Everything you watch is just fluff. These are empty promises that will lead to absolutely nothing. I am here to give you a truly workable step-by-step plan—a complete guide on how to progress from $100 and become a consistently profitable trader,
Speaker A
specifically a scalper. In this video, you will learn which tools to use, how to best select coins for trading, what strategies exist and how to apply them, and which strategies are best for beginners to earn money in the long run.
Speaker A
How to properly enter and exit a position, what criteria are needed for this, how to calculate risk and money management correctly, and much, much more. And at the end of the video, I will share with you a full step-by-step
Speaker A
plan on what you need to do to progress. And finally, reach your cherished goal: earning money from trading. To start, we need to find out what scalping actually is. Scalping is, in fact, trading market inefficiencies. Be it the classic version of scalping or
Speaker A
something more unconventional. It is a series of market inefficiencies and imbalances that can be identified and traded using the order book plus the chart. Scalping is known for having many trades, but they are short, often lasting up to 10 minutes. In scalping,
Speaker A
you don't stay in a position for long. You enter, catch the move, and leave.
Speaker A
Let's talk about the principles that define the essence of scalping. First: short trades. Second: trading market inefficiencies. Third: using the chart and the order book together. Anything that doesn't use the order book is not scalping. Meaning, trading a raw
Speaker A
situation inside an exchange without a terminal is just. Also, another important plus. It doesn’t matter to us where the market is heading. It doesn’t matter if it’s rising or falling. While everyone else is panic-buying or selling, we trade
Speaker A
what we see. In the moment, the most important criterion for a scalper is volatility. Volatility determines literally everything. If there is volume in the market, if there is volume in the coin we are tracking, that is the main sign that we should
Speaker A
jump in and see what we can extract from it. And, of course, a huge number of opportunities. There are days when you go 1, 2, or 3 days without a single trade. But it also happens that in one
Speaker A
day you rake in massive amounts of money, and a huge number of situations can appear in a matter of hours that you see, understand, and know how to trade. So, scalping as a trading method helps you spot opportunities others
Speaker A
would never notice, because others blindly trade just the charts and indicators and don't know a damn thing else. We’ve learned the basic criteria for scalping, and now let’s find out who scalping is actually right for. The first thing is the desire to
Speaker A
get rich quick, to make money, to jump in, gamble it all, go all-in on leverage, and just blow it all to hell.
Speaker A
A guy who comes here with zero knowledge, someone who wants to start from scratch and puts in 100 bucks, needs to see that 100 dollars not as money to make a profit, but as money for training, for gaining skills, and
Speaker A
for development. The second thing is diligence and discipline. We have to be disciplined so we don't get into any stupid trades. Things like sports or discipline through small goals you set for yourself each day can help with this. The third point isn't as
Speaker A
important, but it's a huge plus for those meticulous people who love to dig into things, study, and draw things out. But I’ll tell you right now, it’s not that hard. The theoretical part—aside from the psychological side,
Speaker A
which is why most people lose their money—it’s not that complicated. And the fourth point is also very important, not just in scalping, but in life in general. Whatever you start doing, it has to be something you enjoy. You need to have a genuine interest
Speaker A
in this activity. That will motivate you a great deal. And the fifth thing is at least 2-3 hours of free time. You can combine it with a job; the progress might just take a little longer to show, but it will happen. And, of course,
Speaker A
if you have a hundred bucks in your pocket, all roads are open to you.
Speaker A
Welcome, welcome. This is the world of scalping. Now that we’ve figured out what scalping is, our task is to understand what we need to get started.
Speaker A
The first fundamental is understanding how to look for setups and what tools to use to do it. To find setups, we use TradingView or screeners. I personally use TradingView. To search for and select coins, you can use any exchange
Speaker A
or screeners. Go to the exchange and look at the coins that are in play, the ones that are rising or falling today.
Speaker A
They must have high volume, and they must be volatile. We can then monitor these coins graphically or add them to our terminal. And since we’re talking about terminals, here is the second point: the terminal. There is a huge
Speaker A
variety of terminals out there. They all have their pros and cons, but they all perform the same function: they show us what’s happening in the order book. Through them, we can work out in detail what we understand and what we
Speaker A
see with our own eyes. In the trading terminal, we can examine the tape of trades, capture market moves, trade volume clusters, breakouts of clusters, eating through clusters, and bounces off of them. Through the terminal, we determine entry points thanks to the
Speaker A
order book. That is all the terminal. This is a vital necessity that you must install for yourself. Next. An exchange or broker is what helps us receive cashback. First of all, cashback is very important. Just imagine how many
Speaker A
trades we process. There is a huge number of them. And for every trade—entering and exiting a position—we pay money. We pay that money to the exchange or broker. But by having cashback, we get that money back from
Speaker A
the commissions. And that is why I strongly recommend signing up under someone's referral, because trading without referrals will never be profitable for you. The most liquid tier-one exchanges are Binance, OKX, and Bybit. But on other exchanges, there are a huge number of
Speaker A
opportunities and inefficiencies that can also be exploited. The next thing is proxies. An important part. Without a proxy, you simply won't be physically able to trade market situations normally. You will frequently encounter lags and freezes, like in games, you
Speaker A
know, when you have high ping. And you will have high ping if you are in Europe, if you are in the CIS, it doesn't matter where. And a proxy is exactly what stabilizes this connection. That is why I focus on this topic the
Speaker A
most. If you are located somewhere in Asia, in Thailand, Japan, or Korea, in principle, you don't need a proxy. The servers are close by. In all other cases, install a proxy. There is no way around it. Since this is a very
Speaker A
important product, I will leave a link in the description to what I use and what I own. And I strongly recommend that you use it if you are a scalper.
Speaker A
It's Intouch Ping. A huge number of people are satisfied, loving it, enjoying it; everything works stably and well for them. Check it out, the link is in the description. When we have all four points, all that remains is screen recording. What is it needed
Speaker A
for? For analysis. This is a very important habit you must build right at the beginning when you are a beginner.
Speaker A
Every trade that you execute should be recorded. I use NVIDIA GeForce, but you can use OBS. It has a setting to record the last five minutes. With a keyboard shortcut, your monitor is constantly recording the screen and saving the
Speaker A
last 5 minutes of a trade so as not to clog up your memory. Every trade you execute is saved on your computer. It is very useful for analysis. And, of course, since we are talking about analysis, how can we do without a
Speaker A
trading journal? There are also several trading journals. This is very important for analyzing trades. Because tr
Speaker A
document, and record everything, as well as attach your own notes. This is important for progress and analysis.
Speaker A
You can't do without it. Now, let's dive deeper into how to find situations , how to find coins, and how to select these coins. I search for coins through Binance or other controlled exchanges that I can access. I will explain the
Speaker A
structure using Binance as an example. On the main Markets tab, we go to the Futures markets. A list of coins that have moved during the day and have daily volume opens up here. And we are interested in two tabs. These are the
Speaker A
24-hour change, which displays the top gainers and losers of the day, and the 24-hour volume change. That is, it shows us the top coins by volume for the day. Why these specific tabs?
Speaker A
Because as scalpers, we need to look for interesting situations. Situations where a coin acts independently. Most coins move very specifically. They have a correlation. Correlation is dominance in relation to Bitcoin. For example, a coin like XRP has a correlation of
Speaker A
about 90–95%. This means that 90–95 %of the movement it makes is driven by Bitcoin. Bitcoin goes up, XRP goes up.
Speaker A
And such coins, which have volume, even seemingly high volume, are not interesting to us. Why? Because these coins follow Bitcoin very closely. But there are exceptions, for example, ZEC/ USDT, which has grown very well recently. And it grew independently,
Speaker A
even though this coin is very strongly tied to Bitcoin. However Bitcoin moves, ZEC moves. But there is an important nuance here. A market participant appeared in it who made it independent.
Speaker A
They had targets for this coin. Also, the coin had key levels. Historical levels—this is a zone the coin had never entered in its life, and it broke through it. And such key zones strongly attract even these heavyweights.
Speaker A
Because of this, heavyweights can become independent for a while, which gives us an opportunity to trade them.
Speaker A
But overall, if we consider the daily situation, almost every day some " in-play" coins appear. An "in-play" coin is a coin in play that moves independently and has dominantly outperformed other coins during the day by a higher percentage, or dropped—it
Speaker A
doesn't matter. And the volume in such a coin might not be very large, but we will talk about that a bit later. And it is exactly these kinds of coins, that is, dominant coins that stand out in the market, that are our task to
Speaker A
find. Then we switch to TradingView and look for these coins inside TradingView . When we find these coins, a chart opens up in front of us. And within the chart, we look for situations that interest us. We look for graphical
Speaker A
situations, and we can also use a terminal to see what is happening in it and inside the order book. And this is how market analysis is performed. Now let's figure out which coin actually suits us. Here is an example of a good
Speaker A
coin for you. This is a coin that is growing, pumping, and providing a good, strong movement. It doesn't just tread water. It is not a dead coin. It is a coin with at least 200-300 million in volume. Even though that's small, since
Speaker A
it's growing, volume can only continue to flow into it. So even if it has 150-200 million, it means it can be ramped up in the process, volume will increase, growth will be greater, and the pump will be bigger. In other words
Speaker A
, a coin that is gaining volume is interesting to us, and, importantly, it must move qualitatively with high-quality candles. Quality candles and quality growth. On the chart, this looks like consolidation, breakout, consolidation, breakout, or something similar. That is, the coin should not
Speaker A
be manipulative. That would kill us and wouldn't allow us to earn in the classical sense of scalping. And such a coin can both grow and fall. Basically, for what is falling, just flip the chart, and it should be the same thing.
Speaker A
So there is a general criteria for a good coin: good candles, moves well, volatile, gains volume, non-manipulative. And here is an example of a crappy coin for you. We can notice that it is moving in consolidation, even though this coin
Speaker A
has grown a lot. This chart was not just picked at random. This is a coin that also grew upwards with a jagged motion, rose by about 60%in a day, got stuck in this local consolidation, and constantly gives off spikes,
Speaker A
manipulating up and down, leaving thin candles, buy-backs, and constantly doing this out of nowhere for no reason . Such coins are not worth trading; they are junk. Even if it seems like there is volume in it, even if it has
Speaker A
grown very strongly. Also, such coins have low volume. In general, low volume is not interesting to us. As a beginner , forget about it; forget about low volume. Meaning 50 million, 30 million —that's trash. Don't even look for
Speaker A
any situations there. You can make money on such coins if you are already a more or less advanced scalper. If manipulations occur within such coins in the order book, or some inefficiencies, it's too early for you to get involved; you'll just lose money
Speaker A
on such a coin. That's all. And remember the general definition. There is a good coin, and it is called a " coin in play." This is a slang term that you will repeatedly hear from traders and scalpers. Let's imagine we
Speaker A
found a good coin. We've selected everything. It's crisp, it's cool. Well , we need to add it to the terminal.
Speaker A
Without a terminal, we aren't scalpers, we're nobody; we're just some guy trading sticks. The terminal is the tool through which we trade, and as a scalper, we spend 90%of our life and time in it. Inside it, there are charts
Speaker A
, order books, and many terminals have built-in screeners, accounts, leverage, and you can adjust your position and make changes. So, it's our full-fledged workspace that we can customize however we want. The chart helps us analyze situations. The order book does too.
Speaker A
The order book shows in maximum detail what is happening inside the chart. That is, we see every single order. We can understand why such a large candle appeared or why it dumped. Because inside the order book there can be
Speaker A
participants, or on other exchanges there can be participants, who place large walls and pump or dump the coin very hard. And through the order book, we find entry points and exit points.
Speaker A
By the way, cashback and brokerage platforms. I will also leave all the exchanges I use in the description, so I can give you a referral link so you can sit back and get cashback. I use them. Now let's determine how to read
Speaker A
the order book. Inside the order book, there are walls, small and large. Next to these walls are quoted prices like 1.419, 1.430. And we see that at certain places there are large walls. A wall is a large limit order to buy or
Speaker A
sell, depending on which zone it is in, green or red. And it acts as a zone of resistance. That is, until the coin eats this wall, breaks through it, the coin will not move further. If there are walls, as we see here, yes, like
Speaker A
that 790,000 blue wall on top, it means the coin won't go up, that is, it won't grow further until it eats this wall.
Speaker A
Walls, as a rule, can hold back movement very strongly. The next thing I would pay attention to is the sell zone and the buy zone. This is the red and green zone. In the red zone are sellers, in the green zone are buyers.
Speaker A
It's all simple, all understandable. Likewise, we can notice that 790,000 is standing in the red zone. What does that mean? It means that some random person wants to sell 790,000 coins with a limit order. He wants to sell them,
Speaker A
perhaps exit a position, or maybe enter one. Nobody knows. Next. The spread. It's displayed a bit incorrectly here, but the spread is the clear green and red zone where these areas meet. The spread is the difference between the
Speaker A
best bid and ask. Simply put, it’s the current area where trading happens, where the coin is at this moment in time. Trading strategies. We have figured out literally everything. Now we need to understand how it all works and how you can make money. The first
Speaker A
trading strategy for a beginner, and likely the most suitable at the start, is the one I used to grow my first $ 10,000 from $ 100. It is the level breakout. For a long time, I traded only this, and I recommend everyone
Speaker A
start by trading only this. What is the essence of the strategy? The market moves cyclically and always creates accumulation zones. And these accumulation zones have zones of highs and zones of lows. These highs and lows have stop-losses placed beyond these
Speaker A
extremes. And these extremes are the levels. Levels that we trade by entering on a breakout. Essentially, these are clear points where a move can develop upon crossing them. So, in a level breakout, just like in all strategies, our task is first and
Speaker A
foremost to find a good coin, select it , wait for some formation to develop, and then enter. And the formation should look obvious. The most important thing you must drill into your head.
Speaker A
Levels must look clear; they shouldn't be something far-fetched. A big mistake for a beginner is to go in and mark every little wick on the chart, every candle, as a level. No, a level must be distinct. That is exactly why
Speaker A
stop-losses accumulate behind it, because it is visible. So, you look at the chart, just simply, you see consolidation, you see levels, that's it. These are the levels. If you look at the chart and don't see this, then it's garbage that has no stop-losses
Speaker A
behind it and is backed by nothing. Consequently, a move cannot start from there. And our task is to enter on the breakout, capture the move, and exit.
Speaker A
Watch how the breakout works. In this situation, we had good levels, and this was happening with the Ethereum coin.
Speaker A
We see the order book. I am entering with pending orders. This is the entry point. I place my orders just slightly before these levels. So, these lines in the order book correspond to these lines that are on the chart. I took my
Speaker A
profit in this situation aimlessly at around one percent. Now the coin is accelerating, this is the trade tape.
Speaker A
When the trade tape, as you can see, speeds up, it indicates that there is some interest. The order flow tape is a very important component in scalping that you really need to pay attention to. And we see, it fills my position
Speaker A
right now, boom, and there's a surge and a breakout. I entered with $ 1.5 million here, took $ 7,000, and the breakout played out. So, this is a scalping trade that is impossible to execute properly without a terminal.
Speaker A
And it's as clear and straightforward as it gets. Good levels, entry point defined. We enter, take the breakout, and exit. The next situation is a retest. A retest is also one of my absolute favorite strategies. It performs very well, and here's how it
Speaker A
works. There are the same highs, meaning there is a strong zone that gets broken, we see it, and after the breakout, the coin pulls back to the area it surged from, where that strong impulse move or well-developed movement
Speaker A
originated. In other words, initiative. Remember, when there is a breakout and it is dense, very strong—meaning the candle is substantial and large, and the coin flies up by 5, 7, or 10%— that is called strong initiative. And with such strong initiative, you can
Speaker A
trade the retest. You won't make money on every single retest. You will only make money on a strong retest. What is a strong retest? It's, for example, strong daily levels that Bitcoin or Ethereum have broken and then returned
Speaker A
to; there will be a bounce because it’s now a resistance zone, the area from which the coin was launched and will now be defended. And that is why retests work so well. Look at how retests work. Here is a situation. I
Speaker A
traded this situation during a stream. Here it is, that very coin, Pepe. It flew up, breaking through its strong levels. And this red candle returned to the zone from which it launched. I entered from this zone in the opposite
Speaker A
direction—I bought it up—because this zone will obviously be defended, and that's it. And I held until this main level here. So we see, right, how it drifted down, reached the zone it launched from, and was bought up from
Speaker A
there. I made $ 2,000 there. The move was literally 10%. Next is the breakout of a trendline. A trendline is something similar to horizontal levels, but it has touches. A trendline must have a base, it must be clear, and it
Speaker A
must be easy to see. Also, the trendline shouldn't be at too sharp an angle, because then it’s no longer a trendline, but a channel that might not perform as you need. Ideally, a trendline should look like what you see
Speaker A
on your screen. It’s a clear base, a second touch, a third touch, or consolidation near the third touch point around that zone. So, in fact, a trendline is formed by horizontal levels that lead to cascades and are spaced at a similar distance from each
Speaker A
other. And our goal is to enter on the breakout of this trendline, specifically at the point where the intersection occurs. The main targets for a trendline are its origin, which is where it was initially formed. Why?
Speaker A
Because that is the main zone, the target where the participant wants to drag the coin. Here, for example, is one such situation with the Arpa coin.
Speaker A
We can see that there are levels. These levels formed a trendline, and I enter near the intersection, which is essentially a breakout of these extreme levels where the trendline intersection happens. And watch what happens. There is just a sharp movement. Now the coin
Speaker A
will accelerate, bam. It gave a 6%move. That's it, I exited the position. This trade was fast and as technical as it gets. The coin breaks through the trendline and simultaneously clears out these levels, the cascade of levels that had built up. Or here is another
Speaker A
situation with a good trendline. There is a base, a second touch, a third, and the coin goes to break through. I enter right at the intersection; there are my pending orders, it fills the position, and that's it. And our task is to hold
Speaker A
until the targets. The targets are higher, at the origin of the trendline. Everything is developing well, good movement. I entered with 60,000 here and took, well, 3.5%. That's it, I see the coin reached the target, starts to roll back, and I exited. A fast,
Speaker A
scalping, great trade. Now, bouncing off a large order. This is also a fairly simple trading strategy for a beginner. The only thing is that there aren't that many truly good orders from which you can trade a bounce. Plus, you
Speaker A
can't just find them easily. It is advisable to use some built-in screeners that display these orders because, imagine how many coins are on the market, and even on some illiquid coins, there can be such types of large orders. And, for example, here in the
Speaker A
screenshot, we see a full-blown wall. These orders are larger than the typical orders found inside the order book. They stand out. They stand out in the market. They are very large.
Speaker A
Millions of dollars are sitting in them . And the coin is quite illiquid in this specific situation. And you can trade a pullback from these orders. But when should you not take a pullback?
Speaker A
When the order is quite old and the coin has been lingering around it for a long time. Why not? Because often such orders are eaten through very easily and hit you hard, and you effectively enter a train that's already left the
Speaker A
station. Because the longer an order is traded against, the more liquidity and stop-losses it gathers behind it.
Speaker A
Therefore, it is better to trade heavy density levels that you find when they are fresh, or moderately fresh, when they haven't been sitting there for too long. This is all determined on the chart; when there is heavy consolidation near a level, we can see
Speaker A
that it has been sitting there for a long time gathering liquidity, which means it is dangerous to trade a bounce off it. But trading density levels is simple. By the way, they can be traded in two ways. You can take a bounce off
Speaker A
them. You can also wait for them to be eaten through and enter on a breakout.
Speaker A
That is, when the level is eaten through, you enter on the breakout along with the absorption of that level via the order book and capture the impulse movement through the level.
Speaker A
Watch carefully how these levels work. We see the XRP coin, and we see large walls of density standing below, essentially slabs. So, these 200,000 unit levels don't even stand out, but here we have 7 million, 13 million.
Speaker A
These are truly large levels that, as you can see, slow down the movement, and the coin cannot easily break through them, resulting in a bounce.
Speaker A
And I am waiting for it to approach the largest level of 13 million. I place my limit orders ahead of this level because I understand it can stall the movement. And thanks to this manipulation, and the fact that the
Speaker A
coin is being held up and not going below these levels, I can capture a bounce. I have entered the position, and the retracement movement has started. This is more of a scalping trade. I don't have any grand goals
Speaker A
here. To take a huge profit. We can see that the level has even been updated.
Speaker A
It was 9 million, and now it's 19 million. That is a very good indicator, because they are defending the level more strongly. And as we can see, my stop-loss is very tight. I entered right up against it, so I won't lose
Speaker A
much even if the level is eaten through , because I don't have to wait for the stop; I can exit manually. I can just click at the market price, it will kick me out of the position, and I won't
Speaker A
really lose anything. But you can, in principle, make decent money here. Look , it is trying, it is trying, it is trying to break through, but it is not succeeding. It is taking a bite out of it, but it cannot get through. I am
Speaker A
waiting. It is quite safe to sit behind such a slab, especially when XRP had already eaten smaller levels before and lost its enthusiasm. And here, it has finally lost it completely, and now a retracement will begin. There goes the
Speaker A
retracement. By the way, take a look at how spoofing works. What you see, where 3 million, 4 million are inserted into support as the move develops. That is a very good sign. So, the participant, you see, new size is appearing, it’s
Speaker A
not letting it drop, it wants to buy it up. And without the order book, you wouldn't have seen that. I mean, it’s thanks to the order book that I entered fully. Without the order book, I wouldn't have entered here because the
Speaker A
chart is empty. I mean, you’d have to be a total idiot to click here. But because I know what to expect in the order book and how to work with it, I made a profit. I’m staying in the
Speaker A
position because I see they’re helping, pushing orders under the spread. There, they pushed again, you see, size in support. So, they are pushing the coin up, pushing it up.
Speaker A
Pushing it up. And because of that, I’m sitting in the position, continuing to hold, because, you see, I see pressure, I see it’s being bought up well, and it’s already showing me a profit of 100 dollars here. So, just
Speaker A
out of nowhere, essentially. A simple, maximal trade. They keep adding to support, I’m still in. If it starts to pull back, I would exit the position , but at the very least, I would have made money on this short manipulation.
Speaker A
That’s already good. It even reached my limit orders, look. Well, it’s going to start rolling back now. Yes, I’m out. That’s it, this move was, in principle, enough for me. The next trading strategy is the structure break strategy. It is very similar in
Speaker A
structure to the breakout strategy. Why ? Because it is important to find the levels in it. And structure break also works very well, quite decently. Here is the coin DMC for you. It had these kinds of levels. There is a main level
Speaker A
and just below it is a level with two touches. We see that the coin gave a correction and after this correction settled into consolidation. And from this consolidation, it broke out and gave the main move to these levels,
Speaker A
which I captured. So, what is a structure break? Structure is a downward corrective movement or a reverse movement into shorts, or where the coin has grown in longs, meaning it corrected from its trend. So, there is a conditional long trend, and locally
Speaker A
the coin corrects into shorts, as it was in the screenshot. And above or below this coin, there are certain strong targets, that is, levels that the coin is striving for, and the coin is generally pumping, getting filled with volume, it has some kind of
Speaker A
participant. And after this correction, the coin starts resistance and forms a consolidation at the bottom, or at the top if it’s a short formation. And when the coin breaks through this consolidation, it breaks this downward structure, as we see in the screenshot.
Speaker A
So, there was a local downward structure, but the global trend was upward. And upon breaking the consolidation, a change occurs. And the coin, breaking this local structure, goes and grows to its targets, which are known to us. Look as clearly as
Speaker A
possible at how this looks. There is a PROM coin. There are levels above on this coin. We see a small correction movement, after which the coin was bought up. It settled into local consolidation. And I entered into this
Speaker A
local consolidation. This is exactly the break of the local trend. towards the global levels I spoke about. I entered right at the breakout of this local consolidation. That’s it, I’m in the position. We see the local consolidation starting to get wiped out
Speaker A
, and my main target is higher. We see that the coin has accelerated a bit, because this is a point of strength, a key place that turns the tide of events . I entered here with $ 80,000, and my
Speaker A
task was to sit through the move upward , that is, to wait until my main targets. So, it's lagging a little, yes , but we see that it’s not rolling back. It’s not like it’s rolling back hard, or that it’s wearing me
Speaker A
out. It’s literally treading water near this zone. This is normal. Such things in scalping, and in trading in general, are normal when there is a 0.2-0.3%correction move after your entry point. There is nothing terrible about this. And here we see, that’s
Speaker A
it, it gathered momentum, the shorters stopped resisting, and now they will just drive it up in a moment. Bam, that’s it, it’s off. Notice that it started to fly out exactly from this key place. My main target is 4,200.
Speaker A
Look at what is happening. They just blasted the coin out of this place like a stick, and it will break through the levels even further and go higher. It is growing very well. This formation worked out very well in this structure
Speaker A
break. Look, it even broke through well right now. I exited the position, made $ 3,500. Another quick trade, a scalper trade, a neat trade. And structures work in a similar way for shorts. and for longs. But the most important thing
Speaker A
is that graphically it must look exactly as I showed. By the way, don't forget about my Telegram channel. I post the formations I'm watching there, my trade executions, and a lot of useful, educational info. And regarding structure breaks. I have all types of
Speaker A
breaks there, how they look: for shorts , for longs, the most basic ones that work, I have explained them fully.
Speaker A
Check the pinned messages, jump in and subscribe, because you all also want a terminal, a pre-configured terminal.
Speaker A
Well, I have such a configured terminal of this format in my Telegram channel as well. Everything you need is in my Telegram channel. Link in the description. And notice, by the way, how smooth the order book is, the
Speaker A
minimal pings, and how perfectly everything is working for me here. This is all because I’m also using Intouch Ping proxies. The link is in the description, don’t forget. It’s very important. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to trade anything
Speaker A
properly because everything would lag. The next trading strategy is volatility harvesting. The cool thing about it is that everything I’ve just been talking to you about works within it.
Speaker A
Basically, it’s a hodgepodge strategy but with increased volatility, because there are insanely volatile coins that jump 200 or 150 percent and are very volatile intraday. And some of these coins work very well for volatility harvesting. Volatility harvesting is a
Speaker A
real mix. You can trade structure breaks, breakouts, new highs, fakeouts, pullbacks, and falling knives there. So , while we might trade something on a 5 -minute chart or look at formations on a 15-minute or 1-minute timeframe, with volatility harvesting we can often
Speaker A
trade on 5-second or 15-second timeframes. And besides all that, there’s a huge number of inefficiencies present in volatility harvesting. I’d like to show you a few. One of these inefficiencies is trading off "walls," meaning support/ resistance orders, moving walls, or
Speaker A
some type of iceberg orders. Let me visually show you how an iceberg works. Icebergs are essentially liquidations.
Speaker A
These are the walls that are placed against the spread and push the coin. This all happens at incredible percentages. It’s not just 1 or 2% moves; coins are literally pushed 3 or 4%by these types of walls. How do you
Speaker A
trade this? Enter in their direction. So we see that these walls are pushing the coin down, pressing it lower and lower—it’s already been pushed down by double-digit percentages—and at some point, they end. The larger and denser they become, the more likely it
Speaker A
is that they are about to end. We can see that the range they are pushing the coin down is narrowing, and the walls are getting bigger. And now the iceberg is going to end. You see, it’s slowly shrinking, and once it ends, the coin
Speaker A
will fly upward as it gets bought back. That’s it, here it goes—boom. And we enter, you see, we enter for the upside. And just by entering here, we’ve already made 7%on the move. So all of this is 7%profit, just so you
Speaker A
understand. And this is volatility harvesting. And in this direction too, look, the iceberg has activated. Walls have started to be placed again, they’re stacking up and stacking up.
Speaker A
And here, in fact, in a matter of seconds, you earned 10%of the movement, even 12%. And that's it, it's being pushed, pushed, pushed up, up, and up.
Speaker A
That's it, it ended right there. And that's basically how order book volatility looks, yes. And I'm showing you this so that you roughly understand what you will have to deal with if you get involved. You will simply blow your
Speaker A
deposit here. Nothing good will come of it if you don't have some knowledge, experience, and practice working with the order book. Here, for example, are more understandable things. The coin is XXBT. We can see that it's rising. And
Speaker A
my task in this volatility is to catch the breakout to a new high. That is, these clusters of it correspond to the quotes. This is the extreme point where it was. It’s being pumped up, pumped up, and I wanted to catch the breakout,
Speaker A
that is, a new high for all of this on the acceleration. Here it is approaching this zone. I'm going to click into longs now. There, I clicked into longs, the breakout movement is happening. Also a short move that
Speaker A
brought me 700 dollars. The coin accelerated. That's it, I exited, took the short move, and left. And there can be a lot of such trades as well. That is, this is literally a breakout of such a local little spike that can
Speaker A
break through very well during volatility. The next trading strategy is catching falling knives. I'm using slang words so you get used to them.
Speaker A
What is it? It's a sharp impulse, a sharp impulsive movement either up or down, where we use the order book— exclusively the order book, the tape, and the order book itself, meaning the size—to look for an entry point in
Speaker A
the opposite direction in a matter of seconds. That is, the coin suddenly flew up by 10 or 15%. We found a short entry point using the order book, entered, and took a short move or a full-fledged pullback. And the same
Speaker A
thing if it fell, we buy it back too. Here is an example of such a trade, which on the chart looks like some kind of gamble, but in fact, it is a knife.
Speaker A
There was a dump on the Ether coin, that's my trade. I entered here on the pullback and took profit when the coin was bought back. Meaning there was a general market dip. I found a point during this dump and entered on the
Speaker A
rebound. Look at what a "knife" looks like. This is a very old situation with the Cyber coin. We see that Cyber is growing insanely. Growing incredibly, and I am looking for a point. The point is the slowing down of the tape, when
Speaker A
the coin stays in one place for some time. Additionally, some size orders that can slow down the movement can also serve as a signal. And a spread gap. A spread gap. I will now clearly show you what that is. That's it, I
Speaker A
entered right here. We can see, right, that it stalled, I'm getting dragged down, meaning I took a bit of a hit. I exited the position because it gave me a entry point, but it didn't move. And you have to exit immediately in this
Speaker A
case. Let’s watch, it’s growing higher and higher. That's it, it stalled right here and isn't moving further. See, the spread was tearing.
Speaker A
What is a spread tear? It's when the coin is actually standing still. I mean , I entered the position, it seems to go here and there, here and there, but in reality, it's right here. It tears the spread this way, it tears the
Speaker A
spread that way. It's when in a second it makes some moves up and down, but it’s physically being held back.
Speaker A
Meaning it’s trying to do something, but it stays in place. And then it shoots off. And that's it. And a sharp, look, an impulsive movement followed, which in a matter of seconds earned me 2,200 dollars. And, I repeat, you don't
Speaker A
always catch the entry point on the first try when trading "falling knives. " It’s normal when you find a point, it seems good, but you get kicked out, and you don't catch the entry on the first go. This trading system is
Speaker A
ambiguous, difficult for a beginner, so I don't recommend you get into it either. I’m just showing and demonstrating how it happens and how it can work. I explained each of my trading strategies in more detail in a separate video dedicated to strategies.
Speaker A
Take a look, a pop-up window has appeared for you. An important component is the community. These are people who have the same interests as you, want to develop, and want to earn money. And we have such a community,
Speaker A
where I personally guide people, where I post what I’m watching on a daily basis. Meaning I do a full market analysis, find a situation, and explain the entry and exit points. There are already hundreds of hours of educational material there, and it’s
Speaker A
very important to me that people become independent and progress. That’s why I also do live streams, analyze your trades, and correct your mistakes so that you can progress. And you get all of this in one place. So go ahead,
Speaker A
definitely jump in. The link to the manager is in the description. Message him: "I want to join the private channel." Because 1,000 members who have passed through the private channel have progressed, and a huge number of people, joining the private channel,
Speaker A
earn back their subscription in 1-2 days because I provide trades and situations. So jump in, don't miss your chance, write to the manager. And now we’ve reached risk management. In my view, risk management is understanding before entering a position what you
Speaker A
will do with the situation, how you will handle it, and how you will enter the position. You also must foresee a scenario for exiting the position.
Speaker A
Meaning you’ve fully worked through the situation before executing it, analyzed it completely, and given yourself a chance for a precise trade.
Speaker A
At the same time, you’ve set a fixed risk on your deposit. The first is the entry point; you must know where it is in advance. The second is your stop-loss; you must know where it is in advance. And the third is the risk. If
Speaker A
the risk is based on the order book, you must calculate the volume in advance. If the risk is graphical— meaning you know in advance what level you’re hiding behind and where your stop will be—you must calculate the volume for that risk in advance. And
Speaker A
the risk must be relative to your deposit. So, if you have, for example, 100 dollars, a 3%risk is the maximum you should allow yourself if you’re trading with a clear head. And it’s not a given that you even need to trade
Speaker A
with leverage. At the start, you might not use it at all, because our goal isn't to make money. Accordingly, for every trade you execute, while approaching the choice of entry, exit, and so on with a cool head, you should
Speaker A
risk no more than 3 dollars per 100 dollars of your deposit. It could be 1, 2, or 3 dollars, but no more. And don't forget that a single mistake can destroy literally everything. Many get liquidated in mere minutes or seconds
Speaker A
because they don't follow risk management. And what follows from this is the selection of position size. Many also make very big mistakes with this.
Speaker A
I will now tell you how to do it correctly. The most important thing you must remember is that position size is chosen based on the coin's volatility.
Speaker A
Low volatility means more leverage and more volume, but no higher than 3%of your deposit. Higher volatility means less leverage; even 1/3 leverage—that is, 1/3 of your total deposit—is enough to trade a coin with high volatility. And in this way, we
Speaker A
regulate the volume we enter with. For example, many people, when trading breakouts on Bitcoin, Ether, and similar heavy coins that move slowly— these heavyweights—myself included, use leverage up to 10x or 20x. Why does it seem so high? Because the leverage
Speaker A
on such a coin, if you hit your stop-loss, remains insignificant and stays within that 2-3%risk zone per deposit. So, such a stop-loss and such leverage are proportionate to what would happen if, for example, you entered a volatile coin with 1x
Speaker A
leverage—meaning using only your deposit to trade it—and hit your stop-loss. It is essentially the same thing, just with lower volatility and higher leverage. There is also another frequent beginner mistake: trading with chaotic leverage. So, here they enter a
Speaker A
volatile coin with a small volume, and then in the next volatile coin, they go in with a large volume. Accordingly, on the small volume, they might make a profit, let's say a small one, but on the oversized volume, they'll give it
Speaker A
back on the same volatile coin. While it might seem like a small amount in percentage terms, the risk to the deposit will be significant. I think you've understood the logic as well.
Speaker A
And because of such chaos, a beginner's deposit just flies into the abyss, simply into the abyss. Gambling kicks in, tilt, and that’s it. And a state of psychological insecurity, a desire to give it all up. And here we approach
Speaker A
progression, that is, step by step. What do you need to do to make sure everything works out for you? First: If you are a beginner, choose only one strategy at the start. Why is that?
Speaker A
Because if you try to grab this, that, this, and that, you won't succeed anywhere. You'll try, for example, level breakouts, trade for a week, and you won't like it. Or you'll think: " Damn, I can't make money, there's
Speaker A
something wrong with this trading strategy." You'll move to another strategy, and there you'll get wiped out, screwed, and so on. Meaning you don't give yourself enough time, and you need more time for study, for gathering statistics. And when you've
Speaker A
chosen your one and only simplest strategy at the start, choose breakouts , that's my personal recommendation.
Speaker A
You must write it down. And not just write it down, but scrupulously. You must write down clear entry and exit conditions, examples of what a tradable coin looks like, and what shouldn't be traded. By the way, in my Telegram
Speaker A
channel, in the pinned messages, there is a full roadmap on how to write a trading strategy from scratch. Any beginner can also do this on their own.
Speaker A
It is a full-fledged instruction, also pinned, link in the description, head over to Telegram. Very important. The next thing is recording every trade.
Speaker A
This is necessary for analysis. I have told you about this before as well. For this, use OBS, NVIDIA, and off you go.
Speaker A
For every trade, record the last 5 minutes of your screen in order to analyze it afterward. Well, from this follows the analysis of your mistakes.
Speaker A
This is done through recordings, through a trading journal, which you must get into the habit of filling out from the start, reviewing every trade, and making it a habit, say, every 3 days or once a week, to do a full
Speaker A
analysis, collect statistics, and write everything down. This will greatly help you in the long run, with understanding and progression, because thanks to this , you will clearly and visibly see your mistakes and will root them out. And work on the long term with all of this.
Speaker A
That is, you take a month or two for yourself, keep track of your stats, stay as stable as possible, don't overleverage, and do everything mentioned in this video. So, how do you track your progress? How do you know if
Speaker A
you're growing instead of standing still? Here is a step-by-step plan on how to track all of this. The first stage, where you might be right now, is chaotic trading. Meaning you are trading at a loss. And the cashback you
Speaker A
get from the exchange or brokerage platform covers your loss a little bit. Or it doesn't cover a damn thing, but it gives you some small plus. Basically , you are a losing trader overall. Next comes the second point: discipline
Speaker A
appears, you have controlled yourself a bit, and although you are still trading at a loss, the cashback almost covers it. Meaning you are trading near breakeven when accounting for cashback.
Speaker A
At this stage, you might still dip slightly into the red, even with the cashback, or sometimes break even with it. And the next stage is when cashback becomes your full-fledged profit. Your trading stabilizes to the point where you consistently trade at breakeven
Speaker A
over the course of a month. And your cashback is your profit, thanks to these commissions and the fact that the exchange gives it all back to you. That is already very good progress and a very good result. And then there's the
Speaker A
favorite stage for everyone: the consistently profitable trader, where both the cashback and your trading are in the green. Now, let me give you a step-by-step plan that you must stick to for at least 30 days. Let's say, Vanya, you watched this video; what is
Speaker A
the first thing you need to do? First of all, you need to sort out your toolkit. This includes the exchange, the trading terminal, all the screeners you can use, and the apps you need to find everything. Also, set up your
Speaker A
note-taking app, trading journal, and proxies; get all that ready. Second, choose a simple strategy; we talked about this earlier. Third: write down the complete rules for the strategy.
Speaker A
Write it all out, and use your Telegram channel to help. And fourth, create your workspace and configuration, download the terminal, and figure it out by clicking around. I even recommend that if you are a complete beginner, a total novice, give yourself
Speaker A
the first 2-3 days to get used to what it is and how the terminal works. You can even switch on a demo account just to see what it's like. The getting-used-to stage passes. By the fourth or fifth day, you can slowly
Speaker A
start following the plan we discussed throughout this video. We need to select coins that are in play, meaning coins that are fundamentally strong, search for them every day, watch them, analyze them, and add them to the terminal, but that doesn't mean you
Speaker A
have to trade them, because first you need to analyze what these coins are. You look at the order book, you look at the chart, you analyze everything. But if there isn't a clearly defined good situation, you skip it. No trades is
Speaker A
always good, especially in a dead, trash market. That is, under no circumstances should you set a quota for trades. Like, I have to make a certain number of trades every day. Or like, I must close every day at + 1%,
Speaker A
or + 3%, or a week at + 10%. Never set goals like that, because there are circumstances beyond your control. You will pressure yourself, then get FOMO, and then tilt. Next, while searching for a situation, determine your stop-loss in advance. Good or bad
Speaker A
formation, coin analysis, entry point, targets, how far you can hold the coin and what might happen, position size, and your risk. And when you find something good, you make a trade according to these rules and take profit. Look at the result, go to your
Speaker A
journal, and analyze it. And then everything turns into a good, in the good sense of the word, routine. You trade according to the same plan, do the same thing on a daily basis, track statistics, control risks, keep a
Speaker A
journal, record trades, look for your mistakes; while maintaining a good psychological state, not overtrading.
Speaker A
If there's nothing there, you leave or watch some useful materials, for example, in the private channel, watch a huge amount of content, and progress.
Speaker A
And later, at the end of the month, every month and every week, you sum things up. Short summaries for the week , overall results for the month relative to your deposit. You see how much it has increased. If it hasn't
Speaker A
increased, then why. You look for your mistakes, and thanks to this analysis, you write everything down and see how your progress is going. And until your month is at least in the plus including cashback, don't try to increase your
Speaker A
volume, stand your ground and progress, study and try to understand what is wrong with you. The main thing is to be stable, disciplined, clear, and in the long run, there will be results. I am doing my best for you. I am breaking it
Speaker A
down for you as much as possible. Remember, use the proxy, the link is in the description. Hop into the private channel and progress even faster to understand how to set up this structure . Get a community and enjoy life. All
Speaker A
useful things are in my free Telegram. I've already notified you, everything is in the pinned messages. We are finishing the video here. Health to your loved ones and family. Good luck and goodbye. Yeah.
