I've been working on astro & markets for 15 years.

Had a sub-service. Made it into small hedge fund. Accepted full time offer. Top 5 in world for a year.

I've made many, many calls on markets. Some spectacular. Sometimes wrong.

Here's what I think really matters...

1. Risk capital. Doesn't matter if right or wrong on markets if no $ to trade. Also helpful to have small portion of play $ where you feel OK taking those big leveraged bets (options, futures, leverage, whatever). OK to lose is key.

2. System of execution. Always wondering 'should I buy should I sell' is a ticket to insanity. You want some kind of "set-up" and if you have an astro edge then increase the sizing. If you don't know what a "set-up" is then learn technical analysis.

3. System of being in market or out of market. Being in the market in a bear environment is painful. Also painful to be out of the market in a bull environment. It is very easy to think of the next scary aspect just like many of us get caught in doom-scrolling via astro.

4. System of sizing. Elaborating on a few points here. Soros was notoriously famous for taking on massive bets when he really felt he was right. But what is comfortable for you? 10% of your play account? 5%? 20%? Many pro traders say risk 1-2% per trade max.

5. Start small to learn without losing a lot. Now many ways to do this - cryptos that trade in fractions, options on indexes where you can buy 1 contract at a time, and micro-futures. Micros are awesome! My life would have been much easier had they been around when starting.

6. Last point in this thread, being right on markets but no trade or small trade doesn't matter for much... maybe some intellectual satisfaction and wonder of astro but still. The real pros know how to bank when they are right and don't lose big when wrong. That's the game.
