Key takeaways
- The trader says he aimed for a $10,000 daily goal, ending the session with $8,100 in profit.
- His second trade nearly hit $10,000 unrealized before he locked in only $2,300 as the market reversed.
- A later trade during the Asia session resulted in a full loss, putting him down about $1,000 on fees at one point.
- He describes risking roughly $2,000 per position and repeatedly reducing risk to breakeven once trades moved in his favor.
- Final trades of the day added partial profits of $4,000 and $3,900 (almost $5,900), closing out around 11 p.m.
Setting up the day around Bitcoin's structure
The trader begins his routine before the New York Stock Exchange opens at 9:30, checking Bitcoin on daily and 4-hour timeframes to decide a directional bias for the session. He identifies key zones where price might react, saying the goal is to "keep my loss small, let my wins run, and see how much profit we can make on the day." He frames his approach as placing smaller trades repeatedly at areas where probability favors his direction.
His first trade, on Solana, is built around a Fibonacci-style setup, entering near a "61.8 ratio" after a five-wave move. He describes risking $2,000 per position with a target of five times that for a $10,000 outcome. The trade stalls near a resistance area, and he reduces risk to breakeven rather than holding through uncertainty.
A near-$10,000 trade shrinks to $2,300, then a quieter stretch
After a shift down in the market, he enters a short position near a key lower level and quickly sees a strong move in his favor, at one point sitting on close to $10,000 in unrealized profit after about two hours. He describes the discipline required to stay patient, but the market reverses before he can capture the full gain. He exits for $2,300, remarking that locking in some profit "by around lunchtime is pretty good."
The next few trades are less decisive. A power-hour trade and another setup both get closed at breakeven after reducing risk, and he says he is "still opening myself up to opportunity that I know eventually is going to pay off." He describes stepping away from charts between trades to work on other projects or go to the gym, managing positions from his phone.
Asia session swings bring a loss, then a late recovery to $8,100
Entering the Asia session, he takes a trade that goes against him, saying "Asia session opened and pushed volume into Solana on the upside and took us out of our position for a full loss," leaving him down roughly $1,000 on the day in fees. He then identifies a structural shift around the "previous day low," leading to a new short entry that works in his favor; he locks in a partial profit of almost $4,000 before letting the remainder trail.
A final trade near an area he calls a "sweep" rejection adds further gains before he ends the session around 11 p.m., citing fatigue from the later hours. Tallying the day, he lists a breakeven first trade, a $2,300 second trade, three breakeven or losing trades in a row, and two late trades bringing in $4,000 and $5,900 on partial profits. He closes by saying day trading "takes a lot of consistency and a lot of effort," noting he made $8,100 that day, an amount he says used to take him "two and a half months" to earn.
I was able to make $8,100 today, which used to take me two and a half months to make. — the host
