I've been trading for 8 years.
Tried everything...
ICT.
SMC.
CRT.
Fibonacci.
Trendlines.
Liquidity.
VWAP.
Order Flow.
Footprints.
EMA.
RSI.
MACD.
Bollinger Bands.
All I can say is...
NOTHING WORKS BETTER THAN SIMPLE SUPPORT & RESISTANCE.
There's ZERO debate here.
Weak hands want every answer immediately. I’m willing to wait for the operating data because yesterday’s update showed NovaRed moving toward it. NFA.

Crypto was awesome when the focus was on the tech. I remember being stoked about blockchain tech when I realized it would solve the voting problems, the authentication problems, the remittances problems, and so much more.
But for some reason the people in power don’t want these things (or any thing really) to be fixed. They don’t want a source of truth. They want to keep the lines blurred. They want the fraud. They want the high fees and long wait times. They don’t want progress unless it lines their pockets.
There are so many things that humans have invented that would substantially improve humanity, but the creators are killed off or the ideas are shut down by those in control.
15 investing lessons most people learn the hard way.
Some are obvious. Some are painful. All of them are expensive to learn by experience.
Here they are in 5 minutes.
1. If you invest, you can lose. If you don't invest, you've already lost. At 2% inflation, $ 100 today is worth $ 54 in 30 years and $ 36 in 50. Doing nothing guarantees the loss.
2. Lump sum plus monthly investing is the holy grail. Start with a lump sum, then invest 10% of your net salary every month, up market or down. Consistency does the heavy lifting.
3. Compounding applies to everything, not just money. As Naval put it: all returns in life, whether wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.
4. The single greatest investment is in yourself. Read. Follow great investors. Stay curious. The more you learn, the better your decisions.
5. Volatility isn't your enemy. It's your opportunity. Dips of 10%, 20%, 30% aren't signals to panic. They're signals to buy more. In the long run, markets go up.
6. The market roughly doubles your money every decade. Real return on equities after inflation: about 7% a year over 200+ years. Start early, and time becomes your superpower.
7. Don't chase hot tips or the next big thing. A "sure thing" tip is usually neither sure nor a thing. Stick to your plan. Leave fast-money schemes to gamblers and scammers.
8. Quality over quantity. Own businesses, not lottery tickets. 30 great companies beat 300 mediocre ones. Concentration builds wealth. Diversification preserves it. Know the difference.
9. The market climbs the wall of worry. The last 100 years: two world wars, 25 recessions, oil crises, pandemics, meltdowns. The result? 7 to 10% annual growth. Tune out the noise.
10. Investing is not gambling. In 150+ years of market history, there has never been a single 20-year period where investors lost money. Even after inflation.
11. Leverage is the root of all evil. Borrowing to invest might amplify your gains. It can also wipe you out completely. Avoid it. Period.
12. Don't wait for the next crash to invest. "I'll invest when it crashes" sounds smart but is deeply flawed. Timing is nearly impossible, and those who wait miss years of growth. Invest steadily instead.
13. Reinvest your dividends. Dividends feel nice. Spending them is a mistake. Over time, reinvested dividends make up roughly 40% of total market returns.
14. The journey matters. Those who stay in, win. Every setback, every dip is part of the game. Think in decades, not weeks.
15. The best time to start was years ago. The second best is now. CHF 500 a month, started early, compounds into a fortune while you sleep. You can't go back. You can start today.
These 15 lessons cost years and real money to learn the hard way. You just got them in 5 minutes.
Now go act on them.
