๐’‰๐’†๐’๐’๐’!

I'll write a lot because it's my first post here about Trading and I just love it, this article is meant to help

Every one of us traders have seen the highs and the lows of the ๐ต๐‘‡๐ถ, in my own opinion/experience I've seen it from the two sides, the loser and the winner, but that's not the point, when you do a trade, you hope for the best

If you are "๐’๐’๐’๐’ƒ" you struggle, you lose your patience, you pray to the god you believe "STOP FALLING"
and you pass through a lot of pain, when you experience that, you are doing it wrong... trading is not like that

We just have to study and stick to the plan, the strategy, search for a good trading strategy that fits our personality, our capacities, our patience and discipline, ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’…๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’Š๐’” ๐’๐’๐’• ๐’‚ ๐’‹๐’๐’Œ๐’†, there are people that have to study like years, there are others that just only in months reach their goals

Evolve your trust, trust your AT strategy and stick to your SL (Stop Loss), "๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’๐’๐’”๐’† ๐’š๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’๐’‘๐’Š๐’๐’Š๐’๐’, ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’๐’๐’”๐’† ๐’‚ ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’…๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’• ๐’๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’Ž๐’๐’๐’†๐’š ๐’Š๐’” ๐’๐’‘๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’๐’‚๐’" can't remember where I read those words but they are indeed some powerful ones, people tend to search x1000 strategies because ONE, TWO, THREE times they failed a trade and right away they think that TA is useless, that's so wrong

In the next posts I'll do some lessons about Technical Analysis, Fundamental Analysis and Psycological Lessons!

Straight to the point (๐‘ป๐‘จ ๐’‘๐’‚๐’“๐’• ๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’†):

I did this chart some days ago 1.jpg

I'll explain quickly:

that's a ๐‘ฉ๐‘ป๐‘ช / ๐‘ผ๐‘บ๐‘ซ chart at Coinbase (4H)

๐’˜๐’‰๐’Š๐’•๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’๐’“๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’† ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’” are support and resistances.

๐’ƒ๐’๐’–๐’† ๐’“๐’†๐’„๐’•๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’๐’†๐’” ๐’‚๐’“๐’† "๐‘ฎ๐’‚๐’‘๐’”" I know that Gap is when the price moves so fast that it leaves an empty space in the chart but I also call "Gap" sites to which I think the price should return

๐’‘๐’–๐’“๐’‘๐’๐’† ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’” are the set up of a symmetric triangle and the numbers up and down are the count of 'ceilings' and 'floors'

and at the end almost hiding (joke haha) ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ญ๐’Š๐’ƒ๐’๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’„๐’Š ๐’๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’๐’” (with white levels instead of the default colors)

a little advice here, ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐‘จ๐‘ณ๐‘พ๐‘จ๐’€๐‘บ ๐’‰๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’•๐’ ๐’‡๐’Š๐’๐’… ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’•๐’“๐’†๐’๐’…! ๐’‚๐’๐’š ๐’•๐’Š๐’Ž๐’† ๐’‡๐’“๐’‚๐’Ž๐’† ๐’‰๐’‚๐’” ๐’Š๐’•๐’” ๐’๐’˜๐’ "๐’•๐’“๐’†๐’๐’…"

Most of the time you can't trick the 1D indicators and you always have to look at the candles, they don't lie (I use SLOW STOCH, MACD and WaveTrend Cross By Lazy Bear with Default Candles)

Learn to see what the market is telling you and forget that toxic attitude of making decisions base on what you want or need of the market, that kind of things can play against you.

๐‘ป๐‘จ ๐’…๐’๐’†๐’”๐’'๐’• ๐’๐’Š๐’†, you just have to study ๐‘จ ๐‘ณ๐‘ถ๐‘ป and simplify the things you learn to get an a Idea, all the people are doing and creating charts, with BAT patterns, Elliot Waves, just Resistance and Support levels but if your TA is good enough you'll see the same thing that good traders are seeing

so, the next thing, after 2 or 3 days was this

2.jpg

and then I spotted and confirm a H&S bear pattern at 1D before the breakout, that was an easy one, some of the alts where making the same exact pattern

4.jpg

3.jpg

and then

5.jpg

but, to demonstrate my point I did this chart, don't have any screenshot of it point by point because I did it at ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ’

here it is
a Gann Box (kinda like fibonacci levels) with market cycle wave counts

photo5141265416444815356.jpg

all the points where made taking the ceilings and floors of the indicators and the gann box

here the example

photo5139108380789549114 (1).jpg

I'll explain quickly, I did that chart when the BTC price was at ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ’

๐Ÿ We had our first call at 6.230 USD after making a clean floor at the 3 indicators at 4H TF (Time Frame) then the price had its first spike on vol, that makes ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ, then pullback at 6.289 making the old resistance a new support

๐Ÿ Then after the first pullback the price raised to create the ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ and did a clean pullback to the ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ making some room for accumulation

๐Ÿ‘ You can clearly see at the ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ that selling vol was very low, that's indeed a call to create the ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ‘ and the first spike before distribution, we did a clean pullback to ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ (you can search market cycle method or wyckoff method to see the first spike before distribution)

๐Ÿ’ Right after making the pullback from ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ‘ to ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ the price raised to create the ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ’ and indeed the distribution point seeing a lot of BUY volume

After scalping all the grow I did want to keep it simple and I charted a Gann Box there, I entered a short position at 6.500 seeing that indicators where exhausted (and at 1D things where weak too I decided to short):

8.jpg

You can see that the MACD was closing below its 0 level (that's bear), the SLOW STOCH was touching the ceiling and the WaveTrend wasn't even touching the ceiling (that's bear because it means that the price don't have momentum)

๐Ÿ“ Right after I shorted the price falled to 6.431 and did again a clean pullback back up to make the ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ“ and the spike after distribution, that's the place when you should sell, you can share that point in other charts, there's no distribution without pullback with less momentum

๐Ÿ” & ๐Ÿ• After the price reaching ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ“ the price started to free fall to ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ ceiling ( ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ floor) touching the 0.38 of the fibo, that was a good place to do a pullback to ๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’• ๐Ÿ (but no to enter a pullback-long position) the price did that twice creating point 6 & 7 making a double top pattern (bear pattern)

with 1D bearish and 4H bearish at the charts with that symptoms I knew this was goin' to hell haha!

What I'm tryin' to do here? not trying to be another "expert", I just want to ๐’‰๐’†๐’๐’‘ ๐’๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐’‘๐’†๐’๐’‘๐’๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’˜ ๐’‰๐’๐’˜ ๐’”๐’Š๐’Ž๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’‡๐’Š๐’†๐’… ๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’…๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’Š๐’‡ ๐’š๐’๐’– ๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’“๐’ ๐’†๐’๐’๐’–๐’ˆ๐’‰ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’”๐’•๐’๐’‘ ๐’”๐’†๐’‚๐’“๐’„๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’๐’”๐’˜๐’†๐’“๐’” ๐’Š๐’ ๐’๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐’‘๐’†๐’๐’‘๐’๐’†, you can follow signals, you can enter paid chats, but you've always be two steps behind because you really don't know what's happening

Cuando empecรฉ en el mundo del trading, todo era borroso, confuso, deprimente, algo muy lejano e imposible para mi de comprender y menos aรบn poder aplicarlo, eso ni pensarlo. Pero desde que tuve el privilegio de toparme con Blvck, todo ha mejorado, no solo en mis trades, sino en mi vida, que es lo que mas me ha impresionado, y probablemente sea el real sentido sobre el trading. Estoy muy contento de poder ser testigo y parte del proceso en el cuรกl cumplirรกs todos tus sueรฑos y metas.
Gracias por todo.
