I love when my trading journal makes me money.

Or, in this case, saves me from losing it.

There’s tons of opportunities to trade out there, but not all opportunities are created equal… ⚖️

I used to focus on trading the coins that had tons of action with wild swings in price

New exchange listings, the hype coin of the week, those kinds of things.

The potential to win big, and quickly, is definitely there. 🎯

But I found I wasn’t hitting those wins often enough.

Instead, I was hitting my stop loss more than normal.

Looking back at my journal, it was because I would get impatient and buy quickly instead of waiting for a better entry.

Then I’d get shook out right before the price jumps up. 🍃

The evidence was clear.

From there it’s just a matter of tweaking strategy to optimize performance.
