How to trade according to my analysis - a must read

Here I keep a trading diary and publish real setups that I trade myself. So that you understand the logic and can repeat it, I’ll explain how it works.

If you read the analysis on the website or in the channel - first this guide, then the deal. Otherwise, it’s easy to confuse the entry zone with a “come in right now” signal.

If you're just at the start of the journey — first read about the three roles of a trader: psychologist, risk manager and executor. Without them, any rule below rests only on mood.

Entering a trade

Limit orders only. No market entries - only preset limits at specific levels. In each analysis, I show with horizontal lines on the chart exactly where my orders are.

The analysis may have 1, 2 or 3 entry zones:

  • 1 zone → 1 limit
  • 2 zones → 2 limits
  • 3 zones → 3 limits

If the first limit worked and the price went lower towards the second, the second one becomes extra. It's not scary, it's a plan.

When I publish an analysis, this is not a signal to enter the market right now.

There are no arguments on the chart to enter before the zone. The price may reach it quickly, or it may take a few days - it doesn’t matter. My positions are opened only in specific places and nowhere else.

There is only one task - wait until the price comes to the desired area.

Risk management

I allocate 1–3% of the deposit for one setup and divide it evenly between the limits:

3% for setup + 3 limits = 1% for each

3% for setup + 2 limits = 1.5% for each

I enter into a trade consciously. I set a stop loss before entering. I already know how much I can lose, and I accept this risk in advance - even before the limit is triggered.

If your hand reaches to remove the stop out of fear of seeing a minus — unpack how to overcome fear of losses: the stop belongs to the trade, not to you.

And if the entry only appears after "everyone already wrote" in the chat — that's no longer a breakdown, it's trading the crowd's mood.

If the terms leverage, margin and position size are still confusing, I explain them in detail in the article what crypto futures are.

Periodically check the balance of your open limits. As the market moves, be careful not to accumulate too many positions in one direction at the same time.

Stop loss

Placed from the lower zone. In the analysis, I can show my stop (usually 1–4%) - but it is under my risk management, which may not suit you.

You can set your stop according to your position size - that's fine.

Take profit and breakeven

Sometimes I write goals in advance, sometimes not - it depends on the situation. But when I fix a position, I always report it to the channel.

Once the first goal is achieved:

  • I fix part of the position
  • I move my stop to the entry point

From this point on, the rest of the trade works risk-free. Then there are two options: the price goes to the next goals - I take the rest, or it turns around and closes the rest to zero. But part of the profit has already been recorded in any case.

Moving the stop to breakeven after the first target is not an option, it is a mandatory rule.

If one limit triggered and the price went

We remove the remaining limits. We work with an open position and wait for the goal.

Alignment accuracy

No need to copy my levels pixel to pixel. Exchanges are different, prices are slightly different. You can move the limit by 0.1–0.4% - that’s normal. The main thing is to be in the zone, not the exact number. Well, if you want it to coincide, trade where I do.

A zone on the chart is a specific entry plan. If for some reason you took only part of the zone or moved the limit, check whether the entire zone has worked.

If the price has already passed through the entire range, and you are not in a position, we remove the limits, skip the setup, and move on.

Relevance of analyzes

My analyzes do not have an expiration date. As long as the zone is not covered by the price, the setup is relevant. It may work tomorrow, in a week or in a month. We set limits and calmly wait for the price to come to the desired area.

If something changes, I inform the channel. I removed the limit and wrote. The script has changed - I wrote it. The relevance of any analysis can always be checked by coin hashtag.

If they flew away without us

Happens. The limit was not taken, the price went away - the position was held by those who were on the right exchange with the right level. The rest remove the limits and move on to the next setup. No emotions.

Disclaimer

Everything that is published in this channel and on the website is my personal trading diary. This is not financial advice, an investment recommendation, or a call to repeat my actions.

I share my trades and thinking - you make your own decisions and are fully responsible for them. The market is unpredictable: any transaction can bring both profit and loss.

Trade consciously and only with funds that you are willing to lose.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Do I keep an eye on the coin after placing a deep limit?

Yes, I'm watching. Deep limits are for sudden movements - squeezes, flash crashes. But if the price approaches the zone slowly, it’s okay, the zone still works.

I remove the limit only if the zone is blocked or the scenario has changed - I always write about this in the channel.

Do I hold the position until a deep take?

No. As soon as the price reaches the first target, I fix the part and move the stop to the entry point. The further position is without risk.

Transferring the stop to breakeven is a mandatory rule, not an option.

What do I do if there are two scenarios and it’s not clear where it will go?

No need to guess - I have zones:

  • price goes up → take profit
  • price down → gaining a position at the level

This is the meaning of working from zones.

What to do with limits if there is panic in the market?

I'm taking it off. If there is real fear in the market - news, geopolitics, something serious - I remove all open limits until the situation becomes clearer.

In a panic, the price can fly significantly below any zones and not rebound there, but continue to fall. The limit will be taken - and you will be in the red without understanding where to go next.

In a bad market, safety comes first, then deals. New analyzes will appear when the situation stabilizes - I’ll write about it in the channel.

Are all analyzes processed?

No, and I will never say yes. This is the market - it's not 100%. There are stops, there are setups that did not reach the zone, there are false breakouts. This is a normal part of trading.

But the goal is not to make every trade a profit. The task is to follow the rules at a distance. Correct risk management, stop in advance, enter only in the zone - and the statistics work in a positive manner over time.

If instead of honoring the stop you start adding to a loser and “holding a bit longer” — that is no longer an entry mistake, it is chasing losses.

One stop does not solve anything. The system decides.


These are the most anticipated questions so far. If more appear, I’ll add them. You can ask your questions under the reviews and in the chat.
