I think it's important to show you some real situations in addition to explaining the basics, so I'm attaching a screenshot of my latest trades.. we are on the 1-hour time frame so we can see a broader period but remember that I work on the 15-minute tf.. the first trade is highlighted in orange, where orders came in at night while I was sleeping, I then set a limit of 2.19 as a line beyond which I would not accept losses, it wasn't an arbitrary figure, if you open the tf for 3 days and zoom in on the chart, you'll see that the area between 2.19 and 2.23 was a very solid area in the past where the price stayed for a long time.. fortunately, the support held and I was able to let the trade run, where you see the Xs on the white markers are fake sales, the first is for 3 xrp and the second is for 10 xrp.. (I needed them for other reasons) the real final sale was made at the bottom of the orange area.. (if you don't trust me, I can show you the screenshots of the trades..)

then we have another standard operation in light blue

the current one in yellow still open, which has support at 2.40

and then we have a useless operation in purple where I bought and sold immediately after (I didn't like the situation of the chart and the indicators and I was tired, I preferred to close immediately)

finally, I wanted to point out that even if not entirely voluntarily, there was a short operation in blue, meaning I sold and bought back at a lower price later, that operation if I remember correctly yielded an increase of about 35 xrp.. which at the current price is about 80-90 dollars.. obviously, not everything always goes smoothly, you have to be ready to act, cut losses, and take profits, sometimes it will go wrong, the important thing is that you learn and improve and that the final sum is positive for you..

you might not see the signals that I saw during the execution of these trades due to the different tf, but in general, I am satisfied, I will also update you on the yellow trade that is still ongoing.. next lessons on bots
