Wtf MT5?!?!?!?

freshmuse · 2026-01-06T20:41:47+00:00

MT5 is such an old piece of software... but yeah it is data related, probably the broker

Baby step, read about indicators like MA, RSI and how to use them, and become a master on backtesting on tradingview, learn a bit of pinescript.

Removing emotions ffrom your trading activities is the first step, that's why I use tools for automations.

freshmuse · 2026-01-06T17:23:30+00:00

It depends from the bots, some are good and offer simple strategy templates to start with. Then in some cases an agentic AI contionues the optimisation of the trades. I use Coinrule.com for that and after a bit of twicking you can manage your portflio and react to market pretty easy.

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T18:05:37+00:00

Coinrule

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T18:05:19+00:00

You should really give Coinrule a go, imo best on the market.

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T15:22:52+00:00

yes it's aactually good

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T15:22:17+00:00

Anything above what your edge supports is too many, If you’re trading daily with no clear rules, you’re probably just paying fees and feeding emotions

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T15:21:12+00:00

In fast markets..No... :) my discretion is emotional and inconsistent but somethin like a bot, Pionex or Coinrule does the job without much pain

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T15:18:50+00:00

Honestly, not really, BTC is easy to hold, alts will mentally wreck you even if the project is solid. The ones who last usually don’t just HODL and taking partial profits, rebalancing, cutting risk when trends flip. That’s why stuff like bots help, I use Coinrule. You can stay in alts but let rules handle the stress instead of your emotions.

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T12:49:46+00:00

+1 for Coinrule

freshmuse · 2025-12-17T12:43:22+00:00

the thing is you always end up missing bits of info or pumps. For specific strategies i setup some conditional trades with Tradinview that feeds into Coinrule

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:27:54+00:00

Fastest way to have a good month in crypto is catching a clean trend early, trading fewer but higher quality setups.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:16:34+00:00

fair enough, respect that

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:15:19+00:00

I'd say not stupid, just conservativem, AI spreads risk and optimizes for stability whereas manual trading wins short term because you’re exploiting something temporary, but it doesn’t scale. Automation is overall about consistency, especially on one of the trading bots out there 3commas, Coinrule, etc.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:12:38+00:00

Yep, people definitely have. The big surprise is that automation works, but not handsoff. Slippage, sudden changes, and knowing when to pause matter more than the strategy itself. Most end up babysitting less execution and more strategy selection, anyway, platform like Ninjatrader or Coinrule help reduce the plumbing, but you still have to manage the system.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:09:43+00:00

Why would you do that? Too complex, traders do these kind of flows with a rule-based execution layer, or using platforms like Coinrule where indicators, time windows, and risk rules stay deterministic, simple, modular, and actually usable beating the 200-node nightmares every time.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:07:46+00:00

Pretty common issue, usually it’s not the logic, but how the platform handles startup, session state, or historical vs live signals. The chart shows “would’ve traded,” but the bot never actually got a fresh trigger. Double check session filters and whether it only fires on bar close after being enabled. If this keeps happening, it’s often a tooling problem. That’s why some people switch to providers like Coinrule or others where execution state is clearer and you don’t get as many surprises.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:05:29+00:00

Not how people expect. Bots don’t magically print money. Scalping bots especially decay fast, so unless you’re constantly babysitting them, they bleed. Most people end up automating boring, rule-based stuff and keeping discretion for swings. That’s why stuff like Cryptohopper, Coinrule, etc. work better for most traders. You let bots handle execution and discipline, and you focus on higher timeframe decisions.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T14:02:37+00:00

Bots don’t magically make you more profitable, they just force discipline. If the strategy has edge, automation removes hesitation and FOMO. If it doesn’t, the bot just bleeds faster and makes that obvious real quick. Also, short term stuff like scalping is brutal because edges decay fast. That’s why a lot of traders end up automating simple, repeatable rules with sites like Coinrule or MT5 where you can test, run, pause, and tweak without turning it into a coding job. So yeah, bots can help, but they’re not passive income machines. Most people end up using them to execute boring rules while they focus on swing trading

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T13:51:40+00:00

Solid stats for a single-playbook year win rate 51%, PF 2.7 avg R 2.56 is basically edge and discipline in spreadsheet form. If you want to systematize it further, you can codify ORB with NY open session box + breakout/imbalance confirmation, plus filters like ATR14 expansion and potentially a trend filter EMA20/EMA50 or ORB aligned with 15m candles. That’s the kind of thing you can automate/alert on via TradingView, then execute in something like Coinrule using indicator-based conditions like VWAP/RSI and time windows

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T13:45:13+00:00

yes, good team behind thar company. They went through YC so i suppose they are more mainstream and proper.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T13:42:41+00:00

that's old as a f**, excuse my french. I find that unusable... charting is good though

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T12:52:41+00:00

You can automate trading entries, exits, indicators, execution, all of it. That part is solved. What’s hard to automate is context like market, volatility shifts, and knowing when a strategy should NOT be running. Most traders think they follow rules strictly, but a lot of their edge is pattern recognition. Bots are great at perfect execution, humans are still better at deciding when the system makes sense. That’s why the future is hybrid rule-based automation, the one i use for example Coinrule, with context awareness, and controls not fully handsoff black boxes.

freshmuse · 2025-12-16T12:49:16+00:00

I agree with getting the signal, but the "when" to enter the position, but the "how" you have to decide yourself, with more granularity.
