Anything for a polite anon.

BNF is Japan's best daytrader after CIS. He's not as mysterious as CIS and has shown his face on TV, but it's hard to find information about his trading methods. All I know is he specializes in knife-catching. Wait for a stock to be really off the 25SMA and buy betting on a reversion to the mean. I guess he uses RSI or Bollinger bands to know when to buy.

some japanese shut-in who supposedly turned $13k into $150 million for day trading stocks. I watched some video clip where he said he doesn't even look at charts, trades solely based on price action. Lives alone and doesn't spend his money on anything, eats nothing but instant noodles.

all the info about him was from 8 years ago or so and then he seems to have dropped off the radar. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up losing everything

Nope, thats pretty much what my bot runs. Simple as fuck. You just need to add in checking higher timeframes (ie not mid-crash haha) and you're golden. It's insanely effective, mean reversion is the bomb. I even use it manual trading on Bitmex. Much better than TA memeline bullshit (it's a stats based strat, not TA).

Interesting since I've been experimenting with trading based off just the order book. Suffice to say it's pretty tough even with short scalps of 2%. With a more liquid market I could see it being a bit easier

I've read about a few successful traders now whose strategy is literally just to watch the L2 order books all day and trade based on feeling. It makes sense, the market is an incredibly complex thing, you'll never think up a winning strategy by following some simple TA indicators. The brain however is remarkable in its ability to identify patterns unconsciously out of random noise. This was 10-20 years ago however, I doubt it's worth bothering with these days.

It’s not that hard. It’s time consuming though, which is why I don’t do it. It could take literally all day to get that 10% goal. I did it one day and it took over 7 hours. It’s basically like having a full time job. My lazy ass doesn’t want to work.

You forgot risk management, anon. 50% of your trades won't go up, maybe more. you gotta make sure your winning trades do better than your losses, and I don't think scalping 1% per winning trade works in the long term.

It's pure momentum. Look for big buys, get in, and get out 10 seconds later with a small profit. Basically high frequency trading before the bots took over.

[Anonymous No.9183242]

>>9183190
Yes you can. Nobody wants to do it though. Like I said, it’s time consuming. Do you know how easy it is to make 1% off of a trade? Pick any top 30 coin and you can easily do it just by getting a feel for the patterns after looking at the charts. ICX can make you 2% in just an hour right now. It’s been swing between 45k and 46k sats for the past 4 hours.

[Anonymous No.9183269]

>>9183058
Bro if you take a look at all the top day traders of today they'll all tell you L2 is key. It's called momentum trading. Looking at TA can only do so much as it's a lagging indicator and the trades these guys make are in-out in-out that depend on immediate signals like the market depth and the time and sales.

[Anonymous No.9183280]

>>9183204
That’s why you have to get a feel for the charts. Study different charts for different coins and subconsciously learn the patterns. Then pick one that has been following a set pattern for the past couple hours. Wait for the whatever price the bottom has been for the past couple hours, but, then sell when it gains 1%. Most people wait for 10% or more in a single trade. Unless the coin you bought is absolute shit and you’re catching a falling knife, it’s gonna go up at least .5-1% somewhere soon after you bought it, even if it’s for just a split second.

He literally got 20 million for (almost) free because someone fat fingered a trade. I haven't looked him up since 10 years ago, but there is probably a lot of information on him online. He still turned that into a lot more money, but it's a bit like if you suddenly had 2000 BTC because someone mistyped their wallet address. You still would have to work to turn that into even more, but it's a hell of a lucky start.

he made his money due to an technical glitch at the stock exchange a decade ago.

Some company was supposed to offer 1 stock for 31000 yet (or something similar) instead they accidentally offered 31000 stock for 1 yen.

This guy bought millions of stock due to that.

There was no law in Japan to do anything against this legally. Company asked buyers to give their shares back to the company.. Most buyers did. this guy kept his shares and sold them with a 20 million profit the following weeks.
