I am not active trader as people who open and close positions daily, but I spot buy coins I think are good and hold indefinitely. When there is market bloodbath, I do perp trading, and long coins for indefinite time. I've also done bit in news based trading (following news on coinmarketcal [1]).
I've been fairly successful in above but I've often failed to realize profit, so this time I'm not gonna repeat same.
I see many threads about how hard trading is here, but i don't think it's so hard to that you want to make it look like. I wonder is anyone here actually trading or have tried to trading, or is it just to fill the sign-campaign requirement? I don't want to mention any names for many reasons I think everyone have good intentions but most of the posts and tips makes zero sense and when I read it I know that the person that posted that is not a good trader and probably never had trading at all himself/herself.
You are right, many people write stuff without having first-hand experience of what they write, it's good that you are able to discern between stuff that's genuine and otherwise, definitely helps a lot in life.
