Nice job:)
Do you mind if we upload your deleted videos on Youtube and link them in the comments of the associated Steemit articles? I you have the time I can also send you a Google Drive link of them and you can upload them to your new channel and then edit the older Steemit articles so that videos are visible there.

Hi Luc, just a suggestion... Could you create a telegram channel and just update any good trades that you noticed? I know you are a busy man but I'm sure a lot of small fries (like me ) are quite fearful of the market especially during now.. Would be great if we can get notified in the loop..

It would be help a lot of people out.. Here's how you can create a telegram channel..

This is beautiful! So anxious to get trading, (need my updated ID since I recently moved and need to verify residence and the DMV takes 10 biz day to send it ugh).

So in the meantime I have been tracking charts with alerts like crazy and writing "paper" trades just to kind of get a feel for where I would have bought and sold......

Anyway most of my paper trades I'm still waiting for the bounce as I put these through early in the day yesterday, I'm not worried about whether the bounce will come for them but learned the valuable lesson already of kind of waiting a bit when these big panics seem to be happening and to layer in better. I know these are fake trades but I did set myself a budget to go by to make it as authentic as possible for now.

I set some alerts to places where I would of spent the remaining budget I had on some of these charts, and lol man the price dropped on a few of these to like right above where my alert was set and where theoretically I would of had an order ready. Had I had the order there would of woken up to the price being back up and would of made some decent profit...oh well second lesson learned to use more alerts, especially when close to a price you really want to buy in.

Quick question and I think you've answered this with looking at the comments you have for the above trades, but can you set an order and then have it set to sell at a higher price, so in situations where you get a sweet crack to a price you want when you're sleeping and get the order that you can also sell if it spikes too while your asleep. I gather thats not possible but figured I would ask anyway, if it was I'm sure you wouldn't be up all night.

With following you just this past week my knowledge about this has skyrocketed and along with it my confidence to actually do it as its all starting to somewhat come together and if following your strategy would be hard to lose money, as there always seems to be a bounce, seems to just be a matter of time.

Again thanks for all of this!

I think your asking about an "what if" order or a special instruction order.. I only have seen a few brokers in the stock market with those functions.. But not anything like that in Cryptos yet.. But basically you would write an order in ninja trader, that follows a script, and if your buy order fills durring the night the platform would automatically write a sell at your set higher price.. .. but we dont have that.. all we can do is make sure we get an alert when we buy and then get up and write in a sell order.. I had 59 orders execute yesterday and last night.. wow im busy when the market pulls back

Hi Luc,

I also bought AMP when the base cracked yesterday but it didn't get back to the base and went further down, so I could not trade on anything else as I wanted to hold instead of selling it for loss.

For today, here are some of the bases I have drawn so far, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on these and also let us know what are you keeping an eye on as of now! Thanks a lot!!

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

I like your Bases.. they look good, but your timeframe is a little short.. you have to expand your view to 1-2 months of data so you really get a feel for how safe your trades would be.. Does every base crack get a bounce? In a two month period? thats the questions you ask yourself in your mind before you think of trading it.. so you know your odds..

STRAT for an example has had one base crack that has not bounce back.. only one crack that I can find in all of them, so that make me trade smaller with STRAT for a little while..
But AMP has had two that I can find, and that starts to worry me.. so if we dont get a huge bounce over the next few days, to fix that whole chart, then I will have to scale back on my AMP trades to super small trades only..

Hey Luc is this an example of one of those AMP bases that cracked with no bounce?

$0.00

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

exactly... where are the buyers? if you dont get a strong bounce then you have to trade very small on the next crack or maybe not at all.. you need to look at 2months of chart action to know your odds of success on each of these coins.. and AMP is pretty weak here, since it isnt following the rules.. no aggressive buyers looking to scoop it up.. im gonna stay small, all my buys on it will be small until the chart gets good again

Hi Luc! Thanks for all that you share. I have a question again.
Cryptocurrency: AMP
Bought at: 0.00012 @ 07/07 with intention to sell at 0.000145

However, AMP dropped again and I didn't buy. Now that the new base is 0.00010, do i need to sell there and take a loss, or can I be confident it will reach back up to the first base but take some time? See coinigy pic below.

Thanks again Luck

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

AMP got killed on this dive.. wow.. ok so you see the geen arrows are my buys.. and i havnt sold anything yet... except that first quick trade at the top.. Now the x x x s are gaps in the chart where the price didnt return to its base.. thats very rare, but it signifies a huge bounce coming.. thats why i didnt sell and kept buying.. but I am not in big, and this drop is due to the market as a whole droping, so im not too worried.. I wish i could give you more info, but i cant predict the future, i can only tell you what im doing,.. if you are feeling nervous, then you can sell at break even or for a small loss when you see a bounce, and just make it up on the next trade..

Shit! I just checked AMP today and saw that it didn't go according to plan :/
What did u do with the position? Did you get out with a loss or you are still stuck with them?

And my question is, do you think trading the big coins this kind of situation is less likely to happen? I mean if at the beggining I stick to the big market caps coins, and stay with your system, I have even less risk for something like AMP to happen, right?

Forgive for my ignorance if it sounds stupid to you.

Your technique also worked brilliantly for me on LBC in this last spell of volatility: ) I got in little under base 1, and somewhat bigger under base 2.

.00018 would be phenomenal. My usual trading style is to aim for a 0.5% to 1% profit after exchange fees, and make five to ten trades like this a day. I like your method way better, but still have a lot to learn about being patient and working in more reasonable time-frames.

blowinoffsteem (25) · 7 years ago (edited)

I am hoping someone can help me out with this question. I am a total noob but got in at $172 on ETH last night so I am pretty excited. I also bought some EOS at $130. I needed to use my ETH to buy EOS. I am currently limited to ~$500 (waiting on my drivers lic approval..) so I needed to be strategic with my buys and layering. So here is my question on some markets you can not trade ETH so I would need to trade in my coin to another currency and then take some fees to do that. Is there an easier way to do this for certain markets like PAY, AMP and XRP? Also, what's the best way to be able to trade quickly? I have accounts on Kraken and BITREX but I have not funded BITREX yet. Should I waste my profit from ETH and now start transferring it into exchanges or is there a better way to do this without losing so much profit? Thank in advance to all and espeically you Luc!

Also, is there a way I can trade ETH vs. ETH on the market as there are no fees? So if ETH dips below $172 or Above x I'd like to be able to sell on the market and not get hit with coinbase fees..

$0.00

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

It sounds to me like your up and up.. because you bought EOS at 130 and its at 160 and you got ETH at 172 and its at 195.. so im not sure i understand your question.. if you sell EOS now you have a great profit.. and if you want to send ETH to bittrex from kraken , that is a much faster process in ETH than coverting it to BTC.. BTC transfers are alot slower

$0.00

blowinoffsteem (25) · 7 years ago (edited)

Thanks for the quick response Luc! Maybe I am not explaining this correctly. I am looking to hold on to these funds I am invested in this market for the long haul and think $172 was a good starting point IMO. My question was if I wanted to sell off ETH do you recommend me doing this in coinbase or transfering the funds to Kraken then trying to trade it vs ? to get the buyout? I guess what I am confused about it if I want to sell ETH and I have it in conigy how can I sell it vs the current price of ETH? Like I said super noob question. Thanks. Also the only reason why I got into this was because you gave me the confidence to do this. These were my first trades. My first, first trade was on EOS at 3.75 so that is why I am planning on hold on to this...

I guess another way of asking this question is since I feel like I got a decent price on ETH at $172 and I put it in coinigy and start trading other coin I feel like that would dilute my initial investment as now I have this in other coin that may not have the same bounce as ETH that I am hoping for.

$0.00

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

So at Bittrex you can trade the ETH/USDT pair and its like you are selling for USD, and at Kraken you can just sell it for USD if you want and then your holding USD on the exchange.. So you dont lose anything by just sending your ETH to the other exchanges you want to trade from.. (except there small transfer fee) .. As you can see from most of my charts I trade mainly at bittrex.. and since its got an A.P.I. set up with Coinigy, its pretty awesome..

blowinoffsteem (25) · 7 years ago

Yeah, basically the sell orders or order overwhelmed the bid and for a few seconds it sold way way below value.. but humans fingers only type do fast, so then a flood of buy orders come in and the price is right back up.. it still forms a wick because those orders did get filled at that low price.. impossible to predict it, but when the market is thin on a coin, this can easily happen

Luc,
This is my chart; ETH/USDT at 1h BTRX
I bought more or less as you did; at 211 and 185 and expected to sell at 220.
(I didn't sell twice in between as you did)
Since I didn't get that bounce to 220 I still hold the trade. Or should I sell and move on?

How do you predict where to sell? Exit stage :).
Many thanks for all the advices.

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

its my policy to try to participate in every bounce.. even if that means I only sell a little.. I have often missed a bounce and then it will crack another base and go lower without me getting to sell.. Thats why I try to sell some on every bounce and then you can rebuy when it retests your base or cracks it.. There is no math or exact formula for taking profits.. every profit is a good profit.. but basically you wait for a crack of a base, then you watch for panic selling to creat a drop from that base (usually consecutive red bars) then you know your safe to buy (high probability trade).. then you sell into the bounce at any profit, even in layers as it goes higher if you want... and it should atleast return to the base it cracked, and if it doesnt, hopefully you got some out on the way up...

Hey Luc,
Thanks for all the info and all of the responses it really helps.

Somehow I have ended up with all of my crypto money in ETH and I hate to get it out of it now when it is so low. How do you handle something like that? When you are in a trade that doesn't work out do you just cut ties and run or hodl and wait for the next big bounce.

Thanks

Well I never have all my money in one trade.. I have it working all over the place on many trades... But with ETH, if your dicussing it as a trade, then its already bounced to the previous base and I am waiting for the next crack before I take my next trade.. However when you say, you dont want to sell ETH because its too low, thats investing.. not trading... You believe it will go higher in the future because its ETH and $200ish seems low.. While I agree with you, please understand that has nothing to do with bases and panic selling and so forth..
So here is what Im presently doing, I bought at 185s and sold at 211s and rebought at 175s and sold at 200ish and bought a nibble last night at 182s and am now holding a bit hoping for a bigger bounce.. but im in small because what I really want is a huge crack of 170s and panic dive so I can get in big..

Okay. I haven't really been a trader I got in it to invest at around 200 and watched it jump to 400 and now fall back to 200. My first trade was going to be the other day at 215 with what I thought was going to be a bounce back to 230 but that didn't work. Oh well. I will probably wait for a little bounce and take some out to trade others. I just wish there were more eth pairs to trade.

Do you trade mostly back to bitcoin or usd?

Correct me if I'm wrong Luc, but I think I can answer this because you've covered it elsewhere:

If you watch his videos you'll see he mostly trades against BTC. He's also commented in another thread that he holds "cash" in USDT (tether). I'd be curious for more information on how he manages this too, though.

He's also said that he has never taken a withdrawal from his crypto accounts - he just builds them up. That implies he covers his living expenses through his stock market trading, and all his trading in the crypto markets is just to build up his BTC / USDT.

Hey Luc, is it safe to say most of your trades resolve within a few hours or do you also wait for several days for the bounce to come through?

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

I have relatively large fills in strat. from 14, 13 and 12. Would you sell here? or wait for bounce to upper support. Looks bit a rising wedge. Sold some at support but most still in.

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

I Just sold half my position to be safe.. heres the thing, STRAT chart is not reacting organically.. Its not independant.. if ETH dives it will dive also, so its chart is a little harder to read, when ETH is influencing its actions.. that being said, if ETH heads up, STRAT will have a monster bounce..

I sold the way up:) I saw 55 btc sell order in polo 155 so thought it wont get past that but it did or he cancelled.

No you cant base your orders on the level two sizes.. most of those bigger sizes are all fake and they will disapear the moment the market gets too close.. thats normal faking out trader tricks.. You have to base all your trades on the charts and the time and sales prints... But charts tell all

Can someone explain this chart to me?

!()

How come the bounce is so small? Is it just due to the base being weak?

quickfingersluc (60) · 7 years ago

I would give it a little time.. Im in it too.. waiting for that bounce back to .0002s.. but you bases look good and the rest of the chart is awesome..

Hey Luc, Thanks for including all these charts! Wow.

Unrelated question. Once the crypto market settles down, do you think you'll cover more of your stock trades in the penny market? I've been following the advice from your old videos and struggling to get the technique down. I'd be particularly interested to know if you've updated the settings on your stock scanner or added additional scanners from the one you'd detailed last summer:

Stocks under $5
Day's $Volume > $500,000
Day's $Volume > Yesterday's $Volume by $100,000 and more

Thanks!

I think Im going to just keep this Blog to Cryptos.. There sis so much opportunity here and with much much less risk.. I still trade the pennystocks all day as usual, and my scanners are all the same.. and if I had scanners in Cryptoland I would leave pennies all together.. but we dont have scanners yet.. so I have to trade bigger timeframes on coins and leave the quick trades to pennyland

Before you know it, you will be trading ten things at once and loving it.. it takes a little while to see exactly how the market reacts, and moves, but after you make successful trade after successful trade over and over and over, then you start to feel quite confident, and it seems like childsplay
