How I Find Low-Liquidity Crypto Gems Early
52sEducational strategy for spotting high-potential coins that appeals to traders looking for an edge.
▶ Play Clip"Title accurately captures the content: the trader indeed suffers 14+ losing trades in a row, though the actual count is 15."
A crypto trader returns to active trading after a break, opening multiple positions overnight on illiquid coins. The next morning, all four trades result in losses, adding to a streak of 15 consecutive losing trades. The video candidly explores the mistakes, risk management failures, and psychological challenges of trading volatile crypto assets.
Trader opens a long position on an illiquid instrument (SN) after a 2% breakout, investing $4,000. He expects a continuation of the uptrend based on hourly chart patterns.
He explains his idea: find coins at the start of their growth, unlike already-pumped coins like VET. He looks for illiquid assets with potential for 50% moves.
Uses multiple timeframes: breakdown of downtrend on higher timeframe, hourly shows a good rebound for stop-loss placement, 5-minute shows a small trading range (shopping mall) as entry trigger.
Enters a long on VLFI with a stop at 0.9%, citing a beautiful breakout on 5-minute chart. Expects a 2-3% move after a rollback.
Opens a short on the 'bit tool' (likely a coin), placing three limit orders for profit-taking at 9%. He is uncomfortable with shorting but follows the setup.
Re-enters a long on Allon, a previously traded instrument, with a tight stop. The potential is described as 'huge' (1:3 risk-reward).
Wakes up to find all four positions stopped out. The market reversed despite seemingly perfect setups. He admits it was a mistake to force night trades to compensate for missed day trades.
Rejects suggestions to switch to scalping or arbitrage, as he values time over small daily returns. He emphasizes the low time-value of $50-$100/day strategies.
Opens one last long on Allon with a tight stop, risking $110. He acknowledges the high risk but is curious to test the setup again.
Stresses the importance of risk management and daily drawdown limits. He previously blew accounts by ignoring these rules. Now uses stops and accepts small losses.
Mentions participating in SpaceX IPO via Bybit. Invested $2,350 in USDC, expecting at least 50% return. Links provided in description and Telegram channel.
The trader's night trading experiment ended in a devastating loss streak, highlighting the dangers of forcing trades and neglecting risk management. Despite the setbacks, he remains committed to developing a robust system and leveraging opportunities like the SpaceX IPO to recover.

20:36[00:02] Hi guys. Welcome to the channel. This is a new part on real-time trading. Right now I'll go to the SN instrument. Here go to the SN instrument. Here we have a top of about 2%, so we will enter
[00:14] we have a top of about 2%, so we will enter this position for about four, yes, 4,000 dollars. We will enter this position. Okay, let's go in. Yes, there are about four. Although, it’s even possible to have 4 with pono, but in principle I’ll leave it at four, because they
[00:28] might blur it a bit here. Let's get straight to the point. I explain the instrument as being extremely illiquid. The tool is just starting to grow. Uh, here's his
[00:40] hourly schedule. That is, he was somehow kicked out, although he had already made 50%, but it all looks as if he is just starting to grow. I have this idea: just find a coin and catch it at the beginning of its growth.
[00:54] Because, for example, if we take some coins, for example, let me show you so that there is an understanding, for example, Wei. Here she is very pumped up. It's not just Gy, there are a lot of coins, uh, that
[01:09] behave roughly the same there. It's the same thing . It's as if we are somewhere here, somewhere here. And I would like to somehow try to catch this rest of the movement . And for many coins, for example, in the lab, somewhere
[01:25] here, the pip tool is like only here and here you can catch like 50 percent there. This is, of course, unlikely, but why not try to find some good deal? Therefore, in relation to this
[01:40] deal? Therefore, in relation to this position, I see this, I am now explaining the downward trend. This is the very trend. I see that we have already broken through this trend and are seemingly going beyond the border. Perhaps we will now, yes, retest,
[01:54] knock me out, but nevertheless. That is, we have already gone beyond the slope. Second. On the we have already gone beyond the slope. Second. On the hourly chart I can clearly see, uh, let's say, a good rebound. And I want to hide my stop loss behind this rebound. Because if
[02:08] we really have some good trend going on now, then, in principle, we shouldn’t update the loy. Next, five minutes. At five minutes it all looks as if it were a five minutes. At five minutes it all looks as if it were a small
[02:21] shopping mall. That is, here we have an upward movement, a small trading movement. I'm hiding behind this little shop. And, in principle, I have this whole set of factors, the fact that we have illiquid assets
[02:36] that have the potential to grow well. Then on the four-hour chart we see a breakout. uh horizontal. Then I see that we have some pretty good trading on the five-minute market
[02:52] , which looks nice. And on the hourly chart I can clearly see absorption behind which I can hide. Basically, there are four points. By the way, please don't humiliate me too much in the comments, because, uh, the guy just returned to
[03:09] trading. I need to find, uh, a new system, uh, find a new approach. The fact is that I am now trading non-liquids, but I simply have no choice. So, and the VLFI instrument.
[03:21] Let me just go straight to VLFI. So, stop-loss will work here. Uh, so what's the stop loss here? Well, about 1%, so I'll just go right now and go. For how long? I'll just go right now and go. For how long? You can go in at 10. Okay, one, two. Everything is
[03:36] great, I got into this position. I immediately set a stop at one, even at 0.9%. Somewhere around here I'll put my stop. Eh, why am I going into Elf? They keep trying and
[03:49] trying to break through him in five minutes. See for yourself how it all looks. Gorgeous, beautiful. They prick. This is the second time they 've injected me, but I think after the rollback there should be movement. Okay, let's take a minute and look. Damn, well, the main thing is that they don’t
[04:05] return it too quickly, because, yes, we’ve rolled it out now, but I think there should be an overrun and the overrun should be at least 2, there 3%. Therefore, it is potentially one to three in WF. I already practiced this position in the
[04:19] previous video. Here we tried to get some food in advance. If anyone hasn't watched the previous video, be sure to check it out, there's a lot of useful and interesting stuff there. And here this is already, so to speak, the second attempt to take this very breakthrough. Stop loss.
[04:33] Why did I put 1%? Yes, because how do I do it now, ah, I need to press F3. Here you can stop at the nearest maximum. Even here it would be possible , uh, most likely, because if we start to exit this trading, well,
[04:50] that is, if we start a normal breakout, how will it actually go? It slowly, slowly descends and then merges. There have already been a couple of landings here. Here are two landings. I don’t know now, there’s still more of a squeeze here. If we go beyond this squeeze
[05:05] again, well, most likely, we will again give this kind of impulse and only then, perhaps, will we go for a breakout, or even turn around. Therefore, it is logical to or even turn around. Therefore, it is logical to throw even for the nearest maximum there. And
[05:17] throw even for the nearest maximum there. And in principle, well yes, there is 0.8. Well, in short, mine is a little higher, because it is actually located there behind this maximum. Well, basically, it's the same thing, so if something happens, you can
[05:31] get away with it by hand. This pinching, this is, of course, a little disconcerting, because if it had actually twitched and stood somewhere here, then yes, it would have pinned now. Maybe there will be some filming from above, guys, I don’t know.
[05:45] But overall it looks cool. That is, if you look into it, BFI is a beautiful, technical, normal deal. This is a bit dumb on the unface. Well, let's see what works for us. Most likely, neither one nor the other.
[06:01] So, I also want to open two positions at once so that I can go to bed with four open positions, to make it interesting. So, here it is 3%. Stop. So, let's go to 3,000.
[06:14] Came in for three, huh? That's it, three. Let's put a shot right away. Uh, let me explain. In short, this is the bit tool. It grows very beautifully, it’s like a super-long tool.
[06:30] Now, to help me understand, you will write: “You don’t have a system at all trading.” And this is how the system is developed. You trade all sorts of stuff, then you look at what works, what doesn’t work, why it works, back and forth. And
[06:48] then, based on everything, you draw some conclusions. What do I see here on the beat tool? This is a completely different situation. It would seem that you want to just go ahead and situation. It would seem that you want to just go ahead and go long with a stop at the minimum. And this is
[07:02] quite logical. But again, looking at how the instrument moves, I see that looking at how the instrument moves, I see that it forms a beautiful trading pattern it forms a beautiful trading pattern and then makes a breakout exactly at the
[07:14] distance of this trading pattern. The situation here is very similar. The instrument was The situation here is very similar. The instrument was bought up in large quantities and put into trade. bought up in large quantities and put into trade. Most likely there will be some way out. I don’t
[07:26] know how much, but if we count it that way, well, plus or minus somewhere around here. That is 43. Illogical. I don't like shorting at all. I really don't like shorting, because when you short, for some reason it seems
[07:40] that it definitely won't work and it's easier to long. Therefore, I would like, of course, to go long with a stop loss, but again, given how the instrument is moving, given that I took a lot of longs, it seems like it would be
[07:54] worth it to just go short. Although here, even potentially, it seems like Although here, even potentially, it seems like probably take it that here it will most likely definitely go down by 5%.
[08:10] definitely go down by 5%. After 5% I would set myself a take profit that will be carried over. That is, I would do it like this. I would do this exactly at night, so that I would definitely not be in the minus, but also set
[08:27] limits at the same time. Damn, it's pretty scary to set limits. but I guess I'll have to do it. I hope they'll cancel at the slightest hint if something goes wrong. That is, I want to take, my take profit will be
[08:42] take, my take profit will be carried over, but I want to close there from 9% somewhere around this place. That is, I’ll take 1 2 3. I’ll place three limits . Most likely, if it closes, it will be for them,
[08:58] The restrictions will, in principle, have to be abolished. Hopefully if they don't cancel it will be Abela. That's it, we figured it out bit by bit. Now the tool is allon. I visited this instrument in the previous part, if you didn’t see it, but
[09:13] previous part, if you didn’t see it, but now I want to re-enter it again and try, try to long it again. The stop here will be as short as possible , but this is good, because if the stop is short, the potential here is
[09:29] huge, but I don’t know whether it will work or not. Again, it looks ultra-long. This is a conditional, crooked, oblique slope. But nevertheless we hit this slope. We just bounced back from this tilt.
[09:45] That is, they haggled here, flew away from the slope, flew away, approached the slope, flew away. Well, in my wet dreams, why not. But nevertheless, in short, this is my logic. Here it is 1.7, that is 2%
[10:01] for 1.5, you can safely enter, right? In short, 5,000 will be enough for this position. That's it, I have four positions open. I open them at night to make it
[10:13] harder to sleep, because when the position is open, you start to worry about what’s going on there. But nevertheless, why did you decide to put a stop here? Well, in my picture of the world, although
[10:25] in my picture of the world everything is a little different. If we have a conditionally long thing, we see these minimums that are not rewritten, we see a new logical to put here a kind of reinforced concrete stop. But if you put an
[10:39] ironclad stop here, then the profit won’t be that big. In part, this is a risk, but I don’t know whether this risk will be justified overall, even if there are such
[10:51] unprofitable transactions, but we need to see what will work. Overall, I'm taking into account the risk here. The potential is huge, that is, at least 1: children, so whether it will work or not, I don’t know. But for now, everything is lit up beautifully red. Feet
[11:06] for now, everything is lit up beautifully red. Feet are spread apart, you can go to sleep and rest. Good morning. Let's look at the balance. It turns out that we can immediately see that there is some kind of loss. We open the first deal. And first we’ll look at the transactions, and
[11:20] then I’ll tell you what the mistake was. So, Hello tool. I was trying to procrastinate here. In principle, we remember what the story was. Let's look at the graph here now. In principle, nothing has changed. The input was normal,
[11:37] quite logical, but nevertheless the instrument did not work. Next is the CH tool. Here too there is a loss of $111. It turns out that here too there was no further long movement. They tried to return the instrument, but again the
[11:54] liquid part was not rolled out. Next is the bit tool. We were shorting here. However, the instrument still went long. However, even if I had placed my stop-loss there beyond the
[12:07] local minimums, I would still have been removed, and only then would the instrument have gone long. Well, this is the kind of interesting market right now, yeah, it's
[12:19] not clear how to enter, or should I wait for some kind of traders to take over. That is, even if I went past this stall, they would still charge me. Therefore, if you go in after the stabbing, it will re-stabbing again. So, next is the
[12:33] Velfi tool. Here the instrument has fully unfolded. There was an attempt to break through these levels again, but nevertheless everything turned around completely. Or trade from levels after some spikes, because, as you can see,
[12:49] spikes just happen, the instruments reverse completely, although the situation is beautiful. This looks perfect on shorts. Overall, it's a downward trend, as if it were a trend, but you can see for yourself how it all happens. Therefore, the
[13:02] start of this day is quite cheerful. If you look at the results, I probably only had one positive deal out of fifteen deals. This is simply, as they say, ridiculous. But nevertheless, what
[13:18] say, ridiculous. But nevertheless, what we have, uh, we have, yes. All four of our transactions ended in losses. It's just a song. Today we have one transaction left, or rather one position, which I can open at risk for the day. But I
[13:34] can say right away that yesterday it was a mistake to open these night trades at all , because I arrived, didn’t trade at all the whole day, I wanted to find some positions to make up for lost ones, and it seemed to me that I was about to
[13:48] quickly bam-bang find something. That's why I make videos about how I start, because I show what I trade, how I trade, and how I find what trades. Now we understand that we have problems.
[14:03] unfold. If we traded like this, we would be in the black, so we can adapt. I also already looked in the comments, they started writing to me in private messages that you are trading some kind of nonsense, trade
[14:16] algo trading, trade this. Damn, honestly, I'm too lazy to even open the Metascalp terminal. And I understand there are a lot of topics. Let's say we collect the same spreads on Mexico through many accounts. You can
[14:30] open a bunch of exchanges and trade something somewhere there, but understand, I don’t want to waste my time right now for 50-1 dollars a day. Well, honestly, because I used to spend a lot of time on the computer, and you
[14:46] understand that sitting at the computer for $1,000 a month, well, it does n’t seem like the best idea. Are you [ __ ] nuts, [ __ ]? You can work on other topics that will bring in more. It will be
[15:00] yes, it’s even easier to go to work than to sit for $1,000 and trade, because you will have to devote the whole day to trading on these topics. Someone will say: "You've become spoiled." Not really. Well, because once you've tried different topics,
[15:16] you understand how much time is really worth. But today, time is really worth. But today, tomorrow, not everyone can look. More precisely, not only everyone can watch . Few people can do this. I did
[15:28] . Few people can do this. I did n't have to walk for long. The tool itself. If anyone watched the previous video, you'll understand that the instrument is heavily worn and is currently sitting in a store. They already tried to restore it, but they drained it again, and
[15:41] now it’s standing in this sideways position again. I probably want to take the same idea that I had yesterday, plus or minus, I want to try it. Although again I don’t know, there is this little inclination here. For now, this whole thing is
[15:55] being repulsed by this inclination, for now, it’s all working, but nevertheless, they can very strongly drain this whole topic. So here you either go short with a stop for this thing, well, as if it were very obvious. But it’s not very obvious to
[16:10] try to take and long-shot it in order to rewrite at least this high. The potential here is quite, I would say, great. The risk here is quite high, but nevertheless, why not
[16:26] try this whole topic? The bit tool began to grow further. I wanted to take it, but I don’t know, I don’t believe in it. In short, it's 2%. You can go for about 5 thousand, and this will be the last transaction. Let's go in. So,
[16:42] for some reason it won't let me access the H tool. Something with the shoulder again, I think. How much longer can this go on, but let me trade normally. What are they cutting your shoulders with? That somewhere there something is not working. Let's put the fifth shoulder here
[16:57] . They don't allow me to trade on the tenth. On the fifth day they let us trade. So what do we have? Everything loaded, everything is great. Once. Two. Well, and the last one. Yes, the risk here is approximately, well, plus or minus 110 bucks. Very risky,
[17:14] but who knows what will come of it. Yesterday it seemed like the stupidest position, perhaps the one that would n’t work, but nevertheless it was the
[17:27] only one that worked for me somehow yesterday . Here again, Vasya, reading the comments, you write to me about the lab, that I entered there without a stop. Since I stopped out, it means there was a stop, which means I had a loss that I could, uh,
[17:42] accept. That is, I am now trading with stops. The first thing I need to learn is risk management. The most important thing is that I don’t mess around. Because before, the last deposits I had, not even
[17:57] two days passed when I completely lost everything, because I exceeded the volumes, exceeded the risk management, did not adhere to the drawdown, that is, I could not cope with the simplest of rules. Therefore, the first thing I need to
[18:09] develop is risk management, daily risk. We are currently developing a trading system in parallel and will continue to monitor it. There you wrote to me about the lab, that it was a complete scam. How can you trust the lab there? Here
[18:25] you go, let's say, the same one where this lab is. Here he is, rolled out. Got tired. If I really entered without a stop, please. And what now? Now
[18:37] what? That is, it would, of course, give money. And on many coins this would be the case. But, unfortunately, if you do trade with risk, you are forced to place stops somewhere. your feet can wear out. You just want to know how difficult it is for
[18:53] You just want to know how difficult it is for me, and I'm sure for many people, when they have a me, and I'm sure for many people, when they have a streak, like I have 15 losing trades now, this will most likely be the sixteenth. How difficult it is to take it, move away
[19:07] from the monitor, and close it. And when you don't have risk management from the exchange itself, from the terminal, how difficult it is to step away and not open something unnecessary. Well, at least open something unnecessary. Well, at least in this I can give an example, that yes,
[19:22] in this I can give an example, that yes, everything is going badly there. Yeah, we're having a serious drawdown right now. But, so that you understand, I am sure that you can even trade with something that is crappy, that is, choose some kind of shlag-coins,
[19:37] uh, make money. And we'll see if that works out just by having risk control over ourselves. Therefore, even in this, at least some positive situations can be found. The fact is that if we now cover the loss, we will move away
[19:54] from trading and that’s it. And we won’t trade today, we’ll return only tomorrow. And in a day we will recover, we will approach with a fresh head, with the knowledge that we have already learned from past mistakes, and maybe we will get some good deals. No luck at all.
[20:09] It turns out to be zero out of five. Here again, I closed a position on the H instrument. I would really like to take a new exit there, re-loan it, somehow
[20:21] drawdown for the day. That's it, the drawdown for the day has ended. Well, you see, I just took it with a throw, bam, and the instrument immediately flew away, and it already gives at least one to three. My hands were itching to log in again and try again, but I did
[20:36] n’t do it. And maybe at least with this I will show some kind of normal example. I'm currently participating in the SpaceX IPO on Bbit. This is the first IPO that will happen here. In short, for those who don't understand what an IPO is, an IPO
[20:52] is an opportunity to buy shares before they go public. For example, Apple shares, Tesla shares, whatever, and then Space X comes out with an IPO. It is clear that we are not receiving shares here, we are receiving takinized shares. Plus it's a bye-bit,
[21:07] meaning you won't get ripped off. I had 2350 in USDC, I decided to throw in 200-350. Here I am showing you. And I have a location here, as I understand it, it will be for $141. It turns out that the situation is such that I think that in any case there will be
[21:23] some advantage here. It is unclear what it will be like. Maybe there will be x's, maybe 10 are 10 x's there, well, that will be great. You can earn $1,400 there . Personally, I would still hope for less, that there would be
[21:36] at least a 50% increase, but even if it were 50%, I had 2,350 just lying around. And so 70 dollars will drip in without any risks . I'll go buy myself some coffee. In general, the link to Bbiit will be in the description. The link
[21:51] to the IPO will also be in the description. You can watch all of this in the Telegram channel. Whenever I make any such threads, I publish them on the Telegram channel, so we won't be living on trading alone. Maybe they'll feed us with an IPO. Good luck to everyone, profit,
[22:04] happiness, peace. Watch the next video. Bye everyone . Ok.
