Writing a Rule Based System
A cryptocurrency system is a set of rules that specify when to open and when to close trades. To come up with a complete bitcoin system a trader is also required to the following advanced rules that will guide his technique. These rules are also part of the bitcoin system but cover a wider approach of how a trader uses their bitcoin system when opening & closing trades.
The following things will also be included within the bitcoin system that a trader will come up in order to make the bitcoin system of a trader complete.
Mindset/Bitcoin Trading Psychology
This section of the trader’s bitcoin system will write down the mindset that a trader will follow when setting their trades using their system. Your mindset as a trader should specify that you'll only follow the signals generated by your system and you will not open trades just because the btcusd market has started to move up or move down. If a trade signal is not generated by your bitcoin system then you will not place any trade on the btcusd market. The way you will make sure that you follow only your system is by using bitcoin psychology to control your emotions in trading.
You should be prepared to be disciplined enough when trading to follow what your trading system is saying. You should never go against your system and base your decisions on what the btcusd market is doing. You should be objective when following the rules of your system. This will be a matter of training yourself to follow your bitcoin system even when you make a trade that loses money you must follow your system & close the trade at the specified level where your rules say the trade should be closed to avoid further losses. Close that trade & wait for another opportunity, there will always be another opportunity to trade tomorrow, next week or next month you do not have to stay on one trading until you lose all you money and after you miss the other opportunities that you would have heard.
You will also have to figure out the best method for your personality so that you are comfortable with the types of trade that you place in btcusd market. For example if you can execute trades quickly then you might choose to be a scalper, if on the other hand you are the type of trader that likes to take time before making a decision then scalping may not be the best method for you, instead you should become a day trader or a swing trader & that way you can have enough time between trades to make a decision. By choosing a trade style that most fits your personality is the first thing you should do & after you have made the correct choice of the method that most suits you then you'll have the right mindset when trading & you will increase your chances of being more successful when trading the btcusd market.
Set Goals To Follow When Trading
You have to know what goal you want to achieve in trading and executing trades with your system. Your goal may be that you want to follow your bitcoin system all the time and never take any trade that is not indicated by your system. Another goal may be that you want to be more disciplined when executing trades by being patient enough to wait for a signal to be generated by your bitcoin system before opening a trade & that you'll not jump the gun & open a trade before the signal is generated. Sometimes a trader may see that a signal is about to be generated by their system but it has not been generated according to the rules of the bitcoin system but a trader may decide to open a trade before the signal and wait for the signal while they are in the btcusd market, this should not be how a trader should trade, traders should learn to be patient enough to wait for the signal to be generated before opening a trade.
Select one of the Instruments To Trade
Traders should also specify the crypto instruments that they will be trading with their system. A trader may come up with a system which has a strategy that is best suited for trading some trading instruments only. The trader should therefore only trade with their bitcoin system when they are trading only these bitcoin price charts.
Most bitcoin systems will produce best results when they are applied to trading liquid instruments & therefore a trader should make sure that they only trade those trading instruments which are best suited for their bitcoin strategy. This is why cryptocurrency traders should specify in their bitcoin rules the instruments that they will be trading.
BTCUSD Trade Money Management Rules
For a cryptocurrency system to be very successful then a trader should make sure that they also specify the bitcoin money management guidelines that they will always follow when trading the btcusd market.
The bitcoin money management method that a trader uses should have a high risk : reward ratio so as to give the trader more chances at becoming profitable when trading with their bitcoin strategy.
The bitcoin money management should specify at which level a trader will close out a losing trade: the trader should also make sure that they close all their losing trades at this point.
A trader should also never risk more than 2% of their account equity on any one single btcusd trade.
The trader should also determine where they will always take profit when their trade is profitable. The take profit level should be two times the stop loss level. For example is a trader is setting their stops at 25 pips then the traders should set their take profits at 50 pips. This is what's known as a high risk: reward ratio to trade with. This risk reward ratio is 2:1, which means a trader can make two times profit the amount that the set as their loss. This way by using a high risk reward ratio means that a trader will be more successful in the long run because their technique uses a high risk reward ratio that means they stand to make two times the amount that they set as their loss.
Keep a Journal
Traders should always keep a journal & this journal will prove to be a very helpful tool when it comes to improving their system.
For example when a trader is designing their system and they want to test it out on the btcusd market, then the bitcoin journal will prove to be a very helpful tool to help them do this. This because while testing out the bitcoin system traders will record all their trades on this journal and after a while they can use this journal to review their trades, traders can find out why the losing trades made losses & ascertain what factors in their strategies are resulting in generating signals which make losses, the trader will then try to not make these same mistake while trading in the future. A trader will also try and find the patterns that help them to make profitable trades and the traders can then use these patterns to trade with in the future so that they can improve the profitability of their bitcoin system in the future and there help them to become more successful.
