Hell, I’ll give an example. Say alts start popping hard. Like REALLY hard. Several 30%+ days in a row. And everyone is calling it 2017.
Only it’s engineered liquidy. And everything is about to fully retrace. And you spot it coming because a leading alt fully retraces.

Market’s don’t react fast. So retail is buying the fuck out of these tops. And you start shorting alts on high leverage at the exact same time. All of them. And they almost all crash fucking hard. It looks obvious in retrospect.
It’s born of a thesis. You correctly assuming that the rug is going to get pulled because of an isolated incident. Then you short on high leverage with a tight stop across many alts. Some get stopped. Some don’t. Those that don’t dump 15-30%. And you nail it across many pairs.
What happens after is irrelevant. You’ve made a lot of money in a short amount of time. Now you trade it defensively until you spot another very asymmetrical opportunity.
“What happens if you’re wrong?”
Well then you get omega fucked, don’t you. You lose 20-30% maybe even more of your total bankroll.
“But that’s bad risk management”
Damn right it is. What of it?

What, you thought you’d get wealthy by risking 1% or whatever?
Lmao, fuck outta here.
Lmao, fuck outta here.
Paid group leader didn’t cover the chapter of being wrong and needing to rebuild by grinding over months.
That’s life.
That’s life.
It doesn’t matter if you grind it back by trading or bagging groceries. You need dry powser for the next opportunity. And you need the ability to identify the next opportunity, capitalize on it, and preserve your gains.
Once you’ve built up a bankroll, it’s easier.
But until then, it’s a fucking stressful struggle.
If you see young talented traders railing off depressed tweets, they’re going through it. So fuck off with your advice, they don’t need it. They’re just grinding until the next opp.

You only look cool once you nail it and you’re sitting comfortably with a large bankroll for a minute. Nevermind you were just as skilled all the months before. You’re viewed as a degenerate until you nail it. Then you’re viewed as a talented trader even though nothing changed.
