How To Calculate Risk/Reward To Trade & Invest In Crypto MarketHi everyone: Today I want to make this educational video on how to calculate your risk/reward in trading and investing in the cryptocurrency market. Many newcomers in the industry are not aware of the importance of risk management. So today let's give out different examples of them on how to properly calculate the $, %, and setting the SL/TP. This video is intended to help traders and investors to understand how to calculate the amount to risk per trade, or per investment purpose. I will give different examples of going long and short in trading, as well as buying coins for the purpose of investment. Doesn't matter what crypto broker exchange you use, this calculation/formula will work, you will just need to do some simple math to get to the right numbers. Example 1: Want to go long on BTC in a trade Scenario: Trading Account $12,000 Risk 1% of your trading account Want to go long on BTC when price hits $70,000 You want the Stop Loss @$66,000, and a TP @ $80,000 Calculation: Calculate your 1% of the trading account: $12,000 Account x 0.01 $120 per trade Divide the $ you willing to risk to the SL amount $120 / $4000 = 0.03 Set your entry order or market order for 0.03 BTC @ $70,000 price 0.03 x $70,000 = $2,100 (This is the amount you will need in your trading account to execute this position. If you have leverage then its less $ needed) Set your SL at $66,000 If price hits your SL, your order would be 0.03 BTC x $66,000 = $1,980 $2,100 - 1,980 = $120 = 1% of your account Set your TP at $80,000 If price hits your TP, your order would be 0.03 BTC x $80,000 = $2,400 $2,400 - $2,100 = $300 = 2.5% of your account Example 2: Want to go long on ADA in a trade Scenario: Trading Account $800 Risk 1% of your trading account Want to go long on ADA when price hits $2.30 You want the Stop Loss @1.70 Calculation: Calculate your 1% of the trading account: $800 Account x 0.01 = $8 per trade Divide the $ you willing to risk to the SL $8 / $0.60 = 13.34 Set your entry order or market order for 13.34 ADA @ 2.30 price 13.34 x 2.30 = $30.68 (This is the amount you will need in your trading account to execute this position. If you have leverage then its less $ needed) Set your SL at $1.70 If price hits your SL, your order would be 13.34 ADA x $1.70 = $22.68 $30.68 - $22.68 = $8 = 1% of your account Set your TP at $4.00 If price hits your TP, your order would be 13.34 ADA x $4.00 = $53.36 $53.36 - $30.68 = $22.68 = 2.83% of your account Example 3: Want to go short on TRX in a trade Scenario: Trading Account $54,000 Risk 1.5% of your trading account Want to go short on TRX when price hits $0.11 You want the Stop Loss @ $0.13 Calculation: Calculate your 1.5% of the trading account: $54,000 Account x 0.0150 = $810 per trade Divide the $ you willing to risk to the SL $810 / $0.02 = 40,500 Set your entry order or market order for 40,500 TRX @ 0.11 price 40,500 x 0.11 = $4,455 (This is the amount you will need in your trading account to execute this position. If you have leverage then its less $ needed) Set your SL at $0.13 If price hits your SL, your order would be 40,500 TRX x $0.13 = 5,265 $5265 - $4455 = $810 = 1.5% of your account Set your TP at $0.07 If price hits your TP, your order would be 40,500 TRX x $0.07 = $2,835 $4,455 - $2,835 = $1,620 = 2% of your account Example 4: Want to buy ETH to hold for long term as investment Scenario: Investing Account $20,000 Risk 10% of your investing account Want to buy ETH to hold for long terms Want to enter when price hits $4,900 Calculation: Calculate your 10% of the investing account: $20,000 Account x 0.10 = $2,000 per investment Divide the $ you willing to risk to the price you want to enter $2,000 / $4,900 = 0.4082 Set your entry order or market order for 0.4082 ETH @ $4,900 price 0.4082 x $4,900 = $2000 (This is the amount you will need in your investing account to execute this buy.) You want to lose no more than 25% of your original $2,000 investment. $2,000 x 0.75 = $1,500 $1,500 / 0.4082 = $3,674.67 Set your alert and SL at $3,674.67 If price hits your alert/SL, your order would be 0.4082 ETH x $3,674.679 = $1500 $2,000 - $1500 = $500 = 25% of $2,000 You want to gain about 50% of your original investment before selling. $2,000 x 1.50 = $3,000 $3,000 / 0.4082 = $7,349.34 Set your alert and TP at $7,349.34 If price hits your TP, your order would be 0.4082 ETH x $7,349.34 = 3,000.00 $3,000 - $2,000 = $1,000 = 50% of $2,000 Example 5: Want to buy MATIC to hold for long term as investment Scenario: Investing Account $1,500 Risk 20% of your investing account Want to buy MATIC to hold for long terms Want to enter when price hits $2.25 Calculation: Calculate your 20% of the investing account: $1,500 Account x 0.20 = $300 per investment Divide the $ you willing to risk to the price you want to enter $300 / $2.25 = 133.34 MATIC Set your entry order or market order for 133.34 MATIC @ $2.25 price 133.34 x $2.25 = $300 (This is the amount you will need in your investing account to execute this buy.) You want to lose no more than 50% of your original $300 investment. $300 x 0.50 = $150 $150 / 133.34 = $1.1249 Set your alert and SL at $1.1249 If price hits your alert/SL, your order would be 133.34 MATIC x $1.1249 = $149.99 $300 - $149.99 = $150.01 = 50% of $300 You want to gain about 75% of your original investment before selling. $300 x 1.75 = $525 $525/133.34 = $3.9373 Set your alert and TP at $3.9373 If price hits your TP, your order would be 133.34 MATIC x $3.9373 = $525 525 - $300 = $225 = 75% of $300 Any questions, comments and feedback welcome to let me know.

Chain Link is in hot trendingHi everyone Link has been moving in a ranged accumulation zone for awhile and I assume it has strong chance to move upward soon. it doesn't mean we would have strong upward pressure for now, we may even see a small correction back into our accumulation zone and even test our dynamic support trend line before boost upward and it really depends on BTC action in coming days. but for near term to mid term I can see we will have a good chance for keep moving upward. lets see if you want to get long position just don't forget setting trade based on proper money management. Enjoy the market

Gold consoldating higher prior to NFP?OANDA:XAUUSD typically has little to no movement the day before NFP (non-farm payroll) So I wouldn't expect large moves today but I do see a perfect breakout pattern today and the larger timeframes show the momentum towards the bullish side. Also gold has been consistently bouncing between these price ranges with the current range being on the low side. I would recommend finding a good entry then closing out today before NFP because there's usually a stop hunt along with a huge push. Keep your eyes open and as always use a Stop Loss This is the breakout pattern I mean

BTC/USD Binance.US - This is why I do not use stop losses.. I must start by saying that I believe Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investing offers the greatest opportunity for the common man to build wealth to have ever existed in the history of the world. Yet, it is still an endeavor that must be entered into cautiously and with research if one is to be successful. The Daily Chart for BTC/USD on (the pathetic excuse of an exchange) Binance.US, serves as a teachable moment that should not be ignored. This chart demonstrates that if you cannot go to sleep peacefully without having a stop loss in place then you may need to reconsider being in this game. The traditional methods of trading securities that were used in the regulated stock markets of the world and which subsequently made a lot of the famous traders of old very rich, predated high frequency trading and algorithmic trading bots on these mostly unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges. Yet, these outdated methods are currently being peddled and taught by the get-rich-trading-crypto-gurus today as the "secrets to crypto trading profits", despite this being 20th century methods that will cause you to lose your shirt if adhered to when trading crypto. Any endeavor to read and learn about crypto trading will, almost without fail, lead to a regurgitated list of the same old trading clichés. One such example: the so-called number one rule of trading. Always use a stop loss. The number one rule of successful trading is undoubtedly to limit your losses. This may be true, but if you are doing that with a stop loss on an exchange then you are asking to be robbed. Yes, you have to know when to cut your losses and move on, but unfortunately, because of the nature of swimming these dangerous financial waters, the sharks in the crypto space will eat your lunch, steal your crypto at bargain prices and laugh as you weep over what could've been. The order books are open. Anybody with a desire to do so can launch a trading "bot" using an API on most any crypto exchange. If that person or entity happens to have enough capital to clear the buy or sell side of the order books of an exchange, then they are free to do so. Once this is done, your crypto is gone at a bargain price with the classic stop loss shake out. Which is why if I cannot hold it without a stop loss, then I don't need it. If a drop in price doesn't present an opportunity for me to buy more, then I don't need it. If I'm not confident that it will be around in 2-5 years from now, then I don't need it. To limit losses, set a price alert on Tradingview, CoinGecko, or your exchange watchlist. If you are afraid it will drop too much before you can act on it, or if it suffers from a lack of volume and thus has a lack of liquidity, then perhaps it's best to HODL or leave it be. If you don't know what any of this means, then that could be a sign that you may need to do a little more due diligence.

How To Set Stop Losses And Take Profits using EMA StrategyWait for price to break and close below a level. In this example, price closed below support level and turned resistance. Next, wait for price to retest level as new resistance. The retest in this example formed a candlestick that created a wick which protruded through Horizontal Resistance Level, EMA 20 Resistance Level, and Diagonal Trend Resistance Level. For short trade opportunity, set stop loss above EMA 20 Price Level and Rejection Candlestick High Price. Set take profit at previous swing low.

Education: Three Day Trailing Stop Rule (3DTSR)ICEUS:KC1! I learned a handy tool used to manage risk under certain circumstances - the Three Day Trailing Stop Rule (3DTSR) In this example, I actually fade the 3DTSR, but being able to execute different styles of trading strategies reflects an understanding of them, while acknowledging that no system or strategy used in markets will be perfect. Three Day Trailing Stop Rule: There is one initial criteria for the 3DTSR to become active - Either Upon Pattern Breakout - to limit initial risk/add to position at lower relative risk OR Upon Reaching 70% of Target from Breakout as a Trailing Stop In an Uptrend, to exit a position using the 3DTSR Day 1 is the High Day, defined by a new price high - at this point, we are not aware of the setup Day 2 is the Setup Day, defined by a closing price (end of day) that is below the low of Day 1 - at this point, the trigger is active Day 3 is the Trigger Day, as the stop is placed below the low of Day 2 The 3DTSR can also be used as an entry strategy, as shown in the chart here. Day 1 = High Day Day 2 = Setup Day, where price closed below the low of Day 1 Instead of placing a stop below the low of day 2, here I fade the 3DTSR by ADDING to a long coffee position, and jamming the stop to below the low of Day 2 Day 3 = The low of Day 2, or the trigger, is never penetrated, and price opens a cent higher If using the Trigger as a stop, or below the low of Day 2, and using the Triangle shown to imply a measured target, this is a whopping 20 to 1 trade setup. Do you have any profitable trading systems or strategies?

HOPEFULLY BULLS WILL STRIKE IN AND HIT MY TARGET.The first question i always ask myself is "who is in control of price?" that way i can analyze my trrading from a price action point of view. So, who is in control of price on this one? First we have a bearish trend followed by a tiny pull back and then an indecision candle which tells us that the bearish power might transitioning to the bulls. Of course i might be wrong, but that is why i keep my Risk/Reward a 2:1 minimum, that way i only have to be right 40% of the time in order to be profitable. "Trading is not about being right most of the time, its about being profitable" - Anonymous Trading Details: Time Frame: 8hr Entry: Above the high of the indecision candle Stop loss: A few pips below the Indecision Candle Risk/Reward: 2:1 Account Risk: 2%

MONEY: IN SMALL TRENDSIn my own methodology I've shown in other charts that, it doesn't matter which time frame you make your money. I even showed a 3 min trend on one occasion. All this true is trend-following - which is different to following a moving average of some sort. The ATR line reacts differently to price fluctuations. The important thing is to minimise losses. This chart is a 15 min time frame. It's of little value now because the start of the trend is where you want to be. But for the future I'm showing where the entry point is. Similar strategies can be used on other time frames. 1. See the trend breaking down and fighting to stay afloat. 2. See the double top on the 15 min time frame. 3. See price collapse. 4. See the rebound to 0.5% fib. Experience is required with all this. In this scenario the stop-loss could have been just above 0.618. That was an unlikely rebound in this particular scenario because price was struggling already. (In other scenarios where price isn't struggling as much I've seen retracements to 0.76 and above). Please note carefully: true trend following is a higher risk strategy but also an exceptionally higher reward strategy. It loses far more often than other strategies. But numbers of losses mean little. Why? It's the aggregate of the minority of big gains well outweighing minimised greater numbers of small losses. It certainly isn't for 'everybody'. In he captioned scenario, nobody knows how far that 15 min trend will go. NOBODY! For trend-followers in this scenario, the exit would be the amber line. In other words, the market shows the entry point and the exit point. That's very scary. See same strategy on the lowly 3 min time frame below Disclaimers : This is not advice or encouragement to trade securities on live accounts. Chart positions shown are not suggestions intended to assure you of an advantage. No predictions and no guarantees are supplied or implied. The author trades mostly trend following set ups which have a low win rate of approximately 40%. Heavy losses can be expected if trading live accounts.

When/How to move SL to BE and to profit in a running trade ?Hello everyone: Today I want to discuss a topic in Risk Management, specifically on when and how to move your STOP LOSS to BREAKEVEN or in PROFIT when you have a running profit trade/position. In an impulsive phase of the market, we want to make sure to protect our entry as well as secure profits. In this example of EURUSD, I managed to get 2 entries in, and manage it to my best ability and secure profits Trade close down for +7.9% profit Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: This is a topic that will have various answers across traders, as this is certainly up to each individual trader’s strategy, style, and management approach. So understand there is no right or wrong, “holy grail” kind of decision. It's up to you individually as a trader. I will share my management, and why I choose to go with these types of approaches, and you can certainly use them to your advantage to tweak/modify them to fit your strategy. Few things to keep in minds are: 1. Moving the SL to BE or/and in profit is a way to protect your entry, as well as secure profit. 2. Sometimes moving the SL too early may “choke” the price, and you can get stopped out for BE or small profit. Then watch the price take off in your desired direction, which can create negative emotion. 3. Whereas sometimes if you don't move SL to BE or in profit, you can watch a trade that hits 3:1 RR or more, end up reversing down, passing your entry point and to your actual SL of -1%, which can also create negative emotion. 4. No perfect scenario or management when it comes to the aspect of trading, as every trade is unique, and different outcomes may happen, since the market itself is not perfect, and can do whatever it wants to do. Now, I will explain my own management when it comes to moving SL to BE or/and in profit. Certainly this is NOT the only way, nor it will be the best way, but over the years of backtesting & chartwork have given me reassurance on these types of management ways. I will then show some real live examples on the trades that I closed down, and how I manage them as well. CADJPY - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: GBPJPY - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: CHFJPY - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: NASDAQ - AUDNZD - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: First, a general rule of thumb for me. IF the price has hit about 1:1 RR or so, and has broken past the previous recent lows, I will move my SL to BE. There is no exception in this rule. Again, I explained earlier that sometimes this will help you to protect your entry when price reverses, and sometimes it will choke the price. In this case, I would rather take a BE first, and re-look for entry again in the same position, as long as the bias and the price action is still valid on both the higher time frame and lower time frame. Second, once the entry is in some profit, say 2:1 or higher, I generally will move the SL up to about +0.5% profit or so. Just want to secure a little profit while not choking the price entirely. Third, once the entry is in 3:1 profit, then I will move my SL to +1% profit. This is where I generally will decide whether I should take full profit here, or hold the trade for a mid-long term if the higher time frame has given me the bias. Fourth, since the trade has already been in 3:1 profit or higher, generally we can expect a continuation correction to form now after the impulse phase. If it's a smaller correction and price isn't reversing up sharply right away, I will move my SL to about +1.5% profit, set my alert above the continuation correction and observe the development of the correction. This is generally a point where I can decide to hold the trade longer, or if it reverses up from the continuation correction, then exit the trade for profit. Fifth, if we start to see a possible reversal development, then I will move down my SL to the recent swing highs/lows, or just above the reversal correctional structure, and will let the trade tag me out for profit if it reverses. Any questions, comments or feedback welcome to let me know :) If you enjoy these contents, and the educational lessons are helpful, please press like, subscribe and follow for more. Jojo
