What is IDO? Benefits and Risk WHAT IS IDO? SHOULD YOU BUY LAUNCHPAD TOKENS? What is an IDO? The initial decentralized offer is the process of selling tokens early on decentralized exchanges for new crypto projects (DEX). "IDO" - Initial Dex Offering. Decentralized intermediary exchanges help new blockchain companies sell their tokens. IDO is a common way to get people to invest in a crypto project. It works in a way that is similar to an IPO, which is when shares are sold on the stock market. IDO takes place in two steps: Tokens can only be used by a small group of people. On average, one participant gets a "allocation" of $100 to $1,000, but it depends on the project and could be more. Start of business. After being made, tokens are put in a pool where they can be sold. At this point, they can already be traded. How IDO works? With the help of decentralized exchanges (DEX), putting tokens into action is much easier. The project team issues its tokens on the chosen platform, and the exchange is already selling and transferring tokens. People buy them, which helps pay for the project. The main benefit of this method of promotion for the developer is that the process is automated. On DEX exchanges, everything is automated using smart contracts, so the developer doesn't have to deal with each sale and purchase. Here are some basic rules about how IDO works: From the start, the project is tested on the chosen DEX, and only after that can it be used for IDO. If the "exam" doesn't go well, they won't be able to enter IDO. Then, they sell a certain number of tokens for a set price. Buyers block their money, and the amount of assets they bought is given to them. After tokens are made, they are given to people (TGE). To buy, you have to be on the list of investors who have been checked out (White paper). For verification, you need either an address for a crypto wallet or the completion of tasks set by the project. The project team gets the money from the sale of digital assets, minus the money that goes into the liquidity pool. When the tokens are unlocked, they can be traded after the purchase. Coins can be locked for a few months or even a few years, depending on the project. During the attraction of investments in the project, the tokens are not liquid. Participation in IDO To join IDO, you'll need the following: - Metamask or another active cryptocurrency wallet; - Enough money in the right stablecoin to buy tokens and pay for exchange fees; - Set up the connection to the DApps. Make sure you have enough money in your account to cover the cost of transactions before you buy tokens. After connecting the DApp, you need to follow the instructions, which may be slightly different on each exchange. When a user buys tokens, he or she gets to keep them. When the generation period is over, the money is moved to the crypto wallet. Please keep in mind that the terms of the exchange say that assets may be locked for a while or used to stake. Before agreeing to the project's terms, you should carefully read the instructions. IDO's Safety Measures There are risks involved in any activity that has to do with buying assets. This is especially true when real money is used to buy virtual tokens in the crypto ecosystem. You have to do exactly what is said. A few rules to follow in IDO to stay safe: - Check out the link to sign up. Scammers can offer a fake link when they want to send money to a project. If you use it, the money will go to the attackers and not to the platform. This means you can forget about tokens. Look for strange redirects. - Think about what you want to say. Project ideas are usually posted on well-known, popular exchanges, but not always there. - Don't put money in until you've looked into the project. All of the information about the founder and his team needs to be carefully looked at. Most of the time, projects that make money are made by professionals who have done it before. - Pay close attention to the terms. Based on the rules of the exchange, tokens could be blocked for a long time. You need to know what to expect ahead of time. - Mentally say goodbye to the invested amount. The most important rule of investing is that you should only invest money that you don't mind losing if something goes wrong. IDO is not a way to make money where you have to put in money. Not because it was a scam, but because it took so long to pay back. What will happen to IDO? The rules for initial public offerings that are decentralized are always changing. There are new ways to trade coming up. The IDO (Initial Farm Offer) scheme is as popular as the IFO (Initial Farm Offer) scheme. The biggest problem with IDO is that assets have to be frozen before they can be released into the pool. So, you can only make money with tokens after a while. How many people take part in the trade determines how many digital coins the investor will get in the end. To attract big investors, basic and unlimited sale are added as new functions. IDO is one of the most popular ways to get money for a project right now, so they will become even more popular and better in the future. IDO's + - Using this method to get investments has a number of benefits: - Investors and developers don't work directly with each other. Instead, they work through an exchange, so the investor doesn't have to trust the smart contracts of the project. - Part of the money raised is put into the pools so that there will be a market for trading tokens after the sale. - To make a transaction, you don't need to give any personal information; all you need is an active crypto wallet. The project can be used by anyone. - At first, little-known tokens can attract investors, but it would be hard for them to do so through large, centralized exchanges. - IDOs let you buy a limited number of tokens, so that more people can put money into the project. This cuts down on the risks. IDO's - - Among the things that are bad about the IDO scheme, the following stand out: - Not enough good protection. The project is open to everyone. There is no guarantee that someone won't use IDO to launder money or do other illegal things. - There is no proof. Through initial decentralized offerings, it is easier to spread tokens that don't have very high ratings. Launchpads and IDO (launch pads). Should you buy launchpad tokens? Launchpad is a place where people can invest in new crypto projects. Money can be raised so that tokens can be released, developed, and improved. The most important thing that platforms do is bring together investors and blockchain developers into one crypto community. When people invest in digital assets, they want to get virtual currency at a good price. Before the project is published, it must be checked out to protect investors from fraud. The more popular and larger the launchpad, the higher the requirements are for crypto projects. At the same time, most online IDOs are just scams, and the number of these projects is growing all the time. To pick a good IDO, you have to look at a lot of information. The best way to avoid a scam is to do your own research (DYOR). After careful analysis, the choice should be based on objective criteria. he launch of a project on two top platforms at the same time is a good sign. In this case, it doesn't matter which launchpad to use. Investors. Be sure to research the investors and only trust those on the so-called "white list" if that is at all possible. Terms. Paying enough attention to the project's tokenomics is important. For example, some proposals say that you can get assets in a few years. Long-term investments in small projects are risky in a world where things change quickly. You should always think about whether the game is worth your time. If the project isn't shown on trusted platforms and investors from the Whitelist aren't involved, it's not a good idea for a beginner to take them on. You can try to learn about tokenomics by looking at the best projects. After you've mastered the details, you can try more risky launches, but only after you've done a thorough objective analysis.

AUDUSD Is About To Drop!The monthly price is in a bearish reversal candle pattern formation that is bouncing off the huge bearish head and shoulder patterns neckline, ascending trend line of the symmetrical triangle, and bearish crossed short term moving averages, giving us a signal that I call an H&S B-E.1. Usually, when this signal pops-up, a 2 level drop occurs that will end in any previous key level target. In this situation, the trend might end on the 2nd Monthly Key Lvl. Although the bearish signal seems to be strong, it might not occur. The price will reject it once it has bounced off the 7th Monthly Key Lvl to bullish breaking and retesting the Monthly H&S/Half a Bat Neckline, ascending trend line, together with the 8 (dark blue) moving average. If the price does that we will be expecting a bullish uptrend to the Monthly Neckline 2, descending trend line, 21 and 50 (red and light blue) moving averages. Moving down to the weekly, we also have 2 possible scenarios that will confirm and dis-confirm the weekly and monthly biases. Bulls: -If the weekly price bullish breaks and closes above the Mini Weekly H&S Neckline and 8 moving average, that will dis-confirm both trades and the price will be in preparation to rally to the Monthly H&S Neckline, ascending trend line, and 21 moving average to dis-confirm the monthly's bias also. So the weekly's dis-confirm will likely lead to the monthly's one. Bears: -If the price bearish closes and retests the Mini Weekly H&S Neckline on the daily time frame (see the chart below) that will trigger the 1st trade signal. If the price drops to bearish break and retest the 8th Monthly Key Lvl after the 1st trade signal, that will trigger our 2nd trade signal. Both of these trades will fully confirm weekly and monthly's bias of the long-term drop. As I stated above, the first trade will be confirmed on the daily; lets see how that will happen: The weekly's bearish head and shoulder pattern is fully visible here on the daily as a big pattern. Its price is current running below the neckline that hasn't been retested since it broke it. This makes the patterns signal not fully valid. Furthermore, we the bearish crossed short-term moving averages that don't retests made on them. This makes both the moving averages and market maker pattern signal not fully confirmed. With that said, if the price closes below the signal key levels and proceeds to bullish bounce off or retest the Mini Weekly H&S Neckline together with the short-term moving averages with a bearish reversal candle pattern close (made by the accumulation phase), that will fully confirm the daily, weekly, and monthly signals. That's it for today. I hope you found value in this trade idea. If you have a different concept in mind, feel free to share it in the comments section or through a direct message (your choice), I'd love to know your thoughts! Stay Blessed, Sphatrades.

The Truth About Trade AccuracyA critical component relating to trading success is the relationship between your win percentage and your bottom line. Many new traders hold some extremely inaccurate views when it comes to what kind of win percentage is required to generate net profit, including the notion they need a 70% or higher win percentage to achieve success. This notion is wrong and misleading. The relationship between your win percentage, your risk management, and the profit you generate from each trade are intricately related. The beauty of this post is that the backtest logic in our Olympus Cloud indicator showcases the concepts covered with real trades, which is shown under this post in the data section. The Positive Win Percentage A win percentage over 50% is regarded as a probable edge or edge. Yet, even with a 60% win rate, you can generate a net loss. How? If your average loss is $100, but you are in the habit of falling prey to your emotions and prematurely selling your winners so you only generate an average of $50 when you win, you will lose money regardless of your 60% win rate. No trader goes into a trade thinking, “Hey, I’ll lose $100 if I’m wrong and I’ll make $50 if I’m correct.” Nevertheless, random wins of $75, $25, $60, $40, $90, and $10 will average out to $50 per win. No one purposely tries to win half of what they lose, but random trading combined with random emotions produces random results. We all desire winning and making good profits when we take a trade, but as emotions come into play, things quickly change. You may take a trade that reaches $75 in profit and then decide the move looks gassed out, so you sell. On another trade, you might get scared by some volatility, or notice a resistance you neglected to spot initially and sell for $25 of profit. It is all too common to fall prey to your emotions and behave in a way you didn’t plan to. The irony is, that you will regard the $25 trade as a winner, and it will raise your trade accuracy. Let’s look at a simple example: Example: 100 total trades with 60% trade accuracy 60 winning trades at an average of $50 per win = $3,000 40 losing trades at an average of $100 per loss = $4,000 Net loss of $1,000 In the example above, your break-even point is a 67% win percentage for a whopping $50 in profit. With this type of random risk and profit management, any meaningful net profit requires a win percentage upwards of 75-80%. The psychological damage of having a higher average loss than an average win is hard to quantify, but it’s easy to feel frustration when one loss wipes out two wins. While this sounds like common sense, many, many new traders fall into the habit of random profit management and find themselves in this undesirable situation. The same theory holds true even if you let your winners play out, but you also let your losses escalate and take a few big hits to your account. In either scenario, your 60% win rate means nothing. The Negative Win Percentage In the case of a negative win percentage, you can produce a net profit even if you are correct less than 50% of the time. In this scenario, your advantage over the market is getting into trades that consistently provide large gains when you win, and by letting those winners play out fully. Furthermore, you can’t hesitate to cut your losses and keep your drawdown controlled. With this kind of win rate, you must not sell early or your entire business model falls apart. You must understand that the big winners will make up for any profit you leave on the table. Let’s look at what happens if you are correct 40% of the time, but your average win is $100 and your average loss is $50: Example: 100 total trades with 40% trade accuracy 40 winning trades at an average of $100 per win = $4,000 60 losing trades at an average of $50 per loss = $3,000 Net gain of $1,000 It is now clear that win percentage is not everything. You can make money even if you are correct on 40% of your trades as long as your average win is double your average loss. The smaller your average win compared to your average loss, the higher your accuracy must be to make a net profit. Of course, if you can maintain a win percentage over 50% while also having proper risk and profit management you will end up far ahead. Putting It Together Clearly, the best approach is to combine a reasonable win percentage of over 50% with proper risk and profit management. You must consistently let your winners play out regardless of the emotions you feel in the moment and ensure you don’t take losses beyond a certain threshold. Furthermore, scaling out of trades – selling portions of your position as the market moves in your favor – will increase your accuracy and ease your mind. By dividing your position into two or three tranches you can lock in a certain amount of profit at predefined targets and then let the final portion ride out the trend with a trailing stop-loss. Revisiting our example, let’s put these concepts together with a reasonable win percentage: Example: 100 total trades with 55% trade accuracy 55 winning trades at an average of $100 per win = $5,500 45 losing trades at an average of $50 per loss = $2,250 Net gain of $3,250 Now, that’s what you want to see! It’s more important you behave in a consistent manner and follow a predefined game plan than it is to have 80% trade accuracy. It is wise to strive for reasonable trade accuracy – 50% to 65% – and remain consistent in order to fulfill your trading potential. After you have mastered your emotions with a consistent strategy, perhaps you can raise your win percentage to mythical values like 80%. As we have covered, though, such accuracy is not required for great trading results.

Measure Reward-to-Risk Ratio (RRR) key Takeaways 1. The risk/reward ratio is used by traders and investors to manage their capital and risk of loss. 2. The ratio helps assess the expected return and risk of a given trade. 3. An appropriate risk reward ratio tends to be anything greater than 1:3. How to Measure Reward-to-Risk (RRR) ? 1. Evaluate the potential price levels for your stop loss (SL) and profit target (PT) 2. Measure the distance between your entry and your stop loss (SL). This is your “Potential Risk“. 3. Measure the distance between your entry and your profit target (PT). This is your “Potential Reward“. 4. Divide the two: Potential Reward / Potential Risk. RRR Calculation 1. Potential Risk = 66.24 - 63.73 = 2.51 2. Potential Reward = 63.73 - 54.97 = 8.76 3. RRR = Potential Reward / Potential Risk = 8.76/2.51 = 3.49

EXIT STRATEGIES: Money ManagementHey traders, Today I wanted to dive into exit strategies. A lot of you will already have a very clear understanding of what an exit strategy is and how you usually go about it. Most of you are probably automatically thinking of stop losses and take profits, which is fair enough. Today however, I wanted to dive into some more advanced techniques. I want to have a look at what you need to be thinking about prior to entering a trade, during the trade, and then finally when it's time to get out. Yes, we use stop losses. Yes, we use take profits. But I know from my experience personally, it's very rare that I actually get my full stop loss hit. I'm usually out of the position prior to those levels. This all falls under money management, which is by far the most important aspect of your trading ability that you need to understand. We are money managers as traders. When we are risk on, we have money live in the markets. It is our job to manage it accordingly. Win or lose, the success comes down to if we are managing position and risk correctly. Now, this blog is a little bit more directed to our day traders or people who are constantly having positions with the whole idea of set stop losses and take profits. For investors, it does differ a little bit and I'll touch on that now. When it comes to buying a stuck or an asset, it is very easy come up with a trade idea. You find the idea, you buy, simple. What makes it really difficult is actually finding the appropriate time to sell. That's what actually makes the good investors. Because equity, yes, it is still extra cash in your pocket, but you don't get that cash actually in your pocket until you have hit that sold button and realized your profits. My biggest outlay to anyone in any type of investing is have an exit plan prior to entry. Have a minimum requirement, have a maximum requirement, and what to do in those scenarios. I've seen it many many times before, especially with the recent cryptocurrency boom that people just get in expecting it to go up with no exit strategy, so they never exit because it's constantly moving up. Then, Unsurprisingly, the market pulls it back in and they lose all of their equity profit. They find themselves trying to close out of their position before it's a big loss. Always have an exit plan. Now lets dive back into more of the day trading market. When it comes down to exits of the market. Most people use stop loss orders or take profit orders. These are orders you can set on your brokerage platform, which essentially, when that asset reaches a certain price, the server will read that and automatically pull your position at your requested price. These are the most common ways to manage risk. It's a very beginner friendly. It's very easy to find an area where to put your stop loss, put your stop loss, put your take profit, walk away and let the trade unfold. However, today, let's get a little bit more advanced. There are a few questions you need to ask yourself prior to entering a position. Regardless of looking at the profit potential (which is the biggest pull). Start associating yourself with the risk you are taking in order to open this position. The first question I want you to ask yourself is, how much are you willing to risk on this trade? Risk is an important factor when investing right to determine your risk level. You need to understand what is not going to affect or hurt you, but still generate enough profits to make it worthwhile in your eyes. Finding that medium balance of what you can handle when you go and drawdowns is going to be highly beneficial to risk the right amount and not go emotionally insane every time you're in a position. Once you understand what dollar value you're willing to risk, then you just position size accordingly and have a stop loss on your chart and there you will know your maximum risk. That is what you are going to lose if all goes against you on this position. Once you have the basic understanding of how much you're risking per position, you want to try and avoid hitting that stop loss at all costs. So while you're managing your position (this is something I like to do personally) if everything is going against you, it's usually a sign that it's going to continue that way. Yes, statistically, there's going to be sometimes it may be reverses. That's the beauty in backtesting your strategy so you have an in-depth understanding on what it is capable of. I look to start scaling out of my position, which means selling off my position size as we move towards the stop loss. As I mentioned above, it's very rare that I actually hit my Max loss stop loss statistically. Looking back at my journal, I've actually scaled more than 75% of my position out prior to hitting a full stop loss if not all of the position. This is giving me an incredible advantage when it comes down to statistics, because while I can still hit a full take profit and a full position in profits. But I am not hitting a full loss, so my risk to reward has actually rapidly increased, even though it's still very similar when I'm entering the trade. The second question I want you to ask yourself is, where do you want to get out? Where is your take profit? Where is your stop loss? But also look within those areas where realistically are key indications on where this price is going to move. Do you have to get through four or five support levels to reach your take profit? Should you start looking at scaling out some of the position in the profits around those levels? The more you have to go through, the harder it is going to be to actually achieve the profit. Have an exit plan. Where are the levels you want out? And finally, and this is probably the biggest one, how long you are planning on being in the trade? If you're trading down on the five minute chart, do you really want to hold this trade for two days? If it takes that long, do you only want to be trading during this market hours? Where do you want to cut this trade? This is really important because most people, especially the set and forget traders, they don't have a time limit on their trades. They allow it to just run over multiple sessions. But The thing is, the longer it runs, the less than analysis becomes true. Have a look at the time frame you're trading. If you're investing, look at the yearly outlook. How long do you really want to be holding this stock before it actually does something? I know we're not options traders. Some of you, maybe, but it is a good idea to have kind of a time scheme that you don't want to be holding any longer than. I personally look to start scaling out of the position, taking risk off the longer the trade takes, especially if I'm trying to trade on volatility. These are three questions to ask yourself and a little bit of tips and tricks when it comes down to scaling an managing risk on a more advanced level. Remember, as traders and investors, we are risk managers. We are money management specialists. Our job is to not lose money. When we stop losing money, profits will come in. Focus on your risk, focus on what you can afford to lose, and then focus on your positions and try and stop yourself from ever hitting that Max stop loss that you give yourself. I wish you all success! -Jordon Mellor
