Hello Steemians!

After a short vacation, I'm here again as a Crypto Trading Professor. This time the crypto academy has made a very successful start again in a slightly different form than before. Because here we have focused more on trading-related lessons. However, as usual, I always try to present various and interesting lessons about the field of crypto trading. So, today we will talk about one of the most useful and beneficial trading methods used in Cryptocurrency Trading

Today our topic is "Leverage With Derivatives Trading Using 5 Min Chart" I think a lot of people are already aware of this Derivatives Trading method. In today's lesson, we will learn how to do that Trading method safely and beneficially using special Trading Tactics. So let's go straight to the lesson.

Leverage trading can be defined as one of the most lucrative and as well as very risky methods that we can use in Crypto trading. The main feature here is the ability to trade with multiple times the monetary value of the capital we have. As an example, if someone has $ 10 in their exchange wallet, he can trade ten times or more of that amount using the Leverage Trading facility.

Here it is possible to make a profit, especially in a Market Uptrend and as well as a Market Downtrend. That is, you can trade as "long" if the market appears to be up and actually make a profit when the market goes up, and trade as "short" if the market appears to be down and actually make a profit when the market goes down.

The important thing to keep in mind is that Leverage Trading can make a huge profit and if we fail to accurately identify market behaviour, we may lose even the full amount we have invested and this is what we call Liquidation. That is why we need to use specialized security strategies when following these types of Trading Methods. We will further discuss these special strategies through the next subtopics.

As I described earlier, Leverage Trading is a very beneficial Trading method as compared to other traditional Cryptocurrency Trading methods such as Spot Trading and Staked Trading. So let's discuss the special benefits of Leverage Trading.

• We have the ability to borrow more money at very low-interest rates based on our initial capital. Especially, in this case, there is no need to repay the loan separately as the borrowing is a spontaneous process.

• Even if the market does not move as we expected, it can be saved by using a mode like cross margin and adding extra funds to it without having to liquidate all the money.

• As we have the ability to see the profit easily without calculating, we can leave the market when the relevant profit is shown.

• It is possible to obtain a portion of the profits of an existing leverage order without closing the entire order.

• Leveraged trading techniques such as scalp trading can be used to make a profit and exit from the market as quickly as possible.

Although leverage trading is a very profitable trading method, there are some disadvantages as well. Here I will discuss the special disadvantages and weaknesses of Leverage Trading.

• leverage trading is very risky as compared to other Crypto Trading Methods. Therefore, even a small mistake can ruin our entire investment.

• In spot trading, there is no fee for holding coins and waiting for them to increase, but here we are charged a specified amount of money from our investment as periodic funding fees.

• When the market behaves in an unexpected way, all the money will be lost (Liquidation) when the loss equals the initial capital.

• Even when the level of liquidation is kept to a minimum and the trade is kept at a loss for a long time, the initial capital is depleted day by day and the level of liquidation rises.

In Leverage Trading, we should have a clear vision of the relevant Market Trend before placing an order. It is an important fact in leverage Trading. Therefore, we can filter the trend using different trend-based indicators such as MAs, EMAs, Parabolic SAR, Supertrend, MACD and many other indicators.

Here I will not deeply explain the above-mentioned indicators as we have already learned and practised them a few times in previous lessons. However, I will use several indicators for this trading strategy.

1.) Parabolic SAR

• Here we don't need to change any settings related to the Parabolic SAR indicator. However, we can modify its colour or thickness according to our choice.

2.) Relative Strength Index

• For the RSI indicator, we can modify a few settings in the Styles menu. Here we can uncheck "RSI-based MA", "Upper Bollinger Band", "Lower Bollinger Band", "RSI Upper Band" and "RSI Lower Band". And also, we can change its "Background Color" to any white Based Color and the "Middle Band" Colour to any highlighted Color. Specially, we can increase thicknesses or RSI and Middle band.

3.) Exponential Moving Average (Input 200 period)

• In the EMA indicator, I can select 200 as the length of the EMA input and change its colour and thickness according to our choice.

As I mentioned earlier, filtering the relevant trend here is a very important factor. Therefore, I can use Heikin Ashi charts instead of Traditional candlestick charts. Then we can get a very smooth trend of the relevant Crypto Market. At the same time, we can use 5 min chart for this special Trading Strategy.

As the first point, if the price level is below the EMA, we should take only "Sell Short" positions. Conversely, if the price level behaves above the EMA, we should take only "Buy Long" positions.

Secondly, we can focus on the Parabolic SAR indicator. if the Dots of Parabolic SAR indicator are above the Price level, we can take "Sell Short" positions and if the Dots of Parabolic SAR indicator are below the Price level, we can take "Buy Long" positions.

Finally, we can take the decision using the RSI indicator. Here we can Confirm our Buy position if the RSI is below 50 Level. (Below Middle Band). Because the RSI should not be extended much. However, if we can take our entry below 20 levels for the RSI after confirming the other 2 indicator signals, signal accuracy will be higher.

Below I have included a screenshot for a Good "Buy long" Opportunity. Here we can take the entry point when the Parabolic SAR begin to show dots below the Price level. Finally, we can close the order or take profit at the point when Parabolic SAR begin to show dots above the price level. Especially we should confirm EMA and RSI before taking to position. In the RSI, we can also observe hidden bullish divergences for a better trading opportunity instead of this simple RSI technique.
