Lets discuss together a professional trader mindset..
Also I have received questions on where to sell and how to build small accounts. Im having a rough day, with a bad headache, but I still want to deliver some content for everyone, especially when BTC and ETH are making new lows..
As always, thank you for watching, upvoting, and commenting. I hope you are finding these videos helpful in your trading. A special thanks to all those who include charts in there posts, it really helps me answer you when I can see what your doing.

I posted this on your other post, but i'll put it here in case you are not checking the comments on the other one.
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.

This method seems to work great on a down-trending chart but how would this work on an up-trend? The base would not be broken on an up-trending chart. How would that work?

thats why you have to collect some of these coins and keep them.. trade them now and make some profit but keep some stored away with your profits, so that you can enjoy the ride up, when things change.. there are many stratagies you can use to participate on the way up, because as things go up every trade works.. but yeah, i should discuss this in my next video

Hey Luc, hope you're feeling better. Are there any exchanges that allow you to invert the trading pair?
As in, trade ETHUSDT using your method on the way down and then if the market turns around, switch to trading USDTETH.

that is the same pair.. regardless of how they lable it.. it would work the same.. when you make a trade your simply exchanging one for the other

OK, thanks.. I was hoping that the charting would allow us to trade your method (long) whether the price of, say ETH in my example, is going up or down without having to short. I figure the exchanges only want to price using certain base currencies. Thanks again!

hi luc....I too am an options, stock and futures trader. I am opening an account on cex.io. The question I have is, after you buy the currency, do you place it in a wallet or keep it on the exchange. This is all that is left for me to figure out before I start to trade. A video on what we have to do once we purchase the currency would be awesome along with the exchanges you trust and trade on.

coming from the stockmarket you might find some of these exchanges frustrating, because there is no help line to call if you have an issue with any trade, or a glitch in the exchange platform.. anyway think of the exchanges as your brokers, (even tho you cannot call them) and you simply buy and sell or trade the coins on there list.. you only send coins back in you wallet if your goin got hold them for a while.. Ofcourse there is the danger that an exchange will get hacked or close or something and you lose your coins.. that could happen so I spread out my coins at different exchanges, to keep me in the game

I keep my money in exchange simply due to the fact I don't think coinigy offers you to trade with money in your wallet, if you want some good exchanges check out kraken, bittrex, and I use poloniex too(which has had some bad rep lately) I know I'm not Luc, but I hope this helps(:

It wouldn't be as nice a chart or strategy in that case. Bitcoin and Ethereum both looked like that for a while tonight.
I think the answer is you simply would have to find something else to trade. It's not worth the risk of buying at a base and hoping it keeps going up. You may kick yourself when it goes up 10% without a crack, but you WILL kick yourself when you lose 10 or more % and have to hope it goes back up.

I would think you could use the same methodology. When it rises, on the first mini crash down (half way or even lower to its previous base) buy. Sell at 10-20% or whatever your target is. Repeat. Once you have a few rises and crashes you have data to look at and note how long the rises and crashes are and use that info to set your buys/sells if its a bull market. Does that make sense @quickfingersluc?

Hey Luc,
I'm testing it out, but there's an android app called Boilr that allows you to set alarms based on % change and time interval. I'm using BlueStacks Android Emulator to run it on my computer. I'll let you know if it seems to work, but you have to set each alarm up separately--yet it seems like you only have to do it once per coin per exchange.
Alternatively you could also run it on your phone. I set a test alarm (1% change in 5 min) and it worked! It could be a poor man's market scanner in the interim, provided you take the time to manually add an alarm for each crypto (unsure if there's a max alarm limit).

Would it be possible to maybe give us homework? Say, Luc's top 5 coins/charts to look into. You don't have to tell us where the bases are or anything like that, but just the names of them and then we can do our own work within in them and maybe post our results to see if we are identifying the bases correctly and if anyone does a buy/sell they can show off their trades.

Hey Luc, following along since about a week and watching past videos, thanks for the great insight you give. And get well soon, amazing that you even took the time to make this video.
I tried your method and it worked (of course!), although I did make a mistake and maybe sold too soon there, but at least it was profit so that's good :).
The 'Oops' refers to the mistake I made, guess was too excited to get in the coin again haha. But the next two buys were great I think, almost at the bottom. In for 3 buy moments now, average at about 0.083 so waiting for it to bounce (now at 0.084). For now 5 to 10% would we fine by me. For ETH that's a nice percentage I guess. And after that sell just wait for the next buy opportunity.
Probably should have sold after the Oops and Yes. Then make that Yes the new base. That would have pushed me to sell the final Yes in this chart already at 0.082 - 0.084.

It's impressive to see that you bought 3 times right at the low point. It looks like the first 2 were at support, but how did you decide to take the third trade at that point?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Thanks, beginners luck? I hope not :) ..
The third buy moment you mean? That was a mistake for sure, don't know why I did that. Depending on which coin I'm trying to sell at 5%, 7.5% and 10%. Also trying to buy like 5% below a base and then further down. That's a new goal at least. Which in case of ETH seem reasonable, although sometimes you see 30%+ on a day, but yeah you have to be there and read the story of the chart like Luc says. Not even close to what he is doing. Last week I also traded AE/BTC, just a small amount like maybe $40 but that got me almost 40% in a few days. But very low volume coin that AE thing, be careful with it. So for some coins it is possible to get 20%+ percentages on a trade. Just set the sell orders up and try not to touch them :) Have a little faith right ;) ?

Been following this low volume coin, and just a few minutes ago my alert got triggered (account in process so its not a buy order)then it dropped below 0.00001000 down to 0.00000911, by the time I pulled the chart up (some 30 seconds later) the price already jumped back up 25%. You can see on the chart I provided it just happened. Now my question is had I had a buy order down there at where I had my alert would I have gotten in down there? Or would that drop in price have happened too quickly. Kinda threw me for a loop, but if I'm looking at it right I could of had a quick 25% profit had I set a buy order down where I had an alert set, correct?

You would have gotten it.. the exchange doesnt skip orders.. we dont have a book like the stock market where participants can buy anywhere on the level 2.. so you would have been executed, because you would have been in the line up on the bid.. This happens to me all the time..25% in a minute

I had two alerts, one at 1000 and one at 900, the 1000 one went off since it dove past that to 911. I set my alerts that low for this exact reason to see if theres a quick drop like there seems to be on previous recent areas of the chart. It just all happened so fast, I doubt I could of manually done anything about it, just curious if the buy order would of taken place since the dive down and bounce back up was so fast and furious.

Could you do this lucs method upside down. I mean I just tested it with bitfinex eth/usd chart randomly and when things move up after huge move down it tends to come back to the previous base. Its bit hard to figure first but seems to be accurate in various spots. So you should basicly start selling your ethereum in these spots or use margin trading shorting. What do you think?
All those upper supports, if it had broken them it would have came back. I used the min 10% bounce down in this example
Not sure how this shorting works, does it have leverage or can you short without leverage, at least you have to pay interest.

I´m watching/reading all your Post and also all the comments in this great community. I really appreciate when you use the terms "us" and "our group". This shows what your intentions really are about. Helping others discovering the huge potential in cryptos.
I´m just starting trading and bought my first ETH and BTC on coinbase and set up accounts on Bittrex and Kraken so far. I even managed to link them both to Coinigy. What I have problems with is, how to send the funds to the trades and implement them to coinbase, so I can start trading?
Also what wonders me is, how do you keep track off all the currencies you own? Or do you trade only BTC/ETH against other coins and back?

Looks like a couple of drops past a base. Could the sudden surge in Bitcoin price be causing this? I've had quite a few alerts go off at the same time bitcoin rises all the way to 2700-2800.

I was just about to ask the same question, had several alerts to detect falls in prices and began to sound all together. I suppose it is because the prices in the other currencies are relative to bitcoin. Unfortunately I bought when the bitcoin had not yet increased and now my purchases are in red, I will wait until tomorrow to see what happens.
I think it's a good time to buy

Yeah I've been going back and forth in my head whether or not to buy. I haven't pulled the trigger on buying bitcoin yet, and I feel like now would be a terrible time to buy some because the price is skyrocketing. At the same time I could miss out on some pretty good trades.

Hi Luc,
Do you set all your sell orders as soon as you buy ?
For example :
When you buy at the bottom, do you set an alert and wait to sell, or do you systematically place a sell order at the previous base ? (but then you'd probably miss % if it goes above the base).

yup, i set up sell orders right away.. I set up several all the way up .. but if the coin jumps up very fast.. I will cancel all orders and sell out quick.. a fast trade is better than a long wait.. Always take a gift in the market.. and redeploy your capital on another trade.. time is money.. but if it just slowly grinds up then I leave orders to sell as it slowly makes its way to the base and perhaps beyond..

Hope you're feeling better and thank you for your all posts/videos. I'm learning a lot.
I had a question in regards to you trading newly listed coins and/or IOUs. In all of your videos you preach looking at a minimum of about 2 months to determine the probability of a trade, however, with these newly listed coins there isn't enough data yet to fully analyze and get a feel of public sentiment. How do you go about trading these types of coins?

You need as much data as you can get, to get a story for what your probabilities are.. so if you dont have much data then you have to keep you trades small.. greater risk=less size trades

Thank you for the response, Luc. Could you describe your setup as far as dual+ monitors, best way to view the charts, any particular settings/features you use? I'm struggling with setting up the charts for viewing. When I try to zoom out to view the larger picture (1-2 months) I have a hard time finding the true bases because everything is so condensed and I can't really make out things as clearly so I'm constantly zooming in out of habit. I can't help it and every time I try to adjust the chart it always gets jacked up and moves all over the place and I lose my position. What's the best way to view everything simply? I feel really stupid not being able to easily scroll through and view a chart so I can implement your methods but it gets messed up every time. Maybe my settings are too sensitive. I don't know but it's driving me crazy that I can't even look at a chart right. Any tips to make this easier would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome back I enjoyed your old videos. I have taken a few things from your videos and integrated it into my trading, though I do trade differently. I'm not sure what advice has been given to you yet about securing accounts, etc. but I am going to give a few tips that have helped me immensely:
Use a password manager such as LastPass(this is what I use) and let it generate a secure, complex, unique, long password for every website. At least use if for the websites that security is a must.
Use 2 factor authentication wherever possible, particularly on important account related websites.
Your primary email that you use for logging into your financial websites(broker, bank, exchanges) you absolutely must use 2 factor, and have the longest most complex password possible. This is where LastPass shines as it can auto-fill that password for you. If someone gets into your primary email they can reset your password all over the place and have access to everything. It actually is not a bad idea to use a separate email just for your secure accounts.
If you do use LastPass, use a fairly long password and do not lose it as you cannot reset it like other places. Do not allow your browser to save this password and require re-logging periodically.

Do you think ETC is a buy right now, or do you consider this dip to not be a "Surprise"? If it drops to 0.006 I'm going to get in (unless you reply to this first and advise otherwise). Thanks again for sharing your knowledge man, it's greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the screen shot.. 1st thing is I think your not on 1hr bars, and on the one hour timeframe AMP has not been trading properly, its missing the bounces.. So for that reason I stopped buy it for now.. 2nd, your not allowing a base to form and then a panic below the base..

It doesn't look like you're following Luc's method here. His strategy is to wait until the price goes below a base, when there's a panic and a sharp dive down in price. In this case it looks like you're buying right at the base and hoping it will turn around there.
I should know, I've done this plenty. Just be careful not to get burned trying to predict where a price will go. What's great about Luc's technique is there's very little guessing involved - the price is so deflated by the time he buys, there's built-in upward pressure for it to recover.

I agree @wisebeardy, it isn't Luc's method. I'm learning his as well. The AMP purchase is using an RLZ around the 78.6 fib for an entry level, looking at the overall trend. It's more of a longer term trade. Momentum indicators and market structure are used in conjunction with price location. But . . I really love Luc's method. Hoping to incorporate it for day trading.

Hey Luc you're on a roll with these videos. They have answered every single question I have had. Can you tell me how you keep track of your profits and how you manage to not put all your profits into your next trades? Also do you move your profits off the exchange? You always talk about taking the profits out and keeping your original amount to trade with for free coins. I am using a smallish account and find it hard to keep track of everything unless I go to my orders and see how much was traded and even then I don't keep my profits.

When you have a small account and you're setting buy orders on these low volume coins hoping for quick drops, do you have to be careful about not setting too many buy orders?
Like if I only have $1,000 and the amount of buy orders I set amount to more than that and they suddenly go off and execute the buy what happens? Will the buy orders that you no longer have enough funds for just not get processed?
I ask because I feel like to truly take advantage of those quick drops in price you're gonna have to set up a lot of little buy orders, kind of like little traps, I just don't want to overextend, but at the same time don't want to miss out by not having a buy order ready for those quick 25% gifts ya know. I hope I explained myself properly lol.

You cannot set too many buy orders, the exchange wont let you.. You can only set up buy orders equal to the amount of money you have availible.. and these are high percentage trades, so if you have $1,000 dollars, i would split that up, into atleast 3 parts.. $330 $330 $340 and then trade three different low volume coins.. even if you make 20-30% on a trade = lets say $100 profit per trade, that only takes you 10 trades or so before you have doubled your account.. but you have alot less risk than putting all 1,000 on the line in one trade.. 10 trades go by fast, maybe 2 weeks and you will double your account.. thats how powerful this type of trading can be on a small account

Thanks for sharing this Luc! Check out my 1st trade on BTC/USDT:

I didn't realize that USDT was the tether coin that is basically a coin pegged to the dollar....so I had to sell 5% of my BTC for USDT to get into the trade.
I made a few mistakes along the way and realized I'll have to keep some USDT in my balance so I can make all the UDST trades that come up in the future.

Thanks for this video Luc. I was wondering if it's worth or even possible to trade altcoins paired with BTC in channels (instead of trading pops/pumps)? I did some trades on SNM/ETH that you showed in your videos and some other coins and it worked fine, but I've looked over like 100 coins on Bittrex and didn't really find any coins that would move with high volatility like most ETH pairs do. And also, do you care about round numbers when trading? It seems that often there are going to be bases or resistance around 1, 1.5, 2 etc. Maybe that might help in gauging the bounce or dip size.

I only trade low volume thinly traded coins (account builders) in ranges.. its not predictable enought to try to do that with larger coins like ETH.. they break out of there range too easily.. thats why I trade ETH off bases and panics.. I read the charts and let the chart story tell me what strategy I should be using.. and yup, round numbers are important, because humans are the traders, and thats how they think.. so as an example 200 on ETH was great support in the past

Luc: I am growing concerned I may have made a mistake. ETC/ETH is experiencing a panic drop today, I bought at more than 10% below the base in the middle of the panic. https://www.coinigy.com/s/i/596e66abc6b56/
After this buy I checked out the ETC/USDT and ETC/BTC charts, both were climbing at the same time. Thats when it dawned on me that ETH is skyrocketing today, which is in turn decreasing the value of the ETC/ETH pairing - in fact virtually all of the ETH pairings that I watch are diving huge, my alerts are triggering so quickly I cannot keep up.
Should I have considered the strength of ETH prior to making this trade, or do you think it was fine? Am I being overly cautious? Should I have realized that when ETH skyrockets, it can negatively affect the alt-coin pairings that are traded with Etherium?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
yes and no.. I agree that the drop is due to the value of ETH increasing fast.. however based on the chart of ETC alone, your entry is pretty good.. I would have drwn your base around .081ish tho and you should scroll out your chart to see a more fuller picture, but i think you will be fine, because I looked at the bigger chart and it has a great history of returning to its bases.. so in my opinion your entry is good, but make sure you participate in selling the next bounce, because you didnt catch the bottom on this and your profit % potential is not that high..
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I reviewed 6 months of data before choosing the base at .078, I posted a more zoomed in chart only because I thought it would better express the post - we are on the same page. My base was initially at .081, but I revised the base to .078. Why would you choose the higher base, rather than the more conservative .078? I suspect there will be a good lesson to be learned for me in your response.
Can you go into greater detail about reviewing the gains or losses of coin pairings prior to placing trades? I intended to layer in and buy more as it approached the bottom, but I got gunshy - I wanted to wait until I understood the cause and effect of ETH skyrocketing so quickly, and ETC dropping like a rock before I placed any additional trades. So many opportunities yesterday to trade on ETH coin pairings, but without this understanding I felt it was best to sit out until I better understand why ETH's rise is affecting coin prices and how best to take advantage of it with my trades.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I choose my bases by the bounce they recieve.. ETC bounced from 81ish to 96.. the 78 you are refering to had no bounce (on the Bittrex chart) so it doesnt qualify as an area where buyers were willing to move in on the price and buy...
As far as your question on coin pairings.. Everything relates to eachother in the market.. So lets say ETC is paired with ETH... but ETC is also paired with BTC.. if BTC stays constant but ETH falls in value on the ETH/BTC pair, then what happens to ETC/ETH pair.. because all three are paired against each other..But its only ETH thats falling.. so should ETC lose BTC value? Or should ETC/BTC stay the same but ETC/ETH go up, since ETH is going down.. its pretty complicated to think about, but each coin in a pair effects the other pair relationships.. So basically if one coin is having a big move, in relation to BTC then you can expect other coins to react that are connected in pairing.. And i know that doesnt give you an exact answer but there really is no metric for this, because its not like the stock market, where there is one base currency, its like forex, where pairs are effected by other pairs.. Thats why its always best to trade the chart, and not let things get too overly complicated.

Hi luc ! thanks again for everything
I know you covered something similar in a video but I have to ask
In the chart I uploaded I drew some bases .. but since there are no close bases more than the left far one .. in this case can I consider it a base ? or it was too far and should be ignored?
Thanks again .. appreciate all your help in the videos and replies :)

Nope, sorry, that is not a base in my books.. you have to actually wait for ETH to pull back and form a base and then bounce hard off that base to give you a current understanding of where the crowd supports the price.. and it will soon, that was too fast of a tare

Thanks a lot ! That's what I actually did .
But I think I made another different mistake .. which happened to me before.
I bought when it broke the new base,but it didn't bounce that hard.. what do you suggest next? to wait more ?(days) or to accept this loss and get on with a different trade ..
When should we accept the loss and move on ?(I mean in time)

sorry I cannot get to these questions very fast..

Thanks again for another great video! Sorry that you weren't feeling the greatest today. Been loving the videos, Made some really nice trades so far.
I was wondering if you could maybe do a video about a different trading technique on how to trade on an extremely Bullish chart, something like what was going on back in May. Maybe I haven't looked closely enough but back in May it seemed like a lot of coins, Ethereum especially were just going up so much that they never really broke any bases for quite awhile.
Just curious if there is any safe ways to trade on that kind of trend in the event that in the next few weeks or months down the road we get a similar situation. I'm mostly wondering because if I'm sitting with most of my portfolio in USDT waiting for bases to crack, I could miss big gains if everything skyrockets back to all time highs or further.
I know you say you don't breakout trade so I'm curious what you think someone with a smaller account should do when the market turns around. Just grab a few strong coins and ride them up, or maybe there's a strategy to getting in and out of positions in that scenario?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I often say to everyone in the videos that I hold some of most of the coins I trade.. you have to start building a portfolio of coins.. and even though the market turns up and you feel like your missing a large opportunity because you are not all in, you will still realize huge gains because you are sitting on all those free coins.. plus, trust me, there are always new trades and big swings to get you in.. its always a win win situation.. all the trades you take on the little coins will work even better with a bull market.. basically any trading system works in a bull market.. but mine even works in a bear market

Quick question, would it wiser to trade pairs where one of them is a Fiat like USD or EUR? I understand that when trying to get more BTC (or ETH) you should trade BTC/ETH for example.
But because BTC/USD is going up and down so much, ETH/USD or ETH/EUR would seem wiser. Except of course if you want to hold BTC for later, like a couple of years: but predicting the future is hard..
Everybody needs to pay bills with 'real money' since it is not possible yet to pay everything using a crypto currency.

I dont worry about the ups and downs of the BTC im holding, or the BTC im using to trade other coins with.. if you keep switching back to fiat then you will miss many many good trades.. so you have to reserve some BTC to use for trading other coins.. its all part of the business

My thoughts: If you're not using the BTC you're making to pay the bills, then the weekly ups and downs don't matter as much. All that matters is the long term BTC trend. Which is up up up.

Hello Luc, thanks for your awesome tips you share with us. I just watched your whole new YT channel and I want to test my new knowledge.
I'm long term holder of STRATIS, so I wanted to try this base trading on my favourite coin. I know there are no that big swings (most of them are like 5 to 10%) but may I ask you if I understood bases correctly and marked them right?
http://imgur.com/a/5u6zP
Also how you find good coin swings? You just look at coinmarket.com, coinigy etc., and check 24h% change? And than you starting analyse these coins which made it to the second round? :)

In my opinion your chart is too small.. you need a bigger picture to draw in effective bases.. yours may work out, on that small timeframe, but you would have to find run the odds on that small timeframe and make small percentages for alot of extra risk.. Thats why I use bigger timeframes :
then the bases are clear and work well..
As far as finding trades go: just pick a bunch of coins you are interested in, that you like the charts, and set up alerts on all of them, under there bases.. and sit back and wait for the alerts.. the more you set, the more often you will get alerted.. dont set too many or you won't get any sleep

Yes, the chart is small (MacBooK 13" is pain, I envy you your wide monitors) thank you for advice! I was just trying if I understand your way of trading and I did couple of 5-6% quick trades.
Finding trades: Yes I though you do this in bigger way. Also for me its limited, because I have like only Bitfinex and Poloniex account, but I will add soon more, to get bigger chance to get these trades.
So your morning, evening (some time of the day) looks like you check all exchanges you participate, rewrite bases(on mind) and than set new alarms, and than just wait? And when coin became like 7-10% profit you keep closer eye on it? Because in my hight volume coins I find mostly like 3-6% swings...

Hey Luc, I was wondering if you could share how you look up news on a coin. Today, my alert for EDG went off at .00017 for EDG/BTC on BTRX and it was a huge spike down (-30% at the time of the notification and eventually down to -50%) I wanted to buy some but was afraid there was some really bad news that caused the sudden drop. I tried to google things like "EDG News" but couldn't find anything and eventually just decided to not buy any since I have a small account. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for all your help!

Edgeless and a couple of other ICO's had their ETH stolen today from a vulnerability that was found in Parity wallets version 1.5 and higher. About $30MM was stolen from these wallets. I'm not sure where this will put edgeless in terms of moving forward but this is definitely a huge blow for them if they're out of funds.

I dont have a good source for you.. I really wish i did.. I end up scrambling like everyone, trying to find out what happened.. i missed EDG 11s bounce to 18s if i remember right.. I missed because I was trading swt, what a drop.. and then later bounced right back up from 27s to 85s .. unreal.. i made a little, but not anything like i could have if i held a bit

@earlybirdspecial: where did you found these "stolen" news?

@lowtohigh It was all over twitter while it happened. I'm sure you can google it now and see edgeless funds stolen or multi-sig parity wallet hacked and get more details.

Hey Luc sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Do you like this base at 14? It's currently Monday night and we're sitting pretty at 9. I like this base but wanted your feedback and anyone else on steemit that follows you.
Cheers!

Ooh thats a tricky one.. the chart looks awesome, but that one drop from 17 to 10 was big and it did bounce imediatly to 1300, when the base could have arguably been at 1350.. so its hard to say if it will go back up to 14 anytime soon.. then that bounce off 8s to almost 11s is again huge percentages, so I thing you have to accept 8s as a base.. its such a good chart that im not sure how to advise you.. its somewhere between a low volume account builder type of play and a regular chart .. So I would just make your entries small and try to milk it for a while off any new low you get..just buy all new lows.. thats what seems to work.. I would also be layering in on this one, because its shown that it can panic dip..

Hi canada-tothemoon
I think that if you move down to 1h chart that would be a great winner, with more than 10% winning .
It jumped up to your 14 base in the next green candle.
please correct me if I'm wrong, just learning like you.

Hey Luc,
Greetings from Ireland :) - Thanks for your amazing videos! I have made a few successful trades (first time trading anything) by watching your videos!
Can you take a look at this chart to see if I am going the right direction. If I am reading this right there is quite a strong base at this level once is cracks I am thinking of putting in my buy orders at the last circle. What do you guys think?
Any advice would be great!

i dont put much faith in old support lines, only current ones.. so i wouldnt draw a base line that far back.. and then you are also looking at a low low volume coin.. so the base lines mean even less.. I would say that your circle has a high high high chance of profiting, but basically any new low would have the same chance of profiting on a chart that low volume.. if you look at he chart over the past month there is not one new low that wouldnt have worked.. no need for bases with this chart

Hey Luc, I finally signed up for my steemit account. I made a fantastic trade yesterday, and while I did get an awesome return, I would like your opinion on it. Was it too risky, or was I thinking correctly?

My actual return was about 20%, as I wasn't quick enough to get the bottom.

looks awesome for a daytrade type trade.. its always soo hard to catch the bottom when its a quick daytrade type drop.. but any profit is a good profit, and you cannot complain about a sweet 20%

Hi Luc,
thanks for all your great videos!
I still haven't traded at all, but am more confident now to try it.
For days now I followed the ETH charts and traded in mind and all trades were profitable. ;)
Now I lake to start, but I'm still confused about one thing: when do I use a market and when a limit order? Market order because of more speed?
Thanks in advance,
Marcus

Hey Luc, thanks for the videos, they are really helpfull.
You said in the other video that in case you have the market scanner you will set alerts in case the price of a coin drops for 10% in the last 5 min. Don't you think that 5 min is too short, i think that a good interval might be 30min or 1hour. I don't think i ever saw a coin drops by 10% in the span of 5 min.

the market scanner would be for daytrading pimarily.. I agree that ETH and BTC and such dont ever drop 10% in 5 mins, and we will continue to trade these using alerts that we set in Coinigy.. But there are many lower volume, thinner coins that do drop very fast and will make small fast trades possible.. Look at FUN/BTC.. i got that spike down yesterday

Whats happening with the PSD coin is pump & dump. There are several groups on telegram, some with 20k+ members that announce to buy a certain coin at a certain time, etc. So the suggestion is for those who want to look deeper into those coins probably good idea to join those groups and you can be ready for the pump and hope you hit! Coins are often repeated in pumps every few days within a couple weeks (or more) time frame period.

Good point, sure looks like a pump and dump. Putting in orders should take care of this though. If you buy it when it's relatively low, you can just put in a sell order for whatever point in the average spike that you want :)

there is never any fortelling how high it will go.. the spike depends on how big the buyers order was.. but you are in profit so thats a good sign, you might want to layer your sell order though, beacuse u dont have to factor in comissions

Hi Luc,
Hope you enjoyed your weekend.
I was going over your videos (thanks again for doing that, you are the men) trying to learn, but just one thing I was unable to figure out by myself.
OK, so how to draw a “baseline” and buy on a dip after cracking it – understood, no problem. What I didn’t understood are the mechanics of buying above a baseline in anticipation of a bull run.
Just to illustrate my question and save you some time I use pictures. In your previous video you mention that one can BUY in anticipation of a bounce from a baseline.
But those are the same baselines we expect to be cracked, right? How do I decide whether the price would bounce (BUY close but still above the baseline) or wait for a crack and BUY on a dip? That question really puzzles me.
For example, on this chart (FUN/BTC), what is the logic behind BUY above a baseline in anticipation of a bullish move in points D, E, F ? (tried to find different cases of a bounce on one chart)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I think you misunderstood me.. You use the current base to decide where to place your safe circle.. and you buy within that circle.. but you do have to see evidence of a panic.. In the example above I waited for the next lower base to crack because I saw a slow grind down in price, not a panic.. so I didnt feel as confident to buy.. however all bases worked, and all safe circles were actually safe..
There is no buy above a baseline in my strategy.. its only below

Thanks for your great posts Luc, I'm using your trading method and it has been pretty successful so far.
I thought I would share a MY method for getting rid of migraines with you. I suffer from them once every month or two, they stop me from functioning at all and it sometimes takes days to recover fully. About a year ago my Doctor suggested this -
I do this every time a feel a migraine coming on and usually stops it in its tracks.
Apologies for going a bit off piste on a trading thread but I hope this helps!

Hi Luc,
I recently came across your postings and videos and have watched most of them to learn about trading more, my question is this...
How do you keep track of your trades to make sure your making x% on them. Are you presetting auto sell levels? or are you manually selling them all based off alerts. I found myself getting lost in many trades into a coin and occasionally something that was left over from a previous trade i would mistakenly sell it off instead of keeping it, basically wiping out the profits i just made... i have found myself doing this multiple times....

Hi Luc,
Maybe a little bit of a late reply on this video, but I did not know how else I could send you a question and this video seemed appropriate for my question.
I'm going trough every single one of your video's with great interest.
I'm still an early starter in trading. Just active for a couple of months and using a different strategy up to now. A few days ago I made a trade on SHIFT/BTC in BTRX.
I bought on 14th March at 3PM (GMT+1) at a price of 0.00024291. For the strategy I was using this was a good moment to buy. However the coin kept falling and never bounced back.
In the mean time I was watching your video's and was reflecting what I learned to this trade with SHIFT.
I started drawing bases and, for sure, I bought the SHIFT on the break of a base. I circled the buy order in the chart.
In the chart I outlined the bases of what I believe are the bases for SHIFT.
https://www.coinigy.com/s/i/5ab0317d6207b/
Do you agree that, based on the chart, the SHIFT/BTC should return the the baselevel 0.00024589. Or are the 5 hours directly after the buy, where the price moved around the base, messing-up my change of the price returning to its base?
More clearly visible in the zoomed chart.

Your reply is much appreciated.

Maurice.

The odds of price returning to .00024 is as close to 100% as I have ever seen.. That chart is beautiful, and I would expect the price to even spike past the 24s.. But make sure you have your orders set up in advance and layer them so no matter how much of a bounce you get you will participate
