[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Trading cryptocurrency is not an overnight success process. It is a long process that requires hard work and determination. Therefore, I am going to break down the process for you into five simple steps which if followed, will lead you to the path of successful traders. Remember, these steps are merely a highlight of what must be done. Let's us dive deeper into each step[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https://youtu. be/w4CdYVP0J8k” align=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]1. Create AccountsThis one is obvious. For you to trade, you need to have an account with a registered broker or exchange platform. Now there are many scam platforms out there; therefore, you need to be vigilant with your account broker selection. The best way is to go through their sites and check the privacy and certifications. A legible platform should be registered under relevant authority in its native country. Some of the most trusted cryptocurrency platforms are;BinanceDenbitBitMEXBitMex TestnetAs a beginner, it is advisable to use BitMEX Testnet, which is user-friendly. It is also prudent to trade only paper and nothing else. After setting up an account, what next? 2. EducationAfter setting up your trading account, the next vital step is educating yourself with how-to of the crypto industry. Luckily, there are hundreds of trusted sources of education over the internet. Most people prefer paid-up training services; however, unpaid learning from a reputable source is a great place to start. Start with familiarizing yourself with basic market terminologies from Google and Investopedia. After wrapping your head around the common trading terms, it will be wise to enroll in a legit educator. Most educators charge a fee, but some offer their services for free or on a free trial. Either way, education is essential in the market, and the sooner you get it, the better. You can also invest in some quality trading books as the market styles and techniques seldom change. When you feel that you have learned enough, it is time now to try things out. Decide the category you are going to fall into; there are only two, a trader or an investor. Afterward, you will be free to proceed to the next step. 3. Back TestingIf your education was thorough enough, you should be familiar with backtesting. Nevertheless, backtesting is the process of trying/ gauging a strategy or skill to see if it works. Backtesting helps you gauge your understanding of the concepts which you grasped in the education level. It also enables you to improve the learned concepts and customize them into your style of trading. Advice from mentors is backtested to see if it works. Some great tools for backtesting areTrading ViewChart ReplayPine EditorFractal TradingIn all these stages, it is advisable to use paper trades and not real money. 4. JournalingJournaling is basically, taking notes of your backtests. The learned concepts from the education step are backtested and then recorded (journaled). Journaling is essential since it helps you monitor your progress. From your journal records, you can make adjustments by dropping concepts that do not work and adjusting the acceptable ones. Once you have perfected your strategy, it is time to put it to test using your real money. 5. Risk ManagementSince you are trading real money at the moment, having a risk management will help tremendously reduce the risks of losing your assets and making more profits. There are dozens of risk management strategies on the internet, and you can select one, backtest, and customize it to your liking. Well, those are the five magical steps of getting into crypto trading. Remember, there is no Holy Grail in trading; your passion, determination, and vigilance will determine if you will succeed or fail.

As you may have noticed, the crypto market is not at its best and has not been for some time. You may know by now that crypto goes by cycle, between bull and bear, and currently, we are in the middle of a bear market. The bear market may seem like doomsday for many but don't worry. For the savvy investors and traders, opportunities are plenty, even during the bear market! That's what we will be exploring together in this article to help you through this challenging time. What is a bear market? Most financial market professionals consider a bear market to be a decline of more than 20% since the last high or historical high. This may be true for the classical markets, but if we had to declare a bear market every time a crypto loses more than 20%, we wouldn't make it. A bear market is usually a break of the current trend, i. e. bullish, with a breach below a support level or a break of a moving average. To simplify, one could say that the emergence of a long-term downtrend is usually an indicator of a bear market. 3 main characteristics of a bear marketMore selling than buying sessionsIt seems logical at the mechanical level with more sellers than buyers. Generally, a bear market starts with a simple downward correction with the consequence of a major technical signal to sell. The emergence of negative emotionsA bear market fuels fear and panic. In contrast, you will have many bulls or optimists among financial market professionals who will defend that the correction, despite the confirmation of a major technical signal to sell, is temporary, excessive or over. Technical rebounds of desperationA bear market builds bull traps, i. e. technical rebounds that make you believe that things are moving forward for good. In reality, this is not just an illusion, because investors who were unable to sell their positions when the downward reversal signal was given, take advantage of it to do so at this time under slightly more favorable conditions. How to profit from crypto during a bear market? Just because a market is down doesn't mean you can't make money, and let's explore some solutions together. Automatic TradingTrading during a bear market is not easy, especially in the crypto market where losses can sometimes reach more than 10% per day during a bear market. If you don't have the skills or the time for it, you should seek out an automatic trading platform such as 4C-Trading or SuperBots. , an algorithmic trading protocol in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on DEXs, with full automation managed by the Vaults. The vaults are powered by smart contracts to help you manage your assets and each vault contains an algorithm to help you trade. All you need to do is to deposit your capital in the form of crypto (BUSD for example) and the vaults will take care of the rest. The most important question – how did SuperBots perform during the last three months when the crypto market went through a blood bath? Phenomenal! One of the bots, the “Ultimate Scalper” bot, helped the SuperBots community accumulate more than 34%! StakingStaking is the practice of tying up crypto-assets for a long period of time and getting rewarded at the end of it. Although it is subject to risk, it is a fairly quiet way to invest, accessible to all budgets and generally profitable. NFTYou can also use NFTs to hedge against market fluctuations but be careful! In a bear market, all assets tend to fall as investors shy away from risk. Having said that, the bear market is also the best time to accumulate blue chip NFTs. Take for instance, BAYC's Otherside fell below mint price in May. For the super fans who missed the mint or refused to pay the skyhigh prices, now is the best time to accumulate. ConclusionIt is indeed possible to make money in a bear market if you know what to do! Trading is a good way to win during this crunch time. Manual trading can be exhausting because let's face it – the bear market carries with it a big bag of emotional roller coaster ride riddled with fear and anguish. To trade without emotions and stay laser focused, automated trading with SuperBots and 4C Trading are your best bets!

This investment pays me 1% in interest per month! How much will I earn in a year and how can I earn more interest? If you have been looking for the answers to those questions, you have come to the right place! Today, we are going to discuss the 8th wonder of the world – the power of compounding your interest and crypto. As Albert Einstein once said: ”Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn't, pays it. ”Disclaimer: Our content is intended to be used and must be used for informational purposes only. It is very important to do your own research and analysis before making any investment based on your personal circumstances. What is compound interest? For this article, I will voluntarily popularize it as much as possible because not all of us have studied finance or accounting. So to make it simple, compounding interest consists in using your increased capital for the next interest period. In short, compound interest is the interest you earn on interest. Sounds complex? Here's a simple example:We have an investment opportunity that pays us 1% per month, in a simple interest context, that would give you an annual return of 12% which is simply the sum of the twelve months. For a capital of $100000, it will bring you $1000 per month and $12000 annually. On the other hand, in the context of compound interest, the interest starting from the second month will no longer be calculated only on the basis of your principal, in this case $100,000, but on the basis of this $100,000 plus the first month's interest, $101,000. As of the second month, you will thus receive an interest of 1% on a principal of 101000$ and not 100000$ and so on as the months go by. How to calculate the gain? By following a simple mathematical formula: K*(1+i)^n where “K” represents your starting capital, “i” the interest rate and “n” the number of periods, here 12 (months). Feeling overwhelmed? Relax. We will attempt to simplify this. Let's take the same example: $100,000 multiplied by (1 + the interest rate) exposing 12. In figures this gives: $100,000*(1+0. 01)^12. In a compound interest context, your investment will therefore bring you $112,682. 5 at the end of the year. Try expert pack 7 - days freeExperience the power of automated crypto trading with our superior trading system at the pack level of your choiceThe importance of the time horizonThe longer you put your capital in a compound interest context, the more miracles this mechanism works because its effect is exponential. Let's take our example again, $100,000 at a simple interest rate of 1% for 36 months will give you a total capital of $136,000 while with compound interest, your total capital would then be $14,307. 87. The difference becomes striking, doesn't it? A last example this time for 72 months or 6 years, this will give you a final capital of $172,000 with simple interest rates while with compound interest, your final capital would be $204,709. 93. To fully benefit from compounding interest, it is essential that you play the long-term game. Patience is key. The longer you allow your interest to accumulate, the sweeter you gain. Compounding interest with the 4C SMART BotsOur SmartBots at 4C-Trading work a little bit the same way, using all of your available capital for each trade that they execute on your behalf. Of course, the monthly return is not constant and there may be some negative months. The average return, on the other hand, is well above 1% per month, but to take advantage of these tools, you need to adopt a long-term strategy. Should I go all in and forget about it? Would the best solution be to put all your capital into the SMART Bots? Certainly not our dear community. Although the 4C-Trading SMART Bots are a profitable tool, they do have a certain level of risk, as with any investments. It is important to assess your level of risk and capital allocation. This is the very reason why we suggest that you diversify your portfolio and not go all in on one SMART Bot. When you spread your trading capital across the SMART BTC, ETH and LINK Bots, you are managing risk with sensibility. In this way, if one bot underperforms due to unforeseen market trends and conditions, there is a chance that the other bots may perform better. Fear and greed are high in the world of crypto and it is indeed a very volatile market. Given these combinations, it is no wonder that the market is an emotional one. With the 4C-Trading SMART Bots trading on your behalf, you can be sure that our automated trading bots execute trades based on advanced trading algorithms with no emotions involved. Their sole objective is to help investors accumulate sweet gain over time. Hence, when you sign up for the SMART Bots subscription pack, it is important that you adopt a long-term strategy, something which we can all learn from the world of traditional assets.

You have probably already heard this term and we have already published an article on the subject. However, we feel it is important to come back to the subject as it is an important tool in strategy selection. As you can see, we are going to talk about the drawdown here! What is it and how to reduce it, we will see all this together! What is a drawdown? To assess the caliber of their trading and risk management, traders frequently discuss drawdown or maximum drawdown. A trading account's excellent performance does not necessarily indicate that the strategy or method being used is profitable and risk-free. The drawdown is a measurement of a trading strategy's loss and, hence, risk. A trading method will only lose as much as its maximum drawdown for a given time frame. On websites like Tradingview, the drawdown is displayed as a percentage and as an amount. The maximum drawdown of a position or trade is the maximum unrealized loss during the entire range. A trade may have been closed at a profit, but still have a significant drawdown. The trader would have let the trade carry a loss, only to cut it to a gain. The drawdown is a measure of risk on a trade by trade basis. It is a more accurate way to measure the “true” drawdown of a trading strategy. Taking into account the latent losses helps to measure the real risk. How to interpret it? All things being equal, the lower the Maximum Drawdown indicator, the better the quality of the trading. Indeed, the Maximum Drawdown corresponds to the worst performance that an investor could have obtained by replicating your trades over a given period. Although past performance does not predict future performance, the Maximum Drawdown allows us to estimate the maximum latent loss that an investor will have to bear if he chooses to invest with you. For example :Following your strategy A, you make an initial investment of $100, and after a string of largely profitable deals, you have earned $150. A 50% improvement in results is excellent! Following a string of losses, you eventually find yourself at $125 before it rises once more to surpass $150, restoring your capital level from before the series of losses. The drawdown is the percentage difference between the lowest level attained and your capital level. The drawdown in the aforementioned scenario is 16. 6%. ConclusionThe drawdown is one of the most interesting tools when it comes to analyzing the risk associated with a strategy. It allows you to gauge the maximum loss before recovery on your capital and thus choose according to your appetite for risk.

Either you've spent the last few weeks in a cave, or you've heard about it, I mean of course “The merge“. Yes, today the ETH blockchain is officially moving from a “proof of work” model to a “proof of stake” model. It has taken a long time since the creation of the beacon chain but the merge between it and the main chain has finally happened. Sounds complicated? Don't worry, we'll clear it up! Ready to go? Let's get started! What is The Merge? The Merge refers to the Ethereum network's use of proof-of-stake (PoS), which is also known as the “consensus mechanism” for crypto transactions. The previously in use Proof-of-Work (PoW) system is now replaced with this new one. This technique, which was first introduced by Bitcoin, has the drawback of using a lot more energy. Beacon Chain, a PoS network, has been around since 2020. But transaction processing was not yet done on this network. It served primarily to give the computers that make up the Ethereum network time to get ready for the major switch to PoS. The “execution” layer of the PoW core network and the “consensus” layer of the Beacon Chain had to combine in order for this shift to take place. Exactly this is what we witnessed today! Why this update? Decrease in the energy consumed by the Ethereum networkIt takes a lot of energy to keep thousands of extremely powerful machines running nonstop in order to compete with one another. The fundamental issue is that for any of them to produce interesting output, they must all be running nonstop. Of course, the large carbon footprint of a blockchain like Ethereum is the main effect of this consumption. The Ethereum Foundation calculated that the switch to Proof of Stake may result in a 99. 95% reduction in power consumption, or 2,000 less than Ethereum's Proof of Work version. ConclusionAfter years of talking about it, the new proof of stake version of Ethereum is finally here. The merge itself represents a real technological feat. Nevertheless, it is still necessary to correct some of your preconceived ideas. No, transaction fees will not drop drastically due to this upgrade, and the speed gain will only marginally improve the scalability of the Ethereum blockchain. On the other hand, this “Merge” lays the foundations of what could be a future scalability solution. The best is yet to come!

Is DeFi Trading safe? - 4C Trading. The name DeFi is now known to most crypto-enthusiasts but it may not be the same when it comes to protocol security. The security on the DeFi market and especially the risks involved when investing are still sometimes too unknown. That's why today we will answer these questions: Is trading on DeFi safe? What are the risks of trading on DeFi ? How to trade on DeFi when you are a beginner ? Are you ready for it ? Let's get started! What is DeFi? Decentralized finance, or “DeFi”, is an emerging digital financial infrastructure that theoretically eliminates the need for a central bank or government agency to approve financial transactions. What are the risks of DeFi trading? There are several kinds of risks when trading in the DeFi ecosystem but the one that comes up most often in the news remains the hack. This can happen when a flaw is detected in a smart contract, which allows the hacker to break in and walk away with the funds. Another very important risk is the so-called “rug-pull”. This consists of the creation of a project and the listing of a corner with the promise of an amazing return, sometimes with a PRA exceeding several million percent. It cannot be said enough, when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true. Rug-pull occurs when the founders stop the project all of a sudden and leave with the funds, leaving the investors with a total loss. We can also add to this list of risks, the pure and simple scams by means of either phishing techniques or more directly through Telegram. These scammers take advantage of beginners in the crypto-currency world to extort capital from them. According to the REKT Database application of Defiyield, over a period of one year at the time of writing, more than 43 billion dollars of value have been lost, and 40 just for the Terra case. This figure should be taken with a pinch of salt since a second token was created, but even without that, it still adds up to more than 3 billion dollars stolen in various scams. How to mitigate the risk? For a beginner the DeFi ecosystem may seem scary at first glance as it is certainly a bit more complicated than trading on centralized trading platforms such as Binance. Fortunately, there are hedging solutions, which work like insurance, that you can buy to protect yourself against a vulnerability in the smart contract for example. There are several types of insurance, including depeg risk in the case of stablecoins. This would have been perfect when Terra collapsed for example. It is therefore possible to limit the risk but subscribing to this type of insurance is still complicated for beginner investors. ConclusionAs in everything, trading on the DeFi ecosystem involves risk, without risk it is impossible to make a profit, right? Nevertheless there are ways to protect yourself against the most common forms of risk on the DeFi protocols like depeg or a flaw in the Smart contracts. Finally, the best advice in my opinion, never put all your eggs in the same basket!

How to use Telegram in crypto? - 4C Trading. News, rumors, FUD, FOMO, charts, bots, and project updates, discussions, convos…Crypto Telegram is where it's at. The epicenter and gathering point for the crypto community resides in the encrypted messenger application. Using Telegram is simple, but optimizing your experience to get the most out of the platform calls for a few do's and don'ts. Here are some pointers for beginners. Secure Your AccountIf you haven't done that yet, go to “Privacy and Security” in Telegram's Settings menu. Your phone number should be set as visible only to “My Contacts” or better still “Nobody. ” If it's set to “Everybody” you're increasing your chances of being SIM swapped (very important! ). While you're in the Settings menu, there's a few more options you should run through, the most important being “Two-Step Verification. ”Unfortunately, Telegram doesn't offer 2FA, but it does allow you to set up an account password that will prevent anyone from getting into your account, even if they're able to swap your SIM. Getting a stolen Telegram account returned to its rightful owner is harder than it is with other apps, so it pays to lock it down. Finally, set “Groups” so that only your contacts can add you to Telegram groups. Set it to “Everybody” and you're prone to be added to spammy crypto groups by randoms. Do it in the right wayLike the other Crypto Twitter, crypto Telegram encapsulates the best and worst elements of the industry. From the lowest scammers to the highest grade projects, it's all here if you know where to look. Much like the crypto markets, however, failure to master crypto Telegram comes at a high cost. Here's how to enhance your learning, and extract the most value from the industry's favorite messenger platform. Keep It ConfidentialIf you need to discuss sensitive information with a Telegram contact, select “New Secret Chat. ” All messages are stored solely on the sender and recipient's device – not in the cloud. That's why if you start a secret chat on your smartphone, you can't view the conversation when you access Telegram Web on your desktop. For added security, secret chats don't allow message forwarding and have a self-destruct timer, after which the conversation will be deleted. The Signal app is regarded as the most private encrypted messaging app, but for most confidential conversations, Telegram secret chat is fine. Beware of scammersImpostors touting “ETH giveaways” and other low-level scams are more commonly found on Twitter, but Telegram is not immune. Be cautious of anyone who directs messages to you on Telegram claiming to be the admin of a group you're in, offering you discounted tokens OTC and similar deals. Similarly, don't assume that a particular Telegram handle corresponds with the same personality on Twitter. You're probably not going to be messaged by Satoshi Nakamoto or Nick Szabo on Telegram, so be highly skeptical of anyone purporting to be a known crypto influencer unless their username can be verified, such as by cross-referencing it with their Twitter bio. Pin interesting groups, mute the noise,You can pin up to three groups to the top of your Telegram app for convenience. Just hold down the group name for a second and then push the pin icon that appears at the top of the page. Popular Telegram channels are alive with chatter, memes, and gossip – a little too alive at times. For fast-moving channels that provide more noise than signal, swipe left on them from the home screen and they'll be archived. You can still access them whenever you want to dive back in by clicking the “Archived Chats” button at the top of the page. Use foldersAlso, Telegram has finally adapted its application and now makes it possible to classify (on mobile phones at first) your conversations, chats, and channels in specific folders. Don't wait any longer to put all your 4C tools in folders, either by creating one for chats and one for channels and bots or by gathering all 4C tools in a single folder. It couldn't be simpler: go to your Telegram application on your smartphone. Go to menu >> Settings >> Folder >> Create New Folder. And there you can add the channels, chats or bots of your choice. Save messages for laterTelegram has a “Saved Messages” private channel where you can forward messages you want to store for future reference. It's also handy as a general-purpose clipboard for images and text when jumping between devices. If you need to access a mobile wallet address on your desktop, for instance, you can paste it into saved messages and retrieve it from Telegram Web on your laptop. Just remember to periodically clean your saved messages of sensitive data. For cryptocurrency transactions where privacy is paramount, avoid pasting addresses into Saved Messages altogether. Pick Your Groups CarefullyThis final piece of advice is a subjective one since the Telegram groups and channels you join are dependent on your interests. You'll have your own favorites but if you find you're not getting much value out of the channels you're in, archive them or leave altogether. Telegram is your feed, after all, tailored just the way you like it. Like an altcoin you've fallen out of love with, don't be afraid to dump channels that no longer give you that warm glow. Life's too short for a mediocre chat and bad memes. If you are looking for top crypto and market analyses, deep market research, inspiring discussions, and insightful info join our 4C-Community!

Crypto lending and the current liquidity crisis - 4C Trading. Despite the high level of fear and panic in the current state of the crypto market, it is very common to go through a fall; especially after a bull run. Given the epic bull run that we witnessed last year, the tumble in prices should come with no surprise. After all, as with any market, crypto evolves in cycles. What is lending? How does it work? What are the differences between lending firms and Decentralized Finance (DeFi)? These are all questions that we will answer in today's article. Are you ready? Let's get started! What is crypto lending? One of the hottest trends during the last bull run in the crypto community is undoubtedly lending services. More and more platforms that allow users to borrow, lend, and earn interest in return with their cryptocurrency have emerged. As we have learned the hard way since the bear market started, the extravagant interest rates offered by these lending platforms come with a lot of risks as well. In some cases, this can lead to the total loss of funds. Why are the crypto lending firms in trouble? As with traditional finance, when an investment or loan is not repaid, there are financial consequences for the issuing company. We remember the Lehman Brothers case that led to a global financial crisis in 2008. For the case of lending companies, Celsius for example, the principle is the same. Celsius has indeed invested a lot of funds in stETH, which is supposed to be worth 1 ETH under any circumstances. However, during the crash, the value of stETH changed and started trading at a discount, making it much less liquid. Celsius was left with a worthless investment that could not be disposed of. This led to a suspension of withdrawals, which deteriorates an already shaky confidence situation in this bear market. Another cause is undoubtedly the high leverage used by some firms, borrowing from other firms to finance their own investment. If the latter fails to repay, this causes a cascading effect on the whole DeFi ecosystem and harms its development. Why is DeFi important? The idea of decentralization and transparency, which is often lacking in the classical financial system, is at the heart of the DeFi spirit. The absence of third parties allows lower costs but as we have seen, the current ecosystem still suffers from flaws linked to its infancy stage. As we mentioned in a previous article dedicated to DeFi 2. 0, for the DeFi ecosystem to grow and become mainstream, it will need to innovate in terms of security and transparency. ConclusionWe will evolve and grow from this liquidity crisis and the bear market as a whole and learn from it. The next version of the DeFi ecosystem will have to be more secure. From the investors' point of view, the key takeaway from the current market chaos is risk diversification and management. The adage “Don't put all your eggs in one basket” holds true. When the market is good, it is easy to get distracted and take higher bets. Leveraging, no matter if you are an experienced or elementary investor or trader, carries a high level of risk and should always be ventured with extreme caution.

Pattern analysis cheat sheet - 4C Trading. [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this article, you will find a summary of the most well-known chartist configurations, their meanings and especially their probabilities. First of all, let me remind you what chartismor pattern analysis is. It is a decision-making system based on the search for graphic patterns. More or less geometric, these figures occur on a recurrent basis on the markets and make it possible to a certain extent to anticipate future movements of an asset. The latter may either go up or down. In the first case we will speak of a “bullish” configuration and in the second case of a “bearish” configuration. For the anecdote, “bullish” refers to a bull, the latter attacks its enemies from bottom to top with its horns, hence the bullish trend. “Bearish” refers to a bear that defends itself from top to bottom against its attackers, hence the bearish trend. In the summary table, you will find percentages associated with each figure. Remember that we are thinking in a probabilistic way. Therefore, do not think that all the configurations and probabilities presented in this table will allow you to succeed 100% of your trades. If that were the case, I wouldn't be here writing this article. “A recurrent behaviour is not, in any case, constant. ”Here is the summary table:Note that if you do not know all the configurations, you can search for them online.

What is LUNA 2. 0? - 4C Trading. We've all heard about it, the collapse of LUNA and UST has caused a stir and shaken the crypto market as a whole. Many investors were left with significant losses. Is Terra 2. 0 a hope? The Terra team continues its relentless efforts to revive its ecosystem, which has been ravaged by an unprecedented crisis. Last week Terra unveiled its 2. 0 version and launched an airdrop of LUNA, which will thus repurpose the old token, now LUNC, for classic Luna. Terra's “1623 proposal” to revive the ecosystem with a blockchain fork and new tokenism has generated a lot of interest, especially from those who have suffered heavy losses due to the collapse of UST and LUNA. The team ensured that a distinction was made between those who held the tokens before and after the “attack” regarding the airdrop. On its official Twitter page, Terra also revealed that Terra 2. 0 would not be a hard fork, but rather the creation of an entirely new blockchain, of 0. How does the airdrop work? Here are the exact details of how the airdrop will take place:– 35% of the original tokens will be distributed to all LUNA holders before the crash. This means that no less than 350 million of the new LUNA will be reserved for those who bought the tokens before May 7, and kept them even during the crash. Portfolios with less than 10,000 LUNA will receive 30% of their share immediately, and 70% will be returned gradually over two years. – 15% of the LUNAs will be reserved for people who held aUSTs before the crash. – 15% of the initial tokens of the new chain will be reserved for those who bought USTs after the May 7 collapse. – 10% of the new LUNAs will go to those who bought LUNAs after the collapse, and will be returned gradually over a two-year period. – Finally, the remaining 30% will go to the community, to support the efforts of dapp developers. ConclusionIf you were holding LUNA before the collapse, you now know what to expect regarding the airdrop. If you didn't have any and bought them after the collapse, you now own LUNCs, which will continue to coexist with the new LUNAs. As for the question of the success of this rescue, unfortunately this is something we will have to wait and see, no one can say in advance and it will also depend on the overall state of the market.

How to trade a trending market? - 4C Trading. BTC has been in a trading range for 3 months and is now out of it! We could be seeing a resumption of the bullish trend. If you've ever wondered what a trend is and more importantly, how to trade during a trend, you've come to the right place because that's exactly what this article is about. What is a trend? As you may have noticed if you have ever looked at a stock chart, prices do not move in a straight line but rather in oscillations. They alternate between rising and falling phases. When the price increases for a certain period of time, the downward phases will tend to be shorter than the upward phases. We will then say that we are in a bullish trend. The opposite is also true for a downtrend, the downtrends will be longer than the uptrends. Is the market always trending? That would be far too easy, wouldn't it? All we have to do is look for signs that the trend is ending and move to the other side to benefit from it every time. No my dear friends, price behavior is much more complex than that. When prices reach the end of their run, after an uptrend for example, they will tend to rest, and move flat. This is called a trading range! It is extremely important to be able to recognize them, otherwise your gains during the trend will evaporate. Indeed, a trend following system will not work during a range and will give many false signals. How to recognize a trend? I mentioned above that there are up and down phases in a trend. When an uptrend ends, it marks a high point and when a downtrend ends, it marks a low point. In the case of an uptrend, there must be a sequence of higher and higher highs as well as a sequence of higher and higher lows. The opposite is true for a downtrendOn the chart below, we can distinguish higher and lower high points and lower and lower low points indicating that we are in a bearish trend. How to trade during a trend? There are many ways to trade a trend, and we will discuss some key indicators that will help you to see more clearly and filter out some of the false signals. SuperTrend The SuperTrend is an excellent trend indicator and can be used in different ways: to set stop-losses, to identify support and resistance areas and to get buy or sell signals. VolumeVolume is one of the most relevant indicators in technical analysis. They allow you to judge the strength of a movement. In the context of trend following, they should be used to confirm a breakout from a previous high point. A breakout without volume is likely to be wrong. An approach could be to enter a SuperTrend long signal, only if we can observe higher high and higher low and to filter that with the volume. If the volume is above its average at the time of the signal, we can open a long trade. ConclusionTrend following is one of the easiest things to implement in the trading world. However, the key to success will again lie in your creativity and rigorous backtesting. Follow your strategy once it is confirmed, and don't succumb to FOMO!

How to trade in a range? - 4C Trading. Last week we discussed trend trading, and now you know that this is one of the easiest ways to trade. This week we're going to discuss its opposite, range trading. How to trade in a range? It's a little more complicated, are you ready? Let's get started! What is a trading range? The financial markets have two major states, they either move in a trend, it can be bullish with a series of higher highs and higher lows. On the other hand, the prices can also move in a downward trend. However, you will agree that this would be a bit too easy. It would be enough to start shorting on the first lower high. A good part of the time, the markets also move flat, in range trading. A current example of this was the evolution of BTC between 33k and 46k. Trading ranges are often periods of distribution or accumulation. After an uptrend, prices will tend to move into a range, which corresponds to a distribution phase. Conversely, after a downtrend, there may be an accumulation phase, with large hands refilling their portfolios before the uptrend resumes. How to trade in a range? It is possible to use another trading system, such as an oscillator-based system. Oscillators work very well during a trading range, and it is best to buy the low end of the range and sell the high end. However, this requires more practice and is a strategy best used by experienced traders. You need to be even more careful to avoid making mistakes that could cost you dearly. You can see an example of a range trade below. We clearly see that the oscillators coincide with the approach of the support or resistance. However, before we can trade, these must first be established, and then we enter the second key. There is a multitude of strategies that work in range trading and we have deliberately given a simple example here. As with any other strategy, preparation, backtesting, and self-control will remain the main factors for success. ConclusionPrior to making your next trading move, it is important to have a clear understanding of which phase the market is at, based on the time frame that you plan to trade. Range trading can be more complicated than a trend-following system, remember that no matter what strategy you use, the hardest part will be applying your plan to the letter and therefore controlling your emotions.

How to choose the right type of crypto trading bots - 4C Trading. You've done your research and you want to give crypto trading bots a try but where do you start from? Which type of trading bots should you go with? Are there differences between the different types of crypto trading bots? And what about the difficulty levels? Are they all as easy to use as they appear to be? You've come to the right place—that's what we will be discussing today. Let's take a deeper look at the four most common types of crypto trading bots and which one may suit your needs and goals. Different crypto trading bots for different usagesBefore we go further, it's important to understand that behind every trading bot, there is a pre-programmed strategy—artificial intelligence or algorithms, a set of parameters or rules, to help the bot determine the most opportunistic moments to execute buy and sell orders. These could range from volume, time frame and various other market conditions. There are several types of algorithms and not all of them are suitable for everyone. Indeed, some algorithms are more recommended if you are just starting out in trading and especially so if you do not yet have complete control over your emotions. In some cases, even by using trading bots, we do not completely eliminate the need to control our emotions. Often we have seen those who decide to take things into their own hands by cutting the algorithm, temporarily or permanently. In some cases, people may even take the extreme route of exiting the market, only to return later when the market shows strength. Unfortunately, the above is often executed at the worst moment—during times of panic and stress. The lesson here? Even when you have decided to utilize trading bots to trade on your behalf, it is important to not let your emotions take over the control and coerce you into doing something which you might regret later on. Next, there are trading bots that are reserved for investment funds, such as low-latency or high-frequency trading strategies, which rely on extremely fast execution, in the order of a thousandth of a second, to be profitable. Given that there are so many trading bots in the market, here are the four most common types of crypto trading bots and how to use the. DCA BotsThis type of bot has a very simple operation which makes it a great bot for beginners. Indeed, DCA simply stands for “Dollars Cost Averaging”, which means, entering a position not in one go, but by spreading the entry points so as to have a lower average price. DCA Bots are used to build longer term positions, to help you not miss that famous dip! This type of algorithm is beginner friendly, in the sense that it doesn't strain your nerves, if you accept that you are more into investing and not short term trading. Instead of monitoring the market every single moment for dips or opportunities to buy, the DCA Bots will help you execute the order without you having to lift a linger. Long / short botHere we enter a rather broad category of strategies, which apply for the most part to futures, even if we can have a mix between spot and futures strategies, be long spot and short futures for optimal hedging. Long/short algorithms can take the form of a trend-following system, which will then aim to capture a direction and hold on to it as long as possible. This type of bots remains accessible for beginners, even if we are in a slightly less long-term perspective, and the expected drawdown can sometimes be quite high. We can also find mean-reverting algorithms, which unlike trend-following, will rely on the assumption that after a bullish or bearish excess, prices will automatically tend towards their average. This type of strategy is rather contrarian and therefore more recommended for the more experienced. Arbitrage BotsThis category of bots is reserved for more experienced users, as its design requires a more advanced knowledge of the mechanisms of trading platforms. As you know if you have already opened several trading platforms, the prices tend to be the same but there are differences. An arbitrage bot will then use these differences to take advantage of them. In a deliberately simplified way, it will buy on one exchange to sell on another and pocket the difference. Market Making BotsMarket making bots are again reserved for more experienced traders, and their goal is often to take advantage of a spread between the bid and ask price. However, market making bots can be used to reduce this spread by bringing liquidity to the market, which is often the case on exchange platforms, or for a new crypto project. You can't launch a project without securing the services of a market maker. ConclusionThe above four most common types of crypto trading bots are the most popular amongst retail traders and investors of all levels, from beginner to advanced. Once you have decided on the type of crypto trading bots to trade with, the next thing you will have to consider is your trading capital and diversification. It is worth mentioning that rule number one in trading and investing: only do so with your disposable income. In other words, it's “money that you can afford to lose”. Next comes the part subject of diversification. Instead of having all your funds in one bot, it is wise to spread them across different bots with different risk levels. A good indication to gauge the risk levels is of course, the percentage of drawdown. Next, consider the exchange that the crypto trading bots trade on. Given that Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is one of the hottest trends in finance and poised to grow even bigger in 2022 and beyond, finding crypto trading bots that trade on DeFi is definitely worth exploring, if you have not done so. Superbots is a good place to start. Currently in beta version and six bots that trade exclusively on DeFi, the crypto trading bots are already showing signs of powerful performance. Its ETH Infinity bot made +30% in just February 2022 alone, closing the month with spectacular results. And the icing of the cake? There are no fees to pay when using the bots! You only pay a performance fee when the bots make profit. With thousands of traders and investors already on board using the bots to trade, you don't one to be the last or worse, get left behind! Join the Superbost adventure today and be part of DeFi. As Elon Musk's famous tweet said “Don't defy DeFi”.

What is a trend reversal in crypto trading? - 4C Trading. What is a trend ? To understand what a trend reversal is, we must first start by defining a trend. Simply put, a trend is a series of lower and higher lows and higher and higher highs as we can see on the chart just below. Conversely, a downtrend is a sequence of lower and lower lows and lower and lower highs as we can see in the chart below. What is a trend reversal? We now know how to determine the existence of a trend and it's not that complicated, right? Well, for a trend reversal to occur, prices must also follow a few simple rules. In the case of an uptrend in place :– Prices fail to register a higher high, which results in a lower high. – Prices register a lower low. If we have one of these two characteristics, we still can't draw a conclusion even if they are good clues for the future, we have to wait for the confirmation of a lower high and a lower low to conclude that the uptrend is reversing. In the case of a downtrend :– Prices fail to register a lower low, which results in a higher low. – The prices register a higher high after the higher low. As with the uptrend reversal, we cannot rely on only one of the two characteristics. What are the clues? As I said above, even if it is necessary to wait for confirmation to declare a trend reversal, there are several clues that we can use to guide us on how to proceed while waiting for the reversal. The Japanese CandlesticksJapanese candlesticks are the most classic way to represent stock prices. They can take different forms and will therefore have a different meaning. The hammer, which is characterised by a long wick and a smaller body can indicate an imminent bullish reversal. This will of course not be enough but it can prevent us from opening a new short position if we are waiting for a bullish reversal to be confirmed. FibonacciFibonacci levels are also very useful tools to help us detect reversals. Indeed, it is not uncommon to see a last low before reversal around the 61. 8% Fibonacci reversal. As with candlesticks, this should be used as a cautionary measure until a reversal is confirmed. ConclusionIs there a better way to trade crypto? And not have to worry about trend reversals? Let's face it: staring at the screen all day and night is not the way to live, no matter how much money you can make from trading.

Secrets to trading success revealed! - 4C Trading. How to find the right Swings? Most of the time, prices of any negotiable value fluctuate within a certain range. On the stock market, it is often said that the market varies up to 80% of the time. To look for potential trading opportunities, one approach is to first look at your charts in one of the longest periods, for example the daily period or the 4-hour period. Once you have identified a promising position, move to a shorter period, such as the one-hour period, to look for specific entry opportunities. In general, there are three important factors to consider when looking for an entry as a swing trader:1- Fluctuations should occur in the same general direction as the trend that is emerging in the highest time frames. 2- If you exchange cryptos, look for momentum in pairs that share similar characteristics to the one you exchange. For example, if you are considering exchanging a privacy crypto like Dash, the idea is to see how other coins like Monero or Zcash do. 3- Carefully assess the trend. Is it getting stronger or weaker? A downward trend could mean that it is about to change direction, while an upward trend could mean the opposite. Another question is whether the volume of transactions still supports this trend? Upward trends with a gradual increase in volume are considered to be the most robust. As swing traders, we have to be aggressive when we detect good opportunities. You can't afford to miss out on good opportunities. Make sure you earn enough on your good trades to compensate for the inevitable losses that will result. Similarly, a swing trader must also know when to stay out of the market. It is just as important to recognize the conditions that keep you away as it is to be aggressive in the right conditions. Finally, remember the words of the legendary trader Jesse Livermore: “There is a time to go long, a time to go short, and a time to go fishing. ”ConclusionSometimes there is just no way to anticipate what lies ahead no matter how bullish the momentum may be. Take for instance, the recent dip that resulted since November 2021—after multiple rejections of attempting to break out of the $38K level, BTC is still not giving up! The route to $100K BTC is indeed paved with unforeseen challenges but certainly we will get there!

ETH 2.0 and ADA are good examples of the above.Take Ethereum Staking as an example – by locking an amount of ETH for a specific period of time, you'll be contributing to the security of the Ethereum blockchain and in return, earn network rewards.Can you make good profits from staking? The answer depends on how much you're investing and the time horizon you allocate to it.Is it safe? Just like every investment type, there is always a certain amount of risk involved. Having said that, with cold staking you can stake your crypto using a hardware wallet or another cold wallet. The advantage of this is that the funds are safe because the wallet is not connected to the internet. You need physical access to your wallet to manage the funds.

Key PointsThere are plenty of great reason to start investing in cryptocurrencyLearn how to properly start investing in cryptoHow to prepare before making any decisionsGetting started with crypto trading botsThere are various reasons why you might be interested in crypto-money, you've heard about it on the news, one of your friends advised you, and so on.Nevertheless, first of all, we will review the different ways of operating in the cryptos market: Mining, Trading, Investing.MiningMining is the keystone of blockchain technology because it allows securing transactions in exchange for a reward. It is similar to a mathematical puzzle and the first person to solve it will receive crypto, depending on which one you mine. This can be Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others.TradingTrading is generally what attracts newcomers the most, with an idea of quick wealth in mind. Nothing is further from reality unfortunately, there are no shortcuts. More technically, Trading consists of buying crypto at a low price in order to resell it at a higher price.Holding/InvestingThe purpose of investing is the same as that of trading, i.e. to make money by buying crypto at a low price and selling it at a higher price, but with one difference. The timing or investment horizon is not at all the same, holding being a long-term strategy after having done fundamental research on a project.Tokens and coinsThe difference between a coin and a token is actually very simple! A coin is a token that has its own blockchain, such as BTC, ETH, or LINK. A token on the other hand does not have its own blockchain and is created on an existing protocol, ETH most often like most DeFi projects. Why is investing in cryptocurrency a good idea?You probably are curious about how investing in cryptocurrency works. Although crypto may seem mysterious in many ways, it's still a valuable investment.If you analyze the price history of Bitcoin between 2009 – 2019, you'll see that in the last decade Bitcoin has grown 8,999,900%. In 2019 alone, BTC gained +96% compared to gold's growth at +10.8%.Cryptocurrency is the way of the future, so there are plenty of reasons why investing in crypto is a good idea. Some of the main reasons why crypto is an attractive investment include its encryption and ease of sending transactions.Crypto is transparentWhen conducting transactions with crypto, each transaction is recorded on a ledger known as the “blockchain”. After a transaction is completed, it's recorded and stored on a “block”, which is then added to the chain. A blockchain is a series of these data blocks, allowing for transparent views into past transactions.With every transaction being recorded on the blockchain, this allows for greater prevention of malicious activities. Fraud, identity theft, and wrongful transactions are able to be resolved through a search through the recorded data.Transactions are safe and secureYou won't be waiting for a long time for a transaction to finish processing when using crypto. The transaction speeds of crypto are incredibly fast when compared to traditional bank transfers. A crypto coin's transactional speed is measured in TPS (transactions per second).Today, the three fastest cryptocurrencies in the world are EOS (3,000 TPS), Ripple (1,500 TPS), and Stellar Lumens (1,000+ TPS). Popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have slower transaction speeds but are still much faster than regular money transfers.Thanks in particular to mining, the transactions on a blockchain are secured, but this does not prevent being careful.Firstly, some blockchains are more resistant to hacking than others, because it would require so much computing power to crack them that it is impossible.Secondly, you are the only master of your mistakes, if you make a typo in the recipient's address, your transaction will be lost and not returned as it could be with a normal transfer.Finally, always make sure to use a 2FA method such as google authenticator to add extra security to your account/wallet.The encryption of a crypto coin and it's blockchain make it incredibly difficult for hackers to penetrate. Crypto holders can rest assured that reputable trading platforms implement advanced security measures, however, it's also good to practice due diligence to keep your crypto assets safe.Crypto is free from any “middlemen”A major draw of a crypto coin is its freedom from banks, government, and other types of middlemen. This distances the currency from outside forces that may cause it to become devalued. Nigeria and other countries, plagued by corruption, have turned to cryptocurrency as a way to gain economic freedom.By removing a middleman from the equation, crypto is able to charge smaller fees for transactions. Some cryptos even have no transaction fees.There is a potential for high returnsWith crypto's popularity growing there is a major possibility for a high return on investment. Investing in several cryptocurrencies can net you a larger reward. Being an early investor in a new coin might be risky, but if the coin skyrockets in value, you'll earn a massive profit.How can I invest in cryptocurrency?If you are ready to get started with investing in cryptocurrency but don't know where to start, then it's time to discuss crypto exchanges. In order to properly invest, you'll need to locate a trustworthy exchange to buy the crypto you want from.Buying from a crypto exchangePurchasing crypto from an exchange is the most common method of investment. There are two things you'll need when buying from an exchange. A wallet for storing your newly obtained crypto and a crypto exchange platform.Some of the biggest crypto exchanges include:BinanceFTXCoinbaseKrakenYou can hold your cryptos directly in the exchange if the goal is to trade with them but for holding, It's recommended to use another wallet.Once you have decided on the crypto exchange to go with, you will need to make sure you have a crypto wallet – a tool that allows you to send and receive cryptocurrencies. There are basically three groups of wallets: software, hardware, and paper. Alternatively, you may have heard of the terms ‘hot wallet' and ‘cold wallets'. Essentially, hot wallets are connected to the internet and allow easy set-up and access. Cold wallets. on the other hand, are an external tool and they are not stored on a platform.Choosing your choice of wallet is very straight forward. Most exchanges provide the option to set up wallets on the platform itself or you can choose from the list below:ExodusElectrumJaxxMyceliumIs investing in cryptocurrency risky?Just like any sort of investment risk is involved with cryptocurrency. With crypto being so new there is a lot of speculation around it being unstable. These worries should not deter you from investing in crypto. Similarly to the stock market, you'll need to do the needed research before making any moves.Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have become more mainstream over time. This has contributed to boosts in confidence in crypto from the public. As the popularity and confidence in crypto rose, more businesses have begun accepting crypto payment options.Overall, crypto should never be viewed as a “get rich quick” scheme.

It's a better strategy to diversify your portfolio.Always check the crypto market daily– Be prepared to witness the prices of your crypto go up and down. This is normal in the crypto world so try to refrain from making quick decisions. Keep up-to-date on potential forces that may influence the market, such as hacker attacks, infrastructure news, and regulation of currency.Know the tools you plan to use– Do the proper research on the crypto exchange, wallet, or any other tool you plan to use.

How do you avoid this?There are several ways to avoid getting caught in the trap and the most classic is training. However, it is important to keep in mind that trading is one of the most difficult skills to learn and that it takes time to learn. If you don't want to or can't invest that much time, there are alternatives whereby you can trade crypto and make a profit even if you don't have the time or experience to do so!Algorithmic tradingWhat is algorithmic trading? It is simply a set of pre-programmed software that is designed to help traders and investors execute orders (buy and sell) based on certain rules and variables such as time, price volume etc. Unlike manual trading, algorithmic or algo trading has no emotions and is capable of working round the clock. It is very suitable for those of various experience levels and especially for those who want to take the complexity out of trading.How does it work you wonder? With the 4C SMART Bots, after you have signed up for the 14 days free trial or a paid subscription, you just need to set up the accounts and connect your API keys and the SMART BTC, ETH, LINK, BNB and SOL automated trading bots will do the trading for you.It is good to note that the long-term results of algorithmic trading is of utmost importance, not just the latest or short term results. This is because crypto is a long-term play and those with staying power will ultimately win big when combined with a longer time horizon.How have the 4C SMART Bots been performing since 2019? Below is a graph that shows the ROI based on a projection of $100K trading capital that dates back from January 2019 to December 2021. The data reveal two important factors that contribute to the handsome returns: A long time horizon and the diversification between the bots – don't put all your trading capital into one bot because the market is volatile and diversification is crucial.Trading SignalsIf you prefer to stay in control of your trading, you can sign up for a trading signals service. A signal is usually a buy recommendation with a profit target and stop-loss. This allows you to trade manually while completing your training.At 4C-Trading, we have recently launched the Traders Trade Signals – manual crypto signals that are posted on our premium 4C-Trading Telegram channel, Trade Room, to allow the traders and investors to combine automated crypto trading with manual trading. This is yet another way of diversification.The Traders Trade Signals are accessible on Trade room on Telegram by all who sign up for the 14 days free trial as well as members with a paid subscription.ConclusionLike everything in life, it takes a substantial investment to achieve substantial results. You can take a shortcut by using Trading Signals or Algorithmic Trading, but it will never take away that emotional part that you will have to learn to master if you want to succeed in trading. Be it with automated or manual trading, you can indeed make good money provided you can master your emotions (fear and FOMO) and have true staying power. Otherwise, even the best tools in the world will not help you reap results. You are in the driving seat and you get to determine how much money you wish to accumulate!The role of 4C-Trading is to provide you with a suite of powerful trading tools to help you succeed. So how do you make the most of these trading tools? Well, for one, always diversify! Meaning, the fully automated SMART Bots should be added to your crypto portfolio and it should be viewed as a long-term play, a passive income of sorts. For the immediate and short term play, you can always count on the manual crypto signals, Traders Trade SIgnals, to help you take advantage of the pockets of opportunities and polish your trading skills.Even if you are only interested in the other means to profit from the crypto market such as staking and NFTs, adding the 4C SMART Bots to your portfolio is a wise move. After all, why would you say “no” to an additional stream of passive income?Try out the 4C SMart Bots completely free of charge for 14 days if you are still hesitating!

We have been talking about it for a while now, the return of manual trades at 4C-Trading is coming soon! Indeed, at the very beginning of our adventure, when we were still called Crypto-Addicts, we shared signals on Telegram in the most classic way.We then developed automatic crypto trading tools and gradually abandoned this manual aspect of our services.

We hear you!As part of our commitment to deliver trading tools and features that allow the 4C members to trade more, we will be adding to our list of Roadmap 2022, starting with the newly launch SMART BNB and SOL automated trading bots, and now, manual crypto trading signals on Telegram—Traders Trade Signals!

For others, it allows them to trade manually, to feel the emotions while being accompanied.For those who do not want to trade manually, the release of phase 2 of Traders Trades on automation, will allow them to reduce their overall exposure to the market by taking advantage of the possibility of shorting and better diversification.For the active traders who want to maximize their gains and opportunities from the crypto market, they will enjoy this feature as Traders Trade Signals allow them to complement manual trading with automated trading via the 4C SMART Bots—BTC, ETH, LINK, BNB & SOL.
