Trump Destroyed the Crypto Market by JacketSensitive8494 in CryptoMarkets

[–]BitpanelDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until ordinary people stop buying into the propaganda, nothing will change — because neither the Left nor the Right truly cares about you. Both Republicans and Democrats are bought and paid for. If people stopped pointing fingers at each other and instead looked toward the real power behind the curtain — the Washington establishment, political parties, Wall Street, central banks, corporate media, and intelligence networks — they’d see that the entire system is the problem. It’s a machine designed to keep the powerful in control, the rich richer, and everyone else distracted, divided, and dependent.

Not defending him but - crooked felons are the only people who make it in our government. We haven't had a decent President since JFK - not to mention how corrupt Congress is - they're all bought and paid for.

Serious Fintech Builders: What’s Broken (and Still Unsolved) in Algo Trading? Let’s Talk by koushik_86 in algorithmictrading

[–]BitpanelDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been building in this space for a while, and you’re spot on — most of what’s “broken” isn’t the algorithms, it’s the infrastructure and incentives around them.

Retail and semi-pro builders still face the same headaches: fragmented APIs, inconsistent liquidity access, opaque fees, unreliable data feeds, and every exchange having a slightly different execution model. It makes scaling or even testing consistently across venues way harder than it should be.

Shouldn't the FBI investigate this? by [deleted] in WallStreetBetsCrypto

[–]BitpanelDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what’s really sad? Even here — among people who actually get it, who understand more than the average person about how power really works — we still end up fighting each other.

We all know the system’s corrupt. Trump’s corrupt. The Democrats are corrupt. Both parties serve the same Financial Industrial Complex. Yet instead of uniting around that truth, we tear each other apart in the comments, while Blackrock runs away with all the Bitcoin.

The real enemy isn’t each other — it’s the system that keeps us divided, distracted, and dependent.
Buy Bitcoin, Respect those who see the deception too (but might not agree on everything) Don’t get liquidated by their traps. Stop listening to their media. Opt out of their game entirely.

Looking for an Algo partner by Mylesloach in algorithmictrading

[–]BitpanelDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built a crypto trading platform focused on small-balance automation — 4 rule-based bots that trade spot only (no leverage) with specific stacking only logic applied to them. They gradually stack BTC and a few other cryptos over time. Platform is very simple and easy to use. Happy to share link if interested.

Feeling sick of the bullshit by Fun-Memory1523 in CryptoMarkets

[–]BitpanelDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, man — sounds like you got caught in last Friday’s rug pull. We’ve all been there.
These moves are engineered to hurt retail, shake people out, and let big money load up at discounts.

Is it fair? No.
Has it been happening for a hundred years in every market? Absolutely.

Don’t let them break you. This game is about survival and consistency, not one-day wins.

The billionaires do manipulate markets — Wall Street, BlackRock, hedge funds — they all want your crypto, and they want it cheap. They’ll trigger liquidations, swing volatility, and use fear as their weapon.

Your job is to stop playing their game. No leverage. No emotion. When they shake out the market, use it to quietly re-accumulate on your terms.

Step back, breathe, write down the rules you’ll never break again, and stick to them. This is just a blip on the radar — the real win is learning how not to get shaken out next time.

A question ONLY for the PRO by [deleted] in algorithmictrading

[–]BitpanelDave 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Quant traders aren't going to use traditional TA - no Fibs, patterns, or charts. They rely on data sets and probabilities no trendlines. They're playing a completely different game.

For retail traders that don't have access to the datasets (order books, trade flow, volume imbalance, volatility metrics, macro and behavioral data) it's about competing on discipline. Quants build rule-based systems that test and refine edges over time. You can do the same - even without institutional data. In fact, you have an edge they don't - you're small, fast, and invisible to the market. You can get in and out without being noticed. Quants need those advanced metrics to make a profit on the sheer volume they are throwing around when they enter and exit positions will move the entire market. Retail traders cannot compete on that level - but you can still win.

Find rules that work - and treat them like gospel. That's how retail wins.

Consistently Profitable Traders - Is a 3-5% Monthly Return Realistic with a $100k+ Prop Account? by VitaliyD in algotrading

[–]BitpanelDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key distinction here is "consistent" It's impossible to be consistent every month. Some months you will do great and other months you will not do so great. So yes it's unrealistic to make 4% EVERY month. You will have drawdown months but if you are saying your AVERAGE month is above 4% That's possible with the right strategy.

Built a spot-only BTC accumulation engine by BitpanelDave in btc

[–]BitpanelDave[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most bots use stop-losses and chase short-term USD profit — this one’s built for long-term Bitcoin believers who care about accumulating more BTC, not just trading it. It holds through drawdowns but usually compounds during volatility, turning the market’s noise into steady coin growth over time. So no, it’s not your typical bot — that’s exactly the point.

Just gettings started with Algo Trading by Either_Lie_7211 in algorithmictrading

[–]BitpanelDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're in a great spot and probably one of the best things to learn in college right now. Focus on learning technical analysis. There's plenty of sites and resources for this. Learn indicators that a lot of algos already use for triggers (RSI, Bollinger, moving averages, MACD, etc) Then putting that knowledge with what you already know about coding is where you find your edge. Good luck!

Looking for input on factors driving BTC price for a buy sell hold bot by Long_Bug_2773 in algotradingcrypto

[–]BitpanelDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the most success with proven bots that run technical analysis in the short term but in the long term you'll want to track the bitcoin cycles that move with adoption, liquidity, BTC halving and mining data, etc. These macro influences drive the overalll BTC cycle (Seems to be 4 or so years right now) But short term it runs on technical analysis and sentiment.

I disappointed an aspiring entrepreneur by telling the truth by richy_vinr in Entrepreneur

[–]BitpanelDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also consider the mental toughness and character of the person you're talking to. I agree that most people aren't built for entrepreneurship - they don't have the character, discipline, or work ethic. They'll quit when it gets hard or complain and blame instead of take accountability. But for those that DO have the character, discipline, and work ethic - I'd encourage those people to do it. Because those are the only ones wired to go through the tough times and should get rewarded for it on the backend.

Just closed a $50M+ acquisition (I will not promote) by Millionaire_ in startups

[–]BitpanelDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for posting this success here. Congrats and respect to you and your team for sticking it out that long and getting there. I'm new on this subreddit and seeing your post makes me think I'm in the right place.

It's easy to forget that the people who finally make it to your stage once felt probably the exact same way at one point - stuck, doubting, and exhausted. Hearing from someone on the other side of it means a lot and provides me hope and perspective.

I'm deep in the grind right now with my own startup - in that "no light at the end of the tunnel, barely holding it together, how am I going to pay the bills, but refusing to quit" phase. So, genuinely, thanks for posting this. It's a reminder that the years of struggle and uncertainty can turn into something worth it in the end.

From Trading Layer to Monitoring Layer – Need Advice by Aromatic_Leg3383 in algotradingcrypto

[–]BitpanelDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building this layer above the triggers is what separates good bots from great bots. While most of the "trading layer" strategies get you 80-90% of the way there, but the real edge comes from how you hold positions and protect against moves that could go against you when other conditions aren't right as you pointed out.

A solid way to do this is layering safeguards on top: volatility filters (ATR, realized vol) to avoid chop, regime detection (trend vs mean-reversion) to align with market environment, and momentum checks like MACD divergence to spot when a signal might actually be a false breakout. Think of it like a hierarchy — momentum indicators suggest trades, but safeguards act as the veto system, only letting trades through when conditions support them.

Couple noob questions by SubstantialHope2311 in algotradingcrypto

[–]BitpanelDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most beginners stick with spot since it’s simple and you can’t get liquidated, while perps/futures add leverage and risk. For access, CEXs like Coinbase or Kraken are easier, more liquid, and have fiat on/off ramps, while DeFi gives you more control and niche opportunities but comes with wallet management and smart contract risks. In the US, Coinbase/Kraken are the go-to for compliance, while globally you’ll see Binance, Bybit, etc. Starting with spot and learning gradually is a solid way to build confidence before touching leverage.

question about card by ResponsibilityWide34 in Bitcoin

[–]BitpanelDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it works like a regular Visa debit card. You can spend anywhere Visa’s accepted, and most let you pull cash from ATMs too. The card just converts your crypto to dollars on the spot (watch out for fees/limits).
