winning one of the teams is much higher than the probability of guessing the score of the game.  That's why most players choose 1x2 bets. It is of course possible to guess the score by chance, but guessing the score for several games in a row is unlikely to work.
Even expert pundits wouldn't predict the correct score the best they can do is to predict the likely winner between the two teams based on their own analysis, I used to follow Lawro BBC weekly  soccer analysis on English premier League an expert in that field link https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55307810  however its often difficult for him get an accurate 1x2 score although there are few occasions when his predictions is accurate last week he got 3 correct score out of 10 thus less than average, I prefer under/over goals based on track records of a strong team playing a weaker team.
3871  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who are the 1% of traders who earn with trading? on: December 19, 2020, 01:58:43 AM
Quote
•   Within 3 years, only 13% continue to trade
•   After 5 years, only 7% remain trading
•   The average individual investor underperforms a market index by 1.5% per year
•   Active traders underperform market by 6.5% annually

I find this to be true when I think of myself and many people I know.

Only 7% remain after 5 years because trading is exhausting physically and mentally. Most people can't live in stress for years.

People underperform the market because they are impatient. They see it going up and sell when they reach their target but their target often is not the market's target.
To ease this mental and physical stress enabled a lot of traders to transform their strategies to bot in cryptos trading and Expert Advisor EA in forex, spot and indices trading, to automate their trading so as to reduce the stressful nature of trading a lot of them are making profits consistently I believed there are many of this set of traders that isn't capture by the statistics I believed the overall profitable traders should be more 1% IMHO.

Manchester United are no longer playing at CL and they should be able to concentrate more on the EPL to improve their standing at least to still be able to play in CL next season this is more likely whereas.
Man Utd had already qualified to the next round of Europa league they are playing Real sociedad both home and away although the fixture is  billed to take place on 18/02 and 25/02  next year for now they (Man Utd) should utilize this opportunity and period in the absence of Europa league and perform well in EPL thus battle for the top 4 for qualification in next CL before the resumption of top flight matches next year.
3873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you rely on the odds when placing bets? on: December 17, 2020, 08:55:45 PM
Matches are becoming unpredictable these days especially in EPL games, choosing a lower odd with the hope that the chances of winning the bet by the favorite team is bright is not guaranteed this season and has become thing of the past e.g in 6 previous matches played by Arsenal in EPL has a lower odd based on their track records of winning while playing a lower table or mid table teams  however they lost many of these matches thus a bettor who staked Arsenal to win will eventually lose, the match used as example by OP was not a sure bet because arsenal eventually lost that match against Burnley.

Its quite unfortunate that you lost such a huge amount of money to scammers I believed you fell into the hands of phishing sites who disguised as real site nevertheless are fake, alarm has been raised in this forum on numerous ways at which scammers subtly steal people money and ways to checkmate or prevent it mainly by activating 2FA. all the major exchange and wallets had already enabled this important feature which I believed will stem various ways at which scammers defraud people.

Non availability of any resistance that can trigger a price Action which the price could settle for a retracement or pullback  is strong signal that the price can dump massively just like the event in 2017 when bitcoin reached all time high, this is indeed a sound warning from the OP so that many investors wouldn't be caught unaware of any dump of course history repeat itself, I am sure a lot of speculations now is that price will reach $50K or $100K thus a lot of investors or hodlers will be carried away with this kind of predictions while some clever trades will take partial profit now in case of any eventuality of the price dumping.

Unefortenetly arsenal are late in score another time and this time againts southampton after walcotte goal in the first 20 minutes of the match...lets see the reaction of arsenal players in the second half
Arsenal scored a goal in the second half. But one of their main defender Gabriel Magalhaes is now out of the field after receiving a red card. Arsenal have less than one player now. I think this is a big opportunity for Southampton. They should win this match.
The situation of Arsenal is now becoming pathetic, who is going to bail out this team? their disciplinary record in EPL is getting out of hand Arteta is also becoming clueless with the players getting Red cards in all  matches, If Arteta is not getting things right they should show him the way out else Arsenal  will start to battle relegation, they have never had so bad like this current season Ironically they won all their Europa matches but unfortunately couldn't transform that performance in the league.
3878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: December 16, 2020, 05:54:15 AM
Neto late strike sinks Chelsea and the shock from West Brom battle to earn point at Man City. The table of Premier League looks more weird with very thin gap among top 11 clubs. Aston Villa stays at the 11th position but they have 2 more matches in hands.

The appearance of Wolverhampton with 20 points and 13 matches (same points with Manchester City but one more match) makes the table really weird. The Premier League need a few more rounds to have a better classification on the table. I hope I will see it after the next 10 rounds.
The EPL table is so weird that there is no team that sits comfortably on the table leading with a wide margin or gap any slip from the top table teams mean teams below them will overtake them, the points that separate them is between the interval of one to six even some of the team has one or two outstanding matches which makes it very interesting, I agreed with you that in the next 10 rounds we should be able to have a clearer picture of the league leaders particularly as the festive period approaches match fixtures will be in two to three days intervals.
3879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: December 15, 2020, 04:19:14 PM
Wolves are always a tough knot against Chelsea, it's a must win game for the blues to keep the fight for league title tight. Pulisic is back to full training.

Just a small correction. Wolves are not a tough opponent only for Chelsea but for any team. Sorry but I find it very hard for Chelsea to take the win, their scoring problem is not small and Wolves defense is solid without any problems regarding basic players.
Wolves is always cause problems to big EPL teams I remembered last season they defeated Man City at Etihad stadium and also defeated Man Utd at Molineux Stadium, although lost Chelsea, the duo of Raul Jimenez and Rui Patricio were in-form then, however they are not a push over club Chelsea has to work hard to win this match else they will have themselves to blame if they lost that match, I agreed with you on their defensive record their defenders Willy Boly, Conor Coady and Max Kilman has been very outstanding this season.

What happen this year to arsenal is really terible...this lose was not expected at all and many arsenal fans though that this must be the new beggening for arsenal but this lose will spread total doubt and panic among the team...also they will receive southhampton in the next round and this match will be prety hard
Personally I felt bad as an arsenal fan, It has never been as worst as it now even in the era Arsene Wenger things had never gone from bad to worst, it high time Arteta  benched some of  indisciplined players to reset their brains, if arsenal cannot defeat a relegation team then what is their chances of defeating a top or mid-table team?  how will they defeat in-form Southampton next weekend? the board should take a drastic decision now before that team becomes subject of ridicule.
Someone said this because Arteta did not include Ozil in the 2020-2021 squad, but I myself don't understand whether Ozil's presence will greatly affect the results and if Arteta changes his mind is it possible to added Ozil in the list of squad at the middle of the season? I don't know it allows for changing up player's squad at the middle of the season.
Arsenal is lacking creativity in the midfield in the absence of Ozil this man will create a final pass for their strikers to score goals Abumegang is not getting those killer passes, the present bunch of players in the midfield lack the tactical ability to create those passes, the likes of Ceballos. Wilnock, Partey and Elneny who ought to be creative as well as attacking midfielders are not doing enough, they are all playing holding midfield without attacking with the ball except holding possessions which is absolutely useless without scoring goals.
Its likely that Arteta brings him back into the squad provided he is not sacked before his arrival a link to the story https://the96illusion.com/2020/12/13/mikel-arteta-hints-possible-ozil-return-to-arsenal-squad/
