Rule of 3

in #trading7 years ago

rule-of-3.png

I'm seven days into my swing trade so I need to pull the trigger on it between now and three days from now. I think the price is about to make big moves, I'm just not quite sure which direction. Judging by how weak the market feels I would say there is a 25% chance of it going up to 12k and a much bigger chance of it dipping under 9k. I've set an aggressive stop loss at $9777. Fully capitulating if that 10k support gets shattered. The price is already very very tight around this range.

However, there is still hope. We've gone down 3 times, popped back up, and gone down 3 times again. I see a lot of triple patterns in the market, so this could be bullish despite the timelines not quite adding up.

This is another situation where I wish I had taken my own advice as far as the rule of three is concerned. When Bitcoin hit $13.8k we were all riding high, but it had just spiked up 3 times in a very predictable manner.

9777 is way too aggresive.

Not more aggressive than selling right now, which I was also considering.

Ure riding ur emotions not the market ^^

If it goes up, I'm buying. If it goes down, I'm buying more. Not interested in fiat right now, but I also do not keep anything on exchanges, so a stop loss is not an option for me unless I can manage without sleep. Good luck!

If it goes up, Im selling
If it goes down, Im buying

At 9777 huh?

Saved by the bell and still in the game I would say, at least judging from Binance

You know what you are doing and I really think your call on a 75% chance of a drop is more likely. Stick with your speculation I think it's on point. - literally my 2 cents.

@edicted, Good luck towards your investments. In my opinion currently every Financial Markets reflecting the super dynamic essence.

Hopefully soon it will start to rise rather than lower.

If you are doing option trading, this analysis should be okay otherwise on non-leverage trading one can have more flexibility, other leading and other lagging indicators can give better idea. But I will always say price action and inside bar trading comes first.
