LIKE IT WOULD BE OVERWHELMING TO READ ALL THESE EXCEPTIONS ETC. FOR SOMEONE THAT IS NEW
TO TA, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN U SPOT THINGS THAT U THINK MIGHT BE NOT EXPLAINED FULLY
1.Volume
a)CANDLE VOLUME
If u see candle with big volume but big wick, that means most likely reversal, or sl hunt example:
Let’s look at 3 of these candles with biggest volume and what they means first candle is just sl hunt, coin
was at support back then so it can’t reverse (it’s in downtrend already).
Second candle is full body candle without big wick, that means behind push in price there was money that
support this kind of push
We have 3rd candle with big wick, and that is usually a)reversal wick b)it made road for further uptrend as
tp was hit, so no sellers anymore to stop push (but usually it means A).
If there is big candle but without volume, that means push is weak and price should back down to where it
was before
b)PATTERN VOLUME
This is something that I will share without chart, overall when your pattern breaks, it should be WITH
VOLUME, after this u should see retest on much lower volume as confirmation and then GIGAPUSH with
volume again, no volume means fakeout most likely.
4 EMA Forecast- I prefer EMA’s over MA, when you look for indicator, look for ones with forecast.
Buying/selling volume-can help u with checking if there is more buyers or sellers
Hammers and stars strategy-I used this to spot hammers on 30m/1h chart, cool for scalping
Pivot Points High Low- it can help u to check if there is LL/LH/HL/HH
Pivots Fibonacci Retracement- I showed it one day, if you’re too lazy to draw fibs, that indicator is for you
RSI Divergences- THIS IS INDICATOR THAT I ALWAYS USE, its super easy to spot bullish/bearish div on this,
normal and hidden ones
3.EMA
a)4H
First thing that I check when I see chart is if 50EMA is above 200EMA on 4h, it can show u if coin is in
uptrend or downtrend, if ema50 is below ema200, forget about longing this, let’s not make things harder
than they have to be. Best example for this is ADA
As you can see there,EMA50 crossed below EMA200 in september after hitting 3$ ATH in august. We had
drop in september on btc, but it was far from ATH. ATH on btc was in november ’21 (spike to 2,351).
Imagine that you would try to long it all the time when btc was going from 40k to ath and ADA was
sideways/down. Doesn’t make sense right?
•Fakeouts
Sometimes fakeout cross happens, so how we can be sure if we’re in uptrend or nah
-Btc breaking important resistance (like 45k in march)
-Btc have ema50 above ema200
-Push is slower (if u see spike in price, that might mean its fakecross)
-EMA 50 retest without breaking below it
-You can see HL and HH
After using this for a while u will feel when its fakeout or nah
b)1H
If 4h is bullish (look above) then u can use 1h/ltf to spot your entries for long
As you can see there, usually what happens is that it will look to retest ema50 or ema200 (that depends on
btc usually) and these are entry points that u looking, it’s like „moving support”. If ema50 breaks then it
will retest ema200 1h(ema50 4h). You can add trendlines or fibs to help u spot exact entries. Also I like to
use this mostly on alt/btc charts to see if only btc push price or coin is strong too.
c)1D/HTF
4.Patterns+candles strength
a) These are most important patterns that you need to know, when they break, u should see bigger volume
on breakout/breakdown (keep that in mind).
b)How to measure these patterns (at least most of them)
Highest point-lowest point=x
breakout point +x=tp
breakdown point-x=tp
c)Flags
d) Less important patterns
•Adam&Eve
•Diamond
The measured move is from the top of the diamond to the bottom of the diamond. A break from where the
diamond is on side D will be where the measured target will take place.
Vice versa for the bullish diamond just upside down.
Sides A and D is approximately the same length.
Sides B and C also same length approximately.
e)Candle strength
5.RSI
You should use indicator with it, you need to tweak it a little bit in options.
You can use it on 1h/4h, to look for reversal or for entry (depends if you’re in uptrend or downtrend,
EMA50 above/below EMA200 4h). Remember that this is LAGGING indicator and you will see bear/bull
div after candle close, so you won’t get perfect entries by using rsi alone.
I don’t recommend using this indicator alone, with EMA’s it can work bonkers imo.
Not much to add, everything is explained in NCrypt30 pdf.
6.Support/Resistance
I like to draw previous support/resistance lines on daily charts to see where price can stop pushing, or just
to not buy into resistance. If you see wick to certain price, then add line and u will know for future your
invalidation price. I know some people prefer BUY/SELL ZONES (or bullish/bearish order blocks, u name it)
for me lines are good enough.
You can make it on 3d/1w as I did on BTC chart, but it’s up to you.
Blue-1d/Orange-3d/Weekly-Red
7.ALT/BTC CHARTS
I like to check alt/btc charts to see if btc pushing price of alt or alt is just really strong, bcs if only btc
pushing price, then why would I try to trade alt, when I can trade btc? Look for EMA50 above ema200 on
1h there at least (4h is fine too). It is correlated with btc.d chart. If btc.d go down, then most likely alt/btc
chart will go up too, but if it’s not then its big warning sign that something is wrong.
8.Other charts
a)Crypto related
-Usdt.d+Usdc.d+Ust.d
-btc.d/btc.d+eth.d
-Bvol24h (optional, to see if big move coming soon)
-Total/total2/total3
b)Overall market
9.Fibs
In bull run, just draw from top to bottom/from HH to HL, 0.382-0.5-0.618 are your entries and 1.414-1.618
are your tp zones
11.Paper trading
In TradingView you have option for papertrading, it might help you with testing strategies etc. I recommend
resetting that account and start with 100/1000 and try to get 2x from there to see if strategy is successful
or not. You won’t risk any money and u will gain confidence by trading with this.
12.Volatility
You can expect bigger volatility before weekly and monthly candle close, so be careful with opening trades
at that Times. Also keep an eye on news, CPI, new laws, covid etc. to not jump onto quick pump and dump.
Personally I prefer avoid trading news and I really recommend avoiding this.
