(Works even when BTC is sleeping!)
🔍 WHAT'S THE CATCH?
Most are waiting for volatility, while we will profit in a flat with minimal risk!
📊 Ideal conditions:
- BTC moves in a ±2% range for more than 4 hours
- Trading volumes are below average
- Absence of major news
📌 3 STEPS TO PROFIT
1️⃣ Look for the "Stagnation Zone"
- On the 1H chart, look for a horizontal channel (at least 3 tests of support/resistance)
- Check the volume: the last candles should be "empty" (low volume)
2️⃣ Entry point
- For LONG: Buy on a bounce from the lower boundary + confirmation:
- Candle closes in the upper 30% of the range
- RSI (14) < 45 (not oversold)
- For SHORT: Similarly at the upper boundary
3️⃣ Exit
- Take-profit: 1.5-2% from entry
- Stop-loss: 0.8-1% (already outside the channel)
💡 EXAMPLE FROM PRACTICE (ETH/USDT)
Situation:
- 6 hours of flat in the range of $3,400-$3,450
- Volumes are falling for 3 candles in a row
Actions:
1. Buy at $3,405 (bounce from the bottom)
2. Stop: $3,370 (-1%)
3. Take: $3,470 (+1.9%)
Result: +$8 from a $500 deposit in 2 hours
🎯 5 SECRETS OF SUCCESS
1. Trade only BTC/ETH – other pairs are too risky
2. Ignore the first 30 minutes after the exchanges open (false breakouts)
3. Use limit orders – less slippage
4. Don't be greedy – 2% profit is already a success
5. Analyze futures levels (especially large clusters of orders)
📈 HOW TO AUTOMATE?
1. Set alerts for the channel breakout in TradingView
2. Use Grid-bots for automated trading in range
3. Keep a journal with notes:
- Channel width
- Number of boundary tests
- Trade result
🚨 WHAT TO DO IF THE STRATEGY "BREAKS"?
1. The market sharply moved up/down – immediately close all positions
2. Volume has unexpectedly increased – waiting for confirmation of a new trend
3. Major news has arrived – we switch to wait mode
💬 CHECK YOURSELF
✅ Did you find a clear horizontal channel?
✅ Are volumes indeed low?
✅ RSI not in extremes?
✅ No upcoming news?
4/4 "YES" = CAN TRADE!
