it's been a while. As some of you noticed, I turned off nearly all the trading bots the past few weeks. Honestly, I think that was a smart move since the market took a terrible dip. It might drop a bit more, but I'm expecting a rebound soon.
I'm convinced we'll eventually bounce back. Our portfolio is down but the overall market is down even more.
It's really hard to pinpoint the exact bottom right now, so I'll slowly start buying again. If it dips further, we'll just wait it out. I just don't want to risk missing a bounce-back by staying out.
We just have to be patient and ride the wave upward, just like we did back in October/November and we will get better out of it than before!
I know you must be feeling frustrated and confused right now, just like I am. We were all expecting a bull run, but it turned out to be nothing more than an illusion. TOTAL3 was on the verge of breaking resistance, ready to launch, yet at the same time, new data and a speech released from Trump, and everything went up in smoke.
Looking at WIF and PEPE, their charts don’t look promising for our strategy, there are too many risks to justify putting all our money there. That’s why I’ve decided to start over from the bottom. Yes, there’s always a chance that one or both of them could skyrocket, and we might miss out, but that’s just how crypto works. This is exactly why I prefer automated trading; it removes the emotional element and spares us the stress of every market move.
Last month, I recalculated all funds into a selection of coins with strong potential and solid fundamentals. I still believe in our strategy and its ability to consistently generate a 1% daily return, as long as money management is handled properly and we don’t get stuck. The most important thing is to keep the bots running and make steady profits every day. To ensure this, I’ve made several changes to the code to prevent disruptions. I truly hope this time we will succeed.
Money management has been the biggest challenge all along. Allocating the right amount per bot, especially during black swan events, is incredibly difficult.
I don’t believe just holding a few coins and waiting for them to go up is the best approach. There’s always a chance they never recover. On the other hand, by continuously trading, we create more opportunities. Plus, it simply feels better to see small, consistent profits every day rather than watching a portfolio sit in deep drawdown, hoping for a reversal.
I know you may be concerned because our statistics are down, but so is the entire market. At this point, you have a choice. Either continue copy trading or switch to buy-and-hold. Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable and secure.
It’s been a while since my last update, mostly because the market has been pretty rough. For over a year, I’ve been trading with the same strategy and consistently making profits, even during corrections as steep as 50%. But things took a turn starting December 8th. The drop was too sharp, and we ended up with too much money tied up in the same assets, hoping to close them out quickly. Then, another big dip hit, and the strategy unraveled.
Right now, we’re stuck holding some coins with a significant drawdown. Every day, I still see the strategy making profits, but there’s no money left in play to take advantage of it. This has been a hard but valuable lesson for me about not being too greedy, over-allocating funds, and the importance of keeping reserves for times like these.
Personally, I do have some reserves to average down, but I’ve decided not to keep adding funds to copytrading. I know many of you don’t have the extra capital to do so either. Instead, I’ll be holding tight and waiting for the market to recover, so everyone has a fair chance to exit without or with minimum losses.
If you have reserves, buying more of the same assets to lower your cost could be an option, but remember, that’s not financial advice. It’s your decision.
I still believe this strategy is one of the best ways to make money, but proper money management is critical. Sometimes, that means accepting smaller daily profits to maintain a stronger safety net for risk management.
Don’t stress too much! we’re still in a good spot compared to others. Millions of traders lost everything in leverage trading, but we’re holding spot positions, which makes a recovery only a matter of time. Remember, nothing is truly lost yet. We’re just in a deep drawdown, and we need to stay patient and let the market work its way back.
Our portfolios may be down, but patience is key. For most of our holdings, we only need prices to recover halfway from their peak. Recoveries often happen quickly and unexpectedly, just like with FTT. Soon, altcoins will rise one by one, like fireworks.
Days like these will impact our daily compound average. However, based on backtesting, I am confident we will achieve over 1% daily compound interest when averaged across the year. The quieter days from last week will be compensated once the market recovers.
Our strategy of consistent daily buying and selling is designed to maintain steady growth and hit our 1% goal. Naturally, there are periods of stagnation like this, about once a month. It is part of the process. Stay calm and trust the strategy. I am confident the market will bounce back.
To minimize moments like these, I have developed and fine-tuned numerous strategies to optimize results. Each challenge provides an opportunity to improve, and I am continually refining our approach. With each dip, our strategy becomes stronger.
Currently, the market is slow because TOTAL3 was recently rejected at resistance. Many investors have shifted to Bitcoin, while liquidations and panic selling from smaller investors have created downward pressure on altcoins. This benefits larger investors aiming to buy at lower prices. However, once TOTAL3 breaks through resistance, it is poised to ignite a significant uptrend for altcoins.
Do not fixate on daily unrealized PNL and how much you are in red, It is irrelevant to our long-term strategy. Instead, focus on what we have earned over time. That is the only metric that matters, and it is one we will continue to grow.
Yesterday was the first time in 30 days that we didn’t hit at least 1% daily returns. Winning every single day isn’t realistic, but the fact that we’ve been so consistent shows just how strong this strategy is.
Right now, it might look like we’re down and haven’t made any progress, but that’s not the case. We’ve reinvested everything to grab the best prices possible. Once the market bounces back and it always does, our profits will come right back with it. This is just another step in the process, and we’ll keep making gains like we have all along.
Most other strategies would have added stop losses, which would have resulted in losses. They would then face the challenge of repositioning themselves in the market at a lower price, which is very difficult. In our case, we haven’t lost anything. We are still holding, and we only need to wait.
Dips like this happen from time to time. That’s why we don’t put everything of our investment on daily basis. Instead, we saved a part for moments like this when it’s all about positioning ourselves for a quick recovery.
The plan is simple, we will sell some coins at breakeven, to free up about 50% of our investments, and then have some breathing room to jump on new opportunities or reinvest into the other coins we still hold, to average down the prices. It’s all part of the strategy.
I’ve been through plenty of dips like this before, and I know how they play out. It’s just a matter of being patient. Recovery could take a few days, or it could happen faster if the market picks up suddenly. Either way, we’re on track to come out ahead.
No need to panic, we’ve positioned ourselves like pros, averaging down to a sweet spot. Now we just sit tight, wait for the market to rebound, and boom, we’re back in action! Remember, we’re in spot trading. No scary liquidation risks here, just a test of patience.
Think of this like I posted about the rollercoaster ride: a little nerve-wracking, but we’re securely strapped in, and the thrilling comeback is just ahead. So, grab a coffee, relax, and let’s ride this out like champions!
Tip of the day: Wait for the rebound and close everything that is at break-even. Then, wait for the second dip and buy back in.
Don’t be greedy and assume it will keep going up past your break-even. The possibility is there, but it is much safer to break even and re-enter at a lower price, especially after a big red candle.
Remember what I wrote about the rollercoaster. Just get out on where you started, and get another ride when its lower.
The touches on the #TOTAL3 chart are so precise, 4 touches on the 12H timeframe, with another rejection today. We just need a small dip to build momentum and break through that level.
This is the final ATH level on the TOTAL3 chart. I am expecting (and hoping) that once we break it, #altseason will finally kick off, and we will skyrocket!
But for now, we have to wait and hope it does not keep declining. There is still a chance we might drop back to the 980-1T zone. What do you think?
Fasten your seatbelt, throw your hands in the air, and enjoy the ride. Remember, no one ever quit the rollercoaster halfway through. it’s the twists and turns that make it exciting. Stay patient, stay strapped in, and trust the ride to bring you back to the top.

TOTAL3 testing its last major resistance at the all-time high (ATH) zone.
The #TOTAL3 (crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum) is currently testing its last major resistance at the all-time high (ATH) zone. This critical level has traders and analysts on edge, as it could dictate the market's next big move. Two Possible Scenarios: Breakout Above ATH: If TOTAL3 successfully breaks above this resistance, it could signal a major bullish phase for altcoins. A breakout would likely attract fresh capital into the market, leading to significant rallies across many altcoins ( #altseason ).Rejection at ATH: On the flip side, if the resistance holds and TOTAL3 faces rejection, we might see a pullback or consolidation. This could result in a temporary cool-off in the altcoin market as traders take profits and await further confirmation. What to Watch: Volume: A breakout with strong volume confirms bullish momentum.Bitcoin & Ethereum Movements: Their performance often dictates the direction of the broader market.Macro Trends: Keep an eye on overall market sentiment and external factors like interest rates or regulatory news. The crypto market thrives on speculation and surprises. Stay cautious, manage your risk, and be prepared for both scenarios! 🚀📉 What do you think? will we break it or retrace?

Stop-Loss: A Trap in Spot Trading? Try DCA Instead
Note Before Reading: This strategy is only for spot trading.
Stop-losses are supposed to protect you from losing money. In reality, they often lead to more losses. How many times have you set a stop-loss, only to watch the market hit it and reverse back up right after? That’s because stop-losses are often targets for market manipulation. I used to follow all the rules and place my stop-losses carefully, yet I lost so many trades. Then I discovered DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging), and it changed everything. Here’s how you can use it to improve your trading results. Why DCA Works Better Instead of setting a stop-loss, DCA allows you to take advantage of price dips. You divide your investment into smaller parts and buy more when the price drops, lowering your average entry price. This way, you turn dips into opportunities rather than losses. The DCA Strategy Avoid Lower Timeframes if You’re Not a Professional Stick to timeframes of one hour or higher. Lower timeframes are noisy and unpredictable, often leading to bad decisions. Higher timeframes show more reliable trends, giving you bigger rides on trends and better opportunities to profit.Don’t Fear Market Dips The market tends to recover over time. Stay calm and avoid panic selling.Diversify Your Investments Don’t put all your money into one coin. Spread your investments across different coins and chains. When some coins are down, others may be up, giving you more flexibility to sell at a profit.Buy in Parts with Indicators Divide your trade into 2 or 4 portions. For example:Buy your first portion when indicators like RSI show oversold levels (e.g., below 30).If the price drops further, use a crossover in MACD or another dip in RSI as a signal to buy again, lowering your average entry price.Repeat this process at each significant price dip to position yourself for the next trend reversal. Why Avoid Stop-Losses in Spot Trading Stop-losses often lead to unnecessary losses. They’re frequently targeted by larger players who trigger them before the market reverses. Instead of locking in a loss, DCA allows you to stay in the trade and wait for the recovery. Key Takeaways Avoid trading on timeframes below 1 hour unless you are highly experienced. Higher timeframes provide more reliable trends and bigger opportunities.Stop-losses often hurt more than they help in spot trading.DCA helps you manage dips by lowering your average entry price.Use indicators like RSI, STOCH and MACD to guide your buy-in points.Diversification and patience are key to reducing risk and maximizing profits. Give it a try yourself! Open a 4-hour chart on TradingView and test this strategy. Start by buying 25% of your planned investment when you see a MACD crossover. Instead of setting a stop-loss, use that level as an opportunity to buy another 25%. If there’s another MACD crossover below, add another 25%. Repeat this process as needed. Over time, this approach helps you lower your average entry price and increases your chances of turning a profit when the market rebounds. It’s a simple yet effective way to make market dips work in your favor!
The Power of Patience: How DCA and Compound Growth Built Wealth Like Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett wasn’t born rich. He started small, buying his first stock at just 11 years old. Over the decades, he grew his wealth using two simple principles: Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) and compound growth. What is DCA? DCA is an easy strategy. You invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, no matter what the market is doing. When prices are low, you buy more. When prices are high, you buy less. Over time, this helps balance out the cost of your investments and lowers your risk. Buffett believed in steady investing. He didn’t try to guess when the market would go up or down. Instead, he kept buying great stocks consistently, even during market crashes. The Magic of Compound Growth Compound growth is what makes your money grow faster over time. Let’s say you invest $2,500 and earn a 1.5% return daily. After the first day, your investment grows to $2,537.50. By the second day, your return is calculated on $2,537.50, so it grows to $2,575.56. Over time, this snowball effect becomes even more powerful. After just one month (30 days), your $2,500 could grow to over $3,300, thanks to the compounding effect. The longer you let it grow, the bigger the snowball becomes.
Buffett used this idea to build a fortune. He reinvested his earnings and let compound growth do the hard work. He often said, “The best time to start investing was yesterday. The second-best time is today.” How Does This Apply to Crypto? Now, imagine you’re investing in crypto instead of stocks. Crypto markets can be wild, with prices going up and down rapidly. It’s easy to get caught up in the hype and make emotional decisions. This is where DCA can be your best friend. Let’s say you decide to invest $2500 into Bitcoin every month, no matter the price. Some months, Bitcoin’s price might be high, and you’ll buy less. Other months, the price will be low, and you’ll buy more. Over time, this steady approach helps you avoid big risks and take advantage of market dips. If you combine DCA with the power of compound growth, your crypto portfolio could grow significantly. For example, with a 1.5% daily compound growth (a realistic target for skilled crypto traders), your $2500 monthly investment could snowball into something big over a few years. Warren Buffett’s Lesson Buffett’s success shows that wealth doesn’t happen overnight. It’s about sticking to a plan, staying patient, and letting time work for you. While Buffett doesn’t invest in crypto himself, the same principles apply. Crypto markets are new and exciting, but the strategies of DCA and compound growth are timeless. If you want to build wealth, start small, stay consistent, and think long-term. Even in crypto, slow and steady can win the race. After all, the biggest fortunes are made by those who are patient and disciplined. As Buffett says, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” Start planting your tree today, whether it’s in stocks, crypto, or any other investment.
When I look at other high-ranking lead trader profiles, I notice they often have a much higher ROI. But here's the catch, they’re also taking on significantly more risk. Most of them pour all their investments into just a few coins.
Our strategy is different, we focus on proper risk management and steady, solid growth. By spreading investments across multiple coins, we balance the highs and lows, when some are down, others are up. And every day, we're working toward consistent profits.
Compound interest is incredibly powerful. At this pace, with the #altseason ahead in just three months, we expect to rank among the top lead traders based on 90-day performance, only we’ll get there with smart, sustainable risk management.
If you’re looking for steady growth and want to avoid risking everything on just a few coins, start following us! Our goal is to maintain around 1.5% daily #compound growth. Let’s grow together, strategically and sustainably.
