Hello all,

need advise, if any exist Smiley
I am trading btc few years - but it seems I havent learnt anything. My plan was to use bitcoin volatility to earn some extra btc, but it seems I am not able to do this.
I am selling/buying always in wrong time. Using volume as only indicator, as others do not make sense for me.

For example I see a series of red candles with increased selling volume, price crossing support line (like today crossing 7040, 7000, 6900 USD) so I sold 0.8btc in expectation price fall to 6500 usd as few days ago.
But 1.5 hour later price changed and went up and my prediction was again wrong. And the same is during increase of price. If the price hits e.g. 10300 usd and starts falling I do not sell, because I am not sure when it will turn again. And then I usually miss fall in price from 10300 to 7300 which is finally 3000 usd, what you can earn on 1 sold btc at correct time.

Am I doing something completly wrong? Or it is not possible to predict the movement of btc?


thanks

Your very first problem is your mindset, the title of your thread seems to indicate that you believe that luck has anything to do with it and you could not be more wrong, this is about skill, and you need skill to read the markets correctly and make profits in them, so the very first thing that you need to do is to correct that kind of thinking and until you do I can assure you that you will never get profits.

I have a question for you, do you keep very detail records about what you were doing and what you thought when you made those trades? If you do, could you tell us what happens if you do the opposite of what your current system is telling you, do you earn any money if you do this? Because if you do then you already have a winning system you just have been using it backwards.
