New great day started with XAU long +17.72%

It was made in 2 trades, same idea like for BTC: bounce from 8 EMA low using main direction.

What we see here? It is not London open yet.
1m: Price goes down a little from daily open (white line). It is 3rd wave of bounces.
1H: Price hit 8 EMA low, but the main trend is up.

Crypto trades:

BTC short +0.05%. The volume is low. All timeframes till 6H are bearish. 6H still bullish and 200 EMA hold the price. In this case it is 50/50. I think it will bounce back and will go higher. But if it will go under 200 EMA there is huge chance of panic sale. So I'm watching only 1-4H TF for long (reverse) and 6H for shorts. It is better to stay in 1x leverage short to earn funding and wait.

Long XAU +1.26%
Long XAU +0.78%
Long XAU +1.35%
Long XAU +1.01%

If not that crypto loss about 35% then I doubled my equity on this week

Dang there was nice XAU, during writing this. Are you using footprint at all ?

I like the tape too. But not sure, can i handle footprint also, using one screen.

No, I'm not I wish some day I'll learn how to use the footprint. I'm too slow to read it real time.

I'm waiting for clusterdelta guys to create good orderbook. But the problem is that on crypto there are the difference between price you pay for market and limit orders. On forex there is no difference so placing limit orders is useless and no one use them. When trading crypto it is extremely useful to see the walls full of limit orders (because stops we can't see, we just can calculate them using the channel filled and the average leverage used). But on forex market orders rule the world. So I feel that even new orderbook will not help a lot and I have to learn footprint anyway.

But RickM is footprint guru! So we have at least one guy and we can ask him our stupid questions

Here fresh XAU footprint, XAU is moving so fast I dont know if i can get these, have to try , every ms counts, and mt4 terminal roundtrip is slow and connection latency from outside U.S, then using wireless mouse, wont help too.
I would take short here, need to start boxing (restore reflex), better nose red than account.

My btc short now in profits +2% as BTC went down. I can now close the position by adding 2% BTC to my account. And re-open short position with more size.
Hi!

Check this:

BTC +0.74%
It is hedged 10x short with 10x long with positive funding on short. Keep in mind that sometimes the distance between contracts are different. It is not equal all the time. So it can be for example -0.1% and then -0.22% because perpetual inverse move wider. So if to create a bot that will check it every second for example then we can catch that positive movements and close both positions in more profit after collecting the fundings. And then re-open again and wait again.

So the tactic is:
1. open positions only using limit orders. It must be done on calm period to avoid fast market movements and with low volume to get min possible spread.
2. open max available leveraged trades to get max hundings.
3. wait for spread between contracts become tight and close both with limit orders. That will occur sooner or later with big volume comes.

The volume is too low, so all the trades on XAU was awful. I think it is better to stay away from the market today.

I'm using digitalocean and hetzner. They are about the same but I love DO more. May be you can buy Elon Musk's Starlink? I saw it is about 100$ month and very fast and good quality internet...

BTW, check this article, especially about how Stop Cascades work.
It is very interesting to learn how the market work.
I hear a lot of info that on forex it is different, but I think it is not. The market mechanism is the same.

Those stuff is interesting, i was study those things, because lot of things happend around ES in past.


I don't know how they will make it <20ms that would be super and also if they offer compact dish, maybe elon has study how it was done here by cartman ass.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZBp0aVQpFU



i read in new zealand they latency is + 100ms.
I hope he can shoot 10 000 starlinks to orbit, and crash his mars stuff to all debris. Because if he is giving interviews how good is it for first person shooter games, and don't even say nothing about, other use.

If the device will be small which has 20ms latency, i would be subscriber, even i don't like his other ideas like a drill my skull and put mind reading plug it.
Morning gang!

New week started. Let's take a quick look.

There are no red news today, so the Monday must be calm. Interesting thing that all the timeframes on BTC till 12h are still bearish. I'm waiting the price to hit EMA200 on 12H tf on this week and bounce back. Second scenario if the price will go higher, third if it will hit the 200 EMA and go more down. In this case I afraid there can be panic sale activated. But trading near EMA200 is always complicated. So take care!

Morning kk100!

Didn't saw the spread, I will trade New York open today. May be London open a little. But since it is Monday and no red news whole day there will be no volume. I need at leat 333 on XAU per minute. If less it is very risky for me.
