EOSXBT - A quick and easy swing trade

Short
BITMEX:BEOSXBT   EOS Token
BEOSXBT has reached a consistent line of resistance. At this falling trend line, the bears have been able to sell off and bring price back down to lowering support levels within the downwards channel. Not a whole lot of theorizing to be done. A simple, profitable trade.

Many traders will overwhelm you with too many indicators. Most of these are useless. In this trade, the only objects that hold relevance are the trend lines (upwards wedge within the bearish channel) and the stochastic measure. The stochastic is in an overbought range and when we see a crossing, that is a sign that further sell off is coming.

The first profit target is placed at the bottom of the ascending wedge (shown in red). At this point, profits should be taken on 50% of the position. The rest should be held as we expect further downside once the wedge breaks and the sellers can bring the price down further without support.

A trailing stop loss should also be put into place. Once we see price reach the first profit level and 1/2 of the position is sold, a new stop loss should be set at the point where the position was opened.

These strategies are used to maximize profits and to consistently be able to take some profits, no matter what the market does.
