GOLDEN RULES FOR LONG TERM TRADING!!Hello everyone, this is my first educational post for my community. Hope you guys like it and learn from it.
I saw many and many peoples from the past several years who starts their crypto journey full of enthusiasm and motivation but after some time they left. Only a few percent of people survive in this industry in a long run and that few peoples earn a hell lot of money. So you also wanna be in that few people? If yes, then this article is surely for you. Today I'm sharing with you guys some basics but very important rules of trading if you want to stay in the game for a long run.
1) TRADING CAPITAL
# Don't borrow money to trade from your friends or relatives.
# Save from your salary/job to build your capital.
# Big enough to hurt if you lose but not ruin your life.
2) SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU TRADE A LOT
# Enter only if the trade was planned in all details.
# It's necessary to stop or slow down sometimes. When your inner voice is telling you that it's done for a day then simply shut down your system and stay aside for a while.
3) INVALIDATION POINT
# Know when to exit and exit without having a second thought when invalidation hits.
# Trading without invalidation is gambling. Cut losses. Move on.
4) CHANGE YOUR BIAS EASILY
# You want to be rich, not right. You are here to make money.
# Change your opinions as to the market change, be fluid.
5) LEVERAGE CAN BE YOUR FRIEND OR ENEMY BOTH, CHOOSE WISELY
# Use leverage very wisely. It is the best weapon to grow small portfolios into larger portfolios meanwhile it's full of risk though.
# If you think you become a millionaire in a day by using high leverage then no one can save you from getting rekt.
6) NEVER SUPPORT OR FIGHT FOR A COIN
# You are here to make money. Forget everything else.
# Buy what makes money. Don't become a community member of any project.
# You are here to get rich, not for activism.
7) ALWAYS TAKE PROFITS PARTIALLY
# Don't have a fixed target, always take profits partially.
These are some basic but very important rules to survive in a trading career in the long run. Use risk management as your tool to survive and hard work will bring the profits. Survive for long enough and you'll be a master.

My Golden Rules - using XTZ for Analysis ExampleTimeframes I use 5min for this but unable to publish at those lower timeframes but I've found an example recently where the rules lined up on 15m timeframe.
Step 1 - 2x MTF EMA (one set at 60min with 50EMA and the other set at 15min with 50EMA) The 15min must be above the 60min for a LONG
Step 2 - Looking for Lower Lows on the chart
Step 3 - MACD making a Higher Low below the ZERO line matching with the charts Lower Lows. The line should not cross the zero line between these two points
Step 4 - Check Stoch RSI at at min. 1 HR time frame (looking between 0 -20) and on uptrend
Step 5 - On first green candle (circled) to upside on MACD is the purchase zone. In this example it is shortly before the break of the downward trendline. Also possible to wait for break of line and buy on retest.
Step 6 - Set SL below the support line no more than 2%. Set profit target - usually take 3:1 R:R
Step 7 - Sit back and watch those nice green candles climb!
Can easily get stuck in charts at the lower time frames so be sure to always ZOOM OUT to 1hr / 4hr to get a better overall picture. Some Simple Gap Analysis can help to confirm the next general direction
Took me a month of gamble trading winners and losers to come up with this set of Golden Rules.
Don't forget Bolinger Bands! great for 1% snipes :)
Good Luck
RidetheMacro|11 GOLDEN TRADING RULES FOR TRADING 💎📌 GOLDEN RULES FOR TRADING 💎
📍 1. Don’t break your rules -
The first and foremost rule of share trading is to never borrow capital to invest in share market. Test your trading setup and its logic through paper trading or back test it with the available data. Then start with small quantities or a single lot etc. So don’t break the set rules , you made them for tough situations, just like the one you’re probably in right now.
📍 2. Don’t believe in a company -
Trading is not investment. Remember the charts and forget the press releases.
📍 3. Don’t seek the Holy Grail -
There is no secret trading formula, other than solid risk management. So stop looking for it. Always do trade keeping your trading capital into consideration. Don’t over trade.
📍 4. Don’t forget your discipline -
Learning the basics is easy. Most traders fail due to a lack of discipline, not a lack of knowledge. Maintaining stop loss is one of the key discipline parameter to be religiously followed.
📍 5. Don’t chase the crowd -
Listen to the beat of your own drummer. By the time the Crowd acts, you’re probably too late. Or too early. Don't chase the Retails.
📍 6. Don’t ignore the warning signs -
Big losses rarely come without warning. Don’t wait for a lifeboat to abandon a sinking ship.
📍 7. Don’t count your chickens -
Profits aren’t booked until the trade is closed. The market gives and the market takes away with great fury.
📍 8. Don’t have a paycheck mentality -
You don’t deserve anything for all of your hard work. The market only pays off when you’re right, and when your timing is really, really good.
📍 9. Diversification of portfolio -
Do not put all eggs in one basket.
📍 10. Don’t expect to make profit everyday -
If you consider that you can make profit on every trade, you are 100% wrong. Always be flexible and accept the fact as soon as you realize that you are on wrong side of the trade. Simply exit the trade without changing your strategy during the market; it may cause you double losses. Always follow stop loss. Treat trading as a BUSINESS and Earnings (profits) & Expenditure (losses). Learn to like losses as they are the part of the business.
📍 11. Never add to a losing position -
When market has given the verdict that your trade is wrong. Accept it. Just exit from the trade and don’t average it. Don’t take it personally and bring your ego in between. Don’t fight the market. It’s not a one on one thing. It’s one on many.
