Why do I only use a 15-minute cycle? It made me doubt life while flipping my account!
Many people trading cryptocurrencies like to focus on 1-minute or 5-minute charts, resulting in chaotic signals, being tricked by noise, frequent entries and exits, and an extremely high liquidation rate.
However, I later realized: the 15-minute chart is the golden rhythm for flipping accounts!
It has three benefits:
1· Just the right trading frequency
Daily signals are moderate, with a pace that is neither rushed nor slow. It won't be as chaotic as a 1-minute chart, nor will it be as sluggish as a daily chart, missing out on opportunities.
2· Perfect balance for intraday trading
15 minutes is sensitive enough to catch market turning points; yet clean enough to avoid total chaos. EUR/USD and GBP/USD fluctuate abundantly in this cycle, and those wanting to enter and exit quickly can definitely profit significantly from it.
3· More accurate indicators, better usability
MACD, EMA, MA, RSI signals are clearer on the 15-minute chart, not erratic and not significantly lagging. In simple terms: it is the most controllable battlefield for intraday traders!
Core: Three-dimensional resonance, hitting the target without fail!
As long as the three directions are consistent, the win rate skyrockets!
Technical framework combination: EMA20, EMA60, EMA120 → Determine short-term, medium-term, and long-term trends
MA20, MA60, MA120 → Smooth the trend, prevent false signals
MACD (12,26,9) → Momentum changes, confirm trend strength
15-minute candlestick → Breakouts, patterns, platform support/resistance levels
EMA is responsible for sensitivity, MA for stability; the overlap of both can filter out most false breakouts.
Entry logic (bullish case):
1· EMA20 crosses above EMA60 → Short-term trend initiates, trend arrangement strengthens
2· MA20 rises simultaneously and moves away from EMA60 → Proves that the trend is not a false move, but a real strong upward movement
3· MACD golden cross + red bars continuously expanding → Sufficient momentum, trend has continuity
When this "three-dimensional resonance" appears, it is the optimal buying point!
Special reminder: Divergence signals at tops and bottoms
Divergence during strong uptrends → Just a "breather," recklessly shorting can easily get crushed!
Divergence in fatigue/oscillation phases → Reversal signals, very strong warning effect! Especially when MACD diverges with RSI and candlestick patterns simultaneously, the more signals, the greater the probability of trend reversal.
Remember: Divergence = the market is brewing a major turning point!
