Up until now, I have been trying to be a trend reversal trader.   I mostly try and use RSI divergence on various timeframes (however prefer 4h), as well as using the MACD and the histogram as complimentary tools.
I've tried to use RSI divergence in combination with other trading indicators, but with little success. When you learn how divergence works, the lessons usually show you examples in hindsight. When you try to apply this knowledge in practice, it's not so easy to identify these signals on a "live" chart. As someone already mentioned in the discussion above, these trading indicators don't really work so well in the crypto markets. They originate from Forex trading, which is a much more regulated domain, without huge pump and dump events. At the end of the day, for me at least, it all comes down to instinct, trying to buy cheap and sell when the price is up.

It's correct. The technical analysis is almost useless to predict the price of crypto currency, because the "whales" try to manipulate the markets anytime. Sometimes I use the arbitrage platforms, but currently such MVPs are competing to each other, so the entire arbitrage market is being segmented and, as a result, these platforms are not so profitable as before. I heard that some projects, which develop a trading bots, started to use an artificial intellect to predict the prices of coins. I guess this is a promising direction of a trading movement.

OP, do not make it more complicated than it is. You say you are a "trend reversal" trader that uses 5x leverage. That would be one of the fastest ways to lose your Bitcoins. "Trend reversals" are hard to predict and easy to get wrong, and you multiply your mistakes by using 5x leverage.

After a period of execution of trading. I notice things like:
- If you have less capital, you should choose the rubbish to trade, not trade BTC little words. When you have more than one BTC, Trade BTC.
- For high priced currencies like ETH, DASH, XMR, it will usually follow the BTC.
- Contamination will definitely be influenced by Bitcoin, so when the BTC decreases, the garbage will go up and vice versa.
- One of my biggest experiences is "do the real thing" to lose money to new fool, you just try to lose $ 1000 as you will see that much.

I often do a lot of day trading, and the profit target is 1% -3%. I want to create more day trading to accumulate small profits.

I choose a long-term investment, so it will not take too much time each day like you. But that is also a good way to make a profit with your daily efforts. Good luck!

It would be interesting to know what your trading methods and style are?   and how successful your strategy is?

I have been trading for less than a year.  At the momement I mostly like to trade BTC and ETH due to the 5* leverage on Kraken.


Up until now, I have been trying to be a trend reversal trader.   I mostly try and use RSI divergence on various timeframes (however prefer 4h), as well as using the MACD and the histogram as complimentary tools.


I also use EMA 12/26 (cradle zone , area between the two EMA's) as support and resistence, as price action frequently bounces of these averages.




My strategy is simple, find the trend, top price and top bottom, calculate and enter the market using long term period. Many people use this strategy because don't have much time watch market and I did that almost 2 years. Use MA ( 5.3.3 ) to enter and exit, MACD to read trend and martiangle money management to calculate open position. I believe you and all members ( specially traders ) familiar with this strategy because I see this strategy on babypips 5 years a go. Keep going and see you on the top.

Well as a beginner and interested to try in trading, ive asked few tips from crypto traders friends, they usually gave me a start overview about RSI and MCI and other chart analysis ..ive tried 5 different tradings of token in 2 exchanges,..it kinda intense and scary at first..observing those lines and volumes ..there were times it went the wrong way than expected.. So i just make it sure that aside from looking into chart syste..i should only buy when its the lowest ... Check the volume also.. Simple as never buy when candle is green...

if I trade, I prefer to use a method for several price points for me to buy and also some price points to sell, and I think that way it has got good results from daily trading.

I've used a few different strategies at different times depending on what was going on.  My technique doesn't involve a whole lot of technical analysis...has more to do with an active understanding of the coin and its market dynamics. I think some good advice is to be plugged into the communities and not spread yourself thin as far as what you're paying attention too.  It allows you to have a better reaction time if you're going to be an active trader and understand what's behind the ups and downs.  Also, I only trade with a portion of my bag.  Ultimately, I believe in the coin and want to get more of it...not looking to cash out short term.  If that's your motive as well, one bad trade can hurt you a lot, so I only trade with 20-25% of my bag.

Generally, if the market is bullish where I feel there could be a decent swing up, I set several high sell orders in front of larger sell orders in hopes that the market will pump to those levels and give me time to check whats going and decide whether to try arbitrage, swing trade, or a quick turnaround daytrade while the large orders get eaten up.  If I do swing/daytrade it, I'll usually only look to make 5-10% or less and then find a new higher position to set.  If I think its going to pump higher (50-100%+), I might put one high order in, but generally I'll just HODL that thing until I feel it's peaked and sell most of it, hanging onto a bit in case it goes higher.

On downturns, it's kind of the same thing in reverse.  I'll set some lower buys at various levels (above larger orders), and if they fill I'll generally try to make 2-3% on a low sell order and then set a lower price buy order in again.

In flat portions, I'll use both strategies to just make those 1-5% plays in either direction and try to stay sort of close to the top of both buy/sell books.  I usually won't have my whole trading bag out there either, in case things shift suddenly, which can definitely happen in crypto.

There are exceptions where I might do something different depending on why the price is going up or down, but in general that's what's worked best.  And of course, don't be too greedy, and have some patience.   Also, don't be afraid to take some small losses.  If you sold/bought too early, and the market is still moving quick, find a way to get out of the position and make it up with a better trade later on.

Full disclosure/disclaimer...I only have been trading crypto for like a month or two, but I've over tripled my trading bag doing the stuff above.

I trade like an investor. I try to find some interesting assets and then I find more information about them and if an asset is undervalued I buy it. For example, right now I have paid attention on ethereum because it seems me that ethereum will grow and 400$ is a good resistance level.
What about indicators like MACD, MA, EMA, RSI and other I do not use them because I had negative experience of using them. That is why I have changed my strategy and I buy only cheap and undervalued assets not using a credit leverage.

I have been in to trading for more than a decade, and I'm still undecided on which strategy to use most often. Having said this, my method of trading differs as per situation arises. I usually like to do swing trades, so I try to figure the high and low, i.e. resistance and support and take trades based on this.

My strategy usually analyzes with TA analysis and fundamentals
usually in the long term I prefer to use fundamental analysis, with a touch of TA analysis to determine the purchase price, and if the coin that I bought falls below my purchase price, usually if I am sure of my TA analysis and fundamentals, then I will buyback again for cover losses or increase profits with gradual sell habits

I also like to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum, but I use only technical analysis for trading and look at the volumes. All the other indicators I consider useless and they only complicate the trade.

this is a very general question and without the need for input from others you will realize it all, yes first by buying with the price down or at the cheapest price when the market is in a red position to sell it at the highest price in 24 hours or often called selling with a green price, for more depth it will always have an idea on its own initiative.

I personally don't like trading too much, especially the current uncertain conditions about the direction of the goal and the potential to swallow defeat, I'm just the person who hit Bitcoin in the next few years
