A Strategy I Use for $ETH Futures in Ranging Markets
If you’ve traded $ETH futures, you know how volatile and unpredictable its price action can be. In my experience it is more volatile and unpredictable even compared to $SOL and $BTC. Other SMC-type tools like supply-demand zones, order blocks, and FVGs often fall short due to frequent overshoots, leading to false signals and stop-loss hits.
❗️IMPORTANT❗️I advise you to stay away from futures, especially if you are beginner ❗️This strategy can as well be applied to spot trading liquid coins. If you are just starting read my other article
That said, I’ve found a time-based strategy that works quite well for me, especially in ranging markets. This approach draws on concepts from ICT (Inner Circle Trader), which, in my opinion, falls into the same category of strategies as SMC (Smart Money Concepts) and others. While I don’t consider any of these approaches a “holy grail,” certain elements—like the time component—stand out as effective. In a way this strategy is just variation of support/resistance trading, which sometimes can provide more accurate entry/exit points.
How the Strategy Works
1. Mark Key Levels
Each morning, I identify the highest and lowest prices $ETH reaches between NY 18:00 and 00:00 (including wicks). I draw horizontal lines at these levels to serve as potential liquidity points.
2. Watch for Tests
During the London session or NY AM session, price often tests one of these levels. When it does, I aim to trade from that level towards the opposite.
3. Look for Volume Confirmation
Before entering a trade, I often seek volume-based confirmation. For a long trade, I like to see higher volume in green candles, and for a short trade, higher volume in red candles. This helps validate the level being tested.
4. Use Candle Patterns with Caution
While I find candle patterns often unreliable, they can still provide valuable confirmation when used in conjunction with key levels and volume. I don’t rely on them in isolation but use them as an extra layer of confidence. Combining volume signals with key levels has significantly improved my confidence in entries.
5. Second Chance Entries
Price frequently tests these levels twice—once during the London session and again during NY AM. If I miss the first test, the second often offers another opportunity for a solid entry. It also means I usually don’t exit trade if price reverses for retest. Actually it is even safer to enter on second test.
6. Accept Minor Overshoots
Price may overshoot or undershoot slightly, but in most cases, the wicks reach these marked levels. Patience and candle patterns are key here.
This strategy isn’t foolproof—especially in trending markets where it can miss entries or backfire—but it works reliably in more than half of cases during ranging conditions. I will test it in a trends and maybe write results as I am ready.
It’s important to note that this is based solely on my personal experience and opinion. As with any trading approach, standard risk management practices—such as correct position sizing and stop-loss placement—are critical to managing potential losses.
I’m actually holding a short from the 3152 right now. I believe price can overshoot to 3180 in which case I add to the trade. I will take partial profit around 3040 and 3015.
Don’t trust me blindly. Back test it with smallest possible position size. And remember it may fail if market goes out of the range to continue trend or reverses - we have stop losses to catch that. I’m aware that 20-30 trades I made following it is not enough to be completely sure, but we also should remember that market is inherently unpredictable anyway and always implement RM. But on the other hand I’m so confident that I didn’t quit from the trade today when saw $SOL getting higher even though they are correlated assets in my opinion.
One more thing, I’m trading NY hours, sometimes EU. I don’t have an opinion about how to apply it to overnight hours.
Well these experiments also indirectly prove that “smar money” are actually interested in ETH which also may mean bright future for Ethereum in a long run. 😀
Would you like me to elaborate on any details about this strategy?

📈 “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” – John Maynard Keynes.
Markets are inherently unpredictable. No matter how good our strategy is, success rates will often hover around 50/50—perhaps improving slightly to 55/45 or 60/40 with experience.
✨This is why risk management matters more than the strategy itself.
Proper risk management ensures that when we’re wrong (and we will be wrong), the losses are controlled and manageable. Equally, when we’re right, we must have the confidence to maximise profits. It’s not about avoiding mistakes—it’s about making sure our wins outpace our losses over time.

❓Stop or Hedge ❓
I’m listening to workshop / interview with three professional, educated Fx ladies traders. They’ve been asked if they stop or hedge. What do you think they answered?
2 of 3 never hedge. One hedge sometimes for short term (within a day).
But we are retail crypto traders, hold our beer and see what we can do! Right? 😂🤣

Why Retail Traders Should Avoid Hedge Mode in Futures
#quinn_tips
Hedge mode – holding both long and short positions on the same futures trading pair – might sound like a clever way to manage risk. But for beginners, it often adds more trouble than it’s worth. Here’s why:
1. Double Fees, Half the Gains: You’re essentially paying twice in fees, with no real boost to profits. Any gain from one position gets cancelled by losses on the other, which is a recipe for stagnant growth.
2. Added Complexity, Greater Risk of Mistakes: Managing two opposing positions needs solid experience and timing. For beginners, this extra complexity often leads to missteps, and one error can lead to costly results.
3. A Trap for Overtrading: Hedge mode tempts traders to keep adjusting positions, creating a cycle of overtrading and emotional decisions. These are exactly the patterns that hinder long-term success.
Why Pros Can Hedge – But Retail Traders Should Think Twice
Professional traders and institutions use hedging, but their strategies are miles away from the retail “hedge mode” approach. Market makers, for example, often rely on delta-neutral hedging strategies that make profits from price spread, arbitrage and volatility, rather than betting on price direction. Major holders and institutions might use temporary shorts or options collars around their assets, allowing them to lock in gains or control risk without having to sell their holdings.
Honest Creators Share Their Hedge Mode Results – And It’s Not Pretty
Some transparent creators on Binance Square have posted screenshots of their futures hedge positions, openly sharing their experiments with hedging. Time and again, these attempts ultimately lead to liquidation, showing that even experienced traders struggle to make hedge mode sustainable in the long run. Their transparency is a valuable lesson: hedge mode in futures isn’t a “safety net” for retail traders; it’s often a quick way to wipe out capital.
If you’re starting out, focus on simple, one-way trades with clear risk management. A straightforward strategy will build a stronger foundation – without the complexity, costs, and risks that come with complicated hedges.

❗️Do Not Take Financial Advice from Strangers
#BeginnerTrader , please 🙏. It is really painful to read how you are losing your money by listening to other people. In most cases those people are not even a scammers, often they are misguided as well.
Do not even take financial advice from me. After reading any of my articles, go and research topic further and make your own conclusions.
You will thank me later. I hope 😊

Dear readers. I hope you didn’t miss my recent article about hedging. This week I’m seeing wave of articles and posts on Square about different “smart” “hedging” strategies for us, retail traders.
I’m not saying hedging is wrong or it does not work. I’m saying it is much more complex than enabling hedge mode on futures or covering your spot holding with short.
If you try to implement these simplified “hedging” approaches you will fail, in worst case you will face liquidation, in best case you’ll miss profit. It will look like it works in a moment but such strategies will fail even in mid term. You don’t know greeks, statistics, normal and log normal distribution, derivatives and integrals. And even if you think you know them, most probably you don’t understand them as well as hedge funds and market makers and can’t apply them to finances. Moreover, you are missing essential tools used for hedging, like options write and low commissions. And you don’t have infinite supply of money like they do.
So what do we do to protect our capital?
1. Learn about Portfolio Management and money management. Diversify.
2. Don’t trade CFDs. If you want to trade them don’t use leverage. If you desperately want leverage, use 2x.
3. Apply risk management to your trades. Take profit, stop loss, don’t leave your trades unattended.
4. Enter and exit positions in stages. Don’t average down loosing trades.
5. If unsure - don’t trade. If you have headache or feel bad - don’t trade. Don’t overtrade. Don’t force trade. Don’t revenge trade. Don’t trade your hopes, trade what you see.
6. And leave complex hedging strategies to pros, we won’t be able to outsmart them.
If your capital is big and you trade big, you may need to apply complex hedging strategies. So you will learn them properly and you will see they are slightly more complex than long asset /short contract / long put.

💡Alts Holding Thoughts.
#quinn_tips
I’m selective about long-term holds – I steer clear of coins with unlimited supply 🦊. I might speculate on their price, but if I wanted to hold something unlimited, I’d just stick to USD 💵.
I won’t mention them by name, I hope you know how to DYOR 😊
Starting from the last weekend I’ve been actually selling off my alts portfolio while still in profit. I’ll buy it back soon cheaper 😎.

I describe my approach which I currently think is right for me.I’m sharing it since I think it can be helpful for other newcomers.As I learn more, my opinion on this topic may change.I started when crypto was in ranging phase, so my experience may not be applicable to strongly trending market, which I hope will come soon. I’m not really scalping, I’m not good at it.It is not a recipe about making 10x in a month.For now I consider it a learning experience. If I desperately needed to earn I wouldn’t go here, too risky.
Crypto Allocation / Portfolio
1/3 - top 3 coins $BTC $ETH $SOL ~40% - stable coins1/3 - anything else split about 50/50% between top-10 and the restFor now I use relatively small amount of funds for crypto (less then required for any VIP level on Binance), but making it too small does not makes much sense to me.
Allocation by Product
Actually, my plan is to use about 1/3 of my funds for futures / options, but after series of failures I gradually and I hope, temporarily decreased it to about 1/4.
Operations Futures / Options
I’m more active at futures due to lower fees (compared to spot). But I don’t abandon spot and other tools.Don’t risk on anyone trade more than 2% of what is currently allocated for futures/options (excluding coin-m, which I use for mid-term investment). Helps me stay in the game longer while I’m learning. 😁I don’t have a strong opinion on leverage. In futures I just rarely needed more than 2x and only couple of times 4x. In coin-m - under 5x.I trade them only in liquid markets: top 3, rarely something from top 10I don’t trade news when they arrive, but 30-60 minutes later can present great opportunitiesI rarely trade in European hours. I step into eastern hours only when I follow a trend.Sometimes I keep my day-trade overnight, protecting it with SL/TP. In around 50% cases it helps, otherwise it ends up around breakeven
ETH Futures Day Trading
I’m not going to write on technical analysis. Just few rules I follow to decide when not to trade.
Usually, if I don’t see volume >100k on 15m timeframe (ETH), I stay away and observe. In London hours I tolerate a bit lower volume.Usually it is good idea to close at the end of the day. Longs can be kept a bit longer.I usually prefer US hours.
Spot
So far I’ve been more successful in spot. I try to find opportunity to buy low. Whenever coin allocations is above what I plan for it, I start looking to sell excessive amount higher.
Sometimes I use dual-investment feature when I can wait and don’t care about few $$ price difference. It does not seem to have fees. And does not require staring at the screen.
Earn
Only marginally profitable, but since at least 50% of my funds stay passive, I let earn do its thing.
Summary
Risk management is the key.I don’t engage in risky endeavors.Spot is good and accounts for most of my profit. Honestly, if fees where comparable to futures, I’d stay mostly in spot.Futures present great opportunities, but I cannot master good win/loss ratio yet, so for now I only have a little profit there. I’ll scale allocation to futures to 1/3 again when I feel more confident there.Quarterly Coin-M futures are good for longer term trades due to absence of funding fee.I’m more successful with options long puts than with futures shorts. Not sure why. Maybe it is just me.Patience is a key. I may have 5-10 spot orders waiting their turn for days. Futures day trading requires more active management, so I don’t keep more than 2 of them simultaneously. Here and there I buy option put when I anticipate down trend.⚠️‼️ For crypto I’m using amount of funds I’m happy to lose. Actually even less. I may decide to move more funds to crypto trading later, after I learn more and achieve better consistency.

1/3 - top 3 coins $BTC $ETH $SOL ~40% - stable coins1/3 - anything else split about 50/50% between top-10 and the restFor now I use relatively small amount of funds for crypto (less then required for any VIP level on Binance), but making it too small does not makes much sense to me.
Allocation by Product
Actually, my plan is to use about 1/3 of my funds for futures / options, but after series of failures I gradually and I hope, temporarily decreased it to about 1/4.
Operations Futures / Options
I’m more active at futures due to lower fees (compared to spot). But I don’t abandon spot and other tools.Don’t risk on anyone trade more than 2% of what is currently allocated for futures/options (excluding coin-m, which I use for mid-term investment). Helps me stay in the game longer while I’m learning. 😁I don’t have a strong opinion on leverage. In futures I just rarely needed more than 2x and only couple of times 4x. In coin-m - under 5x.I trade them only in liquid markets: top 3, rarely something from top 10I don’t trade news when they arrive, but 30-60 minutes later can present great opportunitiesI rarely trade in European hours. I step into eastern hours only when I follow a trend.Sometimes I keep my day-trade overnight, protecting it with SL/TP. In around 50% cases it helps, otherwise it ends up around breakeven
ETH Futures Day Trading
I’m not going to write on technical analysis. Just few rules I follow to decide when not to trade.
Usually, if I don’t see volume >100k on 15m timeframe (ETH), I stay away and observe. In London hours I tolerate a bit lower volume.Usually it is good idea to close at the end of the day. Longs can be kept a bit longer.I usually prefer US hours.
Spot
So far I’ve been more successful in spot. I try to find opportunity to buy low. Whenever coin allocations is above what I plan for it, I start looking to sell excessive amount higher.
Sometimes I use dual-investment feature when I can wait and don’t care about few $$ price difference. It does not seem to have fees. And does not require staring at the screen.
Earn
Only marginally profitable, but since at least 50% of my funds stay passive, I let earn do its thing.
Summary
Risk management is the key.I don’t engage in risky endeavors.Spot is good and accounts for most of my profit. Honestly, if fees where comparable to futures, I’d stay mostly in spot.Futures present great opportunities, but I cannot master good win/loss ratio yet, so for now I only have a little profit there. I’ll scale allocation to futures to 1/3 again when I feel more confident there.Quarterly Coin-M futures are good for longer term trades due to absence of funding fee.I’m more successful with options long puts than with futures shorts. Not sure why. Maybe it is just me.Patience is a key. I may have 5-10 spot orders waiting their turn for days. Futures day trading requires more active management, so I don’t keep more than 2 of them simultaneously. Here and there I buy option put when I anticipate down trend.⚠️‼️ For crypto I’m using amount of funds I’m happy to lose. Actually even less. I may decide to move more funds to crypto trading later, after I learn more and achieve better consistency.

That’s why stops are triggered more often on $ETH . $SOL - much cleaner chart. And volume is consistent.

Are You Ready for Crypto Futures Trading?
#BeginnerTrader #quinn_tips #CryptoAMA
Futures trading isn’t just about potential profits; it demands disciplined money management and a solid risk approach. Here’s a quick exercise to gauge your readiness:
1. Pick a top-10 coin you’d consider trading, e.g. $BTC , $ETH or $SOL
2. Set up a hypothetical trade: decide on your entry price, stop loss (SL), and take-profit (TP) targets.
3. Mark these lines on a chart:
Entry: Yellow 🟡Stop Loss: Red 🔴Take Profit: Green 🟢
4. Note down the position size 💰you’d plan to take.
Now, ask yourself:
What’s my potential loss if the trade goes against me?What’s my profit if it moves in my favor?How much would each be as a percentage of my account?Would I feel comfortable leaving this trade unattended for a few days?
Finally, keep these drawings on the chart and revisit them later.
How does this hypothetical trade feel in hindsight? Seeing where the price went, what might you adjust next time?

I’m actually thinking that day trading $SOL or $BTC could be a better choice than $ETH . ETH is good, and I have my reasons to invest into it. But despite all 3 are quite correlated, price action and excessive volatility of ETH are unbearable. It’s still decent choice for swing trading with rather wide stop-losses as well as for options.

🥳🥳 100 Followers and a Lesson: Trust Over Hope
Reaching 100 followers is a milestone I’m grateful for 🙏🥳🎉, and to mark it, here’s a lesson that has shaped my trading: trust your strategy and abandon hope once a trade is set.
📊 In crypto, we believe the market will grow over time, despite corrections and fluctuations. But hope alone has no place in executing individual trades. Instead, trust in your strategy and risk management—especially your target profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL). Picture each trade as passing through a gate inscribed with: “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.” This mental checkpoint reminds us to commit to our strategy and avoid adjusting SLs or TPs on a whim. Just remember, whatever risk amount is at SL level, you already paid those money, say goodbuy to them the moment you click that button 💸.
⚠️Be Disciplined with Losers and Winners
Being strict with both losing and winning trades is essential for staying grounded. For losers, it means setting a stop-loss and sticking with it, rather than hoping for a turnaround. With winners, many trading strategies recommend adding to profitable positions to maximize gains. While this approach can work in more stable markets, the extreme volatility of crypto makes it a different game.
In crypto, price swings can be abrupt and significant, meaning that adding to a winning position could quickly turn against you. A once-profitable trade can go into the red just as fast. For this reason, 💡I find it more effective to take profit at my planned TP, locking in gains before the market shifts📃, and then seek out new opportunities from fresh entry points.
‼️Abandoning hope while trusting your strategy isn’t just a rule; it’s a safeguard against the emotional traps that can cloud good judgment.
Thanks to all of you following my journey—let’s stay disciplined, committed, and always on the lookout for the next solid trade.🙏

💡Do You Really Know What You’re Trading in the Futures Market❓
#quinn_tips #FuturesTrading
When you click “Buy” or “Sell” on a futures contract, are you aware of what you’re committing to? Unlike spot trading, where you simply own an asset, futures trading ⚠️ binds you to a contract with specific obligations‼️
Entering a futures position means agreeing to maintain a certain margin level at any given time. If your margin falls short, you’re at risk of liquidation or extra fees. Futures trading isn’t just about market moves—it’s a contractual responsibility.
Why It Matters?
Spot trading is simple: buy, hold, and sell. But in futures, you’re managing an agreement that demands discipline. Understanding these obligations is crucial for navigating the futures market successfully.
Curious about options? Let me know if you’d like a simple explanation of how options contracts work!
