Building discipline on the charts. 5 years trading BTC. Sharing the journey — good months and bad. Software engineer building something to fix my execution.
I've been trading Bitcoin for 5 years. Backtesting, studying levels, watching others, and building my own TradingView setups.
And I'm basically break-even.
Been using the journal I'm building for 3 days.
7 trades logged. 1 closed.
Journal tells me I might have too many open trades, but just waiting to hit some TPs either above (hoping for low 80k) or below (~70k).
Built this because backtesting my strategy hits at a high % yet I'm just break-even.
The problem isn't the chart. It's breaking my own rules.
This is how I'm fixing it.
Sharing the whole journey here. Good months and bad months.
If you've ever known exactly what to do but let the emotion and psychology get the best of you — follow along.

I'm a software engineer. So I did what we do.
I built something to fix it. A journal that tracks not just my P&L but every rule I break and what it costs me.
Happy new year!!!
This week, I’ll gift 0.00010000 BTC (10,000 sats) to a random follower who:
1. reposts this post
2. comments on this post (any comment your heart desires)
Since my follower count is basically negative, chance of receiving the gift should be pretty high! If you don’t care about receiving 10,000 sats but still want to help me grow followers so I can give out more next time, feel free to repost and not comment. I’ve never done anything like this so hopefully I’m not violating any terms of service 😅
Also, if your X account doesn’t have bitcoin tipping enabled, I’ll request a lightning address from you if you win. I’m just going to use a random number generator I find online to randomize the commenters who follow me. Payout will be this weekend: Sunday the 5th at 10am (PST).
Hope 2025 brings you good health and happiness! Cheers! 🍻
