What is your niche? Do you have a trading style? Personally, my strategy is based on short-term trading, which is how I make my bread and butter. The occasional long-term trades are icing on the cake. I believe that only short-term price swings can be foreseen with adequate precision. I’m also a firm believer in anticipating price direction, but not magnitude. I don’t set price targets. I either place my sells in relation to the amount of volume coming into the market VS the total sum of the Sell orders, or I simply get out when the market action tells me it’s time to get out, rather than based on any consideration of how far the price has gone.

APEX


Good fundamentals + Good technical elements = Home run!

Aside from the forthcoming updates etc, this coin has a brilliant and active team behind it. Thus APEX has been a recurring Pumpers Pick for just over a Month now.

The volume may look unnatural, but this is what it looks like when a mass of traders simultaneously take advantage of a market that is void of any Sell resistance.

And that is what it all comes down to. The Crypto market is as simple as that.

Due to the lack of liquidity and the almost laughable trade volume in each market – you are free to have your wicked way with any coin of your choosing.. provided the fundamentals aren’t terrible and your path to profit isn’t clogged with the most unsightly sell walls.

Despite what you may have been led to believe, or what you saw in a documentary – or what you were force-fed at some trading seminar... Trading is as simple as taking advantage of high probability opportunities. Making the most of situations where the odds are tilted in your favour. Trading isn’t about picking tops, or bottoms... or  being right or wrong on a trading idea. It is about finding an edge and putting yourself ahead of the curve because, if your approach is similar to that of the majority of traders, you will eventually get wiped out.

The majority will always do the wrong things at the wrong time, thus the chips will always end up being concentrated in the hands of the few instead of the many.

Tip: Always keep in mind that there are hoards of deep pocketed traders who play these markets – but aren’t frequenters of the Bitcointalk forums. They make most of their trading decisions based on technical factors alone. So don’t get too engrossed and absorbed in the daily noise or even market-sentiment. When the technicals of a coin are in perfect order – that is where the volume is going to go, regardless of what the general sentiment of the market is. People tend to over complicate things, using overly excessive and, sadly, useless indicators and charts. Which only serve to the detriment of your overall performance. That’s not to say that Fundamentals such as news and updates aren’t relevant. I tend to pay some attention to fundamentals when trading, but not in the conventional way. I don’t try to gauge whether the fundamentals are bullish or bearish. Rather, I focus on the market’s response to fundamental news. For example, if a market is shrugging off a barrage of bearish news, I would view that as an impending bull move.


GPC


GPC. An oldie, but a goodie.

A surge in volume brought this market to my attention. Especially since there was no news or updates to warrant a buying frenzy.

Of course this goes to show how important technical factors are. The technicals were so on point that to pass this market by without putting on a trade, would be like leaving money in the street.

This particular trade was as simple as walking in and picking money up from the floor.

Buy support was minimal, but that didn’t concern me. Because, when I looked at the sell orders I could see a 300% move right there in the orderbook. I could also see that it would take an insignificant amount of BTC to force the market into an upward swing.

An absolute no brainer from start to finish... and GPC still has enough steam left to put on a repeat performance.

GPC is being offered to the community via a Public Transfer of Leadership. GPC is a “vintage” coin with great potential.  All interested parties can go here to have a look.

Tip: It is very important to distinguish between respect for the market and fear of the market. Being respectful of the market will assure that your losses are kept to an absolute minimum. Fear will keep you from making correct decisions. You won’t win, if you’re fearful of losing.

Avoid the temptation of wanting to be completely right by shunning all or nothing decisions and instead scaling in and scaling out of positions.

Note: BTC is a buy right now. Pay attention to the price and execute your buys at the low points. Oct - Dec will be very interesting.

Not to bring up anything else, lol  
But he deleted my post in his other self-moderated thread - someone asked why there never seems to be much feedback,  
I replied about my suspicions of shill accounts (users with little number of posts) and cohorts coming in to say he's great whenever people question him..
Which kind of leads me to believe its true.

Another photoshopping error on one of his trades a few days ago too.

Would love to know how much he's putting down on each trade as well, can't be that much

I've noticed in the past when he mentioned other names of stocks ..
I think when they didn't perform as expected, then he just doesn't talk about them.  lol

I'm trying to think of some of the names of other ones.. ETHAN I think was one too.

what hapened with your trades on GHOST?

Don’t focus too much on making money; focus on protecting what you have. Protective stops  are one of the most effective tools for limiting your downside risk on each trade. However, many traders use terrible approaches in placing their stops... approaches so terrible that the stop can actually make matters worse. You have to be willing to allow enough risk for a trade to work. If you’re inexperienced in using stops, especially in Crypto, then placing a stop too close to your entry point is likely to lead to multiple losses. Essentially, you want to be placing your stop orders at a price point that disproves your initial reason for originally getting into the trade. When you grow more accustomed to using stop orders – you can use tighter stops, but be prepared to interfere manually as – due to the current infrastructure being quite makeshift, our exchanges aren’t at the level they should be - you may find that often the market will gap down and fall below your stop order without bringing you out of the market. I frequently advise people to first work out how much they are ‘willing to lose’ on each trade, then decide where the market should not go if you’re right about a specific trade – that’s where you place your stop.

CANN


After reaching a new ATH on Monday  @ 6K –  CANN smashed through that price range and continued on, gaining 100%+

With over 500BTC worth of volume, this reminds me of the days of VRC and also when BTCD first began to kick up some serious dust. With the 1:1 pegging of 1 CANN – 1g Cannabis coming on the 20th it isn’t a wonder why we have seen this surge in volume.

CANN has been a recurring Pumpers Pick since early September when it's value was sitting around 1.3K Satoshi. After having reached 14743K Satoshi today, that is a 1034% gain since early Sep. Not too bad.

I have been in and out of CANN over the past few days – diving in as sell resistance dissipates and letting market momentum drive my positions into profit.

Tip: So much is made out of “entry  / exit points”... But when you boil down to the essential minerals of trading – an entry or exit “point” holds very little relevance whatsoever. If you are spending your time trying to pick bottoms and tops then it is certain that you will never find any success whatsoever. Trying to pick a bottom or top is essentially an attempt to force an opinion on a market – and that never ends well. Your job is to find high probability trading opportunities. Think to yourself – “where can the most money be made”?..  “If I buy in, then what needs to happen to bring me out with a profit?”.. “Is there good trading volume?”... “Is there momentum – when were the last executed trades?”.. This is the way you need to be thinking. When you grasp this, you will suddenly find yourself being bought out of the market at the top because you correctly assessed the trading volume in relation to the sell orders... you will find yourself “buying at the bottom” because you’re able to ‘look beyond the sell wall’ and see that – overall – resistance is low. Don’t be like everyone else, don’t just take the textbook trades.. wherever there is a full blown rally, there is a breakout brewing up in another market.

Avoid the temptation of wanting to be completely right by shunning all or nothing decisions and instead scaling in and scaling out of positions.

Note: BTC is a buy right now. Pay attention to the price and execute your buys at the low points. Oct - Dec will be very interesting.

Thanks again
watched the video, won't link as you avoided doing this - but it's by a trader called Mike Ser, so if anyone else reading this thread wants some tips you can find him on youtube
gonna sort out the stop loss thing on cryptrader & place a couple of micro-orders to make sure I'm doing it right
jk

Hey,

thanks. It's nice to know that people are finding this information useful.

These are the exact same tactics that I used to accelerate my accumulation of BTC, and as this market is still brand-new in comparison with the other established financial markets - each tactic that I reveal is still at high potency today.. specifically, methods such as trading in sync with market momentum, placing buy orders 40% - 50% below high volume markets to bag quick profits from corrections, how to spot a rally 'before' the actual breakout etc.

All are tools you can use to put yourself one step ahead of the average trader who buys whilst better informed traders are selling.

Regarding the vid, check your messages.

Cheers

You will lose your money

Just signed for the coming week, looking forward to see how it plays out 

Hi Ryan

Very helpful thread, thanks very much.

I really appreciated all the tips you shared & am working my way up to affording your PP group but will wait till I have a couple of BTC to invest. 

In your very first post you attached a screenshot saying "This video shows how you should be executing your trends: "www.youtube..." & then it's cut off.

Any chance you could share the link in full please?  as keen to learn the techniques that have stood you in good stead.

Thanks again for all the free tips

John

Is spam / advertising junk stuff like this allowed in these forums? 

Can I spam my things too?

Most novice traders believe that trading success is all about finding a great method for entering trades. This just isn’t the case. Risk control is more important to trading success than the trade selection methodology. You can do quite well with a mediocre  entry method and average risk control – but you are likely to eventually go broke with a superior entry method and poor risk control.  The sad reality is that the amount of attention that unskilled traders devote to risk control is very limited. I know where I’m getting out of a trade before I get in... why is this important? Because before you get into a trade is the last time you have complete objectivity – so this is when I decide where to place my stop loss controls and where I’m going to exit if the market is in my favour. Once you get into a trade, you lose objectivity, which makes it easier to procrastinate by rationalizing a losing position – or liquidating a winning position prematurely.

CANN


CANN has been in an uptrend since last Tuesday, with strong and consistent volume.

CANN has been a recurring Pumpers Pick since early September – since then CANN has gone up 323% over a sustained period of time.

Not only is this a signal of strength, but as there have been no significant dumping sprees – it shows that the market sentiment towards this coin is strongly positive. CANN is, by far, the leading “weed coin” with its market cap dwarfing competitors such as POT, CCN etc.

Where there is good volume and minimal sell resistance, a rally is never too far behind. I enjoy momentum plays, and this was another textbook manoeuvre.

I scaled into this play after catching the market as it dipped and plunged into a pool of liquidity bringing several BTC into the market. A nice wall appeared on the sell side allowing me to enter the market with size. (Don’t be intimidated by sell walls – you have to “look beyond the wall”.. What do the other sell orders look like? Are they insignificant in size? Can you literally see a 50% move right there in the order book? – then buy the wall. This is one edge I have that is essential to my overall strategy)

Tip: Scroll through the coins listed on Bittrex. You will find that many are in the early stages of an uptrend. Once you have your coins (hopefully all of them have good volume – 10btc +), assess the sell side. (The buy side isn’t important, means nothing – and is often manipulated) When assessing the sell side, you want to literally see a 50% - 100% move and a combined total of no more than 5 BTC in sell orders. If all of these ingredients are present (plus the other factors I regularly recommend paying attention to, momentum etc.) – then you will do well getting into those markets and holding until the rally begins to stall out.

URO


The URO market has been threatening to rally for days now – literally. Just look at this sustained accumulation



URO finally broke out on Friday, and has risen nearly 165% since then, which isn’t bad at all. Looking at the order book, sell resistance has began to build so I’d be very mindful of that before buying in.

I scaled into this particular trade using volume as my entry indicator. The trade volume was increasing at a rate that indicated that several traders were taking active positions in this market.

Plus I noticed the sell orders were very insignificant in size when compared with the amount of volume that was coming in – making this play a no brainer.

Tip: Trade based on what you see, not what you think. Trading shouldn’t involve any guess work whatsoever. Guesswork is more suited to activities such as gambling. But don’t get me wrong, trading, just like gambling, is also a game of probability. But, the one defining difference is that; if you assess the correct indicators – you can clearly see the outcome of a trade, before it is executed. You can see where a market is about to go, and what needs to happen before it gets there. Therefore the traders who are skilled and knowledgeable of these indicators have a clear advantage in the market. Those who are new to crypto, and even those who have been trading altcoins for quite some time – but don’t have any specific edge – will always make the wrong decisions in the market. In fact, unbeknownst to them, their every trading decision only serves to fatten the pockets of the traders who are one step ahead.

Avoid the temptation of wanting to be completely right by shunning all or nothing decisions and instead scaling in and scaling out of positions.

Note: BTC is a buy right now. Pay attention to the price and execute your buys at the low points. Oct - Dec will be very interesting.

11 Oct - 12 Oct
Total return: 134%
Coins: QTL, SLR

Most traders tend to view trades as a two-step process: a decision when (or where) to enter - and a decision when (or where) to exit. It may be better to view trading as a ‘dynamic’ process between entry and exit points – rather than a static one. Personally, I tend to take some money off the table when the market  is in my favour .  The basic idea is that the position size of a trade would be reduced on a profitable move upwards and then rebuilt on a subsequent correction – putting me in a stronger position over and over again. Any time I have pulled some money from the table, and the market retraced back to my original entry point  - I generate a profit that otherwise would not have been achieved.

QTL


This market has provided excessive opportunity for traders to dive in and then dip out with profit again, and again. It has been the ultimate scalpers market this week and has provided the rare opportunity for traders to “go long” for the week as it has been trending upwards since Monday. QTL was one of the Pumpers Picks Short-Term movers – sent out to members on Wednesday, allowing for entry at 6K.

This particular trade was born out of the fact that, as mentioned in one of my posts yesterday, there was still a distinct lack of sell resistance in the order book – (sign that a rally still has legs and the market will continue upwards).

Overall, this was a simple momentum play.... nothing too complicated – other than taking advantage of thin sell orders.

Before getting into a market I look to see that the market is in optimal condition to provide a favourable return. This is something I repeatedly stress to members – you have to “wait for movement” before you dive in. It is that simple. Once you have grasped that one ideology, you will be able to effectively take advantage of market momentum – letting the market carry all of your trades towards profit, instead of trying to trade against the market in an attempt to impose your own opinion on a trade – the market will always punish those that trade against the tide.

How would you go about monitoring and taking advantage of market momentum?

Create an account on Cryptrader and make use of the price alerts tool. With this QTL trade, I had price alerts placed to bring my attention to any significant upward or downward movement.

Once price action triggers my alerts, I want to see that 1. There are a string of past trades that have been executed by the minute, so I asses the trade history. 2. I want to see that there is more volume coming into the market than has been the norm for the last half hr. 3. I want to see that there is no sell resistance (sell walls) blocking my path to profit.

This is how you asses momentum. When all of these factors are aligned in your favour then that is when you should be looking to buy in via the sell side (place your sell orders as quickly as possible) – then it’s just a simple case of letting the Market momentum pull more traders in (who will also buy through orders on the sell side).. eventually your sell orders will be scooped up providing you with a healthy return.

Tip: Let the arrow shoot itself. Despite what people are lead to believe, trading isn’t about “hard-work”. In fact, you’ll find that the people that work the hardest are often the people that make the least money – if any at all. The hard work in trading comes in the preparation. How prepared are you? What is your understanding on the way the Crypto markets move? What is your edge? What do you know that 90% of other traders do not? These are all questions that you should have the answer to. The actual act of executing a trade should be the most effortless part of your strategy – if this isn’t the case then the reason that your losses are magnitudes larger than your gains should now be clear.

SLR


Looking at the long-term chart, you will see that SLR has been able to maintain volume over a sustained period of time, in fact SLR has risen nearly 1400% since July - in a very natural manner might I add.

Not only that, but you will also notice a boost in volume in mid September that the market has maintained for nearly an entire month now – sign of strength.

Just a quick glance at the sell orders will reveal how scarce sell resistance still is. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

SLR was another Pumpers Pick that was went out to members this week.

Throughout the week, the SLR market had been slowly descending – but bringing in a bunch of BTC into the market with each significant dip – which confirmed my interest in this market, as other traders were lining up to get in below the market – despite the threat of the formation of a down trend. – another indicator of strength.



My whole thing was to wait for the downward plunge to subside – I knew that the decent was going to stall out as buy support was building up and there were no sell walls to speak of. After seeing the dump volume spike, followed by more buy orders being placed at lower levels – it was clear that the market was going to dip a little lower before taking off. I placed my orders in the buy side to catch a favourable price that would allow me to maximise my gain and eventually I was dragged into having an active position.

As expected, the price began to spike upwards due to the lack of sell walls which reinforced my assumption that only the slightest flash of volume would cause the market to rally.

Momentum built and turned my position into a healthy 43% gain.

Tip: In these markets, you have to embrace the feeling of discomfort. The majority of traders often lean towards taking only the most obvious trades in an effort to make themselves feel more comfortable with their positions. This is what causes unskilled traders to buy into a market that is rallying (loads of green candlesticks, heaps of (often manipulated) buy support, excessively high volume) – this is the time that the professionals are selling. Learn to spot the difference between a buyers market and a sellers market – this shouldn’t be hard, because they are worlds apart.

Avoid the temptation of wanting to be completely right by shunning all or nothing decisions and instead scaling in and scaling out of positions.

Note: BTC is a buy right now. Pay attention to the price and execute your buys at the low points. Oct - Dec will be very interesting.

Apologies, many people to respond to.

Sounds like a lot of work/risk for only 8BTC. With gains totaling 1,334% - provided my entry and exit criteria are followed strictly - a mere 0.5BTC returns 7BTC within days.

If you're weighing up risk / reward - I'd rather risk a very minimal amount and pull in gargantuan returns, instead of the other way round.

Ryan, I don't care much about those profits in percent. I count absolute profits. Even if you pump MID sky high with less than 1 BTC and make maybe 0.1 BTC in the process, it's a pocket change and a waste of time. If you pump UNO with 20 BTC and manage to make only half of those 80% in profits, i.e 8 BTC, that's a real thing.

Hello sir, how much does it cost joining your club?
