Snooze ya lose /

[Count @TheCountXBT]

Challenging myself to learn something new (ish) and run 40 sol up to 1000 in the trenches.

As of now, I have no material edge or insights, so we'll be learning along the way, and I'll share the wins and losses in the hope we can learn something together.

Drop a follow if you want to keep up with my journey 🫡

Unforeseen stuff came up with ma familia and went MIA.

Really need to get into the routine with posting 😁

Excellent read @Linkkzyy 👏

If you're in the trenches and can't be bothered to put aside 10 minutes to read this, you're ngmi.

Taken a few days off, back the trenching challenge on Monday!

Hope you have a good weekend, all 🫡

Day 6 coming to a close.

Positive SOL balance for the calendar week, that's the plus.

Key takeaways:

- Weekend felt dry and is where the entirety of my losses came. Was up bigly on the weekdays.
- Size matters, especially on new pairs.
- Buying the dip is for coping unless you have SUPER high conviction.
- Spotting the big runners / narratives is pretty simple, navigating the PvPs on new pairs can be a clusterfuck.
- Patience trumps all - can literally countless spend hours not taking a position, but playing in between has largely proven to be gambling (for me at this stage, at least)

0.54 BNB, 0.5 SOL. +4.5 SOL for the day.

Let's see what Monday brings 🫡

Trenching new pairs is an excellent way to light money on fire 🔥

@clukz At this point you've got to believe it is by design 🤦‍♂️.

Rotating from the $gaytollah to $fabtollah because @AutismCapital tweets it was not the play.

Still one of my fave pages though, through wealth and poverty.

$Gayatollah wasn't on my bingo card to start the week.

Saw the $TFW Leo meme <$30K, faded as thought it was larp.

Figured out it wasn't larp by 200K, still faded as trench volume has been pretty soft this weekend.

Note to self - buy small if it might not be larp, add on confirmation 🤦

Day 6 - started trenching on BSC as well.

Quick scalp on $binancemaxxing for 0.54 BNB (4.1 SOL) to get the day moving in the first hour.

Also how did NVIDIA tweeting $CLAWS not run?!

Day 5 spent less time than I wanted to online.

Was pretty dry on volume and narratives so decided to spend some time experimenting - this time with small sizing (!!!).

Finished at circa breakeven, but learned a little more about how to trade community coins and their 20 vamps.

Still +4 SOL for the challenge. More hours being put in tomorrow 🫡

[Count @TheCountXBT]

@1CrypTina @_inucoin Needed a break - had been about 18 months without one 😅

[Count @TheCountXBT]

Day 5, let's go. Starting after a brutal yesterday, but clear lessons to be learned:

- Don't bag hold shitters
- Smaller sizing on new pairs
- Smaller sizing whenever trying new things.

[Count @TheCountXBT]

@1CrypTina @_inucoin Great to hear from you Tina! Will take a look 👌

[Count @TheCountXBT]

Alright well we did catch the $HeavyPulp Marc Andreesen tweet just before logging off for +2 SOL, so -24 SOL for the day and +4 SOL for the challenge. Not bagging holding this one, so inevitably it goes higher 😅

[Count @TheCountXBT]

Day 4's performance = terrible (-26 SOL). +2 SOL overall.

Feel like my judgement got materially worse. I'll reflect on this and probably conclude 'trying new strategies with size' is a horrible idea.

Had a semi-acceptable entry on Kalanick's $atoms following the Elon tweet, but rather than cutting breakeven, decided to play the hero and bag hold to near 0. Horrible sizing as well 🤡.

Lost on both PvPs of the Marc Andreesen coin too.

Tomorrow is a new day, IRL stuff until the evening, but will mentally reset and bounce back.

[Count @TheCountXBT]

Made 1 SOL back at the end on $AURELIUS, so -1 for the day, +28 SOL overall.

Onwards 🫡

[Count @TheCountXBT]

Pretty mute end to day 3, finished -2 SOL, +27 SOL overall.

Learned a valuable lesson in the trenches though - you can't force a narrative because you're impatient / bored.

Seems obvious in hindsight...🤷‍♂️

Tomorrow is a new day, and feeling optimistic with pace of learning 😃
