It looks like the correction is still not over here and would likely extend lower. Most cryptocurrencies are in the correction phase now, even though many of them have been dropped more than 50% of their highest value. While we know that the current price action is a corrective phase, any further drop is only going to provide us with more long term buying opportunities.

how to predict wavelength from the chart (BNB USDT )fırst up wave made 23% and the down wave moved 16%
second up wave moved 15% and the down wave 10.4%
from these numbers we found a pattern
1- 16/23 = 69%
2- 10.4/15 = 69%
3- 15/23 = 65%
4- 10.4/16 = 65%
5- 15*65% = 9.75%
6- 10.4*65% = 6.76%
7- 6.76/9.75 = 69%
from these numbers we fıgure out from first up wave and down wave as u noted the length of down wave is 69%
and the second up and down trend was 69% ,
and the second up and down waves equal 65% first up and down waves
so we can predict next up wave and down wave
next up wave 9%
down wave 6.76%
KEY metrics PART 1: Does your strategy has Positive Expectancy?Does your strategy has Positive Expectancy?
The main idea of this post is to show that despite your trading style, the instruments you use to trade, the assets you think are better, your timeframe, etc... Profitability is about a positive result after adding all your losses and winning setups after a certain period of time. That is positive expectancy.
So, it's important to visualize this and ask yourself, Does my strategy has positive expectancy?
Let's take this example as a template, and then you can use it to evaluate your system.
If we have an initial Capital of 5000USD and we are risking 50 USD per trade (you risk 1% of your capital per trade), let see what happens after a year of executing this strategy that we will call "The Stock Strategy."
The most important metrics you want to take a look at in your strategy are:
-How much money I lose on average on the losing setups?
-How much money I win on average with my winning setups?
If you divide these two results: Average Win / Average loss, you will have your Average Risk Reward Ratio. This is VERY RELEVANT! This metric is telling you that, on average, you make 2 times what you risk when you are winning.
However, this metric by itself is useless; you need to ask how many times you are right after X amount of setups "in this case, we have 24 setups," and we can see that we are right 50% of the time.
Now we can check if your strategy has a positive expectancy: (Amount of Winning Trades * Average Risk Reward Ratio) - (Amount of losing trades * 1( that's 1% of your capital you are risking = FINAL RETURN.
In this case, we have a final return of 12% after a year on the Stock Strategy where we can conclude that we have a positive expectancy and its worth of trading. Once you have more experience and confidence with your strategy, you can optimize the average risk to 2%; for example, you will have a final return of 24% at the end of the year.
It's important to know that professional traders don't have one strategy; they have multiple strategies that tend to be independent, so, if you can develop 3 strategies, each of them with a positive expectancy (50% win rate, and average risk-reward ratio of 2) risking 1% of your capital per strategy, you can aim to a solid 36% per year.
Another key Metric to better understand your strategy is DrawDowns, but we will develop this in PART 2 of Key Metrics.
Thanks for reading! of course, there is much more to speak about this, but the idea was to make a simple introductory post on these two metrics that we consider extremely relevant.

Technical analysis:
. DOGEUSD is in a range bound, and the beginning of an uptrend is expected.
. The price is below the 21-Day WEMA, which acts as a dynamic resistance.
Always set TP:. in considering the droppage.

Pitchfork and Its Modifications From ScratchHi, traders!
Trading View gives us great opportunities to gain as much profit from analysis as it’s possible. Many tools indicators, including custom indicators let traders to extract all insights from the price action plot. However, many of us don’t know about very useful tools that TW gives us “from the box”. Well, today we’ll speak about pitchfork and its modifications.
Pitchfork
The technical indicator known as Andrews Pitchfork is not that well known and is rarely used by novice traders. However, it is a quick and easy way for traders to identify possible levels of support and resistance for price. It is created by placing three points at the end of previous trends and then drawing a line from the first point that runs through the midpoint of the other two points. The reason this indicator is called a "pitchfork" becomes apparent from the shape that is created in the chart.
How to draw?
Put the first point to the start of a new trend, second point on the next higher high, and the third to the lower low.
Shiff Pitchfork
But it’s good when we have no corrections. Try to draw pitchfork after it and you’ll fail. Fortunately, this problem has been solved with Shiff Pitchfork.
It has the same properties like the Original one, but the “corrections bug” is fixed.
How to draw?
Put the first point to the start of correction (pump), second point on the next higher high/lower low, and the third to the lower low/higher high.
Well, frankly speaking, the Original Pitchfork works well only on trend markets. For the corrections Shiff Pitchfork was invented. But what should we do with other cases? choppy market< for instance? Don’t worry, everything has been already invented.
The Modified Shiff Pitchfork
The Modified Shiff Pitchfork is heuristic above the Shiff pitchfork that specializes on sideways market movements.
How to draw?
Put the first point to the start of sideways movement, second point on the next higher high/lower low, and the third to the lower low/higher high.

Possible Sell Coming ?Points to Consider -
The death cross preceded the economic downturns in 1929, 1938, 1974, and 2008. There have been many times when a death cross appeared, such as in the summer of 2016, when it proved to be a false indicator.
Analysts also watch for the crossover occurring on lower time frame charts as confirmation of a strong, ongoing trend. Regardless of variations in the precise definition or the time frame applied, the term always refers to a short-term moving average crossing over a major long-term moving average.
Hidden divergences signal a possible trend continuation.

how to risk smartly? position sizing, risk n reward, SL n TP 👌Risk refers to the probability of a negative event happening in your activities; an event that goes contrary to your intended outcome. Risk is part and parcel of the cryptocurrency trade. It is the chance of an undesired outcome on the trade, which translates to making losses. For instance, a 50% risk on a short position simply means that there is a 50% probability that the Bitcoin price will rise, resulting in a loss on your part.
Today, we take you through the simple rules to follow when managing risk in crypto trading.
Types Of Risk
The crypto trading world is exposed to four main types of financial risks:
Credit Risk
This risk affects crypto projects. It is the probability of the parties behind the crypto project failing to fulfill their due obligations. Credit risk is mostly attributed to theft and fraud in the crypto market. A good example is the hacking of Binance in 2018, which led to over $40 million loss.
Legal Risk
Legal risk refers to the probability of a negative event occurring with respect to regulatory rules. For instance, a ban on cryptocurrency trading in a specific country. A practical example of legal risk is when the states of Texas and North Carolina issued a cease-and-desist order to Bitconnect cryptocurrency exchange due to suspicion of fraud.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk in respect to crypto trading refers to the chance of a trader being unable or incapacitated to convert their entire position to fiat currencies (USD, YEN, GBP) that they can use in their every-day spending.
Market Risk
Market risk refers to the chance of coin prices moving up or down contrary to your desire in an open position.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the chance that a trader is unable to trade, deposit, or even withdraw money in their crypto wallets.
Main Risk Management Strategies
The rule of thumb in crypto trading is: “Do not risk more than you can afford to lose.” Given the gravity of risk in crypto trading, we generally advise traders to use not more than 10% of their budget or monthly revenue. Also, trading with borrowed money is not advisable as it puts them in a credit risk position.
Risk management strategies can be broadly categorized into three: risk/reward ratio, position-sizing, as well as stop loss & take profits.
1. Position Sizing
Position sizing dictates how many coins or tokens of cryptocurrency a trader is willing to buy. The probability of realizing great profits in crypto trading tempts traders to invest 30%, 50% or even 100% of their trading capital. However, this is a disruptive move that puts you at serious financial risks. The golden rule is: never put all your eggs in one basket. Here are three ways to achieve position sizing.
Enter Amount vs Risk Amount
This approach considers two different amounts. The first involves money you are willing to invest in every single deal. We advise traders to look at this amount as the size of each new order they take, regardless of its type. The second involves money at risk, i.e. the money that you stand to lose in case the trading fails.
This is how you define your enter amount:
A = ((Stack size * Risk per Trade) / (Entry Price – Stop Loss)) * Entry Price
Let’s say we wish to purchase BTC with USDT with a target of $13,000. Our parameters would be:
Stack Size: $5,000
Risk per Trade: 2%
Entry Price: $11,500
Stop Loss: $10,500
Our enter amount would be:
A= ((5,000 * 0.02) / (11,500 – 10,500)) * 11,500 = 1,150
The ideal amount to invest in this deal is $1,150 or 23%. However, due to our Stop Loss, we only risk 2% as it will stop the trade once it reaches the determined level.
Risk trading in cryptocurrency
Elder’s “Sharks” and “Piranhas”
This concept of position sizing relates to diversifying your investments. Dr. Alexander Elder, who is credited with the concept, suggests two rules:
Limiting every position to 2% risk. Elder compares risk to a shark bite. Sometimes you would wish to risk a huge amount, but the risk would be huge and catastrophic as a shark bite.
Limiting trading sessions to 6% per session. In a losing streak, you may end up spending everything you own little by little. Elder compares this risk to a piranha attack, which takes small bites of its victim until it consumes it all.
Following Elder’s sharks and piranhas approach results in no more than three open positions per 2% each or six ones per 1%. Limiting results in reverse compounding; losses get smaller and smaller with each subsequent loss you make.
Kelly Criterion
The Kelly criterion is a formula developed by John Larry Kelly in 1956. It is a position sizing approach that defines the percentage of capital to bet. It suits long-term trading.
A = (Success % / Loss Ratio at Stop Loss) – ((1 – success %) / Profit Ratio at Take Profit)
Using the previous example, the features would be:
Stock size: $5,000
Invested Amount: $1,150
Success %: 60%
Entry Price: $11,500
Stop Loss: $10,500
Loss Ratio: 1.10
Take Profits: $13,000
Our result would be:
A = (0.6 / 1.10) – ((1 – 0.06) / 1.13) = 0.19
This means you should not risk more than 19% of the entire capital of $5,000 for you to arrive at the best possible outcome in a series of deals.
2. Risk/Reward Ratio
The risk/reward ratio compares the actual level of risk with the potential returns. In trading, the riskier a position, the more profitable it can get. Understanding the risk /reward ratio enables you to know when to enter a trade and when it is unprofitable. The risk/reward ratio is calculated as follows:
R = (Target Price – Entry Price) / (Entry Price – Stop Loss)
From the previous illustration:
Entry price: $11,500
Stop Loss: $10,500
Target price: $13,000
Our ratio would be:
R = (13,000 – 11,500) / (11,500 – 10,500) = 1.5 or 1:1.5
A ratio of 1:1.5 is good. We advise traders not to trade with a ratio lower than 1:1.
3. Stop Loss + Take Profit
Stop Loss refers to an executable order which closes an open position when a price decreases to a specific barrier. Take Profit, on the other hand, is an executable order that liquidates open orders when the prices rise to a certain level. Both are good approaches to managing risk. Stop Losses save you from trading in unprofitable deals while Take Profits let you get out of the trade before the market can turn against you.
You can make use of Trailing Stop Losses and Take Profits which follow the rate’s changes automatically. Such a feature, however, isn’t available at the majority of crypto exchanges. Fortunately, with crypto terminals like Superorder, you can set your Trailing Stop Losses and Take Profits right from the terminal.
Winning Strategies
Accept Failures
Risk is part and parcel of trading. Besides, we cannot eliminate it but only manage it. You should, therefore, accept your losses and rely on plan-based decision making to realize profits in future trades.
Consider Fees
New traders often do not know the fees that come along with trading. Such include withdrawal fees, leverage fees, etc. You should consider these in your risk management.
Focus on the Win Rate
Risks will always be there to discourage you from trading. However, focusing on the number of times you win helps to develop a positive attitude in trading.
Measure Drawdown
This refers to the total reduction of your initial funds after a series of losses. For instance, if you lost $1,000 from $5,000, your measure drawdown is 10%. The higher the amount, the more you would need to inject into a trade for it to recover. As Dr. Elder advised, stick to a 6% risk limit.

It's time to Exit !A broken trendline is a technical signal that can suggest a change in trend is at hand. If low volume (rather than high volume) accompanies the break of a trendline, the signal is not as strong or convincing. It can make sense to wait a day or two to make sure that the trendline break is legitimate.
A pullback is a pause or moderate drop in a stock or commodities pricing chart from recent peaks that occur within a continuing uptrend. A pullback is very similar to retracement or consolidation, and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
