James Christoph In The Trenches emotions lighter

    بواسطة Freddenver: Crypto

    The line between personal trading and professional market-making is where James Christoph draws his hardest battles. He explains that while standard crypto logic suggests buying to sell higher, his actual professional work leans more toward market making, which isn't the point of this conversation anyway. Instead, he focuses on the messy reality of managing emotions when conviction strikes. It remains easy for him to open a position based on strong belief, like when he bought a metric ton of lighter at the lows around 80 cents and sold it at 95 cents. That specific trade highlights the constant struggle: being convinced about an asset doesn't automatically mean you can trust yourself without getting your emotions in check. He admits he still finds this emotional management difficult nowadays and questions if he is truly okay at it, concluding that it is simply the hardest part of the game. #Crypto

    Definitely, definitely emotions, right? Like being, and I'm talking about things personally versus professionally, because professionally, I think trading is very different versus what we think about within crypto trading, where you're like, you're buying something to sell it higher versus I think on the professional side is more of a market making business, which is probably less germane to this conversation. So I'll just focus on like the personal stuff. Yeah, I think it was like the emotional stuff. And I still struggle with it nowadays. Like it's still very easy for me to put a position on that I've got a lot of conviction on. You know, I bought like a metric ton of lighter at the lows at like 80 cents. And I sold it at like, no, it's not nice because I sold it at like 95 cents. So it's like, yeah, exactly. So there's like, there's constantly those battles of like you're convicted on something, but you know, you need to kind of like get your emotions and check to, you know, actually trust yourself. I think that's just like a constant battle for me. And I think I'm okay at it, but you know, definitely not the best. It's the hardest part of the game.
