After 5-6 years trading and teaching, The Art of Crypto says systems theory, probability, and mindset make up 80% of what separates profitable traders from the rest. Students consistently rank these three fundamentals as the most valuable lessons, not advanced techniques or liquidity concepts.
It's always ironic that we forget in order to become a master, you have to master the basics. And that is the fundamental truth that you need to understand about trading if your goal is to make it in the long run. I've been doing this for like 5, 6 years at this point, and there are a lot of things that I've learned only in the last couple of years, especially as I get more and more advanced. And if there's one thing that I can tell you right now is that if you truly just understand probability theory and systems theory, just these 2 things alone is gonna get you pretty much all the way, like to 80% of the way to, you know, just being consistently profitable. And the reason why I know this is because that's been the case for me, but it's also been the case for a lot of the students inside Blueprint and Bootcamp, right? I've done quite a few interviews before with, you know, these students, and consistently when I ask them, hey, what's the most valuable part of the program, I always expect to hear something like, oh, liquidity concepts, right? I just taught you about relative equal highs and lows. But no, it's always the systems theory module, the probability theory module, the mindset modules. So just remember, like, systems theory, probability theory, and just understanding this stuff is literally at the base of everything that you do in trading.
