MANAGING THE STRESS OF TRADING
If you are thinking to become a Full Time Trader you need to understand the physical and psychological stresses that the market brings to you!
If you want to be a successful trader you need to CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS, this is the key. You have to figure out a way to manage your reactions to the market OR trading is NOT for you. If you panic, you will no longer be trading to win, but trading not to lose. Not to lose is of course important but you need to understand that there is always a RISK to take when opening a trade and you must accept losses, learn from it and keep going. If your goal is not to lose, you won't take appropriate RISK. Knowing the emotions that affect trading and having some ways to manage them can improve your overall performance.
Everyone experiences different emotions while trading and I would like to list the most common ones:
😰** ANXIETY**: The anticipation of things going wrong. You might hesitate and miss a market move or you might hold too long on a losing position because you are worried about the effect that selling it will have on your portfolio. Focus on your trading plan, not on making a set amount of money.
🤑 GREED: The opposite of anxiety. When you get Greedy you might do stupid things. You don't think anymore, you only see money and you stop following your trading plan. You hold positions too long in the hope of making a massive return or you FOMO into a coin that is pumping, fear of missing the opportunity. Greed will make you rush into trades and make terrible decisions, you will then lose discipline first and then lose all your money.
😭 FEAR: It's probably the worst between the emotions. Fearful traders trade not to lose money. You are afraid to enter trades because you are worried about what will happen if you lose that trade. This is an emotion that might stop you to become a successful trader. You need to figure out a strategy for it. The best one I suggest you is to TRADE HOW MUCH YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE. Think about what will happen if you lose a certain amount of money and trade accordingly.
😐 BOREDOM: Some days the market can be really boring. Nothing is moving and your "Making Money" Mentality might make you do something stupid. When you feel bored and there isn't really much to trade, TAKE A BREAK. Close your positions, relax and be PATIENT. Opportunities will come. Not every day is GOLD especially in Crypto.
🤒 DEPRESSION: This is a very severe one. Many story tales I heard about Traders falling into deep Depression. The Ups and Downs of the Market can really hit us. Especially if you do this FULL TIME, it can be though to be in a long BEAR market. In Crypto this is more than real. We can see coins go up 3000% in 2 months and then 90% crashes few months later. If you do not use good strategies to manage your Capital, if you do not take profits out often and you do not manage all the above Emotions... Depression can HIT you hard. This is a 24h market so there's always an opportunity to make money and this could drive you NUTS! Remember: Successful traders have a life outside of the market. Manage your RISK, believe in your trading plan and set specific hours when you should trade. When time is over, close your Laptop, go out enjoy your family and friends and ENJOY LIFE.
Find your way to MANAGE all the above emotions and you will become a better trade!

Well the eve of new year is here. I know you all have been waiting eagerly for the coin of the year but I might have to inform you we might see some big move coming up for Bitcoin. My "insiders" tell me that there could be a dramatic drop followed by a good run up.
And mind me when I say dramatic it's a big move. I suggest setting up lower buys at low leverage and close all high leveraged trades.

It's a new year and the market is going sideways. A typical day in the crypto sphere. We decided why not use this opportunity to teach you all about one of most important aspects of being a day trader.
Keep in mind that if you use a position size for your trades, RISKING only 1% of your Portfolio per trade aiming for a RISK:REWARD of 1:3, your Breakeven Win Rate is 25%...
This means that you can actually lose 75 times out of 100 trades and win only 25 without being in loss. You would break even.
If you improve your win ratio to 50 winning trades out of 100 (still aiming for 1:3 R:R) and lose same amount of trades (50), you will still double up your portfolio which will be 100% up!!!
Let's do the math (this is not a compound strategy example):
My portfolio is worth $10,000. I want to make 100 trades with R:R=1:3 so 1% RISK ($100) to win 3 times REWARD ($300).
First 50 trades are winners then the other 50 trades are losers.
👑 Portfolio = $10,000
😁 50 win trades * $300 = $15,000
😪 50 losers trades * $100 = -$5,000
🤑 $10,000+$15,000-$5000= $20,000 (My portfolio is now 100% UP and I lost 50 trades out of 100!!!)
Learning Outcome: Losing a trade is NOT the end of the world if you are following a plan with a risk management and a position sizing strategy!

MARKET ANALYSIS Continuing the currwnt bearish trend i think we might see adip towards the $3610 levels as we enter into 2019. I reccomend opening shorts keeping in mind the Risk : Reward Ratio. https://www.tradingview.com/x/2dZoz3x5/
As expected we did take a dip. Shorts well fired. Update stop loss to ensure safe profits.
Potato's Portfolio
First day of the year and I have decided to show you some diversified portfolios that you can consider imitating.
Bitcoin - 25%
Experts will argue on this one because most reccommeded having at least one-third of the portfolio in BTC but as I said we have a bear year at hand and I expect lower lows to come.
Ethereum - 10%
This giant isn't dead yet. The upgrades in protocol Buterin has promised surely makes it worth holding.
Dollar - 15%
Now you probably would wanna laugh at my face for having fiat in the portfolio. But I have a strong feeling that the first quarter will be bearish so it's best to keep adding in the dip.
Binance coin - 10%
Do you actually need an explanation for this? Bish it's the coin of the year
Waves - 10%
This coin has been all over the news lately and purely for good reasons. The platform coin has a bright year ahead.
Tron - 10%
Tron has had to face a shot ton of memes but Justin Sun has proved that he is here to stay. The uTorrent and all amazing updates he has been sending in has surely given the token a boost. 2019 seems to be a prominent year for this one.
Polymath - 5%
Security tokens are on the rise but this one has always caught the attention of the critics. Only because of its tireless team who have done great at the protocol.
Wanchain - 5%
Now I might be slightly biased towards this one. But which community wouldn't like a team that completes roadmap in time? They have always kept up with the promises and a hell lot of amazing things ahead for them.
Ripple - 5%
The bankster's coin. I know it's centralized and other things but with the amount of acceptance it has gained with the big wigs toy surely wouldn't wanna miss this pick.
Stellar - 5%
Yeah I do have a soft corner for this one. They have an amazing project that has huge potential only because of the technology they are adopting. Also they have lately been in a lot of talks by the Silicon Valley.
Absolutely Mashed Baby!

Ripple 4H Long Call
Ripple has shown great stability as compared to the other alts in the top 10 and has also come in great news with Visa taking over Ripple's Partner.
Going by the chart I see that the 50 MA and the 100 MA could have a cross in a couple of hours and in turn make a bullish swing. We have some overhead resistance at the 40 cents mark.
MACD is also showing bullish divergence. All in all it seems to be a bullish scenario. Load in the LONGS and ensure you keep the R:R in mind.

Ethereum has no stopping Binance just confirmed they will be supporting the fork. What's better? Also the chart looks juicy AF. Looks like $150 was a joke. I see an Elliott Wave that extends to $215 levels you better know what we are looking at.
Well it did turn out to be a joke. We did exceptional on this trade.
You surely loved the timing didn't you? Let's not get greedy and push stops higher

Market Analysis
Now at this point of time I would say it's a rekt rekt situation. No clear bull or bear. Either was if you long the manipulation will probably kick you out and have a bad trade, If you were to short you would regret the scammy Bitmex making a short squeeze.
Here at Hashed Plutus we look for safe trades. Not just random calls. We care for your funds as much as we do for ours.
Hence I call this a NO TRADE ZONE.
Stay safe.

EOS/USD 4H Consolidating
The EOS team would've be on cloud nine when when the Chinise analysis from a centralized source gave them the best platform rating and ranked them over Ethereum.
As for the charts there seems to be consolidation on the 4 hour time frame. We have seen a nice bounce from the 50 MA and are sticking well between $1.80 and $3.40. We can see that once we break from the Triangle in the upward direction we can see a nice bull run set up for EOS. There are a lot of supports in the bottom and minimalistic resistance at higher levels.
Thus once bullish is confirmed we could possibly rally near $5.
