$LINK $PEOPLE $MANA
Back in 2011, I decided it was time for a change and to stop working for other organizations. I was tired of doing pointless tasks with no personal growth, and most importantly, my salary wasn't increasing while inflation was visibly reducing my purchasing power. After much deliberation about what to choose and what I could start doing immediately, I was led to trading. I began with the basics, dedicating THREE WHOLE DAYS to studying various aspects, deposited my first $100, and promptly lost it all in just a few trades, even on the spot market (futures and margin trading didn't exist in cryptocurrency at that time). Realizing that my knowledge was insufficient (though I initially blamed market manipulations), I dove deeper into studying, reading dozens of books and articles, and watching countless free courses. It dawned on me that trading is very complex, akin to trying to repair an electric car without knowledge and specialized tools.
I concluded that I couldn't handle it alone. Initially, I enlisted my wife (then my girlfriend), friends, and acquaintances to help track parameters. Essentially, I burdened everyone I could. But even that wasn't enough because there were many parameters to monitor, and the people helping me needed to see what I saw (which is physically impossible for even two people, let alone ten). Moreover, over a hundred parameters needed tracking, and I could only engage a maximum of ten people for an hour a day, at best. Thus, I realized this approach was inefficient. Giving up wasn't an option because I enjoyed it. Despite the challenges, I made some progress working with a group, leading me to consider automating the process. However, programming didn't initially occur to me.
Eventually, I realized only programming could save me. It took over five years to develop the concept, choose a platform, and work out the details while continuously learning, gaining knowledge, interacting with professionals, and gradually becoming a professional myself. Finally, I found a team of programmers, selected 50 parameters to be integrated into an indicator for comprehensive analysis, and we began the work. After much time and effort, the team and I finally launched it with a triumphant "EUREKA!" But our excitement was premature. The team thought it was just about coding everything, but it required a meticulous and accurate mix of parameters. We took a three-day break to rest and brainstorm a simple visualization. I wanted something that would be intuitive for anyone looking at the indicator, clearly showing when to enter a trade, where to take profit, and where to set a stop. Interestingly, the concept was suggested by the five-year-old son of my friend, who used arrows and lines to redraw the chart open on my computer. Now, the design of my indicator comes from a great five-year-old designer (who might soon come for his royalties when he grows up).
Returning from our break, we resumed work with renewed vigor. After extensive mixing, testing, and perfecting, we finally launched a ready-to-use product with a high success rate. It encapsulates the ten years of experience I gained during its development. Today, my team and I continue to improve the product while working on our next project, which we will unveil as soon as it reaches the beta testing stage.
Wishing everyone a great day and profitable trading!
