The Dilemma of the “Expert Trader” (A Story of Red Candles)
We all know the typical friend who enters the cryptocurrency market and, after reading two threads on X (Twitter), changes their bio to: “Venture Capital Investor and Macroeconomic Analyst.” This is the chronicle of his perfect week:
Monday: He buys a memecoin he saw in a viral video because “the project has solid fundamentals” (the fundamental is the design of a little dog wearing a hat).
Tuesday: The coin rises by 5%. Our hero starts looking for beachfront apartments and calculates how many Lamborghinis he’ll buy.
Wednesday: The market corrects. A giant red candle appears on the chart.
Thursday: He watches the screen every 35 seconds. The stress is so intense he has aged 5 years in 24 hours.
Friday: He sells everything at a loss to “save the capital.”
Saturday: The coin jumps 300%.
Our expert’s final technical analysis: “The market is manipulated by the whales; I predicted it, but I decided to take strategic losses.” Sure thing, champ.
Confess in the comments: Who has been that “expert trader” at least once in their life? 💸
