1/ How do you BTFD, take profit and not get rekt when #crypto is bearish?

In a bull market, you can take a lighter approach to taking profit (TPing) as TPing too aggressively can be counterproductive.

In a bear market, an aggressive approach works best.

How?
2/ -- NEW BAG: CONSERVATIVE --
On new bags where I take profit conservatively my first objective is to secure initial investment (ii).

To do this I would take half my ii at 50% gain and the other half at 100% (from the start point). Strong resistance is an exception.
3/ -- NEW BAG: CHILL --
On new bags where I'm chill about TPing my first objective is still to secure initial investment (ii).

To do this I would take half my ii at 100% gain and the other half at 200% (from the start point). Strong resistance is an exception.
4/ -- CHILL VS. CONSERVATIVE --
I decide on a bag by bag basis which to use. Generally, I use the conservative approach but if it's a low market cap crypto, or a strong narrative that's pumping, like metaverse in October 2021, I will use the chill approach.
5/ -- BEAR TP --
In a bear trend buying on the way down can be dangerous if you do not take profit aggressively. I've got flak for buying dips in a bear trend but as long as you take profit aggressively the odds of a favourable outcome are higher than doing nothing.
6/ -- BEAR TP cont --
Taking profit in a bear trend is vital because it allows you to average down your position as you buy the dip. Check out my #BFTD thread for a breakdown on dip buying.
7/ -- BEAR TP cont --
Buying dips without taking profit is inefficient. The best way to build a bag in a downtrend is to take profit aggressively and buy the next time price dips. Here is how I do it, many of these were shared on CT/Discord prior to my buying and selling.
8/ -- BUYING A BEAR MARKET --
Bearish trends can turn into a full-blown bear market and rek you if you DCA.

So, in a bear trend, you should only buy good cryptos which you believe will survive a bear market. This is why I'm averaging into $PYR and $UOS.

Be picky!
9/ -- JUST WAIT --
A counterargument is to just wait for congestion to buy. My counter is that sometimes price turns too quickly. I believe my approach has potential for more favourable outcomes.

If things dump too fast my approach will not lead to a favourable outcome.
10/ -- BTC, ETH & MORE BUY LEVELS --
I share my buy levels in my analysis. Like I did with my recent $BTC, $ETH, $UOS, $PYR, $ROSE and $CHMB.

1/ How do you NOT get rekt in a bear trend or a bear market?

We've been in a two-month long bearish trend that could easily turn into a bear market.

I am not saying it will, I am saying it could. Once you accept that reality, you can plan for it.

Here is how?
2/ -- MY EXPERIENCE --
When I offer advice on bear markets someone is quick to point out I am too new. I trade in a team of 3 guys with decades of forex experience who switch to crypto Nov 2017 and saw the worst of the bear market. My plans are based on their experience.
3/ -- NARRATIVES --
There's plenty of profit to be made trading when $BTC is dumping if you choose the right #altcoins. You need to find trending narratives like #defi and #layer1 atm. Even #PlayToEarn is still pumping in the right context, like when it's on a new blockchain.

1/ @jimtalbot made a very good point in response to my dip thread. I said I would give a detailed response, here it is.

I believe both approaches are valid, and performance ultimately depends on what the market gives us.
2/ -- APPROACHES --
I need to make some assumptions here on Jim's trading, sorry if I get anything wrong.

In the below scenario, if consolidation occurs, Jim would outperform me. However, if we get a strong bounce, I leave myself open to a few more favourable outcomes.
3/ -- FAVOURABLE OUTCOMES --
My approach is approach has its roots in game theory. I am trying to give myself the most favourable outcomes so that despite what happens, I end up ahead.

I don't know if this is a bear market or if it's a quick dip before a major run.

1/ #BTFD they all say, but they never say HOW.

Buying the dip is a science.

The more $BTC bleeds, the more #altcoins bleed. With blood comes profit. Red is green.

In this MEGA-THREAD I'll show you how to turn red into green.

Like, retweet and follow for more 😘
2/ -- DIP FUND --
I routinely tell people to keep a min of 30%-50% of their portfolio in #stablecoin. This is your dip fund.

When #crypto is bullish, you can get away with 30%. When it's bearish or crabby, 50%+ is a good dip fund.

I hope you have a dip fund ready to go.
3/ -- DIP FUND SPLIT --
My dip fund is split 70% for buying dip (strategically), 30% for investing in projects in a bear market.

More on buying the dip on tweet 6, let's talk bear launches first.

1/ I often talk about keeping a high-risk portfolio for blindly apeing into things like my spectacularly bad $KIBA buys.

I'm not a #memecoin trader so when I do buy them I use my high-risk portfolio. This portfolio holds 5% of my total #crypto capital but risk per trader is <1%. Image
2/ I use this portfolio when I want to be a full-on degen and ape into projects with no research.

The money in my high-risk portfolio is not actually counted towards my total capital.

This means that psychologically I can trade this money without fear of losing it.
3/ For all intents and purposes, my high-risk portfolio is already lost. If I get lucky and make a 100x the money is redistributed into my low and medium risk portfolios.

If I get rugged and lose it all 🤷‍♀️ it's gone anyway.

1/ #Crypto can be made easier with the right tools.

These are the tools me and my team use on a day-to-day basis to make crypto easy.

If you have some tools you use. Share them!
3/ -- RESEARCH --
BSC scan and ETH scan are good for checking holders. Replace the contract address in the URL with the token you want, then click the holders tab.

It's listed on the @DefiKingdoms DEX, you can buy using $ONE.
