Whale Trading

Whales’ Trading Overview

This section breaks down what it actually means
to “trade like a whale” into concrete techniques and structure.

Instead of simply asking “Which coin should I buy?”,
we explore how to view the market,
which tools to use,
and how to manage risk.

Although everything here is explained with crypto markets in mind,
most concepts about charts, patterns, and risk
apply equally to stocks, FX, and other asset classes.

📌 What This Section Covers

The trading section is organized into the following flow:

  1. Orientation – Aligning your trading worldview
  2. Chart Basics & Setup – Chart environment and fundamentals
  3. Pattern Recognition – Understanding candle and chart patterns
  4. Technical Indicators – Using indicators as supportive tools
  5. Trading Strategies – Combining everything into executable plans
  6. Risk Management – Rules to protect your account
  7. Glossary – A reference index for all key terms

Each part can be studied independently,
but following the full sequence takes you from
“knowing nothing” → “being able to execute concrete strategies.”

1. Orientation – Forming Your Trading Framework

orientation

The orientation section focuses not on “technique,”
but on the perspective necessary for trading.

  • Trading as a probability game
  • Why human psychology disrupts performance
  • Why we use charts
  • Finding your preferred trading style
  • Why systems outperform intuition
  • How to survive losing streaks

This sets the foundation for why you study all the skills that follow
and aligns every future concept in the same direction.

2. Chart Basics & Setup – Tools and Fundamentals

chart-settings
chart-basics

This phase is about aligning your tools and language.

  • TradingView, exchange charts, Cryptowatch setup
  • Candle structure and meaning
  • Orderbook & tape
  • Purpose of different timeframes
  • Volume analysis
  • Support & Resistance
  • Swing vs Correction
  • Golden/Death Cross and other essentials

At this point, you move from
“Seeing nothing on the chart”
to “Recognizing structure and information.”

3. Pattern Recognition – Developing Market Structure Literacy

patterns/candles
patterns/chart

This part teaches repeatable structures in price charts.

  • Single-candle and multi-candle patterns
  • Trend continuation patterns (triangles, wedges, etc.)
  • Reversal patterns (double top/bottom, H&S, dead cat bounce)
  • Wave-based structures (Elliott, Harmonic, Dow Theory)

The goal is not memorization,
but understanding why certain patterns matter at specific locations.

4. Technical Indicators – Using Indicators as a Language

indicators

Indicators are not the main character—
they are translators that help quantify structure.

  • Trend indicators: MA, MACD, Ichimoku, PSAR, DMI/ADX
  • Oscillators: RSI, Stochastic, CCI, Dual Momentum
  • Volatility: Bollinger Bands, ATR, ADR
  • Others: Fibonacci, VR (Volume Ratio)

You learn to use indicators as supporting tools,
not “magic signals.”

5. Trading Strategies – Bringing Everything Together

strategy

Now we combine charts, patterns, and indicators
into actual, executable strategies.

  • Trend-following using moving averages
  • MA Cross, Golden/Death Cross
  • MACD, Ichimoku, DMI-based systems
  • RSI/Bollinger mean reversion
  • Support/Resistance, double top/bottom
  • Breakout/fakeout techniques
  • Elliott/Fibonacci/volume-based setups

Each strategy explains both its strengths
and the market conditions it works best in.

6. Risk Management – Designing for Account Survival

risk-management

This is more important than any strategy.

  • Risk-reward and R-multiples
  • Stop-loss and exit rules
  • Position sizing (fixed %, ATR-based)
  • Daily/weekly max-loss limits
  • Understanding drawdowns
  • Psychology of loss

Trading is not about
“how often you’re right,”
but “how you manage being right and wrong.”

7. Glossary – A Consolidated Reference

glossary

Here you’ll find terms and concepts
used throughout the trading section.

  • Basic chart terms
  • Indicator and strategy terminology
  • Risk/psychology terminology

A practical reference you can revisit anytime.
