Swing Trading Strategy

Featured

This straightforward strategy simply requires vigilance. The idea is you keep a close eye out for a correction in a trend and then catch the ‘swing’ out of the correction and back into the trend. A correction is simply when candles or price bars overlap. You’ll find trending prices move quickly, but corrections, on the other hand, will not.

Let’s say on your cryptocurrency chart at 250-minute candles, you see 25 candles where the price stays within a 100 point range. If the price contracted to a daily move of just 20 points, you’d be seriously interested and alert. You should see lots of overlap. This tells you there is a substantial chance the price is going to continue into the trend.

You should then sell when the first candle moved below the contracting range of the previous several candles, and you could place a stop at the most recent minor swing high. It’s simple, straightforward and effective.

Even with the right broker, software, capital and strategy, there are a number of general tips that can help increase your profit margin and minimise losses. Below are some useful cryptocurrency tips to bear in mind.

Utilise News

Short-term cryptocurrencies are extremely sensitive to relevant news. When news such as government regulations or the hacking of a cryptocurrency exchange comes through, prices tend to plummet.

On the flip side, if a big company announces they’ll be incorporating the use of a currency into their business, prices can climb quickly. If you’re aware of any news and can react rapidly, you’ll have an edge over the rest of the market.

Technical Analysis

Analyse historical price charts to identify telling patterns. History has a habit of repeating itself, so if you can hone in on a pattern you may be able to predict future price movements, giving you the edge you need to turn an intraday profit. For more details on identifying and using patterns, see here.

Study Metrics

This is one of the most important cryptocurrency tips. By looking at the number of wallets vs the number of active wallets and the current trading volume, you can attempt to give a specific currency a current value. You can then make informed decisions based on today’s market price. The more accurate your predictions, the greater your chances for profit.

Trade On Margin

If you anticipate a particular price shift, trading on margin will enable you to borrow money to increase your potential profit if your prediction materialises. Exchanges have different margin requirements and offer varying rates, so doing your homework first is advisable. Bitfinex and Huobiare two of the more popular margin platforms.

Cryptocurrency Trading Strategy: Modern Portfolio Theory

“I believe in something called ‘portfolio science,’” Lou Kerner – a founding partner at venture capital firm CryptoOracle – tells Cryptocurrency News, “ pronounces that you assign a fraction of your assets to crypto, and then buy a basket of market-based assets, on an unvarying basis and without a concern for the prices. Over the long run, that’s how you increase returns.” Kerner is referring here to modern portfolio theory (MPT), which originated from a 1952 essay by American economist Harry Markowitz, A theory that works well as a cryptocurrency trading strategy.

In its meekest form, MPT contains capitalizing in a range of assets, whose price activities are uncorrelated. Because of their uncorrelated-ness they incline not to fall and upsurge together, thereby, lowering the investor’s contact to separate specific asset risk and rescuing him or her from overall losses.

And as Kerner suggests, if the investor selects their banquet of assets (including cryptocurrencies) prudently, they may enjoy stronger returns over the long term. For example, a 2017 study conducted by researchers at Bocconi University in Italy suggests that MPT is the ideal strategy for crypto-trading, at least when associated to a ‘Bitcoin-only’ strategy and one which weights in on numerous different coins equally (i.e. that embraces an equal amount/value of each coin).

However, the key point to make here is that the use of MPT cannot usually be limited solely to the crypto-market. That’s because cryptocurrencies are too highly associated or interrelated with one another at the moment. When one slips so do the vast majority of the others, for example, if bitcoin prices suddenly drop in the market then the market value of Ethereum and the other coins decrease with it, thereby exposing investors to larger risks.

As an investor it is absolutely necessary to keep oneself well-educated on at least one cryptocurrency trading strategy as it may help increase significantly the assets invested in.
