Surviving The Market When You're Paid In CryptoETH/USD - Coinbase Disclaimer: This is not financial advice and not a good speculative strategy. On the contrary, it's simply a "how to survive" strategy that is still not perfect and changing all the time. However my underlying chart and thinking has largely kept me safe from any MAJOR losses (knock on wood). I also drew this trend line several years ago. This base level trend has stayed in tact so I continue to use it as is. This is an entirely neutral strategy intended to ensure you don't get "Rekt" when you make a full time living paid in a volatile currency. For me, all crypto has always been money. I have paid my rent in crypto, got paid in crypto, used crypto debit cards, and never use a bank outside using credit or loans. Banks are obsolete to me as soon as DEFI based credit is more mature. This is not a perfect model and I'm still learning, making mistakes, and figuring out how to navigate this new financial reality every day. Back Story First a little back story. Since 2013 I have made a part time living on Crypto and since 2015 I have made a full time living paid in crypto. After taking a position at Coinbase doing Operations and Regulatory Compliance in 2015, I quickly began to adapt to this new all crypto life style. I'm now with district0x and have continued this journey even deeper. This required some hard lessons and exciting prospects. I have now been paid in DAI, BTC, ETH, Silver, NFTs, and every now and then other random assets. Volatility is life. 😎 The Nitty Gritty The hard lessons ranged from, how easy it is to lose access to your crypto (Ouch 🤮), the market taking a nose dive right after payday because I forgot to move my money (📈📉), not to mention all the fees and costs associated with open finance and exchange. I quickly developed a significantly conservative outlook on my money management. I learned how to somewhat stabilize my income from volatile shocks in the market but I look at the losses as tuition paid for my education. A tough thing to swallow but so much cheaper than university. 🤷‍♂️ Basically I would live on Credit cards for the month, then cash out my earnings when the market was around the price I was originally paid so I can pay off credit cards. This was by no means perfect but my chart has never changed the entire time I have been in crypto. I mapped out the base level uptrend and ignore all the bubbles. If I'm at the top or above the main trend channel I would cash out my checks and not rely on credit. If the market is on the lower end of the channel I would hang onto my pay. These days if I decide to keep some money in the market I ensure I have about half stable value and half BTC or ETH. This way if the market moves up, I have some and if it dips hard I can grab some more. I also keep an eye on the long and short positions as well as overall volume using the paid indicator VPVR. If I'm paid in the middle of a liquidity gap I would immediate move money to a stable store of value like USDc, my bank account, and sometimes a DEFI app. If I'm in a zone where the liquidity gap is filled in, creating support on the lower half of the channel, I would leave it. I have had the market fall losing a large part of my check but considering the market is in a milti year uptrend on the base level of liquidity, I just hold it until I have my pay back. Not ideal but it's worked for me as long as I'm patient, cautious, and conservative with my decisions. While this is a neutral strategy, I do intend to go long depending on how the market moves but I am going to keep my crypto and stable coins at a 50/50 ratio for now so I can be okay with whatever direction the market moves. Future plans I will be using my stable coins to move into crypto if the market corrects back down to the lower half of the long term trend (Which it likely will). I will slowly scale into ETH and BTC as it hits the high volume zones and if the liquidity gaps fill in. Usually if a gap fills, it becomes a major level of support or resistance so they make good points to scale in with any stable coins you have. I won't scale in until is hits the red line in the center of the uptrend. Then I will use 10-15% below the median range, another 15-25% if it drops to a lower range, 25-50% if it dips lower, and if we have a hard spike down into the lower blue channel, I intend to to go all in. Anything above the base level channel I will likely be selling because "Sell when others are greedy, and buy when others are scared". I will use a similar "scaling out" strategy like my "scaling in" strategy if we see another bubble. Considering I work in the industry I really am not a fan of the bubbles. It makes the networks more expensive, harder to use, and vulnerable to forks and other technical or political issues that makes development more difficult. I look at it like this, if one network inflates beyond usability, I get free money to apply towards another network I intend to also use as load balancing. I also can't wait for more solutions like Cosmos and Polkadot. Multi chain transactions are the future, especially if bitcoin and ethereum are so expensive only businesses can afford to use them. Stay grounded when everyone starts to fly. The moon is a lie and made of cardboard and cheese 🧀📦 Developers are the new rock stars and the Dapps are the future of finance that we all should be using. USEL don't HODL... 😎

🥇 How We Use Our Strategy With Split Times. (Trading Strategy)👋 Hello, I hope everybody is having an awesome week with their trades! 😁 We here at MLT | MAJOR LEAGUE TRADER want to walk you through our time split system with the crossover strategy and the ema dots indicators. Let's take a look... So what we will be using in this example today is USO (United States Oil Fund) Top chart (12 Hour Timeframe) Bottom chart (1 Day Timeframe) All markets have trends and at the end of the day your job as a trader is to play the accumulation or the distribution zones aka turning points in the markets to ride the next trend. We use this color coordinated system to help identify when a turning point is taking place in whatever market it is that you're trading. You can apply this method to any chart timeframe. If you want to scalp the 30 min, then you would have a 30 min chart and a 15 min chart. Split the gimeframe that you are focused on playing. We use the split time for an earlier confirmation play to lead into a larger timeframe to secure that early entry for the bigger swing to confirm and play out. We also will use the split time to exit the trade when we get the sell confirmation. (Long / Short | Buy / Sell) Now let's talk about the process... Green represents an uptrend. Red represents a downtrend. When the 12 hour timeframe on top closes we will get either a green or red candle / ema dot close. Same with the daily chart on the bottom. Simple... So what we look for is the early entry on the 12 hour. We want the candle to turn green, preferably a doji. (Candle that looks like a plus sign, tight price compression) We want it to close green candle and all 3 dots below to align green with the close. If only 2 dots out of the 3 are green we do not enter! Same concept for red. We will get the signal for a buy on the 12 hour before we do on the daily meaning that we will secure a better entry price vs just using the daily by itself. Once you get confirmation on the 12 hour we hold that position and set a tight stoploss in case if it was to sell off. Once you take the buy you place your stoploss, diversify your funds and let it play out. If you get stopped out than you get stopped out. Take the trade and let it play out. As the 12 hour begins to close every 12 hours you will either see it start to form bigger green engulfing candles which shows buyers are pushing up the price, which is a good sign for your buy or you will start to see it shift towards going red which would obviously represent a sale or a short position. Your job is to play the turning points in the markets and play that turning point range till you capture the next move. Markets go up and down, they don't stay sideways forever. Risk a little on stoploss in the range play and ride the next long term move. Trading is a game of probability and risk management. Even if you don't understand structure, support and Resistance or all the more advanced tools of the trade this will help make it easier on you to understand as a trader. SIMPLE IS BETTER! 👍 I have drawn vertical lines to represent where the buys and sells all lined up from the candles to the dots. Those are your opportunities to enter on the 12 hour. Now if you look below you see that the daily actually stayed green from the very start of the first trade taken at the bottom of the trend on the 12 hour. The dots on the daily never closed red until the very top of the trend where we finally got all red to line up. That's another option to consider. You can use the split time to take more opportunities and trades for potential of trend changes. Or you can buy the first line up on the 12 hour and hold it till the daily is actually aligned red for a much larger swing trade position. If you did the second option you would of generated around 50% in gains from just one trade! I hope this helps anybody that is struggling with trading and wants to learn how to get early trend confirmation on a specific timeframe that you want to trade. Swing trade or day trade any market with this strategy! You can message me if you have any questions that you would like to ask. Please don't forget to smash that like button! ✌😁✌ Have a great day, Take Care! 🍻🍻🍻 🥇MLT | MAJOR LEAGUE TRADER

Trading in a trend. ETH/USD trend. Past Trading Idea +70%Ethereum is currently moving in a strong uptrend. An ascending wedge formed. It is very necessary to be careful in trading now. In fact, holding the starting position while the trend continues. You can apply the pyramid trading strategy, about which I have an extensive article on how to work profitably and safely in two directions on one tool. A break in the price of the trend line and fixing below it will indicate the weakness of the bulls as a result of a potential trend reversal. On the chart, for clarity, I showed the existing and past local uptrend, so that you understand the logic of work. I will also set an example on my past trading ideas on how to work in similar situations. In order for you to better understand the essence of trading work. If you are not in a position on this instrument, then you can simply observe the development of events for the trading experience in the future. My past trading idea for this ETH / USD pair. March 31, 2020 ETH / USD Triangle. The price is decreasing. Coming soon. Profit already more than + 70%. There has been no upward trend weakening since the triangle broke. The trend continues. A similar situation on bitcoin in June 2019. BTC is moving in an uptrend. Repeat 2014 or 2017? An uptrend continues. Trend Trading and Important Areas Jun 27, 2019. The trend stayed at the important zone and the price fixed under the trend line. An attempt to return the price to an uptrend was unsuccessful. What served as a signal of a reversal of the then upward trend on Bitcoin. And the formation of a bear measured move BTC possible formation of a global triangle. Jun 28, 2019 Trading with the trend Option of forming a global triangle Jun 27, 2019 And a very similar situation was at one time on LTC a month before halving. LTC trend trading. Crowd training before halting BTC Jun 25, 2019 Well, after a while (2 weeks). We saw a breakdown of the upward trend line. As history showed that the breakdown before the halving served to reverse the current trend and the emergence of a downtrend. I will continue the example of trend trading on the same coin. LTC price uptrend is broken. Trading in a downward channel . Aug 14, 2019 As we see the downtrend continues. Potentially work in a hypothetical downward channel that may form. As we see from the history of the channel and formed. Work on this tool continues. Trading idea + training. Nov 1, 2019. TRAINING Pyramiding money management. 2 part. Short LTC / USD. In this training idea, I described how I worked on this LTC / USD pair long before the trend reversal. Pyramiding money management. 1 part. Long LTC / USD Also, I think this trading + training idea will be useful for you to familiarize yourself. The same pyramiding (trading in a trend), but on coins of average capitalization . The profit, as well as on the lightcoin, is impressive about + 200-350%. But the charm is that due to the fact that it is an altcoin of average capitalization, all the actions of the cycle occur many times faster. Also, if a person worked in the algorithm that I described and defended my profit as shown in the idea of ​​learning online, he would not be afraid of the margin focus of the Binance exchange that they scrolled on hamsters. Pyramiding online on a pump coin. Matic. Whale Trading Nov 28, 2019 To all readers a lot of money in trading. Rock your mind and skills.

HVQ + QRSI + Clouds - Setting up a narrative; market structureThis video goes through my charting process using the trio of indicator's I've developed to work in concert with each other. This is the process I use to explore historical price action and develop a narrative to use during my near-future trading activity for that asset. Just as important as entries and exits, understanding market structure and being aware of potential changes to this structure, before price plays out it's new role, is extremely important. These visualization tools make it possible to find structural influences within an asset that do not necessarily exist, in a classical sense, on a typical price candlestick chart. Not explored in this video is how to further use these tools to build risk distribution profiles for any trade, long or short, as well as the use of compound tickers to determine individual asset allocations. Most technical indicators focus too much on entries and exits while not providing nearly enough insight for aligning those buy or sell conditions with the current market structure and meta-analysis. Take a step into my workflow for setting up a trading environment that focuses more on working with the structure of an asset rather than against it. In this video I build rules for potential entries, stop-losses, and set up a narrative for an asset on some historical data (cheating, I know, but this is "educational" content ;) QuantRsi, Heffae Clouds, and the HVQ Volatility Index are available via PM, there is also a link with access information in my sig.

How to use STIXEX “color options” and improve risk management Hello everyone, First of all, since STIXEX “color options” is a totally new way to speculate on crypto price, let me briefly explain what are STIXEX “color options” and how they work. STIXEX allows traders to place a trade on the color of the next candlestick in the price chart. In other words, all you have to do is pick whether the next candlestick will be red or green. This way you do not have to predict the exact size of the price move in order to make a significant profit, every winning trade pays fixed 100% profit. So for example, if you place a $20 trade that the next candle will be green and you guess it correctly, you will receive $40 payout, you will double your money (minus commissions). There are 1min, 5min, and 15min options, so its perfect for day traders. As you can see, the concept is very simple and straight to the point. Now let me explain why this way of trading is more beneficial when it comes to risk management which is a serious problem, especially with newer traders: 1.You can’t loose more then your trade size, so if you trade $2, that’s the amount that you will lose in case of an unsuccessful trade. This is very beneficial when market experiences flash crash or sudden price moves that car run right through traders’ stops and incur significant unplanned losses. STIXEX eliminates this problem, no matter how much the price moves, your loss will always be capped at amount that you chose. 2.STIXEX uses Binance price feed, so there is no problems associated with low liquidity, your results on STIXEX are determined by price activity on Binance. 3.There is no price spread between bid/ask price. 4.There is no risk of slippage, the price that you decide to pay for an option is the final price, period. 5.You only pay commission on your initial trade amount, your profits do not incur any fees. Also, you don’t even have to close your trade manually, its is closed automatically once your option time expires. 6.There is no account set up process, you can start trading right away by depositing ETH or USDT(ERC20). 7.STIXEX uses TradingView charts, so you can use the same tools and indicators to plan your trades. 8. No need to set up Stop-Loss, your loss and profit are known in advance. So, as you can see, STIXEX significantly simplifies trading process, instead of trying to predict not only the price direction but also the size of the price move in order to make significant profits, you only have to predict the color of the next candlestick and you will earn guaranteed 100% profit, even if the price moves only a fraction of a penny in your direction. Let me know in the comments bellow what do you think about this method. Please like, comment and follow in order to receive future updates about this trading system !

(Educational) Trade Management Life Cycle using ETHUSD In this video I cover some of the techniques I use for trade management. I rarely post about how I specifically manage trades. Enjoy! *Side notes* -2% of 10,000 is $200. I said $2,000 but then corrected myself :) -I stated I have probably haven't lost more than 5 consecutive trades. Honestly, I probably have but it has been a while. Due to my defensive trading nature it's more likely I would take a string of losses and break-evens, but rarely a large string of straight losses.

ETH/BTC (Update) Now Let's Take a Look on Ether Technicals, In Bigger Chart (Monthly) Forming a Wedge Pattern & I Think 2020 Will Be Bullish Year For Ether.(If Follows my Plan) ETH/USD (USD Pair) Just like BTCUSD , Ether is Also Moving inside the Descending Channel (Downtrend) in Daily TF Chart. Recently Tested the Lower Channel Line & Now Bouncing up Towards the Key Resistance (144), Just like BITCOIN . It's Decreasing the Volume since 25th June Top & Now I Think It's Time For Reversal..(Major Indicators ( MACD & RSI ) Are Also Turning Bullish ) Now If Key Resistance Broken in Coming Days Then ETHER Will be Back in Uptrend & It Might Test (195) Resistance. In 3D & Weekly Chart, It's Forming Bullish Wedge Pattern as well .. Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community!

BTCUSD & ETHUSDT | Direct correlation of assets' price actionAt the 4H-timeframe scale it can be clearly seen how perfectly correlated are Bitcoin and Ethereum price actions in the middle term. There are vertical flags with dates and time from the beginning of the observation till the current moment. Starting from the 21th of November you can see each sharp movement duplicates, even IHS patterns were formed in the same manner. What does it mean? 1. Bitcoin's capitalization and Ethereum capitalization is represented mostly by the same big players now. 2. Once fundamental news arrive and affect the market big players either fix their crypto to stable coins in case they expect drop or enter the market back diversifying their holdings between ETH and BTC in equal proportions. 3. It does not seem like a collusion it is more likely big players want to diversify, however this now destroys opportunities of diversification. 4. Because ETH and BTC can no longer be used for diversification soon we will see whales choosing other instruments for it. 5. Once new coin is determined ETH will have an inverse correlation with Bitcoin. Moreover Ethereum will face with a sharp value drop once it happens. Conclusion: Do not use Ethereum for diversification in the mid or long term. Ethereum is now risky for long term holdings, choose several top-10 cryptocurrencies instruments for it

What can we learn if BTC decouples from ALTs & Dominance drops?This last move was important to pay attention to and be aware of whats going on in the markets. Bitcoin has been dominating the landscape for some time and for good reason. It has the most exposure, it has large funds being able to invest in it, etc, etc.... People were creating ways to get into the crypto craze and found ways to do it. I am not hear to pinpoint on exactly when to get in. I am hear to tell you that if you are sitting on the sidelines mulling around whether or not it's a good time to get in, please consider this chart. I can throw most any major alt coin and the result will be similar as to the eth and ltc comparison. AS BTC dominance drops, the ALT's rose, along with BTC for that matter. If we are going to have a massive alt season 2, this will be the time to get in and HODL. If you are targeting ETH, will it matter if you get in at 150, 200 or even 250 if it goes to $1,200? No, it won't. If you wait for more confirmation, you could possibly miss a large move to the upside. Maybe it goes down more before it goes up, no one knows. If we take a step back for a moment and look at bitcoin dominance we can see what story it is telling. The first and most obvious is that when BTC domiance dropped in 2017 prices started to increase. It's important to notice that this happened MID 2017, but people consider the bull run to happen late 2017 if not the beginning of 2018. But if you invested then you were late. You were showing up to the party as the police were arriving. Not a good time. The BTC dominance MACD is just about to arc over and cross. RSI is very much oversold. The BTC halvening is approaching next year, there are massive advances in crypto, etc... The decoupling exposed itself this last rally when almost EVERYTHING moved up and BTC stayed flat. Of course everything has corrected a bit, but that is to be expected. There are signs they are decoupling and if so it could be worthwhile to begin to take positions for a move up. Almost EVERY cross (ETH/BTC, LTC/BTC, etc..) are at all time lows, priming the pump for another ALT season. Ask yourself this... If ETH went down to $150 even if you bought at $200, would you be angry at having to ride it out? Or more angry if you hadn't bought at $200 and it moved up to $300, or 500? Make sure you evaluate your plan, whether trading or hodling and know the potential of what is going on. Stay disciplined. Could BTC go down to 7k?Could it drag everything else down with it? Very possible, and it's what I have thought until this latest move. Because what if it decouples from alt's and those stay stable or even move up? As evidenced by the recent moves? Compare the latest ETH chart to BTC. It looks like BTC is moving down and ETH to the upside... It will be quite interesting to see where we go and I hope I provided some insight and help for your positions or trading. Best of luck trading and hodling -Sherem

Ethereum the bitch that keeps on giving.So as we all know, eth was once above $1400.00!! Here we sit at 168.55usd having just broke that channel I recently drew on my chart. What's ironic is that I trade eth alot more than I trade bitcoin but mostly post bitcoin ideas, today I finally post some stuff for eth. I will be adding updates, this is a shorterm chart so ill add some longer time frame views as we go. Please enjoy. Also please remember that I am a speculator, not your trading adviser. Don't copy what I do, learn to do it without anyone's help and you'll be very rich one day.

Ethereum (ETHUSD) Resistance - Expect at $240This is a daily chart, of ETHUSD on Kraken. We see a relatively bullish uptrend as of late, but I expect resistance to be hit around the $240 level. Why? A few reasons. Firstly, we can see a cluster of historical resistance and support around those levels. Makes sense for price to be tested there again. Secondly, the $240 level is right around the 0.382 retracement, if we draw a Fib from the high pivot around $364 to the low pivot around $165. 0.382 is a frequent area of resistance. Do you have different potential areas of resistance, based off of different analysis, i.e Gann, etc? Anyway, let's keep our eyes peeled.

A quick overlook on ETH.What do you look for when buying?? 1. Fundamental support? 2. Statistical outlook on protocol growth and recent avenues? (ie: www.forbes.com) 3. Human appeal and influence? (lower prices are more appealing while regulation and growth continues) Grab it while its hot! ;) 4. Would you rather want a 50% 70% or 80% or hell 100% discount from where price took off? Sure would be nice to visit "station 1" of the bus ride for those cheap deals again! (UNLIKELY) But hey? Maybe station 2 is still good or even 3..? Think of this in terms of what would you pay as a brand new investor? Hope you all like my idea ^_^ Yellow zone can ride us back up Red zone people are looking for deals Blue zone people are observing pattern and market behavior for trends. Weapons of knowledge: 1. News 2. Market Behavior 3. Growth vs Competition 4. Use Technical Indicators for price action observation (Naked Trading should always be first included before layering indicators). Clean charts are good charts I only use indicators to help show ideas like a playbook for a coach. 5. Do not rely on indicators they all mostly lag but there are some leading indicators that help and a combination of "truths" help with probability. 6. An idea is just an idea - it does not make it real but people use them so it has effect! 7. Smart Money vs Dumb Money (Wholesale vs Retail) (Discount vs Buying the hype) 8. Psychology and Money management 9. The farther out the more you can see, history has its advantages... 10. Contact me for supportive constructive perspective and criticism.
