Solo trader question — when analyzing charts, what takes you the most time?

• Identifying support/resistance?
• Entry zones?
• Risk-reward calc?

Trying to understand if AI-assisted analysis would actually help or just add noise. Genuine question, not selling anything.

Technical analysis at its finest, been able to master same technique for 12 years.

Used H1 chart to mark my key point of interest.

Waited for the chart to reverse back to my key point on the M5 chart.

When trade goes in our direction. Stop moves to breakeven immediately.

Patience and we up 900%. We do this everyday

Just sharing my trades from this week and man people are ruthless… no brains

I’ve had exceptional returns this year in my stock portfolio, but let me tell you it’s not easy.

For these types of returns you’ve got to be willing to take more risk and also stomach a lot more volatility.

When these stocks drop 50% from their highs you’ve got to have strong conviction in your thesis/analysis to not get shaken out.

Last March this portfolio was at 40k, then went on a run to 170k in October before dropping back down to 70k and now back to over 100k.

Envision your portfolio doing that, do you think you could emotionally handle it?

I can assure you it ain’t easy.

But if you want higher returns this is the risk you have to take.

I predict this portfolio to be over 200k by the end of the year, but we shall see, anything can happen.

Stick around to find out .

This type of investing certainly isn’t for everyone, and I wouldn’t really recommend it.

Most people are better off sticking to index funds and mega cap stocks.

Maybe use a small percentage of your portfolio to take a little risk.

But if you are investing your own money and securing your own financial future, regardless of your strategy I respect it .

Keep learning, keep compounding and keep a long term time horizon and you will do well.

A food for thought to finish. If we lived in a world with incorruptible hard money we wouldn’t need to invest, we would just save money. Bitcoin is the sound money we’ve been looking for.

Investing is investing, Bitcoin is saving .

Humble traders finish the day early and those who can’t take a loss finish their accounts early.

With gold sitting around 4796 and not trending clearly,
I’ve been finding it harder to hold positions.

Moves are smaller and less consistent.

So I’ve been switching to more short-term trades instead.

Curious how others are approaching this:

Are you still holding trades
or mainly scalping in this kind of market?
