While everyone was chopping salads, I was chopping trades: 1200 manual entries using screeners

During the New Year holidays, the market usually runs in the background. Family, travel, quick phone checks — trading turns into something occasional. I decided to structure it differently: no constant chart watching, just short manual sessions built around market events, without turning holidays into full-time work.

The key tool was screeners combined with a one-click trading terminal on Crypto-Resources.

No magic signals, no promises. Just a clean workflow: signal → chart → entry, without jumping between tabs or manually filling orders.

Over three holiday weeks, I executed around 1200 manual trades and nearly doubled the starting deposit. The start was $100, with a minimum entry size of $6. This is not a guarantee or an advertisement — it’s a personal case that clearly shows why such a toolset makes sense, especially for beginners.

What screeners actually are

A screener is a real-time market filter that highlights where something is happening.
Not “scan 300 coins and guess”, but clear signals: pumps, dumps, rising open interest, liquidation clusters.

In practice, screeners eliminate two major problems of manual trading:

Routine and wasted time
Instead of endlessly searching for setups, you get a live feed of filtered market events.

Overtrading and random entries
When the market is quiet, traders tend to trade out of boredom. Screeners force you to wait for actual events.

How the workflow looks

Everything is organized in a single workspace:

• left side — live signal feed (pump/dump, OI, liquidations, volume);
• center — chart of the selected instrument;
• right side — trading panel with one-click execution, no manual symbol input.

The key benefit is not speed for the sake of speed, but discipline. A structured pipeline reduces improvisation and emotional decisions.

Signals that are useful for beginners

Pump & Dump
Price and volume anomalies give a reason to open the chart and evaluate context, not to predict blindly.

Open Interest (OI)
Shows where real positions are being built in futures. Moves supported by rising OI are usually more meaningful.

Liquidations
Highlight areas where leveraged traders are flushed out. These zones often become either reversal points or acceleration areas.

Why this matters for beginners

Noise is harmful at the start. The more charts, chats, and opinions, the more random decisions appear.

Screeners enforce a correct sequence:

• detect a signal;
• open the chart;
• evaluate context;
• enter with a fixed size and plan.

This creates repeatability. Without repeatability, there is no learning — only emotions and luck.

Risk management and why it worked

No aggressive bets:

• starting deposit — $100;
• minimum entry — $6;
• risk split into small position sizes;
• goal — consistent trade flow, not one “perfect” trade.

In three weeks, the deposit nearly doubled. This result belongs to a specific period and approach, not a universal promise. But it clearly demonstrates how discipline and proper tools can work even with limited time.

Free education for those who want to start

To avoid the “I don’t know where to click” problem, free training is available. No payment, no hidden conditions. It covers:

• setting up screeners for pump/dump, OI, and liquidations;
• reading these events on charts objectively;
• fixed position sizing and risk control;
• short trading sessions without screen addiction;
• basic statistics and performance tracking.

This is not motivation or mindset coaching — it’s a practical starting manual.

If you want to replicate this approach

The process is simple:

• configure screeners around market events;
• set a fixed minimum position size;
• trade short sessions only on signals;
• track statistics and control risk.
