Finding Your Edge (Most of You Don't Have One) (Part 2/5)
Today, we start with the first one.
Yesterday I told you the raw truth:
If you don’t have all three skills, edge, risk management, patience, you're not making it out of this cycle rich.
Today, we start with the first one.
Your edge.
And I’m going to say something that might sting:
Most of you don’t have one.
You think you do.
But let’s be real…
What you’re calling “strategy” is just a mixture of:
Guesswork
Hype from Twitter
Coinfluencer posts
Hopium disguised as TA
That’s not an edge.
That’s a recipe for rekt.
Let’s fix that.
What is a Real Edge?
A real edge is something that gives you a repeatable advantage over other market participants.
It’s based on:
Structure
Metrics
Rotation
Data
Liquidity
It tells you why this coin, why now, and how you’ll exit, before you enter.
If you can’t answer those questions in 10 seconds, you’re guessing.
You’re not a trader, you’re just rolling dice in a high-stakes casino.
What Fake Edges Look Like
Let me be blunt:
If your edge is:
“This coin looks bullish”
“I saw it on TikTok”
“Big account posted a moon chart”
“It pumped last week so I think it will again”
Then you have zero edge.
That’s how sheep think.
You’re trading sentiment, not setup.
And the institutions? The killers? They feed off that.
You chase into breakout.
They dump into your bid.
You buy a green candle.
They sell their bags on you.
You’re playing their game, and you’re playing blind.
So How Do You Build a Real Edge?
You need to pick a system, and master it.
Here are 3 types I teach inside the group:
1. Rotation Edge
You don’t chase coins. You anticipate flow based on Bitcoin dominance, ETH/BTC, TOTAL3, and stablecoin data.
You ask:
Is liquidity moving from BTC → ETH → midcaps?
Is stablecoin dominance breaking down?
Are ETH pairs bottoming out?
This is how you rotate early, not late.
2. Metric Edge
You study funding rates, open interest, liquidations, and volume anomalies.
You ask:
Is perp OI spiking while spot volume stays flat?
Is funding negative while price grinds up?
Is retail shorting while MMs quietly long?
This is how you ride real momentum, not FOMO noise.
3. Narrative Edge
You front-run trends with asymmetric setups.
You ask:
What low cap aligns with a rising narrative?
Is there a pre-IDO or token unlock window I can use?
Is there a breakout forming while no one’s watching?
This is how you catch 5-10x plays before the crowd.
Each edge is different.
But here’s the common trait:
🔒 It’s clear.
🔒 It’s repeatable.
🔒 It’s executed with confidence.
No second guessing.
You know your levels. You know your size. You know your plan.
Everything else is just noise.
Most Traders Are Just Tourists
They hop from call to call, coin to coin, narrative to narrative…
And every time they lose, they blame the market.
Not realizing the truth:
They never had an edge to begin with.
But if you’re here reading this, I know you want more.
You don’t want to be another guy who says “should’ve” when this cycle ends.
You want to be the one who says:
“I saw it. I planned it. I nailed it.”
That’s what we’re doing inside my 9-5 Traders Discord.
Real edges. Real plans. Real results.

No more guesswork.
No more sheep plays.
Tomorrow, I’ll show you the second killer skill: Risk Management and why most of you are one position away from ruin.
