Holy shit that's some major info
Need to take some time to sit down and interpret it.
I have done some trading in bitcoin but I figured out that stop losses can kill you.
If you look at the current graph that red dildo will get you stopped out and if it is followed by a green dildo you lost major money.
A technique I thought up which I would consider is anomaly trading. When a big dildo hits open a trade in opposite direction. Good chance the market will correct and give you direct profits.
ROFLMAO
The reason I did NOT use the term "Swing Trading" is because many people use the term "Swing" quite loosely without any clarification as to what time frame they are using to trade "Swings." This is why I was more descriptive (detailed) with what time frames are used with different types of trading.
Not everyone has the same amount of time available to trade. Some may have full time jobs and cannot afford the time to trade full time to qualify as a "Day Trader" like myself. Which is another reason why I was more descriptive in regard to different types of trading in different time frames. I provided that information to especially inform new traders what time frames they should be using with indicators for the amount of TIME they have available for trading.
I agree with you on the occasions when there is a big red candle followed by a big green candle. Those do occur on occasions. It also depends on the time frame you're trading in accordance with what type of trading your doing. My reply cannot be simply cut and dry because of different scenarios. One must keep in mind that SEVENTY (70) PERCENT (%) of your capital invested in a particular crypto pair should already be off exchange in cold storage. At least that is my personal preference. So, if a big red candle played out on the Daily and followed by a big green candle on the Daily, I'm not worried about that kind of price action for the 70 percent bag I'm holding off exchange in cold storage.
It's the remaining 30 percent you may or may not have on exchange in which a move like that may freak you out. Also, I prefer using
TRAILING STOPS instead of "stop loss" or "stop limit" orders. Maybe you're thinking, "My exchange does not have a 'trailing stop' feature?" If that is what you're thinking, that's why I mentioned using a 3rd party. Such as 3Commas:
https://3commas.io/s?utm_expid=.2WnYy79yStqoakYyk_Avqg.1&utm_referrer= It is a PAID service in which you use an API to connect to your exchange that does NOT offer a "Trailing Stop" feature. YET, 3Commas DOES HAVE a "Trailing Stop" feature built into their platform to allow you to use a "Trailing Stop" on your exchange. A Trailing Stop comes in very handy once you are in profit and you wish to stay in your trade and/or position longer for a chance to increase your gains WHILE protecting yourself from serious loss.
It's also a good idea to keep tabs on the price action by setting price alarms and indicator alarms on TradingView just in case that scenario were to occur. This way you are allowing yourself preparation if such an event were to occur.
Like I said, the answer is not quite so cut and dry because of different scenarios. However, what you are describing does not occur as often in the 12h TF and higher as it does in lower TF's; such as the 4h and lower.
