I’m a 5-minute scalper at heart.

1. Timeframe: 5m for entries/exits, 1h to confirm trend.
2. Indicators: 20 EMA & 50 EMA crossover + VWAP pullbacks.
3. Rule: Never hold past the next candle close—either stop or take profit.

It’s fast and brutal—my account grows in small steps, but consistency is key!

Hello guys,

Who ows Bitcoin here and are you guys looking to HODL a long time or sell soon?

Btw: I own 0.5 BTC and looking to keep it until it is worth a million!

Hey all, CPI numbers drop later today and I’m curious…

I’ve seen stocks bounce or dump hard on surprises, but what about crypto? Last time CPI came in hot, BTC spiked then dumped—does that ring true?

And altcoins—do they just follow Bitcoin, or do some sectors (DeFi tokens, NFTs, memecoins) really overreact?

• Do you pre-emptively scale out before the report or wait for the candle to close?
• Any go‑to risk tricks (like reducing leverage or hedging)?
• Would love to hear your past experiences, charts, or gut feels on CPI days!

Thanks in advance—need all the wisdom I can get!

Nice one!

@seeker88 said in Where Do You Place Your Stop‑Losses?:

Hey everyone, quick question!

I’m confused about stop placement, sometimes I get stopped out by random wicks.

• Do you place stops just below the last swing low, or use ATR multiples?
• Any tips on avoiding those fake-outs?
• Share a recent trade where your stop saved or screwed you

For example I used to set stops 1 % below entry, but that got blown out on choppy 5 m BTC candles. Thoughts?

My rule of thumb, I never place a stop closer than 1× ATR on my execution timeframe, and I always cross‑check the 1 h ATR before setting a 5 m stop. Sometimes I use a mental stop only, and manually exit instead of relying on the auto‑fill

If your clock drifts more than 0.5 seconds you’ll miss duties, sync NTP religiously!

Hey folks, curious if anyone has a reliable way to spot Bitcoin’s absolute top.

I know nobody can time perfection, but are there on‑chain metrics, technical signals or sentiment extremes that have nailed past peaks?

• Do you watch NVT or MVRV ratios hitting certain levels?
• Is there a “max FOMO” indicator like social media mentions or Google Trends?
• Any chart patterns (parabolic curves, blow‑off tops) you swear by?
• How do you manage risk if you think you’re at the final top?

Would love your insights, examples or gut feels...

@mila_86 said in What’s the best airdrop you’ve ever claimed, and how did you qualify?:

single best drop

I got 8 000 OPT for using the Optimism testnet, held a year, sold for $3 000 profit

@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

I use VWAP to spot fair-value reversion trades, especially on low-liquidity altcoins
