lavventura | 2 years ago | on: Using Emacs as $EDITOR

I am using Emacs since 10 years, hence I feel like it is now impossible for me to switch back to any other editor.

It brought me back to childhould memories, I remember the songs of the games I played. I wish there were links to all the games's info.

You are not required to use emacs for the org mode. Org files can be edited with any flat-text editor (e.g., Vim, Atom, or Visual Studio Code), and many have plugins that help create and manage Org files.

lavventura | 3 years ago | on: What in the Ethereum application ecosystem excites me

Only thing that drives Ethereum application ecosystem to allow people to gain and ofcourse to lose money. If Ethereum was not attached to financial interest the project would not grow. I believe the ecosystem and everything, it's all a scam. The platform, new emerging projects, all ads are serving exchanges to liquadate people and gain money and destroy their lives.

My reply will not meant to convince you because I agree with you :-)

> "The day comes where you continue doubling down and you lose a substantial amount of capital in the process."

- I believe that continue doubling is one of the most fatal stratetegy. Sadly, I made this mistake multiple times, which caused me a extensive loss. The only solution I come up is, while continuing doubling, cut loss if there is a certain amount loss reached (like 10$ or 1% of the capital). That was the actualy reason I implemented the bot where it automatically closes the position for me; since in a loss , "fear" does not let me realize what's happening and instead of a cut loss I adding more into a losing trade.

I was experimenting in Binance Spot.I don't believe it out-performs the market, but it can survive when market crashes since the bot is not greedy.

The bot opens up to 20 positions in parallel each starts with 2$ and always limit order with 0.5% profit. Some positions close itself in few seconds some remain for a day.

If there is -5% loss on a position, I added up the amount of the position and re-order limit order with 0.5% gain. Let's say for 2$ position if there is 5% loss, I add 2$ more, than 4$ ... The position size grows as 2 => 4 => 8 => 16 ... with updated limit order for each. I observe that eventually position close it self with profit.

In trading, I realize I always made loses when my emotions get involved. So I decided to implement a trading-bot in Python for fun. It took 1.5 years of development. The bot can open ~100 positions each day and closing all with 1 cent gain (in total ~1$ profit per day). At least its nice to see something I made can make some money even its amount pretty small.

lavventura | 3 years ago | on: FTX Token, FTT down by more than 80% in less than 24 hours

I did lose money, even when I shorted with 1x leverage. The crypto pumped 3x in few hours. Sometimes trading against Binance's bots like playing chess against a chess master who cheats a lot. But with smart moves, some luck and patience there are some trading enterance points that may bring you some gains.
