Oooooh, exciting!<\/p>\n<p>The big news this week is that I&#8217;m absolutely sick of Copy Trading. Seriously, the markets right now are SO easy that even I&#8217;m making money off trading, but these lead traders &#8211; supposed professionals &#8211; are piling up losses against each occasional win.<\/p>\n<p>I know it worked really well a while back, but FFS, I&#8217;ve had enough. Every big loss I&#8217;ve suffered is from Copy Trading. Every one.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, I&#8217;d had enough the day before they all went long on a short (again) and pulled all but $1,000 out (in USDT) and split it between Banking and Trading. I&#8217;ve left that nominal amount in so the pros can turn it into giant piles of cash with their <em>Aw3s0mE sK1lLz\u2122<\/em> without the possibility of losing an absolute feckin&#8217; fortune (again).<\/p>\n<p>Bring it, asshats.

Might as well earn an extra little bit on each while everything&#8217;s stagnating, then pop them back up at the same sell prices when things start moving! (Auto-earn requires basic KYC, unfortunately.)<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, it&#8217;s been a pretty slow week, with the markets wiggling around but not going anywhere. Plus the usual Sunday dip!<\/p>\n<p>Here are this week&#8217;s numbers:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.publish0x.com\/prod\/fs\/images\/27b1c7896588f8e6c5a4e5788b6d46d275af390db4f60ad0f6262b272f2ad385.png\" alt=\"Day 356\" width=\"304\" height=\"311\" data-id=\"L0Yl7kd4MJKk2d81\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Back down overall today, thanks to a 5% drop overnight and a crappy week. I am, however, more hopeful now that I&#8217;ve pulled funds out of other people&#8217;s incompetent hands and put it into sensible places. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publish0x.com\/earning-a-million-through-crypto\/earning-pound-1m-through-crypto-copy-trading-and-how-i-lost-xxrymkp\">Hard lesson<\/a> re-learned, for good this time.<\/p>\n<p>In detail:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trading down 9.14%<\/li>\n<li>Copy Trading down 44.40% (moving funds, obvs!)<\/li>\n<li>Banking up 11.64%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall down 3.00%<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not too bad. Moving funds to Banking slowed the drop significantly, especially as I moved some banked BTC into SOL to get better interest rates &#8211; SOL is far less volatile at this time and held my totals up nicely. Trading&#8217;s down because of the market drop, as always.<\/p>\n<p>Today is also the end of a month on my demented timelines, though next week is the EOYear.<\/p>\n<p>I hesitate to post these numbers because I&#8217;ve moved funds for the last few weeks and they make very little sense.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media3.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExODQ5eWYxdnQ3Y3dmaW41ejU2NWVhNjQweWtsamJpdmFldzVpZmZlMyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/pPhyAv5t9V8djyRFJH\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whatever:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trading up 36.74%<\/li>\n<li>Copy Trading down 75.88%<\/li>\n<li>Banking up 62.01%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall up 4.68%<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That last number is all that really matters this month &#8211; and it&#8217;s a wee tiny bit lower than the ~5% monthly that would double funds in a year.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still happy, though. It&#8217;s a positive number.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8217;26 Picks<\/h2>\n<p>No real surprises here, though it&#8217;s depressing to see PUMP almost going negative.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.publish0x.com\/prod\/fs\/images\/3cdc540d1c9502d84cb40f7719283e139eb2a3a08aaf09b14910d4152210a9dc.png\" alt=\"Day 356 Picks\" width=\"493\" height=\"230\" data-id=\"jeWozk679dbZ6NKA\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That little voice in my head is screaming at me for not selling when some of those were up 25% (or 60% for PUMP), but I&#8217;m sticking to the plan. Hold until this nonsense passes and prices rise.<\/p>\n<p>I also (again accidentally) discovered that MEXC does this thing about sentiment when you click a coin in your Overview, and a surprising number of those are 70%+ bullish (whatever that means). ALGO isn&#8217;t, of course, but neither are DOGE and SUI. Sentiment means little to me, since I have no idea how they&#8217;re measuring it, but it&#8217;s an interesting BS metric! \ud83e\udd13<\/p>\n<p>One more week to year-end of my earning attempts (not the p0x version) and I&#8217;m feeling positive despite the losses. I&#8217;ve finally cut away that dead meat in Copy Trading and left it to rot by the wayside as I continue&#8230; onwards and upwards!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How was your week?
