Title: 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Trading - The Ultimate Beginners Guide

Like 50 Cent said, Get Rich or Die Trading.

This guide is for everyone who's ever wanted a basic "how to trade guide" to learn the ropes. Please bump this if you enjoyed it.

In March 2016, when Ethereum was $10, I wrote this on the Ethereum Forum, a thread that got 100,000 views:

"My advice to everyone is and take it with a grain of salt:

You have a chance, a small chance, if you play your cards right, to get filthy rich. For example, there was one year where $100 of litecoin was worth $30,000 AFTER ONE YEAR. What you do now with your ether is up to you. You can horde it and hope (it will.. trust me it will go up so friggen much that it's going to blow your face away) it goes up. You can sell it right away or use the extra capital for trading crypto.. the choice is yours.

But just remember that Ethereum is HUGE. This is the biggest thing to happen on the internet in the longest time. How much you believe in Ethereum versus how much time you can afford to wait will determine what you do."

The best thing I've ever done in life was TAKE MY OWN ADVICE ABOUT ETHEREUM.

Here's the most simple and detailed guide to trading on the internet:


I remember two years ago when I first started trading. I was overwhelmed with the information out. So, here is the universal guide for all beginners that is proven to work time and time again. I highly suggest to study risk management, which will be a blog I'll touch briefly on soon.
Remember that we’re all in different stages of the game. Some of us just heard about it this year and are now curious because of the allure of making huge profits. While most of us reading this right now are enthusiasts, like myself, who’s constantly striving to learn, improve his kills, rid of arrogance and stubbornness, all for the grand goal of making profit. How can we do this? By sharing ideas and improving the community. Take what we’ve learned and pass it on, while filling our insatiable appetite to devour knowledge and grow further.

This is a guide solely intended for new audiences trading Bitcoin, where technology and politics are set aside.

These are my experiences and I want to share them.

Before I begin, I want to highly emphasize that trading is ruled by fear and greed. If it were easy and only the smartest people were successful, everyone would be doing it. Even the smartest guys lose money. Why? Because this is a game where your emotions MUST be controlled. You MUST exercise discipline, caution, and patience. You MUST make your own decisions, do the research, and perform the technical analysis.

Learn the necessary skills emotionally and technically to succeed. The emotional part of trading is not discussed much, but know that it’s just as important as the technical aspect. Stick to a strategy, eat, breathe, and sleep it while checking your emotions at the door. Do NOT panic my crypto friend, we will overcome the learning curve with ease.

"Dont predict the market. React to it."

- Tim Grittani and Tim Sykes

The bulls make money. The bears make money. And the pigs get slaughtered.

Do not trust anyone’s advice except your own and put in the hard work. Remember, we’re all competitors at the end of the day and every time a trader profits, another trader loses.

Choose your trade platform, set up your screens, pick a few indicators

I trade at http://bitfinex.com/ and am a very happy customer.

Trading View charts built in. Best charts you can get. Unlimited saves.
Clean and customizable platform
Margin trading to leverage 3.3X
Constant improvements and new coins added
High liquidity
Can trade /ETH/USD/BTC
Visually easy on the eyes

I have to admit there’s sometimes lag and orders don’t execute how you want them to, but every exchange has their issues and we can’t expect perfection. Deal with them as best we can and reserve our emotional energy because after all, trading is all about managing our emotions.

Here’s my setup on my main screen.

https://s25.postimg.org/ytsj7eyi7/image.png

Remember that screen space is real estate. You want to have as much as possible in an ideal view to prevent neck and eye strain. My recommendation is at least 2 monitors. Some people may need more, and some less. It just comes down to what you need to monitor and personal preference. My other screens are a bunch of charts in different time frames of other coins, and another for social media/entertainment.

The most important things to have is the level 2, which is also known as the order book / trades. This let you see in real time momentum changes and potential walls. Also, you MUST have your order form readily available to execute quick decisions.
The time frames you monitor is dependent on what type of trader you are and what time you can allocate. For example, if you have a full time job, day trading on a 5 or 15 minute chart may not be for you as it requires too much time. Though a good choice would be to trade on a daily chart if you can only make a few trades a week.

For myself, I’m a day trader so I have 5, 15, and 30 minute charts up usually. Sometimes the 1 minute and 3 minute chart when precisely timing my entries and exits.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with all the tools and layout of your exchange. Know what everything is and be one with it. It’s important to ask yourself what kind of trader you want to be. It comes down to do you want to look for new opportunities with new coins or trade high liquidity and market cap coins like bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin, or maybe a combination of everything.

I personally trade Bitcoin, OmiseGo, and Ethereum. These are the 3 coins that take up a large portion of my portfolio. It’s good to familiarize yourself with a few coins only so you can become experts by knowing their pattern and chart history. I don’t waste time looking for ICOs (initial coin offerings, like when a stock goes public, but here a coin) because most of them are scams. Nor do I care about what happens to them 6 months from now because I’m a day trader.

INDICATORS - RSI, MACD, Moving Average


Now out of a billion indicators to pick, choose a few. There are pros and cons of all indicators. Some swear by some, some swear by others.

When you read a large majority of technical analysis, you’ll find most of them reference these indicators. So it’s good to speak this language and also understand what these indicators are, how they’re used, and general strategies.

Let’s learn them quickly, but properly.


RSI – Relative Strength Index


This is a measure of momentum and how much strength it has to go up, sideways, or down. It’s a indication for momentum shift when combined with watching the level 2.

Generally speaking, BUT NOT ALWAYS:


If the RSI is under 30, it’s OVER SOLD. As it approaches 30, be cautious as a reversal may happen soon to the upside.


If the RSI is over 70, it’s OVER BOUGHT. As it approaches 70 and above, be cautious as a reversal may happen soon to the downside.

As it flattens out, it loses strength (called convergence) It has to reach a higher RSI than the previous high to have momentum to go higher. And vice versa on the down side.

This doesn’t mean it’s always going to bounce off 30 or 70. In my opinion, for a very strong bullish push, it MUST reach the 80s, and for a very strong bearish push, it MUST reach the 20s.

Here’s OmiseGo reaching 10 RSI, which is a very strong downtrend. Notice that it was already at 30? Most would “assume” a bounce off it, but always be cautious.

https://s25.postimg.org/s3c1y2j33/image.png

A general strategy that can be used on a high time frame chart such as 6 Hour on OmiseGo:


1 - buy when the RSI is near 30 and bouncing off it, and sell it when it nears 70 and bounces off it.

2 - short when it’s near 70 and bouncing off it, and buy in when it nears 3- and bounces off it.
This alone would actually make you REALLY profitable. Let’s look at OmiseGo over the last month using this strategy alone.


Betting that a market is going up is just half of trading! You can also bet on the market going down called shorting.

Long means you’re betting it goes up, and short means you’re betting it goes down (margin trading)

https://s25.postimg.org/d8ngjcrcf/image.png

A – Short at A. Close at B
B – Long at B. Close at C
C – Short at C. Close at D
D – Long at D. Close at E.

In hindsight, it’s easy to say we can do this because we see the charts. Though, I must emphasize to look for the flattening out I’ve mentioned and highlighted above. This is called. convergence. This is a very strong indication that the momentum is lost and a reversal is likely to happen.

MACD – Moving Average Convergence Divergence


Now that we have a basic understand of RSI, let’s combine with MACD. The MACD is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between TWO moving averages.

BUY AND SELL WHEN THEY CROSS

https://s25.postimg.org/4qe0f4nfj/image.png

A - Short at A. Close at B
B - Long at B. Close at C
D – Long D. Close at E
E – Short at E. Close at F

OmiseGo Example on 3 hour time frame

https://s25.postimg.org/89zy50q67/image.png

Litecoin 3 hour time frame


https://s25.postimg.org/535elgavz/image.png

I can’t emphasize how basic of a strategy this is, but how successful it is. Sometimes as traders, we forget about the basics and let our emotions ride us. Stick to the fundamentals, be consistent with your strategy, check your emotions at the door, and understand price doesn’t change instantly will allow you to ride out the shorts and longs just like this.


EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGES

I use exponential moving averages , 8, 13, 21, and 55, which are tuned to Fibonacci numbers. The general strategy is this:

Go Long when the moving averages cross, with the 50 moving average BELOW all the others. Ride the wave until they cross again and the 50 moving average moves to ABOVE the other averages. One will argue “well we should’ve sold it at the very top.” In hind sight, yes it’s easy to say that we we never know when the actual top is. Once more well versed, you can combined the moving averages with the MACD and the RSI to align the stars.

Let’s look at Ethereum:

https://s25.postimg.org/5so6xv15r/image.png


Let’s look at another example of Ethereum.

https://s25.postimg.org/rf37f0hrj/image.png

And another exmaple of LiteCoin


https://s25.postimg.org/nipvj2mi7/image.png

What we're looking for are reasons to enter a trade and reasons to exit a trade. The more green lights we have, the more we can rev our engines and let loose.

I hope this gave people a quick overview of some general strategies that can be used when trading. The best advice I can give to anyone is to back test your strategies. See if they would've worked on previous setups. Remember to look to the future, we have to first look into the past.

Hi guys. My Day 11 video is up. With careful planning, I'm in a position to profit $400+ in a few days. This video will give tons on insight on how professionals trade, but explained in an easy way to understand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDXg798axOg

Here's a continuation of Day 12 where I made $100+ in 20 minutes.

Day 12 - starting with $212. profit of $520 total (345% growth)

https://youtu.be/0nuNnpDaVfU

Please please watch these videos. Especially Day 11 and Day 12. Watch them over and over again until you understand it 100% and can do it yourself (if you can't already).

These are LIVE trades that's raw, unedited, and narrated to the max.

I haven't seen anything like this as thorough on youtube because no one wants to share their secrets.

Afterall, we're all competitors and the mentality is, the more other people know, the less money I can make. That's a really bad attitude because we should all be helping each other.

Why did you take a break?

I was going to today, but now trading this ABC correction till it ends.

Currently up $250 with a principal of only $650 (~ 40%) Which will be in Day 13's video tomorrow.

I plan to double that $650 today and get it up to $1,300 if I can stay up longer. Coffee isn't helping.

Day 13 video will be 5+ hours long with very detailed and advanced analysis.

so I started watching your guides but as a complete noob I have a really hard time understanding what you are doing.
Can you make a tutorial and explain what everything you can see on bitfinex actually means and does? Also how can I customize my bitfinex to look like yours?
Also the first video is really... exhausting to watch. I think that really was a little too much weed that evening :D

Anyway thank you for your tutorials, they seem very helpful and good once you understood the basics. But without the basics it's really confusing. The most detailed tutorial I've seen.

also: could you upload the excel file anywhere?

edit: you also might want to reconsider uploading videos where you use an unactivated software. PM me if you need assistance with this.

Thank you philakone, will be sure to check out your videos and a lot of the advise you have given I can really relate to. However, some of them are nice refreshers and new insights as I have become a little bit rusty. Keep going strong and in the way you do now, seems to work very well.

You have a chance, a small chance, if you play your cards right, to get filthy rich. For example, there was one year where $100 of litecoin was worth $30,000 AFTER ONE YEAR. What you do now with your ether is up to you. You can horde it and hope (it will.. trust me it will go up so friggen much that it's going to blow your face away) it goes up. You can sell it right away or use the extra capital for trading crypto.. the choice is yours.

But just remember that Ethereum is HUGE. This is the biggest thing to happen on the internet in the longest time. How much you believe in Ethereum versus how much time you can afford to wait will determine what you do."

Here's the most simple and detailed guide to trading on the internet:


I remember two years ago when I first started trading. I was overwhelmed with the information out. So, here is the universal guide for all beginners that is proven to work time and time again. I highly suggest to study risk management, which will be a blog I'll touch briefly on soon.
Remember that we’re all in different stages of the game. Some of us just heard about it this year and are now curious because of the allure of making huge profits. While most of us reading this right now are enthusiasts, like myself, who’s constantly striving to learn, improve his kills, rid of arrogance and stubbornness, all for the grand goal of making profit. How can we do this? By sharing ideas and improving the community. Take what we’ve learned and pass it on, while filling our insatiable appetite to devour knowledge and grow further.

This is a guide solely intended for new audiences trading Bitcoin, where technology and politics are set aside.

These are my experiences and I want to share them.

Before I begin, I want to highly emphasize that trading is ruled by fear and greed. If it were easy and only the smartest people were successful, everyone would be doing it. Even the smartest guys lose money. Why? Because this is a game where your emotions MUST be controlled. You MUST exercise discipline, caution, and patience. You MUST make your own decisions, do the research, and perform the technical analysis.

Learn the necessary skills emotionally and technically to succeed. The emotional part of trading is not discussed much, but know that it’s just as important as the technical aspect. Stick to a strategy, eat, breathe, and sleep it while checking your emotions at the door. Do NOT panic my crypto friend, we will overcome the learning curve with ease.

"Dont predict the market. React to it."

- Tim Grittani and Tim Sykes

The bulls make money. The bears make money. And the pigs get slaughtered.

Do not trust anyone’s advice except your own and put in the hard work. Remember, we’re all competitors at the end of the day and every time a trader profits, another trader loses.

Choose your trade platform, set up your screens, pick a few indicators

I trade at http://bitfinex.com/ and am a very happy customer.

Trading View charts built in. Best charts you can get. Unlimited saves.
Clean and customizable platform
Margin trading to leverage 3.3X
Constant improvements and new coins added
High liquidity
Can trade /ETH/USD/BTC
Visually easy on the eyes

I have to admit there’s sometimes lag and orders don’t execute how you want them to, but every exchange has their issues and we can’t expect perfection. Deal with them as best we can and reserve our emotional energy because after all, trading is all about managing our emotions.

Here’s my setup on my main screen.

https://s25.postimg.org/ytsj7eyi7/image.png

Remember that screen space is real estate. You want to have as much as possible in an ideal view to prevent neck and eye strain. My recommendation is at least 2 monitors. Some people may need more, and some less. It just comes down to what you need to monitor and personal preference. My other screens are a bunch of charts in different time frames of other coins, and another for social media/entertainment.

The most important things to have is the level 2, which is also known as the order book / trades. This let you see in real time momentum changes and potential walls. Also, you MUST have your order form readily available to execute quick decisions.
The time frames you monitor is dependent on what type of trader you are and what time you can allocate. For example, if you have a full time job, day trading on a 5 or 15 minute chart may not be for you as it requires too much time. Though a good choice would be to trade on a daily chart if you can only make a few trades a week.

For myself, I’m a day trader so I have 5, 15, and 30 minute charts up usually. Sometimes the 1 minute and 3 minute chart when precisely timing my entries and exits.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with all the tools and layout of your exchange. Know what everything is and be one with it. It’s important to ask yourself what kind of trader you want to be. It comes down to do you want to look for new opportunities with new coins or trade high liquidity and market cap coins like bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin, or maybe a combination of everything.

I personally trade Bitcoin, OmiseGo, and Ethereum. These are the 3 coins that take up a large portion of my portfolio. It’s good to familiarize yourself with a few coins only so you can become experts by knowing their pattern and chart history. I don’t waste time looking for ICOs (initial coin offerings, like when a stock goes public, but here a coin) because most of them are scams. Nor do I care about what happens to them 6 months from now because I’m a day trader.

INDICATORS - RSI, MACD, Moving Average


Now out of a billion indicators to pick, choose a few. There are pros and cons of all indicators. Some swear by some, some swear by others.

When you read a large majority of technical analysis, you’ll find most of them reference these indicators. So it’s good to speak this language and also understand what these indicators are, how they’re used, and general strategies.

Let’s learn them quickly, but properly.


RSI – Relative Strength Index


This is a measure of momentum and how much strength it has to go up, sideways, or down. It’s a indication for momentum shift when combined with watching the level 2.

Generally speaking, BUT NOT ALWAYS:


If the RSI is under 30, it’s OVER SOLD. As it approaches 30, be cautious as a reversal may happen soon to the upside.


If the RSI is over 70, it’s OVER BOUGHT. As it approaches 70 and above, be cautious as a reversal may happen soon to the downside.

As it flattens out, it loses strength (called convergence) It has to reach a higher RSI than the previous high to have momentum to go higher. And vice versa on the down side.

This doesn’t mean it’s always going to bounce off 30 or 70. In my opinion, for a very strong bullish push, it MUST reach the 80s, and for a very strong bearish push, it MUST reach the 20s.

Here’s OmiseGo reaching 10 RSI, which is a very strong downtrend. Notice that it was already at 30? Most would “assume” a bounce off it, but always be cautious.

https://s25.postimg.org/s3c1y2j33/image.png

A general strategy that can be used on a high time frame chart such as 6 Hour on OmiseGo:


1 - buy when the RSI is near 30 and bouncing off it, and sell it when it nears 70 and bounces off it.

2 - short when it’s near 70 and bouncing off it, and buy in when it nears 3- and bounces off it.
This alone would actually make you REALLY profitable. Let’s look at OmiseGo over the last month using this strategy alone.


Betting that a market is going up is just half of trading! You can also bet on the market going down called shorting.

Long means you’re betting it goes up, and short means you’re betting it goes down (margin trading)

https://s25.postimg.org/d8ngjcrcf/image.png

A – Short at A. Close at B
B – Long at B. Close at C
C – Short at C. Close at D
D – Long at D. Close at E.

In hindsight, it’s easy to say we can do this because we see the charts. Though, I must emphasize to look for the flattening out I’ve mentioned and highlighted above. This is called. convergence. This is a very strong indication that the momentum is lost and a reversal is likely to happen.

MACD – Moving Average Convergence Divergence


Now that we have a basic understand of RSI, let’s combine with MACD. The MACD is a momentum indicator that shows the relationship between TWO moving averages.

BUY AND SELL WHEN THEY CROSS

https://s25.postimg.org/4qe0f4nfj/image.png

A - Short at A. Close at B
B - Long at B. Close at C
D – Long D. Close at E
E – Short at E. Close at F

OmiseGo Example on 3 hour time frame

https://s25.postimg.org/89zy50q67/image.png

Litecoin 3 hour time frame


https://s25.postimg.org/535elgavz/image.png

I can’t emphasize how basic of a strategy this is, but how successful it is. Sometimes as traders, we forget about the basics and let our emotions ride us. Stick to the fundamentals, be consistent with your strategy, check your emotions at the door, and understand price doesn’t change instantly will allow you to ride out the shorts and longs just like this.


EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGES

I use exponential moving averages , 8, 13, 21, and 55, which are tuned to Fibonacci numbers. The general strategy is this:

Go Long when the moving averages cross, with the 50 moving average BELOW all the others. Ride the wave until they cross again and the 50 moving average moves to ABOVE the other averages. One will argue “well we should’ve sold it at the very top.” In hind sight, yes it’s easy to say that we we never know when the actual top is. Once more well versed, you can combined the moving averages with the MACD and the RSI to align the stars.

Let’s look at Ethereum:

https://s25.postimg.org/5so6xv15r/image.png


Let’s look at another example of Ethereum.

https://s25.postimg.org/rf37f0hrj/image.png

And another exmaple of LiteCoin


https://s25.postimg.org/nipvj2mi7/image.png

What we're looking for are reasons to enter a trade and reasons to exit a trade. The more green lights we have, the more we can rev our engines and let loose.

I hope this gave people a quick overview of some general strategies that can be used when trading. The best advice I can give to anyone is to back test your strategies. See if they would've worked on previous setups. Remember to look to the future, we have to first look into the past.

I also have tons of video content on youtube. I started a video series of "How to make 9K in 90 Days with $200."

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and I'd be more than happy to help. I'll go over my strategy and thought process in high detail, with clear explanations that anyone can understand.

A video of all all my trades live will be posted daily. I'm very active on Youtube, Twitter, and Trading view, constantly sharing ideas, so you'd be silly not to subscribe to me!

Thanks!

Glad you found it useful. The amount to start with should be fairly low. During the beginning states of trading, trading a large amount of not recommended.

The beginning states should be used as a learning phase and there's no better way to learn than to start small. Expensive lessons don't need to be learned as small amounts will teach the same lesson.

I would suggest starting out with maybe $100-$200 and as you can grow that number to a larger amount, start playing playing larger position sizes.

What a lot of people do is start with a bigger number like 1000-2000, wiping their account fairly fast. The market has this special way of humbling you.

I'd hate to see the market deplete someone's account online.

On another note, always be sure to have 2FA protection and whitelists (only specific ip can login or withdraw funds). It's extremely important to protect our accounts as hackers will constantly seek out vulnerabilities.

Best of luck. Make sure to check out my YT videos as they provide tons of useful information.

I only trade LTC, NEO, OmiseGo, and XRP as they are a large part of my porftolio. I don't bother looking for new ICO or coins as they take up much time as a day-trader.

In the newbies section but feels like everyone could read this and gain something.   Im not confident enough to be trading shorter time frames, I prefer to call a long trend line and have more confidence in that trend being held as significant by the market.   I will follow on youtube.
Any opinions on the OBV indicator for direction

I strongly disagree with you saying there is a small chance to become rich. I think the chanve is huge. Massive infact. People just need to want tmit badly enough. People who give u or thank it's easy don't deserve anything. Only hardwork and determination will make you successful. There is an opportunity staring us all in the face. Who will rise up and what will fall? I'm not falling behind. I'm already riding the crypto ship to wealth. I believe in myself I was self taught and I'm doing very well. Crypto is what in good at. I can see myself doing nothing else. Nothing else makes me happy and to he drank I'm not good at anything else besides business and making money.

Viva crypto Viva!! My life for crypto.
If you not willing to die for it then you will never get it. I will get rich or I lytrally will die trying.

Hey man where's the latest videos?  Did you get wiped out?

Haha no. :) full-time (and good) traders don't get wiped out who do this for a living. Read description of Day 16 video:

time versus money as I trade on a very large account as well and making those videos cost me quite a bit to trade on small accounts. Also xmas is coming up :) papa needs lots of toys and xmas presents. I also tweet much more now to directly help people in real time with play-by-play analysis on every trade I make. So my time has been allocated for the time being. I also got bored to be honest. It's not as fun scalping as one would think and it's the same thing over and over until you hit 9. There's lots of opportunity for some massive profits right now with large accounts and longer-hold positions.

feel free to follow me on twitter to see some of my content. it's unlike any other twitter.

How do you guys deal with your emotions during trading? Intellectually I get how to trade, but when the motions kick in, how do you manage to stay focused without making mistakes?

This is probably one of the most complete guides that I have seen for newbies about the mechanics of trading and I like the fact that you make an appeal to control our emotions, most people begin to trade thinking they are going to be rich by just buying a coin and then holding it for a long time but unless you have a strong reason to buy you should not do it, I have not watched your youtube channel but I’m going to do it in this week since I’m sure it has great quality like your OP.

Thank you so much for offering this help to the community. I've been trading for about 3 months now and have gone through many youtube and google articles. I just discovered this thread so I will start your youtube videos today.

Question:

How do time periods come into play in making decisions to enter trades. I look at everything from 5 minutes to 4 hours. What is the best time period to use to figure out an entry point?

Thank you.

Iota Nov 10 Technical Analysis and Price Forecast, Elliot Wave and Trend Line

https://youtu.be/ClFUrqaQtBs

What makes me different than most TA you'll see, is the depth I describe everything and how much you may take away from the analysis. Give it a shot.

I do TA on lots of coins every day while explaining in great detail. What makes my TA different is I explain everything in full detail for beginners and advanced traders.

It's important to share what we think and pass it on. Be open-minded. Constructive criticism is appreciated in a positive way, though negativity, hatred, and rants, aren't healthy in life.

I cover in detail  technical analysis, Elliot Wave, with price forecast and especially risk management.

Thank you so much philakone for your hard work and taking the time and effort to help us newbies get a decent start.

The most important thing you said was back test whatever strategy you want to use, sim, then live.

I currently been sim trading BTCUSD, but would like to add 2 more markets for study incase one is too choppy or stale

May I please have some help as I am bit new to cryptocurrency market, but not new to TA study?

Questions please:

1. Do you use Bitfinex as your chart analysis and broker as well to day trade all 3 coins?

2. For now, I work a full time job, and I use MT4 mobile (at work to watch the charts every hour or so) and desktop app (at home) with SimpleFx as my broker. What timeframe do you recommend for my case? I was thinking of just watching the 1 hour chart once per hour for long buy and sell swing trades.

3. What stop loss do you recommend if starting with $200 - $300?

4. Do you have a video on how to increase lots size as account balance increase?

5. Do you recommend trading with coins or just deposit cash in the account? Like you, I don't care about buy and hold forever.

6. I plan to manual back test a few methods over the weekend. Do you have a spreadsheet you use to determine if a strategy is profitable?

7. Do you back test by or some type of market replay software?

8. After backtesting, how do you make the decision if a strategy is profitable, decent drawdown, or worth going sim/live with?

9. How many trades do you use to have statistically confidence in a method?

9. Do you know of app that can alert when EMA crossover occurs?

10. What are you thoughts on programming and backtesting a bot for testing ideas?


Thank you kindly for help

I think it will be very helpful for a new trader.
Everyone will get these techniques of technical analysis on yotube  but the most important part is controlling emotions.
Which is very easy to say but very hard to do in real.
So new trader or everyone have to control emotions specifically to say greediness.

Wow.  What a great post.  Thanks for this.

I trade every day, but sometimes I over complicate it.  I have bookmarked this to come back to whenever I start to feel, "lost"

These are awesome strategies that anyone can employ to make money by trading.  And not just crypto either.  That's the cool thing about it.

It's time to put the lines back on my MACD indicator.  I was using MACD primarily to find divergences, but I lost track of just how important the lines are, especially when they cross.

I came across this from a post you did on the BCH ANN.  Spot on TA!

Cheers!

The best advice I can give to anyone is to back test your strategies. See if they would've worked on previous setups.


Thank you,

What is your :

1. Method for back testing a strategy?

2. How many trades do you backtest?

3. What profitability stats do you recommend to calculate to show the odds of strategy being profitability in the future?

Thanks

This is truly an excellent guide for a beginner in trading. Very useful in this crypto-space, where many people enthusiastically jump into the exhchanges full of coins and with no theoretic preparation and they end up being systematically slaughtered.

I was happy to give you one merit, you would deserve more but because of the merit system today I didn't rank up to Hero as I should have, and so I don't have too many sMerits :)
