I’m a full-time trader focusing mostly on trading Bitcoin and some select Cryptocurrencies. I manage a weekly publication called Trading Meditations Newsletter on Substack, where I share my lessons, thoughts, and experiences on trading, investing, risk management, and psychology.
I began trading in 2017, quit my job (I don’t recommend it), and have been through a few full cycles by now. I share what I’ve learned on the way. Learn from my mistakes, or risk paying the price most new traders (including me) have paid. All articles are FREE. My gift to you, dear reader.
I focus predominantly on:
- Bitcoin trading.
- Risk management.
- Teaching basics of trading.
- Trading psychology.
- Stress management.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Personal experiences and perspectives on Bitcoin trading, with a focus on risk management and psychology.
- Insights into Bitcoin trading, risk management, and the basics of trading.
- Discussions on trading psychology and stress management.
- Learn from my failures, mistakes, successes, stories, and lessons in the trading world.
- Content will be free and not centered around get-rich-quick schemes or dubious projects.
- Emphasis on developing a trader’s mindset, thinking in probabilities, and managing risk.
- No false promises of overnight riches; the focus is on doing the work and developing trading strategies with an edge.
- Understanding the realities of trading and the importance of patience and diligence.
- Exploration of the unpredictable nature of markets and the need to think in terms of risk/reward opportunities.
- A mix of trading, Bitcoin, crypto, and psychology-related topics.
Join the newsletter for an honest, insightful, and practical approach to trading and Bitcoin, as well as reflections on the journey of a trader. None of it is financial advice, just my personal opinion and experience.
