## Read the chart by colour
Yellow marks the entry, red the stop loss, green the take profit. No numbers needed, the lines carry the whole plan.

> Entry point: yellow Stop loss: red Take profit: green
## Leverage by asset class
Crypto gets 5x to 20x. Commodities, stocks, indices and forex go 20x to 100x, which says a lot about expected volatility.

> Leverage x 5-10-20 for crypto
## Cap the damage at 5%
Margin stays at 1 to 5 percent, and no more than 5 percent goes into any one trade or all trades combined.

> Invest only what you can afford to lose, as no one is in control of the market.
## How the setups are found
Breakouts off ascending and descending trend lines plus horizontal levels, patterns like head and shoulders or triangles, confirmed by at least two indicators.

> We associate at least two indicators with this technique.
## Losses are part of it
The provider admits to taking stops like everyone else, and says you can exit early or late if you are happy with the result.

> No one can promise to win every trade.
## Key takeaway

Colour-coded entry, stop and target are the easy part. Position size and accepted losses are what keep you in the game.
