Traders,
A few years ago I started this trading/TA service on a whim at the behest of one of my friends. Honestly, I never really imagined anything would become of it. However, I was quite surprised by all of the support and demand for my technical analysis and trade suggestions. Long story short, I had decided then that I would stick it out for a while to see what becomes of it.
We all did well that first year. Many of you were with me back then as you still are today. Then the LUNA collapse happened. Followed by FTX. And SEC lawsuits against many altcoins. One black swan after another and I decided to pause paid subscriptions. I have a full-time job and was not interested in charging my followers for a subscription while we were all already suffering the start of a brutal bear market. So, pause I did. And I continued my little hobby during the midst of it all, attempting to keep you all up to date on the latest macroeconomic data and technical analysis, while also sprinkling in a few trades here and there. I can honestly say, those two years taught me a lot and I believe I have gotten even better at analyzing the charts. I have studied many new indicators and have improved my skills. I feel like starting this thing and persevering through a bear market has benefited me more than anybody. If I quit today, I would remain completely satisfied with all of the skills and knowledge that I have acquired by simply committing myself and continuing through it all.
And this brings me to today. The cost of doing this business to me has mostly been time thus far. But there are other small costs as well, as there always are with any business. Mostly though, I am not interested in committing to the time it takes anymore if there is simply no demand for what I do. And thus, I feel it is time to start back up with my subscription service. Doing so will help me to understand whether I continue this venture or not.
So, here are a few things to know before I “unpause” paid subscriptions:
The start date will be one week from the time of this published post, April 18th, 2024. I will continue to remind you all of this restart date on every post from now until then.
If you are a previously paid subscriber, your subscription was paused mid-term. Whatever time you had left then, you will have now. For example, if you had paid for a month when the service was paused and had 11 days left, you will now also have 11 days left of paid service beginning on April 18th. If you had paid for one year and had, say, 179 days left, you will have 179 days left from the unpause date of April 18th.
Services will start the same. While I will continue to offer some technical analysis, a few freebee trades, and consistent weekly updates for free, most of my trade entries will once again only be seen by paying subscribers. In the future, I plan to expand my services should I continue doing this. I do plan to add educational videos, copy-trading, and other automated trades/alerts, stock entries, short entries, one-on-one sessions, hidden gems, etc. for my subscribers. For now, though, we will simply continue where we left off, trading long-only, non-leveraged, crypto, and hopefully, you all find benefit here to start.
In regards to Telegram, I have two channels; one of them is free, and one of them is for my paid subs. My paid-subs telegram channel is often pretty active with chat and I frequent the channel myself in discussions. We all learn from each other. However, due to the difficulty of managing members here, I am considering moving my paid-subs chat over to Substack. More news on this will come in the future. The free channel will remain for anyone who wants to join.
Finally, I will add that I do not expect or want any of you to pay for a subscription if you truly don’t find the services I offer of value. For real. My feelings will not be hurt. At all. I look at this whole experience so far as extremely valuable to me as I have already mentioned above. If this all ends today, I am still a winner. Your subscription in the future is only a vote that helps me to determine continued direction. If I don’t get your vote via subscription, I am absolutely okay with that too …much more time for me in the future! If I do get your vote via subscription, I continue doing what I like to do anyway and am encouraged to know that it is also benefiting you all too, which has always been my goal.
With the bull market really just beginning IMO, I am excited to bring as many of you along for the ride as possible. We are just getting started. Truly. And I am ecstatic to see what the future holds for us all!
To the moon!
