Us hardcore Bitcoin maxis aren't in Bitcoin for the trade or price appreciation. The fact that Bitcoin is a bearer asset cannot be overstated. I'm sure that at one point, an exchange will collapse and whatever profit you are owed will not be paid. If the idea is to hold Bitcoin long term vs...

Yup, saw that, and I also saw some good analysis already by Francis Poulet (spelled name wrong). So it does look legit, but who knows how it happened. I'm seriously considering going the multisig route, even for my small stash. I even think I saw that they wanted to update Bitcoin Core in...

It makes total sense, but I just don't know why the differentiation. All you're really saying is that once the trade is working, you can move your stop up. So the initial risk never hit, and when price puts in a higher low, you can move your stop up to this new higher low, which you now call...

Oh, this isn't how I understood it. I thought his password manager was only protected by an 11 character word, and once opened, this revealed the seed phrase. But since seed phrases didn't exist in 2012, the only thing he could have stored would be the private key, like what I guess you use...

As others have pointed out, seed phrases didn't exit in 2012. He also seems to understand that the password manager only had 30 bits of entropy. But how would anyone know to try and hack a random password manager in the hopes that there was a seed phrase in there??? I'm not saying he is...

I think Volpri also talks about this, and I never understand why the need to differentiate between initial and actual risk. When you first enter the trade, you obviously have some idea of where you will get out if completely wrong. The fact that it maybe never gets there, or hardly even goes...

Thank-you for the replies. If you don't mind, please update us next week. I think it would go a long way towards shutting up most of us critics if you took us through a few days. Is the stop loss simply based on price breaking the low of this bar? I know that some traders use the low of a...

So after getting a chance to sit down and read the thread over, I have to give you credit where its due. In this post, before the open, you mentioned the trade, and in a later post, said it was at 4374. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/al-brooks-net-worth.376923/page-27#post-5888529 I...

The problem with this is that the time stamp is 12:34 ET. At this time, ES had already broken 4400, so it was nowhere close to 4386.75 I have to run now, but will follow up later.

Just from browsing this thread, I didn't get the impression that your posts were made after an entry, but I will look more closely tonight. In the time that it took you to prepare the picture though, complete with annotations, you could have simply said "Entering long here at 4375". If we...

@Rams Fan Since it looks like you're trading a 4 hour chart, it should be super easy to post close enough to real time your entries and exits. Why don't you just spend one week posting this and it would be fairly easy to demonstrate in real time what you are trying to demonstrate on hindsight...

My guess was that he was just gonna keep shorting if it kept going higher. Kind of like how a shotgun has no precision, but lots of pellets eventually kill what you're aiming at. And yes, a good call indeed. (but I would have loved to see him say what he was doing with the last set of...

If we were looking at the US, where they have 30 year mortgages, then perhaps the market can just grind to a halt but not collapse. But in Canada, where most mortgages still haven't needed to seek refinancing, the average 5 year mortgage has the clock ticking. Every single month month more and...

At this point, its essentially TSLA against Bitcoin since MSTR is all Bitcoin. The question is, do you consider it easier for TSLA to 10x or Bitcoin to 10x? I don't see how Tesla can grow much bigger than this since its already highly overvalued. If FSD is ever a thing, and nobody has to...

I'm confused. @schizo was analyzing the posts made by @MarkBrown when he showed his apparent entries, but the poll was for trades from another source. I sure would love to see Mark Brown go into a bit more detail though.

I'm sure though that if you tinker with either one of these variables, the whole strategy falls apart. I know that if I don't take a 10pt profit in the MNQ, easily 30-40% of the time, it comes back to my entry. So either I stop out at BE, and then it goes up again, so I miss the profit, or I...

I think you and I have also influenced lots of traders on here with out posts... should we write a book?? LOL I would tell @speedo to fuck the "influence" stage and go right to the "show me how you trade" stage. I seriously would love to kidnap one of these motherfuckers who wants to teach...

Enjoyed reading this thread so far go round and round. Everyone is guessing how big someone else's dick is and nobody is willing to show a picture (ie. PnL) For some reason, when it comes to trading, people accept taking advice from someone with no proof of trading, but if a lonely creep...

Makes sense, but I almost wonder if this is legal. Absolutely, there is the most juice there, but when I look at all the stuff that is below the 1B mark, its stuff like AXS or MANA or SAND or FTM that I remember from 2021, and I honestly just don't see them pumping again. I almost think its...

Did you see the post about Arthur Hayes going into SOL? His timing honestly wasn't so good if I consider his entry at the time of the post. I have also been seeing lots of SOL sent to exchanges from FTX, so I think there is heavy liquidation pressure. I have nibbled a little bit, but only to...
