Short the LDO perp
Roddy01SIGNALSPROVIDER posted a short on LDO against Tether, traded as a perpetual future on MEXC. The whole call lives on one marked-up chart.
Read the colors first
Three colors carry the entire trade plan. Yellow marks where you get in, red is the line where you are wrong, green or blue is where you take money off.
“Entry point: yellow Stop loss: red Take profit: green or blue”
Leverage depends on the asset
Crypto gets 5x to 20x. Commodities, stocks, indices and forex get 20x to 100x, because those markets move in smaller percentage steps.
“Leverage x 5-10-20 for crypto”
Cap the damage at 5%
Margin stays between 1 and 5 percent. No more than 5 percent of your capital on a single trade, or across every open trade at once.
“Invest only what you can afford to lose, as no one is in control of the market.”
How the calls get made
Trend line breaks in both directions plus horizontal levels, then pattern reads like head and shoulders, triangles and Elliott impulses, confirmed by at least two indicators.
“We associate at least two indicators with this technique.”
Stops get hit, and that is fine
The poster is blunt that losing trades happen to everyone and the goal is only to win more than you lose. TradingView adds that none of this counts as financial advice.
“No one can promise to win every trade, and like all traders worldwide, we also experience stop-loss orders.”
What matters most
The chart is the easy part. The position size and the stop are what decide whether you survive the trade.
