0:00So , welcome everyone to the Cryptoade
0:01channel . Today , we'll be reviewing my
0:04trades that I opened just yesterday .
0:06We'll be reviewing these positions from
0:08the terminal , but at your request , I've
0:10already plotted them all on the Trading
0:12View chart , as it's easier for you to
0:14view . But before we begin , what's so
0:16interesting about these trades ? They're
0:18interesting because of their opening
0:20and closing prices . So , if you look at
0:22the opening and closing prices , you'll
0:24see the entry price and the exit price .
0:27And you see , the exit price matches the
0:28entry price of the next position .
0:30Here's the exit price for this position
0:32, and it practically matches the next
0:34one — a kind of continuous trading .
0:36I'll explain what my doubts were here ,
0:38and why I opened and closed my
0:40positions , but I wrote about some of
0:42these doubts in my Telegram channel ,
0:44via the link in the description . So ,
0:46I've also demonstrated these positions
0:48here . Well , let's start with the main
0:52questions I often get in private
0:55messages , because not everyone
0:57understands why I always have , say , the
1:00same leverage of 100. After all ,
1:02there's absolutely nothing wrong with
1:05100 leverage . What's the point ? First ,
1:08let's go to Ethereum . On Ethereum , I'll
1:12immediately see 100 leverage , which is
1:14my default . And remember , leverage
1:17doesn't really matter . What matters is
1:20the margin multiplied by the leverage .
1:22If you have $ 100,000 and choose 100
1:25leverage , you're managing a million
1:27dollars . If you take , say , $ 1,000 and
1:31choose 100 leverage , that's $ 100,000 .
1:34So , you see , margin is extremely
1:36important . Also , for some reason ,
1:40everyone thinks that I use all my funds
1:42at once , so to speak . No , I don't trade
1:46with all my funds . I have a certain
1:48deposit , let's say . This is a deposit
1:50from the acceleration , which is often
1:52seen in other videos . And , accordingly ,
1:54I take a portion of this deposit . That
1:56is , I risk a portion . That is , I , let's
1:59say , risk $ 1,000 per trade from this
2:02deposit , or I risk $ 800 from this
2:05deposit per trade . That is , I calculate
2:08the margin . And , let's say , when I want
2:11to open a certain position , let's
2:13imagine that I wanted to open a short
2:15at this point and set a stop-loss at
2:181878. How do I do this ? So , we switch
2:21to short . 1878. Here they mark 1878.
2:28And then I simply do this with the
2:30slider and look for this $ 1,000 . Plus
2:32or minus $ 2,000 in margin . I need a
2:35risk of $ 1,000 . That's it , the end .
2:38There are no other calculations here .
2:41That is , everything is as simple as
2:43possible . That is , there is no need to
2:44complicate things here . That's why I
2:46use 100th leverage . I could , say ,
2:47switch to something like the twentieth ,
2:50now that's a risk of 213. But then I'd
2:52simply have to add more margin , and
2:54that would be another $ 1,000 risk . But
2:56the margin would be $ 10,000 . That's
2:59the point . So , I'm not risking all my
3:01deposits . I'm risking a portion of them
3:03. Yes , that portion of the deposit is
3:05quite significant , but for the simple
3:06reason that this is an aggressive
3:08account . There's a conservative account
3:10where I risk no more than 1-2 % per trade
3:12. That's an aggressive account . So ,
3:14we've basically increased it from $
3:161,000 to $ 20,000 . We've taken part of
3:19the profit , locked it in , and then we
3:21continue trading like that . Why do I
3:23have a crossmargin here ? It's also
3:25simple . The thing is , there's no point
3:28in using isolated margin , because I'm
3:30only trading one position at a time . So
3:33, you'll never see me with a whole list
3:35of open positions , because that's a
3:37losing trade . It's more likely that if
3:40one coin is moving up , then most likely
3:42the other coins are moving up as well .
3:45There's no point in constantly
3:46switching between coins . I trade
3:48Ethereum ; it's liquid , it's popular ,
3:51there are no delays , no slippage . All
3:53of this suits me more than well . My
3:56volume is realized immediately , and
3:58there are no errors in the quotes . And
4:01my average volume in this case is
4:02150,000 on an aggressive account . Again
4:04, on an aggressive account . And now
4:07let's analyze these positions that I
4:10have below . These are the trades . The
4:13first one brought in $ 807 , the second
4:16$ 105 , the next $ 1,645 . But in this
4:19case , if there weren't an average
4:21position , I would essentially just have
4:23one trade . So , let's get started . I
4:25trade exclusively price action , that is
4:28, price movement and certain patterns .
4:32Price action patterns often emerge due
4:34to patterns . I talk about this all the
4:37time . And in this particular case ,
4:39structures were already being traded
4:41here . What does it look like ? It looks
4:44like this . The first trade , which
4:46brought in $ 807 , why did I open it ? I
4:49opened this position on a 15 - minute
4:51timeframe and held it for almost 24
4:54hours . Why did I open it ? It's simple .
4:56We have an aggressive move upward . Then
4:59we have a corrective move downward . I
5:03skip this part of the signal , although
5:05I should have entered on the correction
5:06, and the market begins to move
5:08aggressively upward . Here , at the
5:10moment this candlestick formed , there
5:12was also a pinbar . I opened my trade to
5:14buy , to update a new high to continue
5:17the trend . But again , the price rolled
5:20back a little , and I entered at a worse
5:22price . I placed a stop-loss behind this
5:24candlestick , which was a pinbar at the
5:25moment of formation , but it rolled back
5:27very quickly . But no big deal . We still
5:30had structure on our side . For those
5:32who don't quite understand what
5:34structure is , it's when we have a
5:36certain impulse movement . So , there's
5:39movement , let's say , upward . And we
5:42never try to enter here , when the move
5:44hasn't yet exhausted its potential . We
5:47try to enter on corrections . And this
5:50entire range from the minimum , that is ,
5:53from the maximum , to this declining
5:56minimum , can be at any point . It could
5:59be here , it could be there . This is our
6:01potential entry point . So , you stretch
6:03the Fibonacci grid in the same way . If
6:06you're not familiar with Fibonacci , a
6:07hint will appear here . Only Fibonacci
6:09isn't used here , but simply a price
6:12action pattern . A price action pattern
6:15simply indicates that the market is
6:17ready to begin to continue this upward
6:19movement . Considering that I skipped
6:22the first part of the entry , the lower
6:23you enter , the better . I entered here
6:26at the highs because we had potential
6:29for continued movement . A pinbar
6:32pattern formed . Here , a hint will
6:34appear , indicating that the market
6:36can't go lower . It was the spike that
6:39prompted us . So , it will continue its
6:41upward movement . I opened my trade and
6:44left it . But do you see what the point
6:46is ? The point is that initially there
6:48was an aggressive impulse upwards
6:50before this spike , and we were going
6:52for a risk-reward ratio of 1 : 2 c2 . But
6:56it was impossible to catch this impulse
6:58unless you set a take-profit . And I
7:00almost never set a take-profit . I try
7:02to catch strong movements , and that's
7:04why the price rolled back . As a result ,
7:07I didn't close the risk-reward ratio
7:10here . Let's mark it now . Somewhere
7:12around here , it was one to one , but
7:15nevertheless . That is , the risk was $
7:17800 , I closed $ 800 . And why did I
7:19close this position ? I closed this
7:22position solely because we had an
7:25engulfing pattern formed on the
7:27four-hour timeframe . Now let's move on
7:30to the four-hour timeframe . Let me show
7:31you this trade first . This position is
7:35$ 105 . And what's the point ? Let's move
7:38on to the four-hour timeframe . Let's
7:41take a look at this situation . We have
7:43an engulfing pattern forming . I thought
7:46there was potential for further price
7:48decline , but there were several
7:50counterarguments . They were that , while
7:53the four-hour timeframe appears to have
7:56a downward wave , this downward wave ,
7:59from a structural perspective , is
8:02simply a correction into an upward wave
8:05. Therefore , opening a position was
8:08questionable . I decided to look at all
8:10the other timeframes , switching to the
8:12hourly timeframe to see what had formed
8:14there . On the hourly timeframe , we
8:16actually had a PPR pattern for buying .
8:19That is , a pattern for buying , and it
8:21seems even from the position of an
8:22upward wave , because , as you can see ,
8:24here we have upward momentum , a
8:25correction , and then we are looking for
8:27an opportunity to buy . So , it turns out
8:31that the H1 structure is for buying ,
8:33while the H4 structure seems to be for
8:35both buying and selling . The big
8:39question , in fact , arose solely because
8:42of this engulfing pattern . And if we
8:46switch to the 15 - minute timeframe , then
8:48on the 15 - minute timeframe , the market
8:50also seemed to be suggesting there was
8:52potential for further growth . So I
8:55decided to stick to my old plan . I
8:57closed the trade for a profit of $ 105 ,
9:00just to cover part of the commission
9:02for the previous and current open trade
9:05. And then I opened a further trade in
9:07the same direction , but with a shorter
9:09stop . Here I opened my buy trade . And
9:12look , everything went quite well . The
9:16price fluctuated for a while , meaning
9:18there were some attempts to continue
9:20the downward movement , but we can see
9:22that the spikes in these candles were
9:24all paying off . This was another
9:27additional reason why I closed my sell
9:29trade . So , you see , a spike down , they
9:32bought it back sharply , a spike down ,
9:33they bought it back sharply , and then I
9:35closed my trade . Then there was another
9:38final spike down . I was already
9:40thinking that they were starting to
9:42move aggressively and work out the
9:44engulfing pattern , but we're buying it
9:46all out , and then we're starting to see
9:48an aggressive upward momentum . I closed
9:50it , essentially , for a reason . That is ,
9:51the peak was much higher , and the
9:54market was moving like this . Why did I
9:57close ? There were several reasons for
9:59closing . The first reason was that it
10:02was already quite late . You see , I
10:05published this screenshot at 1:30 a.m.
10:07I didn't want to sit in front of the
10:09screen , constantly watching , trying to
10:11figure out what was going to happen
10:12next . It didn't make much sense .
10:15Especially since I'd been thinking
10:17about this position all day . So , I
10:19decided to close the trade , but it
10:21wasn't without reason either . The thing
10:24is , if we switch to the hourly
10:25timeframe , we see the following
10:27situation . We have some specific upward
10:30momentum . And you see , all these
10:31candles are starting to form within the
10:33range of this spike . If candlesticks
10:36form within the range of a given spike ,
10:38and any spike indicates a struggle
10:40between bulls and bears , this indicates
10:42that the struggle is ongoing . In other
10:46words , the price is essentially telling
10:48me , " Either you can close the
10:50risk-reward ratio now , which is
10:52practically one : three plus the risk
10:54you put into the stop-loss , which is
10:56another risk , essentially taking one to
10:58four . " Or you continue to hold this
11:02position in the hope of achieving some
11:04as-yet-unclear figure . Where we're
11:07headed here isn't entirely clear .
11:08There's potential for us to fall even
11:10further from here , but nevertheless .
11:12I'm choosing the most conservative
11:14option . I have three profit risks .
11:16Accordingly , I can use these three
11:18profit risks however I like . Therefore ,
11:22I close this position , take a profit of
11:25$ 1,645 , and that's it . That's
11:28basically it . I hope this is clear . If
11:32you have any questions , please ask them
11:33in the comments to this video . I'll try
11:35to help and answer everyone . Profitable
11:36trading to you . And bye .
