I had a really easy BTC trade today. Was a little experimental so I kept the risk low. This is the setup. I just closed it.
I was trying to trade BTC off of the high timeframe AVWAP around the pivot but noticed I kept getting shaken out and gave back some profit from other big moves. Late in a period of consolidation, it gets more obvious that there is a move coming, so instead of gambling or stressing over holding a position, I just set some risk (~$60) on a buy stop limit order at an area that was a clear breakout. It could have failed but the RR was good. I still closed it as an intraday trade in the last hour of NYSE, maybe would have been better to hold this one, but I’m a day trader and I don’t like to gamble or keep risk open. Was only a half BTC, but was a nice clean 0 stress trade.
