I’m starting to think this whole “skillful trading” thing is a myth—charts, indicators, “alpha” whispers… it all feels like smoke and mirrors. One minute you’re convinced your TA is bulletproof, the next you’re underwater because some pump-and-dump bot jacked the price. Feels like half the volumes are bots and the other half are FOMO maniacs hitting “buy” on whatever ticker looks shiny.
So get this—I stumbled on a tool called randombag that literally picks you a random basket of tokens from a curated trend list and buys them for you with one click. No research, no DD, no strategy—just pure randomness. And some users swear it actually outperforms their painstaking analysis but who knows if it also smoke.
Makes me wonder: in a market this rigged and noisy, is randomness the ultimate hedge? Has anyone here ever tried a dartboard approach—just throwing capital at random coins—and come out ahead? Or are we all fools chasing unicorns while a monkey with a dart could do just as well? Keen to hear your war stories or data if you’ve tried pure chance over “skill.”
While i agree with you in that skilled trading is more like a myth, i have to point out that no TA is "bulletproof" because TA is about probability, and there's no 100% probability in trading. One could argue if there is even 51% accuracy in any TA.
Randomness can bring you money, but it's about insider info about team not rugging it or just pure luck. I have made money just by smelling that the team isn't running away immediately, and those tokens can rise, especially when they are microcaps. I would like to see that a skill, but if i am completely honest, it was luck.
If there's some some project doing everything for you, it sounds a lot a plan to trigger bots. Dev team is buying and you will be the pump and dump volume and number of active wallets that could trigger bots for exit liquidity.
