🧵 About Me & My Journey Everything I write here comes from a place of truth from what I’m thinking right now, what I’ve been through, and what I continue to learn along the way. I share my trading ideas not to prove anything, but to express what’s real in that moment. Not all of them, just the ones that carry meaning. I’ve never been the type to chase attention or build a big audience. That’s not why I’m here. I’m here to clear my mind, to understand myself better, and maybe help a few people who walk a similar path. My life has always been about staying humble healing my own wounds in silence and celebrating my victories in peace. After trading successfully in the crypto market, I realized that speaking my thoughts out loud helps me grow. It brings clarity. And if someone can learn from that, then it’s worth it. People ask, “Why not go bigger? Why not aim for more?” But that’s not my purpose. I’m not here to become famous or to build a name that echoes. I’m here to connect to exchange thoughts with other traders who think deeply, who understand both the silence and the chaos that come with this journey. And to help people trade better. I can’t really talk about these things with the people around me not with family, not with friends. So I’m here, in this space, to share, to listen, and to grow. Yes, I do have a private group but I keep it small. I ask questions before I let anyone in. There are barriers for a reason. I value mindset, respect, and hard work. I don’t want people who join just to follow signals. I want those who truly want to learn and grow into real traders themselves. It’s not about numbers. It’s about energy. I don’t need noise to feel seen. I just need honesty. That’s enough for me. My Story I started in crypto when I was 14. Back then, it wasn’t that serious I was just curious and wanted to understand it. People around me called it gambling, or said it was just scammers trying to sell paid groups even though they couldn’t really trade. So my first year was all about learning just gaining knowledge and understanding how this space worked. When I turned 15, I started exploring leverage trading. I watched countless YouTube videos, studied different strategies, and tried to apply them on the charts. But like most beginners, I learned the hard way. I traded with $200 and lost it all. At around early 16 years old, I met a guy who changed everything. He believed in me and decided to help. He gave me $300 to trade with. I lost $200 almost immediately the same mistakes, the same mindset. But when I was left with that last $100. This guy helped me with my mindset and from there everything shifted. I cleared my mind completely. I stopped rushing, stopped forcing trades, and locked in mentally like never before. That $100 became my test my focus, my discipline, my turning point. I started trading with patience and structure. I took it seriously, with full control over my emotions. And slowly, that $100 began to grow. By the time that iam almost 19, that same $100 had turned into six figures. It wasn’t luck it was mindset. The losses, the frustration, the isolation all of it built me into who I am now. Along the way, I studied everything I could tools, market structure, ICT concepts, price action etc. I spent long nights behind the charts, sometimes in silence, sometimes in doubt but always in motion. When I joined X around that time, I was inspired. I saw traders who looked like they had it all figured out posting massive wins, perfect charts, confidence everywhere. But over time, I realized many were just chasing clout. Some couldn’t really trade, some only acted like they could. Still, I didn’t judge I just stayed focused on my own growth. That’s when I truly learned what separates real traders from the rest: discipline, patience, and self awareness. Since then, I’ve grown not just as a trader, but as a person. My story isn’t about quick wins or lucky moments it’s about growth through struggle, clarity through failure, and finding peace through purpose. That’s who I am. That’s how I got here. And this is my journey.

$BTC invalid plan why? liquidity below taken out aggressive. front running a lot of people's poi zone. now think how do we get front runned because everyone was eyeing the sweep of the high. that's why the strong hands front running it. pretty much expected. if the scenario played out and it swept the high it could just fake the sfp and take it one more time stopping out all the shorters. and then dump it making a 3 tap scenario what made it a HPS setup. Got frontrunned? Don't be mad search why u got frontrunned. this happens a lot of the time and u just gotta accept it.

$BERT is there any Bert believers still thinking it goes to 1$? sold perfectly at the top.
$BERT Clear Wyckoff distribution in play. Guys don’t believe everything you see on X. People shouting $1? Sure, it could, but the structure tells the real story. After seeing this schematic, a hard dump is likely. The only way this stays safe? A real accumulation phase until then, caution is the strongest weapon.

$ASTER Looks ready to go down again?

$ZEC Pre-planning for the next move we’re very likely forming a PO3 schematic, and that’s one of my favorite scenarios to short. This setup fits perfectly with my style and risk management. People will probably call it crazy to short $ZEC, saying “it’s going to $10,000, it’s the next $BTC!” but that kind of sentiment is exactly what I like to see before taking a short. When everyone is overly bullish and narrative driven, that’s usually where the best setups form. I’ll stay patient and wait for my confirmations. If the PO3 schematic completes cleanly and structure aligns, I’ll execute the short with precision

🔍Why My Caption Says “Rōnin” Many asked why I chose the word rōnin. A rōnin is a samurai without a master. No teacher. No orders. No hand to rely on. He learns by observing, by studying enemies, by surviving every mistake. And that’s exactly what I did. I had no mentor, no paid signals, no group to hold my hand. I observed different traders in silence. Took what worked, ignored what didn’t, and forged it into my own blade. I implemented pieces of their strategies into mine until I created the perfect wizard soup a strategy built from experience, losses, and thousands of hours of study. Not copied. Not bought. Constructed. That’s why I chose Rōnin. Self-made. Self-forged. Dangerous because nobody can take credit for my skill. So if you study alone, struggle alone, and build quietly… You’re not lost. You’re becoming a rōnin.

$ICP Same idea as $FIL I still don’t think this move is over yet. If we get a setup like this, I’m definitely taking the trade, looking for it to hit double digits. We’ve got a good RTZ and a clean range forming right now, so my plan is to trade the second deviation / SFP once it confirms.

$FIL Spot bag finally in profit but I still don’t think this move for FIL is over yet. I’ve got a strong feeling it could make another 50% run soon. If we get our LTF setup and the RTZ stays clean, I’m definitely taking the trade. Like always, make sure to stack your confluences structure, liquidity, volume, timing everything that adds confidence to your idea. Wait for your confirmations before entering patience and precision always pay off.

🥋 The Samurai Foundation for Swing Trading BTC (Longs & Shorts) For swing trading, I use the same core idea as my scalping setup, but I apply it slightly differently. You’ll notice I often catch the bottoms and tops of BTC’s bigger ranges and that’s because BTC spends most of its time ranging, not trending. My approach takes advantage of that. When BTC makes a new all-time high (ATH), shorting it often plays out well. Go back in time and study it you’ll see this pattern repeat. For me, when a new range or ATH sweep happens, it becomes a short setup using my low-timeframe (LTF) structure to confirm the entry. If you’ve seen my tweets, you’ll know my LTF setups are scalps tight stops, precise entries. But here’s the key: I can let those same scalp entries run as swing trades, which means the risk-to-reward (RR) can explode, often hitting 20R+. Catching the bottom of a move, however, is much harder. When price moves aggressively downward, it can go even deeper because there isn’t always clear liquidity below. That’s why patience and context matter. You need to wait for a clean 15-minute range setup, align it with pivot points, and apply critical thinking before taking a long from the bottom. Longing the bottom requires precision and confidence in your read of structure and liquidity. Yes, I’ve nailed many bottoms, but that’s because I’ve mastered this setup through experience and refined it into my own style. You should do the same take this foundation, adapt it to your personality, and mix it with your own trading approach.

📜 I Am Here to Empty the Scroll I am here to dump every piece of knowledge I’ve earned. Not half. Not pieces. All of it. The personal questions, the deep explanations, the full answers those are given inside the Private Dojo. Everything I post on the timeline carries intention. Nothing is random. Every chart, every sentence, every hint has a purpose. Some will understand. Some will overlook it. That’s fine. I don’t chase students. The ones who are ready always find the door.

👁️ The eye that cries are the eye’s that see. Tears and smiles come from the same eyes. Pain and happiness live in the same heart. Fear and courage walk the same road. Mistakes and lessons share the same story. Endings and beginnings are written on the same page. Loss and growth often wear the same face. Trading is built on the same paradox. The same chart that breaks your spirit is the chart that teaches you discipline. The loss that feels like a death sentence becomes the lesson that saves your future. The red candles that crush you are the reason green ones ever matter. You can’t learn patience without waiting. You can’t learn control without chaos. You can’t learn composure without pressure. And you can’t learn mastery without failure. Many try to avoid the pain, but the pain is the teacher. Every drawdown shapes your mindset, every loser sharpens your edge, every setback carves out a stronger mentality. Don’t curse the storm it’s shaping the trader you’re becoming. A sword is never forged in calm weather. A warrior is never built in comfort. And just like life, when the night feels endless the morning always comes back brighter. The market doesn’t only test your money it tests your character.

⽞ The Samurai Foundation of My BTC Scalping Setup This is the core foundation of my scalp setup. It’s not a signal or an entry rule by itself. it’s the base structure I look for before even considering a trade. Only after confluences line up, like liquidity buildup, timing, and overall market context, do I execute. These setups are rare you might only see one to three high quality setups per week, but when they appear, they’re worth waiting for. The main idea is to trade around the edges of a range using deviations and liquidity behavior as confirmation. For longs, I watch for a first deviation below the range low. Before entering, I want to see a clear liquidity buildup below the range and an aggressive take profit structure, meaning there’s a clean bounce potential. Most of the time, the second tap (the second time price sweeps that low) doesn’t give a full move back to the range high, but for a scalp, it’s still a solid opportunity. The goal is to take profits quickly this is not a swing setup. For shorts, I personally never take the first deviation above the range high. I prefer to wait for the second deviation, where price sweeps the range high again, takes liquidity, and momentum begins to shift. That’s usually where you can catch a clean move back toward the range low and secure your first take profit, making solid returns. The key is patience and precision. Like a samurai, you wait for the perfect moment you don’t swing at every move. You strike only when structure, confluence, and liquidity align perfectly. If you can discipline yourself to follow this structure, you’ll trade less but trade better setups, avoid noise, and focus on the highest probability scalp opportunities. These setups don’t appear every day, but when they do, you strike cleanly and step away. (Add confluences with this like fib bottom formation supply demand etc.)

🌀The Fibonacci Discipline Most traders slap Fibs on a chart and pray. A samurai uses them with intention, because Fibonacci is not prediction it’s structure, probability, and psychology. The Market Does Not Respect You. It respects liquidity. It respects imbalance. It respects where traders break. Fibonacci shows those exact places. 0.5 The First Battle The 50% retracement is the midpoint of strength. When price retraces to 0.5: Retail screams “trend reversal” Smart money watches reaction A samurai waits for proof Because 0.5 is not a price, it’s a test of confidence. If buyers defend: Trend continues It was only a correction If buyers fail: Momentum weakens Trap setups begin forming The lesson: A samurai never takes the first strike. He waits to see who bleeds. 0.618 The Golden Pain Line This level is infamous for one reason: It breaks human psychology. At 0.618: Panic selling begins Stop-losses trigger Weak hands exit Smart money accumulates Most traders think: “It’s over. It’s dumping.” But price is not falling, it’s removing passengers. If you see: absorption wicks volume increasing on the bounce time spent building a base …that’s not weakness. That’s loading. When 0.618 holds, the reversal is violent because the market removes everyone except the disciplined. 0.75 The Last Stand This level separates gamblers from killers. At 0.75: Retail completely loses faith Influencers scream “bearish” People flip shorts at the bottom But a samurai is still calm. Why? Because 0.75 is where the trap is confirmed: If buyers defend 0.75: Shorts get slaughtered Longs re-enter with conviction Liquidations become fuel for upside If 0.75 fails: The trend dies with honor No need for emotion The warrior steps aside There is no guessing. Only observation Fibonacci is not magic. It’s: where fear peaks where greed dies where liquidity hides where the market decides who deserves to win Retail draws Fibonacci as decoration. A samurai uses Fibonacci as a weapon. He doesn’t care about numbers. He cares about what happens at those numbers. Patterns only matter when they break someone.
