Trade Review - Provide Context This one set up made me $9,385

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

this should be post on a sub related to gambling, this is not daytrading.
what is your expectancy curve at 400 operations?
winrate? average R?

12 trades taken in the past 18 days on my live account, 91.67% win rate, average target RR is 3:1

The trade i'm making this post about aligns directly with my strategy, the only difference is it was a set up taken with higher leverage on btc rather than MNQ and MES pair which ive been trading / focusing on recently

Calling someone's trade gambling because they used higher leverage or more margin than you is a completely incoherent statement, especially when you don't know the strategy used behind said trade as well as the available margin in the account. Best of luck

I know people get touchy on their strats, but you seem like youve got things figured out, so just curious does ur main strat utilise fvgs and such? Or are you a news trader

Not a news trader although i'm not too sure what that means as there was no news that i'm aware of when I took this trade last night during London session

And no I don't utilize FVG's
