#BtcNewHolder “Getting Started with Scalping and Becoming a Holder”
Ah, scalping. That wonderful art of making dozens of micro-trades a day, like a chart ninja. At first, you are full of energy and optimism: “I will make money at every price swing!” But then reality sets in, and in the blink of an eye you find yourself a holder… not by choice, but out of desperation.
The Great Illusion of Scalping
Scalping seems great in theory: buy low, sell high, repeat. Simple, right? Too bad the market has a sense of humor all its own:
• The price drops as soon as you buy. Don’t worry, it’s just a correction.
• The price drops again. Okay, I’m just testing a new support.
• The price collapses. And there you have it, you are officially a holder. Welcome to the club.
From active trader to long-term philosopher
In the beginning, you open and close positions with millimeter precision. Then, after the tenth wrong entry, you decide that maybe long-term trading is more for you. It's not that Holding is your strategy, it's that you've already locked in your funds and prefer to pretend that it's all part of the plan.
Signs that you're about to become a holder:
1. "I'll get it back tomorrow." Tomorrow comes and, instead, you lose another 5%.
2. "Okay, I'll hold it for the future." Good job, now you look like a serious investor.
3. "HOLD to the moon!" It doesn't matter how long it takes: years, decades... you believe it (more or less).
The lesson of scalping as a holder
Scalping is like racing at 200 km/h on a bumpy road: either you're an expert driver or you end up off the track. When you become a holder, however, you stop worrying about the details. You sit back, cross your fingers and wait for the market to take its course.
Conclusion:
Starting with scalping and ending up as a holder is a bit like starting a diet and ending up at the drive-thru: it wasn't the plan, but now you're in it. Next time you think about #scalping, remember: the market is unforgiving and, often, it decides for you.You might as well enjoy the ride!
