Wizztrades is the selective end of the crypto desk. Weeks can pass without a trade, and he says so rather than forcing one. When an alert comes it is a ticker, an entry at current market price, a take-profit and a stop, wrapped in a paragraph of reasoning built on positional flow, volume profile and EMA bands. His stops are usually soft, meaning a candle close beyond the level rather than a touch, and results are reported in R.

( 02 โ€” HOW HE TRADES )

How he trades

  1. 01Check whether the stop is softA soft SL only triggers on a candle close beyond the level, not a wick through it. He sometimes clarifies this in a follow-up after the alert, so read the next message before setting a hard stop order at his level.
  2. 02The reasoning is the filterEvery trade explains itself: flow bearish, OI rising on shorts, EMA band retest. If the reasoning reads like noise to you, skip the trade; you will not know when it has stopped being valid.
  3. 03Size down when he says riskyWhen an alert says risk less or size accordingly, he is trading it small himself. The one time it blows through the stop is the time that instruction mattered.
  4. 04Partials and breakeven on the wayWinners get partial profits taken with the stop moved to breakeven, and positions are often closed into weekends rather than held through thin liquidity.
  5. 05Silence is the strategyHe has gone months without an altcoin trade and posts updates saying there is nothing to do. Do not fill his quiet stretches with your own trades on his behalf.

( 03 โ€” ALERT FORMAT )

What his alerts look like

The alert

โ€œ$HYPE. Entry: CMP TP: 45.25 SL: 55.86. Positional flow is still bearish. Not oversold but not undersold as well. POC+EMA bands retest here.โ€

Entry at current market price, one target, one stop, and the reasoning in the same breath. The stop was later clarified as a soft SL, a 2-hour close above.

Managing the win

โ€œ$HYPE take partials and put stops to BEโ€

The standard mid-trade instruction: lock some profit, make the rest risk-free.

Taking the loss

โ€œ$XRP hit SL yesterday night. Must have been early to this. Let's find something else.โ€

Losses are posted as plainly as wins, with a read on what went wrong and no revenge re-entry.

( 04 โ€” BEFORE YOU FOLLOW )

Notes and warnings

  • Soft stops cannot be set as a normal stop order. You either watch the candle closes or accept that a hard stop at his level will sometimes exit trades he stays in.
  • The soft-SL clarification sometimes arrives after the alert. Check the follow-up messages before placing orders.
  • Results are in R, multiples of what was risked, not percentages.
  • Alerts usually come with a chart; the flow and volume-profile context is drawn on the image.
