Sell target is: 2380 for 5% profit
Stop loss: 2150

A little bit of a pullback here, this is ok as long as we can get a bounce up from trend here (ema8, blue line)

Comment

ADA has been steadily increasing, slowly approaching the sell target.

Comment

I just want take this opportunity to give out a suggestion that I often use. I entered this ADA trade at 2265 satoshi and soon after the price instantly had a run up. What I like to do in these situations is move my Stop loss up to my buy in price or a bit above my buy in price.
I do this because:
#1 If the current run losses momentum, more times than not the target will not be reached soon. I would rather use these funds to move onto another trade.
#2 By moving the stop loss up to my buyin price, or slightly above, I risk none of my own money and still have potential to make profit.
#3 I'm happier with a dead trade than a losing trade.

My stop is now moved up to 2265

Trade closed manually

My new stop was hit for no loss. It's a shame because I came so close to the target.

Trade cancelled. I will look for a new opportunity tomorrow.

Comment

ADA came back and hit the sell target. Maybe I should of not moved my stop? No regrets.

IF BTC breaks 6800 I'm positive you will hit your target.

I can see the light! I was able to buy in a bit lower after the dip so my sell is 2357 sats. Using 3commas for the first time ever on this trade as well. what a treat.
Cheers and good luck!

@CraftDGuy, I also use 3commas. Do you put a trailing take profit on?
CraftDGuy
@Bradleyrb, Yes, first time doing that and first time using a trailing stop loss on binance. Slept easy last night
Bradleyrb
@CraftDGuy, yeah man tell me about it. Just beware on smaller profit % trades. If you want to make say 5%, like on this trade and you set your TTP at 1%, it will initiate the TTP when you hit 5%. But that means your TTP is starting on 4%. If the trade goes up more than 1%, then you will get your 5% plus. But if it starts coming down, you will get 4% or less. And minus another 0.5% for the fee. Don't get me wrong, it works well most of the time. It just turns on you from time to time.

@Bradleyrb, Very good to know, thanks.
