### Trading Rules

1. Focus on Percentage, Not Dollar Amount
- Risk and reward should be measured in percentages relative to your account size, not the dollar amount. This helps maintain consistent risk management.

2. Risk Management: 1-2% Per Trade
- Limit your risk to 1-2% of your total trading capital on any single trade. This protects you from large losses and helps ensure long-term sustainability.

3. Mental Health Comes First
- Stay mindful of your mental health. If you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take a break from trading. Emotional clarity is key to good decision-making.

4. Move Stop Loss to Break-Even (B.E.) After TP1
- Once price hits your first take profit (TP1), move your stop loss to break-even to protect yourself from any potential reversal.

5. Never Chase Trades
- Wait for your setup. If you miss an entry, let it go. Don't chase the market or force trades. Patience is essential.

6. Follow Your Strategy, No Deviations
- Stick to your strategy at all times. Trust the process, and avoid impulsive decisions based on emotions or outside opinions.

7. Always Have an Exit Plan
- Know your entry, exit, and stop loss points before entering any trade. A plan helps reduce emotional decision-making during the trade.

8. Take a Break If Consistency Is Challenging
- If you find yourself struggling to maintain consistency or becoming emotionally unstable, take a week off from trading. Reflection and rest are necessary for long-term success.

9. Long-Term Trader Mentality
- Be prepared for trades to take days to weeks. Patience and a long-term outlook are vital to your trading approach.

10. Take Profit Distribution:
- TP1: Close 50% of your position at the first target.
- TP2: Close 25% of your position at the second target.
- TP3: Close 15% of your position at the third target.
- Leave 10% of your position to run, aiming for larger gains if the market continues in your favor.

11. I Always Use a Stop Loss because my trades are long term Scalping is very different.....
- Your stop loss is there to protect you from major losses. Never trade without one.

12. Disclaimer
- These rules and methods work for me personally. Trading is a highly individual process—find your own goals and develop a strategy that suits you. If my strategy resonates with you, feel free to follow it, but always analyze the chart and assess the trade setup before executing.

btc's been holding up nicely in this ascending channel, sitting around $108,950 after that clean break above $100k. the structure looks solid - we've got those higher lows intact and buyers keep stepping in at the channel support. that dormant wallet story yesterday with 80k coins moving barely made a dent, which shows real conviction at these levels.

we're consolidating in the $107k-$109k range, and it feels like we're coiling up for the next move. the rsi setup is pretty healthy too - btc's sitting around 56-57 while the heatmap average is at 54.20. that's right in the sweet spot where we've got momentum without being overbought. weekly rsi at 58 gives us plenty of room to run.

what's interesting is the altcoin rotation starting to heat up. bonk and tia are pushing overbought while xlm, trx, hbar, and aave are all sitting strong between 60-70 rsi. this risk-on behavior in alts usually means traders are getting confident about btc's next move. they're positioning ahead of what they think is coming.

resistance sits at $110k - the big psychological level plus upper channel boundary. support is solid around $107k with deeper backing at $106.7k where those 1.68 million addresses are holding. below that, we'd probably drift to $105k.

for a bullish setup, we need $110k to break with authority. a clean close above there should trigger a run toward $112k-$113k, maybe even that $115k target if the inverse head and shoulders plays out.

for a bearish setup, losing $107k decisively would probably mean a pullback to $105k. breaking $105k would be more concerning and might signal deeper correction back toward $100k-$102k.
the institutional flow is still there - blackrock accumulating, corporate treasuries buying, regulatory environment couldn't be better. technicals support higher prices and altcoin behavior suggests continuation.

my take? bullish with tight risk. using $107k as my line in the sand since it's held multiple times. if we break $110k cleanly, i'm adding to longs targeting $113k-$115k. until then, holding core positions and letting this channel play out. momentum's there, fundamentals are there, and everything's lining up nicely.
