Gm friends, what a vibrant day today.
Couldn't sleep, got up early to take the high-speed train 🚅 to have some fun.
But I need to update first before I can relax!
Following yesterday's surprise, I originally wanted to write an article:
In the Vegas range + Stoch RSI, how to make waves in a sideways market.
Later I suddenly realized:
👉 Isn't this against my trading principle of not opening positions on weekends?
The sideways market range on weekends is indeed small and stable.
The win rate is indeed high,
But it's hard to resist not looking at the charts on weekends.
Why do I still force myself to keep an eye on the K-line?
So today, let's simply change our perspective.
Talking about weekend fluctuating markets,
How I approach the matter of ‘high selling and low buying’
Handled by the grid strategy.
One, Stoch RSI is very useful in fluctuating intervals 📊
If a market trend has been confirmed as a fluctuating structure,
The practical win rate of Stoch RSI is indeed not low.
See image P1 (BTC · 15min) 📉
This trend roughly started from last Saturday, until about 8:00 on Monday morning
Market characteristics are very 'Weekend-like' 👇
The upper side is tightly suppressed by the bearish trend line 95500 ⛔
Only 500–600 points of activity space below
Repeatedly sweeping up and down in two days, but never breaking out of the trend
That is to say, can't rise or move at all,
Can't fall deeply either,
Specifically tormenting those who want to chase trends 😅
In this structure:
Use Stoch RSI for high selling and low buying within the range
Theoretically can achieve ultra-high win rates
And it basically won't get stuck
Specifically manifested as (marked with red arrows)
In P1, Stoch RSI every time at the top or bottom
Correspondingly going for high selling and low buying
It's highly likely that it can be profitable
The most important thing is if the momentum is not sufficient
Also basically won’t get stuck
Those interested can review those two days themselves,
Or flip through the K-line trends of other weekends,
Basically all are similar 'Emotional Oscillation Structures'.
Two, let’s briefly popularize: What is Stoch RSI? 🧩
Some people treat Stoch RSI as esoteric knowledge,
But it is actually a very 'Emotional' indicator.
So what is the difference between it and RSI?
RSI: Measures price relative to its own fluctuations,
Determining whether it's ‘Overbought / Oversold’
Stochastic (Random Indicator):
Measuring the current state within the recent range
The combination of the two represents
👉 Stoch RSI = Relative Position of RSI
It’s not looking at the price itself, but at whether market sentiment is in 'Extreme Range'.
For players more immersed in market trading
Observing reveals an interesting phenomenon:
In trending markets, it often 'Fails'
But in fluctuating markets,
It actually works exceptionally well
Because fluctuations are emotions oscillating back and forth within a limited range.
Three, since Stoch RSI is a gem on weekends, why don't I manually trade on weekends? 🤔
Firstly, it’s definitely not that you can't capture trends and profit
But doesn’t want to keep staring at those little fluctuations
Weekend trading relies not on technology, but on experience.
Because it requires not only watching the market but also observing TV signals
Although it has eliminated the manual ordering step
(AI strategies can execute automatically)
But that also requires manual profit-taking (human verification)
Additionally, it is necessary to prevent false breakouts
Or a truly sudden trend might ambush you
To put it bluntly, I've also stated it clearly
You are here to trade,
Still here working for K-line? 😂
This is also why,
I prefer to share a lot of content,
Record observations of paired market structures and trading methods.
So! I’m starting to lean towards one choice:
👉 If it is already confirmed as a fluctuating structure,
So why not use grids?
Four, what exactly is grid trading? Don’t criticize it if you don’t understand it 🤖
Some people hear 'grid', and the first thing that comes to mind is:
❌ Mindless Orders
❌ Exchange Advertisement
❌ Exclusively Targeting Novices
But to be honest, most of these losses are not actually issues with the grid,
But it’s about using the wrong scenario!
Defining grid trading in one sentence:
👉 Within a known fluctuating range,
Automatically helping you repeatedly execute the ‘buy low and sell high’ strategy.
What you are originally doing manually:
Staring at the red and green K-lines of exchanges
Buy a little when it falls
Sell a little when it rises
Inevitably, there will be omissions and rest periods
Then the grid can
👉 Helps you execute high selling and low buying 24 hours a day, without emotions.
Five, why is the lack of a trend actually the biggest advantage of grids? 🧱
Trending markets are the easiest times for grids to lose money
And the common characteristic of weekend market trends is —
No institutional backing
Decreased liquidity
Market trends are more about emotional games
That means without trends it just keeps grinding people down
This is hell for trend chasers,
But for grids, it’s rather a paradise 🌈.
Six, Stoch RSI and Grids are actually a 'Partnership' 🤝
There are no conflicts, and the division of labor is clear:
Stoch RSI helps you confirm
‘Is this a Fluctuating Market?’
Grid strategies help you execute
‘Arbitraging Repeatedly in Fluctuations’
That is to say, Stoch RSI helps you choose the battlefield,
Grids help you fight battles.
In the right battlefield, using the right tool can yield substantial returns～
Seven, the last question that must be clear ⚠️
How to handle trend markets encountered on weekends
It’s obvious that grids are not meant to withstand trends head-on.
Once ambushed by the second battalion’s artillery
For example, effective breakthroughs of the range on the hourly level
Trading volume has obviously increased
Whether up or down, haha
All represent the original fluctuating structure being damaged
At this moment, the strategy's execution should stop immediately
Or reassess whether the confidence score is executable
Because grids profit from fluctuating markets,
Not money betting on direction.
So in weekend markets
Those who can do high selling and low buying in fluctuations can all make money
And it's not too difficult, but requires considerable energy
Those who understand to delegate execution rights to strategies,
Are what allow you to make money easily!
By the way, remember to set TV price alerts!!!
You can take your eyes off the market, but you can't play on your phone
Didn’t notice if a trend market sends you alerts
If you didn’t see it and didn’t respond – don’t wait until it's too late to regret
I will continue to record some irregularly
Observation of market structure,
Choices among different trading methods,
And thoughts during the actual trading process.
