Hey everyone, its noon and I made you another quick video:
I want to talk about the upcoming Coinigy Market Scanner. Im really excited for this, and I want to explain to my followers why this would be a game changer for our trading.
If anyone from the Coinigy team sees this post, please spread it to the rest of your group.
We love your tools and platform, but please give us an ETA on this market scanner's release. And feel free to contact me if you want to discuss features that would appeal to full time daytraders.
As always, thanks for your support, votes, and comments,
Luc
Hi Luc,
Firstly, thankyou for your content. I was very sad when you pulled your YouTube channel, as I had only discovered your videos 2 days prior, and was very happy to see you re-emerge.
As a result of watching your videos, I have started 'day trading' (or more appropriately, 'after work and on weekends when I get time away from my 2 year old' trading.
I have some questions:
I recently bought a cracked base on the BTC/ETH pair. Looking at the potential percentage (assuming a return to form rather than an outsized bounce), I was a little disappointed that it was quite small. How do I increase my percentages? Trading low-cap coins only?
Given the possible 10% upside, I felt a little cheated - like I had risked a lot for not much gain. Does it feel like that all the time?

I would need more info about your trade.. my base on that pair is at $170 and I started buying last night at $151 and i also got $142 and now Im hoping for 130 and under.. I am layering and really want more panic .. So im not sure if you were reading the chart effectively, because I dont know your entry

So, I picked my base at 0.08 (it had been tested twice with decent bounces), and cause it was late I set an auto-sell at 0.09 while I slept. But as you can see, thats only 12%. It just felt kinda risky for only a small percentage is all.

You did buy a little early on that one, probably because you were not zoomed out to a bigger picture, and looking at 1-2months of data, so that you could estimate what an average panic looks like.. you got in right after the crack of that base, but no worrys, it gave you a bounce anyways

12% ain't nothing (unless you're putting $50-$100 or so down).

LOL. Boo hoo I made 12% while I slept.
The average ANNUAL stock market return is 7%. In a year. 7% gained over 12 months.
You know how much you get in a savings account after inflation? In a year? Negative 5%, minimally.
You made 12% in 24 hours (12?). That's a win.
That's nothing but a win.
Win.

Nice to have a programmer among us.. please let me know how your project goes.. what I need a scanner to do is: spot a 10% drop in price, within a 5min period.. and it has to be real time, meaning it auto refreshes every second or 5 seconds or so.. would also be nice to have a min volume filter (but thats less important)

I was thinking about doing some thing like this with php/mysql, json data, storing the results, and then spitting out specified coins that match. But it sounds like you've already got this wheel invented. Any idea on what you might charge for this once you have it ready? Thanks for working on this, btw!

Hi, Luc. I have a suggestion. In www.http://coinmarketcap.com we have almost 1000 coins listed.
Your group of followers here already has above 1000 people. I suggest that you create a post where everybody can post pictures of their chart analysis showing the bases and possible safe buying zones.
You would only check and comment mistakes your students may commit.
If we spread our efforts, we'll be able to cover all coins and kepp finding the best opportunities for trading. It would be a useful post for all of us and everybody could contribute a little if they want so.
What do you think?

It sounds interesting but I doubt even 25% of my followers are regular steemit users.. if you look at the upvotes on each post, i average around 100 votes per post, so the regular followers are only 100 and the other 900 only visit steemit once and a while.. then the question is how many of the 100 are actually trading.. possibly 30-50 .. and then out of those 30-50, how many will dilegently check the charts for us everyday... i dunno.. but with a scanner ill feed everyone every single panic drop, exactly when they happen..

We'll see if it happens this year, but for what it's worth Coinigy has this feature on their 2017 roadmap. Sorry if someone already mentioned this, but I didn't see it in the comments anywhere.
This video from Dec 2016 details their 2017 roadmap - which includes a lot of other awesome things in the works as well, like an iOS app, more customizability of the web interface, and even Coinigy's own exchange. Starting at 25 minutes he goes over the ChartScanner they're working on (though he doesn't give much detail).

Hey Luc!
That would be a complete Game changer! Also don't you think a huge game changer would be if we could have a simple function on Coinigy, like "if Price falls below X, Buy X amount, then Sell at X price? Some little function like that so we can program the whole trade at one go would be awesome! By the way check out how this trade went for me, I found this coin looking at the low volume coins in Bittrex, its not super low volume but has a lot of volatility.

There was some movement today so I finally tried to trade. But I panic sold at the first dip.
ETH
The red candle made me think that I misread the base and it will just bounce up to the previous level. Though I should trust ETH more.
XRP
I bought (too) fast cause the drop was big already, and I didn't want to get left behind. I don't trust this coin to be as reliable, so I made the same mistake of panic selling. Meh.
I also caught almost the total bottom of XEM, but I went in very small cuz it didn't really break anything.
Since it looked like it broke 2 supports or so, then I thought that it's going to only pop up to the previous levels. Since it bounced up where I thought it should, then I assume they were real bases...Guess I learned something today. Also I set up my alerts too soon, turns out I was way too impatient for this trading method. The red shouldn't scare me next time. For whatever reason I expected it to be a linear green till the end of bounce.
Nice drops happen on small coins, but before I get there the price is already up there. Hard to catch with alerts.
ARDR had some kind of flash crash on May 30, sadly it didn't repeat.

Great share Luc.....I wasn't even aware this kind of thing existed. This is great because I literally have been going through all the altcoin pairs on bittrex and setting alerts lol.
Anyway, did you catch the panic drop on the BTC/USDT pair today? I got in at 2180, but couldn't sell when the alert came in at 2220 because I was at work.

I bought some BTC/USD and ETH/USD when this week's bear market started, and am down a fair amount from then. I should've waited longer, as least before doing buys of the size I did. I think Luc's advice above is very good - let it go down a fair amount before buying in. We could see this bear market / correction continue - god knows everything's gone up like crazy the last 3 months.
EDIT Sunday morning: Holy shit. What a breathtaking drop. Nice to see something I said turn out to be wise!

Luc - Can you please take a look at BAY/BTC on BITTRIX, and let me know your thoughts on this chart.
If I placed a buy after the first crack below the base at .00001000, I might have taken a 10-20% loss... or should I just patiently wait for the bounce?
Should I now consider .00000700 to be the new base?

Im not taking a loss on those last entries, im waiting for a bounce.. but if it BTC takes a nose dive it may influence BAY to crack lower, those are the breaks.. Still your entry was good and was a very high percentage trade, so thats great trading.. as you will notice in the chart I have already made many profits on BAY.. so if the worse happens and it cracks lower, im not to hurt by that.. however it will likely bounce.. buyers are just nervous here because of BTC forking issue
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Thanks for posting your chart @quickfingersluc, that was very helpful for me.
As a general rule of thumb, how deep does the crack need to be for you to consider a buy? I've been looking for situations where the crack goes for an 8% dive or deeper to assure my trades are restricted to only ones that have a high expected value of return. Would you consider that a good rule of thumb or is there a different metric I should use?
If you have the free time I hope you can discuss the current uncertainty in the market due to BTC forking on August 1st in an upcoming video, and how your approaching this highly political issue within your trades. I would have assumed the uncertainty in the market would be good for your trading style, but I'm beginning to realize that my assumption may have been wrong.
Keep up the GREAT work, you are hands down my favorite source of market knowledge at this stage!

Hi Luc,
First of all , great training blog and YouTube vids.
I'm a new crypto trader from Australia.
Question:
I'm hesitating on the crack of bases because the price only just passes it - What's your advice on the perfect spot to get in, are there visual queues or spikes in volume?
I have hesitated on many trades in the last day because it has only just passed my alert on the base.
What's the perfect criteria that gets you into a trade - do you wait for it to pass your base by a distance?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yup.. I want the crack of the base and then a panic drop for me to get in.. the crowd has to panic as a result of the crack.. thats the best situation.. but if you feel your missing alot of trades, then get involved anyway, just buy small and enjoy the trade.. if it bounces you make a little..and if it panic drops, then you get to buy in for real.. win win

Not Luc, but I can try to explain. He buys panic drops, which usually means a few red candles on a hourly chart. I am not sure how I would classify minimal cracks of the base, but almost certainly those aren't worth buying(For this method). Look at 10% drop as a minimum or so. SHIFT click in coinigy.
In the most basic form if I understood correctly:
You could and probably should layer in buys and sells, but there are no strict rules.

So random question here: Most hardware wallets only support BTC ETH and a few altcoins. If your holding other altcoins are you leaving them on the exchange? It looks like its not easy transferring other altcoins to and from a wallet like Firstblood(1st/btc) any thoughts? Also what time frame are you pulling you bitcoing from the exchange before the fork on the first? I know you can covert steem to steam $ then have to sit on them for a bit.

I do hold all those alt coins on the exchanges.. So to be a tad safer, i have registered for many less known exchanges and I hold my coins all over at many many exchanges, so one going belly up wont effect me much..

Actually I think I found a bit of info. It seems all coins with masternode are being pumped now, too bad it seems everything has started or ended already. Check TX, MUE, CRW, DYN, EXCL on Bittrex...it seems there's some coorinated pump by groups or whales. I don't have a lot of money, dropped a few dollars in each just to see what's going to happen, but I think if one were to gamble fortunes could be made today. Damn, if I knew this would happen a few hours before. I think BSD, MUE and CRW have some potential to go up, but the dump is gonna be hard.

Hi there, I'm a programmer and I've been doing research on making something to help with trading, and possibly automating it completely. I've only just been learning about it from your posts/videos so far and this is excellent research material in helping with that.
I've been looking at trading bots like Gekko, blackbird, tribeca, etc. but they didn't seem to reliably make money as reported by some of their users. I'm sure if you plug in the right algorithms they may but they don't seem to be there yet and I haven't tested them yet. So it still makes sense you would want to do the trades manually for now.
What you're describing as a scanner seems like something very doable though and I'm sure people will be able to make them do exactly what you want. I myself have been excited to work on something and see what I can come up with but I don't really have any money right now so I've been working on other stuff still so we shall see how it goes. I think what would help is if there was a precise set of requirements written out and a set of tasks to do and possibly even an open source project people could submit code to. What language would it be written in though? I could go through the video again later when I have time and organize things into a project on github or gitlab and separate the tasks and whatnot.

I hired a programmer once to write me and EA for MT4 for forex, I was trying to automate some trading idea, it didnt work out so great, leaving the decisions to a computer.. Every trade is different and its hard to let a computer press the buttons..
Honestly all I need is an alert system, a scanner, that lets me know when something is dropping.. Then I will react using my experience to guide me.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yeah that's exactly what I thought would be the case.
It would certainly make it more challenging to automate it and require a fairly sophisticated AI to operate things properly, especially if it was to be able to take good or bad news into consideration somehow. But maybe it could also be driven by some sort of blockchain or peer to peer technology that could help in that area. Definitely a separate project though.

Is there any documentation anywhere on how to write custom scripts in Coinigy? Most platforms you'd use have such documentation (NinjaTrader, Tradestation, Genesis, MT4, etc..).
I'd like to look into it as I typically write my own things on my platforms.

I took a quick look and discovered Coinigy seems to have a REST API and a WebSocket API so pretty much any language which you can make interact with those should do the trick.

Teach me what you will need to see and I will look for it for you. I am only on Bittrex right now. So until I open accounts at Polo or Kraken maybe we can just start at Bittrex for now.
Or, at least until cyberwolf's scanner is on line?

Its not easy to keep up with the market without a scanner.. Ok here is what i need: (1) I would need the scanner to update in real time (basically auto refresh itself every 5 seconds or 20seconds or something like that) (2) Im looking for a 10% drop in price withing the last 5mins (this way you have only results of coins moving down now.. after 5minutes without movement, it would no longer be at the top of the results list, or even it could disappear from the results) (3) some sort of exchange filter would be nice, so that I could monitor only the exchanges that I use (instead of getting tons of alerts from all exchanges) ..
Those are the requirements I would need in a scanner.. No human could spot a drop and alert me in seconds, like a scanner would.. lets hope cyberwolf or some other programmer helps us out ..

Hi Luc,
I have been working on a Market Scanner these past few days. I have something up and running. It only checks Bittrex at the moment, but I am going to add a few more exchanges in the next few days.
I think I've made it work the way you want. If not, I can tweak it to your requirements.
If you want to try it out just drop me a mail (dogphishtemp at gmail.com) and i'll send you the URL. If you think that it works good then i'll try and put this somewhere for everyone to access.
Here's a screenshot.

Hey Luc! You've been a real inspiration for trading by sharing your videos. Thank you very much! Today is my first day jumping into the deep end. This is the chart I have.
I drew two yellow bases trading base on them. The circle is where I plan to buy. Am I getting the idea of bases? If not, poke many holes in it.
My second question is the blue base. When looking through the chart, that's a base I found. However, the chart never recovered when it broke the base. Is this a bad base or a weak chart?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

hey, thanks for including a chart.. Ok so lets talk about this.. so panics are when bases are broken and all the buyers/holders are shaken out of there postions, they are surprised and panic sell, droping the price.. right? ... ok, so then when the panic stops, people start buying it back up to previous support... ok.. so.. it can now trade around in that area, beacuse we have just redifined a suport and resistance level..
Man this is hard to explain without video.. ok let me redraw your chart..
The green lines are your panics.. notice the length of the lines.. so this guides you on where you should put your buy orders.. the blue lines are where prices returned to there bases after the panics..
Anyways, its the same chart only maybe this might help you to see it a little different with more colors.. Sorry its not easy to explain in text as easy as it is for me in video.. but basically you need a panic of near the average length to be safe.. so if you buy in that circle you drew, then you should just nibble and wait for a drop to get more

Thanks Luc! I noticed this weekend it dropped/panic below the 2nd yellow line of 170 to around 140. It recovered back to 170 for a short time. I'm catching on!
On another subject, it would be cool for you to analyze this chart in one of your videos. The volatility is crazy! It seems like every hour there is a new base. Plus, the volume seems pretty good.

I am wondering the best way to keep funds ready on BTRX since all trades are in BTC but for days when BTC is going steadily down shouldn't these funds been in USD or USDT so we don't loose % when it is sitting?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

thats a pretty common question..But its very hard to decide when and where to change back and forth, because its like trading forex and stocks at the same time.. As an example, if you owned a car lot, and you sold cars, would you trade in your USD for some other currency every so often and stop buying more cars/stock because USD vrs CAD or EUR keeps fluctuating up and down? Its like trading on top of trading, it gets complicated..
So what I do is keep a set amount of BTC and ETH for trading, and then I also trade BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT, with other moneys but not the set amount that I had set aside for trading pairs...
It helps if you believe that BTC and ETH will be worth alot more in the future, then its easier to set some aside for trading other coins..

Great video again and I agree, a market scanner would be really great.
What I use so far is a combination of marking really good coins as favorites and all the others (like moderate to "maybe worthy") get color coded by right clicking the pairs and assigning colors from red (probably risky) over yellow to green (worth having a daily look and reset alerts).
This way I can run through all the greens on a pretty regular basis and I only take the time to set new alerts from everything below green/yellow like once a day and skip all reds and uncolored coins.
Anyway. Thanks for the great explanations and show offs of your trades. It makes it really easy to understand.
I am still struggling as I only have a very small account to deal with until I feel comfortable with the trades. Today I had an eye on SYNX/BTC during its skyrocketing and tried to catch the first dip but it was so fast that I wasn't able to catch this.
So how do you handle those kind of things when you try to catch the first dip on a really high bounce? Do you try to keep up a buy order like 10-20% below the top or do you try to react in time and hope to get the order through and catch it?
I also have difficulties to find a new base on a chart that came out of an upwards movement. For example ETH just bounced up to $225 yesterday and came down again to about $180 with a smaller bounce afterwards.
I guess the current (weaker) base would be the $190 (that already got cracked like 5 hours ago) with a stronger base at around $170 that got tested twice during the past 3 days, right?
Well, thanks again for your time and your well made videos/explanations, it is very much appreciated!

yeah that SYNX is rocketing to the moon 850% so far... I cant touch that now.. and ETH the 170 base is the one im gonna play off.. if i buy any before that crack it would just be nibbles.. no real position until we see some panic below 170

Hey everyone. I found this short guide to investing in cryptos when I was browsing various crypto forums. I'd seen some people who follow and comment on Luc's posts asking about the subject and thought it might be of interest to you all. Hope it helps.
"Making a Million Dollars" from cryptocurrency subreddit's /u/BTC2018: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6nhl0q/making_a_million_dollars/
Just a heads up, I'm a trading and investment newbie so the post I'm linking to might not be as worthwhile as I think it is. It seems sensible to me though. From what I can tell it looks like it can be utilized simultaneously with Luc's methods. Luc's trading style for short term,and the info I linked to for long term investing (0.5-5 years).

Hey Luc,
following along a bit, it has been very interesting, thanks for all the input!
However, some of my trades didn't bounce as I expected, so I probably bought off the wrong base or thought it would go higher than it did. However, to avoid this from happening again, I got some ether for around 125 € (so around 145 dollars) and I had a conditional close in there for selling the order at 147 € (where the small circle is in my chart), which was still below the prior base. The price then peaked back to around 143 €, and it went down again from there. Then I somehow had the thought that the little peak over two hours might already have been the peak back to the base and we might have a new base. Is the short base that I put into the graph strong enough for the major base Ether cracked before? Or do you think the "real bounce" is still gonna happen? I am also in with a small amount of BTC and hope for the big bounce, but not sure whether it's gonna happen. To be sure that I don't have even more bearish Ether left in my account ;-), I then sold the Ether for a minimal profit as you can see in my chart. So I was just wondering about your opinion, and maybe where you bought and whether you sold at that first peak already. Cheers.

Hey Luc,
Your videos are what finally pushed me to start trading, thanks a lot for the great content!
I'm still making plenty of mistakes but also learning along the way, looks a lot easier when watching your videos.
Managed to get some profitable trades during the recent carnage
Can you please take a look at these graphs:
BAY-BTC
still waiting for a bounce
THC-BTC
am I defining these bases correctly? Especially numbered 6 and 7
SYNX-BTC
would you consider all of these bases? The price movements are quite huge off each one. Or would you only consider base 3?
VOX-BTC
is base 3 valid? I seem to be having trouble with bases that appear higher than the previous base (sold near the top, so it was a profitable trade)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I think you are doing great drawing bases.. im not sure about SYNX base 1.. i dont see the bounce on it that would define a base for us... and THC number 1 and number 4 are questionable.. but understand that using a large bounce to define a base is really overkill.. I want only the most safe trades, all the trades above will likely work, but I want to see a real big reaction bounce in order for me to qualify a base..
You are doing great, and thank you for the chart work.. excellent

wow what a dive.. I looked back at the chart and MAID has been safe to trade to this point.. its a good chart.. so I would have bought on the way down on that one.. and would have expected a bounce back to the 17s... it looks like it did give a quick spike at one point, but its hard to say.. if your not in, i would put the new base at 12s and if you are in, it will likely still bounce for you.. but with the consolidation down there, the bounce may only be a spike.. so have your orders ready..

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Basically if you looked back in the chart and drawn in your bases, and the drawn in your safe circles (where you would have bought) then you can calculate your odds of success... after you do that you will know how safe this next circle will be.. as an example if you would have a had a profitable trade 9 times out of the last ten base cracks/panic dives.. then your next safety circle has a 90% chance of success.. thats a pretty safe circle..

I'm a programmer...I consider doing a crypto robot. what is the motivation for sharing this scanner with many people? is it better when many people using this strategy ? What i'm thinking is, the more people trade this strategy, the price fall, will be smaller (it will fall less)..because you have more buyers who use this strategy.
Generally, i can do this scanner for free for you. I only need your help in designing the detection you need. My wish is to create a fully automated robot. You think its possible ? I'm thinking of doing base/buyers detection with neural networks. but not sure..maybe there is an easier way.
In 1-2 weeks I finish some robot i'm making, then i can move to a crypto robot.

We are soooooo far as a group using my strategy to ever cause an effect to the market.. but yes, if many traded this way, then the market would become more stable.. As far as a robot goes, I have never seen one manage to make decisions like a human.. because every situation is different, and it only takes one bad trade to really hurt you, if say your computer algo started buying when there was horrible news hitting the wires.. I would see the level 2 react and I would get out quick, but a robot would possibly keep buying.. i dunno, there are lots of variables

i'm thinking if 100 guys would have a scanner. probably more would really use this strategy. so i you got 100 guys X 1000$, thats 100,000$ money power. on small pair, it can make a HUGE effect.
I'm building robots for Media buying..the more people use it, the less it will work because of bid wars.
Anyway, once i get free i'll make the scanner at least. As for robot, yes, it can even detect the news. You can make news analysis and it will not even trade on suspicious news.
We are in the age of self driving cars. Everything is automated. its only a question of how long it takes, to make it completely automatic.
Best is to do it gradual.
i'll start with a scanner for market price drops.
later can work on algorithm for base detection.
working manually with these..later thinking of more automation. But lets first make money with these.

a scanner that would find bases would be awesome, but hard to code.. It would have to identify a bounce that created a base then a new low from that base of 5% or more.. something like that.. it would almost have to be a chart scanner, not a coin scanner.. i dunno.. big project i think

Hello Luc,
I tried to do a simple scanner which can detect changes considering "last price" values (what is shown on the chart) or changes considering "order book" values
I will keep working on it since it's too basic
http://imgur.com/ESxAYFT
I've posted a screen where i've set 4 times (5mins, 20 mins, 40mins and 60 mins)
what do you use 5 mins timeframe for? I've noticed that with longer timeframes you can detect broken bases more easily, but what about 5 mins?
Do you use that for really fast trades? (implying it's not a dump)
Kind regards

Hi Luc. I'm not sure if it could work for this project as a scanner. I downloaded app Boilr in my (android phone) and set up manually every coin in Bittrex with a change of 10% in 5 minutes and that update every 5 seconds. I have so many alerts but the most are only burst of less 1 minute from very low volume coins so the price return so fast and it is imposible to get that opportunities. I made some experiments with this app and could be useful for identify bases also. Im not sure if I should select coins with a minimum volume over $100.000 trade everyday to have time to use this signals. Pd. Yesterday I was watching in BTC the price changed about 1% in 1 minute. What do you think?

Would love to beta test this. I have been looking for a scanner since I got into crypto. I look for panic drops and also love to ride the uptrends and jump right in after a pull back. Also down to chip in on building it!

Hi Luc
You can also try my scanner. Its free and open source. Any programmer can participate in developing.
Slack and telegram bot will be available very soon. Good looking site is in process too.

I made the market scanner that you talked about. visit www.muunship.com and give me some feedback and let me know what changes that you would like.

Im having trouble making any sense of this scanner you have made... It gives us some filters to try so I put in -15% drop in 5min bar.. and it does not work.. take CURE/BTC for example.. in the last fime minutes it dropped from .000038 to .00036 .. that is not -20%.. So your scanner is finding 24hour drops, not 5min drops.. therefore your filters don't work.. So I like the scanner layout, and the easy filter configuration, but I cannot use it yet..

Have you heard from Coinigy on the market scanner since this post?

Luc, do you think you could do a video just on selecting coins that are thin, just to trade small dollar amounts? I know you have mentioned it in other videos, but maybe a full video if possible?
An example would be CURE/BTC.
I know the strategy isn't the same, but is the idea that you just wait for a base to happen(a spot where price gave a strong bounce), and then just buy that support?
On these types of trades, do you take the stops when they happen if price wants to go a bit below the entry? Or are you holding and adding like typical?
An example of the strategy I am thinking about can be seen in the pic:

Note how the horizontal scribbles are the bases I am thinking about, and are formed when there seems to be a 'lot of buyers' from that price where price bounces. The horizontal line next to the scribble, is just the approximate buy area.
In that second to last example in the pic, you'll see I have a box around that one example, would that be an example of something that might be a potential loss in this two month span of data? Or would that be buying a bit lower and looking for the bounce as the typical strategy of buying the panic dips?

First let me commend you on using two months of data and reading the chart to understand the story.. thats the right mindset, thats exactly how you need to think to be successful..
Second, all of these trades are on small amounts of money because the coin is thinly trades so there is never much at risk, but the percentage very good, so you will be playing with the house money before you know it..
I dont ever use stops, ever... I risk an apropriate amount, and if it drops i work off the new low.. Heres the thing, your choices for thin Coins have to give you high high percentages, like 30-100% per trade to be effective.. so that your playing with the house money quickly.. because if it drops you dont get hurt.. and in a drop then you can just start again at a lower price and then in the next big pop you make a ton.. ok, i really should do a video on this subject beacue there seems to be alot of questions about this... ill make one in the next few days and really explain this ...

Luc one other thing about news.
In the chance that you are trading a coin, and crazy news hits and causes something that is beyond a panic drop, do you have any sources that you go to, to search for such news?
Like ForexFactory typically has news about what is going on in various Continents each day. Is there anything like that for cryptos that you know of?
Just so that you would have an idea if a SERIOUS drop is in the works?

What are some of your favorite trollboxes? Ever since Kraken took theirs down, I haven't had a good source to turn to.
