🔻Earn money within your understanding
Don't wake up, look at the market, and think how good it would have been to go long last night or how good it would have been to go short last night.
That is not money within your understanding; even if you occasionally make it, you will give it back next time.
For ETH, wait for 2550 to set up a short; in the middle range, hold back and don't think about 2000 if it drops a bit, or 3000 if it rises a bit.
It's good to use risk-reward ratios when placing orders, but don't look at a 5-minute chart to target several hundred points in profit, while leaving less than 10 points for stop loss and setting take profit at several hundred points.
Especially since ETH has large fluctuations, you should ideally short above 2500 for cost-effectiveness; below 2500, you're likely to be ground down in back-and-forth movements.
Sell high, buy low, and don't trade in the middle range.
