THETA, FTM, DGB among a few exceptions in the altcoins rout
It’s no secret that altcoins are in a correction this month, after a fantastic run. But our Screen yielded a few exceptions: DGB, FTM, THETA.
These coins look like coiled springs. Still in solid uptrend with bullish MACD and RSI crossovers.
In layman’s terms, these are coins in a long-term uptrend and a recent momentum upswing.
If BTC finds its footing here at $10K or so, some of the altcoins could spring back.
Risk management – Stop Loss and trade size. In all of these setups, traders should use Stop Loss orders to manage their downside risk, in case the trade goes against us, as it often will. Trading is about probabilities and even though these setups have a high win rate, one must be prepared to minimize losses on the trades that go bust. If Stop Loss order types are not supported by they exchange, at least set up a price alert (see video). Also, trade size should be such that you never risk losing more than 2% of your total equity. Keeping the trade size small allows the trader to setup a wider Stop Loss, which gives the trade more room and time to complete with success. Setting Stop Loss levels too tight can often result in getting knocked out of a trade prematurely.
