## Summary

Professional trader AJ Wrighstcrypto explains that successful trading requires patience and waiting for high-conviction setups rather than trading impulsively. He shares techniques for identifying key support/resistance levels, using confluence of indicators, and managing risk with stop-losses. The video includes a live trade demonstration on BitUnix, showing how to set alerts, use isolated margin, and trail stop-losses into profit.

### Key Points

- **Most traders lose money due to impatience** [02:11] — Most people are impatient and lack risk management. They trade on impulse instead of waiting for significant occurrences.
- **Making $100/day is possible with scalping** [03:34] — Scalping involves short trades (30 min to 2 hours) within a range. Requires tight stop-losses and clear profit targets.
- **Use TradingView for charting, not exchanges** [05:21] — All analysis should be done in TradingView. Look for confluence where multiple indicators point the same direction.
- **Algorand example: key support at $0.16** [06:04] — Every time Algorand touched $0.16, it was a buy signal. From that level, it saw gains of 103% in 53 days and 296% in 18 days.
- **Market Cipher B indicator for divergence** [07:30] — Market Cipher is a momentum oscillator combining RSI, money flow, VWAP. Divergence (price down, oscillator up) signals a potential reversal.
- **Setting price alerts in TradingView** [11:03] — Draw a trendline, right-click, select 'Add alert on trend line'. Choose 'once per bar' to get notified each time price touches the line.
- **Using isolated margin on BitUnix** [14:30] — Always use isolated margin to prevent liquidation from affecting other funds. Leverage typically 6-7x, adjust based on confidence.
- **Setting stop-losses and trailing into profit** [17:18] — Drag the stop-loss above key resistance for shorts. Instead of a take-profit, move the stop-loss into profit as the trade moves in your favor.
- **Pepe breakout example: wait for confirmation** [19:26] — Don't trade the breakout of a trendline alone; wait for price to break a key support/resistance level for confirmation. Pepe gave 18% in 16 days.
- **Vchain and Fibonacci levels for accumulation** [21:01] — Use Fibonacci retracement from swing low to high. Accumulate altcoins under the 0.618 or 0.786 level. Vchain moved 300% in 31 days from its bottom.

### Conclusion

Successful crypto trading requires patience, discipline, and a systematic approach: identify key levels, wait for confluence, set alerts, and manage risk with stop-losses. The biggest gains come from waiting for high-probability setups rather than trading every day.

trade to be found on every chart every day? Yes. But the big ones where you really multiply your money, where you turn 200,000 into a million, that happens because you're waiting for the perfect setup. Today, I sit down with
professional trader AJ writes crypto. You don't trade because you feel like it. You don't trade because you're in the mood. You trade because an alarm went off and you need to react to the market. As I continue my journey to
learn how to trade and how to win. Guess what? I'm still in the trade winning more and more and more money. AJ shares with me a few simple techniques to make a $100 a day trading crypto as well as the risks. But most people will lose
money trading. Correct. And watch today's entire video as AJ executes a live trade on camera. So now with stop losses and take profits, it's actually losses and take profits, it's actually very easy to do on Bit Unix. Sign up

just open a trade just for fun. Like the video to support me and let's start. AJ, first question to you as I continue my journey on how to trade crypto, how to get better trading crypto. Are you a successful trader? And I see on your ex
profile, you have crypto millionaire in your bio. Did you make a million dollars trading? Well, I made a million dollars as a result of crypto. Uh, you know, obviously I am a content creator. I I have uh sponsors that sponsor my
channel. I I make money through that. And I feel that that is what gave me the And I feel that that is what gave me the initial chunk starting capital that eventually snowballed into be me becoming a crypto millionaire. Um I
becoming a crypto millionaire. Um I would say once I made it to around $200,000 within three months I became a millionaire. So uh so once I got that initial chunk through trading is how I hit the million dollar mark. So yes. So,
you're a successful trader, but most people will lose money trading. Correct. people will lose money trading. Correct. Most people are impatient. And in the world of instant gratification, in the world of Tik Tok, and I want it and I
world of Tik Tok, and I want it and I want it now, they won't take the time to properly use risk management to properly set up their trades. They just look at a chart and say, "Is it going to go up or down? Let's go." Um so the the way I
trade uh which I'll get into in a minute is is really about when there is a significant occurrence that is when you should take risk. You don't take risk
just because you only take risk when there's something happens that that is like this hasn't happened in so long like this is worth rolling the dice on. And I feel that if more people could um really pick their shots, if you're
trading every single day, you're doing it wrong. You you really have to be You don't trade because you feel like it. You don't trade because you're in the mood. You trade because an alarm went off and you need to react to the
market. That makes sense to me. Like in basic terms, if it's trading between two ranges, you know, wait for the breakout, yes, but wait for the confirmation of the breakout. Most of the time you're not trading. It's just when you you say,
"Oh, I can take the risk because it hit certain metrics for me." AJ, before we get to some of this crypto strategy techniques, making $100 a day trading crypto, is that possible? It it is possible based off of your
strategy. So, it dep it depends on if you're going to be a scalp trader. And scalp trading is when you know you could be in the trade for 30 minutes to two hours. Uh where you know swing trading or intraday trading or even intrae
trading when when you're really um moving with the larger significant moving with the larger significant shifting. So if you're if you can say a coin let's say Cardono is trading inside of a 20% range for 30 days. Obviously,
the break of that range is the real trade, but if you can understand the shifts inside of it and scalp those, yes, you theoretically you could. Um, but but but that's a that's a very specific strategy. Uh, so you need to
understand going into the trade, um, you know, this is what I'm trying to accomplish. I will not be in this for weeks. I have a really tight stop-loss. Let's go for it. Um, and and I feel a lot of people get lost where, you know,
someone someone will, you know, buy $1,000 of a coin and they'll make it to 1,100 and then they'll send me a DM and be like, should I sell? And I'm like, well, what was your goal before you put that $1,000 in? So, I think a lot of it
is knowing upfront what are the terms and conditions of your trade. Let's flip the camera. Show me a couple of techniques that you use to make money in crypto as well as setting the stop- losses, setting the takeprofits. Okay,
you can see the chart. Looks great. All right, so you're going to do all of your homework inside Trading View. You're not doing your charting inside whatever exchange it is you're trading. You're doing your homework in Trading View. All
right? And so, generally, there are, you know, what you're looking for in any chart is confluence. So, if you're trading because of one indicator or because of one RSI or one volume profile or one
trade off one idea, but what you're looking for is confluence and for all of the indicator indicators to point in the same direction. So, and there's a couple ways to do this and I'm going to explain a handful of ways. So this is the chart
for Algarand and why I started with this chart is because I made a lot of money trading Algarand all based off seriously one concept plus confluence. So right one concept plus confluence. So right here all the way back in December of
2022 this massive support resistance level printed right there at 16 cents. And then every time Algoran has gone under 16 cents, every time it's gone
under 16 cents or hell, even every time it touched or retested 16 cents here, here and even more recently here, that has been the time to buy. That is the accumulation spot. I mean, look, let's look. So, from right here from 16 cents,
boom, 103% in 53 days. right here from 16 cents, boom, 296% in 18 days. When Algarand breaks 16 cents or if you can accumulate under 16 cents, you are making money. To be fair,
right now, Algarand is 22 cents. So, it is a bit above that range. Actually, if it went back to its local high, it would be 173% up. But, so, so why am I talking because it did recently have a bounce
off of 16 cents. So now we kind of want to zoom in more and investigate. If you kind of look uh here on market cipher B, I'll pull this up a little bit. You will see as the price was coming down the hill, market cipher was going up the
what is that tracking? Like market cipher tracks what? It's it's a volume. It's it's it's an oscillator. It's a it's a it's a bunch of indicators slammed into one like, you know, kind of RSI, money flow, VWOP. Um it's it's a
momentum oscillator. Okay. And and the the general takeaway is when you kind of would call this one this bigger one an would be called trigger waves. And as you can see, this is curving up and to
you can see, this is curving up and to the right as this is coming down into coming down and to the left. and and when the the the momentum oscillator is pushing up and the price is coming down, they're diverging. And that divergence
is what you're looking for. So when you kind of see all at once, remember confluence is is the combination of ideas, right? So when we kind of zoom into both we will see oh okay right here when Algarand hits 16 cents that magic
when Algarand hits 16 cents that magic number it printed this this trigger wave right here after a bull div as the money flow is you know getting less red coming into the green and right here it cleared the 50 EMA I mean that's what what those
overwhelm the audience I don't want to over complicate things I want this to be simple But not about the audience, it's about me. Keep it simple for me. That That's fair. That's fair. But I just want to say that trading you can make it
as simple as 16 cents buy. But then once it hits 16 cents, the why and the why is confluence based off of uh volume profiles, um you know, momentum oscillators such as RSIs, MACD's or something like market cipher. Um you
know, EMAs, moving averages is a big part of it too. So, kind of once you hit part of it too. So, kind of once you hit a certain level or say uh I'll explain on another chart what a conditional range is. Once you hit that alarm, I
like to go through something I like to call the confluence checklist. So, once the alarm goes off, do I trade or do I not trade? Well, let's check the everything to do with, you know, the momentum oscillator, volume profiles,
moving averages, etc. So, when you the the big deal with Algrand was hitting 16 cents. If it ever goes under 16 cents again, buy it. But in the meantime, you also want to take the patterns into consideration as well. Let's kind of
look at, okay, well, we hit this high in December. We had a touch here and we had a touch here. So, we're still in a confirmed downtrend. So, when this alarm goes off, we will be looking at, oh, wow, this alarm finally broke. But the
the thing is is that locally down here, it's been in a local uptrend. So we're we're Algran is very close to what I like to call a point of intersection where this local you know this multimonth downtrend collides with the
you know local uptrend that point of intersection would be May 6th Tuesday May 6. So in you know five six days Algarand will be forced to lose the local uptrend or break the multimonth downtrend. And that matters. You want to
put the chart in a situation where it has to break one way or the other. Breakout or rejection breakdown. Exactly. When you say alarms, is there any way to actually physically set an alarm? Oh, it's about this price. How do
you do that? So, let let's look at a Cardano chart here. All right. And there's a couple examples here. Um, so back in the day, uh, November August 24
to November 24, Cardano did something really interesting. So the this was like a perfect trade setup and I'll show you why. So right here from August to
November, it did have these kind of smaller breakouts. smaller breakouts. All right. But most of the chunk of the range, most of the time, ignoring the outliers, Cardano spent 97 days for the
most part inside of a 19% range. Anytime. And the break of this range is what I would like to call a significant occurrence. So what you do once you identify, okay, this level is extremely important, you click, you make a trend
line. So let's kind of delete the trend line. You go up here, you you click on trend line. You pull this across this way. Okay? And then you click on way. Okay? And then you click on it. Add alert on trend line right
there. If you only want it to go off one time, click only once. But if you want to leave the alarm on so it goes off anytime it comes up or down from that line, click on once per bar. I generally leave it on once per bar so I know each
way. And then you can name the trend line ADA big SR something like that. Click create and boom now we will know if that is to break. And interestingly
enough Cardono is doing something similar but not exactly for as long as it was before. So right now Cardano is in just a basic parallel downtrend from the local high back in December. Uh and then it kind of put in this little local
low. Where's my brush? right here around 50 cents. All right. And then it started Bitcoin and all the other altcoins kind of zoom in on the time frame here and kind of examine what's going on. So
and kind of examine what's going on. So this the yellow lines are the full trend or excuse me these yellow lines are the full current range of Cardano where since it has come up into this level Cardano has spent eight almost nine days
in a 12% range but the heart of this range the most of the time throughout this nine days it's really been inside of a 4% range. So trying to find the range within the range is kind of what I like to call tightening the range
because it's about a um like I said with the algoran chart is to put the chart in a situation where it has to break one way or the other. Right? So when we add in the the trend line here as well, you'll see that for Cardono to break
you'll see that for Cardono to break this support resistance level around 71 718, it will be forced to break out of this local downtrend. So I would say 718 would be a great spot to go long on on Cardano. So let's just say I I totally
understand the reasoning for this. If I wanted to go on Bit Unix and set a long and like how do I know when to set my stop losses? How do I know when to take profit? Sure, no problem. So here we are at Bit Unix as AJ shows me this trade.
Feel free to follow along with link down below and use code altcoin daily for some limited time signup bonuses. follow along with us. Sure, no problem. So, here we are at Bit Unix and generally just a rule of thumb when you come to
futures, you click down where it says ADAUSDT and you want to find coins that ADAUSDT and you want to find coins that have a lot of volume uh a lot of money trading around. If you scroll all the way down, you know, to uh Pi or Popcat,
these only have 21.21.8 million on the order book. So, if you're trying to get quickly get in and out of large positions, you want to be in an order book that has a lot of money in it, right? So, Cardano has $75
million, you're much more likely to target that coin if you're trading with a larger amount of money. Uh, this, you know, and and that's extremely important to understand that concept, especially as a beginner. So, I would say, you
know, you could comfortably get out of a $200,000 position, maybe $300,000, uh, with that order book. Uh, that's thing number one. Thing number two is when you're when you're leverage trading, you want to make sure that you're not
trading on cross. Right here it says isolated or cross. So when you're on size of $5,000. If it goes too far
down below the point of where the liquid liquidation would be, the cross trade will actually reach into your other pile of money and use money that's not in that trade to keep that trade alive. Not really what you want to do.
So if you go to isolated, the amount of money that you have committed to that money that you have committed to that trade is isolated for that trade. Uh, I highly suggest using isolated, of course, non-financial advice, but trade
isolated. And then leverage is up to you. Uh, generally I've been sticking around six or 7x lately. If I'm less confident, I'll use 3x. If I'm very confident, I'll use nine or 10. Uh, but if I'm, you know, generally trading
if I'm, you know, generally trading around six or seven. Um, so right here on Cardono, let's just, let's just open a trade just for fun. All right. So, it does look like we have this little kind of support resistance right here. And it
and coming down. So, if I was scout trading this, I would say maybe going short right here isn't a bad idea just for the hell of it. So, let's just uh go um let's go $10,000. So, with the leverage, it only
cost me 1,400 to open this because I'm at 6x leverage. And then I'll just kind of click on the order book where someone is buying. I'll click open short. Confirm. Boom. Just like that, we are in our trade. So now with stop losses and
take profits, it's actually very easy to do on Bit Unix. So right here, we established that this level has been rejected uh from multiple times. So I'm going to set my stop loss right above that levels. So all you're going to do
is you're going to literally drag the stop loss. You're going to click on SL and you're going to move it up. And I'm going to move it up. So, it has to break that support resistance level where it's been rejected one, two, three, four,
five times. Now, it has to break that level for the stop loss to hit. And this you from getting liquidated. You'll never get liquidated if you always use stop- losses. And then with the takerit, you could, you know, kind of pull it
down to this range here. Generally, to be honest with you, I don't use take profits when I trade. What I do is say, let's just go back to the normal Cardano chart for instance. So say small time frame stuff, right? This is the little
range we're trading. I'll get this out of the way. One range we're trading here and we're coming down. What I will do, my stop
loss will start here. But say the trade, the short works out and it's coming down, it's coming down. instead of using a takerit, I will actually move my a takerit, I will actually move my stop-loss into profits. And if so, say I
move my say the trade comes to here and I have my stop loss here. If it doesn't hit that stop-loss and keeps going, guess what? I'm still in the trade winning more and more and more money. Most of the time, my trades end because
I get stopped out in profit. that is kind of more advanced, but it's a really good way to shore up. The worst thing that can happen is that you make this much money. So, moving your stop loss into profits is always a win. Very
interesting. AJ, I'm following along uh very easily. I know you had two more charts to show me. I think Pepe, one of them. Yep. Uh yeah, Pepe. So, this is we hit this one really big in the Telegram group that anytime you can kind
of isolate a big downtrend like this, you know, it hit its local high uh in December, it went down the hill, down the hill, down the hill, and then right there it broke out of that level. And generally, when you're trading
breakouts, you don't want to just trade the break of the trend line. You want to have a level for confirmation. So, I would say back here, you see how we have
that support resistance level right there. And then again, right here when we broke out, we'd have to also get confirmation. So, from that level, boom, we're right there. And that was uh a n top bottom to top about a 18% profit in
16 days. We did hit that one in the group. And so what I'm saying is just using this as an example for traders is to go through your charts and try to find these scenarios where like for example like like I said in the
significant occurrence. You're not trading because you feel like it. You're not trading because you're in the mood. You're waiting for a scenario like this to happen. Uh I think there's a famous quote, you know, being really good at
trading means knowing how to do nothing for long periods of time. And that is spot on the money. I mean, can you trade every day? Yes. Is there a trade to be found on every chart every day? Yes. But the big ones where you really multiply
your money, where you turn 200,000 into a million, that happens because you're waiting for the perfect setup. And I think, you know, kind of situations like this, being very patient with it, that's how I did it. Okay. And then lastly,
Vchain. Another one. just kind of across the board been in a downtrend, broke out, but at the same time, you know, it's still below the 786 on Fibonacci. Uh to do Fibonacci, all you're really doing is clicking on a fib. You're going
from the swing low to the swing high. And anytime you're kind of looking to accumulate an altcoin, I would say under the uh 618 or even better under the 786, great time to accumulate. Uh so even from here to that not even its all-time
from here to that not even its all-time high but its December high is 191% away. high but its December high is 191% away. So uh just from a spot buyer uh point of view you know look for the altcoins that have that I mean just back in November
from the bottom to the top Vchain moved 300% in 31 days. That's pretty crazy. So let's try to accumulate these coins that are capable of that under the 786. I mean when you talk about uh XRP, Algoran,
HAR, Vchain, all four of those coins were in the top 10 performers out of the top 100 during our last pump. And I wouldn't be surprised if they repeated wouldn't be surprised if they repeated that repeated itself. And what is Fib
Fibonacci sequence tool? Like what is the science behind that? It's math. Yeah. I mean the So the Fibonacci is kind of like the it's found in everything like the the SP it's it's a it's it's kind of a complicated concept
but it's literally found in all forms of life like the magic number and everything and I just kind of use it to generally find you can use it to find support resistance you can use it to find ranges. Um, this is kind of an
elementary explanation of it, but I just pull fib sometimes just to see, you know, where things are. And generally, if I'm trying to accumulate, I'm looking for something under the 618 or under the 786. But, uh, I'm sure you could watch,
you know, it it's like a there are multiple hourlong things that explain the details of Fibonacci, but just as a trader or just someone trying to accumulate crypto, you're looking for it to be under the 618 or under the 786.
Helps give you perspective on where things are. Right, AJ. This is why I subscribe to you because you break things down very charts on your channel. Links for your channel down below, but I do not want to
let you go without you talking about the big Tesla giveaway that I see you and Vchain are doing. Yeah. So, Sunonny Lou, really good friend of mine, really great guy. Uh, you know, I've been a Vchain
media partner for almost a year now. And we were kind of thinking, you know, what can we do to really get people excited about Veter Dow? Just so you know, Veter Dao is doing simple actions. You're getting incentivized in the form of free
getting incentivized in the form of free crypto to do simple things such as use a reusable mug to drink coffee out of instead of a paper cup. I do that. You can earn free crypto by taking a picture of your cup of coffee. You can earn free
crypto by um charging an electric vehicle or going on a walk or you know up a park and there's going to be more and more DAPs put on be better DO moving
forward. So Sunny and I throughout 2025 are are doing four long form podcasts. The first one I just released today, you know, 30 minutes ago um Vchain Takeover
right there. So, this is the first of four long form podcasts that we're doing this year. We both feel that there is a lack of long- form podcast in crypto. And this is actually something I want to pursue um with as many people as
know, when you put on a Joe Rogan podcast, you just you just listen to it. You know, it it's just in the background. It doesn't have to be about, you know, this news story or this project or this. you just kind of it's
kind of more about learning the man the people behind the games be the people behind the projects and the characters and like uh I think that there's there's a gap in in crypto content for long form podcast and we're filling it and for
each long form podcast we do we are giving away a Tesla Model 3. If you go to my Twitter AJ Wrightscrypto pinned to the top uh you click on the sweep widget link right there it will take you to the giveaway. Uh you just kind of just fill
in the things, complete a couple actions, and you will be entered. There actions, and you will be entered. There is um a rumor going around that the last giveaway of the year might be a Cyber Truck. So stick around if you There are
three Mod three Tesla Model 3s and the last one is a Cyber. So So you never know. Every quarter you're giving away a Tesla with Vchain. In my opinion, there is no reason that somebody from the altcoin daily army shouldn't win that.
I'm cool with it. All right, guys. The links are down below. AJ, didn't you have a QR code you wanted to blast or Yeah, it's just pinned to the top of the in Yeah, links are down below. Okay, cool. Altcoin Daily Army, I think
somebody can win. It's either the Tesla or the cash value. Uh, anyway, a AJ, Final thoughts for the altcoin Daily Army. Army. You know, I started my journey in
You know, I started my journey in crypto six, seven years ago now. Um, and it doesn't happen overnight. This is something you, if you're not studying as if you were studying for a college exam, you got to think to yourself, you
what you put in. You're only going to get out what you put into this. So, take it seriously like you're studying for a college exam, except if you get an A on this test, you become a millionaire. You know, work for it. This isn't a way to
get out of doing the work, but if you do the work in this industry, it does pay off. So, um, one day at a time and get rich or get wrecked. Link for AJ Tesla down below. Thanks, man. Appreciate you, bro.
