Binance Coin PT 450 and higherBinance at $200 billion If Coinbase is some sort of crypto Superman, Binance is the shadowy Batman. Or perhaps Coinbase is Wonder Woman to Binance’s Catwoman. (You get the idea. We’re nerds.) Binance is deeply impressive on multiple fronts. As a centralized exchange founded in 2017, it has survived multiple in attempts to shut down bitcoin trading in China. It is multi-jurisdictional, holding redundant licenses across the long tail of small countries willing to grant it the equivalent of economic asylum. It is also aggressively inclusive, having a reputation for the widest selection of assets and a lightning quick propensity for execution. On top of that, it launched an exchange token that mattered – BNB. And it did the launch when initial coin offerings were starting to sour. The token made promises of future features, and functioned largely like a referral mechanism for affiliate trading fees. This catapulted Binance into volume that would make Coinbase blush...2020 by the Numbers Binance Exchange $15 billion in 24-hour all-time-high spot trading (up by 5 billion compared to 2019) $3.88 billion average daily trading volume (up by 36%) 184 tokens listed on Binance (up from 151) 591 trading pairs on Binance (up from 396) 7,000,000 USDT in recovered funds by Binance Customer Service for 3,109 users this year.

The strategy with +5411.8 % returns on HOT in 6 monthsA trading strategy that beats HOT's stellar returns may seem like a tough task or requiring something really complicated in order to execute. With what's presented here the goal is to demonstrate that that is not the case. You can beat holding (basically the only reason for trading) and you can do it with a simple strategy. Let's get to it. In the past 6 months just holding HOT would have brought you 757% vs Bitcoin. So if you started with one Bitcoin worth of HOT at the end of September you would have 7.5 Bitcoin today. We want to beat that by trading. This strategy also works on FET, ACT and COV. WILL POST POSITIONS BELOW - I plotted a few on the chart to know what I'm looking at. The strategy goals: - Trade the BTC pair and beat holding - drawdown needs to be limited to 25% maximum. We don't want to go through long stretches where we watch our funds shrink. Having a losing trade after a losing trade can derail discipline. - Simple so anyone can execute it and can be automated for gains while you are sleeping The strategy: After trying different approaches and removing all redundant strategy rules though trial and error we have the most simplistic and powerful strategy to beat holding HOT many times over. All you need to do is: On the 30 min chart - open a position when price is below the lower Bollinger Band (standard settings) - close the position when price is crossing up the higher Bollinger Band No stop loss or take profit - we always respect the market based close rule. The results: In 6 months this strategy returned a massive 5411.8%, convincingly beating just holding HOT. If you started trading this strategy in September with 1 Bitcoin you would now have 54.1! What's very impressive is that the maximum drawdown was only 19%. That and the massive returns gives us a Sortino Ratio of 37.2 (for comparison any strategy above 2 is considered good). The strategy opened a total of 72 positions winning 73.6%. Not only is the win rate great but the average win is at 8.5% while the average loss is 2.86% which is why the strategy is performing so well. If you trade this expect to hold a position for a day and 8 hours on average. If there's anything I can clarify please let me know.

Volume based approach to trading smaller caps - +1130.8 % in 6mThis week we are demonstrating a volume based trading approach on KIN, but it can be adapted and used to trade other projects. The goal is to have a completely volume based trading approach. With smaller projects that can be all you need to predict the next move - in fact this strategy racked in +1130.8% in the past 6 months. Compared to KIN's 475% appreciation, the result of the strategy is stellar. We'll be using OBV to gauge volume. On balance volume shows a total of the asset's trading volume and indicates whether this volume is flowing in or out. If you want to find projects that will be trending OBV is a great tool to see if there is potential. The swings on smaller market caps can be higher so adjust accordingly. WILL POST POSITIONS BELOW The goal of the strategy: - to beat holding KIN in that period - a dynamic strategy that has us in a position most of the time, exits when volume is outflowing - work with % changes in OBV rather than numbers as we want to be potentially able to use the strategy on another pair - simple to track and execute The strategy: Initially we tried to catch the breakouts by involving other indicators too, but upon experimentation they proved to be unnecessary. This was the most fruitful set-up. 1 H chart - open position when: OBV is up by 2% in last 2 days - close position when: OBV is down by 3% in last day - no SL/TP - only market based conditions - do not open a position is both the open and s are correct at the same time. If you find it difficult to manually 1track those OBV changes they can be automatically tracked in CLEOone. The results: This strategy brought +1130.8% in the past 6 months, beating holding KIN which would have you at +475%.

Beating ADA/USDT 2412.9% 1 year hodl returns with simplicityADA has been one of the best investments in the last 12 months. Holding would have racked you in a whopping +2412%. Beating this on spot requires simplicity. The strategy presented here brings in +3406% in the same period. WILL POST ALL POSITIONS AT THE BOTTOM When creating strategies around trending assets it's best to keep it simple for a plethora of reasons but mainly: 1. The more complicated your strategy the harder is to execute it correctly and stay disciplined 2. In a bull run you are trying to avoid the downside. By throwing in plenty of conditions you might miss big upwards moves that put you at peril of underperforming HODL. If you are not beating holding there's no point to trade Strategy objectives: 1. Hold open positions for days rather than minutes or hours. We don't want to be scalping assets like ADA with solid fundamentals that are already attracting attention. 2. Losing positions should be closed quicker on average 3. Willing to tolerate some drawdown but it needs to be less than 50% 4. Use technical indicators or price levels that are recognisable by the majority of traders - we want to be reacting when the masses are The strategy: It started with the investigation on which indicators, patterns and price levels ADA has been reacting to in the past. In the investigation stage we tested single candles, candlestick patterns, oscillators and variations of moving averages. In terms of timeframe, we did want to maintain swing trading, but we know most of retail is watching lower timeframes. So we focused on strong signals that don't appear often on low time-frames. The rules: On the 30 minute chart 1. Open position when candle is bullish Marubozu 2. Close position when candle is bearish Marubozu AND price is below EMA(120) To be clear we wait for the candle to form and if it is a Marubozu we act on the candle after. No stop loss or take profit as we are working with market based close conditions that are respected 100% of the time. That's it, that's all the rules! The results: Since 03 Mar, 2020 till 03 Mar, 2021 the strategy had a return of +3406% on spot. It actually had a win rate of 46.1%. Yet the average win brought in +18.5% while the average loss was only -3.09%. In a year it opened 102 positions. The max drawdown was 33.1%, which is pretty steep but acceptable for a strategy running for a year in crypto. The calculated profit factor of 7.38 (above 2 is usually considered good) gives us a good indication of justified risk. The strategy was checked on other trading pairs like ETH/USDT as well and is profitable, but please do run your testing and optimisation before going live. If I can answer any questions please let me know. Feel free to test or chnage this strategy to suit your needs.

EURNZD long valid 🇪🇺🇳🇿✅Afternoon traders Are we finally seeing some NZD weakness? Our algo thinks so and had presented a long trade on the EURNZD pair. I entered this a few hours ago and looks like it's starting to gain some traction. The trade in question is on the 30M chart and has a risk reward ratio of just over 1:2 As with all my ideas the back test results can be found at the foot of the idea for trading the pair in this manner. I don't recommend jumping on random TradingView ideas purely as I don't think that's trading with a proven edge. Lets follow this one together and for more information on the strategy drop me a message where we can show you a strategy with a proven edge.

ONE THOUSAND TO ONE MILLION IN CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADING STRATEGYDear Traders and Hopeaholics alike, as the self-proclaimed President and Founder of HOPEAHOLICS ANONYMOUS (or HA for short), yes I know you are going to laugh at this strategy... many have, but it is me having the last laugh HA HA HA... I hear you...but this works! And the strategy is FREE, no paid course, and simple to use! THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MONEY - IS TO MAKE YOUR OWN!!! Let me break it down, it is a COMPOUND TRADING STRATEGY , based on 3% minimum PROFITS with a strict 3% maximum STOP LOSS . The 3% stop loss is where some traders laugh, (HA HA but again I am the president of HOPEAHOLICS ANONYMOUS so please keep laughing it is good for the soul) When applied correctly at the cross support entry on bounce there should be a minimal loss. You MUST include the wicks when drawing your diagonal cross supports, it is again essential for this strategy to work in the high volatility cryptocurrency market. I recommend setting an OCO order, this stands for ONE CANCELS THE OTHER. You have stop-loss protection and sell order and can go about living your life. As you can see on the chart cross-supports are drawn from 2 intersecting diagonal supports crossing, this forms a stronger support zone and for this strategy to work, we need a minimum bounce of 3%, yes 3% compounded per day will give you ONE MILLION DOLLARS in around a year with the occasional 3% loss. This is not about winning every trade, it is about having the discipline and strong money management, not chasing trades midwave, having patience for the entries to come to you. 3% IS ACHIEVABLE IN ANY MARKET - BULL OR BEAR! The beauty of a bull market is we can target resistance regions, in the case study shown here this is a 50% move, broken down into dollar value, starting with $1,000, this trade would have gained you $500 in profits bringing your capital to $1,500 which would then be compounded into the next trade. This theory gets harder as your capital grows, as market liquidity can be an issue, and your funds will need to be divided into several trading positions. BUT with each minimum 3% trade you are one step closer to your MILLION DOLLAR GOAL. It can be optimal to watch indicators such as the RSI and MACD, but not essential for this system to work, when both are as shown the chart patterns will give greater trading percentages, but as I said not necessary as we are only trying to achieve 3% per day. FOR BEGINNERS - I recommend commencing paper trading your entries and exits to gain confidence without risking your capital to commence with, we want you to be successful and making $$$ ************************************************ When trading, always know you are in control 100% as you are pushing the buttons, and it is YOUR money/cryptocurrency you are trading. BUT let me tell you this... at HOPEAHOLICS ANONYMOUS and in my world... ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! SHOOT FOR THE MOON - EVEN IF YOU MISS YOU'LL LAND AMONG THE STARS, BUT AT THIS STAGE I AGREE WITH ELON AND THINK WE ARE ALL HEADED TO MARS!!! ********************************************** If you are unsure of direction or feel you are over trading I have a moto. IF IN DOUBT SIT IT OUT! There is no shame in not being in a trade. Stick to your game plan, wait for a set up to be confirmed, and ONLY take a trade if it all aligns. So please I welcome your comments and CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK - ALL HATERS WILL BE FLAGGED AND REPORTED! And remember, there is NO RIGHT OR WRONG in trading - just money management! REMEMBER IF YOU ARE PRACTICING SAFE... TRADING ALWAYS USE PROTECTION (minimize your risk, use a stop loss. Especially in Margin Trades) ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 Lisa DISCLAIMER: The Legal stuff - I'm not a financial adviser. Just a few quick thoughts - remember you sit at your computer, you push the buttons... PS make sure you give me a like, that way you get updates as I post them.... :) <3 THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MONEY - IS TO MAKE YOUR OWN!!!

🇪🇺🇨🇦 EURCAD two out of three 100 pips secured. Hello traders Before I log of for the day I just thought this would be a good opportunity to show how I've traded this pair over last 5 days. Crucial bit here however is I haven't carried out a single minute analysing the chart for this pair in any form over those 5 days!! Our strategy has simply allowed me this luxury of not having to analyse and judge where to enter and where to exit said trade. Our strategy does that for you and even prints all the required trade information next to the trade alert. I've had no emotions affecting my mind in any of this. I am simply following the trades as they present on the chart! That's how easy this is. The above isn't strictly true it's been even easier! As our strategy can be automated. Checking my open and closed trades is when I spotted EURCAD trades had closed in good profit. This the first bit of chart time spent this week on the pair in question and that's me writing this idea. What strategy am I using here? Our strategy is a trend follow strategy. The strategy is 5 individual strategies combined into one. The trade is only valid when all 5 confluences line up. At this point a trade is presented on the charts with all the necessary information printed at the side of the alert. You then take this trade manually or you can automate the strategy and let it all be done automatically. Also with having an ATR based Stop Loss & Take Profit, you'll know where and how your closing your trade every time - without having to think about it. The strategy works on any time frame and instrument and can be set to how you wish to trade. How can we be so sure on the manner we are trading works? Quiet simply by the strategy having a built in back tester. The Strategy can be set to your desired way of trading. Then immediate back test data will show if that method is profitable or not. Back test data is all we have to go on as traders and this level of data is crucial in building a trading plan. The back test results gives our traders a proven trading edge and confidence to then execute the trades on the markets. I know this pair was profitable all last year and the data for the pair can be found at bottom of the page. However the data provided in this idea is slightly different to my previous ideas as I've shown the data for the year so far. Stats are based on trading £5000 capital risking 2% per trade. We have a 21% ROI in the first 7 weeks of 2021!! Trading should be about freedom and no emotional strain. It 100% shouldn't be about excess chart time analysing for the next day! I'm off to enjoy a nice cool bottle of beer now. If you fancy that instead of still being stuck to the chart drop me a message and lets see if we can help you. Thanks for looking at the idea. Rich

CountOnCrypto - Ethereum Forecast - 10/02/2021I posted an Ethereum chart on the 7th of February and I was able to accurately trade several long positions throughout the duration of the past few days using Fibonacci levels as an idea of support, resistance and entry/ exit. I believe that COINBASE:ETHUSD will retrace and find support on one of the lower red trendlines unless we continue and break upwards through the dotted Fibonacci retracement line drawn from the top at $1848. It's all well and good if we break to the upside and go straight to 2k but I have to consider all scenarios that are reasonable! On the previous idea, we retraced to the .786 Fibonacci level around $1717 yesterday before returning to the upside. I think it is unlikely the exact same scenario will play out and given the stochastics in the short term have started to cool off I believe that the same should follow for the other indicators on higher timeframes before we reach our desired $2000+ Ethereum. Retracements are healthy as I always say, they provide market liquidity which is essential for a healthy market! I think it is more than likely this time round we will break that .786 Fibonacci retracement level and if we find support on a Fibonacci level between now and my lower red trendlines it would give me more bullish sentiment. There is also a heavy downside risk if Bitcoin dumped then Ethereum would follow so we need to be extremely cautious about how we play this. As a trader, I will sit back and wait for the best opportunity to appear; going headfirst into a position now seems overly risky for the risk to reward ratio. Thanks for following me and interacting with my ideas, I hope the market is good for you, remember to use risk management when trading; always do your own research and never risk any of your hard-earned money on the market before educating yourself on the risk!

How To Play The Markets To The DownsideI’m Markus Heitkoetter and I’ve been an active trader for over 20 years. I often see people who start trading and expect their accounts to explode, based on promises and hype they see in ads and e-mails. They start trading and realize it doesn’t work this way. The purpose of these articles is to show you the trading strategies and tools that I personally use to trade my own account so that you can grow your own account systematically. Real money…real trades. How can you make money in a market that is going down? Today I want to show you two strategies on how to do this. Shorting A Stock The first strategy is shorting a stock. So what does this mean and how does it work? Well, it means that you can sell a stock right now even if you don’t own it, and then buy it back later at a cheaper price. This is how it works. So first there is your broker, then there’s you who wants to participate and make money in a falling market. Let’s use Apple AAPL as an example. Let us pretend AAPL is currently trading at $119 & we believe that AAPL actually might go down again to $110. You can make money betting against AAPL in a falling market, and here’s how it works. Now, you want to sell AAPL but you don’t have the shares just yet. So what you would do is you borrow shares from your broker. So your broker is actually lending you 100 shares of Apple, or at least, we’ll use 100 shares for this example. Now, the price at this point doesn’t matter. He’s just giving you the shares and says, “OK, you need to give me back these shares later on.” And he is actually reserving some money from your trading account to make sure that you really give it back to him. Now, you have 100 shares, and you can do with these 100 shares pretty much whatever you want. So in this example, you would sell them. So you sell AAPL , 100 shares of them, at the current price of $119 because you believe that AAPL will go down. So how exactly do you make money? Let’s say after a few days, AAPL , in fact, does drop down to $110. Here’s what happens next. Now you are buying back AAPL at $110. So how much money do you make? If you sold AAPL for $119 and you’re now buying it back at $110, you’re making $9 per share, multiplied by 100 shares. This comes to $900 in profit. Now that you have the shares back, you, of course, have to give them back to the broker. Remember, the broker lent you the shares, so you have to give them back those 100 shares of AAPL , and when you do, the broker releases the money that they held, kind of in escrow, to make sure that you are getting the money back. Now, the beautiful thing is this is all going on in the background. This is what it would look like on a trading platform. So now, I want to trade AAPL , and I want to just sell 100 shares of AAPL . So all I do here is, it says already short minus 100 and I would sell them at the current price of $119.35. So I click review and send. And the broker is requesting almost $6,000 from me. And this $6,000 is basically the money that he’s holding in escrow to say, “All right, Markus, you have to give me back the shares.” And it is that easy. And now if I click on “Send Order,” I would sell the shares. So this is the first way because I told you that I’ll give you two strategies of how to benefit from a falling market. So this was strategy number one, shorting a stock. Buying A Put Option Now, let’s move on to strategy number two. You would buy a put option. “Put” means that you have the right to sell a stock at the strike price. So, again, we will be using the same example of AAPL that we used for the first strategy. So as I just said, we’re pretending AAPL right now is trading at around $119 and we believe that AAPL will go down to $110. This is how this would work. So this is where we are looking at an AAPL put, let’s say here, AAPL put of 119, and it is trading at around $1.80. So here is what exactly we would do. We would buy a put for $1.80. Now, this put gives us the right to sell AAPL for $119. Now, if AAPL really goes all the way down to $100, see same deal here, we actually would make $9 per stock. However, we have to deduct the premium that we paid for the option, which is $1.80. So this means here we are making $7.20 per share ($9 — $1.80). If we would trade one option, one option controls 100 shares, so this means that we are making $720 total. Which Strategy Should You Use? Now, the main difference between these two strategies is that, for strategy number two buying a put, you don’t need as much money. Remember when I went to my trading platform earlier and wanted to sell AAPL 100 shares, that my broker was reserving around $6,000 dollars in my account? Now keep this in mind. According to what my trading platform is telling me, if I want to buy this option, it would only cost me $180. So as you can see, huge difference. In the one case, the broker is reserving $6,000 with the possibility of making $900. For strategy two, buying a put, your broker is only requesting $180 and that is also the maximum amount that you can lose, and you can make possibly $720 here. Summary So this is how you can make money in a falling market. Now, very important, strategy number one, where you’re just shorting the stock and where the broker is lending you the stock, you cannot do that in a retirement account. But strategy number two, buying a put, you CAN do in a retirement account, and you can do this for any stock. Now, you might actually be bullish on AAPL , but if you look at some other stocks right now that we're in a downtrend, for example, ZM , if you say, “Oh my gosh, Zoom is crazy, during the pandemic here,” it went from, what? $50 to $500? You could think, “This is absolutely overvalued and I believe that Zoom will go down to $300” you can use one of these strategies. So you see that all these stocks that, during the pandemic benefited a lot, could actually move lower, this is how you can make money in a falling market. So now you know two strategies how to make money in a falling market, how to bet on a stock that is going down.
