@LinekersLegs has been trading for 20+ years. They appear to be discretionary trading single non-leveraged positions with a stop loss.
They havent stated what products theyre trading other than not trading crypto. Thats the thread topic and what were discussing.
You could be right and in familiar territory they may well be a shark...that doesnt seem likely though from how they trade. They appear to be rather conservative as a guess.
I stated that retail day trading in crypto and using leverage in SpotFX was similar to gambling.
Youre disputing this but also saying you do neither...
Its one thing trading EUR/USD on a spread of 0-0.3 using a nicely layered double sided order book + paying up to $10 per million in brokerage fees. Take a look at those 'real' order books, instant execution, deep liquidity and 'fair' market conditions while using technical analysis.
In Crypto theres wash trading, artificial pricing, one sided order books, brokerage fees 20, 30 and 40 times larger than in the above example in FX.
In the EUR/USD example imagine I own 90% of the Euros and 90% of the USD orderbook on the other side. I can manipulate the price to whatever I want.
You try to trade against me and at anytime I can show you artificial pricing, then once youre in I remove one side of the order book, then you cannot escape.
That is the reality of crypto where markets are expensive, illiquid and artificial.
I dont blame you for not trading it...its not like traditional markets.
This is a good thing.
