Consistency is what you need in trading alts

[AlphaBheta]

I’ve seen a lot of people with great skills but a lack of consistency in their trading or honestly, in anything they do. It may not always be rosy, but showing up daily and improving by even less than 1% can truly work magic over time.

I’ve spoken to many traders recently, including one guy who’s currently top 3 on the Crazy 48h Phase 11 leaderboard. I asked him to share his strategy, and he mentioned that he trades much smarter now. He sticks to just one strategy: support and resistance. No fancy setups, just the basics. Sometimes he uses GetAgent for a daily timeframe rundown, but above all, he’s consistent. He shows up every day and tries to improve.

A few months ago, someone also made impressive numbers just by trading support and resistance on X. Again, the key factor was consistency.

What’s your take on this subject? And if you have any tips, I’d appreciate you sharing them

Indicators are used to know the support and resistance but they can failed. In fact, they are not very accurate. What I think may be accurate is price action but which can fail at anytime also.

Trading alts is very risky, it should be seen as gambling. Using just little amount of money for. It can easily take all the money someone has just like gambling and someone can be lucky but the chance to lose is high.

The guy you mentioned basically used SND method to trade. I'm also using it to determine the demand and supply zone, and it's often worked. However, it's wrong to think consistency is what you need it trade, the fact that you need also to keep your stop lose always alive, and having some patience.

Sometimes, people are rushing to enter the market just after they get or read a trading setup/signal. The key is that prepare your set up, put limit order or market when it's touching the supply and demand zone, put stop and lose, then be patience. If your stop lose gets hit means your set up is invalid.

This is the most basic thing needed when it comes trading in all especially with perp.

Consistency is nothing if you know the risk involved or what the market really works. If you trade like daily and still not profiting because you didn't do any technical analysis or your due diligence then you are still not gong to profit.

And it's better to get lessons from your mistakes. I know some traders who even go old school and write the things that went wrong so that they will correct it the next time they encounter this kind of opportunity.

You have to learn on those key points that he mentions, because if you are just going to copy he's style and put it in to trade the outcome will be different, learn how things works, and you have high percentage of getting a profit, it will be hard on start but it will eventually go in your way, patience is the key, and at the same time don't expect that there is always profit, the market is so unpredictable, that is why you also need to be very careful.

With altcoins that have low or no value, and lower trading volume and liquidity than Bitcoin, you should only trade with Spot. If you use leverages for margin or futures trading with altcoins, you take considerable higher risk than trading the same leverage with Bitcoin.

The market massacre in October this year has many big lessons for people who love altcoins, trade altcoins with leverages. In that market massacre, if you used leverages, I am sure you would have been liquidated as it's unable to avoid liquidations when price /5, /10 or even more within several minutes.

Trading is risky and trading altcoins is more dangerous while trading altcoins with leverages is more like suicide. Only matter of time when you lose money with altcoin market.

The October 10 crash.

Altcoins trading can not survive with consistency, because their market is highly volatile and frequently manipulated, this make trading them to be like gambling, although you can have some indicators that could help you to select the best in the market, but you must be ready to act fast and right all the time, don't follow the hype, new lunch altcoins have higher potential of pumping than the large volume multiple exchange and per coins.

A professional trader doesn't trade consistently because there's a time to open yiur position and close it. When you don't understand the market, you don't need to trade. Taking a break when trading is good because it will help you come up with new ideas. Altcoins trading is very risky and shouldn't be seen as something you will kill yourself over because you will run at loss.

Understanding support and resistance is basic, but it can also be the most important thing for a trader. Without it, one would not be able to read the market situation technically at all. However, in trading, we sometimes also need the ability to read the market situation sentimentally. So sometimes we also need to know what trend we are in, whether it is a bearish or bullish trend. This is very important to know, especially for those who trade in the futures market. Altcoins also sometimes have events or factors that significantly impact prices fundamentally, such as unlock events or similar occurrences. Therefore, in my opinion, while we can trade effectively using simple technical analysis, we must also understand market sentiment and fundamental news that can influence price movements in the market.

If you find a method that works best for you and you’re getting the result needed, then stick to it and make the best out of it while it lasts. Having different methods and not being able to find profitability in any of them is not making any sense at all. It just makes everything ambiguous without having any good real time results.

Trading has a lot of strategies to use on them and most of these strategies are mostly profitable, just go for the one that works best for you and stick to it forever as long as you’re making profit from it. Practice makes perfect and when you’re focus on one, you’ll see that results will speak out loudly for you overtime for showing up and keeping up to the consistency.

Of course, consistency plays a huge role, not just in trading, but in other areas as well. Whatever anyone is interested in that demands time and effort, it must be done consistently because that's what gives the result. If you or anyone feels that trading just resistance and support is the best thing to do, then keep up with it. Everyone can not have the same strategy even though they might be trading the same market.

And mind you, doing what others are doing without actually figuring out what works best for you, is certainly a road to destruction. Those who're using resistance and support effectively have done their part by working on that strategy for long. It would be wise to either master yours, or choose something else, and work on it consistently.

Consistency pays off on everything but then in altcoins trading what will help you the most is if you have an insider information you will be profitable beyond measures, people do not always expose what makes them profitable in mere conversations because that will be the problem they will face so they gate keep informations to a certain level regardless that consistency is needed you need some help in information to trade with that only comes from people who really wants to help you in the trading. I have a first hand experience on this.just one set up by someone who is ready much informed can change your trading.
