**Core Strategy:**
- **Trade liquid assets:** Focus on top 10 cryptos (BTC, ETH, SOL) with high volume to avoid slippage.
- **Use technical analysis:** Ride short-term trends using 5-min/15-min charts. Key tools:
- EMA crossovers (e.g., 9 EMA > 20 EMA = buy signal)
- RSI oversold (<30) / overbought (>70) reversals
- Support/resistance breakouts (e.g., BTC breaking $63K resistance)
- **Set strict rules:**
- **Risk per trade:** ≤1% of capital.
- **Profit target:** 1.5-3x risk (e.g., risk $10 → take profit at $15-$30 gain).
- **Stop-loss:** Always use it (e.g., -1% below entry).
**Key Tactics:**
- **Scalp volatility:** Capture 0.5-2% moves during high-volume events (e.g., Fed announcements, ETF inflows).
- **Fade extremes:** Short overbought pumps (RSI >70 + rejection candle); buy oversold dips (RSI <30 + support bounce).
- **Track funding rates:** In futures, avoid longs if rates turn heavily negative.
**⚠️ Critical Risks:**
- Overtrading (≥10 trades/day → higher fees + emotional errors)
- Ignoring Bitcoin’s dominance (if BTC dumps, 90% alts follow)
- Liquidation from leverage (keep ≤5x on volatile pairs)
**Pro Tip:** Test strategies in Binance’s futures **demo mode** first. Most day traders lose money—discipline is everything.
