Savory Short Scalp Into Liquidity, Then Strap In

yes this is a coinbase chart but a bitmex setup.

Note

I'm not convinced yet.

Note

previous weekly and daily close still intact. still in this trade. if they break i'm going deep beak.

Note

i'm gutting this trade at break even. BTC FTW!! unless i'm being tricked. then i'll just reopen. it.

Note

i'm back in a bit. i should trust myself by now. the thing is that bitmex is a treacherous place to trade. furthermore, i don't like to use stops. i don't swing big positions around mex. i use cross leverage on very small accounts that i like to build up over and over. liquidation is my stop, and this is fine based on the size.

why don't i like to use stops at mex? because if i put them where they won't be run, the amount of drawdown i'll likely encounter will qualify as unacceptable risk. of course it's easy to say "why don't I make more accurate entries?" , and that's the valid question, but to put the question in perspective, let me ask human beings a question: why don't you just make better choices in life? catch my meaning?

my goal is to trade accurately enough within my understanding, size and strategies that I don't need to use stop losses.

so, let's sum this with a tangental yet appropriate movie quote:

"roads? where were going we don't need roads"

Note

and as if on cue, my reopened short is in the money

Note

took it. trade over.

Note

furthermore, long now.

Note

glorious. stopped out of long - liquidated position - after going to bed. wake up to see the trade had unfolded perfectly.

this is the living record of the days that i become a profitable trader.

Note

could have put this play on rewind for the next few months
