ETH 4-hour naked candlestick practical trading checklist (apply directly)
I. Long-side standard entry (primary focus)
Entry range: 1890-1900
Confirmation signals: 4-hour candlestick closes as a hammer, morning star; long lower wick; volume slightly increases
Position size: within 4% of total funds per trade; leverage 3-5x
Stop-loss level: 1868 (if it breaks down, exit immediately; do not hold through the loss)
Take-profit in stages
First take-profit 1960: close half the position; move stop-loss up to breakeven at the entry price
Second take-profit 2000: close the remaining position
Breakout above 2000 add-on rule: on a pullback to 1980 stabilizing/holding, add to the position lightly; stop-loss 1960; target 2050
II. Short-side contest entry (only short from high; do not catch falling)
Entry range: 1980-2000
Confirmation signals: 4-hour long upper wicks, evening star; price spikes then成交量/volume shrinks
Position size: within 3% of total funds per trade; leverage capped at 3x
Stop-loss level: 2022
Take-profit in stages
First take-profit 1920: cut the position by half
Second take-profit 1880: exit all positions
III. Range trading: sell high buy low (1900-1960)
Buy at the lower band near 1900; stop-loss 1880; take-profit 1955
Sell/short near the upper band at 1960 after resistance; stop-loss 1982; take-profit 1905
For the ranging market, leverage unified at 2x; no heavy positions
IV. Hard risk-control rules (win-win core)
1. Single-trade maximum loss must not exceed 2% of total account funds
2. After two consecutive losing trades, immediately cut the position size in half and pause trading for 1 hour to reset mindset
3. Hold overnight: pay attention to funding rates; do not hold long positions for a long time with negative funding
4. If MACD shows top/bottom bearish divergence, abandon opening new positions and wait for a pullback to repair
5. If it breaks below 1870, immediately give up all long ideas and switch to a short thesis
6. All trades must set a stop-loss in advance; never open a position without a stop-loss
