A Weekly Crypto Trading Plan for Confluence, Execution, and Risk Control
Summary
This opinion piece proposes a weekly routine for forming and executing crypto trade ideas. It recommends defining a hypothesis before trading, reviewing total crypto market capitalization and Bitcoin on weekly and daily charts, marking support and resistance, and checking macro conditions, news, sentiment, volume, and on-chain activity. It suggests combining multiple indicators to build directional confluence, then setting entries, profit targets, and stop losses in advance.
The plan emphasizes limiting the number of tokens and setups, avoiding entries driven by chasing, using limit orders, and adjusting orders for volatility measured with tools such as ATR, Bollinger Bands, or Keltner Channels. It says position sizing should remain central and encourages stepping away after orders are placed. The article provides a sample Monday-to-weekly workflow, but its risk thresholds and market-open sentiment heuristic are personal guidance rather than validated rules. It presents no backtest or performance evidence; indicators, automation, and confluence do not guarantee profitable trades.
Key ideas
- Begin with a written trade hypothesis and evidence for the directional view.
- Review broader crypto, higher-timeframe charts, macro factors, news, and sentiment before executing.
- Use confluence across multiple signals and plan entries, targets, and stops in advance.
- Account for volatility when placing orders, while keeping position sizing central to risk control.
- The proposed workflow is opinion-based and has no cited performance testing or guarantee of results.
