Root of All Evil Today : Money

First post feeling junior. People in general do not be curious about why people attempt this kind of non-money generating, time consuming creations such as this blog. However I feel that when I am able to understand the logic, reason behind it, I can absorb the beneficial ideas inside the mind of the writer. So the expected question : why posting your ideas? Throughout my trading career, I have had many mistakes that I cannot count of. From psychological mistakes to execution mistakes. I mean many mistakes and mostly these mistakes cost me in terms of imaginary and real dollars. I say imaginary dollars as most of my wrong actions -or it turned out to be wrong- was losing the money that I did not have already. These kinds of mistakes were the ones that hurt most. So I have to fix these faults eventually, and thought it would be mutually beneficial to start a small size blog -maybe a monologue- to be able to hold myself accountable for these kinds of mistakes. If I read this post I would immediately ask how I am going to benefit from spending time reading this anonymous blog? Well, mostly because all the money I have made is from trading, my actual job is to trade. I do not always trade delta 1 products but still trading is core of what I do. To make it even easier for you I will list the things that you may expect from me in time : - Bias and Position Roadmaps : I will basically share how I am going to enter a position, where, why to stop or ride the position. Obviously, I will make mistakes. Also, I will point out what mistakes I have made and why I am not going to do it again. My purpose is not to look perfect, sometimes I am, but to stay accountable and transparent about my ideas or trades. - Alphas : In the crypto market, sometimes clear inefficiencies appear — opportunities with a 50%+ expected edge that most people overlook or simply I am wrong but still I will share that kind of ideas. - Portfolio Improvements and Sub-accounts : Basically, I use four different accounts. These are Alpha, Playbook, Intraday and Polymarket+Options account. I use these accounts separately to see how my P&L is diversified across different ideas and accounts. I have started to trade separately for these account at 01.11.2024 and results for now : (U stands for unit) Alpha 20 U -> 40.22 U

Playbook 6 U -> 8.8 U

Intraday 6 U -> 6.78 U 

Polymarket + Options 3.6U -> 3.8U (I started this at 16.10)

My goal is to able to share my ideas in these separate accounts and show how a real person would improve their TRADING portfolio. Not the Investment one.

- Playbook : Lastly, my Playbook is about building a structured and evolving framework to make my trading process more disciplined, consistent, and adaptive. It’s a living document that includes a defined set of rules, principles, and scenario-based strategies for different market environments. I plan to share each idea only after I’ve tested it thoroughly in live conditions. To back this process with data, I’ve also created a spreadsheet to track and analyze which setups perform best across different timeframes and market regimes. (I wrote this part with AI but it explains my thought better than I do in this paragraph)

Want to end my first, hope not last post, with a quote from my one of the favorite song :

“ Money

So they say

Is the root of all evil today

But if you ask for a rise

It is no surprise that they are giving none away

Away, away, away, “
