Many persons have shared their bad experiences about trading in general, how they lost their funds, got into debt, even wrecked their finances. That's true trading bears such risk but that should not stop you from trying. In as much as there are successful traders you too can be successful in trading. It all starts with your passion, it has been made known by Napoleon Hill a popular writer, famous for the book think and grow rich, that desire is the starting point of all success.
I'm really not a fan of bear market trading, always with low volume with low volatility and when volatility comes back, the price usually shoot downward which hurt a lot if you open a long position. You can use the downward price to make money with futures with short positions but I'm not the type that love gambling with bets, I have use futures only few times and the experience was really bad, maybe because I'm not use to it but I don't want to try it again even in the future.
I see like normal gambling I do on gambling platforms and I don't want to be doing regular gambling and be gambling with trades again in the name of quick profits.
Knowing how to trade would only get you that far, but not j to the realm of successful traders. It takes a whole lot of desire to win, persistence and consistency to be a successful trader. So I assure that anyone who wants to be a successful trader can be by pursuing with passion.
Also Statistics shows that we have more Bitcoin traders than investors. And this is because most persons prefer to take the short term benefit of trading the volatility of bitcoin. Don't limit yourself to just being passionate about bitcoin. Start something with the knowledge. At least if your not into bitcoin as a means of payment, store of value, investment then being a trader could help.
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you all.
My strategy may look like a person that is afraid of the market but if I ever experienced another bear market, I will skip trading for the entire month and focus on buying the dip, it's saves a lot of energy, a lot of emotional attack with the market that you have to use stop loss multiple times and those choppy losses can give you something if put in good use. If you are a trader or a aspire trader, avoid the market in bear market and comes back when the market is bullish. Is a simple as that but many people wouldn't listen.
