Trading Journal #13 - ZCASH/BTC (Follow Up)

I'm beginning to understand and appreciate one of the maxims of trading...

"Trade what you see, Not what you think" - Some Professional Trader

As you'll see here, I was expecting this trade to net me a return of 12% to 13%. Simply having such an expectation, as this one, is forcing my own results on the market when the market itself doesn't care about my expectations.

So, what did I do when I saw that my trade on ZCASH/BTC was already up 8%?

I closed the trade out, that's what I did! Any profit is good profit after all and plus, most traders (around 95%) lose money. That's not me and won't be me. I'm treating this as any professional trader with a million dollar account would, despite me not having an account that size.

After all, what's the difference between a $100 trading fund and $1,000,000 trading fund? It's just a bunch of zeroes at the end of the day, it's the fundamentals and experience that separates the professional from the amateur.

Happy Trading!

good choice, read the story of the chart right? and 8% is a nice return again. Yesterday I bought some ETH/EUR for 156.5 and during the night I sold for 172 😀 Currently at 174 but I'm not complaining. Just waiting for the next base crack.

Yep...it's always in the story of the chart. Nice Trade!!!! I have some alerts set for upcoming base cracks too...can't wait.

i believe JP Morgan is involved in ZCash. Whatever JP Morgan touches, folks need to pay attention to.
