Ask yourself this.

If you were a millionaire, making millions of profits every year. Would you waste your time teaching absolute noobs for pennies? It takes time to write ebook, make videos, answer questions, send trading signals. Why bother when you can make a few million doing just trading yourself?

This is why most of these courses are scams and waste of time.
3082  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Signal Notifications on: December 27, 2021, 06:47:03 PM
Moving average indicators work very well in trending markets. However they will chop you to bits in ranging markets, especially on the lower time frames.

So depending on which coin you back tested, let’s say SOL. Which has pretty much went up the entire year. Any MA combination which was long would of worked out fairly well.

However if the markets start to range it won’t work as well.
3083  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Kucoin vs FTX...which one do you recommend? on: December 27, 2021, 03:41:23 AM
I never had issues with FTX. Some people complained in the past about outages during rapid market moves however I never had that issue with FTX. Whether using the app or site.

The withdraw options are great because you can get free withdraws pretty much. Which is very rare these days. So since they are letting you withdraw for free it means they value their customers instead of charging for withdraw fees. Gemini is another great exchange with free withdraws.
3084  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How often do you change your indicators? on: December 27, 2021, 03:39:04 AM
Indicators won’t help you if you don’t know how to trade. They are never accurate. They are more of a confirmation but should never be used alone.

There are so many times when a MA can cross and you might signal a long on one timeframe but short on another. Or MA can tell you to long and RSI tells you to short. So they will never be reliable as you want them to be.

With experience you will know which trades to take and use indicators as a confirmation.
3085  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Future of USDT after Justin Sun Resigning from TRON on: December 27, 2021, 03:36:28 AM
I am pretty sure most people who hold tons of tether do it on either the Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchain. Most don’t keep large amounts on the Tron blockchain. Most likely due to Justin Sun. They want to be safe and feel better paying the higher fees on ETH or slower transactions on BTC network than using tron.

Tron is good for small amounts in my opinion. I agree it’s much cheaper and faster than Bitcoin and Ethereum. However it’s newer and hence why people don’t transact large amounts on Tron blockchain. So I see no issues for tether.
3086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ethereum still a viable alternative to Bitcoin? on: December 27, 2021, 03:30:57 AM
ETH has been an alternative to BTC for years already it’s nothing new. Years ago people use to keep tether on the Bitcoin blockchain but now it’s almost entirely used on the ETH chain.

They have been in competition for a while with ETH and BTC maxis and critics. However if you are thinking of investing just keep in mind that both market caps are already high and leaves the room for profit very slim. The best time to invest in these were 2-3 years ago during the bear market.
3087  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you know any meme coin that could be shiba or doge? on: December 27, 2021, 03:27:51 AM
Only way how I see any type of meme coins being successful again is if Elon Musk finally launches the Tesla merch store and he finally accepts Dogecoin as a form of payment.

Dogecoin will rally initially and if the rally doesn’t fade but keeps going up and up and gets crazy 25% days then I see something new rallying also.

However this trend seems to be over. Elon pumps doge and it keeps fading.
3088  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you know any meme coin that could be shiba or doge? on: December 25, 2021, 06:22:37 PM
There are maybe a dozen or so coins which tried to "Be the next meme dog" coin and many of them turned out to be scams or pump and dumps. I think you are really late this day in age looking for any new dog meme coins.

I think the evidence was when Elon said on his twitter that they will allow Doge payments for Tesla merch and the entire move faded. This is a bad outlook. Means that there are many bag holders which want to get out ASAP and there is a very good chance that it won't go back to the ATH.

So I would stay away from any new meme dog coins or cat coins at the moment.
3089  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Best coins to short as hedge on: December 25, 2021, 06:20:34 PM
You really are just better off selling the coins. If you think the market topped and bear market will start, many alts will go 90% loss from ATH. Sure you can short the future contracts however in a bear market the funding will be negative and you will be charged a premium to hold those contracts.

You can try selling the futures however you will need to roll them every 3 months and most likely at a backwardation.

So its possible however if you think the top is near, just sell and go into stablecoins.
3090  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Zikex.com Just stole my tether. on: December 25, 2021, 06:15:46 PM
I am not going to go to the website because most likely it has malware however one common scam are those videos that you find in youtube which say stuff like "want 10% daily profit by doing crypto arbitrage". Then you look at the video and it makes it seem like its some customer of the website teaching you some secret method on how to make money.

However that video is created by the owner of the website and usually the give away is when the comments are disabled.

Nothing you can do now really. Next time you need to do research first.
3091  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Rx580 still good? on: December 25, 2021, 06:08:47 PM
If you got the 8GB models then you can still make decent profit with them.

I think the RX series which was introduced in 2016 was the best value for money. You can pretty much sell them for almost the same price you paid as new. If you got the 4GB model then they aren't in as much demand because they can't mine ETH anymore due to the larger dag, there are other coins but the profits are just not the same.

Just make sure your fans have good bearings in them and you can mine away for the new couple of years without issues.
3092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I got the best Xmas gift ever buh on: December 25, 2021, 06:05:40 PM
I assumed aunts getting people iPhones or Macbooks was excessive but this aunt gave him $6K worth of GPUs, maybe I am living in the wrong country.

Either way, if your electricity frequently goes down. You need to get a decent surge protector. Most PSUs have one built in, however you should have a dedicated high quality surge protector for all your GPUs because if you get blackouts from time to time, there is a chance you will end up destroying them.

Congrats and enjoy your gifts.
3093  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Futures Trading (Cross vs Isolated Margin) on: December 24, 2021, 05:08:14 AM
For me, I like cross margin better than Isolated margin because that way I can lose all of my money at once instead of losing them at different times in Isolated margin.
At the end, we just lose money in margin trading and I have seen little to nobody who has made profits in the long term trading in futures.

Both Cross and Isolated have their pros and cons. If you want to play safer then Isolated is a better option since you can rethink of a better strategy for the rest of your trades.


LOL your first paragraph is hilarious. I sense some sarcasm there.

Generally you should only use isolated especially since you are trading many alt pairs. If you are only trading BTC or ETH then generally you can get away with cross.

However you shouldn’t use cross if you got multiple high leverage positions opened on many alts because a simple liquidation cascade can make you lose the entire account.
3094  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are new generation of investors more into gambling? on: December 24, 2021, 05:05:01 AM
Yes it’s more of less gambling. If you were ever reading any of the WSB you can clearly see that these people have no idea what they are doing.

They basically YOLO all their money on some options contract that expires in less than a week. And sometimes they get lucky and turn $3K into like $30K and do it over and over until they go bust.

Kind of like crypto traders go 100x leverage trading Bitcoin.
3095  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bullish Scenario - Minimum will reach $75000 on: December 24, 2021, 04:09:14 AM
Wonder how the start of next year will go. Most likely till the end of the year will be chop and then in January it’s going to be hard to predict.

Some are assuming a repeat of Jan 2021 where it went up exponentially and topped at $60K and others are expecting people to sell at beginning of Jan for the new tax year.

Then as we get closer to April tax time, it might be a repeat of 2018 where people are selling to pay their capital gain taxes.
3096  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Help w Hedging - Puts? on: December 23, 2021, 03:28:26 AM
Hedging by buying puts is not ideal. Why? Because the puts are very expensive. Buying puts is more as an insurance incase Bitcoin by a certain type can crash and you are protected but if it doesn’t and goes to ATH your put is useless but you made more money by not selling your Bitcoin.

Best would be to use a futures exchange like Bitmex or FTX and just short the March or June 2022 futures, and this way you don’t pay a lending or funding fee and you are shorting with a premium so you get a little more for your BTC than selling today.
3097  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: risk to reward the right balance? on: December 23, 2021, 03:23:18 AM
Honestly it’s very difficult to code any type of trading bot system that will work long term. You might also code one, and run a backtest and see if it’s profitable but when you trade it live you will find that it doesn’t work.

With crypto this is very common due to slippage and liquidity. A bot can’t account for slippage or liquidity. And a big issue with crypto is that many times during huge market volatility, the exchanges might go offline.

In a backtest you never account for this issues hence the bots are never going to be reliable.
3098  Economy / Speculation / Re: I know you have all been waiting in anticipation of on update.... on: December 23, 2021, 03:16:58 AM
Yeah Roger Ver is some character. From what I remember he said he is selling lots of his BTC for BCH but he never actually provided any proof. The only people that I know that sold a large chunk of their BTC for BCH was the Bitmain company which makes Antminer. They were very pro BCH and held tons of BCH, Didnt sell at the top and then later on we’re holding the bag.

First time I heard of Roger Ver was during the Bitcoin fork back in Aug 2017, prior to that I never heard of him before. He was called the Bitcoin Jesus because he apparently did lots for bitcoins early adoption in 2011-2012 or so but lately he has been acting very immature.
3099  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When Turtles Sell, Whales Acquire on: December 21, 2021, 04:38:37 AM
Another good way of finding a reversal in the crypto markets is to look at the funding rates. Basically when there are too many people short on the perp future contracts the funding rate is negative and vice versa if long.

So usually when the market has a bear trend like now and the funding is negative, means many people think crypto will go down and they go short. What usually happens is the reversal takes place.

This doesn’t work as well for bull markets because the funding can stay positive for a long Time before topping. So keep that in mind but works best for bear markets.
3100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU has no display after long term mining on: December 21, 2021, 04:34:17 AM
Most likely one of the display port or hdmi or dvi or however you plugged it into is just not working. Usually there is more than 1 display output and I had instances where one of the HDMI ports was bad.

It’s very rare to have a GPU with no display at all. Usually one of the ports is bad or if you have a damaged GPU when you get a display it will be all scrambled and have wavy lines.

Just try to plug it into another port and see if it works.
