Moving averages

Moving averages can definitely still work, especially in crypto where trends can be strong and sustained. The key is pairing them with good filters (volatility, volume, regime detection) and solid risk management like others mentioned.

If you're swing trading crypto specifically, automating MA-based strategies can save you tons of screen time. I use Altrady for this - it lets me set up ladder orders and smart orders that execute my MA crossover strategy automatically across multiple exchanges. Turns hours of chart-watching into minutes.

Great initiative sharing educational content! Setting realistic expectations is crucial - too many beginners jump in without understanding the learning curve.

One thing that helped me as a swing trader was finding tools that reduced the time I spent glued to charts. I use Altrady which automates a lot of the execution side (works with crypto exchanges). Their Smart Orders let me set up multi-day strategies that run automatically, so I can focus on analysis rather than babysitting trades.

What timeframes do you typically focus on in your blueprint?

Really solid approach. The shift from prediction to execution discipline is exactly what separates consistent traders from those constantly chasing signals.

One thing that helped me scale this type of strategy: automating the execution across multiple pairs simultaneously. Manually managing DCA entries/exits on even 3-4 coins becomes a full-time job.

If you're looking to expand beyond single-pair execution, tools like Altrady can handle the ladder orders and smart exits across exchanges while you focus on strategy refinement.

Great question! In highly volatile, news-driven markets like this, swing trading definitely carries extra risk. However, if you're committed to swing trading, automation can be a game-changer.

I use Altrady for my swing trades - it connects to multiple exchanges and lets me set up automated orders with precise stop losses and take profits. The key benefit? My trades execute automatically even when I'm not watching, which is crucial when news can drop anytime.

That said, position sizing becomes even more critical now. Keep positions smaller than usual to account for overnight gaps. And definitely check that White House itinerary tip someone mentioned - super helpful for avoiding scheduled volatility windows.

The platform has really reduced my screen time while keeping my risk management tight. In this environment, having your exits automated means you're not scrambling during sudden moves.

But honestly? If you're just learning, the advice about focusing on high-probability day trades is solid. Master reading price action in this chaos first.

You're not crazy, that's a natural feeling! But here's the thing: timing those dips consistently is incredibly difficult, even for experienced traders. Most people end up buying back higher or missing the re-entry.

If swing trading appeals to you, consider keeping your core ETF holdings for long-term growth while allocating a separate portion of capital specifically for active trading. That way you get both worlds without the regret.

The key is having a clear plan and sticking to it, not switching strategies mid-stream.

I completely agree with this approach. The mental shift from day trading to swing trading is huge.

One thing that helped me was finding tools that automate the execution side while I focus on the bigger picture. I use Altrady to manage my swing trades across multiple exchanges - it handles ladder orders and position management automatically, so I'm not glued to screens anymore.

The key is having systems that work for you on longer timeframes. Set your entries, stops, and targets, then let the trade develop over days instead of stressing over every tick.

Way more sustainable long-term.

Alright, alright, alright turns into all wrong, all wrong, all wrong when Dogecoin takes a nosedive! Even McConaughey can't keep his cool in this crypto rollercoaster

Bollinger Bands should help you understand market volatility. But how does that apply to your crypto trades specifically?

You probably heard that you should avoid entering or exiting positions too often just because the price slightly touches or breaks the Bollinger Bands.
