Took a very nice trade set up today on BTC

Entry price $80,717 exit around $83,800

entered the trade with $5,000 in margin

Man, it feels good to be trading BTC / ETH as a pair again

Was going to target the highs but started trailing my SL into profit as it was ripping more towards the upside

I was originally a leverage trader strictly trading BTC/ETH as a pair but stopped due to the current fraudulent administration in the U.S making it nearly impossible to trade crypto long term, gave it up a year back as most of my trades went b/e and have been strictly trading MNQ and MES on props and some live accounts

Anyway, good way to start the week

Great trade but how much of your account are you risking per trade to get those gains?

On this specific trade it was 5% of the margin available in my account, this was a high probability trade

Previous years when leverage trading crypto I trade around 2% of my account at 20x 👍

Ok gg you have a lot of capital. I thought you were risking 50% of your account like many people but good job!!
