The Art of Crypto shows how taking mediocre trades kills profits even when you score a big win. He turned a $10,000 gain into $4,000 in a month by chasing B-grade setups. The fix: wait for rare A+ trades that are unmistakably high-probability, and ignore everything else.
There were moments before where I remember in a single trade I made like $10,000. Now when I look at the, you know, kind of like end of month report and you know, when I actually go to, you know, withdraw that money into my account, there's only $4,000. That's because I was getting derailed by all of these B setups. And this ultimately just ties back to something that I always like to tell you guys in the YouTube videos, which is we all know what the A+ setup looks like. This is the trade to where everything is so clear and so straightforward that there is no other way to explain it other than this is a great potential trade. Now if we only took those, again, We will be incredibly successful. The hard part about trading is to avoid all of the garbage that comes in between those A+ setups, because the entire kind of concept about these A+ setups is that they are outliers. And by exception, it means that it is not the norm, so it doesn't come around that often. So as a trader, if you are able to exercise more discipline, to be patient, to know exactly what you're looking for, and to only go for the A+ setups and avoid all of the garbage in between, that is how you win.
