Instead of getting margin called.

Have small amount of stops before the margin call. Your margin call price will get lower and have a stop before that call. (cross leverage)

Your position will be underwater and need a price above your oginal entry but better than losing it all.

Hopium is only above $9000

Adding to your longs isn't a good idea in this scenario.

Try to stay alive


Everything under $9k is a potential bull trap.

Above $9k and you have to analyze the market & adjust your stops.

Reduce or add but with multiple stops

There is still a possibility for a retest of at least 9k

https://ibb.co/d58Ryvc

Well said. And, I should add, make the stops redundant - the last two should go over what's needed with the "close only"  flag set. Just in case, you know. When turmoil and panic ensue, price jumps can be badly discontinuous.

At least your take about "breathing stops", as I call them, is IMO golden. Your analysis of current prices hits a fair match with what my SOMA tools  report. Technicals apart, given the wimpy volume, 9k retest is entirely possible - for example, in the scenario where this is just a slow, deep "shake down"  in a double "shake down, shake up" move or, even better, in a "shake down, move up (front run the halving)".

Note I'm saying nothing about your beliefs, "religion"  or attitude, which might be seen as crappy and will be promptly swatted should the need arise.

Yeah they won't be able to suppress the price much longer.
People are realising it's freedom-money.
We ain't seen nothing yet.

Hopefully man, I have an ever increasing stash of coins but the price sucks. I was financial freedom damn it.
Roll on 2-3 years time. I have plans that need bitcoin to rise dramatically Cheesy

At this rate you're gonna end up as the Duke of Liverpool (let's call it that so we don't dox you lol). We will all be your little serfs, doffing our caps when you and the Duchess L pass by. Please look kindly on your humble servants.

Haha, would just be nice to see some positive price action. The time between parabolic rise & catastrophic correction is so long isn’t it.

The peaks of each bear & bull market are so short, I get so impatient inbetween. Problem is the inbetween period is literally a couple of years isn’t it.

Low volatility = good for accumulation & thar’s all really. This does nothing for my thrill chasing Grin

Yeah... but we never know if the correction is going to be long one or a short one.

Took THC Cannabis Oil yesterday & spent most of the day like a cabbage, fuck that is some weird shit man.

Never again!

Still feel weird now. Observing sub 8k Sad
Like a cabbage. I'll steal this!  Cool

Oral route is a wild thing. It takes a little more to get thresholds effects, but once that line is passed, you're in for a looooong ride. There are a few people who actually enjoy that, but at least in the sample population of my stoner friends, it's a definite minority. Worse than psychs IME.

Sounds good I only see CBD which seems to undermine the point of it for me

What is wrong with CBD on its own ? I've learned to enjoy the "body-relaxing" qualities, that leave me clear-headed.

I’m sure CBD is fine. The THC oil is like some kind of mushroom or acid trip, never ingesting it again man. I have 5 bottles though, might use it on my skin or in the bath or something.
You could probably also use it to make your own edibles (depending on what exactly your oil contains). Concentrates make for fairly easy pinpoint dosing.

Yes! A few drops in a latte or something require little or no cooking and can give a humanly bearable stone for only a few hours.

On the other hand, Baudelaire used to gulp down like 3 grams of the good stuff and then off to the theater. They didn't have Marvel back then, but I suspect it all looked like Spiderman 14: The Vortex to them. 72 hours straight could easily break a lesser spirit.

Thc build up your tolerance fast. That's what's happening in the USA market, with people dabbing pure thc and so on... imho this is not a sane behavior, and could lead to some damage long-term (and a second ban of the relatively harmless cannabis).

Baudelaire used to ingest black hash with a 10-20% thc content, not pure oil or extract.

CBD is the "good" part of cannabis, it has some anxyolitic and antipsychotic properties (contrary to thc), but to feel an effect you have to ingest like a gram or so (according to clinical trials), so it can get really expensive.

"A friend of mine" Wink Wink

SWIM is a busy person.

True story. But i wasn't perfectly detailed about "a friend": It was my girlfriend  Roll Eyes
While i was in pittsburgh at IBM for a week. Otherwise she would have had a driver with a car to take her home Grin
I'm glad i missed this, i would have tried it myself. I was way more sensitive to THC than her.
She could never stand that taste again, by the way.

EDIT: I saw the btc dip in the morning, that was exactly what i was feeling about yesterday. Same constellations as before the last dip: Similar low volume, short green 1d candle, short red 1d candle in a narrowing bollinger band, the red candle breaking slightly below the lower BB boundary and boom. See the cryptowatch screenshots i posted yesterday...
If it also drops a few hundred within 24h, i'm gonna be fine with that. Approaching rebuy zone 3... 2... 1...  Smiley

EDIT2: And leave some comment about my SOMA analysis, if possible #nohomo

It kinda should...  amazingly (how would I know?) there may be less visual etc craziness, but the headspace, intensity and duration can be right on par.

Interesting...Lump sum beats DCA about 68% of the time.

https://shitcoin.ninja/post/2019/10/comparing-bitcoin-investment-strategies/

Quote
We created a simple trial comparing lump sum to the strategy of investing in the same amount monthly over a year, and found that lump sum still won ~67.9% of the time. Even the arbitrarily reduced dataset showed that Lump Sum beats DCA 60.8% of time.

DCA is still way the fuck more practical for the vast majority of peeps.

Most of us already know that a large number of peeps cannot even come up with a few hundred dollars for an emergency.

Therefore it is way the fuck better for them to invest regularly, as if they were buying a coffee or an extra bag of groceries or whatever and then just forget about it for 5 years or more.

Obviously, if someone doesn't have a lump sum, then they cannot invest a lump sum.
They simply analyzed all possible scenarios.
One conclusion could be that in life it is better to have an investable lump sum than DCA as it simply opens up more investing options, clearly.
Heck, one can even borrow such a lump sum-a risky path that I don't condone, but in some situations it works. I used it a few times, more than a decade ago, when market was strong and you only paid 0-2% to borrow. Now cc companies boosted the borrowing % to 4-5% and it does not make sense anymore. Getting personal loans from the bank is possible, but you need to have a cash flow present to justify such loan.

What is blockchain payment?  Something new?

I heard it was released in 2008 or something.
