In fact, many people think I'm a "short-term trader".
Whether it's considered "long-term" or "short-term" for me only depends on the logic behind each trade.
For example, when there was a liquidity shortage across exchanges I went long on slerf; I shorted doge when Musk and Trump were trash‑talking on Twitter; on 10/11 when Trump announced a small essay to start a trade war I shorted BTC; and I bought the dip in small coins during crashes.
These trades all had very short holding periods, the shortest being two 15‑minute candles, and the longer ones around 3‑4 hour candles.
But this has nothing to do with short‑ or long‑term trading; these were all event‑driven trades—I entered when the event started and exited for profit when it ended.
When an event occurs, the candle response is that fast; the earlier you spot and understand it, the more you can profit.
In contrast, day trading purely by staring at the candle chart without considering narrative, events, or trade data—opening a hundred or eighty orders a day—basically won’t make anyone money.
Aside from my "love crypto for ten thousand years" teacher, there really isn’t any subjective trader who gets high‑frequency short‑term results purely from a candle system; the market is huge but only he stands out. So you can imagine how hard the true "short‑term grind" path is.
🥒🐱 The cucumber cat teacher's post is actually worth everyone’s attention; profitable people in the market all have their own "traits", and finding a trading style that fits you is the best.
If you wanna stop losing money in crypto, the first thing you should do is STOP day trading.
Because RETAIL day trading is structurally a SCAM.
This is a long post but if you just give me 120 seconds of your time, I swear you'll thank me in a few years.
I’ve been trading since I was a teenager.
I’ve had wins that made me feel I’m Batman and losses that genuinely broke pieces of me I’m still putting back together.
I tried EVERY STRATEGY myself as retail could ever find.
I even day traded for a year thinking it would finally save me, and I failed so painfully it still stings every time I remember it.
> My PNL was so shit to the point that my grandma, who I HELPED set up an AUTO BUY on BTC for, made more money than me.
> Then I became a low-frequency swing trader who barely touches positions, who GETS THE F OUT and STOPS TRADING for a while after a winning move.
> ONLY THEN did my life get better and everything finally start to click.
I’m not a saint. I’m writing this to save the younger, dumb, naive,
