Building Your Network
Success in trading isn't a solo sport. Building and leveraging a strong network provides significant edge:
Quality Circle Development
Connect with a select few skilled researchers with complementary strengths
If you are in the private groups, these folks often have admin labels
Still, make sure to research their plays for yourself, avoid aping blindly.
Use our private channels for real-time sharing
Develop trust through consistent value exchange
Share verification tasks during fast-moving opportunities
e.g. one person can evaluate X, another looks at distribution, another evaluates the GH repo.
You should still evaluate these for yourself afterwards
Trenching is work, it's hard to passively hunt. Set aside time blocks and be serious about it.
