Does your trading strategy take into account a fundamental analysis of crypto market or assets? Please provide an example of such an analysis.
Lalo (Infocrypto)
Im in crypto because of the fundamentals, but for short term trades we use almost only technical analysis. Of course we do not ignore the fundamentals, Bitcoin for example, one can not ignore the fact of a new halvening coming. So basically for the long term picks we use Fundamentals and for short term trades we search for good technical setups.
Andreas (safetrading.today)
Is your trading strategy based on technical indicators? If yes - which indicators do you use?

If the market is sideways and with only risky opportunities i dont trade. We have stayed almost a month without sending a single signal on altcoins due the market risk.

Do you think it is possible to gain profit from every deal in crypto trading?
Lalo (Infocrypto)
If you are an active trader that will trade for years, that is impossible. But if you trade one month per year maybe you can be lucky to make only 100% accuracy deals. But that is not trading.
Andreas (safetrading.today)
Do you think it is better to risk and earn a lot of money or to risk with small earnings?
Lalo (Infocrypto)
I think both are valid. All depends on the risk. If you are risking a lot to earn small gains i dont think is wise. I prefer swing trades rather than day trades, usually the risk reward ratio is much better.
Andreas (safetrading.today)
Do you listen for other people’s advice while trading?
Lalo (Infocrypto)
No.
Andreas (safetrading.today)
Do you think emotional background has an influence of traders’ results? Please describe such a situation from your own experience.
Lalo (Infocrypto)
The emotional is everything for a trader. I have made a lot of mistakes in my trader´s life due the emotional. Sometimes you analyze everything right but in the middle of the trade you let your greed/fear dominate your actions and usually you start doing wrong moves...
Andreas (safetrading.today)
Only screen time and practice to build a solid mindset, there is no other formula.
