well it must of be a great post cause you have a lot of upvotes.  being said.  point taken.

You know doc, I have traded most of my adult life (no all my adult life and some of my teenage!), and now I don't really think about how I trade, and why I enter a position, when, how I exit. It has sort of become muscle memory. I only think, when I see something interesting happening. A good trade, or a bad trade. I pay attention to the aesthetics of the move :) But, now that I read your trading posts, the passion you put in it, it is honestly very uplifting to me. First, I want to thank you for that. There are millions of trading related articles I have read over the last 28 years. I am not saying yours are towards the best in terms of new material (as there is rarely new material in trading), but yours is cetainly towards the top in terms of passion and grit! I can literally see you grinding your teeth! That means a lot to me!

Ok, that's the background. I will start the reply with a quote: from Paul Tudor Jones

_Every day I assume every position I have is wrong._
_There is no training, classroom or otherwise, that can prepare for trading the last third of a move, whether it’s the end of a bull market or the end of a bear market._
_You adapt, evolve, compete, or die._
_Trading is very competitive and you have to be able to handle getting your butt kicked._

If you read these words from one of the most successful hedge fund manager of the world, you will see the analogy with sports, soccer! In trading, first you lose, then you learn how not to lose, and then, and only then, can you get on the road to generating a consistent income.

Let me mention a simple account size management process, this is widely used by many traders all over the world. It is a tried and tested method.

I will use your Hive trading account size.

Start with 1000 hive (or any multiplier). Your initial goal is to run the account up to 2.5 times your starting capital, or 2500 hive. When you reach this goal, Withdraw your starting capital 1000 hive, plus a profit of 250 hive. So you have withdrawn 1250 hive. Leaving you with 1250 hive. This is now your capital (treat it as capital, nobody takes your money!) Now your goal is to run the account up to 2.5 times again, to 3125 hive. Once you get there, do the same process again. Take half out. Reset. Repeat.

The time it takes to do this isn’t critical. You aren’t focused on achieving your target in a week or a month or a quarter. You’re simply following your plan and taking your setups. What this does is something two fold, first, you stop counting money!, second, you can never go belly up, as after the first rinse and repeat (and you are expert at this for your studies), you don't have any systemic risk.

Good luck, Doc.

Some people only learn through their own experiences. But at least they learn.

A weird question: Cab you name dada? the person/big brother you are referring to.
I also did some scalping but with other tokens as I don't hold hive on exchanges. With one of my trade the ame thing happened and I ended up buying hive and putting in utopis lol... no I don't have any Uniswap :D

True story!

>And that ladies and gentlemen, is the Art of Losing Money!

Your art made me silent!  Whatever the other coins are doing, we can make things work out from our own HIVE, You are the example of that. 

Precious one brother! 

Man... I did not understand a single word of that. This is why I never buy or sell Hive to make a profit....

I keep most of mine powered up.  Saving it for when it really good up there.   I haven't really learned to trade yet, so just leaving it.  Lol

I know the feels...

don't trade to aggressively. The next stop for Hive should be at 70-80 cents.

I sold a good sizable chunk when it pumped from 11-18. Then bought back at 16- sold at 36 when it rose to 38. Then bought back at 30 and sold at 38 on the second rally! And bought back at 28-29:) im not going to showboat my profits, as like a moron i used much of it to fund my idiotic shits!:3 now i have an amount where 1 cent move at either direction makes my pnl move 25$s:3 all in one and a half months patience!😅 so yeah.. As youve guessed, im an avid follower of yours:3
