ICYMI: The Trade Travel Chill Weekly Recap

Even though it felt like we nearly crashed the plane this week 📉🛬😱, the Cabin Crew and the TBD system guided us through the dramatic drop, and now we’re back on an upward trajectory. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s TTC recap!

Flipped my long term futures thanks to Annii’s August vid. Phew 😮‍💨

Captain’s Log ✍

It’s been a hugely prolific week of content creation from Annii! Let’s make sure nothing slipped by us.

First up, don’t miss her latest video on Bitcoin & XRP News. Are we finally headed for the ATH or is this a dead cat bounce?
In last Sunday’s update, Stop Buying the Crypto Dip, Annii warned against buying altcoins right now — and boy did the crypto bros get mad in the comments section! But just hours later, the market crashed 20%, and suddenly, those commenters went suspiciously quiet… 🤔
A few days later, her “Linda Trade” short hit her targets perfectly.

Closed it.

— Annii

Mid-week, Annii recapped the dramatic price action, and gave us a glimpse of what to expect as the dust settles and the market reacts to global events.
She also Spilled the Tea on Trading Profits, sharing a candid recap of the trades she took over the last two months, leading to an impressive 85.5% account growth.
A little social media controversy on the difference between futures and perps inspired Annii’s follow-up blog post, Spilling the Tea on Funding Fees.
This tied in beautifully with her exclusive video for Capital Club members on Using Leverage to Hedge Against Spot DCA When the Price Drops.
Annii also updated Capital Club members on her recent DCA buys.
And for those intrigued by trading psychology and its application to coin margin futures, Annii shared valuable insights here as well.

Wow, what a week! I hope you get to chill this weekend, Annii.

Annii’s latest members’ blog about trading less to make more is something I cannot agree more with. I’ve been following TTC for a couple of years and a member for several months, but finally wrangled those emotions she talks about. If you follow and trust the macro trend, you can have weeks like this…

Ultimate Trade Challenge 🥊

I want everyone to understand how clever this challenge is and how it will challenge you to trade different strategies for different time frames and different types of trades.

— CajunSpice

The TTC ultimate trading challenge kicked off this week, and I HAVE THOUGHTS!

I think the combination of Annii’s recent tough love and the brilliant challenge design, has really lit a fire under people. The energy and collaboration in the Discord are off the charts, and I think we’re about to see a wave of success stories over the next few months as we all progress.
I’m loving the open-ended format, which lets members join anytime and move at their own pace — perfect for those with limited time or new to the model.
I also appreciate that this challenge is a personal learning journey, emphasising self-reliance and confidence-building. I’ll admit, I’ve been guilty of sometimes leaning too much on the Cabin Crew’s analysis, but the Daily Analysis Challenge alone is already helping me change that.

If you’re not there already, hop into the Trading Challenge channel and join in! And while you’re there, check out Annii’s breakdown of the mechanics of the Pivot Mastery Challenge and why she didn’t recommend we bag flip.

Top Traders 🏆

A massive shout-out to the members that earned the Top Traders badges for July, including @Christopher K and @Fitz. Winners are chosen by top volume earned on exchanges using the TTC referral links. In addition to the rebates these traders earn directly from the exchange, TTC also awards an extra reward to the top 3 traders monthly. Congrats legends!

There’s always going to be something that holds us back from our trades… if a W forms today, and it looks really nice, and you feel confident…then just take it.

✈️ Cabin Crew Reports

Method Deep Dives 🤿

In the hangouts this week:

Cajun covered strategies for the Ultimate Trading Challenge, risk management, and how to identify entry and exits for Linda trades.
Cody explored the 33 Trade, conservative entries and re-entries, the IHOD and ILOD, and why trading Mondays and FMWB is his favourite thing ever!
And Jarrid’s hangout couldn’t have fallen on a more interesting week for macro factors. More on that below!

All hangouts are available in the Live Session Recordings section of the website.

I’ve been taking your lessons updates, CC charts religiously for past few months and this what it rewarded last week and this week have been amazing.

SilverWolf Alpha 🐺

SilverWolf’s offered analysis and reassurance after the brutal market downturn in his latest blog, Is it over or are we back?

I wrote this because I saw people getting anxious. After reading this, I hope you’ll find a bit more peace of mind, as this is simply the nature of the market. It always feels like the end is near, but it’s not.

— SilverWolfBTC

As always, Silver is also on the hunt for fresh altcoin alpha. This week, he treated us to real-time technical analysis on $BNB, $ETH, $BTC, and $WOO, along with detailed breakdowns of the technicals and fundamentals of:

SingularityNET ($AGIX)
APTOS ($APT)
Currency Of The Internet / Trustchain ($COTI)
And the merger of $FET, $OCEAN, and $AGIX to create the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance ($ASI)

Capital Club members can access all SilverWolf’s altcoin summaries in the silverwolfbtc-updates channel, and drop requests for specific coins in coin-suggestions.

🌦️Weather Report

Macro-Econ 📈

If you had told me a year ago that I’d be diving deep into the mechanics of the Yen Carry Trade, I’d have been “Like, what happened? You’ve changed, man.”

But wow, what a dramatic week for macroeconomics. Thankfully, we had our fundamentals expert Jarrid to guide us through it. Catch up on his thoughts about the BOJ drama, misconceptions about the relationship between DXY and BTC, and the chances of an early Fed rate cut from this week’s Macro-Econ Hangout. Then, join the daily discussions in the macro-economic-chat.

The BTC rally since Monday looks to be driven by spot. Spot buyers tend to be longer term investors, so this is a potential signal that price will continue to recover. It suggests investors saw 50k BTC as a good price to increase their position size, adding confluence that there is more bull market to come.

Financial Astro 🔮

Astro-wise the rest of August looks shaky, so this is the perfect time to harness cosmic energy for growth and transformation. The opening of the Lion’s Gate Portal is a celestial event that begins around 8 August each year, and offers a unique opportunity to set intentions and focus on personal and spiritual goals.

Coach Cat has shared the process she and Annii follow to make the most of this important moment on the astro calendar. And a big thank you to @Romit~BITMAN for reminding us of Annii’s post from a few years ago about how this practice changed her life.

I manifested my entire life. And it started on this day one year ago.

— Annii, 8 August, 2022

TRAVEL

Annii attended the Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris and watched gymnastics and swimming events, all thanks to Bitget. Experience her once-in-a-lifetime adventure in her latest Reels video, and stay tuned for her full blog coming soon on YouTube.

CHILL

It’s Friday — YOU MADE IT! Time to chill. 😎

💖Mindset

Coach Cat’s fortnightly Chill Chat is at 8pm tonight for those on the US east coast (11am Saturday for the east coast Aussies). This week is all about managing the emotional triggers that can negatively impact on our trading decisions, and practical tools to help you achieve a more balanced and focused approach to trading.

In the meantime, catch up on her advice for clearing mind clutter and creating a balanced crypto journey — something we can all benefit from!

You’ve been doing this a long time. I believe in you, just trust yourself. Maybe that could be your thing… that’s your challenge for yourself.
