Topic: The only way to successfully trade the market "Best strategy ever" - page 2. (Read 351 times)

Cryptocurrency investment is for long term and you will have to wait for long time to earn money from crypto trading. No doubt that you will earn money if you wait for the price to go up more and when you realize that it is the right time for selling then you can sell your bitcoin. Strategies must be for long term. Cryptocurrency investment is not for short time.

go set up a demo account and figure.  place random 1000 trades with  1:2 risk/reward ratio

not saying you should trade randomly, but adding a good risk/reward ration to your trading strategy is a KEY.

not true at all, the probability of a coin growing by 500 vs fall by 250 is 50/50!.. the probability of a coin growing 1000% is exactly the same as falling 1%.  

simple proof is when BTC was at 1$ a trader who set SL at .9$ and TP at 16000$ had a 50/50 chances regardless of what happened

price doesn't need to fall by an x % before growing x%. it doesn't work this way.


look at the chart and you will understand !

so you risking 25% for 10% gains ? good luck

This is the reason why there's a lot of new users who jump in to trading and lose money because some make it sound so easy like you are buying a candy. When you buy a token or coin, it doesn't end when you set a goal for auto sell once you hit 10% target and or sell once the bought price went down 5%. It's not a color game that you only need to pick Green or Red, there's technical analysis behind that, there's a reason why you Sell/Buy at that price. Research is the best strategy.

You can't do this sort of thing, if you have a stop loss at 5% you're going to hit that in a day in crypto.Crypto goes up 5-10 percent in the matter of a few hours, if you are to follow this you're going to miss out on some big gains in crypto -- if the market does go up.

If you put the stop loss at 25% that makes more sense and matches the crypto volatility -- do that and you'll be good. Set sell target at 10-15 percent.

Goodluck folks -- I still like HODL more then any other strat.

You do not need to anything bigger to get the profit mate. There are various bump and dump signal available in telegram and slack channel. Better you may join in anything to make the profit and bid the trade as get the information on channel.

Then technically I do not know what you can to get the profit all the time, because the value bumping and dumping is not picked by the any technical stuffs it is based on the market's reaction over cryptocurrency.

you can imagine that you can make an infinite number of trades. would you be profitable in the long run?

Without a doubt, the application of risk/reward ratio is very vital in trading in order that profit is maximized with as few winnings as possible, since it is apparently easier to lose than win. However it needs to be emphasized that a trade ending in greens, just don't come by mere wishes and a risk\reward ratio can only be as good as the fundamental and/or the technical analysis from which they're projected. Suffice to say that, you would have to get it right first with your analysis, for your risk/reward ratio to stand any chance.

The probability of an event that the coin will grow by 500 is much lower than the probability of a fall by 250. So these strategies are theoretically the same.

Thats a long story short thanks.

I just had to write a sort of detailed explanation especially for those who just started trading.

if people are interested I can make more posts on Technical analysis.  I am a newbie in this forum but being trading for good 6 years and willing to share what I learned so far for absolutely free.

cheers

I'll try to summarize this for all you guys who want a TL;DR: basically the best practice is 2:1 ratio what this means is that after you buy you set your sell target at a 10% profit and set a stop-loss at 5% below the price you bought.

Hello people. let's get right into it.


what is more important than Technical , Fundamental analysis is  RISK - REWARD ratio.


as basic as it may sound, i am very certain that many traders do not have the best practice when comes to risk to reward ratio!


I will give you a simple math lesson to show you the power of this practice.

now assuming that every trade you have has a 50% to hit your take profit target , and 50% chance to hit your STOP LOSS target.

-------------------------------
1 - ( The worst practice )
now let us say you are the typical newbie who sets a very far SL and a tight TP target.


so,Bob is a newbie who has x amount of money  to trade in  "x " coin
Bob buys at price of 1000 points, sits his SL at 500 and TP at 1250 (because he is so afraid to lose so he keeps SL far away!)
 
Bob will lose 500 to earn 250.

assuming Bob will have 50/50 chances , which means in every 10 trades he will lose 500*5 and win 250*5
so 1250 - 2500 =  - 1250

Bob gets mad , yell at his wife, they divorce and then he blame the WHALES for his lost !

------------------------------------

2-  ( The average practice )

Steve risks 500$ for 500$  " 1:1 risk:reward ratio".

Steve makes the exact same trades but

2500 - 2500 =   0  - exchange / broker fees


-----------------------------------

3- ( The best practice )

Mike "me "  risk 250 $ to make 500$  " 1:2 risk:reward ratio"

I make the same trades as the other two guys! get the same results

Lose 250 * 5 = 1250
Win  500 * 5   = 2500

I end up making 2500 - 1250 = 1250$ - exchange / broker fees

wife is happy, cat is happy and so am I :
------------------------
now you might argue about the fact that 50/50 won't always happen.in fact using this strategy you will only need

3.5 / 10 GOOD trades to make profit!

3.5 * 500 profit = 1750
6.5 * 250 loss   = 1625
= 125 profit
------------------------------

now this is only 1:2 risk : reward ratio ! think of 1:3 !! . i personally never trade anything that less than 1:2 ratio , sometimes i go 1:5.

and to be honest I make so many wrong calls but in the end of the month my portfolio is in the green !!!

------------------------------

now in order for you to maximize your chances, you need to follow a strategy be it Support/ Resistance levels , MACD divergences , what so ever !...

Trust me people this is really the ONLY way to end up in green for the long run ! the power of Risk:reward ratio is AMAZING, i only started to make some good income after following this strategy.

and since i am not selling anything here, and you got nothing to lose. just give it a try !


you can try this method on a DEMO account to see how it works out for you! 

 and rememeber whatever you do , NEVER BE LIKE BOB
