Cryptocurrency trading is, without a doubt, one of the greatest challenges I have faced in my life. It is a difficult path, full of obstacles, but it is also the one that taught me the most about myself. Today I can say that I master it, although it would be a lie to claim I do it 100%. Why? Because in this world, you never stop learning. No course, no strategy, or preparation can fully prepare you for the market.
I started in 2020, working five hours a day at a company while exploring P2P on Binance. After a few months, I realized that that modality was no longer so profitable, but in that process, I met someone who changed my life: my mentor, partner, and one of my great friends, Gastón Díaz. It all started from a failed transaction; ironically, that mistake was the beginning of something great.
I want to be honest: trading is not an easy or quick path. It is not a magic formula to make you rich overnight. It is likely that at first, you will lose money, even a lot of money. But trading, like life, is not about how many times you fall, but about how you get up.
On this journey, I went through victories and failures. One of the hardest lessons was in 2023 when I turned $500 into $3,000 with futures, only to lose it all in a negative streak. At that moment, I thought about quitting, but I understood that if I left everything behind because of a stumble, I would be giving up all the effort I had invested.
A key thing I learned is that you have to understand the moments of trading and how your own mind works. Sometimes, in a whole month, we only take 10 trades due to our risk management, respecting our trading plan 100%. And there are weeks, like the previous one, where the price volatility is so extreme that we decide not to trade. This is not a sign of weakness, but rather of strength. Recognizing that the market cannot be dominated, but it can dominate you if you are not careful, is a vital lesson.
I realized that trading, like life itself, has its ups and downs. Falls are not an end, but an opportunity to learn. Just as Bitcoin falls to then rise stronger, we must also use our falls as a trampoline, question ourselves, and learn from our mistakes.
It took me two and a half years to become a profitable trader. It was not a matter of luck, but of effort and consistency. Trading does not pay by chance; it pays by merit. That merit does not come only from understanding the market but from understanding yourself. Trading under pressure, desperately looking to make money, is the fastest way to loss. I learned to enjoy the process, to love what I do, but each person is different, so being profitable depends on forming your strategies according to your personality.
Today, I spend hours analyzing charts, reading news, and researching fundamentals, even if many times the trade does not get executed. Because trading is not about the money, but about the passion for doing it well.
This channel was created with a clear goal: so that you don't stumble over the same stones I did. I won't give you exact entries, because that won't help you grow. My intention is to give you tools, reference points, so you can develop your own analyses and build your path. Because if you depend on others, you will never be independent; what is bread for today is hunger for tomorrow.
It is important to learn to know yourself. If we don't make mistakes, we will never understand how we really are. I don't know anyone who has learned by winning; the most valuable lessons come when we lose.
The most important thing I learned is that it's not what you do, but how you do it. I used to trade without stop loss, without take profit, without discipline. Today I follow every step of my trading plan to the letter, because the day you don't respect it, the market will make you pay for it, and thanks to that, today I live from trading.
Trading is like life: we will not always be on top. And when we fall, the important thing will be to have the humility to review what we did wrong and the strength to get back up. Falls are not defeats, they are a sign that there is still something to learn. Just as Bitcoin always recovers, we can too, but with more wisdom and determination.
Thanks to everyone who follows this channel and supports our analyses. Remember: in trading, as in life, it doesn't matter how many times you fall. What matters is getting up stronger each time.
A big greeting! Criptonómade, my name is Jeremías Manes.
