Real traders don't care about 'tops' and 'bottoms'
Quick lesson for everyone.
Don't confuse what we do with investment calls or the kind of calls and 'signals' you will see on Twitter/Reddit/Tiktok/YouTube/etc.
We are in the business of making money from price movements (or volatility) whether that is up or down and rarely have an interest in trying to find exact bottoms and tops. (Perhaps Bitcoin just to judge USDT markets and dominance).
We are interested in high probability trades, and often that means knowing when to get in and out quickly to get your % gains and then exit the market before the winds start blowing in the other direction.
This means that at times you may wonder "why are we buying after such a big run-up already? Surely the top is in?!" - Remember that we don't care and that's not how this works. We are looking for predictable patterns of behavior and often that means grabbing just a few % here and there.
You may ask why we don't always give signals that catch the bottoms of dips. Again, it's just not how it works. Leave 'knife catching' bottoms to the masses of retail that enjoy gambling rather than having the patience for trading!
All the best,
