my predictions have good odds to make actually some real money.
Can you elaborate? This can be a confusing statement when discussing cryptocurrencies. Do you consider fiat to be money?
If with your predictions you managed to get more XMR against a heavier declined fiat price, did you make money? Or if the fiat price of your XMR increased but decreased more against BTC, did you make money?
I should have had been more specific: money here is crypto (XMR or BTC). Not fiat in this case, I try to keep fiat and crypto separate.
I have increased my networth with swing trading XMR-BTC pair. Actually trading it has been the only way to make money with it. Investing has been pretty bad (unless you did not initially buy at 0.001-0.002 levels).
I have made some bad calls obviously but it is enough 51 % of calls are accurate and in case of inaccuracy you cut the loss as fast as possible and when the call is right, let the profit run long enough.
The money I have been making by trading has been used acquiring Monero. Now there is an opportunity to lend XMR to others so I do not need to take too much risk of the fluctuations but still I am able to make money so I do not have an urgency to play pump and dump game also from that matter. And when there will be more opportunities to lend XMR with collateral and high rates, I am willing to employ part of my coins into that purpose, I like to rake/squeeze as many XMR as possible and hold them tight. I do not have any need to spend those coins, currently I am making more than enough in fiat so I do not need to sell my cryptos but I can accumulate more (prefertably by lending/investing).
Would you teach your trading knowledge and skill ?
Well, in the first place. You do not want to trade with 97 % of coins (unless there is an option to short).
Then you seek the momentum when to enter the trade. Shorting is a tricky play with pump'n'dump since nobody can predict how far it goes exactly and the risk is you get margin called before it starts to drop.
However, when it starts to drop and it is a clear pump'n'dump scheme the gambling community are running, then you just start to selling when you see threads: "XYZ coin is a scam, beware".
The other common mistake is to fall in love with your position. If you have pre-determined to stick with certain position and the position is wrong, then you pretty much let the losses run.
I find it harder to teach trading (I made my living with day trading in 2009 in Oslo stock exchange, I made a decent money with it - better than in working but at some point the stock started to run too fast and I lost my interest and went back to real work).
