This document discusses strategies and mindsets for speculative trading in chaotic markets like cryptocurrencies. It emphasizes the following points: 1. Embracing chaos and understanding markets as complex, nonlinear systems governed more by chance than predictable laws. 2. Developing mastery of oneself, including self-awareness of goals and resources, to focus "firepower" on opportunities with the highest upside potential, like new or small coins. 3.

Order and regularity Disorder and irregularity
Predictable results, hence “deterministic” Unpredictable results, hence “probabilistic”

decisions made very quickly can be every bit as good as
decisions made cautiously and deliberately.”

16. TAP MINDSETS
MINDSET #2 : Mastery of Ourselves. To
BET properly we need to know ourselves
-----------------------------
Mastery of our situation, self-awareness, our goals and resources,
our stage of life - is basic

17. WHY SPECULATE NOT JUST INVEST?
THE CASE OF THE 75-YEAR OLD BILLIONAIRE
$1M @ age 30
$5M @ age 47
$100M @ age 75

18. TAP MINDSET
MINDSET #2.1 : IF WE HAVE LIMITED
BULLETS, we need to focus HOW WE
BET ?

19. Focused fire power on
the highest upside
( ie.highest value targets)

20. THE HIGEST UPSIDE COULD BE IN THE
ALTCOINS OR THE NEWCOINS

21. What did they do beside focus on one stock?
MINDSET #3: The money is in the sitting

22. MINDSET #4: Get volume on our WINNERS
by pyramiding the big swings
Pyramid trading - is a strategy that involves scaling into a
winning position. In other words, strategically buying or
selling in order to add to an existing position after the market
makes an extended move in the intended direction.

23. If you don’t BET, you don’t WIN
If you lose all your CHIPS, you cannot BET!
Most of all we must learn “ HOW to BET ” given all the CHAOS

24. In Summary:
- we must embrace the CHAOS
to master it
- we have to examine HOW we BET
- we have to focus the firepower
on the SPECULATIVE
- we have to patiently sit tight
- we must pyramid the volume

JESSIE LIVERMORE
1.“Money is made by sitting, not trading.”
2. “It takes time to make money.”
3. “It was never my thinking that made the big money for me, it
always was sitting.”
4. “Nobody can catch all the fluctuations.”
5. “The desire for constant action irrespective of underlying
conditions is responsible for many losses in Wall Street even
among the professionals, who feel that they must take home
some money everyday, as though they were working for regular
wages.”
6. “Buy right, sit tight.”
Jesse Livermore = $14 Billion
Buy right, HODL right!

48. CONCLUDING COMMENTS
“In a bull market the game is to BUY and
HODL until you believe the bull market is
near its end” - Jesse Livermore
