{quote} The spread for BTCUSD is good, you can trade it on IC Markets. Their other cryptos have too wide of a spread for me. But still, any currency would still be better than BTCUSD. The price action on any currency is better than BTCUSD.
There is no sense to trade crypto on forex since it has 1:50 leverage max and this is not the problem. The problem is that it is nominated in dollars! It is better to trade perpetual futures nominated in btc, because in this case there are no spread at all, there are rebates for limit orders (+0.15% turn), there are positive funding every 8 hours for shorts (mostly) and the last but not the least - there are NO RISK and no liquidation price for shorts with 1x leverage due to the contract specifications. I just wonder how you guys are trading if you don't know the basics!!!
You all are talking about the mindset, the feelings, but all you must do is to study math!

p.s. Please don't tell me that sl works but hedge not, don't show me your colored lines on the chart with numerous indicators. Answer one question: what is 1 adr distance in % today for EURUSD, for XAUUSD and for BTCUSD. If you fail to do it there is nothing to discuss. Study math first!

BTCUSD.
and here comes the need for leverage as high deposit requirements so high leverage is required.
especially if we trade in a smaller time zone.
and we don’t have a huge account.

One good thing about trading BTCUSD is there is no commission and, you can trade it over the weekend too on IC Markets. But I don't trade BTCUSD personally. Forex pairs are much better.

The spread on ICM for Bitcoin I think it is excessive. And ICM will probably charge overnight swaps.

Maybe you can also consider trading on an exchange or similar real bitcoins through spot accounts instead of CFDs or margin-based trading (that is unnecessary due to the high volatility of BTC).

I mean, ICM for CFDs on Forex pairs is ok, but for trading cryptos, I think it is better to trade using a real exchange.

I trade only with EAs.. but tnx to this thread tried now some manual day trading on demo account, spent about 2 hours per day, 4 days in a row this week: here results: {image} here some stats: {image}
1 week done. Next week will try with live account.

Click to Enlarge Name: manual_1_week.png Size: 96 KB


here all details/history.

plan.. split 1k into 10 parts. try to scale and multiply 6 times in a row: 100 to 200 to 400 to 600 to 1200 to 2400. 6 weeks. then cashout. and restart with 200 usd. cashout 4800 and restart with 400 usd. so each time have 10 attempts to make 100% in 1 week and so 6 weeks in a row.

ideally if no wipeouts then:
6 weeks 2400
12 weeks 4800
24 weeks 9600
30 weeks 19200
36 weeks 38400
42 weeks 76800
48 weeks 153600
54 weeks 307200 usd

this is an illusion... might be several wipeouts in that journey. so maybe after 3 years might be reached the goal 300k.

will consider maybe scale in not on 100% but already on 20%. with 100 usd can trade initially 0.05 lots. I didnt raised lots but yes averaged out some deals and hedged a lot. 60% dd (close to wipeout).

Do you sell smth like Peter? What is the purpose of that bullshit you post? Can I have 30% discount for your holy grail PDF? How much can I have daily? Aussie says even a kid can have 7% daily. How about you? Can I trust you? Can you open more than 350 lots on Gold like them? Are you a part of their gang?

I trade fundamentals and supply/demand. I do not open a lot of positions. I buy/sell and hold, until something changes in fundamentals and/or reaches supply zone/demand zone. I do not sell anything, I share my charts. I am not part of any gang, I am full time trader, I invest my own money and that is how I make my money. I have been full time forex trader for years. I also started investing into stock market and it is going well. I do not care if you trust me or not. I also do not care what Aussie says or Peter or whoever you are talking about. You are nothing and nobody to me. Now go for a walk, from what I read in your post, you are a frustrated person.
