We will look back years from now and say, "remember that MatTheCat guy that tried to short the BTC halving based on a 4hr chart? I wonder what happened to him?"

6 fucking BTC trade with Stop Order

Was indeed a time when Finex FU stopped me out of a short at $407.24. I know this exact figure, as my Stop Order did turn out to be the very top of the market, so all I have do to, without even checking the thread or any charts that I posted, is look at the candle high on Finex for Jan 20th, and the candle high for that date, was indeed, $407.24. What Roach fails to state, is that Bitcoin then went on to tank, bottoming out at $360. Which I can tell you, was an utterly fucking galling experience since I was proven 'right' but lost money, yet again.

I don't think I am a crack trader, but I have learned how to properly read charts and was turning over a decent success rate, and so I started this thread, and also my growing confidence resulted in me increasing bet sizes...and since then.......2 fucking duds. To be fair, the latest short trade is still in play (not the Finex trade, which FU'd over the stop point, but the one I actually took on OKCoin3MonFuts), but to be honest, at this point in time, I don't have much faith in it. In between these two dud trades which I publicly posted, I took this one:

The irony of the fact that the minute I decide to post a couple of trades for all to see, that they failed spectacularly (well one has, the other looks likely to), is not lost on me. Neither is the fact that I am putting mental capital into debating with tossers like you, who due to your permabull outlook, have the privilege off always being 'right' when Bitcoin rises (and always being wrong when it goes down). Me on the otherhand, by posting short trades with tight Stop Losses, I have to hit the nail on the fucking head, otherwise I am stopped out, and then invariably get the dubious honour of being proven 'generally right', but still losing money.

But yep. I am deploying Range Trading tools looking for reversals when in all likelihood, Bitcoin has switched from a ranging market state and has commenced on a bullish trend and thing to be doing here, is to be looking for bullish structure on pullbacks in order to get into long positions, and not go hunting for countertrend short trades that are always liable to be stopped out as Bitcoin pushes ever increasingly higher, against the grain of all technicals and reversal indicators.
