I have something you may find interesting. Remember my failed attempt at applying the Papabear trading system to Crypto?

Here are some posts to remind you.

The Papabear strategy used the 13 'Spyder' S&P sector ETF's, and trades once a month.

I applied some of its elements to crypto, but on a weekly period, not a monthly period.

Unfortunately, I started this adventure (first post above) when Bitcoin was trading at $57,500 in early May and declared defeat 5 weeks later in mid-June when Bitcoin was trading at $35,000. I failed miserably. Lost 50% of my starting amount in those 5 weeks.

I made some adjustments, started trading on a daily basis, and kept it all to myself. Then coincidently, and fortunately, Bitcoin bottomed in late June and started rising in late July, and this is when I observed 'a rising tide float all boats'.

Also, I took M's logic of trading with 5 altcoins at a time and applied it to what I was doing, and it helped.

Here is what I am doing. I created these slides for my kids, but you might find them useful too. -





I generally start with $10,000 worth of USDT. Nothing magical about $10,000. My kid are doing this with a lesser amount.

I buy the top 5 coins with $2,000 USDT each. Then on day 2, I again perform the ranking and stacking process to identify the new list of top 5 coins. For any coins that are repeats from the previous day, I do nothing. Continue to hold them. For those that are new to the list, I 'convert' one of the coins that is no longer on the list into one that is.

Does this sound familiar with M's weekly program? It should.

I rinse and repeat this every day. Does not matter the time of day, just that you do so roughly the same time every day, a full 24 hours between. Remember crypto trades 24/7/365, so weekends and holidays too. If I am ever going to be away from a keyboard for an extended time, I convert it all back into USDT (go to cash).

When TradingView Total3 chart is rising, I have turned $10,000 into $20,000 in as little as 10 days. When it is flat or falling (as it has been for the past ~2 weeks now) It takes longer.

Once I exceed $20,000, I convert everything over the starting $10,000 into Bitcoin, and start all over again with the remaining $10,000. I have done this several times now.

The next two slides are my actual moves. I started this process over again this Saturday 8 days ago. I had a couple of very good days and this week, and one bad one yesterday.






I generally do this in the morning after I get up and before I leave for the office. Between 5 and 7 AM CST. I take 10-15 minutes or so to scan the markets and make a note of what I should watch that day, and also make the Coinbase crypto trades.

This could all stop working tomorrow, but I don't think so.
