The 3 Trading Personalities That Actually Make Money (PART 1)
After years of watching traders come and go, I've noticed only 3 types consistently profit. Most people try to be everything to everyone and end up being nothing to the market.
Which One Are You?
โ๏ธ The Mean Reversion Player
- Profits from overextended moves snapping back
- Uses EMAs, volume profiles, order flow analysis
- Perfect for hedging positions
- Reality check: Upside is mathematically capped
- Tools: Exocharts, TradingView
-------------
๐ The Trend Rider
- Doesn't chase bottoms, catches the middle of moves
- Golden rule: Market rarely gives you perfect entries
- Biggest trap: Not knowing when to exit
- My solution: Fib extensions for defined profit targets
- Warning signs: Double tops, EMAs turning resistance
-------------
๐งช The Experimenter
- First to try new protocols and narratives
- Most experiments fail, but early wins are massive
- This is how I caught Peanut and AI meta before anyone else
- Tools: Elfa AI, DeFiLlama, Moni Discover
Here's What I've Learned:
The experimenters make the biggest gains when they hit. Mean reversion gives steady returns. Trend traders capture the meat of every move.
But here's the secret: The most successful traders I know combine all three approaches depending on market conditions.
I started as pure experimenter (hence the early gem finds), added mean reversion for consistent income, and use trend following for major positions.
Part 2 will reveal how to blend these strategies and which approach works best in different market cycles.
