I’ve traded $1000 to $600,000 in less than 2 years without an investor approach, one question I get asked often is; where should a beginner start?

In this thread I’ll list some major references from start to finish which I’ve mastered functional for the current market… https://t.co/O2YYHVpACatwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Adapt the meta of trading ranges. The big pump or dump candle will leave a wick on either side & this will act as your igniting candle to form a future range. Wait for certain high/lows to form then go from there.

The best way to trade a range is the 3 tap setup. In this case,… https://t.co/bmztN9NGnntwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

To further elaborate on range trading, never trade a Monday. You want to wait for the week’s opening high & lows to form then apply the OB, Supply & Demand or 3BP concepts to trade inside a range I will discuss in tweets below.

From my experience, the Monday range is best… https://t.co/jqAx9dyKWYtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

TA & risk management is done, what next?

Well its simple, we’re going to step into what they call ‘institutional’ trading guides which get sold to you by mentors who haven’t even made their first 6 figures yet from trading.

Lets begin with the first concept of order-blocks.… https://t.co/lmO3BSeVfhtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Next is supply and demand. Many examples exist for these but lets skip to the working one only:

Find accumulation or distribution > wait for an impulse > trade the retest of impulse.

The retest zone is always the previous candle to the igniting candle. The igniting candle is… https://t.co/hZVOqCiahhtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Next is Volume Profile analysis. This one will require a lot of back testing but its a game changer. The POC’s & nPOC’s alone can act as the entire school of TA for such traders:

Last but not the least, trade based on H4 confirmations. The reason you may ask? It’s simple, crypto is led by funding fees, every 2xH4 closes there is a funding reset.

Bonus Question 1: Do I need to learn ICT or SMC?

setup that makes me $13,000 (1R) per day, a thread with parameters🧵 Image
I’m going to talk to in configuration of a long setup (vice versa applies to shorting)

Step 1 is to identify an uptrend that has started to cool down by ranging sideways. Depending on the time frame it can vary (this can be days to hours) Image
Step 2 is to zoom in to spot an orderblock below range lows or equal lows (both are same)

You’d place a limit order at the starting body of the block and stop loss below the ending wick of the block.

If the desired area is a cluster of orderblocks, I’d recommend to use a manual candle closure stop loss.Image

Scaling from making $100 a day to over $200,000 sounds pretty unrealistic, but it's possible !!

In this thread, I'll share my trading plan designed to help you establish a strong baseline for compounding capital over the next 3 years like I did🧵 Image
[I stopped taking partial profits]

While many traders opt for multiple TP targets to secure partial profits along the way, this strategy can often dilute the overall risk-reward ratio (RR) of the trade. In contrast, having a single TP target can lead to more consistent and substantial profits.

Understanding Risk-Reward Ratio (RR)
The risk-reward ratio is a measure of the expected return of an investment relative to the amount of risk taken. It is calculated by dividing the potential profit by the potential loss. For example, a 2:1 RR means that for every dollar risked, the potential reward is two dollars.

Let's consider a BTC/USDT trade with the following parameters:

Entry Price: $30,000
SL: $29,500 (risk of $500 per BTC)
Single TP Target: $31,000 (reward of $1,000 per BTC)
With a single TP target, the RR is straightforward:
RR = Potential Reward / Potential Loss = $1,000 / $500 = 2:1

Now, let's examine a scenario with multiple TP targets:

First TP at $30,500 (50% of position)
Second TP at $31,000 (50% of position)

If you achieve the first TP:
Profit from 50% position: $250 ($30,500 - $30,000) x 50% = $250

If the price continues to the second TP:
Profit from the remaining 50% position: $500 ($31,000 - $30,000) x 50% = $500

Total Profit: $250 (first TP) + $500 (second TP)= $750

In this case, the effective RR changes:
Effective RR = Total Profit / Total Loss = $750 / $500 = 1.5:1

While securing partial profits can provide some immediate gains, it reduces the overall RR from 2:1 to 1.5:1. This reduction means that you need a higher win rate to achieve the same profitability. Furthermore, if the trade stops out at the SL, the full loss is incurred, which can disproportionately impact the overall performance. By sticking to a single TP target, you maintain a clear and consistent RR, making it easier to evaluate the performance of your trades. Capturing the full potential of a trade without diluting the reward ensures that successful trades significantly outweigh the losses.Image
[I started adding orderblocks and Supply & Demand confluence to basic Support & Resistance]

The Concept of Confluence

Confluence occurs when multiple technical factors point to the same price level, increasing the probability of a successful trade. When key levels align with order blocks or supply and demand zones, it provides a stronger signal that the price is likely to react at these levels.

The Importance of Confluence

Trades taken at confluence points are more likely to succeed because they are based on multiple confirming factors. The alignment of key levels with order blocks or supply/demand zones often results in more pronounced price movements. Confluence allows for better-defined entry and exit points, aiding in effective risk management and enhancing the overall risk-reward ratio.

The image shows Monthly Open paired with an orderblock providing confluence in taking a continuation long on SUI/USDT.Image

I turned $1000 into $3,678,519 in 3 years without cracking my mind over what everybody else already knows!

If you can't identify the Liquidity, you will be the Exit Liquidity🩸

Here's how you can spot 6 different forms of Liquidity to manifest a high win rate from today🧵Image
1. Range Bound Liquidity:

As the name suggests, you are looking for liquidity inside the range but the core of which lies outside the actual range; to fade in order to not turn into what they call retail liquidity. For this example, I am using latest BTC Price Action (PA) between March until present day. On the chart, 1 represents a Lower Time Frame (LTF) range, 2 for Higher Time Range (HTF) and 3 for a developing range.

Rule of thumb to note among all 3; Price will at least once, seek latent liquidity above/below its pivots (which is the range high/low) before moving in the initial direction you intended to aim for. This is because, just like you- plenty of same brains across the world were aiming for the same direction except those that sought patience, sometimes even weeks, waiting for them to puke LTF decisions into HTF levels.

Now coming to some facts proven by history and of course own memory (since this thread is how I use liquidity amongst the general concept used by all). If price taps/raids more than twice above/below its pivot, its more likely to fail into those that wait. Right, this is because, at all times, price will fade into latent levels (Order blocks, demands or supply) and since a good number of people who are against technical analysis are being born daily and alive, they will puke into what is clearly on the chart; basic human psychology hehe. You are presented with 2 options; limit order into the fade and become passive liquidity yourself or wait for the reclaim of a range pivot to be a part of active liquidity. If you haven’t noticed yet, 3 is where most including myself could be wrong to form a bias too early, and that is because if you look further, range 3 is smooching the same area occupied by range 2. Now they make babies together which is your negative PNL, just kidding. Now is when you just wait and see where and when, a good area of interest (POI) is created to establish a confirm bias to act upon. One more thing, between 1 and 2, price swept the low first because a ton of visible liquidity was at the lower levels. At 3, there is an order block below too, most including myself waited for it, but never got it so we waited to get into the continuation higher. Despite missing the low, money was still made (substantially) not because the liquidity raid did not happen, instead- trend based liquidity was kept in mind, which is going to be our next point.Image
2. Trend Based Liquidity:

Right where I left off, order block below 3? No retest? Wait for retest? Or get in higher? But the question is, when? There will always be a trend, if not then it becomes a range. Just like ranges, there is Active Liquidity inside trends. What this means is, you are most likely to not know when it will be inserted into the market, so again, you wait. In this image, I have zoomed into the part where ranges 2 and 3 were from above, except 2 is erased for a cleaner view.

Liquidity inside trends is where price has its final compression before the expansion. The quickest way to find that is by looking for vertical accumulation or distribution where a trend is initially moving towards. In the image, I have expressed these by the $ symbols. As you can see $-A is trending downwards and at one point it finally pukes into a key level. Go back above to the first image and see where it goes. Right, into the order block coming from all the way back. Do you remember the people that were targeting 52k from here? Yeah, rookie pookies. So now onto $-B which is inside an uptrend and back to the headline of this category. Price pukes but it does not take the order block this time, everyone who waited, missed it, what now? As you go further towards $-C, you can see that the wait still isn’t over and the sideliners may have one more chance at filling their bids (including me) but woosh there it goes again. Here is when, confluences come in to play. Remember range 3, it goes for a retest of its high and sells off down again but this time into a freshly created demand zone. Missed that too? No worries, it breaks out above its higher pivot (range high) following another uptrend where you could market in and become active liquidity.

Between all of this action, you got 3 chances to secure a long and oh if you still have your mind glued to percentage movements, it’s time to change that. I could’ve gotten in at first attempt, second or third (which I did) and net result would’ve been the same; +2-3R in profit unless I was being edged to a tight pus… I mean stop loss.Image

$1000 to $1,000,000 in 3 years then almost $2,500,000 since October 2023🤨

How come I can compound trades while keeping losses minimum?

In this thread, I'll explain 12 Entry Models I use on a daily basis to rapidly increase my net-worth as a spot markets day trader | No Leverage, No Shitcoins !! 🧵Image
Before going through each entry model, I recommend to watch this video about ranges, order-blocks and supply/demand explained in under 35 minutes!


Image
Model 1 | Sell Side Liquidity

Often around the mid range, price will leave a candle with a large buy back wick, this is called the SSL.

Wait for price to sweep & reclaim. Best confirmation is to wait for 4H candle to close above.

Target the first high left above or the opposite of SSL, which is the Buy Side Liquidity (BSL).

Invalidation is simply placing a hard stop below the recent low that was created after the sweep.Image
