Pattern analysis cheat sheet - 4C Trading. [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this article, you will find a summary of the most well-known chartist configurations, their meanings and especially their probabilities. First of all, let me remind you what chartismor pattern analysis is. It is a decision-making system based on the search for graphic patterns. More or less geometric, these figures occur on a recurrent basis on the markets and make it possible to a certain extent to anticipate future movements of an asset. The latter may either go up or down. In the first case we will speak of a “bullish” configuration and in the second case of a “bearish” configuration. For the anecdote, “bullish” refers to a bull, the latter attacks its enemies from bottom to top with its horns, hence the bullish trend. “Bearish” refers to a bear that defends itself from top to bottom against its attackers, hence the bearish trend. In the summary table, you will find percentages associated with each figure. Remember that we are thinking in a probabilistic way. Therefore, do not think that all the configurations and probabilities presented in this table will allow you to succeed 100% of your trades. If that were the case, I wouldn’t be here writing this article. “A recurrent behaviour is not, in any case, constant. ”Here is the summary table:Note that if you do not know all the configurations, you can search for them online.

What is LUNA 2. 0? - 4C Trading. We’ve all heard about it, the collapse of LUNA and UST has caused a stir and shaken the crypto market as a whole. Many investors were left with significant losses. Is Terra 2. 0 a hope? The Terra team continues its relentless efforts to revive its ecosystem, which has been ravaged by an unprecedented crisis. Last week Terra unveiled its 2. 0 version and launched an airdrop of LUNA, which will thus repurpose the old token, now LUNC, for classic Luna. Terra’s “1623 proposal” to revive the ecosystem with a blockchain fork and new tokenism has generated a lot of interest, especially from those who have suffered heavy losses due to the collapse of UST and LUNA. The team ensured that a distinction was made between those who held the tokens before and after the “attack” regarding the airdrop. On its official Twitter page, Terra also revealed that Terra 2. 0 would not be a hard fork, but rather the creation of an entirely new blockchain, of 0. How does the airdrop work? Here are the exact details of how the airdrop will take place:– 35% of the original tokens will be distributed to all LUNA holders before the crash. This means that no less than 350 million of the new LUNA will be reserved for those who bought the tokens before May 7, and kept them even during the crash. Portfolios with less than 10,000 LUNA will receive 30% of their share immediately, and 70% will be returned gradually over two years. – 15% of the LUNAs will be reserved for people who held aUSTs before the crash. – 15% of the initial tokens of the new chain will be reserved for those who bought USTs after the May 7 collapse. – 10% of the new LUNAs will go to those who bought LUNAs after the collapse, and will be returned gradually over a two-year period. – Finally, the remaining 30% will go to the community, to support the efforts of dapp developers. ConclusionIf you were holding LUNA before the collapse, you now know what to expect regarding the airdrop. If you didn’t have any and bought them after the collapse, you now own LUNCs, which will continue to coexist with the new LUNAs. As for the question of the success of this rescue, unfortunately this is something we will have to wait and see, no one can say in advance and it will also depend on the overall state of the market.

How to trade a trending market? - 4C Trading. BTC has been in a trading range for 3 months and is now out of it! We could be seeing a resumption of the bullish trend. If you’ve ever wondered what a trend is and more importantly, how to trade during a trend, you’ve come to the right place because that’s exactly what this article is about. What is a trend? As you may have noticed if you have ever looked at a stock chart, prices do not move in a straight line but rather in oscillations. They alternate between rising and falling phases. When the price increases for a certain period of time, the downward phases will tend to be shorter than the upward phases. We will then say that we are in a bullish trend. The opposite is also true for a downtrend, the downtrends will be longer than the uptrends. Is the market always trending? That would be far too easy, wouldn’t it? All we have to do is look for signs that the trend is ending and move to the other side to benefit from it every time. No my dear friends, price behavior is much more complex than that. When prices reach the end of their run, after an uptrend for example, they will tend to rest, and move flat. This is called a trading range! It is extremely important to be able to recognize them, otherwise your gains during the trend will evaporate. Indeed, a trend following system will not work during a range and will give many false signals. How to recognize a trend? I mentioned above that there are up and down phases in a trend. When an uptrend ends, it marks a high point and when a downtrend ends, it marks a low point. In the case of an uptrend, there must be a sequence of higher and higher highs as well as a sequence of higher and higher lows. The opposite is true for a downtrendOn the chart below, we can distinguish higher and lower high points and lower and lower low points indicating that we are in a bearish trend. How to trade during a trend? There are many ways to trade a trend, and we will discuss some key indicators that will help you to see more clearly and filter out some of the false signals. SuperTrend The SuperTrend is an excellent trend indicator and can be used in different ways: to set stop-losses, to identify support and resistance areas and to get buy or sell signals. VolumeVolume is one of the most relevant indicators in technical analysis. They allow you to judge the strength of a movement. In the context of trend following, they should be used to confirm a breakout from a previous high point. A breakout without volume is likely to be wrong. An approach could be to enter a SuperTrend long signal, only if we can observe higher high and higher low and to filter that with the volume. If the volume is above its average at the time of the signal, we can open a long trade. ConclusionTrend following is one of the easiest things to implement in the trading world. However, the key to success will again lie in your creativity and rigorous backtesting. Follow your strategy once it is confirmed, and don’t succumb to FOMO!

How to trade in a range? - 4C Trading. Last week we discussed trend trading, and now you know that this is one of the easiest ways to trade. This week we’re going to discuss its opposite, range trading. How to trade in a range? It’s a little more complicated, are you ready? Let’s get started! What is a trading range? The financial markets have two major states, they either move in a trend, it can be bullish with a series of higher highs and higher lows. On the other hand, the prices can also move in a downward trend. However, you will agree that this would be a bit too easy. It would be enough to start shorting on the first lower high. A good part of the time, the markets also move flat, in range trading. A current example of this was the evolution of BTC between 33k and 46k. Trading ranges are often periods of distribution or accumulation. After an uptrend, prices will tend to move into a range, which corresponds to a distribution phase. Conversely, after a downtrend, there may be an accumulation phase, with large hands refilling their portfolios before the uptrend resumes. How to trade in a range? It is possible to use another trading system, such as an oscillator-based system. Oscillators work very well during a trading range, and it is best to buy the low end of the range and sell the high end. However, this requires more practice and is a strategy best used by experienced traders. You need to be even more careful to avoid making mistakes that could cost you dearly. You can see an example of a range trade below. We clearly see that the oscillators coincide with the approach of the support or resistance. However, before we can trade, these must first be established, and then we enter the second key. There is a multitude of strategies that work in range trading and we have deliberately given a simple example here. As with any other strategy, preparation, backtesting, and self-control will remain the main factors for success. ConclusionPrior to making your next trading move, it is important to have a clear understanding of which phase the market is at, based on the time frame that you plan to trade. Range trading can be more complicated than a trend-following system, remember that no matter what strategy you use, the hardest part will be applying your plan to the letter and therefore controlling your emotions.

What is a trend reversal in crypto trading? - 4C Trading. What is a trend ? To understand what a trend reversal is, we must first start by defining a trend. Simply put, a trend is a series of lower and higher lows and higher and higher highs as we can see on the chart just below. Conversely, a downtrend is a sequence of lower and lower lows and lower and lower highs as we can see in the chart below. What is a trend reversal? We now know how to determine the existence of a trend and it’s not that complicated, right? Well, for a trend reversal to occur, prices must also follow a few simple rules. In the case of an uptrend in place :– Prices fail to register a higher high, which results in a lower high. – Prices register a lower low. If we have one of these two characteristics, we still can’t draw a conclusion even if they are good clues for the future, we have to wait for the confirmation of a lower high and a lower low to conclude that the uptrend is reversing. In the case of a downtrend :– Prices fail to register a lower low, which results in a higher low. – The prices register a higher high after the higher low. As with the uptrend reversal, we cannot rely on only one of the two characteristics. What are the clues? As I said above, even if it is necessary to wait for confirmation to declare a trend reversal, there are several clues that we can use to guide us on how to proceed while waiting for the reversal. The Japanese CandlesticksJapanese candlesticks are the most classic way to represent stock prices. They can take different forms and will therefore have a different meaning. The hammer, which is characterised by a long wick and a smaller body can indicate an imminent bullish reversal. This will of course not be enough but it can prevent us from opening a new short position if we are waiting for a bullish reversal to be confirmed. FibonacciFibonacci levels are also very useful tools to help us detect reversals. Indeed, it is not uncommon to see a last low before reversal around the 61. 8% Fibonacci reversal. As with candlesticks, this should be used as a cautionary measure until a reversal is confirmed. ConclusionIs there a better way to trade crypto? And not have to worry about trend reversals? Let’s face it: staring at the screen all day and night is not the way to live, no matter how much money you can make from trading.

How to choose the right type of crypto trading bots - 4C Trading. You’ve done your research and you want to give crypto trading bots a try but where do you start from? Which type of trading bots should you go with? Are there differences between the different types of crypto trading bots? And what about the difficulty levels? Are they all as easy to use as they appear to be? You’ve come to the right place—that’s what we will be discussing today. Let’s take a deeper look at the four most common types of crypto trading bots and which one may suit your needs and goals. Different crypto trading bots for different usagesBefore we go further, it’s important to understand that behind every trading bot, there is a pre-programmed strategy—artificial intelligence or algorithms, a set of parameters or rules, to help the bot determine the most opportunistic moments to execute buy and sell orders. These could range from volume, time frame and various other market conditions. There are several types of algorithms and not all of them are suitable for everyone. Indeed, some algorithms are more recommended if you are just starting out in trading and especially so if you do not yet have complete control over your emotions. In some cases, even by using trading bots, we do not completely eliminate the need to control our emotions. Often we have seen those who decide to take things into their own hands by cutting the algorithm, temporarily or permanently. In some cases, people may even take the extreme route of exiting the market, only to return later when the market shows strength. Unfortunately, the above is often executed at the worst moment—during times of panic and stress. The lesson here? Even when you have decided to utilize trading bots to trade on your behalf, it is important to not let your emotions take over the control and coerce you into doing something which you might regret later on. Next, there are trading bots that are reserved for investment funds, such as low-latency or high-frequency trading strategies, which rely on extremely fast execution, in the order of a thousandth of a second, to be profitable. Given that there are so many trading bots in the market, here are the four most common types of crypto trading bots and how to use the. DCA BotsThis type of bot has a very simple operation which makes it a great bot for beginners. Indeed, DCA simply stands for “Dollars Cost Averaging”, which means, entering a position not in one go, but by spreading the entry points so as to have a lower average price. DCA Bots are used to build longer term positions, to help you not miss that famous dip! This type of algorithm is beginner friendly, in the sense that it doesn’t strain your nerves, if you accept that you are more into investing and not short term trading. Instead of monitoring the market every single moment for dips or opportunities to buy, the DCA Bots will help you execute the order without you having to lift a linger. Long / short botHere we enter a rather broad category of strategies, which apply for the most part to futures, even if we can have a mix between spot and futures strategies, be long spot and short futures for optimal hedging. Long/short algorithms can take the form of a trend-following system, which will then aim to capture a direction and hold on to it as long as possible. This type of bots remains accessible for beginners, even if we are in a slightly less long-term perspective, and the expected drawdown can sometimes be quite high. We can also find mean-reverting algorithms, which unlike trend-following, will rely on the assumption that after a bullish or bearish excess, prices will automatically tend towards their average. This type of strategy is rather contrarian and therefore more recommended for the more experienced. Arbitrage BotsThis category of bots is reserved for more experienced users, as its design requires a more advanced knowledge of the mechanisms of trading platforms. As you know if you have already opened several trading platforms, the prices tend to be the same but there are differences. An arbitrage bot will then use these differences to take advantage of them. In a deliberately simplified way, it will buy on one exchange to sell on another and pocket the difference. Market Making BotsMarket making bots are again reserved for more experienced traders, and their goal is often to take advantage of a spread between the bid and ask price. However, market making bots can be used to reduce this spread by bringing liquidity to the market, which is often the case on exchange platforms, or for a new crypto project. You can’t launch a project without securing the services of a market maker. ConclusionThe above four most common types of crypto trading bots are the most popular amongst retail traders and investors of all levels, from beginner to advanced. Once you have decided on the type of crypto trading bots to trade with, the next thing you will have to consider is your trading capital and diversification. It is worth mentioning that rule number one in trading and investing: only do so with your disposable income. In other words, it’s “money that you can afford to lose”. Next comes the part subject of diversification. Instead of having all your funds in one bot, it is wise to spread them across different bots with different risk levels. A good indication to gauge the risk levels is of course, the percentage of drawdown. Next, consider the exchange that the crypto trading bots trade on. Given that Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is one of the hottest trends in finance and poised to grow even bigger in 2022 and beyond, finding crypto trading bots that trade on DeFi is definitely worth exploring, if you have not done so. Superbots is a good place to start. Currently in beta version and six bots that trade exclusively on DeFi, the crypto trading bots are already showing signs of powerful performance. Its ETH Infinity bot made +30% in just February 2022 alone, closing the month with spectacular results. And the icing of the cake? There are no fees to pay when using the bots! You only pay a performance fee when the bots make profit. With thousands of traders and investors already on board using the bots to trade, you don’t one to be the last or worse, get left behind! Join the Superbost adventure today and be part of DeFi. As Elon Musk’s famous tweet said “Don’t defy DeFi”.

Secrets to trading success revealed! - 4C Trading. How to find the right Swings? Most of the time, prices of any negotiable value fluctuate within a certain range. On the stock market, it is often said that the market varies up to 80% of the time. To look for potential trading opportunities, one approach is to first look at your charts in one of the longest periods, for example the daily period or the 4-hour period. Once you have identified a promising position, move to a shorter period, such as the one-hour period, to look for specific entry opportunities. In general, there are three important factors to consider when looking for an entry as a swing trader:1- Fluctuations should occur in the same general direction as the trend that is emerging in the highest time frames. 2- If you exchange cryptos, look for momentum in pairs that share similar characteristics to the one you exchange. For example, if you are considering exchanging a privacy crypto like Dash, the idea is to see how other coins like Monero or Zcash do. 3- Carefully assess the trend. Is it getting stronger or weaker? A downward trend could mean that it is about to change direction, while an upward trend could mean the opposite. Another question is whether the volume of transactions still supports this trend? Upward trends with a gradual increase in volume are considered to be the most robust. As swing traders, we have to be aggressive when we detect good opportunities. You can’t afford to miss out on good opportunities. Make sure you earn enough on your good trades to compensate for the inevitable losses that will result. Similarly, a swing trader must also know when to stay out of the market. It is just as important to recognize the conditions that keep you away as it is to be aggressive in the right conditions. Finally, remember the words of the legendary trader Jesse Livermore: “There is a time to go long, a time to go short, and a time to go fishing. ”ConclusionSometimes there is just no way to anticipate what lies ahead no matter how bullish the momentum may be. Take for instance, the recent dip that resulted since November 2021—after multiple rejections of attempting to break out of the $38K level, BTC is still not giving up! The route to $100K BTC is indeed paved with unforeseen challenges but certainly we will get there!

Automated Trading

Unlike holding or hodling crypto which is a one-way traffic, trading allows you to make money from the crypto market in bear and bull trends. In short, you will not be crippled by the market trends. However, It is also true that trading is one of the hardest skills to master when it comes to making money and it requires time and effort but not impossible!

For those who are willing to invest the right resources to trade their way to success, besides gains, trading actually rewards you with a high level of fulfillment and achievement that money cannot buy!

If you do not have the time, knowledge or experience to trade, there is good news! You can either start by taking a trading course such as the one offered by 4C Learning or use a crypto trading tool to help you buy and sell, round the clock; such as the SMART Bots by 4C Trading.

In trading, there are broadly two ways to do so: manual and automated trading. With manual trading, that is taking control into your own hands—you decide how and when to trade. With automated trading, you will be relying on trading bots that are programmed with trading algorithms to decide when to buy and sell based on a set of conditions that are pre-programmed. The latter is what the 4C SMART Bots do – simplify crypto trading through automated buying and selling to suit all levels of traders and investors. It should be used as a passive income tool to help you accumulate gains.

Manual Trading

As we mentioned above, trading gives you the option to maximize profits from the crypto market regardless if it’s a bull or bear trend. Take for example, the current state of the crypto market is seen as boring with BTC hovering around the $38K region for a while now. However, for the skilled traders and investors, there are pockets of opportunities in between these times and volatility is a good thing because where there is volatility, there is money to be made.

If manual trading is what you are interested in, then for sure honing in on your technical analysis is a must! There is lots of research and studies to be done here. Alternatively, you can follow the 4C’s Traders Trade Signals – manual crypto trading signals in the premium 4C-Trading Telegram Channel, Trade Room. Follow these signals posted in the Trade Room channel and manually execute your trades. This is a good start for the beginner to intermediate traders.

The Traders Trade Signals are a free feature of all SMART Bots paid subscription packs. At 4C-Trading, our aim is to simplify crypto trading for people of all levels through a suite of tools to complement automated and manual crypto trading.

There are two ways to access the crypto signals for free if you don’t have a paid SMART Bots subscription. You can either sign up for the 14-day free trial at no cost or enter our social media contest and win 3 months of free SMART Bots subscription here.

Staking

Next option, you can choose to stake your crypto. How does it work, you may wonder? In a nutshell, it’s quite simple, you just have to block funds (USDT, BTC, ETH or other) for a determined period of time and collect the interest. ETH 2.0 and ADA are good examples of the above.

Take Ethereum Staking as an example – by locking an amount of ETH for a specific period of time, you’ll be contributing to the security of the Ethereum blockchain and in return, earn network rewards.

Can you make good profits from staking? The answer depends on how much you’re investing and the time horizon you allocate to it.

Is it safe? Just like every investment type, there is always a certain amount of risk involved. Having said that, with cold staking you can stake your crypto using a hardware wallet or another cold wallet. The advantage of this is that the funds are safe because the wallet is not connected to the internet. You need physical access to your wallet to manage the funds.
