You are way to far from the light on this one. I’d close it and wait until the markets settle before making a move.

Beware of weekend volatility! With current market conditions, I recommend avoiding new long positions—even spot—until a clear bottom is confirmed with signs of a market shift for the asset. I’ll keep you updated on my moves. Be wise and stay safe! 😊

Regardless, I hope everything works out for you, and stay positive.

If you remain focus my friend, you’ll crush it, just don’t keep making the same mistakes. I share some content about crypto and my own strategy, you can always check it out

You also have to adjust your expectations and change gears. Do a 180 on your strategy and overall trading approach.

Sorry to hear that. I think you may be approaching your trading strategy a bit wrong. I agree with your sentiment of not giving up but

I also don’t have a SL in my Spot hodls. Good luck with Ripple. 😊

Hahaha. Good one. You made me laugh. Your approach definitely works when not trading futures, with leverage.

Bitcoin Update: The Cruel Break Unfolds

As I mentioned in yesterday’s update, the biggest concern was the potential trendline break on $BTC—and here we are. It happened, exactly as anticipated, and “cruel” is the only way to describe it.

Now that $98K support is lost, the brief upside move was merely a bearish retest of $98K before the price turned lower. All signs point to $92K as the next target. Beyond that, $85K comes into play, a more significant level due to its untapped nature. While it’s less likely to be hit, the market is unpredictable, so we can’t rule anything out.

For now, I’d still avoid opening new positions. As I highlighted last time, $BTC.D (Bitcoin Dominance) still has room to run—far from being done. The next key resistance sits at the 60% level, and if $BTC drops impulsively, expect another 20% decline in altcoins as $BTC.D surges well beyond 60%.

While this might sound grim, it’s actually an opportunity for those patient enough to wait. Once $BTC.D spikes, you’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to accumulate quality altcoins ahead of the next rally. Remember, we remain bullish on the long-term as long as BTC holds above the $90K daily low.

I’ve taken a lot of heat over the last two weeks for urging profit-taking, but here we are—40% down on most assets. Let me say it again: a major spike in $BTC.D (potentially up to 70%) has historically been a catalyst for an altcoin rally. But surviving that drop won’t be easy—it’s going to be ugly, and I won’t sugarcoat it. My goal is to prepare you, not to comfort you. I told you to beware all those crypto gurus urging you to buy now… they are clueless or dishonest. Wait for the bottom with clear signs of reversal, only then you buy “ strong coins “.

Stay disciplined, and trade safely. The opportunities are coming, but only for those ready to seize them. If you want to grow with me, click here to copy my trades and 💰🚀. Cheers!

Revenge Trading: The Rebound that Breaks You

Eight years ago, one of the hardest things happened to me—I separated from my ex-wife. I had two beautiful daughters, and the breakup was tough. My friends, trying to ease the pain, introduced me to new women. But after more dates than I care to count, I realized those distractions didn’t fill the void. What I needed was time to heal, to reset my heart and mind.

Revenge trading is no different. After a loss, traders often make emotional decisions, jumping into trades to recover quickly, much like I did with those rebound dates. But those impulsive moves only lead to more losses, frustration, and regret.

Why revenge trading happens :
• Emotional Reactions: Revenge trading happens when traders react emotionally to losses, making impulsive decisions to recover fast.
• Lack of Discipline: Straying from your plan after a loss can lead to bad decisions.
• Ego and Pride: Trying to prove you were right after a loss clouds judgment, tempting you to take unnecessary risks.

Break the cycle with these steps:
1. Adopt a probabilistic mindset—losses are part of trading.
2. Predefine your risk before every trade.
3. Stick to your plan—consistency is key.
4. Use emotional control—mindfulness keeps you grounded.
5. Reflect and learn from each trade.
6. Accept losses as lessons, not failures.

Just like in relationships it takes time to heal, trading requires patience. If you’re stuck in revenge trading, you have to bro that cycle. Also, if you want to trade without the emotional burden, copy trading with me helps you manage risk and avoid impulsive decisions. Click here to copy and 🚀💰. Let’s stay focused on long-term success. Cheers and happy trading!

Stop the Panic: How to Set a Stop-Loss Like a Pro

We’ve been talking lately about Stop Loss at length and how crucial it is, because we’ve all been there: the market moves against you, your heart races, and you think, “Why didn’t I set a stop-loss?!” Don’t make that mistake again.. Here’s your step-by-step guide to setting a stop-loss that protects your profits and minimizes your losses.
1. Know Your Risk Tolerance
Before entering, decide how much you’re willing to lose—1-2% of your capital per trade is a solid rule.
2. Use a Crypto Position Size Calculator
Before opening any leveraged trade, always use a position size calculator to assess your risk properly.
3. Set Take Profit Targets First
Before setting your stop-loss, set clear take profit targets. Once your first take profit hits, move your stop-loss to break-even to protect yourself.
4. Place Stop-Loss Based on Technicals
Use support and resistance:

• Buy: Stop-loss below support.
• Sell: Stop-loss above resistance.

5. Use a Fixed Dollar or Percentage Amount
For precision, set your stop-loss based on a fixed amount or percentage, like 2% of your trade.
6. Trail Your Stop-Loss for Protection
Once the market moves in your favor, trail your stop-loss to lock in profits as the price rises.

Final Tip: The stop-loss is your safety net, not a crutch. It’s there to give you the confidence to trade with discipline. Want to trade smarter with proven strategies? Click here to copy my trades and 🚀💰.

Get Your Act Together: The Power of Self-Discipline in Trading

When I first started trading, I thought my intuition would be the cornerstone of my success. Spoiler: it wasn’t. Lack of consistency and discipline led to losses, even though I had attended during my school years Valley Forge, an elite military academy in the US, I found myself making rookie mistakes, but building habits turned it around. Discipline isn’t innate—it’s learned and affirmed with practice. Here’s how.

1. Build a Daily Routine:

Start each day the same:
• Morning (10 minutes): Scan the market, set alerts, plan.
• Midday Check-In: Review performance—are you sticking to your plan?
• Evening Reflection (15 minutes): Log trades and emotions.

Do this for 21 days—you’ll feel more in control.

2. Predefine Risk:

You wouldn’t drive without brakes. Why trade without stop-losses?
• Before every trade: Define your entry, stop-loss, and profit target.
• Limit risk to 1-2% of your capital.
• Once set, walk away. Trust the process.

3. The 5-Second Pause Rule:

Before hitting “Buy” or “Sell,” pause:
• Does this align with my plan?
• Am I reacting emotionally?

If you hesitate, don’t take the trade. This habit saved me from many mistakes.

4. Visualize the Process:

Close your eyes for two minutes. Picture yourself:
• Identifying trades.
• Setting stop-losses.
• Logging results calmly.

Reinforce the disciplined trader you’re becoming.

5. Journaling:

Log these details nightly:
• Setups, results, emotions, and plan deviations.

Review weekly to spot patterns. Are you improving? Where are you slipping?

Final Note: Discipline isn’t flashy, but it works. Stick to these protocols for 21 days, and watch the shift. Don’t want to go it alone? Click here to copy my trades and trade smarter 🚀💰. Cheers!

But it’s not worth it being liquidated. Check out my posts, I’m sharing a lot of content on risk management, which you really need to apply. Trade safely.

Your margin is too tight. I wouldn’t risk liquidation, it also depends where your SL is. I’d close the trade. You can easily make back that amount in a few good trades

Amen Brother 😊

Haha, a bit difficult, since you seem to have monopolized the pig market. 🐷 We’ll go on trading here, while you struggle to keep the barn door from falling off.

Fed’s Mixed Messages: Markets React, Crypto Bleeds

The Federal Reserve’s latest meeting sent shockwaves through the markets. What should have been a stabilizing moment turned into a perfect storm of uncertainty. Let’s unpack what happened—and what it means for crypto.

The Fed’s Confusing Narrative

Powell’s message was bizarre:
• “Recession has been avoided, the economy is strong, and next year will be great!”
But then:
• Inflation targets weren’t met (though it’s mostly a technical issue).
• Jobs are weakening faster than pre-pandemic levels, yet the Fed is “hopeful” about stopping the fall.

Mixed Data Signals
• GDP: Q3 revised to 3.1%, beating the 2.8% forecast.
• Unemployment Claims: Initial claims at 220k (better than 230k expected), with continuing claims slightly lower.
• Job-Finding Rate: Powell highlighted its sharp decline, mirroring drops seen in 2001, 2008, and COVID recessions.

Add to that rising unemployment, a falling employment-to-population ratio, and the recently uninverted yield curve—all classic recession signals.

Crypto’s Volatile Reaction

The crypto market plummeted, here’s why:
1. Rate Cut Fallout: The Fed’s 0.25 bps cut, meant to boost growth, signaled economic weakness.
2. Investor Shift: Risk assets like crypto dropped as investors moved to safer bets.
3. Massive Liquidations: Over $850M, mostly longs, were liquidated, fueling the sell-off.

What’s Next?

Here’s the silver lining:
• VIX Spike: Yesterday’s big VIX jump often signals a rebound within 30 days.
• Market Reset: Patience now could pay off later.
• BTC.D: Watch dominance—if it hits 60%, alts could suffer.

Volatility is high, and the market is waiting for clarity. Until then, doing less might be your smartest move.
