Crypto Trading – Still Hanging On

Technically Passionate
Trading has always been a passion, ever since I closed my first profitable trade almost twenty years ago. For me, it’s about pulling off a good move. It’s more about the percentage move than the dollar value. After all, if you can do it with a little, you can do it with a lot. Trading is relative, which is why I always promote learning with a small account.
Over the years, I developed a trading strategy that works incredibly well regardless of the market. Unlike many traders, I am rather comfortable shorting. In fact, my shorts are often a lot more impressive than my longs. I guess one can thank the market for that. Depending on the risk profile, I can generate 5% to 30% per month.
I raise my risk profile when I am trading with smaller amounts. Trading is all about consistency. Without it, you get nowhere. It’s pointless to have profitable trades that are matched by unprofitable trades. Developing a strategy is all about establishing consistency.
Come On!
I have been trading Litecoin for the past few months, as the volatility is good but still relatively stable compared to other altcoins. I am currently in a position and waiting for a 6% move to close my position. It has come close several times. However, the altcoin market has been rather boring for the past week or so.
I am currently moving profits into a particular altcoin. I intend to sell my position once it reaches the levels I anticipate and rotate that capital back into my trading account. The idea is to create a substantial income stream. Once again, trading is relative. The more you trade, the more you make. It’s simple.
I only need a little spurt to close this position. In fact, I will be happy if the market dumps after a relief rally. Trading enables traders to earn money by simply applying intelligence. It’s the ultimate monetization of knowledge and intelligence, and that’s why I love it so much.
Final Thoughts
Every effective trading strategy has a countermove for when the market turns against you. However, with every countermove comes risk. Hopefully, I can exit this position without increasing my risk profile. Here’s hoping we experience some volatility this week. All the best, see you next time!

I think trading is one of those ultimate skills that can be utilise almost anywhere, anytime. It's versatile and flexible. I've been drawn to it on and off but haven't had the opportunity to focus sufficiently and consistently on it, fingers crossed I will be able to do that this year with some free time in the coming months.
