Honestly, is it even possible to survive in crypto or is the whole thing just rigged? I’ve spent months studying everything on YouTube, paid for two different "inner circles," and I just blew my entire balance again today. It literally feels like the exact second I press buy or sell, the market hunts my stop loss on purpose. I'm so drained from losing my savings that I’m about to just delete everything and accept defeat.

I stepped into trading thinking I could learn as I go. and while I loved the Challenge, the reality hit Hard. YouTube wasn't enough, and the constant ups And downs left me guessing. I lost More than I won, but it taught me What I was missing.

- Uses of MACD :-

1. Histogram Slope

One of the best explanations for MACD I've seen thus far. I understand how to buy in an up trending marker, but I don't understand how the reverse selling works in a down trend. I have many more pencils to shorten before I get there.

2. Crossovers

3. Zero Line Crossovers

The biggest shift in your trading happens when you stop looking for a magic indicator and start focusing on pure market volume and price action. Indicators are great tools, but they only reflect past data. True consistency comes from understanding institutional footprints and treating your risk management like a real business.

4. Zero Line Pullbacks

5. Divergence

Trading hasn’t turned out as simple as I first thought... Unpredictable markets and conflicting strategies created more confusion than clarity, and my efforts so far haven’t produced steady results. Instead of dwelling on that, I’m looking for clear, actionable guidance to reset and improve my approach.

4. Swap Zones & Zero Line Pullbacks

I always wanted to try trading on My own, so I finally gave it a shot ><Even though the price Swings had me Totally confused. I watched tons of YouTube videos, but it was still hard to Make sense of everything, and I ended up losing most of my trades.

Divergence + Bollinger Bands - which time frame is best.. ??

@ABHIJITHVVIJAYAN

I have spent the last 8 months memorizing every indicator under the sun. RSI, MACD, EMA crossovers... none of it works consistently. Every "strategy" video shows a perfect backtest, but the moment I try to use it live, I get stopped out immediately. Are we all just being fed fake data so the big players can use us as liquidity? Feel like throwing in the towel

@DonaldHawkins-s2k

Watched it few times as I found it fascinating. What are the recommended time frames for the strategies to work best.

@SaudMubarakAlajmi

strategies 2 to 4, time frame were not provided

@akoijam100

please remove the background music, it is distracting, annoying

@archiemr4856

Nothing new here

@Morris-jg8lk

As always. Another shit strategy. Not working. Do not waste your time watching this, and even testing it.

@voidplay3121

I'm thinking to put some cash in stocks, I was at Salt Shack and i overheard some friends saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $445K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?

@swatibajpai3140

After trying out his youtube theories am at a point to see they are just generic advice, what they do not tell you is that their selection of examples are selective. eg @11:09 he talks about divergence but in that example there we two trades which if you used divergence you would be taking hitting stop loss and only one was correct out of three

@dominicnjoroge9045

Wish i knew your channel earlier. Thanks man.

@FocusArea96

What is the signal length setup for this strategy?

@indrafardian435

Thank you !
Very helpful

@StefanOkan-n1k

are this works for trading stocks?

@sofarstori

great!!!

@TheNetOfJesus

At 21:12 in the lesson the picture of the EMA settings shows SMA's rather than EMA settings. Did I miss something here?

@philjostsons8506

I've found that switching to 2 minute candles instead of 1 minute almost completely eliminates false flag crossovers. I enter on the 2 minute crossover, exit on the 1 minute re-cross.

@Bigdutch1525

It is great 💐

@smehta6552

This is one whole package..great video

@raoulrojas1503

@zzairinnzzainoll527

@yanlin-d9k

At 21:12 he shows the settings for the Moving Average Ribbon indicator which are set to SMA MAType but earlier mentions to use the EMA. Oops. Don't really know which one he recommends...

@billdoerrfeld

default BBand MAType = SMA not EMA which is not mentioned here when at he mentions the 200ema
, be careful...

@billdoerrfeld

quick question, why use 200 EMA length for Bollinger Bands? Standard is 20 so I'm curious why 200

@BigBrother-Empire

I’ve been trading for a while now but still struggling. Can anyone recommend a genuine expert who actually helps people trade profitably?

@IvyEmma-b5f

really good video and strategies, thanks for posting.

@jc3444

I like how you explain MACD in a full way and not just “buy when it crosses,” especially the divergence section. I’ve been using the first light beacon to map out the structure and then MACD to confirm momentum, and it’s been working pretty well for me. Good breakdown, I’ll be rewatching this to remember the rules.

@spritelord-q1g

The explanation was very good.

@maheshkatakam7620

This is excellent

@SilenceSunny-y3o

Divergence & Support / Resistance is a real money hack for me 😭 7/10 wins as a beginner using MACD. This is awesome!

@Trader-dove

I am very grateful for how detailed your video was on the MACD and its uses. I am a rookie at day trading and noticed that the candles were having some connections with the MACD but could not figure much what. I just knew that when the MACD started to go south, it was time to get out of the trade. That led me to study those coincidences and your video came with the answers I was looking for. Thank you so much for that.

@deking1973

its the MA200 not EMA200

@1z1l3m0n

Excellent video

@kam1701-kk

Very interesting but will revise again and again before taking step
