Stoploss

Manage your emotionsTrading requires focus. It is crucial for traders to know exactly what to do to control their emotions while trading. It is also important to know when to accept a loss and move on. Here are 10 tips from the pros to manage your emotions while trading: 1) Manage your stops carefully. A cautious approach to stops and limits will keep you from making rash decisions. It hurts to get a trade stopped out, but over time you will save money on losses. Your trading journal can give you useful comparisons on levels for stops. 2) Don’t marry your positions. It’s easy for a trader to get stubborn, and to hold on to a trade just because he ‘hopes’ it will turn around. Close down a bad trade as soon as possible, take your loss and move on. Your trading journal will suggest the next move. 3) Follow each trade with a break. Trading goes on at a rapid pace, so don’t get caught up in the action. Take a moment to think about something else, and then come back and deliberate. Now look at your trading journal to get the next idea. 4) Set a fixed point at which you stop. After three, four, five or whatever number you choose, stop for a good long break. It’s when one trade follows another that most mistakes happen. Consult your trading journal and review your strategy. 5) Don’t keep track of profit and loss. Doing the math on your earnings will only get your emotions working. Concentrate on your trading strategy, and review your trading journal to develop it. Then, at the end of the trading day, you can check out how well or poorly you did. 6) Keep your mind on the plan. Don’t let the results of a few trades change your overall strategy and approach. Stick to what you have learned and what you have planned – use your trading journal to develop your next moves. 7) Don’t confuse prudence with fear. You want to trade prudently, using logic and reason. This may make you hold off on a trade. But make sure that prudence, and not fear, is behind your decision. Fear can wreck your trading by keeping you from making a trade. Use your trading journal to see if the trade makes sense, follows previous wins, or if the trade just doesn’t make sense. 8) Watch out for greed. Greed can make you stay in a trade when you had planned to exit, hoping to milk it for a little more profit. Such trades risk turning out badly, just when you thought you were winning. Use your trading journal to judge the best exit points based on past behavior. 9) Don’t act on anger. When you’re angry, hold out, wait until reason takes hold. There is no worse trade than a “revenge” trade, in which a trader follows up a loss by jumping right back in to recoup. Consult your trading journal to get back on track. 10) Don’t give up. There comes a point in every trader’s life when it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. Don’t let yourself be intimidated. Trading is tough, but you can win.

Stop Loss HuntingInstitutional investors have a profound impact on financial instruments prices because of their large volume trading activities. They can greatly impact the price of financial instruments, however making a material impact and hence decreasing liquidity to the point where there may be no one to take the other side of the trade is not something they desire. To fill their large in size orders with better price levels, Institutional investors need liquidity, they cannot just enter a trade at once, but they split trades over time and slowly have to build a position by hunting for liquidity. One of their strategic approach and the best way to get liquidity without making a material impact of the price and get filled in better price levels is Stop Loss Hunting . A stop-loss order is an order placed to buy or sell a financial instrument when it reaches a certain price with the aim to limit loss on a position or protect profits. Where do we usually place our stop orders? For a long trade example, usually we set them just below a support level, a trend line, a longer-term moving average, previous day low or a specific ATR percentage etc, which are highly predictable. Institutional investors simply need to trigger stop loss orders of thousand of traders and since a key level is borken new traders joins by entering positions, making them take trades in the wrong direction, which as a result creates a huge supply with enough liquidity to absorb Institutional investor's demand with better prices Some examples Stop Loss houting can be observed frequently

STOP LOSS: Your saving angelWhat is a stop loss? Why do i need to use it? Why should i listen? Stop loss is designed to limit an investor's loss, it is built FOR YOU. It's like fighting a boss without a weapon, yet there are multitudes of weapon ready to be used for you beside you. Why should i use a stop loss when my liquidation is far? MARKET VOLATILITY IS AT THE HIGHEST RIGHT NOW, not only cryptocurrency, but also stocks and commodities. The world is in shambles, and with 90% of the world experiencing a loss, we want to be in that 10% profiting from the volatility. I won't explain further how to set stop losses in binance or huobi, you can always do a simple google search or watch 2 minute videos on youtube. Literally. Sorry i cannot place any links in here. I know this is short, but long posts are generally skipped by most of the newbie traders like me. Lets hope we all can be millionaires soon. May you all and i be blessed with good luck.

CTI two recent zones of entry plus one ATM with TP and SL On the chart you can see two executed zones of entry with TP and SL areas, on RSI indicator you can see that when possibility to enter the market opens, RSI tends to flatten itself. Every recent point of entry has it and at the moment you can see it happening again. Also if you look closely on a more visual information from Trend Ribbon, you can see similarities in entry zone appearance at the middle of a local downtrend. I've laid out for you expected TP and SL areas with realistic expectations of growth from 0.07$ up to 0.09$ with expected execution time period around two to three and a half days, judging by previous periods.

⚡️ Understanding Breakout Traps ⚡️If we see a pattern form that retail likes to trade, It is highly likely that this pattern may get manipulated. The reason these common patterns get manipulated is because of liquidity forming. Banks want to make sure they can create enough liquidity for themselves to get positioned nicely in the market. They do this by driving the price up/down into stop loss areas. To avoid being caught out we need to sit on our hands, wait for the stop loss hunt to occur before we go-ahead with our initial position bias.

NVDA Update, Able to reach to next resistance zone at 717-748?NVDA is doing great continuously making higher highs and higher lows in H1 time frame. It seems NVDA has defeated first proposed resistance zone and now is going to attack next one at 717-748 which is a broad one. Stochastic indicator in Monthly, Weekly and daily time frame is in overbought zone which suggests that going long is too risky now. For those who has NVDA shares my recommendation is to adjust their stop loss continuously and carefully. Good Luck everyone.

Median Has To Break!!Once the Median breaks, then we can hope for another Up Trend! Right now we have a good support on 0.25 Pitchfork (Orange Line) But if 0.25 Breaks... Then we might experience another huge fall! So keep your Stop losses a bit bellow the support (best support is the lowest low that happened recently)! leave your stop bellow it so if the price hit the support and bounced back up, you don't miss out! Usually when we see a huge fall and MACD lines drop bellow the histogram, they have to try to go back up above it! So im confident, we can expect a rise soon. but im not a god so be extra cautious and leave that stop loss there for your protection!! There are lots of good news coming for the whole market and they have to have some good effect on it! Best of luck! Be Profitable!
