#BeginnerTrader , please 🙏. It is really painful to read how you are losing your money by listening to other people. In most cases those people are not even a scammers, often they are misguided as well.
Do not even take financial advice from me. After reading any of my articles, go and research topic further and make your own conclusions.
Imagine, what would happen if there is no next altseason, if $ETH and $SOL don’t create new ATH, if meme coins don’t pump. There will be no market, retail will not bring their money to play this game. Eventually, there will be only holders who almost never sell 😂
What do you think? How those whales and institutions and market makers and whole industry will get their 🛥️ and lambos if we stop bringing them money.
They need to give us hope, advertise, market prices up and dump them down, so we stay on the hook.
So, there of course will be alt season, it is just will not let us win but it won’t let us completely lose, so we hope next time we get it right 😂
This is one the most important thing you need to know about #TradingPsychology
#StopLossStrategies Binance delisting of utility coins / tokens damaged me more than me trading in futures.
And in futures trader mostly damage themselves because of wrong risk management strategies. But in case of delisting, spot holders are unprotected and are damaged directly by the exchange.
#DiversifyYourAssets Experienced investors know that over-diversification can be just as detrimental as over-concentration. Why? Because effective diversification hinges on understanding correlation. Simply adding more assets that move similarly doesn’t reduce risk—it amplifies it. The key to smart diversification lies in thinking across asset classes, not just increasing the number of assets in your portfolio. Another important—though debatable—aspect of diversification is regular rebalancing.
#CryptoTariffDrop There will be no bear market and recession yet. Trump has no choice but bail economy out and keep it raising for at least 1.5-2 years more. Even April has good chances to be green and we are looking for new ATHs anytime after June. Keep calm and buy spot.
#TrumpTariffs purpose is obviously an instrument to: - fix balance of trade - punish BRICS countries, partners and countries seeking for partnership with BRICS - show off economic leverage on friends and foes
USD has been strengthening since covid, and this was not ideal for balance of trade. Now it is returning back to pre-covid level.
After yesterday, finally macro-players and large money managers have a bit more certainty, can update their models and figure out how to bring things back on track.
So tariffs announcement is sort of resolution and transition from more uncertainty to less uncertainty.
Long term markets will be ok. Short/mid term we may expect more correction, or likely just establishing new range and trading in that range until next trigger occurs.
I’m not fan of memes. I mostly invest in top-10 and other DeFi coins.
But it is nothing wrong in betting a small fraction of the capital into the memes, just in case.
So for the portfolio “tail” I’d choose primarily $DOGE , a bit of $FLOKI . May be also PEPE and NEIRO, but I don’t want to have too much exposure into memes.
❓Many traders on Square ask: How do I recover from a bad trade?
➡️ Spot Trading: Sometimes, Patience Works
If you’re holding a coin on spot, recovery is often possible—given time. Not always, though. Some coins are just bad investments, and selling at a loss is the only realistic option.
➡️ Look at This Trade
I bought $FUN high. Stupid thing to do. It dropped, then dropped again. 50% down—shouldn’t we cut our losses? Maybe. Not necessarily, especially in crypto. If I were smart enough, I’d have cut losses at -10% and bought back lower. But I’m not that fast or clever. So I waited. The result? The coin rallied 275% from the bottom. I recovered my loss and walked away with ~27% profit. Not a lot for such a big move, but remember—I was recovering a loss. Catching 30% of a move is good enough for a pro trader. For an amateur? Catching 25% is an achievement.
➡️ Futures? A Different Story
This doesn’t apply to leveraged trades. Liquidation, amplified losses, and funding fees often make “waiting for recovery” a bad idea. In my view, perpetual futures are for quick trades—if a position isn’t working within 30-40 minutes, it should be closed. But honestly, avoiding futures altogether might be the best move.
Deep down, I have to admit, I’d like $ETH to hit my 1750 bid, and few other coins hit my bids below previous significant lows. But, on the other hand I wouldn’t mind if market grow from this point on 😁
In December 2014, after President Obama announced the normalization of U.S.-Cuba relations, traders rushed to buy shares of Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund (CUBA), sending the stock soaring over 70% in a single day. The irony? The fund had no direct investments in Cuba—it held stocks of Caribbean-related companies, most of which had little to do with the Cuban economy. But in the frenzy, logic took a backseat, and "CUBA" in the ticker symbol was enough to fuel a speculative rally.
This wasn’t the only time traders got carried away. When Fidel Castro died in 2016, CUBA saw another spike, and every political shift—whether under Trump or Biden—kept triggering similar knee-jerk reactions. It’s a textbook case of how markets sometimes move on names, headlines, and misplaced excitement, rather than fundamentals.
