People DM me asking what it takes to be that top 5% successful day trader
I always refer to 5 dimension trading techniques, never published anywhere: Now you have it.
1st Dim: Price action 15M with volume - chart analysis, pattern recognition, trend analysis, major S/R levels
Jim's 2 books on Market profiles - must read for anybody who is serious about day-trading as well as swing trading.
Great tools to spot the large institutional trading fingerprint & intentions, combining with volume profile would pinpoint perfect intraday S/R
It would take about at least 1 year screen time to paper trade profitably before trading the real account.
So, please do not ask me about which tools are better. Actually, I have no idea.
However, I have followed #ticktool for a while, it seemed to be a good starting point
Absolutely not promoting anything, just answer some DM questions
Hint: Liquidity Moves Market
Below is an important old post about what moves the market?
We have talked about the Sentiment extremes moves market, evidenced by the extreme Fear to extreme Greed $VIX Mean Reversion strategy (see pinned posts)
The MMs, large institutions, hedge funds & speculators all trying to make the most liquidity in the market to work in their favor.
Some fading the crowd, liquidity hunting all day, fake break-outs and break-downs etc. dis/acc

I need to make one thing clear

1 Your bias, market blogs, commentaries, forums, market gurus, tweets, divergences etc CANNOT move price in any direction
2 Liquidity, sentiments & bid/ask volume made by market participants move market
3 $VIX strategy trades sentiment extremes
And what is the easiest way to find the most liquidity in the market?
1 - Major S/R levels - including trend-line, month/week/daily MP and Fib lvls.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
