#MyTradingStyle Buy the dip? There are many. Buy orders are placed in a staircase pattern along support lines — but only on part of the balance, because the market loves false breakouts. The same goes for hype: selling everything at once is a sin against probability. Maybe this is just the first stage of the rocket.
Liquidity is your friend and enemy. When trading popular pairs, it's important not to get stuck in a position, turning into a 'long-term investor'. The strength of momentum is key: if the volumes in the order book suddenly rise, and the price breaks through moving averages (for example, EMA 50/200), it means a big player has started the game.
Moving averages and volumes are a compass in chaos. If the price bounces off the EMA with high volume — it's a signal. However, if it breaks through without volume support — it's likely a false breakout.
Stops and breakeven are insurance against emotions. The recommended stop-loss is 1-3% of the deposit, and the breakeven is set when the price moves in your favor by at least 1.5-2% — this way you protect yourself from sudden pullbacks, but don’t get stopped out by noise.
Stair-step trading is the art of balancing between greed and discipline. Buy in parts, sell gradually — and keep an eye on where the big money flows. Otherwise, your 'strategic entry' might just be someone else's stop-loss?
