99% of retail traders lose money. What is your edge as a trader?

>> No.17580642

I literally have a bot that trades the crosses on the 12 hr STOCH on bitcoin blindly on Cross.

It's actually a cheatcode for bitmex lol

Easy: I am not a trader. I am a HODLer who sells when shit is going parabolic and buys when /biz tells me to.

Beats 99% of traders

i can short bitcoin for months in a bull market

The 1% doesn't have an edge either; they just got lucky during a finite sample and would lose money over infinite trades. A small percentage of people playing roulette or any other -EV casino game will also be profitable over a finite sample.

i disagree bitcoin is a device that transfers wealth from the impatient to the patient up or down this is true.

>> No.17581029

"99% of traders lose money" is nonsense created by bitter coping losers. Around 25% of traders are profitable.

This “statistic” was actually 90% and it was actually “day trading” as defined as opening and closing a trade the same day. So it doesn’t even include swing trading which is more profitable.

Don't tell anyone anon, but my secret to success is to buy low, & get this, sell high. I know it's sounds crazy but if you do that enough times you'll be able to retire.
