No matter what one's approach is to active trading, being charts or numerics or macro or fundamentals of all kinds, realize that any approach will be in sync with markets sometimes and out of sync other times.
This is the reality.
I do not trust the trader that says he/she constantly knows what kind of markets they are in and switches up accordingly. Nor should you trust them.
Some traders try to force their trading upon markets when their approach is out of sync.
Then there are times when a trader is out of sync with his/her own trading approach and forces trades that are out of their sweet spot.
Then there are times when an approach is out of sync with markets AND the trader is out of sync with the approach. Most accounts get rekt when this happens.
Mature traders develop an instinct about the compatibility of their approach and price discovery. During these times they stick with their approach, but emphasize risk control even more than normal.
Of course, mature traders think more in terms of risk management than trade selection. I know that anyone who emphasizes trade selection to me is someone I do not want to listen to.
I do not change up my approach when it is out of sync with price action. These periods will pass if I stay with my basis approach, which has not materially changed in decades.
Recently someone sent me a speech I gave before the MTA (predecessor of CMT) some 35 years ago. I could give the same speech today as representing my approach to market speculation.
My recommendation to aspiring novices or those who cannot gain traction is to develop an approach based on common sense (not smoke and mirrors), bet small, and improve it incrementally.
Only after several hundred trades using the same basic approach can you start running Monte Carlo simulations to determine if you have an edge.
Trading is a marathon, not a sprint.
Sequencer-embedded Chainlink oracle has hit Mega testnet.
This is an industry-first, and reduces the price drift on trades to ~0ms once live.
→ Tx needing quote is seen by sequencer
→ Sequencer inserts latest Chainlink price in front of said tx
Not only will traders not getting brutalized by malicious block builders sandwiching trades, but they'll have ~0 stale quotes to deal with as well.
People will lose their voices telling you that the tech doesn't matter around here, but they are wrong. Everything that has shown PMF in this industry is at the extremes of performance (Hyperliquid, Solana) or reliability (Ethereum, Bitcoin).
This will continue to be true and Mega will further it as a generalized EVM ecosystem stacking Mega-only features (10ms blocks, native oracle, etc).

🇧🇪 Belgium just convicted Dries Van Langenhove for “hate speech” because he linked mass migration to crime and social decline during a university lecture using statistics and scientific sources.
The judge openly admitted the facts themselves were not false.
That’s the terrifying part.
The ruling basically says you can still be punished even when what you say is true, if the government decides your framing is politically unacceptable.
He’s already spent over €420,000 fighting these cases and says more prosecutions are coming.
Welcome to Europe

The truth is called hateful in Belgium. Therefore speaking it is against the law.
This is more frightening than calling the truth "misinformation". They have stopped pretending completely. They are openly admitting that they have criminalized the truth.
A very sad announcement.
I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration.
In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least.
Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration.
In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence.
Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.”
That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth.
Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration."
You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible.
Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it.
The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration.
Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail.
Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win.
If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM.
If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
Time to come out of the closet
I’m Ronnie Red, pack leader at Kumbaya
Over $100k in top-ups going out to every eligible retail LP from TGE. Pushing directly to wallets, starting early next week
We've been quiet because calculating top-ups across thousands of LP transactions takes a while on a fast chain like Mega with so many blocks to trawl through.
Follow me, then DM me here or on Telegram (@ronnie_kby) If you have any issues with top-ups once they've gone out and I'll help you out personally.
Oh, and let me know if you have ideas for Dares.
Kumbaya was never just an AMM, We're sharing more on what we're actually building above ☝️
In other news: We’re launching a competition soon where people will create viral content, and the craziest stunts will get cash prizes. Launchpad meets ice bucket challenge
There’s much more to come
