How was your experience when u first started trading?

Got in, watched a 20 mins vid on YouTube. Nigerian banks and crypto were still friends, so I moved small Naira from bank to exchange. Few minutes later, it turned to lots of money. I was excited. I withdrew 37k (price of a huge goat at the time).

I bought one 🐐, slaughtered and enjoyed as the market pumped. Emotions so high, joy upon joy, but months later, the frustration sets in. Dump dump dump and my money vanished.

Why? Greed and lack of knowledge about the 4 year cycle, bearish divergence, and most importantly, lack of knowledge about volume and other things in-between.

I consumed thousands of YouTube videos (even ones ed 12 years ago from early adopters, read hundreds of post, etc. It was just too overwhelming. Lots of shillers and deceivers like Bitboy crypto, etc. that always promote sh!t coins they've been paid to .

I got better after navigating lots of dirt, then decided to try future, but wanted to fail first to see how it feels to be liquidated. I did and blew the . Then learned why and improved from there.

The goat I ate made me realize there is actually real money in this industry (at least I have tasted it with my mouth), but there is something missing. I was already addicted, so I couldn't leave even when I lose.

Years later, I found out the missing puzzle was just patience and solid strategy — which patience is the most difficult since it's a two-sided thing and full of emotions.

Sometimes, you'll regret being patient and call it greed, other times, you'll regret being impatient because it pumped after you've sold.

Now, finding a balance is key. What can you lose and what can you not lose?

Later on, I became a diligent specialist in BTC after encountering people like Benjamin Cowen and Steve of Crypto Crew University. They're focused on the full package, not quick cash.

I won't lie, I have watched almost all crypto-related videos on YouTube, but now, I have a mind of my own from experience and if I write a story book on crypto, it'll be the funniest with lots of wisdom and lessons, especially on patience and not listening to 99% of crypto YouTubers' words and avoiding too much noise.

The answer is on the chart while the news is the manipulation, which also ends up showing on the chart, hence, focus on the chart, the cycle you're in, your strategy and less on news/noise unless it's Fed and macroeconomics-related.

The market rewards a diligent specialist.

The end.

It's never rosy for a solo-newbie. Even if it is, it's always short-lived. Those who feel the pains learn the fastest as long as they're dedicated.

Is it not BTC bump that will trigger the Alt season, we are expecting more up movement from BTC prior to at the season?

In a nutshell, you learned how to fight like the Dothraki screamers, the Volantis Unsullied, the Seconds Sons bastards. You won't understand the above sentence if you didn't see the series Game of Thrones.

I started with price action, the most overhyped concept in trading IMHO. Price action behavior is why most people lose, because the chart alone is meant to confuse you, so to have success alone with price action is going to be a very herculean task.

Then I moved to trading like the bank, lol. Whoever brought that idea must be one delusional individual. How do you expect a retail trader with almost zero knowledge about the financial market trade like Ivy League grads and beat them at it consistently?
Hogwash if you asked me.

I moved to those that see trading as manipulation, I must be honest, this is where my consistency started coming from. I started seeing trading differently, that's because the person I learned this from had an almost 99% win rate. So I would be stupid not to believe whatever he was talking about.
The problem for me was that he uses too many indicators that made me lose interest in his method, as I'm anti indicator trader.
I started trading with naked chart and I never planned on going that indicator route as that might even take few more years to master which I didn't have.

While going through all these phases, I was making money obviously, but it wasn't as consistent as it should, until I came across using volume. It was the light bulb for me. I stopped calling chart Price Action, and instead Price Reaction to volume.

I saw reversals way before they happen, when the average price action traders are waiting for confirmation candle before entering, I was already in at a better price. I short on long bullish candles and long on bearish candles. No need waiting for confirmation in price action, I already made the decision by watching the volume delta with a very huge accuracy.

All in all, we thank God we finally found the path, it wasn't by one's doing. Even though I'm not that religious, I know I'm just lucky I finally found my way around it. Trading is extremely hard, and I hope and pray everyone still out there struggling gets his/her eyes opened soon enough too. Amen.

In the spirit of enlightenment. Check these two charts up, I'm sorry it's not a crypto pair, just trying to use it as an illustration.
The first chart is the naked chart which is meant to convince the average PA traders into believing price could continue moving up. They'd say the trend is up, price has retraced and it's now heading up for continuation. Etc.

Bring out your Fibz and put it, you'd see it reacting to one of the levels, then you might be inclined to enter long with the hope of a continuation.

Now Check chart 2 with the volume indicator: If you are interested in buying and you saw this dying buying volume. Would you still be interested in buying even if your Fibonacci, Moving Averages, Stochastics are telling you to buy?

Just think about it again, stay blessed and have a wonderful weekend.

Would you be kind enough to recommend channels/videos that teach this “Volume strategy” please?

Also, is that your most used strategy at the moment, and is it applicable to alts other than BTC/ETH alone?

I'd really love it if you could help out, thanks in anticipation

It's not my most used, but the only thing I use to determine if I'm longing a falling market or shorting a rising market. Nothing more, nothing less. It takes practice to reach this level but if you watch chart long enough accompanied by volume, you will start finding a way to work out a trading system for yourself.

Most alts have very low trading volume, so it's very easy for one fat finger to alter the flow. This causes inconsistency in the results. Reason why it's recommended to trade only those pairs with huge total trading volume like Bitcoin, Eth, Solana, Xrp too.

You don't need many pairs, I only trade gold and indices, few times Bitcoin. The lower timeframe would give you few trading opportunities daily and that should be enough. So Bitcoin and Eth should cut it for you.

About where to read, I've shared pdfs here before and a thread to read about it from in my previous posts this year. You can go through my previous post in search of them. It takes time, but it will be worth it.

See the GbpNzd chart, it's dropping already.

Not really into movies, video games, etc. Even football, I wasn't into it until Mikel ed Chelsea and I was forced to love the game, but I'm out of love now.

That by the way. Your story sums it up. It's good to taste all (I did too) and finally choose your medicine.

For me, volume was the answer and every other is bonus.

If BTC is king, volume is the kingdom.

My 5 go-to volumes are

1. Volume Spread
2. Volume Spike
3. Volume Profile
4. Volume Delta
5. VWAP and normal volume (bonus)

With these 5 things, even the Devil can't stop you. 1 or 2 of them is even more than enough. You'll be ahead of almost everyone. If you add patience to it and multiple s as backups, then you've won the battle.

For your boss, I understand him. Before he started using the indicators, he had already mastered trend, names of all kinds of candles, their purpose, and every other TA-related and how to use them. He knows the foundation, but chose to switch.

The indicator is more of a timesaver and for multiple confirmations. I also understand that olden days pros hate indicators because it makes them look amateurish as if without these indicators they can't do anything. It's just like how graphic designer are not happy everyone can now use AI to do magic.

I was almost like that, then realized whatever will save me time is allowed as long as it doesn't distract me. I no longer want to be seen as a pro, I just want my money to keep re-pro-ducing.

Anyway, great experience you had there.

My main strategy is volume, multiple s and waiting for the big boys to dump or pump the market 10% in a day, then I'll swing in like a red vulture to see what I can steal with the help of trend, the cycle we're in and volume.

If I trade currency pairs, this is where I would enter some positions, and keep some for when the top is broken to enter the rest in anticipation of the imminent fall in price.

I watched Jay's playlist of 9 videos yesterday. Nothing new, but if you're new to volume, it's okay. He's just an overexcited black American who probably stumbled on volume and trying his best to teach it.

Watch the playlist and get an idea of what he's saying. He's all over the place and kinda annoying to listen to, but you'll get the idea of what he's trying to say.
