I& #39;m starting a thread with general trading knowledge/tips.
Mostly crypto related though.

I& #39;ll regularly come back to this thread.

These are my 10 rules for trading.
You can make your own, but I think these are pretty solid to start with.

Always go over these rules in your head before you take a trade.

The 3 main premises of technical analysis:

- Market action discounts anything.
- Price moves in trends.
- History repeats itself.

You need to accept this or you won& #39;t be able to do TA properly.
Source:
Open interest (OI) = outstanding derivative contracts.

Price vs OI can give you an idea of how strong or weak the market is.

#trading
In traditional markets price often interacts with the 0.382 & 0.618 fib level.
But #cryptocurrencies (not just $BTC) love to interact with the 0.5 fib level.
This works on all time frames.

I added some examples.
All technical indicators are based on price action or volume (or open interest).
Therefore a good trader should be able to tell what& #39;s going on just by looking at PA & VOL.

Indicators should only be used to confirm what you were already thinking.

Less is more.

#TA #trading
Don& #39;t force a trade.
Don& #39;t trade too much.

There is ALWAYS another opportunity.

No one has ever gone broke from not taking a trade.

Protecting capital is goal No.1 for a trader.

These are the percentages you need to break-even after losing money:

The saying "history repeats itself" exists for a reason.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a trader is assuming that markets will suddenly behave differently.

#trading #quoteoftheday
The #RSI is a popular, but often misused indicator to show when an asset is overbought (70 or higher) or oversold (30 or lower).

However in a bull market it& #39;s normal that the RSI consistently remains "overbought". This actually indicates strength!

Context is very important.
The initial swing high & swing low after a big pump or dump often create a range.

This happens all the time in every market, but it works especially well on $BTC & $ETH.
The Market Maker Profile is a concept initially pitched by ICT if I& #39;m not mistaken.
Over the years this concept has become very widespread.

But you can& #39;t find clean models anywhere so I made some.

Crypto derivatives exchanges have something called "funding rates".

It& #39;s an important mechanic that has a big impact on #bitcoin https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> price movement.

Quick tip.

When $BTC or $ETH are trending, the first big wick after the mark up tends to become an important s/r level in the future.

A few examples...
Quick tip.

When $BTC consolidates just above support and keeps hugging it, it& #39;s almost always a bull trap.
Especially when the consolidation slopes downward.

When bitcoin breaks out, it usually blasts away and doesn& #39;t give anyone a chance to get in.
