Love this variety—thanks for sharing! I’m going to test a combo of RSI and VWAP next session, can’t wait

@chartguru said in Who owns real Bitcoin here? : Ok should I really tell this I own 20 BTC at the moment (and yes I am keeping it until 170k, which I think is where we'll get this bull run!) holy f! 20 btc

Thanks @Bob_The_Trader & everyone! I’ll try the 4H trend + 50 EMA filter and widen my SL based on ATR. Really appreciate the tips

@Cryptofreakz said in How Can We Identify Bitcoin’s Absolute Top?: technical signals I love a simple candle‑close rule on the weekly: When BTC closes above the upper Bollinger Band for 3 weeks in a row, I consider that a “last hurrah” On the 4th week, I shrink my size drastically, I might even flip short briefly In 2017 and 2021 that triple‑band close nailed the peaks almost exactly, so I trust it more than gut feels.

I run a 60/20/10/10 split: BTC, ETH, stablecoins, and a tiny “fun” bag. My fun bag rotates—currently it’s DOT and AAVE. I journal each add/sell with date, price and rationale. Keeps me disciplined and helps me learn.

I avoid 11:00–13:00 UTC (European lunch), market goes sideways and spread widens. Best to step away then grab lunch too!

Monitoring is critical: I use Prometheus + Grafana for beacon and execution layer metrics. Slashing protection requires careful client config, can’t just spin up a second validator without syncing slashing DB.

Indicator Settings Timeframe Use Case VWAP Session VWAP only 5m / 15m Fade moves back to VWAP after breakouts Bollinger 20-period, 2σ bands 15m Breakout entries when bands compress StochRSI 14/14/3/3 1H Cross above 20 for long, below 80 for short I use VWAP to spot fair-value reversion trades, especially on low-liquidity altcoins

I used to put stops under the last swing low, but got run over by crazy weekend wicks. Now I: Mark the weekly support zone on the daily chart Use that zone as my “no‑touch” area instead of minor 5 m swings On the 1 h chart I set stops just outside the zone boundary, then trail them as price moves in my favor

@Cryptofreakz said in CPI’s Out Today. How Does Crypto Usually React?: do they just follow Bitcoin I don’t fight the candle. I wait for the closing price of the 1H bar after the release. If that close is above yesterday’s high, I look for a long entry on the next pullback If it closes below the low, I stay out or flip short, depending on my bias On June 12 CPI I saw a bull candle close 2% higher at 2pm UTC, then price retraced 0.8% into the EMA50 on 15m. That was my signal to go long. Simple, avoids chasing wicks. ^^

Quick tip, especially for volatile alts like MATIC perps: halve your usual leverage and use bracket orders. That way you lock in profits and avoid getting liquidated if it dumps 10 % in seconds. Works most of the time haha.

limit orders 95 % of the time, market orders for emergency exits

Max 3× for me, simple as that. Anything higher and I can’t sleep, it’s not worth the stress

I batch everything into one multicall on Arbitrum for cheap gas and it works like a charm!!

ENS: Registered ENS + DAO vote (5 000 ENS | ~$10 000 value) I kinda miss those early days when you could qualify with minimal particpation

When I mentor new traders I emphasize context. Intraday charts can feel chaotic if you ignore the bigger picture. Here is my process step by step: Daily Chart Identify major support and resistance levels. Mark at least three key highs and lows that have held over the past week. 4-Hour Chart Confirm whether price is above or below your chosen daily levels. This tells you if you should bias long or short on shorter timeframes. 1-Hour Chart Add 50 and 200 SMAs. Look for crossovers or confluence of SMA with your levels. 15-Minute Chart Wait for a retracement into a confluence zone (for example SMA and horizontal level intersecting). 5-Minute Chart Set up alerts on price reaching that 15-minute confluence. When alerted, switch to 1-minute to nail down your exact entry candle (pin bar, inside bar, or engulfing candle). This layered method might take a bit longer but your win rate will improve because you only take trades that align across every timeframe you watch.

@Aliceincryptoland Think of it like lending a friend money when they really want to borrow from you. When the demand to go long is high, they will pay you interest. You can “lend” by opening a long in the perp market. If you do not want the market risk, you can hedge with a short spot position or use a delta-neutral derivatives strategy on an exchange that supports both perp and spot. For example last week funding went negative for 12 hours while BTC rallied 5 percent. Many retail traders kept holding longs and paid up. If you had collected funding and held a small short spot hedge, you would have been flat on price but happily pocketed the funding difference.

@Aliceincryptoland Discipline is key! Here’s my daily routine: Pre-Trade Checklist Trend confirmed on higher TF ️ SL & TP set before entry ️ Risk ≤ 1% of account ️ Emotional Check After placing trade, take 3 deep breaths, count to 10. If you feel FOMO/FUD, step away for 5 minutes, no screens. Journal Entry reason, emotional state, outcome, lesson learned. Review weekly: look for patterns (“I chased pumps 3x this week”). Doing this turned me from a roller-coaster trader into a process-driven one
