I didn’t become a better trader by finding better indicators. I became better when I stopped trying to outsmart the market and started trying to understand it.
My background is teaching, not finance. That sounds irrelevant, but it shaped how I approached everything in Crypto. Teachers don’t care about the answer, they care about the process, about whether a student actually understands why the answer works. Market understand works in the same way.
Most people chase certainty, but like all things in life certainty doesn’t exist, but probability does.
Trading taught me that confusion is expensive. Not because you’re dumb, but because no one ever taught you how to think in systems or plans. Entries, exits, sizing, risk, review, portfolio structure, risk management, on chain trends... these are the boring things, the unsexy things, but they are the very things that actually compound over time.
Anyone can follow a random signal, but very few can explain why a trade made sense after it lost. That’s the gap I care about.
If you understand process, outcomes stop controlling your emotions and once emotions stop driving decisions, everything changes.
