This. Many of us anons lose money on daytrading. Bots did it better on the daily.

>>21481252
You can do this but you have to discipline yourself to only take small profit each trade on 5% range

What might be suitable for you is swinging (weekly/monthly). If you want to go this route, check out aftervalue.herokuapp.com . It was made by an anon to scan binance which project might have met the bottom or the top so you can trade accordingly. All the best.

I know someone who resets his trading stack to something like $100-200 every other day, withdrawing everything in excess.

Then does trades like $1-5 with x50 leverage over the day. High leverage, but not easily liquidated. Usually he can double his money within a day or two, then he resets his stack and starts again.

I tried it though and it's too hard for me.

Day traders kill themselves cuz its stressful af and they lose money on average

Long term investors have little stress and make the most money on average

There ya go

Have fun trading lmao

The idea isn't to make a living day trading, its to make money, enough of it to invest and give yourself a comfortable allowance from all those investments.

You don't make 100k to spend it all at ounce, you let that 100k accumulate small percentages and you live off of those small percentages you gain and reinvesting whatever you didn't use. A comfortable living is at least if you're making 5k off of investments per month which is stupid easy.

This.

I talked to a Redditor who said he buys options that are going red 2 minutes before market closes and has made over +600%+ in the last 3 months. Apparently the markets are super preditable right now.

You wouldn't even have to do that long if you had a sizable capital thanks to exponential gains.

For example;

Start with 10,000$.

- After 3 months: 60,000$
- After 6 months: 360,000$
- After 9 months: 2,160,000$
- After 12 months 12,960,000$

Etc

Just one year and 6 months of trading even if you start with 100$ and you're good to go.

Tbf you have to survive to have had the experience.
People do it. The key is to play the number and remove emotion and run on pure logic. You dont have to be highly intelligent either, even doing simple TA can work if you tackle emotions completely and follow strict rules

>Go long - it dumps and bounces below entry/profitability
>Go short - it pumps

No, most people lose. I'm actually pretty decent (most days finish positive) & I still realised it's not worth the effort for me. And given how unpredictable cryptos are & how much you make from big explosive moves you almost always wind up being better off just buying & holding.

One pro tip that really helped me was to hide the profit loss window so you don't even think about the numbers, just focus on the chart
