In the past two weeks playing Alpha, I've only done three things
The rhythm of Alpha has visibly accelerated during this period: once the preheating is thrown out, the door opens; miss an hour, and the first batch of chips basically won't include you. Many people ask me how to keep up; I don't preach, just share my trading habits over the past two weeks, use what you can.
Secure a position first, then judge.
Alpha is now popular with 'first come, first served + decreasing thresholds'; by the time you 'see more clearly', it often becomes expensive. My method is quite basic—swap a small amount with points first to secure a position; then decide whether to add based on market depth and release schedules. Securing a position is for qualification, not for all-in.
