For the market maker (MM), the market is perceived differently than for an ordinary trader. A trader often analyzes price using indicators, levels, and patterns, focusing on past dynamics. This limits his capabilities, as forecasts based solely on historical data do not always hold true. The trader sees only a 'horizontal' analysis — price and its history, without considering other factors that influence the current situation.
P.S. At one time, I traded with huge risks and losses.

#note Based on my transactions, Binance has identified me as a conservative trader. This means that I prefer to take fewer risks, choose more stable assets, and try not to get involved in dubious adventures. And that's true!)
But there are other approaches to trading: ⚡ Aggressive — maximum risk for the sake of potentially high profits, betting on volatile assets. ⚖️ Moderate — a balance between risk and stability, a flexible approach to investing.
Each style has its pros and cons, the main thing is to find the one that suits you.
Everyone has their own working style. Hedging and averaging are working tools that are effective in skilled hands.
And "gambling" is when you try to earn quickly or "get back" on your emotions by entering a trade with a large volume and end up losing everything.

Many respected expert traders write to me that my advice about averaging at a loss and adding margin is very important in risk management, that this is the only way to get out of a losing position and outlast the loss.
Let's not confuse gambling addiction and the attitude to trading as a business.
A simple example: you entered a trade for $10. You have a loss of 70%. You add another $10 margin. But the trade amount is still $10. If the price returns, the margin will not help you earn more. Instead of risking $10, you doubled it with the same chances of earning.
And now the main question: how much money will you have to average, at least on spot, at least on futures with 10-30 leverage?
And patience? Will you be able to tolerate a month of drawdown of 30-50% and continue averaging? Or if not a month, if 3-5 months? You freeze money in the hope of breaking even.
You need dopamine from the fact that you "won back". That's it. If you have problems making the right decisions, then you need to learn, not average. Averaging and margin are a temporary sedative.
On the 20th time, you will not have enough money or patience.Then you will lose every penny.
The crypto assets map by RSI on January 29: again a good time for purchases across a range of assets
The crypto assets map by RSI on January 29: again a good time for purchases across a range of assets. But, of course, few will buy them. Some are scared, some have nothing to buy. What do the #Coinglass data say? Very similar data were in our reviews on September 9 and September 16. And on September 9, we wrote - 'if altseason is to start, it should start from such values.' You can look at the charts of most assets from that date and measure the path they have traveled from September to the highs in November. That's tens, and in some cases hundreds of percent growth. After all, the good old RSI is a good thing.

Good morning, friends. Unfortunately for many, $TRUMP followed the scenario I described earlier: the 34.13 level was broken and the price fell by 20%. The downside target at 27.19 remains valid until I see a reversal to the upside. I understand that many are in the red right now, and I know how you feel, because I went through the same thing 9 years ago. I will not try to reassure you or calm you down, because I do not want to give you false hopes that will only make the situation worse. I will simply share my vision and understanding of the current situation.
For such fools, let me explain: it wasn't the Trump family that dumped their coins. THE ENTIRE MARKET BLED YESTERDAY!🩸 Otherwise, they act like they're smart.
On one hand, of course, their problems. I would transfer to a cold wallet and cash out in parts.
On the other hand, for that kind of money, they could take you to the woods 🌚

History: The Bug That Created a Millionaire
In 2020, a Reddit user named GuyWithBadLuck accidentally discovered a bug on a decentralized exchange (DEX) that led to incredible luck. He tried to make a small trade with tokens worth $50, but instead of the expected transaction, the system credited him with tokens worth $5 million.
At first, the user thought it was a display error. But when he checked his wallet through independent blockchain scanners, the amount turned out to be real. In a panic, he wrote on the forum that he did not know what to do. Some advised him to immediately transfer the funds to a safe place, others - to return the money to the platform.
The exchange quickly noticed the error and contacted him with a request to return the funds. However, since transactions on the blockchain are irreversible, GuyWithBadLuck found himself in the center of a moral dilemma: keep the money or return it.
He eventually decided to keep some of the funds as a "bug reward," but sent the bulk (around $4.5 million) back to the exchange. In gratitude, the platform publicly praised him and gave him a $50,000 bonus, as well as a job on the QA (quality assurance) team.
You made a mistake when you bought at the highs. You need to buy when the market is bleeding.🩸
