can you please tell me what's your process to choose which coin to trade, meaning do you just go to Binance and look at the list and choose at random or there are some criteria?

basically break of 23k resistance.
Coin moved crazy before and volume is good -could go to 30k.

trades like posted:

my trade spurred adrenaline because there were demands to continue to learn and see market trends and read news related to crypto. the price in the market always has a clear dynamic, which is going up and down and we as actors must be able to steal the margins of the activity. the bear market continues until now and losses from the market will not make me afraid to continue trading because I am optimistic that prices will improve and that some of us who survive will have extraordinary profits

yeah well ...iam not at all hodling coins long term. i'm now trying to play the rebound for that iam invested 100% in alts atm.

i need to be carefull though. since i got stopped out at the freaking low for my btc position iam feeling tilt ...
a 0.13btc loss must not happen! just poor trading.

i try to prevent to rationalize my losses with arguments like overall markets are down etc. i could have easily cut my positions yesterday in half, having a wider stop for the rest if i really try to catch a bottom here.

i got to admit..iam just 10months in the crypto sphere and it actually surprised me how much BTC dropped here. basically from 6.5k to 3.5k. its abit scary that this happens with the "main ´most stable asset" in crpytoworld.  

I have lots of alts to which other labelled as shitcoins, to me coins are coins. we almost have same style though i dont always use stop lost simply because there are coins that i know are good to have in the future. Whatever style we choose im sure it fits us so if its working for you then just keep doing it. Its not just crypto market that is having a long bear moment even stocks are having the same trend.

Hi Brawnsugar,

you could not have timed it better with your posting. pretty bad performance by me in the last open trades.

just want to underline here once more..if you copy trades please keep in mind that i dont have a 100% fixed strategy. i sometimes risk more ..sometimes risk less. my opinion can change quickly and i may sell a coin shortly after purchasing it. you can also see that i got some losing streaks.
the reason for that thread here is more egoisitic. => i want to force myself into disciplined trading (which obviouslydidnt work for my friday longs).
what can i assure though is that iam doing honest trades here and i was succesful since i started. but winnings of the past are not meaning that i will be sucessfull in the future too - soo please be carefull!!

Sold 50% XEM at 1745

---

hi all,

BAT got stopped out at night at 3632 for a loss of 3,6% or 0,027 btc

it was pretty stable. it was possible to sell above 3800. but after i went to bed alts dropped alot when BTC was making new lows.

---

long 47.2k Go for 0,00000782 - i really like the reaction from 750 to 910. strong buyers

long 229 GVT for 0,0012062   - seems very stable

i know the trades are some time ago but GO trades 2.5% aboive entry and GVT 2.5% below entry - so i think its ok to let it count...

still playing the rebound scenario which might be a hige mistake.

---

unbelievable...

wanted to sell some of my XBT long at 4k just to realize i got stopped out at fucking 3448. the tradingview didnt print the low on the app so i got surpised by bitmex.

thats a 0.35 btc difference.

i got out of my 7000 $ long XBT at 3448 for a loss of 0,139 btc.

sickening

---

BAT 11,6 k long  3569
some more 12,7k GO long 813

some more 8300 XLM long 3740

I am laughing at the price of Canyacoin CAN

WOW ...i just went on and iam in deep trouble. still in all my positions.
need to managae now.... its tought to sell here.

---

long 7000 $ at 3700 on bitmex. stop 3499

long 2500  NANO  at 2383

---

new stops:

XLM  3599
XEM 1589
BAT 1639
Nano 22990

really screwed up. Thought i could sell manually if btc drops but missed it. playing fully now the scenario rebound because alts are not dumping that hard.
if i will get stopped out i will cash in a nice deserved loss.

I have taken out time to to read your entire thread and must admit you're a complete professional and worthy of emulation. Going through, I noticed I entered some of the trades you posted (though copy trades) and the results were almost the same. I have decided to follow you and have bookmarked this thread for ease of reference. Good job and more power to your elbow!

sold rest XEM at 1779 for an overall loss of 0,6% or 0,005 btc

motivation here is simple. i think btc will go down abit from here and i will try to re-enter below 1720
trades like posted:



i got no position now  - completely out of the market.

---

as usually it all depends -especially on your trading style.

i think in this market -short term trading is the way to go (hours)

I also have an account on poloniex but i did like 5 trades there before i went fully to binance (bitmex i started way later)

i would trade on binance. many coins, good liquidity and low fees which is important in short term trading since it adds up. as a newbie i wouldnt touch shorting which is not possible on binance anyway but on poloniex.
and dont touch coins with low daily volumes (<200 btc). they destroy you in short term trading if you dont have alo9t of experience. and never every fomo into pump n dumps..

---

if btc goes to 4350 i will try to look for alt -longs

---

iam doing it again ....7500 short XRP  at 9553 on bitmex. stop loss 2%.

basically posting lower highs. daily candle yesterday looks like turning point.

the coin is volatile though and the chance to get stopped out high.

screenshort of bitmex chart ...break of trendline as entry

---

details on the limits where i would like to cover shorts.

will also adjust the stop loss quickly to minimize risk while we move down. (preserving capital more important than gains!!)

---

long 15000 BAT for 0,00003581

i actually dont like the entry so much no in retrospec . we are in a middle of a descending triangle. normally a no trade zone. entry at support around 3450 or after leaving the triangle to the upside.
just a little short term trend inside the triangle which could mean th ecoin turns here to the upside.

---

3720 -looking good

---

3k Nano long at 0.0002505 - just saw my order got filled. caught the low there


edit: need to be carefull here. the 4h chart doesnt look so good. alot of room to the downside. will close the position if we go below 2480

---

GO at 919 again ...had a order at 882, went to 890 too greedy

XEM i got an order at 1729 but it went down to just 1740. looking less choppy now.

---

Sold half for 2550 ...reducing risk here that i wont have a negative trade. BAT also dropped unfortunatley. stop loss there now 3519.

edit: Nano now 2575 ..1 min later 

---

closing my XRP short here at 9722- short 9657 for a loss of 0,007 btc

sold rest 1500 NANO at 2592  for an average win of 2.5% or 0,019 btc

sold 15000 BAT at 3669 for a win of 2.3% or 0,012 btc

decided to close all position. last 2 nights were too short and i need sleep.
ofcourse i will miss out but never forget its a marathon. happy to take small gains here and have an empty portfolio.


 
good night

---

Hey all,

didn't trade at all today since i got no time.

eventhough i said yesterday iam fine with selling all - it was abit annoying waking up and seeing that BAT was 10% up

nice break. also finding support at the 3850 region. above 4150 still interesting for a long. a pullback to 3788 i would long

---

XEM moved nicely. That daily chart is super sexy.

not at all inclined to long here since we reached resistance. i will watch and see.
lookslike green scenario is playing out.

---

the next 2-3 days iam not going to trade much due to lack of time.

didnt do anything today

CU

---

Hi all,

Posting from phone.. decided to long some for a bounce. If btc loses 4k level i will go out with a loss probably.

Long BAT 20k 3767
Long XLM 10k 4250
Long XEM 28,4k 1788

I must be sincere. you gave me hope. i am just a newbie in trading. i have struggling to get into trading but finally. i am in. i have accounts with binance, poloniex and Kucoin.
i need suggestions if possible, do you think i should narrow it down to two exchanges or just one. i think having many accounts on different exchanges might narrow your trading capability and also finance.

Hi,

longing support , shorting resistance
longing strength, shorting weakness

factors: support/ resistance zones, price action, over all market,trendlines, orderbook, some candle patterns

if a market or a coin is very strong/weak i may long and short break outs too.

i dont have a strategy like: if indicator A is that and indicator B is that then a buy i triggered.

you can find some arguments in the charts i posted here

---

jeez BAT stopped out at 3513 - breakeven   -now trading at 3650 ...

Trades like posted:


i still like the candles in daily chart but dont want to enter here. maybe if it drops down to 3550 again. annoying since it was an 0.8btc position.

---

sold 47600 GO at 0,00000956 for  9,6% or 0,04 btc
Trades like posted:


nice trade, very happy with it.   maybe re-entering betwen 900-910

---

Decided to take profits since its a good chance that btc will find resistance at 4600.

sold 2nd half NANO at 2618 for an average gain of 11,4% or 0,1btc

26.50 is resistance. since iam able to trade today during the day, will try to get in deeper again, same with BAT and GO, and also XEM


trades like posted:

Hi, my question is simple whats your strategy? what makes you buy or sell?

hi all,

got stopped out at 101,15 for a loss of 2.11 % or -0.021 BTC

sell :


was bad since i said i wont short ripple...but on the other hand it was exuberance. it went down to 87 today

---

i also decided to take my entrioes today in the trading list -eventhough entries are not posted in realtime. i will manage it in the future that via phone i will make a small post about my entry during the day and in the evening provide more details. otherwise iam skipping too many trades.

i went long 3783 NANO at 2308
and long 24960 BAT at 3517
basically i wanted to use the huge drop to be long in 2 coins where i thought they hade a decent support zone.

as you can see on the sceenshopt i also sold half my XEM with a loss of 3,7% at 1673. i wanted to cut my position in half but i actually sold in order to long GVT. it went down to below 100 which is a no brainer long in my eyes. but got distraced at work and never longed actually. GVT went up 30% afterwards!!!!

trades

---

hi!

thanks for your interest. i did activate it now but got to say that will not do such thing. feel free here to ask here any time about my motivation for a certain decision. the more specific the question is the better since it means you are already digging into the topic by yourself.

---

here the nano long motivation

22 K are is a strong support
=> prior resistance in August, then support in the break out
=> 78.6 retracement zone from the move up to 56k
=> twice did nano successfully bounce off 22.25 K yesterday

---

BAt i longed few days ago since it had a strong bounce after the first btc dump. it didnt make new lows today which i find strong. so i got in. it is not as good performing as i thought though. but nice daily long wicks. 4 bullish candles in 5 days

---

but man ...the GVT chart. still biting my azz that i didnt long there.
100 very strong support

break of the hundred to get some stop losses and then straight up to the next resistance area- beautifull. even on a 0.4 btc trade that would be 0.1 btc profit...

---

XEM iam still in with half my position at 1734. I actually didnt realize that i had an 0.8 btc position due to miss calculation. way to big size since the stop loss was so far away. so that was one motivation to cut the position in half...but yeah the exit was badly timed at 1674

The short term chart looks pretty choppy - high volatility. daytraders dream. but since i got no time at all today ...i try to use longer time frames. and i got to say the daily chart looks amazing. maybe time for the green szenario


 

---

long 47600 GO at 0,00000872 -stop 849

GO was strong the last days - today huge drop - but also a 20% bounce. i am long here the support area. but with a tight stop. BTC is scary atm.

---

unfortunately need to sleep


volatility is insane in btc today.

just sold half my nano at 2530 - rest stop 2399 (i want to give it some room because i think we got a good chance of btc recovering more here) target thn can be 28k for nano
BAT i put my stop to 3519 - more or less break even
GO i only got a 0.4 btc pos. - will let the stop be at 849 - but its not looking great
XEM stop loss 1619 - super wide ...but also there a 0.4btc pos now and the volatility is so high in that coin.

if btc goes to 4800 now its possible to see some nice gains in the coins.

good night

Hi There, I have been following your trading journal since you posted it here on BTT. I really like your trading style. Can you please guide me? Tried sending you a direct message couldn't do that so Can you please enable in your settings to receive messages from newbies? Thanks

if you mean my BCHSV trade => I had a typo there and wrote BTCSV...

my goal for now is not beeing stopped out ...here my targets. I would sell 1/3 there if we reach it. last target would mean 40% ...sick...






If you really mean BTC shortterm...i am actually looking for a possible short entry here . MAybe in 30 min when the funding on bitmex is over. Break of the 15 min RSI maybe an entry

---

bought 10 more BCHSV 0,0023

---

Meeh Fomoed 10k short BTC on 5500 stop 5561

break of the RSI uptrend but man the execution was bad. Wanted to get 5520 and got overload and panic sold ...never good on bitmex lol

instantly in minus...

Target 5405 and 5362

---

sold half my BCHSV for 0,022777

stop rest 0,022299
my average buy is at 0,022289

i alrdy lost 5% from the high. my position is pretty big with 1btc. so iam reducing here and taking at least some profit.
my fear is that we get an extended correction which will go to the 0,02k reagion is which is the 61.8% retracement area.

abit dissapointing because profits could have been huge. on the other hand i dont want to risk my profits of the last two days and in a high volatility coin with a huge position.

EDIT ...while typing that i lost my last bchsv in a dump. also i had my limit wrong so i sold with 1.5% slippage ...

i made 0,004 btc on that trade after fees ...after being up more than 0.06 btc at one point - thats bad.

here the trades like posted...
https://imgur.com/a/PgFMV9n

---

calling it a night

would love to trade more and see if bchsv goes to a 0,022 but way too tired.

my btc short is BE at the moment. put the stop down to 5540 - no other position at the moment.


cu tomorrow

---

Good morning

just coverred my 2nd hald of the BTC short at break even.

The other half i was able to cover at 5406.5 at night ...it was the low 

completely out now ((profit: 1,1% or 0,014 btc)

here are the orders like told:


https://imgur.com/a/evC79He


and chart...

---

BCH SV went up nicely Iam pretty sure i could have made alot on that move since i was waiting for it - but yeah ..as told..too tired and just had a nice 9h sleep now :=)

---

10500 XRP long 8669

pretty late entry - but super strong and breaking out

goal 90 to 95 will sell in that region ...

stop loss at the moment 85

---

long 100k QKC 0,00000755

willing to risk some here at the support zone. the drop is pretty violent though

stop betwen 730-740 target 800-810

---

sold 50k QKC 0,00000791

taking some profits here at minor resistance.
stop loss for rest at 774 - so also 2.5% in profit

---

Sold rest QKC betwen 803 and 810

completely out now (profit: 5,54% or 0,042 btc)

here are the trades like posted:

---

sold half at 8779

reducing risk here on the upper trendline. move is pretty extended and there is a good chance that we drop here.
but on the other hand its ripple and we just took the previous high (4hour chart on the right)

in case we really start here to 90+ i keep the rest in. iam also expecting there are alot of shorts in ripple right now and want to get squeezed out
never the less. stop loss for the rest to 8679 - so worst case i will get stopped out break even with the rest

---

sold 2nd half for 8873.
selling abit too agressive here - so iam happy to take profits. 89xx would have been more optimal of course.

trades like posted:


profit: 1,66% or 0,0152 btc

Long 5000 ZRX 0,00009685

here my thoughts on the coin with pro's and cons ...i'm buying here since i found the strength the last days impressive

---

eventhough i just opened the zrx -trade, I decided to give an overview since the start, which was exactly 4 weeks ago.

all the trades are shown here:



After 3 weeks i was more or less break even but could finally make some good trades this last week which made me ending up with an overall profit of 0,365 btc.

It was obvious, as soon as the market moved (direction doesnt matter), the trading setups were working much better for me  than in a sideways/low volume/ choppy market with random pump and dumps.
So actually i was happy ending up breaking even after 3 weeks.
I think that also shows one important thing: In times where the trades dont work very well - trade less, use smaller sizes - PRESERVE your capital. Then when the time comes, you have enough capital to actually risk some in trades where you know that your odds of winning are in your favour.
 
It is really bad when you spew away xx% of your account under bad market conditions which makes you not able to use the full potential of your account once the market changes. you end up sitting on scared money, not wanting to lose more which basically makes you winning just a fraction of what it could have been.

lets see how the next 4 weeks will turn out.

---

long 30 BCHSV 0,025394


break out play

---

calling it a night.
ZRX stop loss raised to 0,00009599 -looking good
BCHSV Stop loss at 0,02949 - down want to give it more room to the downside. it is likely to get stopped out but if not maybe we see nice gains.

i also have a stop buy order for 12k BAT at 0,00003901 - reason why i like BAT are almost similiat to ZRX ...chrt detail tomorrow in case i got bought in.


good night

---

hi all

stopped out BCH at 0,024887 for a loss of 2.16% or -0,0165 btc
trades like posted:



still in ZRX

but got stopped into BAT last night: long 12000 BAT for 0,00003905

---

XRP amazingly strong.

reached the resistance area in the mid 90's.

ofcourse would have been nice to take some more gains on my last trade. but I'm happy to have stated to not short ripple since its too strong and also sticked to it. i suppose alot of trader were having some significant short losses.

since we are at strong resistance here i have no intention at all to long and think we will consolidate at least for a while....several days.

---

hi all,

didnt trade today and also tomorrow dont have much time.

iam still in ZRX and BAT
Stop ZRX adjusted to 9649 - almost break even.
Stop BAT still 3749

good night

---

hi all

came home late - what a dump!!!

Hey keanne ...dont know if you are reading this..but grats to your coin picks ...both are outperforming and XRP is killing it!!!

---

long 50k XEM 1733

so strong - broke the 1730 short term resistance

risk reward not amazing ...but will adjust stop loss to the upside asap ...

---

1st lesson of the week 5-8 is definately stop loss. saved me alot today.

2nd lesson ... with those dark red market conditions look at the coins which outperform.  XRP, XLM, QKC, XEM, EOS, just dont want to drop. they are my bulls for swinging and i will look for entries at pullbacks.

---

i couldnt help it but to short ripple...

10k short xrp 0,00009900 at bitmex ...stop 102.01

---

going to bed
profit target xrp set on mex at 9401 and 9277
stop down to 101,01

do you have a btc goal profit?

I was in no position and no i didnt see it coming.

i bought QKC for 763 and sold around 815 (orders on binance still dont show up so cant tell in detail)
i bought GVT for 116 and sold around 128
entries you can see here - exits for QKC are just partially posted - i hope they show up later on binance:
https://imgur.com/a/cA4yYs5

i am currently in a short of BCHZ18  at 0,00469 (its stronger than i thought though)
here you can see my postion - i also put the stop loss to my entry level
https://imgur.com/a/z9IY8iz


iam posting here in almost realtime my actual trades ...


my short term bias starts to be more bearish since we are not going above 5800 quickly- thats why i looked for the eos short entry. But the liquitidy sucks for eos on bitmex - so i did exit.

---

as said exits betwen 810-830

moved more than 5% higher but iam happy.

---

Entry 675 to 115,89 and exit average 128,10

will maybe try a reentry below 115

4000 ETHUSD long for 172.40 on bitmex

---

closed BCH short for 0,0448 - taking profits here - risk to high to get stopped out and want to safe the 0.02 btc profit

---

MTH long 70k for 675

basically at support area where it bounced off nicely once. stop loss with 660 around 2%. Target 720

---

124k QKC long 850

edit: QKC really strong how it did hold even when BTC was making new lows.
broke now the downtrend since the drop today from 960

its late though and it feels already like i start overtrading ...will sell rather quickler. everything above 3% would be very nice.

---

Went out of all my positions just now

ETHUSD Entry 172.40 Exit 175.95

short 5 BCHz for 0,0572


short of a possible breakout of the downtrendline here. stop very close - thinking its a bulltrap. but yeah dont even know the news with regards to the fork ...so i need to be carefull there

---

XRP for me the strongest coin outthere i can find.

what a reversal yesterday. no way i will touch it for short. i think with the performance yesterday its just a matter of time to break 85 and go to 95

very impressive!

---

thats my view on BTC.

with the violent drop yesterday i think we are not going up so quickly above 6k anymore.
i will look for a short entry abit more up.
If we really go above 6k again i dont mind either but iam 80% bearish at the moment.

dropped to 0.0537 - stop loss put in profit at 0,0564 - target 0.0505
