TRADING TIPS That SERIOUS Traders Know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Trading can be like... following a diet🥨
You need a clear plan, but also some space for cheats. If you're prone to jump-in trading, have some funds available for it - trading should be fun! Take that risk. But plan for it. If you've spent your 10% high risk capitol for the month/quarter, then that's that.
- Look for Fractals
Fractals in higher timeframes such as the weekly are often reliable, as it points towards the cyclic nature of the market.
How did I make +118% on SOL? By following a fractal from the previous bull market:
- Learn Elliot Wave Theory
From the DOGE chart, we can see that Point 5 is not going to happen. (not that it won't happen at all, but just that it won't happen for the short term). How do I know this? ...Elliot Wave Theory. The EWT tells us that if point 4 retraces beyond point 1, the bullish impulse is invalidated. We are now more likely to slow bleed down to Point 2.
- Look for Reliable Patterns
Sometimes, certain patterns can be seen moments before they are finally "finished" forming. It's important to know the rules of these patterns, and trade reactively.
I knew where to short ETH. How did I know? The M-Pattern:
Deep Dive guide on Pattern-Trading here:
- Learn to Manage Risk with Leverage
Let's not duck around - Trading is risky but crypto trading is VERY RISKY. Make sure you have a strategy.
- Learn To Trade the Rotations
There's a secret pattern in the relationship between Bitcoin, Bitcoin Dominance and altcoins by market cap. Make sure you understand it before you take a leveraged trade:
- Pick a few Technical Indicators and STICK TO THEM
It's tempting to use whatever new indicator is the flavor of the day... but how will you ever learn the secrets? Technical indicators have "secrets". They look different on different markets. For example, SOL can be "Extremely Overbought" without correcting much for an extended period of time, where as Bitcoin usually corrects when the "Extremely Overbought" signal flashes. (This is an observation from using one indicator on many charts).
Personally, I love Bollinger Bands, Moving averages and Cryptocheck START V3.5 as my combo indicator.
That's how I called the beginning of the new Bullish season in November 2023:
It's important to note that none of these strategies are 100% fail proof. Even the best Wallstreet traders average on 58% per annum.
Stop trying to follow people who claim to make +1000000....% per annum. Often, these guys have lots of money to lose, in other words it's more a fly-by-night than studying charts for consistent wins.
As long as you're making more than interest rates from a fixed deposit at the bank - you're winning!

XAUUSD Weird day of price & Asian session outlook Good evening gold gang!! hope you are all well
Very strange day of price where we saw ranges around the 2002 trapping traders both sides .. including me. I followed my plan and went long to be stopped out for a minor loss after managing risk. The rest of the day was much the same and my orders were not trigged (thankfully)
Onto tomorrows sessions, we have big news tomorrow! so i would expect price to do much of the same until then. I have included my revised buy and sell prices. Candle closures required for both. I may wait until after the news personally just to be sure of direction.
DXY ranging the 102 key level also so the market is certainly tentative awaiting the news.
Thank you so much for all the new follows and likes on my posts .. means alot! Official Gold Gang members
Have a great evening

The Most Underrated Technical Analysis Tool - Element of Time !Market timing is an essential tool whether you're a day-trader, portfolio manager and/or long-term investor. I present to you the most underrated technical analysis tool in the space of retail trading. The purpose of this short educational webinar is to open your eyes to something you don't hear about abundantly because it is the most disregarded aspect of trading in my opinion.
As an intraday trader, my main focus is on the speculation of "the next daily candle". However, I first analyze and project on "the next weekly candle". Each weekly candle is broken into 5 individual daily candles, and each daily candle is broken down into 3 main market sessions - namely, Asia, London & New York Session.
You'll find that my main focus in this lesson is on the day in which you find a lower / upper wick being created on the weekly candle. More often than not, "Tuesday" typically forms the low of a bullish weekly candle, and the high of a bearish weekly candle.
I encourage you to mark out the Open of your week, and highlight the swing point on the Tuesday of each week. I promise, you'll start implementing the "Element of Time" in your trading toolbox.
Of course this is not a standalone tool, however is helps greatly with the determination of your weekly directional bias. It will also assist with your trade and risk management.
It is to up to you to put the work in and infer whatever information you can from this little teaser of an illustration.
Let this open up the opportunity for you to exponentially elevate your trading skillset.

Crypto Market crash over? BUY THE DIP!Yesterday evening, just as the crypto market day was coming to an end with some bullish momentum, an unexpected tweet from Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, caused the crypto market to crash the hardest and fastest in the shortest time. This caught most investors off guard and many crypto traders have had a really bad day today.
But what if I told you that I am actually closing today on a BULLISH note. My crypto portfolio has gained about 10% today. Now as hard as you think that might be or as lucky as you think I am, I am here to tell you that it really takes nothing much. I will explain it briefly but effectively below.
The most important steps to gaining on any day and especially CRASHES are quiet simple, some of the most important steps are:
- Diversifying your portfolio into many different crypto coins, but only coins that are known to be somewhat stable OR move in a correlation with Bitcoin. The variety of the coins you choose are up to you, but I have previously posted a few Alt coins that I trade. More to come soon!
- If you are trading with or without specific budget, always make sure to keep enough extra cash to buy the dip. Buying the lows can actually help recover losses quicker and allows you to aim for higher profits overtime.
- I personally believe that the following RULE is the Golden Rule and should never be broken. Most beginners do not have enough experience and do not know how to properly deal with profits. The most important thing a trader can do before investing is set a specific target they want to reach before starting. Speaking from experience, not having a specific target can ultimately make you hungrier for more, leaving you paralyzed and unable to hit the sell button, hungry for more. This can be disastrous as when the market quickly rises, a quick drop is inevitable, stay aware of your goals and follow them.
- Do Not let FOMO eat you up,
FOMO: Fear of missing out
The very best traders always miss out on opportunities. It is very important to understand that you will not be able to grab 1% of all opportunities in the market. The most important thing to focus on is to make the most of the opportunities in life.
I hope you found this helpful, a like would really be appreciated. I will not suggest following me because you should be intelligent enough to know that following me is the right choice.
