In my understanding, a gambler is a person who cannot restrain themselves from random trades. This is a trader who has undergone training (or self-taught), created their profitable trading system, but continues to deplete deposit after deposit because they cannot adhere to their own rules. For every good systematic trade made by such a person, there are several random trades that eat away all the profit from
It doesn’t matter if you are a scalper or an intraday trader, it is essential to understand one of the most important rules of successful trading: you can only make money on active coins that are of interest to the market. You can identify such a coin by 3 criteria: 1. Increased relative volume. The key word here is 'relative'. This means that the daily volume should increase 3 times or more compared to the volume at which the coin is usually traded. As a rule, an increase in volume is accompanied by a strong rise or fall in price. Such coins are easy to find in any screener or even on the exchange itself by sorting coins by growth and decline.
The coin looks a bit tired on its long run, and there aren’t many chances that we will hold the current local uptrend and continue higher.
But on the other hand, it’s a very good graphical spot to open a long position with a short, clear stop of about 2%, and an upside potential of about 10% growth, at minimum. That means the risk/reward ratio for this trade will be very good—roughly 1:5.
So, I’ll be working this with the stop at 1200. Targets—within the 1340–1370 range.
In this breakdown of the short-term trend, almost all the traders I know were already looking into it—this setup looks extremely solid.
This is a top South Korean company (a memory manufacturer) with exclusive contracts for many years ahead. According to most of the analysts I follow, it’s currently trading at a good discount. My average entry came out to about 1200.
If the price corrects into the 1200–1300 zone, I’ll add to my position and move the stop higher—to around 1130.
$UAI The coin is interesting because it is currently trading at historical highs, with both volume and open interest increasing.
Chart-wise, there’s a decent setup for a continuation of the uptrend: price knocked out the long positions with a sharp move and quickly returned back into the triangle. Statistically, this kind of pattern more often plays out as a continuation of the trend.
So I will be building the position in small parts from the current level down to about 0.7. Stop-loss at 0.67. Take-profits—after a breakout of the round number 1.
$DASH They broke the local short-term trend pretty technically and started rounding upward. And overall the coin looks long, volumes are higher, and open interest is high.
I entered with a stop below 61. I’ll take profit around 100.
$ZEC The price is trying to break out a long-trend trend for the third time already, but so far unsuccessfully. If the buyers manage to push the price past the "inclination" level, then on its retest a super-precise entry point will appear with a short SL continuing the uptrend.
The coin is still without volumes, but very technically broke the local short-term trend, retested it, and also very technically started to rise.
Therefore, I’ll try to open a position in continuation of the trend—from the current level to the "incline" with an obvious stop loss beyond the round number 0.8.
$NEAR Active traded up a cascade of powerful daily long levels. I will be building a position on their breakout.
With a small volume, I entered right from the current price with a stop at 2.1. If we form a breakout setup under the highs, I’ll be adding directly into the impulse.
They squeezed the price into a very tight consolidation at the highs, with clear boundaries. According to statistics, this kind of formation more often plays out as a continuation of the trend—meaning in longs.
The issue is that there are no clear long levels here that you could enter on their breakout with a tight stop and pull out a big move. Entering from the lower boundary is also risky, since the third attempt is more likely to break through than to produce a rebound.
So, for ETH for now the plan is this: wait for the long positions to get squeezed out with a “shorts with a stick” move of about 3–5%, followed by a quick return back into the channel. If that happens, there will be a great entry point from a retest of the lower boundary of the channel—with a very tight SL and an excellent risk/reward ratio.
From 0.16 it was very briskly bought back already 3 times. Therefore, there is a fairly good chance that this level will hold and that a strong bounce will follow from it. I entered directly from the current level with a stop right after 0.16. I plan to take profit around 0.22.
The risk/reward ratio in the trade is about 1:4, which is fine.
$ZEC The main highlight of last week - the coin performed a bunch of fantastically technical breakouts that scalpers haven't seen since 2022. All you had to do was not be afraid to pump in volume. Whoever didn’t get scared ended up x1’d the account. I was throwing at the breakout a maximum of 3x leverage—I didn’t believe it would be such a free-for-all. But still, the week turned out to be the most profitable of this year.
Right now, the price has hit a trend line, and there may be two scenarios here: first—we bounce off and go for a new high; second—we break through this "slant," establish ourselves below it, and head into a deep correction somewhere below 900.
On a small volume, I’ll try to participate in both scenarios. Right now I entered the bounce from the trend line with a very tight stop: if we break through it, I’ll exit right away with a micro-loss. If we confidently break through and start trading below it, I’ll look for short entry points—for example, on a retest of the same trend line.
$牛来 In my opinion, this will be an excellent deal: entry around 0.08 with a stop at 0.079. Take-profit targets around 0.2. The risk/reward ratio looks great.
Open interest in the coin is growing, there are attractive long levels, which are also the historical high on Binance. All the conditions for good growth.
$FLOCK The coin rose 75% in an hour yesterday, corrected, and moved sideways. Considering that the asset had been in accumulation for more than half a year, and also that open interest is not falling, the token has good prospects to continue its upward move.
There are no entry points on the chart right now. For now, I am waiting for a breakout of the local levels around 0.058. If the price breaks through these levels and starts consolidating above them, there will be an excellent entry point on a retest of these local levels - with a very short stop loss and an awesome risk/reward ratio.
$ENA From the history, it is clear that the coin handles trend lines technically well, so it would not be foolish to add to a position here with a clear stop at 0.153 and targets in the 0.2-0.21 range.
The coin broke the short-term downtrend and has reached the level around the round number 0.09. If it shows a good consolidation/„chop“ under the level for about 5 hours, you’ll get a decent breakout setup.
I’ll enter directly at the level with an increased stop, since there isn’t much volume in the coin—it may move only after a split.
$1000PEPE Coin has drawn the first support levels after the correction. It turns out to be a pretty good point to continue the uptrend with an excellent risk/reward ratio.
$ZEC Look how skillfully the coin is executing the trend (slanted levels). Right now, the direct route is into a breakout of 900.
I’ll build the position in parts starting from the current price down to a retest of the slanted level, roughly up to 825. Stop—below 820.
Exits: I’ll close half of the position immediately on the impulse after the levels break. The remaining part—I’ll close in micro-lots as the asset rises.
$ARB We sent in the money; volumes are in, there are bursts of activity in the order book, and we did pretty well breaking the local highs—almost 5%.
Right now, the price is consolidating above these levels, which indicates good prospects for further growth.
I’ll try to enter on a breakout to new highs; then we’ll see based on the situation. A lot will depend on BTC. If the “father” keeps bleeding out, it will drag the entire market with it, including the coins in the game. If it gives a bounce, then $ARB may go into a surge. The nearest target is 0.15.
$USELESS The coin is currently trying to break through strong daily levels. If it breaks and starts trading above the round 0.15, it will be possible to look for an entry to continue the uptrend.
