so I just started trading crypto a month ago with a ton of free time on my hands currently so I’ve dedicated the past 30 days to learning this craft. everyday I’m watching videos, learning new things and solidifying the things I’ve learned. I’ve began applying it to the charts and thought I was starting to understand how the market moves
I have manually backtested market structure, s/d, fvgs + ifvg, liquidity sweeps but when I apply it to real time they fail. I stick to my rules for certain strategies and still get stopped out.
Im sticking to btc and hype rn to learn how they move
one of my strategies involves a liquidity sweep of a key lvl delivered from a 15min or 1hr fvg, then a 1min ifvg to get respected followed by a market shift/choch
another one is a breakout retest of a consolidation zone waiting for a breakout candle to form an fvg then price taps into the fvg/consolidation zone then continues
all of these scenarios and price still goes the opposite direction. It’s all starting to feel like a waste of time. when I lose I don’t revenge trade or even get fomo anymore. and after 2-3 losses in a row I call it a day and just go study.
If anyone has any advice and is willing to help a little I’d really appreciate it.
