Things I've learned trading for the past 4 years in no particular order while reflecting this Sunday on it all:
* It always goes higher than you expect it will.
* It always comes back down.
* It is very easy to make money in these markets. It is much harder to keep it.
* You will FOMO no matter how much you say you won't. Make sure you don't FOMO with everything and blow your account.
* You don't need some fancy indicator to be profitable. Get solid with a few (personally for me, Ichimoku and OBV are my favorites)
* Horizontal levels are more reliable than diagonal.
* Trade with friends. They'll tell you when you've fucked up and shame you for it.
* You can follow someone else's TA, but you better be able to tell if they're full of shit or not.
* Risk Management will ultimately lead to your success over time. Luck runs out.
* "As soon as you stop trying to get rich quick, you'll get rich quick."
* Beware of getting sucked into coin communities. They're full of hopium, bag hodlers, and outrageous price predictions. Echo chambers are dangerous.
* Always leave behind a small moon bag. Makes you feel better when it does another 10x.
