Hi all,

I would like to start to post my altcoin trades here, being as transparent as possible.

(edit: i once received a ban for excessive bumping so please:)
Join me on to see charts, real time entries & exits



Why I'm doing this:
-forcing myself to trade disciplined - I just can't paper trade and will post entries and exits shortly after execution.
-planning trades more detailed - I will try to post charts I'm watching reasoning my entries & Exits, preventing to jump into trades (I'm an "overtrader")
-overall improvement due to adjustment within this thread after results/ feedback
-fun I hope and  I'm hoping for another bull run in btc trying to accumulate as many btc as possible until then

whats my trading style
- I'm a scalp and swing trader. not at all a hodler. For me 95%+ of the coins are shit coins and doomed and i treat all coins like that -except btc. I don't care about fundamentals which makes my trading technical.
- I use trendlines, support, resistance, price action, sometimes RSI and MACD histogramm, no fancy indicators - keeping it as simple as possible.
- I always have a stop loss! While trading I will execute manually. I willl never sleep in a coin without a stop loss in the system (reason see above)
- I try to cut losses usually at less than 2%. 5% if position size is small. More than 10% means i screwed up somewhere.
- I try to avoid coins with less than 200 btc daily volume or use very small position size
- orderbook may sometimes have relevance
- i trade in binance and bitmex (but bitmex tilts me)

my background
- 40y old german family father with 2 kids
- I was a full time day trader in the stockmarket from 2006-2009
- part time trading crypto since end of Jan'18 starting with 0,29 btc, currently at 2.9 btc - which is my trading capital i will use here. (how could i miss out on 2017 Sad  Huh)

That's it for now - let's see how it goes....and never forget: nothing in this thread here is financial advise
