Inside of this structure, I have placed many successful trades. I have made money during this range. Most people in crypto are obsessed with one question. Is Bitcoin in a bull market or is Bitcoin in a bare market? But the real question you should be asking yourself is actually much simpler. Did you make money? Because the truth is markets go up and markets go down and sometimes they go nowhere for months. And if your entire strategy depends on being right about the overall direction, you're putting yourself at a huge disadvantage.
You are leaving money on the table. So, if you want to make more money in crypto, you need to have a trading strategy. Now, besides altcoin daily, who are the quality accounts to follow? Well, let me recommend to you a hidden gem trading account in the space. Sometimes the biggest alpha comes from the smallest accounts. Not that 100K is small by any means, but I predict these guys have a lot of room to grow because hardly anybody knows about them, but I've been following for quite some time and they put out great TA content. Who else loves finding hidden gem accounts before the general public? But now I'm very interested in longs. And yes, I did jump into a long
at $64,000 100 more give or take. I did jump into a long. Position is protected. But I think what's most important is I've already taken 50% profits. That's just how I trade. Position is protected because I know that there's a chance that the low could be swept again and I don't want to be stopped out with no profits. That's not how I trade. Okay? I'll I'll explain you on the smaller time frames how I got into that trade. So, if you want to make money trading Bitcoin, I highly recommend Mindpillar Markets. Why? Well, I've been following them for several months now. And this is their value prop. This is a twoman trading team. It's Andy and DeWalt. It used to just be Andy. They teamed up.
Now, it's Andy and DeWalt. These are two full-time traders who joined forces to provide structured educational market analysis on Bitcoin in the broader crypto space. They share daily technical breakdowns, chart-based insights, and trading education designed to help you better understand market behavior, risks, and execution without hype, without noise, and without unrealistic promises. I love how real and straightforward this channel is. So, let's just even focus on one of the two guys in this video. Let's focus on DeWalt. He's had some beautiful calls over the last several months as an example. Inside of this structure, I have placed many successful trades. I just want to point it out. I took a long over here and I took profits at the
highs. I also entered a short at the highs, took profits as price fell to the downside. I took another short over here. If I remember correctly, the community can correct me if I'm wrong because I posted everything inside of the community, rode the momentum to the downside, took profits from the short, I think. Then I added to my position, eventually got stopped out. Okay, I took this long, took profits here at the highs. Guys, you know, I have made money during this range. So, it's not to say that I'm going to go through the larger time frames that Dealt is just bullish. He's only looking for longs or develop is just bearish. He's only looking for shorts. No, guys, I trade the structure.
I've placed longs and I've placed shorts. So, the reason that I knew over the last several months that this was the bottom and this was a bullish consolidation and most likely Bitcoin was going to break up from here was because of DeWalt on Mind Pillar Markets. But again, understand this. It's not really about was this the bottom, was this not the bottom. It's about making money within the range. If you're a trader, you need to play the charts not what you wish would happen. You need to play the charts as they are and practice proper risk management along the way. You can make money whether the price goes up or down. And for this reason, this is why I really like DeWalt. He teaches you in real time
how to set up stop losses. He takes the time to teach you how to lock in profit. If price is going to accelerate to the upside, that is where I would put my stop-loss. me I okay I'm not a financial adviser remember guys okay and my trading scenario or my trading would look something like this so maybe you enter a little bit late I will target the first major resistance zone to the upside and that is your stop loss okay risk-to-reward is 2.4 four. So, it meets my minimum requirement and you let the trade play out. Okay, so there's your first trading opportunity here live in the live stream. Okay, maybe I should take this trade, guys. Maybe I should take this trade here on BTCC because I'm not in a trade here on BTCC.
Okay, it's I'm just going to use Whis Capital. It's It's just not I would have liked to enter a little bit lower. Um what is my leverage? 20. Okay, let's open a small little position over here. So, obviously I watch his regular videos, but then in addition, when he's not streaming, he has trading groups where he keeps his community informed on what direction the market's moving and what you might want to do to benefit. Here you can see inside his trading group, he kept people informed on his trade, saying, "I'm not planning to add to my position. I did take profits when the price tapped the 382. Next profit- takingaking area is 0.5 Fibonacci at around 75,200.
Here he is in his group highlighting a short for the bears. The invalidation should not be claimed. Further confirmation that the price was moving down based on cumulative data. He writes, "Morning I see there was slight bearish CVD as price was moving up. The target is the low of the structure. The Telegram group is great for buy the second updates. Just took a little bit more profit from my short. People appreciated that. So again, whether the price is going up or down, it doesn't really matter as DeWalt is showing you what he's doing and teaching you how to short or long or cover the short or get out of the short or you know, he's teaching how to trade and make money within the trend. So here he is talking
about looking for and getting into a short. And of course, he's explaining this because he's bringing his community with him or for at least those who want to take part in the trades with him. You can trade as much or as little as you want. Obviously, he's trading on a daily basis. So, watch this and then I'll show you the next clip how successful his short was. I will let the community know if I do enter a trade here or yeah, I will let the community know if I'm in front of the chart and I do take the short because, as you can see, I'm only in a long, I'm looking for a short. I'm looking for a short to hedge against my long because I know that there's a bearish case scenario that can take us down all the way to $63,000
easy. And if I get a nice little short entry over here and price does capitulate to the downside, stops me out of my long, at least I have a short, okay, hedging against where I'm looking for my long. That's just the way that I like to trade. It's nice to have those little hedge trades. Okay, so he took the short and he continued to keep his community informed via his group and many people in his community were able to profit with him. Again, trading is all about risk management. So, I appreciate his thoughtful approach and the fact that he brings his community with him. Another example of his daily work. For those of you that took that trade with me on Friday, it played out.
Do you guys remember this trade that I spoke about in Friday's live stream? It played out. Price went higher, but my plan played out to perfection. Okay, do you guys remember we were speaking about a one two and I think price was here where I entered on BTCC and I said guys that is this low should not be claimed. If it's a double one two, you don't want that low to be claimed. Price should start accelerating to the upside which it did. Okay, so for those of you that did take the trade and for those of you that watching the stream right now that did take the trade, well, it played out to perfection. So, I just wanted to do a little bit of a recap on the trade that I took live here on my BTCC account. It played out. Okay, so I remember when
Altcoin Daily only had about 100,000 subscribers. bigger crypto channels shouted us out and it made all the difference in a pivotal point in our channel's life. So, like I said, these guys put out daily content. Give them a chance. Let's see if we can pump up their subscriber numbers. Go ahead, subscribe and actually in their next video, drop them a comment saying, "Hey, Altcoin Daily did a video on you. I'm here because of Altcoin Daily." I wish them a lot of success. You know, I've been trading more, trying to make money in the crab market, and these guys truly did help me make some profitable trades. And for that, the least I could do is shout them out, give them a sub. This is an exciting time in crypto. And I will see you tomorrow, my
