The Mental Edge Required in Trading

Don't overthink What makes some traders so successful? What separates the big earners from the big losers? What makes our emotions jump out at such critical moments? How do we stop our feelings from taking over and leading us to wrong choices? The answer? Discipline. You know exactly what feeling I'm talking about. That feeling that creeps behind when you risk your money on a trade. You thought of everything already, you chose your asset, setup and made up your mind on how to proceed. But you still get that feeling, maybe it's fear or just your mind conspiring against you, after all, in your right and calm mind you still know that the outcome of the trade is uncertain. It takes more than just analyzing charts and trying to predict two steps ahead of the market, it takes having control over your emotions, enthusiasm and fighting FOMO. Our lives and the outcomes of our actions are made up of 3 things. Thoughts Feelings Actions Imagine tho

BTC 5% price drop Jan 10th 2019

Market Drops Drastically In 2019 First

On Wednesday night, The Crypto Dog, a leading Bitcoin analyst, took to his Twitter page, which sports over 100,000 followers, to draw attention to the Ethereum/USD chart, noting that something might happen soon. The chart, which accentuated ETH’s wedge formation, indicated that a breakout (either up or down) was slated to happen.
Just hours after his tweet, Ether, along with BTC and the rest of the cryptocurrency market (save for Tron’s TRX), began to plummet, basically out of nowhere. Crypto Dog subsequently took to his Twitter, writing “it did” in an evident nod to his previous post.
At the time of writing, per data from Live Coin Watch, BTC is down 5.2%, with the asset currently finding a foothold at $3,850 a pop. This is the first time that Bitcoin has been under the $4,000 price level, widely regarded as a key psychological level, since January 6th.
It’s pretty much blood red across the board.
ETH has posted a jaw-dropping -9.66% performance, a tinge away from double-digit losses, as the preeminent cryptocurrency corrects following its monumental recovery after it hit $80. XRP actually outperformed Bitcoin, posting a relatively strong 4.1% loss, moving to $0.3548 a token. Most other leading cryptocurrencies, save for Binance Coin (-11%) posted percentage losses in the mid to high single-digit range.
This broader market downturn, which some have argued is a sudden meltdown, has brought the aggregate value of all cryptocurrencies down to $130.6 billion. And unfortunately, this move is backed by volume too, as exchanges saw an influx of trading pressure as Bitcoin briefly became a falling knife.
It remains to be seen if further plunges are expected, but taking volume into account, a move under $3,800 for BTC isn’t out of the realm of possibility.
