🚀 How I Know How Far Price Can Fall Before I Get Liquidated
"The whole point of doing this is so that I can sleep at night." On Friday's live call, I pulled up the portfolio advisor I've been building and walked through my own lend/borrow positions to show the one number I watch on every leveraged position: room to liquidation. In this ~5-minute clip, I break down: - Health factor vs. room to liquidation. A health factor of 2.13 on my Canton position sounds abstract. "Price would have to drop 84% before I'm liquidated" doesn't - The baked-in hedge. I supplied CC and borrowed CC (plus a little USDC). Borrowing the volatile asset too means I can be levered long and hedged at the same time, which is where all that downside room comes from - An "at risk" position, up close. 2.16x leverage, health factor 1.49, and the warning flashes the moment it dips under 1.50. It only liquidates on a 47% drop, and for context, the worst single day we've seen lately was Bitcoin down 17% and ETH down 22% on October 10th - Three ways to get back to a 2.0 health factor: repay the stablecoin borrow, add Bitcoin collateral, or, with no new money, withdraw and sell some Bitcoin to pay down the borrow Leverage isn't the problem. Not knowing how much room you have is. Want to jump on the live calls with me, ask me directly, and get Q&A on your own portfolio positions and general crypto/DeFi questions?

🚀 How I Know How Far Price Can Fall Before I Get Liquidated
🚀 Losers Average Losers: Why I Don't Buy the Dip on a Losing Position
"I've been waiting for it to come back down so I can buy some more." On Wednesday's Premium Live Call, a member said that about Canton, and it opened up one of the most important rules I trade by. It comes straight from Paul Tudor Jones (and Jesse Livermore before him): losers average losers. In this ~5-minute clip, I break down what that actually means: - Pyramid up, not down. Buy your first position, and only add as price moves in your favor. When you average up, your gains get bigger. When you average down, your losses get bigger - PTJ's rule, straight from his office wall: "Don't ever average losers. Decrease your trading volume when you're trading poorly, increase your volume when you're trading well" - Long-term, systematic DCA into a diversified index is a different game. Adding fresh money to an active position that's already showing you a loss is how small, controlled losses turn into big ones - A spot position is a trade too. If you bought at 14 cents and it's sitting at 10, you're down roughly 30%. The market is telling you you're wrong, so why would you add fresh capital there? Conviction is great. Just make sure you're also looking at the bearish side of the ledger before you double down.

🚀 A Bitcoin Trading System You Can Write on a Napkin
"You can't go broke taking a profit." Yeah, you can. Totally. On Monday's Premium Live Call, a member asked for one simple, beginner trading strategy he could open up every day and actually follow. So I built one live, from scratch. In this ~5-minute clip, I walk through what a real trading system looks like, and it's stupid simple: - Start small with as little leverage as possible, 1.5x to 2x max - Track three numbers: your win rate, how much you make when you're right, and how much you lose when you're wrong. If your losers are bigger than your winners, you can take profits all day and still go broke - Entry trigger: in a bull cycle, pullbacks get bought. If Bitcoin touches its 50-day moving average, buy BTC with $200 of margin at 2x ($400 position) - Decide what you're willing to lose BEFORE you think about what you'll make. A 10% hit on that $200 is $20 - Exit for a loss: at 2x, that $20 means Bitcoin drops more than 5% below the 50-day MA. That's your stop That's a full system: a trigger to get in, a rule to get out when you're wrong, and the numbers to tell you if it's working.

🚀 A Bitcoin Trading System You Can Write on a Napkin
Before you open a leveraged trade, what do you check first?
This week's flush liquidated more than half a billion dollars in positions, mostly longs. On Wednesday's Node show I walked through why. Bitcoin's expected move is often plus or minus 3 to 4% a day, and ETH's can run 5%. At 50x, a move of about 2% against you can wipe the margin. My take: leverage isn't a system. A system is rules you built and run consistently, with no emotion. Reply with A (I check the asset's normal daily range first) or B (I check my liquidation price first).
