5 Points to Retirement.

Want to retire in Crypto?
This thread might be for you.

How to make it with trading Crypto.

A THREAD.
I talked to @johnnie_jacks about his Crypto journey.

He won't say he has completely retired BUT Crypto has changed his life to an extend and he will be on his way to Retirement soon.

His comments are in '' Quotes '' and I have then added my commentary.
About Johnnie.

1. Caught bottoms and tops multiple times.

2. Invested early in many 100x including Solana.

3. Catches trends early.

4. TA better than 99% of CT.

This is all the praise I can do without being paid for it.
1. "Stop concentrating on making money. Concentrate on making a good trade."

Beginners are so fixated on
'Oh this is going to go up'
'Oh XYZ said this is a 100x coin'

They forget that they are supposed to take good trades.
What this means is, you're supposed to concentrate on taking bets on good SETUPS.

Find setups, not hopium.
Concentrate on good trading and forget about the money for a while.
2. "Make sure you have other source of income besides trading."

Johnnie runs a business whilst also doing Crypto and trading almost full time.
I would say that if you currently have a job, don't quit it to trading.
Learn to trade WHILE you have a job.
And once you get to decide to trade/Crypto full time, make sure you have another source of income that you can rely on.

Could be anything like Rent income, royalty, commission or any business that you're a partner in.
If you don't trade to meet your monthly bills, you stay sane and trade better.

So always have a second source of income.

Also, he didn't start with zero.
Saved enough money from business to start trading
3. "Don't add complexity too quickly. The best traders keep it simple."

Beginners tend to chase a new indicator, a new tool, a new system.

Try keeping things simple and slowly moving to new tool.

Tools are just statistics. Tools don't help, how you use those statistics help.
Just keep in mind, any system, execution of reliance on any tool should have a LOGIC behind it. That's all.

I see how much of TA being just voodo and feels like astrology.

No logic, no statistics = Garbage.
4. "Avoid leverage as a beginner. It is a tool to be used by experienced traders for specific reasons. If you use it too soon, you’ll lose money."

You can't use a drug unless you've learnt it enough. It's going to kill you soon enough.
Example- I use leverage to avoid exchange holding exposure. Don't rush into it.
5 - "Work hard and be patient. You’ll be a terrible trader for quite a long while. Be resilient enough to push though it and cut out the noise - the beginners who make it big, quickly are lucky and you can’t rely on luck."

No commentary needed.
As I could say, you can't become rich quick. People who become rich quickly either go insane or to prison.

I hope this had cleared a few doubts for you.
Getting perspective of people who do trading successfully is a good check.

See you soon week.

Some Changes I would make to my trading if I started again.

1. A few winning trades is a myth. Don't Listen to stupid influencers who keep telling you that you just need a few winning trades. You can't 2x your portfolio by risking it all in one trade and then assume you'll keep doing the same forever.
You need to risk small or maybe higher if you're very sure about the trade with higher conviction.
Higher risk has always blown portfolios. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling a course for a living.
Small risks, many trades. If you're really sure or early or have insider info about a trade, then can skew the risk higher.
2. For swing trading, nothing is more important than market structure and people make losses because they don't want to believe the market structure or keep holding onto a losing trade, even when they can see a different market structure.

Market Structure is there for a reason, use it, study it and believe in it.
3. You can't me use the same mindset, data and zones for different types of trading.
Each type of trading, Scalping, swing or investment is to be done in different time scales and you need a different zone and need to ignore a few zones for different time length of trading.

How to Build a Scanning System 💯

You should have clear Steps to be followed when looking at a new Chart. No guess work.

A Thread. Image
Step 1. Select Time Frames

One Month Chart.
Investment for One Year+

Weekly Chart
Minimum 3 Month to 1 Year Positional trades.

Daily Chart
7 Days to 3 Months Short Term Positional.

Hourly Chart
Planning to Exit the Next day or within 7 Days.

30 Minutes
Exiting withing 24 Hours.

5 Minute Chart
Day Trade. Exiting the same day or Session.Image
Step 2. Find Levels of Interest.

Timeframe to draw levels should be higher than Execution Timeframe.

Eg:
Want to trade the Hourly Chart.
Then Levels to be drawn on the 4H and Daily chart.

Altcoin Price Update 💯

A Mega Thread for All Major Altcoins and how to trade them.

Book Mark and Study for your trades.
BNB

Since our last update, we flipped the 0.0093 resistance level, now forming a new range
Expecting a small range against BTC here before continuation higher.

Suggestion - Hold on to bottom entries if you bought with me around $500. Image
SOL

Tricky situation, if we hold range high we just flipped, I expect to reach $170 soon

Bidding region would be under $135 sweep based on BTC chart. Image

4 New Data Driven Indicators I use for scalping.
Image
1. Visible Range OI Delta Profile on @coinalyzetool

Shows where traders are entering and exiting. Use this like VPVR.

Use this indicator on LTF to identify trading levels in a trending market.

In range, use this to scalp on either side as target when price deviates. Image
2. Aggregate OI:

Having net open interest across all trading pairs is very useful.
Sometimes, one exchange will market enter large long positions while there is no action or selling action on other exchange. This filters out misinterpretation of that data to a large extent. Image
