I quit my job to do full-time crypto-trading. Made 12 BTC profit last month

[WASTERPINKY]

I don't see the deals you made, can you share them again? Did you make sure you tested your system enough before quiting your major job? How consistent you wins are, and why do you think you can sustain your livelihood from just trading? I know people live by trading forex and even make good money, but those people work for proffesional firms with huge funds on their disposal, and their profits (ROIs) are not bigger than 20-30 percent per year.

Heard about how profitable trading is and with little/no knowledge of trading jumped into trading, only to come out with a blown account
Any one aspiring to be profitable in trading must first learn and understand the basis of trading. Trading is profitable... Yes! But it is good to learn first.

And also try demo trading that is available for free.

A range of $10200-$10450 lasts for about 4 days already. Good diapason trading opportunity. If white levels are broken the price is likely to meet the following substantial levels as targets.

maybe you have good trading skills so you can get out of work and can be full time in crypto, I think this is risky but if you really make a profit, I think keep going and you can try to look at the charts of market movements every day to make sure you get profit.

[Mark_R]

Closed a half of ETH long. Looking for the targets 1-2. Anyway, put a trailing stop due to uncertainty.
Btw, this is a perfect illustration of a general market rule that a strong trend often beats a horizontal level. But it depends. Look straight in the orderbook.

Yes, it definitely is, but you bear risks together with getting an opportunity to obtain unlimited profit (if you have skills on trading and money management)

Trading is really good, l experience it too and l earn in every trade. So I continue to buy and sell lve learned that you have to be patiently monitor the prices going up and down. That's the only way to make money easily. I need hard work.

The mood of the day:

While a trailing stop cares about the rest of my #ETH position, the only thing I care about is the amazing lakes of Croatia.

Reloaded.

The beautiful side of working without boss as an independent trader, you can travel the world while making money without the distance and time limitation. Good luck to the traders who have started their journey which we read as a source of motivation. It is not everyone's cup of tea, so many traders failed to achieve the long term goals due to lack of emotional management. Greed and fear are the drivers of the our trading goals in the short term but long term traders don't have the mentioned obstacles. All the best!

Think first before you quit a job..but it is all yours when and how would you do it for you're own sake. When you're not compatible with your time to do it both with your job and to trade, , i think much better you quit and you need loss one of them. And if to trade is your choice.. Then its good for you. Do it for your own good.

Definitely it is a complicated decision that considers your skills, ambitions, time responsibilities and so on

- He may not need your advice when the fact proves that he made the right decision, he made a lot of money from trading, your advice should be used for many people here who just look at the topic and feel that trading is a place to make money, ignoring the risks and problems in it. Believe me, a lot of people here will follow this story and some will succeed, others will complain on many other topics, huge rewards have made many people think lack of insight, having a good direction of development is good but first, we should know how much our talents are in the game

I just started following you on Twitter and wanted to ask you how long did it take for you to learn to trade with confidence? I always wanted to learn to trade but felt I never had the knack for it. I do an incy bit of spot trading but nothing major league. I see that you have made a great success and it's encouraging for newbies who want to learn to trade. For a newbie like me where do you think I should start and what courses or youtube channels do you think I should focus on as a beginner. I know a little bit about indicators and learning to read candlesticks etc but am far off even dreaming of becoming a professional trader, but would want to start somewhere, putting in say an hour a day to learn. I just am too overwhelmed with everything that is available to know from where I should actually start from. Everyone also is on Bybit and Bitmex leverage trading so that also is more daunting.

This worked. BTC lost $500 in an hour after an accurate triangle formed.

🔻This resulted in the liquidation of long positions on  BitMEX for a total of $154.7 million.

🔻News from China. The mining industry might be banned in the country. Boom!

Hello mate! I'm already 12+ years in trading.. Did not notice when the confidence came, probably after 4 years. You will feel this. Try a lot, use demo. Use paper testing. Never forget to trade with the money affordable only. Then, after you start earning, pay lots of attention on risk and money management (this is what many newbies forget about. Best teacher is your own experience. I suggest choosing proven sources and studying regularly. Monitor your mistakes always!

"Behavior of Prices on Wall Street"

Youtube is good as well. But never rely absolutely on indicators only or 1 trading strategy presented in Youtube video.

Good luck!

It was a very brave decision to quit the full-time job. And I am glad that in the end it worked well for you. But you should not get carried away by the initial success. There will be ups and downs with crypto-trading. So be prepared to take hits, sometime in the future. Adhere to strict stop-loss targets and it will make sure that when your luck runs out, the losses are limited.

so true. lots of things you need to pay attention to. even though you get what you want when you get out of your job, but we know that not always you can get the results you get at the moment. in the world of trading, we cannot guess something accurately, even more so if it's about crypto. so, paying attention to the current chart will be an activity that you need to keep working on.

Mark, for example, has vast experience in trading, 12 years is a huge number, imagine how many situations and mistakes went through him.
Many do not reach their result in just a few steps. In trading, the strategy and its compliance is extremely important.
If you do everything according to your plan, sooner or later the theory of probability will shift to your side, and you will receive such a long-awaited income. The author of this thread is a living confirmation of this.
