First things first: I do not care about resistance.
I might take some profits around resistance areas, but it doesn't effect my trading much.. For me, its all about support/bases.. Lets dive into the charts and try to understand what those support/base areas are really telling us.
So I hope this video helped answer some questions about how to draw support/bases and feel confident about your trade entries. As you can see I usually layer into my trades and get bigger size the better the deal gets. But it takes time to feel comfortable trading this way, so keep your trade size small while your starting out.What were the 2 main points of the video:
(1) When evaluating a base, the bigger the bounce (reaction) off that base, the more safe it will be when there is a crack (surprise).. Draw your support/bases at the bottom of the big bounces.
(2) Keep your bases current. No need to go a month or two back to look for areas of support.
Sorry the video ran a little long (40 mins), Ill try to keep them shorter. But thanks for watching, your votes and comments keep me motivated to keep putting out more videos. Please let me know when you catch a good panic dive and make some $$. I love to hear everyone making good safe trades.

Awesome Job as usual. Pretty Helpful! I would be interested in how are you picking charts, Do you just scan one by one, I haven't really seen any scanners for crypto, Coinigy has one but not working yet.
Also what do you use to keep track of all you trades and earnings, mine would include a few losses too!! = )

I just make a list of all the coins that interest me and then have lots of volume and movement.. then I add them to my favorites in Coinigy.. then I simply put price alerts on them.. I dont really have losses, so I dont keep track of my trades other than to watch my totals on all the exchanges continue to go up each day.

I can't speak for luc on what he uses but I use an app called Blockfolio. It lets you add the coins you want to watch and put alarms that you set when it goes to that price you set. Also lets you input your trades you made and shows how much of a gain or loss that trade currently is.

Hi Luc, thank you for another great video, very thorough explanation on the bases and where to buy. Can you do a similar one showing how do you sell? expected bounces etc?
for instance yesterday I got into this trade:
Then a few hours later:
Because you said that we should exit in the first bounce, that's what I've tried to do, but then it bounced again. Did I exit too soon?
Thanks again for your videos. keep them coming ;)

You should draw your base line on the chart so I can see what you were thinking.. If your base line was at .00025 then you could have expected a bounce back to that level , and it did give you that bounce,... but I wouldnt have taken that trade in the first place, even tho it did work, I dont like the risk reward, there isnt enough profit potential percentwise to justify getting in.. your dialed in too small on the chart, and I dont see a real base on a one hour bar chart, for you to make that trade, and see a base, you would need to be working off a 15min chart, and I dont think its worth it..

Question: I think, I understood how to get into a trade (draw a base, setup alarms, increase position sizing on the way down to decrease avg price), but how (and when) we should get out ? And especially interested what you do if there is no bounce (or very weak bounce)?
What is the course of auctions in that case?
Thank you for doing those videos.

Unless you get horrid horrid news, you should always get a bounce to the base that got you in the trade in the first place.. so exit anywhere around there, but i generally dont exit my full position.. I always save a little for later on.. like maybe 20% to either save as an investment or sell later higher

Perhaps in future videos you could also explain how much to sell after the bounce. Are you selling 80% of your coins? 100%? Does it depend? If it does depend, then on what?
Awesome video. Thanks!

I sell most of my coins on the bounce, because I cannot predict the future.. So I just make a profit and sell.. but if it was an awesome trade where I make, lets say 40% on the trade, then I would only sell half and hold the rest.. but if i made only 20% on the trade then I would hold only 20% of the position and so forth. I usually hold my profits on the trade.

It's nice to see that someone want to help the community , and all that for free. Huge respect!
Now when we know how to determine base, would be nice to see video how you determine when to get in a trade and when to get out :) Do you have some exact rulles, for example when base break for lets say 10% get in, when is down 20% get more.., and when is back to base get out?

Im glad your getting some value from my videos.. There is no mathematical system for getting in and getting out.. you cannot predict the future, so thats why I layer in my trades.. Who knows how far it will drop.. but it will bounce back to the base that was cracked, so anywhere just under the base is a great place to take profits.. now there is a little more info that can help you predict where to enter and exit.. and thats volume and tape reading.. but ill get to that in another video..

Do you use the same method for trading low volume coins? And do you use sideways base(like trendlines serving as support) if the coin is in a longterm uptrend/downtrend, or are these not fit for this method?

I dont use the same method for low volume coins.. low volume coins are soo bouncy that you can just try to buy the lows and sell any pop.. its not the same, but since the volume is low you can only take small positions, so there isnt much risk (or profit).. and no I never use trendlines.. never

Thanks a ton for the video, it really helped to clarify some of the questions I had and why I was doing poorly on my first couple of trades. My main issue was drawing non-existent bases at levels of standstill rather than bounces. I am playing around with a relatively small amount of money in the market and I was wondering what a good entrance amount would be to start out with if I decide to get serious about this...$500? $1000?

I started with $300.. and Im sure if i started with $300 again, I would be able to run it up to a few thousand quite quickly.. small accounts have the advantage of being able to trade lower volume coins.. and they give out big percentages fast.. Its a bit of a different strategy tho..

Thank you so much Luc for these amaaazing videos!! I think I am able to spot the bases pretty accurately now but have some confusion around understanding the profits.
For example, if I see that there is a base crack for STEEM/ETH, I can buy STEEM using ETH and sell it when it eventually comes back to base or goes over it. but what if the price of ETH also goes down and up during that same period? wouldn't that affect the profit margins as well or am I missing something very obvious here?
Thanks!

You really have to go back and read the chart for the Steem/ETh pair and see if every crack gets a bounce.. If they would have all worked out, then you can feel confident that this next trade will too (regardless of what ETH is doing)

Hi Luc . Thanks again. I have a question. How to differentiate if there is a panic or a trend. First I'am using 1H bar chart and 1 month to recognize the Main Bases. One bar is clear, but what about if the price falls at the same level in about 3 bars and there is a little mini support in the first bar. It is a bit complicated cuz sometimes price return to the main level (100%) or a bit lower (80%) and other cases the price can't pass the mini level (into the panic) so I put more money at the bottom to get a lower average price. Thanks for any help and thanks again.

If your working on a one hour bar chart, you have to read the history of the chart.. How far does a panic typically fall? whats the longest panic you can see within 2 months back? is your present dip/panic anywhere near that deep a fall? those type of questions will guide you to get in a the right spot and not too early

I don't know if this will help you, but I find it easier to use the ellipse drawing tool for safety circles> It is easier to see for me than using the brush (which is what you use). To draw in bases I use the trend line instead of the brush as well, I added arrows and made the lines thicker in yellow to make it clear to me that this is clearly a base.

This approach instantly caught my attention. Probably, the most deterministic solution on the market! One question: do you place your sell orders on specific levels before the bounce happens or you place them in real time? Sometimes price doesn't reach the base level.

Thanks for the help!

Hiya, Luc!
What do we do when we've had a significant bounce, drawn the base...and then the price plummets anyway? I've attached my chart.
Am I misreading this? Was that bounce after base 3 not strong enough?
After some thought, I'm going to try to answer my own question. Maybe you can tell me if it's right.
The issue with price breaking below base 3 is that, yes, it did "crack"...but the DROP was not steep. Instead, it broke the base 3 support barrier a little and then kept bouncing around. This should have made me cautious that the price may continue to drop, as it in fact did. For me to be confident that I have a real crack, the drop should have been DRAMATIC, meaning the buyers will freak and struggle to restore it to its previous base.
Is that right?
But note I'm still unsure how to read the rightmost part, after base 5.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
It's a bit simpler than your own answer. Your base 3 wasn't a big crack in either % drop or angle/speed of drop. After that little shelf started turning down, that's when I would have started thinking the move down might hit that base 2, therefore using base 2 as my base and buying in below base 2 with a sell near that second shelf in that second circle you drew to the right of what you call your base 3.
