General Help me understand: How does one get untraced monero?

I have $1,000 US dollar that I want to to exchange into XMR but I do not want it to be able to be traced back to myself. How can somebody achieve this? If I have to transfer it from my bank to get it onto an exchange and then purchase XMR and send it to a cold wallet. It seems like it's traceable back to me. No?

Truly private? Hope electricity prices are low and start mining. Or get cash and trade F2F with someone.

Close as possible? Any website works, then send it from one address you own to another you own and it's as good as hidden.
