Beginner Crypto Trading Strategy

1. Use the 2-Hour Chart

Since you asked about the last 2 hours, let's keep your focus on the 2-hour timeframe — it's a good balance between fast and slow trading.

2. Moving Averages (MA Strategy)

Set up 2 Moving Averages:

Short MA: 9-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

Long MA: 21-period EMA

Entry Signal: When the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA = Buy (Go Long)

Exit Signal: When the 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA = Sell (Close Position)

3. Risk Management

Never risk more than 1-2% of your account per trade.

Always use a Stop Loss:

For a buy trade, place stop loss below the most recent swing low.

For a sell (short) trade, place stop loss above the most recent swing high.

4. Take Profit Targets

First Target: 1.5x your risk (Example: if risking $10, aim to make $15 first)

Second Target: 2x or 3x risk (you can close half the position at first target and let the rest ride.)

5. Important Tip:

Only trade when volume is good (more activity = more reliable moves).

Avoid trading during high news times unless you know how to handle extreme volatility.

Example:

BNB price at $600.

9 EMA crosses above 21 EMA → You Buy.

Set Stop Loss at $590.

Target 1: $615.

Target 2: $630.
