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.

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

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.

@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.

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

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

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

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

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.

@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. ^^

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
