That's what they do to most black players when they want to destroy them.

Every state wants to portray a good image even if it's to hide crime.

Today na today. Ile.gend don enter una hand today. 😜. See as I dey laugh since morning. Where that oloribu somebody where say him name na seeeahala make him come write bible for us. Lol

After some days, it dies and they move on. I'd recommend they read this post below I found on Binance and do what that guy is doing to make money.

iL.egend has always been their main target from day 1. Those people are from Romance Section of Nairaland. We lived a life of bluntness and violence there and they carried it over with new monikers to Investment section. They came with a mindset of "cruise as usual."

They're here because of me. If I quit this thread, few months later, you won't see any of them. I'm the real sh!t that brought the flies here.

All these things were 100% free back then in my community. The ones you don't have, your neighbour has and they'll give you for free and everyone lived a healthy life.

Every household had at least 20 varieties of fruits and vegetables in their compounds — it was like a tradition and normal. No compound was exempted. Even if everywhere was tiled — they'll make room to plant fruits.

But today, they told us book is the only way to survive instead of telling us practical is the only way and book is supplementary.

Every family wanted to have graduates in their homes, not healthy farmers.

Today, most graduates' salary in Nigeria can't afford the content of that fridge.

70% on food, 20% on transportation, 5% on data and 5% on survival.

Rat race introduced to us by our learned parents and the government.

Anything that involves money in this 21st century, don't trust your parents and the government, especially if your parents are poor or even middle class.

Ilegend please ignore that troll for the sake of peace of this thread..instead of replying him.. just use the "block" button or use the report button..other people too should do the same to the worthless troll

I don't like blocking people, but did yesterday and today cuz I was getting mentioned, but I wasn't reading those mentions, so I felt it's just better to cut off what you don't read to create sanity for what you read.

Someone trolling me? Wow! Can the person do it for 5 years nonstop? If no, he isn't worth it. I like determined people. Only 1 or 2 people on Nairaland did it to me for 5 years and today, I can't even remember their monikers.

Trolls don't last. Lack of responsibility or depression is the reason they have time to troll. It's a way to escape the pains they face in real life.

Our jobs as sensible humans is to always wish them speedy recovery.

In Nigeria, mental health is not taken seriously but 70% or more of the youths are mentally fatigued and some are at the point of giving up in life. Social media violence is their last hope for joy and laughter.

Trust me, Nigerian youths are going through a lot, especially the men, and most especially the first sons or the ones from poor homes.

My prayer is for great things to happen in their lives and they'll finally understand how precious the time they waste online are.

The screenshot above is from 5th of August 2024 chart, when BTC fell to 49 or 48k and people were chanting "we're going lower, don't buy yet."

If you arm yourself with what I just gave for free above, you won't be among them again, but since it free and easily given, you won't see the value. #FACT!

The game the people who control the market play is simple.

Exhaust them for 2 hours or 2 days or 2 weeks or 2 months or worse, but rarely, 2 years before you move.

Within these period, the market will consolidate within a range and play with your emotions. It's designed that way to push you to make hundreds of errornous decisions and stay restless.

The only people who will benefit from this torture are those who have already made their decisions ahead of time and are sticking to it because they understand history and also those who invest and walk away because their are more fun things for them to do in life than crypto.

I'll post an individual image for the 6 main things I listed.

When the market pumps or dumps, the first question I ask myself is:

1. Is the weekly volume Twice As Tall? Meaning: Does it touch the 20 SMA blue volume line?
Secondly, I ask
2. Did the Volume VSA print a yellow or red?
Thirdly, I ask
3. Is the grey line of Double Relative Strength Index at the bottom?

Then, the remaining two questions are

4. Where in The Wall of Jericho and China did it touch and hence, which setup did it produce?
5. Did at least, Volume Spike 1.2 hit? Did it touch the orange line above?

When all these things are yes, I finally check my USDT dominance chart, that is, if I haven't checked it already before the analysis.

The above are my default routine checks on 1 week timeframe, then I'll consider my other bonus 8-10 checks just for extra confidence and confluence.

The moment 90% and above on the list says yes, I sell my kidney and buy with ZERO PERCENT fear. Even if it tried to go lower, I don't panic — it's part of the fakeout game they play and they'll attempt it 3 times just to scare weak hands.

For someone like me who already knows it's fakeout moves and still have backups to buy more, I'll be wishing for it to truly go WAY lower, but it never does except the usual 5-7k lower (fakeout) it likes to do. This has always been the story since the inception of BTC.

The above is exactly how I think when No-DJ or A+ Setups present themselves.

We've had 3 A+ Setups from 2023 to 2025.

Some billionaires and institutions save money for only No-DJ and A+ Setups, but the normal retail is jumping on every setups. How can you outsmart them? Never.

They buy low and sell higher, but you buy higher and await to sell higher. Sometimes, it'll work for you, but most times, it won't. You'll bleed as usual and scream "manipulation."

So you no want make smart people wey buy at A+ take profit?

3 years, A & A+ traders only took 3-6 trades. Can you imagine the discipline? Boring, right?

Fund managers sit in silence as a risk management expert explains optimal portfolio allocation.

"Never more than 2% in any position," he insists.

From the back, a quiet voice:

“What if you’re right?”

The room turns. It’s BNF—making a rare public appearance.

The expert smiles condescendingly.
"That’s gambling, not investing."

BNF stands.

“I put 40% of my capital in JCOM—one trade. Was that gambling? Or was that certainty, based on mathematical deviation and sector analysis?
Diversification assumes you don’t know what will happen.
But what if you do?

What if, for brief moments, the market becomes predictable? Should you still diversify then?”

He leaves before anyone can respond.

The room remains silent long after,
each trader questioning everything they’d been taught.

Stanley Druckenmiller, who famously bet huge on the British pound with Soros, validated this approach in 2024:

“The best trades of my life were when I sized up dramatically. Not because I was gambling—but because the opportunity was so clear that not betting big would’ve been the real risk.”

Here’s something hilarious:

When I told my risk-averse friend about BNF’s concentration, he nearly fainted.

“That’s insane,” he said—while checking his 47 different mutual funds that have underperformed the market for a decade.

Sometimes, the real risk is playing it too safe.

This principle separated winners from losers in 2025’s meme stock resurgence.

While responsible traders put 2% into obvious setups, BNF's disciples bet big—and made life-changing money.

One trader turned $50,000 into $2 million on a single biotech deviation play—using 80% of his capital.

Reckless?
Or recognition of rare certainty?

The market offers two types of opportunities:

Probable
Inevitable

Most traders can’t tell the difference, so they diversify. BNF could—so he didn’t.

The question isn't whether to concentrate. It's whether you've earned the right to.

When was the last time you were absolutely certain about a trade?

Did you bet accordingly—or did you let fear, disguised as risk management, limit your potential?

As you begin to recognize those moments of clarity, you’ll find confidence replacing hesitation.

And when that happens, you’ll understand why the greats never settled for small positions in big opportunities.

RIP, Diogo Mara-Jota.

Sad ending and we wish your family strength to bear this loss.

Smithwilliams826:
Look at this boy, coming out to confess without been mentioned.

And the guy is so scared to knack that his reply I didn't read 28 likes in 3 minutes or at least 10, as he usually does.

Wait o, na this brain Nigerians dey take scam oyibo so? They don't even know how to conceal. Oyibo mumu sha.

If it was Tesla he drove, the media would've forgotten about his death and focus only on how Telsa is bad and how everyone should avoid it.

Lamborghini didn't appear in the title of the post, but if it was a Tesla, the title would be Another Tesla Claims the Life of a Legend Beyond Recognition.

Every Western media will use that title just to scare you from Tesla. Who's promoting that? Oil oligarchs/moguls. They feel Tesla is destroying their business.

These are the people that sponsor war so they can sell fuel to the government for their drones, jets, and heavy duty machineries.

I didn't even bother reading what he said, but I'm 100% sure it's fear. Tinubu's final hope is INEC chairman, Wike and his gang of judges.

I'm not supporting any group because they're all the same.

When we enter new price discovery, I'll not go against the trend. There is a guy ETH will liquidate his millions at $2,830, but currently at $2,634.

jayce232:
You are an asset to this thread!
But unfortunately the kind of information u share here many would never appreciate it until later years. Continue doing your thing, some of us really appreciate the knowledge u & gracéglory share on this thread. You guys are selfless.

It's all good. #Onelove.

Market makers and institutions hate retails that use volume to monitor them.

Look at how low weekly and monthly volumes are compared to the past.

Bearish divergence, but that doesn't mean a new ATH may not happen. Even if it happens, it won't hold for long before it falls.

Your god fired the first shot, I merely responded in kind

Yes, with two lines like this, I'll read and reply.

Have you drank beer today?
Why do you sleep here? An industry you don't like.

Robnectar:
When did u become d mouth piece of the people


So is ilege.ndd u are hating today

The guy has more than 50 accounts. After making a comment, he uses all his accounts to like his post to give the impression people agree with what he said. There is one above he gave himself 28 likes in 3 minutes. I just start to dey laugh.

I didn't read his reply, anyway. The fact he reads mine is more than enough for me.

I didn't watch this video, but I like the title.

If an old man like this understands your pension is gone and AI + Crypto has taken over, I wonder why a young guy on this thread usually promotes working in a brewery company and when you retire, you get your pension (Naira that must've lost more value by then) and finally live like a billionaire.

Stuck in old ways. Investing in agriculture is way better than doing what will lead you to pension.

From GPT.

The power of trading less is one of the most echoed themes among the best traders in history. It centers around selectivity, patience, and discipline—waiting for the highest probability setups and avoiding overtrading. Here's a powerful distilled tip from the best trading books and minds who lived by this principle:

🔥 “The money is made by sitting, not trading.” — Jesse Livermore

(From Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre)

Best Tip: The big money isn’t in the buying or selling, but in the waiting.

Livermore emphasized that most traders fail not because they don’t know when to enter, but because they lack the patience to wait—both before entering (for the perfect setup) and after entering (to let a trade mature).
He traded less but with conviction. He waited days, even weeks, for a setup he had complete confidence in. Then he acted decisively.

Bonus Nuggets from Other Greats:

Mark Minervini (Trade Like a Stock Market Wizard):

“Trade less, but trade better setups. Focus on A+ trades with proper risk-reward.”

William Eckhardt (Turtle Trader co-creator):

“The desire for constant action irrespective of underlying conditions is responsible for many losses in Wall Street.”

Jack Schwager (Market Wizards series):

Many of the best traders interviewed said they only take a few high-conviction trades a year, but they’re selective and size up properly.

Peter Brandt (Diary of a Professional Commodity Trader):

“You don’t need to be in the market all the time. You need to be in when the odds are stacked in your favor.”


⚔️ Ultimate Tip:

Only take the trade that screams at you.
If you’re unsure, it’s a no. If you hesitate, it’s not time.
Think like a sniper, not a machine gunner.

LincolnOnyeabor:
On the average, how long does a swing trade last for you sir??

Not all trades are swings, but the lowest is swing.

1. Investment
2. Position
3. Swing
4. Gamble

An investment is always 2 years an half and that is buying in November, December, January of bear market (just like 2022). Always a No-DJ setup when BTC was at 15.6k.

Position is mostly 2 months and half to 6-9 months, depending on the season. Mostly an A or A+ setup. (Just like when BTC dumped to 49k or 74k this year.

Swing is 2 weeks and half or 2 months and half. Mostly a B or B+ setup, which we did last week when BTC fell to 98k.

Gamble is 2 days and half and you're out. Why? It's mostly a C+, C or D+ setup. It's more like buying high and selling higher, but e fit purge you. It's only No-DJ, A+, and A that doesn't purge.

Though, A+ and A can purge if black swan happens just like in 2020, but it rarely does.

I have given you an overdose of what you asked.

Oh, I meant what's the Ema length (ie 50, 100, 200 etc) and the time frame (ie 1hr, 1 day, 1week etc) or do you use a specific indicator as shown on the chart? In order to achieve the A or A+ set-up

If you want your screen to look like mine, no problem. The only issues is, I no longer like sharing such info because last time I did, someone used an indicator I recommended and instead of thank you, he came back to talk about how it doesn't work, blah blah blah.

Something I already told him I use it only on BTC high timeframe, but he used it on other coins low time frame and came back the cry. That incident got on my nerves, hence I no longer feel comfortable sharing what I use.

Promise me not to be like that guy.

Below is the indicator and my settings.
I changed only one thing and that is 89 to 135.

Also, in style section, I deselected 3 things, the Heiken Ashi candle and the two below it.

I only use it on 1 week TF. With this, you no longer need to add another 50 SMA.

Still works on 1 day TF (change 135 to 123), but 1 wk is my go-to.

10billionDollar:
This will further skyrocket the cost of living in rural and urban areas.
For instance since there's a ban on sachet water, low income earners will be forced to pay more to buy bigger plastic bottle water

I want the cost to things to be high and the environment clean and safe than the way it's in India where the cost of things are cheap, but environment dirty.

I want bags, no matter how small it is, to cost 2k and above so that we'll be forced to reuse and not dispose them easily like sachet water.

Poor people that love having too many children will begin to rethink their lives and know that 4 children is enough.

People will walk around with their expensive refillable bottle water and won't dispose it easy. Indirectly, it'll benefit the environment and our health.

Have you ever walked on the street and see money littered around and no one is picking them like in Venezuela? No.

Then, why do Nigeria litter dirt everywhere and always throwing things out of the windows of their vehicles?

Those bags should to be durable and expensive to the point big men can't dispose theirs let alone poor men.

I pray Lagos pulls through this, but I know they won't — it's initial gragra based on Nigerian standard.

Talking about low income earners, go and check how many children or side chicks most of them have and you'll know they don't pity themselves in the first place. Some of them are even training women in school.

Rain sweet rain. Going back to sleep.

Hi, please what's the period number you used for the EMA and the time period?
This set good,

Rephrase your question and be more specific as if I'm a 7 year old.

LincolnOnyeabor:
Slowly transitioning to swing trading even in Forex.

Most especially on Deriv.

Swings on Deriv, once you get the structure and liquidity right, na smooth sailing.

Well Deriv can be wiiillld shaaa

You'll only understand the power of swing after you've been burnt by manipulation of day-trading. Also, scalping and day-trading teach you how to be impatient.

I have been there. There is money in it when you get it right, but what about how it's indirectly teaching us impatience? This is one thing people don't realise about scalping.

Big money loves patient people while small money loves impatient people. I guess that's why Buffett is the greatest investor.

I like your gradual switch.

They don't always buy A or A+ setup in red, but love to buy B setup in green.

BTC is easy if you use only 1 week TF for your swing trade entry and stay patient until things materialize, but no, a Nigerian doesn't have that patience.

We and Indians are the most impatient people in the world and one day, we'll wake and realize 99% of our citizens are in abject poverty because of lack of patience. Please, don't be among them. Learn the Art of Patience.

I'm among the few people in crypto with peace of mind. I have unfollowed all crypto YouTube channels except Ben Cowen and Steven. I don't keep up with any macro reports anymore except ending of QT, which Ben will update me and even if he doesn't, the chart doesn't lie — it'll reflect.

If you're a beginner, don't follow this minimalist route yet, you need to be drowned first in your first 2-5 years with information overload, then finally crawl out of it to have peace of mind.

You'll thank me later.

List of people who are allowed to do whatever they want and go scot-free

1. Isreal — America will support them
2. Fulani — the government of Nigeria will support them
3. Wizkid, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift — Their fans will support it
4. Nigerian pastors, the one with private jets.
5. Trump
6. Boko Haram
7. America, China, and Russia
8. Kpaing anyone in the name that they blasphemed Mohammed without evidence.


These are the only sets people who can do whatever they want and go scot-free.

Having strict rules and a boring strategy is all you need to make it in crypto. My 108.2k short position is in good profit, but I can't sell. Why? Against my rule. I'd rather lose the money and my capital than to go against my rules ever again.

Keeping my rule is my most important win, not the money, which I consider a bonus or even vanity (if I want to sound religious) in the end.
