XRP Short Idea - OB + other Confluences

il y a 5 jours

Hi sharing the short position I have entered, will share trades more often for thoughts. To lazy to write much of a TA this time around - but read text on chart.

Generally - As always at least remember, and it has been and will be for a long time - crypto is volatile as fk. So should the trade work, the markets probably dumping. Always observe price action, it's nice to hit a wick entry as i usually do (heh), but its nicer to profit. A safe entry, one where the price action following (noting volatility) confirms your trade entry is always better than that one guy who had a successful trade with a perfect entry.

Charts are beautiful, they reflect human psychology and as a direct reflection of psychology it is subjective, a perfect entry may occur but ultimately whether it is 'perfect' or 'safe' is dependent on what you think trading is and what your criteria is, including your risk appetite and experience.

Also, off this point, given it is psychological, trading is also therefore a 'self fulfilling prophecy'. 99% chance you are a small fish, as a small fish please remember market makers (the people with real liquid, that will dump on you and cause liquidation cascades for re-entry for example) understand trading is self fulfilling and can take advantage of this fact. Knowing most retail traders (yes you, the small fish) use support and resistance, you are targeted with the masses. Your entry, your stop loss will be hunted. The markets are manipulated people, never forget that simple fact.
