Trading isn’t just about candles and charts—it’s about understanding behavior, risk, emotion, and most importantly, yourself. My trading style didn’t evolve overnight. It was shaped through trial, error, market cycles, and late nights of self-reflection after stop-losses got triggered or profits ran away because of hesitation.
My Approach: A Hybrid Between Technical and Tactical.
I’m not a pure day trader nor a long-term holder. I sit somewhere in between—call it a swing-to-intraday hybrid. I look for momentum setups with clear risk-to-reward ratios, but I’m also not afraid to cut losses early or take profits when the market shows weakness. Flexibility is key.
I primarily use:
Technical analysis (trendlines, Fibonacci, RSI, MACD)
Volume patterns and market structure.
Price action confirmation rather than predictions
Fundamental context only when needed (like CPI, FOMC, major events)
But the most important part? I wait. I believe more in "no trade is better than a bad trade" than in chasing every green candle.
Chart Setup: Clean and Minimal
My chart is minimal. Too many indicators create noise. I use:
EMA 9/21/200 for trend direction.
MACD for momentum divergence.
Volume for breakout confirmation
Support and resistance zones drawn from multi-timeframe analysis
I also love the 4H and 1H timeframes. They give just enough data to plan but keep you nimble for adjustments.
Risk Management is Non-Negotiable
This is where most traders fail, and I was no exception early on. Now, I use:
Fixed risk per trade (1-2%)
Position sizing based on volatility
Trailing stops when the trade moves in my favor
A big realization? You don’t need to win every trade—you just need to manage losses better than you celebrate wins.
Emotional Control: Learning When NOT to Trade
I used to trade on FOMO and revenge—bad combo. These days, if I’m emotional, tired, or feeling "trigger-happy," I walk away.
I journal every trade, not just for record-keeping, but to understand why I took it:
Was it based on a system?
Was I overconfident?
Was the setup rushed?
This emotional journaling helps me learn from losses and detach from the outcome.
Realistic Lessons I’ve Learned (The Hard Way)
1. The market owes you nothing.
There’s no such thing as a “guaranteed breakout.” Always assume you’re wrong first. That humility keeps you safe.
2. Green days are made on red days.
Sounds strange? What I mean is: how you handle losses determines if you’ll survive long enough to win.
3. Do not marry your bags.
I’ve let a few trades turn into long-term investments just because I refused to sell a losing position. It’s a rookie mistake. Kill your darlings.
4. Cutting early profits feels wrong—but often is right.
Taking 20% profit is never a mistake. Waiting for 100% without plan usually ends in regret.
5. Ignore Twitter traders during high-volatility days.
Everyone is a genius in hindsight. Trust your setup, not the noise.
Tips for Traders Trying to Find Their Edge.
✅ Build your strategy, not someone else’s.
You can learn from mentors, but you have to adapt it to your risk tolerance and mindset. What works for someone scalping on a $1M account won’t work on your $500 balance—and that’s okay.
✅ Focus on one or two pairs or tokens.
I mostly trade top-volume assets like ETH, SOL, or BTC pairs. Learn their behavior. It’s better than hopping around.
✅ Time your trades around volume.
Volume spikes around market opens, news events, and breakouts. Entering during low volume can trap you in chop zones.
✅ Use alerts, not emotions.
Set price alerts instead of staring at screens. Let the market come to you.
✅ Don’t fear stablecoins.
Sometimes the best position is being out of the market, sitting in stables, and planning the next entry.
My Final Word: It’s Not About Winning, It’s About Surviving
The best traders aren’t the ones who win every day—they’re the ones who stick around. I’ve seen too many disappear after one bad leverage play or chasing a pump that went wrong.
Trading is a skill, a mindset, and an exercise in self-discipline. It’s more mental than analytical. The charts are just a reflection of what traders like us feel. Master your mind, and the market will feel a little less chaotic.
So here’s my mantra:
“React, don’t predict. Manage, don’t hope. Trade the plan, not the dream.”
What will make you apart from others is your hard work and those sleepless nights that you will give for making your own plans and strategy and being updated. Remember you only need 1 solid boom and you'll never work again.
All the Best to all my traders family.
