Day trading is like surfing in a storm: you can't control the wave, but you can ride it.
My strategy is simple and strict:
1. Trading with the trend — I never go against the flow.
2. Levels and volumes — I draw demand/supply zones and watch the cluster.
3. Timeframes M5–M15 — I catch impulses, exit strictly at take profit or stop loss.
4. Trade filter — no more than 3 trades a day, no more than 1% risk per trade.
5. News? — I don't enter at that time. Period. Volatility is the enemy of short-term trading.
I work with BTC/ETH, sometimes I enter alts ($SOL, $LINK) if I see a spike in volume and a pattern.
The main secret — don't chase everything. Had a bad day? Closed the terminal, went for a walk.
