Finally my first Steemit post!

Hi everyone! My name is Aaron and I'm a 19 year old living in Arizona. I'm still trying to find my way in life but knew from an early age that the markets and making money off your money intrigued me. I love charting and researching future opportunities that can benefit us all. I'm excited for the entire steemit community as this platform is revolutionizing the way we share content.

The first time I really knew about bitcoin was in May of 2016 when bitcoin was around $600.

Around March of 2017 when bitcoin was $900-$1,200, I really started to focus on bitcoin and altcoin trading. Keep in mind the word "trading" Which I really regret overdoing and not holding onto my coins for the long run. I was literally finding & buying most altcoins near the bottom but I made the CRUCIAL mistake of not holding onto those golden ticket coins for the long-term and over trading them which was the WORST decisions I've ever made. I wasted so much time and energy by over-watching the markets and relying on short-term gains rather than investing for the long-term and my future self's benefit.

This was a really bad experience but offered me a very valuable lesson about short-term and long-term gains, which I will forever acknowledge as I plan to do it differently in the future. Next time around I'm going to accumulate little by little and allocate the right percentages in the right places so I have a more diverse portfolio and maintain a safer approach compared to going all in or using ridiculous amounts so I couldn't can't buy anything else.

I made a decent amount of money trading but it was nowhere near the amount it could have been. Investing and accumulating multiple coins at the right prices is key. So that's one my most valuable lessons I've learned during 2017.

Now it's time to share my favorite ideas on tradingview which I now will share on Steemit for the entire community to benefit from. Press the play button when you open the chart on tradingview.

I found out that my bad ideas mostly stemmed from looking at and the lower time-frames like the 1Hr and below or just not doing enough research on the coin. For now on the lowest timeframe I will use on ideas will be the 4 hour chart.

About me & real life pictures

I'm mainly interested in charting and learning more about the ever evolving technology scene as it's constantly changing and seems like there's always something new to learn. I also enjoy photography and hiking since it feels great to be one with nature.

I never expected to find little fibonacci nautilus shells while hiking near my house in McDowell mountain ranch but I did and took a cool picture of it.

Little family photo of my Grandpa, Mom and me.

Throw back to when I use to ride motocross along with a Justin Bieber haircut xD.

Labs are the best :)

Thanks for your time. Follow me @aaronx. I'm looking forward to building new friendships and relations. Have an awesome day!
