I have created this X account to use as a personal journal to record ideas and trades. I have been involved in the crypto industry since 2017 as an investor and trader but only recently started to study smart money concepts as taught by @I_Am_The_ICT.

Took a first stab at a $BTC short on the LTF. We had the MSS on the 15M and now retesting the bearish breaker. Tight stop above the breaker as the probability of the HTF range high getting taken is fairly high now that we are so close to it.

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

Was a Friday long which i am not a fan of but held through Saturday. Was checking the chart too often on Saturday and didn't want to do that all Sunday so closed manually at the stacked Bearish OB and Breaker. Had a lovely World Cup Final Sunday in peace.

Chart with the two $BTC trades from last week. The short explained in previous posts (took out EQH & deviated below with FVG to fill. With the Bullish MSB confirmed, price filled the gap into the 4H OB within the OTE (my fav setup). Took the long on the retest of the OB on LTF.

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

This played out perfectly. Caught both the short and then the long. Slowly getting back to consistency. Plan the trade, trade the plan. 🤝 $BTC

@SailorManCrypto Now that I wrote this, feel like i should probably do my charts before getting influenced by CT & charts of others. This way i can see if charts of others are in confluence with mine rather than subconsciously form bias based on others. Think i learned something here. Cheers

The pullback i wanted did not come and pushed higher. Price now in an area I am looking to short on the LTF and now that the leg up had an 12H MSB I will look to long the pullback with the classic OB+OTE setup if it presents itself.

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

This was the $BTC short that hit TP before taking the long yesterday. Played the move down and back up well so happy to be flat now and enjoy the Sunday. Time to recharge and back at it on Monday

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

Busy few days but took the $BTC short on Wednesday with small size and still holding. Aiming for the 4H gap to fill and price to tag the 4H OB within the OTE around 64,800. That's where I will be looking for longs.

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

Just closed the $BTC trade manually well in green. Spent too much time checking the charts today & don't want to spend all weekend doing that. Peaceful Sunday & back at it on Monday. Good setup, trade & happy with the result. Will share the reasons why I took it on Monday prolly

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

Small position $BTC long attempt filled. It's Friday so I would ideally like it to be a quick in and out before the end of the day. Will explain the reasoning later, have some shit to do.

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

Looking for something like this on $BTC
this week. Classic 12H OB+OTE setup may form after getting the Weekly and 12H sweeps, MSB and now price pulling back. Not rushing on this and will look at taking some scalps in the meantime if setups present themselves during the week.

Ended up holding half of the position for a while as real life got in the way and i didnt close manually in time. Since it was a small position, I held through the drawdown and closed once we got above BE. Not good execution but a loss of a family dog can do that. Time to lock in

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

$BTC 12H & 1H closed as a sweep. Had an MSB on the LTF so i took a scalp long at the 15M OB+OTE. Added more at the 5M OB. Bidding the area where a higher high ideally forms on the M5. NY may nuke everything & that is less than 1 hour away. Will close if we lose the M5 structure.

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

Forgot to update on this one. Half position closed at around BE and the other in slight profit.

[Al Michaels @AlexMichaels94]

GM. It was a rough last week in the personal life. Back at it now, making plans for the week.
