Are you tired of your stop losses getting hunted? Itā€™s time to stop trading like a retailer and start thinking like an institution.

If you have been trading crypto for a while, you know the feeling: You draw a perfect support line, enter a trade, and watch as the price dips just below your line to hit your stop loss, before rocketing off in the direction you predicted. šŸ˜­

Why does this happen?

It happens because the market isn't moved by retail traders like us. It's moved by institutions, banks, and massive hedge fundsā€”the "Smart Money."

If you want to succeed in crypto, you need to stop using the same basic tools everyone else is using and learn to read the footprints of the big players.

In my upcoming series on Binance Square, we are going to deep-dive into the concepts that change how you view the charts. Here is a sneak peek at the trinity of advanced trading:

1. The Foundation: MSNR (Market Structure & Support/Resistance) šŸ—ļø

Before you try complex strategies, you must master the basics. But we aren't talking about basic trendlines.

Advanced Market Structure is the map. It tells you if the Big Boys are buying (accumulating) or selling (distributing).

  • What we will learn: How to correctly identify Strong Highs vs. Weak Highs, and understanding a true Break of Structure (BOS) versus a fake-out. If you don't know the real trend, you are just gambling.

2. The Footprint: SMC (Smart Money Concepts) šŸ¦

SMC is the study of liquidity. Institutions need massive amounts of liquidity to enter and exit trades without crashing the market. Where do they find that liquidity? Right where your stop loss is sitting.

SMC teaches you to identify where the money is trapped.

  • What we will learn: Identifying Order Blocks (OB)ā€”the exact candles where institutions placed massive ordersā€”and spotting Liquidity Grabs before they happen to you.

3. The Precision: ICT (Inner Circle Trader Concepts) šŸŽÆ

ICT concepts (developed by Michael Huddleston) add the elements of Time and Price precision to SMC. Itā€™s not just about where the price is going, but when itā€™s likely to get there.

  • What we will learn: Utilizing Fair Value Gaps (FVG)ā€”imbalances in price that the market seeks to fillā€”and trading during specific "Kill Zones" (like the New York open) when volatility is highest.

The Journey Begins Now

Combining MSNR, SMC, and ICT gives you "X-Ray vision" for the charts. It doesn't guarantee a 100% win rateā€”nothing doesā€”but it puts the probabilities heavily in your favor.

Over the next few weeks, I will be breaking down each of these concepts individually with real Bitcoin and altcoin chart examples right here on Binance Square.
