I am a full-time cryptocurrency trader, supporting my family through trading, currently with a stable monthly income in the seven figures and an annual income in the eight figures.
Just because I did these three things right: (suitable for everyone)
First, quickly accumulate small funds into large funds (suitable for those with little capital, between 1000 and 100000)
Use 1000 yuan to roll over contracts and quickly accumulate to earn 100000! (It takes about 1 to 3 months)
In the cryptocurrency world, 1000 yuan is about 140 USD!
Optimal solution strategy recommendation: contracts
Each time use 30 USD to speculate on hot coins, do a good job of taking profits and cutting losses: 100 to 200, 200 to 400, 400 to 800. Remember a maximum of three times! Because trading in cryptocurrency requires a bit of luck, each time betting like this, it's easy to win 9 times, but lose once! If you clear three levels with 100, then your capital will reach 1100 USD!
It is recommended to use a triple strategy at this time
Make two types of orders a day, ultra-short orders and strategic orders, and then go for trend orders if the opportunity arises.
Ultra-short orders are used for quick attacks and quick attacks. Advantages of 15-minute orders: high returns Disadvantages: high risks
Only do big pancakes at the level of the concubine
The second type of order is the strategic order, which is to use a small position, such as 10 times 15u, to trade at the four-hour level. The profit is saved and then invested in the big pie every week.
The third type is trend trading. For medium and long-term trading, go directly to the market when you see the opportunity. Advantages: more profit
Find the right point and set a relatively cost-effective profit and loss ratio
This method is also one I've personally tested: from February to March 2025, in just one month, I made 100,000 yuan from 5,000 yuan! The profit ratio reached 2108.17%!
My life now:
Driving a luxury car, dating girls, living in a luxury house. I saw the newbies in the group talking about which one to buy, how many times to open, and occasionally showing a screenshot of their earnings.
The assets in several accounts are tens of millions, which will be envied by newcomers in the cryptocurrency circle.
When going out, he must stay in a high-end hotel costing around 2,000 yuan, and his suitcases and hats may have cryptocurrency symbols on them.
It is much more comfortable than the older generation who work in industry or the post-80s who work in e-commerce.
I have hardly ever had any business dealings that involved arguing with people, so it was a lot less stressful.
If you spend 1 million yuan a year, after four years, your assets will have increased by 5-10 times. How does it feel to spend more and more? It's like the protagonist in the movie "The Richest Tomato".
I'm in Beijing today, in Hainan tomorrow, in Xiamen the day after tomorrow, and may go to Bali the day after that.
Go wherever you want. Wherever there is a concert, you can fly there in no time.
Wherever there is something fun and new, I go and have fun when I’m in a good mood. When I’m in a bad mood, I play games, play golf, and ask girls to shoot a video. This is my daily routine.
Having money is an extremely happy thing. Please forgive my vulgar wording, but I can say that as long as you have money, you will feel that the world belongs to you.
Your heart will become kind, tolerant, and calm. You will suddenly let go of things that you usually care about and will hardly take them to heart. You will become very humble and will not mind what others say.
You feel like you are another form of life. Your way of looking at the world, looking at people, people and things, and the relationship between people and the world are completely different from others. When you reach this level, there is nothing you can't see through.
The only thing that can make you suffer is illness, nothing else.
You will never be sad because others say something about you, and you will not be upset because your girlfriend wants to quarrel with you.
You will never be upset by emotional problems, nor will you worry about next month's mortgage or job prospects.
I am not advocating money worship, I am just talking about the mentality of rich people in the cryptocurrency circle. Being rich in the cryptocurrency circle is different from other states of being rich.
Next, I will introduce two position management methods!
1. Left side position management
1) Don’t use up all your stocks at once, buy in batches!!!
2) You can divide your funds into several parts. When you are unsure about the bottom, buying in batches is the most appropriate way to spread the cost price!!!
(3) The bottom-up replenishment should be handled flexibly according to the changes in market conditions. Do not replenish the position too frequently, as this will have a negative impact on the averaging effect of the currency price. The advance of 20%, 30%, and 50% is suitable for aggressive investors who are keen on bottom-fishing! ! !
(4) Initially enter the market with a relatively small amount of capital, buy the currency, and if the price does not rise and continues to fall, gradually increase the position in the future market, and the increase in position proportion will become larger and larger, thereby diluting the cost. This method has a relatively small initial risk, and the higher the funnel, the more substantial the profit! !
2. Right side position management
(1) Buy 1: When the 5-day moving average crosses the 10-day moving average, add 30% to your position! !
(2) Buy 2: When the price of the currency effectively breaks through the lifeline, continue to add 30% of the position when it falls back to the lifeline to ensure that the total position reaches 60% in the initial stage of the upward trend!
(3) Buy 3: If the price breaks through the neckline or other important resistance level and then retraces and stabilizes, it indicates that a reversal upward trend has been established. Add another 20% to your position. The total position should reach 80%. Hold the coins and wait for the price to rise!
(4) Buy 4: The 5-day moving average and the 10-day moving average form a golden cross again when the price of the currency is above the lifeline. This is a typical signal of accelerating the rise. At this time, the remaining 20% of the position should also be bought in time to maximize the profit! ! !
Even elementary school students can learn this method, and by following it, they can outperform 90% of the leeks.
1. Tips for choosing coins (avoiding 99% of pitfalls)
Look for recent strong coins and filter for the "Top 50 Gainers in the Past 11 Days." If you see a coin that's been falling for three consecutive days, just cross it out! This could be a scam by market makers pumping prices and selling.
At the monthly level, open the monthly chart and focus only on coins showing the "golden finger" signal—a coin with a strong probability of a major rally when the MACD lines cross upward from the bottom. For daily charts, focus on the 60-day moving average. When the price retraces near this line and a large bullish candlestick with high volume (volume at least 1.2 times the average of the previous five days) appears, this is the optimal buying opportunity.
2. Buying and selling tips (three life-saving rules) For example, confirming the buying point: BNB is currently priced at $280, and the 60-day moving average is at 260. When the price drops to 265 and suddenly rises with large volume, enter immediately!
Step profit-taking method: take out 1/3 when the price rises by 30%, take out another 1/3 when the price rises by 50%, and keep the remaining 1/3 forever (unless it falls below the lifeline)
Life-saving trick: After buying, as soon as the closing price falls below the 60-day moving average, immediately sell out! Remember, it is the closing price, not the spike price, and the confirmation is at 12:00 am.
3. Pitfall Prevention Guide (Experienced by Veterans)
Don't buy altcoins ranked outside the top 100 by market capitalization, don't buy coins with a 24-hour trading volume of less than 10 million, and don't buy projects that haven't been active for three months. Pause trading in the following situations: Bitcoin suddenly rises or falls by more than 10%, the US announces an interest rate hike, or there are rumors of exchange downtime.
The secret to position control: Divide the rice into 10 parts and buy only 1 part at a time. Always keep 30%, and you will be the boss when the market plummets!
4. Mental training (the key to making money) Set up automatic reminders on T...w
Set a price warning (60-day line ± 3%) and wait for the "ding" sound before taking action to avoid rash transactions.
Spend 5 minutes every night at 10 pm to check: Is the position above the 60-day moving average? Is Bitcoin fluctuating sideways? Is there any breaking news?
Reverse operation tips: When everyone in the group is shouting "all-in", immediately sell 1/3 of your position; when the group is as quiet as a chicken, prepare to buy at the bottom!
Remember: This method is like cruise control in your car; it'll get you to your destination safely. But in a downpour (or extreme market conditions), you must take the wheel yourself! Put it into practice now, and you'll thank me next month.
My cryptocurrency trading method is very simple and practical. It took me only one year to reach eight figures. I only enter the market when I see the right opportunity and never trade without a trend. I have maintained a winning rate of over 90% for five years!
I have used 90% of the indicators on the market, but I only love this set of cryptocurrency trading technology. It is always victorious and worth deep learning and collection (suitable for everyone)
Although not as widely known in price action trading, the inside bar trading technique continues to attract more and more traders.
If you haven’t heard of the inside line yet, read on.
If you already know about this candlestick pattern, I still recommend you to continue reading this article as you may find other valuable things about the inside bar.
What is the inner line?
As price action traders, we need to learn how to use candlestick patterns like the inside candlestick correctly.
What is the inner line?
As shown in the chart above, the inside candlestick is the opposite of the bullish/bearish engulfing pattern. The first candlestick completely engulfs the second candlestick.
Depending on where it forms, it can be a trend continuation pattern or a reversal pattern. This is where traders fail to recognize the power of this candlestick pattern.
If used correctly, inside bars can be a very powerful tool for finding trade entries.
Variations of the inside line
There are almost as many inside bar variations as there are days in a year.
In other words, inside candlestick patterns come in all shapes and sizes, but the definition is always the same – the first candlestick completely engulfs the second. Here are a few variations:
Even though these candlestick patterns look different, they all have one thing in common: the first candlestick always completely engulfs the second!
Once you remember this rule, you will look at inside bar patterns differently.
All of these variations confirm one thing: the price is consolidating while attracting more attention from buyers or sellers, depending on the market environment.
If the above information still confuses you, keep reading because by the end of this article, you’ll be able to identify inside candlesticks in a sea of candlesticks and (hopefully) profit from them!
Inside Bar as a Trend Continuation Pattern
Let's first consider the inside bar candlestick pattern as a trend continuation candlestick pattern. To consider the inside bar candlestick pattern as a trend continuation pattern, the following conditions need to be met:
1. There is a clear trend (either bullish or bearish)
2. Not approaching major support/resistance levels
Once these two conditions are met and an inside bar forms, we have a potential trade entry. Let's look at a few examples of inside bar patterns as trend continuation patterns within a defined trend.
The above chart shows the USDCAD currency pair, where a candlestick pattern appears in the middle of a trading range. In this case, the inside bar trading strategy would be as follows:
1. Wait for the daily closing
2. Check if the high and low of the second candlestick are within the range of the first candlestick
Once these two conditions are met, most inside bar traders will initiate a long position at the open of the next trading day.
Now let’s look at another example of a trend continuation pattern and how to trade the inside bar.
I selected the daily chart of DAX.
As can be seen from the above figure, the inner line is formed three times.
If the above conditions are met and a long position is established, every performance of the inside candlestick pattern will be very effective.
Next, let’s look at reversal patterns and how to trade inside bars.
Inside Bar as a Reversal Pattern
Trading inside bar candlesticks is a complex strategy.
The reason for this is that many traders often misjudge whether they should interpret the inside bar as a trend continuation pattern or a reversal pattern?
I have already outlined my trading rules for inside bars as trend continuation patterns. Here, I will explain how I use inside bars in reversal situations.
Look at the image below and try to come up with your own interpretation.
As a reversal pattern, the inside line should meet the following conditions:
1. Major support or resistance areas
2. Inside candlestick formed near a major level
As can be seen in the above chart, an inside bar formed at the main resistance level on the daily chart.
After the close of this candlestick, the price quickly reversed and began a sharp decline. This pattern appeared on February 2, 2018, almost at the top of the EURUSD.
The pair has been declining ever since. Now let's look at another example:
In the above chart, an inside candlestick formed at a major support level. This was followed by a bullish engulfing pattern, with prices rapidly rising.
Trading the inside bar pattern is just as effective as any other candlestick pattern. That is why I use it as part of a trading system whenever I do.
Often, there are a lot of things you need to consider before you can place a trade. Using price action is simple, but it also requires you to look at different time frames for confirmation and observe the overall market conditions.
Inside Bar Trading – Trend Continuation and Reversal Summary
To summarize the inside bar trade, let’s look at the following image and try to visualize it for better memorization:
A) Reversal – When price reaches a major support or resistance level (as shown in the two charts below), and an inside candlestick forms at those levels, the price will reverse.
Try to remember these scenarios to better understand how to profit from inside bars.
B) Trend Continuation – When we have a clear trend and the price forms an inside bar in the middle of the range, it means that the inside bar is confirming the trend continuation tendency. Check out the two charts below:
First, let’s look at what happens in an uptrend…
…and then there’s the situation during a downtrend.
Once you realize that inside bars can be used for both trend trading and range trading, you can fully understand their power.
It is probably one of the least discussed candlestick patterns and also one of the most underrated and least understood.
Inside Bar Trading Strategy and Time Frames
When trading inside bars, I can confirm that traders use it on all time frames.
Important: From my experience it works best on time frames above 4 hours.
Generally speaking, the higher the time frame, the less noise there is.
Therefore, I believe the most useful time frames are the 4-hour and daily charts, which I use myself.
My trading strategy reveals a method for using multiple timeframe resonances. I have found this to be perhaps the most useful and consistent method for trading the markets. Inside bars are no exception!
Inside Line and Stop Loss
See the chart below. This is an AUDUSD chart from July 10, 2017. An inside bar forms in the middle of a trading range during a bull market and is considered a trend continuation pattern.
Now, let's zoom in and look at the inside bar itself.
You can see that the second candlestick is completely contained by the first candlestick, creating an inside bar trading opportunity.
From the chart above, you can see the optimal placement for a stop loss. While there are no set rules, most traders tend to place their stop loss below the previous swing low.
In my experience, once an inside candlestick forms, we may see one final downward piercing on the next candlestick.
Remember: for inside candlesticks, you need to leave slightly more space than for normal candlestick patterns.
When you are unsure about the stop loss position at the inside band, consider setting it 10 points wider than the regular stop loss.
Specific circumstances may vary, but generally speaking, when an inside bar appears, the price is likely to retest the lows of the uptrend. See the chart below:
The above chart was taken on June 20, 2018, of the AUDUSD currency pair.
As mentioned above, when the inside bar forms, there is a high probability that the last penetration will occur (as shown in the above figure), so you must calculate a wider stop loss.
If your average stop loss is 10 pips below the most recent swing high/low, for an inside bar I would add an extra 10 pips to make it 20 pips below the low/high as a stop loss.
It's difficult to estimate the exact stop-loss placement, but with practice, you'll find a method that works for you. A stop-loss for EURUSD will be different from a stop-loss for GBPJPY. Therefore, you need to take these factors into consideration.
The application of inside line in volatile and trending markets
The best way to do this is to use examples to show both market types and how inside bar trading applies to them.
A) Volatile Market
As you can see from the chart above, we have 5 different inside bar trading opportunities.
The rules I use for trading inside bars in range-bound markets are very simple:
1. There must be a predefined interval
2. Only trade patterns close to support/resistance levels
From the above information, it can be seen that there are only two places where the inside line is tradable.
I’m sure you’ve guessed it – these are the inside bars marked 1 and 2.
Inside bars marked 3, 4, and 5 all formed in the middle of the trading range, so they are not tradable.
B) Trending Market
In the image above, you can see 8 consecutive inside bars.
To consider the inside bar as a trend continuation pattern, we need to meet two conditions:
1. A clear trend (upward or downward)
2. No major resistance/support levels nearby
As you can see from the chart above, only 1 of the 8 inside candlesticks failed. The inside candlestick marked 4 was not profitable, but the other 7 were profitable!
This is a staggering number that even the most talented traders sometimes struggle to achieve.
As I like to say, you shouldn't strive for perfection, but consistency. There is no perfect trader, and there is no holy grail of trading.
What you should pursue is hard work, focus and persistence!
Complex Inside Bar Candlestick Pattern
A) Bullish Hikkake Pattern
So what does the Hikkake pattern look like and how do we trade it?
First, let's look at a chart showing a bullish Hikkake:
The Bullish Hikkake candlestick pattern is similar to the Three Inside Bears candlestick pattern. The Bullish Hikkake candlestick pattern does not require a previous uptrend and the color of the candlestick is not important.
In theory it should be a bullish pattern, but practice has shown that in some cases it can be bearish.
(Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns) reveals that this pattern is twice as likely to result in a bullish breakout as a bearish breakout.
This brings us to the bearish Hikkake pattern.
B) Bearish Hikkake pattern
Similar to the bullish Hikkake pattern, the bearish Hikkake pattern looks like this:
Just like the bullish Hikkake candlestick pattern, the bearish Hikkake requires the price to close below the low of the second inside candlestick (marked by the black line in the image above).
I personally don’t think this pattern is as effective as a pure inside bar, but it is one of the lesser-known methods some traders use.
I am not saying that it cannot be a profitable trading strategy, I am simply confirming that I have not used it extensively and therefore cannot confirm its effectiveness.
According to Bulkowski's (Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns), it is a relatively common pattern.
Although I don't know many traders who use it, the encyclopedia confirms that it only works about 50% of the time.
The Psychology Behind Inside Bars
It is not difficult to imagine the behavior of market participants when an inside bar forms.
Let's imagine a daily chart.
It takes two days for the inner band to form.
A larger candlestick formed on the first day and a smaller candlestick formed on the second day, which looks like a consolidation phase on smaller time frames.
The above chart will help you visualize the price action on smaller timeframes. From a smaller timeframe perspective, the inside candlestick pattern looks like a consolidation phase.
This is indeed a consolidation phase, during which market participants are placing orders based on expectations of future price movements.
Therefore, the market psychology during the formation of the inside bar is one of waiting, which really creates suspense among traders who are trading the breakout.
As you may already be familiar with, I am not a big fan of breakout trading. The reason for this is that when trading breakouts, you are predicting future movements rather than interpreting the market.
In my experience, in most cases, predictions lead to self-destruction.
Summarize
Trading inside bars is not the most common method in price action trading.
At least, it’s not as popular as the pin bar trading technique or the bullish engulfing pattern.
Although not very popular, it can be a very powerful candlestick pattern, especially during market turning points or long-term trending markets.
It is not as easy to master as other popular candlestick patterns and is often misunderstood and misused, but if traded correctly it can lead to very satisfying results.
The inside bar candlestick pattern is often not given enough attention, but hopefully more traders will benefit from this article.
