1. Yes 2. Spreads will be wider than large caps. You can overcome that for sure. If you trade stocks with larger spreads and ultra high liquidity then you are going up against math PhDs from MIT. They will beat you. I am surprised at how much emphasis people put on the spreads without...

We're at 20,475 right now. You apparently shorted at 20K. When will you cover or stop out? Just curious.

No. Contango will be your enemy. It's the cost the market extracts for giving you the futures contract.

Every boom period was full of snake oil salesmen. Nothing new here. You certainly wouldn't judge today's complex Wall Street finance by the over speculation of the 1920s. People won't judge cryptos but Celsius and the dummy's that were lured into their scam.

That is one way to trade them but I disagree it is a requirement. You can hold these for 10 minutes to 3 hours and ride the wave. That is exactly what I do. You may be influenced by Ross Cameron since he does rapid trades, but he has people jumping into stocks right behind him. You can't...

The selling has been forced by deleveraging. The deleveraging appears to be mostly over. If your short bet is counting on more crazy levered trades to blow up you may be disappointed.

It's probably also good to point out that this takes dedication, work, practice, etc. That isn't obvious to everyone. If you haven't traded these before you will have to dedicate time and money to trading them for a while before it "clicks". Takes time.

Yes. I am consistently profitable trading these. The speculative energy in them comes in waves. Right now we are at a low point for all speculative assets but I still trade them and still make money, just not as much. The easy money is in these small morning runners, imo. If you geek out on...

Others FOMO into their dopamine hits. It's the only thing that let's me win.

Defi projects. Functions that Wall Street makes billions on every month can be performed at nearly zero cost with smart contracts. The centralized control and monopoly of Wall Street will be replaced with crypto. That doesn't mean your Bitcoin will be part of this future. But it is where...

Why are you calling it money?? Don't drink the cool-aid.

Bitcoin volatility is not out of line with its historic norm. The emotions that bitcoin brings out in people is interesting. Bitcoin simply is. Anyone making an emotional argument to explain why Bitcoin can't go higher or lower has no understanding of what happened over the last 10 years with...

Implied volatility often drifts away from volatility so I'd say the market agrees with you.

If you keep using your "out of sample" data over and over then it's not out of sample data. That's why this doesn't work.

How much money has your trading strategy earned? If you have a good strategy then trade your own account. Why would you give away a fortune for a paycheck?

That is incorrect. You have misunderstood. I'm very sorry.

99% of retail traders look at intraday charts and little else. Since that is influencing their trading it is a certainty that recent past prices influence the near future. Some do not believe this. They are wrong.

If you want insurance then the math says to forget that idea. You make money selling insurance, not buying it. If you want to eliminate exposure then sell some shares. It's the cheapest way to get the job done.

Sell it or simply go long a similar instrument in the correct amount.

Most common mistake: Being less than 100% objective. If you are trying to trade like a Jedi with your feelings and emotions it's not gonna work.
