⚡ Bulk import from Binance CSV — log many trades at once · dupes skipped

Position History CSV = the trades (required). Transaction History CSV = fees/funding (optional, makes PnL wallet-accurate).

♻ Overlapping date ranges are safe to re-upload.
Before adding each trade, the importer checks for a match on symbol + close date + close time (HH:MM). If a position with the same close already exists in your log it is silently skipped — so you can upload this week's file on Monday, then upload a file covering the whole week on Friday and only the new trades will be added.
💡 PnL accuracy.
Upload both files together. The Transaction History CSV is the source of truth — the importer sums REALIZED_PNL + COMMISSION + FUNDING_FEE from that file and stores a true net PnL per trade. Position History's "Closing PNL" column is ignored because it can be significantly off (e.g. showed +56.45 when the real net was +26.15). Funding fees charged mid-hold (every 8h) are also captured by time-range matching, not just at close.
⚠ Edge case: if two positions on the same coin close within 90 seconds of each other, the importer assigns each transaction to the closest close. This is handled automatically — no action needed.

The Distribution Breakdown

A+ · the only setup

Your 8-month edge, formalized. For the next 10 trades, this is the only setup you may trade. If a candidate fails the gate, you do not trade — you wait.

⊘ The Gate — read before every trade
Did this coin run ≥80%, distribute with lower highs on the 1D/4h, and CLOSE below a 3+ touch low through my 1D→4h→1h→15m→5m read? If I skipped a level → no trade.
① Pre-conditions — ALL must be true
  1. Coin ran ≥80% on a recent run — exhausted bull, not fresh momentum
  2. Price entered a consolidation / sideways range after the run
  3. Range shows a topping structure — double top or multiple tops
  4. Lower highs grinding down inside the range (distribution)
  5. Price has reached the multi-touch low — 3+ touches within ~3–5%
② Top-down execution — never skip a level
1DContext — the ≥80% run + big distribution structure exists here 4hStructure — range, lower highs, multi-touch low defined here 1hConfirmation — breakdown bias confirmed 15mTrigger — candle CLOSES below the level (not a wick) 5mEntry — precision timing on the close below
③ Risk rules — non-negotiable
Entry
15m CLOSE below the multi-touch low
Stop
Just above the range high (beats the sweep)
Target
Next major support — marked before entry
Size
Fixed 1–2% risk → size to the wide stop
Invalidation
15m closes back above the level → bear trap, exit now (don't wait for stop)

Why the close + range-high stop: the level is where every stop sits. Price often sweeps through to grab liquidity, then reverses. Entering on the close skips most fake wicks; the range-high stop survives the ones that get through. You used to do one or neither — now you do both.

▤ Trading principles — the six rules · click to expand

01 · Position Sizing — the only rule that matters

Risk a fixed % of account per trade — not a fixed dollar, never a fixed leverage. 1–2% of equity at risk per trade. You can be wrong 20 times in a row and still have an account.

position size = (account × risk %) ÷ (entry-to-stop distance %)

Your stop distance and leverage derive from this — you don't pick leverage first. Leverage is the tool to hit the right notional size; it is not a risk dial.

02 · The Leverage Trap — your actual problem

20x isn't "more aggressive" — it's a tighter liquidation noose. At 20x isolated you liquidate on a ~5% adverse move. Crypto wicks 5% before breakfast. On BEAT and BILL, your liquidation price sat closer than the invalidation level — a routine wick killed you before the thesis was even wrong. Size down and lever down until liq sits comfortably beyond invalidation.

03 · Stop Placement

The stop goes where the thesis is invalidated — never a round number or a comfortable dollar amount. On a short: above the confluence resistance / structure high. Then size so that distance equals your 1–2% risk. Stop first, size second. Always that order.

04 · Take Profit — scale out, don't hero

Ladder it. TP1: first structural level — take 30–50% off, move stop to breakeven (now it's a free trade). TP2: major level — take another chunk. Runner: let a small piece ride a trailing stop for the fat tail. This solves both ways traders lose: cutting winners early, and round-tripping winners to zero.

05 · Reward : Risk — nothing below 2:1

At 2:1 you can be right only 40% of the time and still make money. The edge was never your entries — it's whether you survive at sane size long enough to let them play out.

06 · The one-liner

You can have a mediocre entry and a great outcome with proper sizing — and a perfect entry and a blown account with 20x and no stop. You've got the chart-reading. The leverage is the leak. Fix that and the rest compounds.

News & Events

High-impact macro events that move all risk assets — crypto included. This tab exists for risk-avoidance, not opportunity-hunting: the goal is knowing when to stand aside, not finding a reason to click. Times shown in your local timezone.

How to use this
⚠ STAND ASIDE events spike volatility and spreads — your stop gets hunted, slippage eats you, structure breaks down. Don't open fresh positions in the window around them, and consider tightening or closing existing ones beforehand.
◷ CONTEXT events are worth knowing but rarely a reason to stand down — note them, don't react to them.
The trap: treating a news event as a signal to enter. News tells you when not to trade. Your setup tells you when to trade. Don't confuse the two.
⚙ Live-data setup (one-time Cloudflare Worker)
The live calendar & headlines come through a tiny Cloudflare Worker — it keeps your CryptoPanic token server-side (never in this file) and caches Forex Factory so you can't hit its rate limit. Setup is one-time, ~10 min:
  1. Grab a free token at cryptopanic.com/developers/api/keys
  2. Cloudflare → Workers & Pages → Create Worker. Paste in the sakaan-news-worker.js file I gave you. Deploy.
  3. Worker → Settings → Variables → add a Secret named CRYPTOPANIC_TOKEN = your token. Re-deploy.
  4. Copy your Worker URL and paste it below, then save.

Data note: live calendar = Forex Factory's own weekly feed (cached ~6h via your Worker). Crypto headlines = CryptoPanic, fetched only on button press. The curated schedule below is static — FOMC dates confirmed from the Federal Reserve; CPI/NFP/PCE follow their monthly pattern and are marked approx. If the Worker is down or unset, the curated schedule still works.

Pre-trade checklist

Checklist: 0 / 6 acknowledged

Hard Limits — Non-Negotiable

  • Max 2 losing trades per day. Hit two, done for the day. (tilt)
  • Weekly stop at −6%. Drop 6% in a week, pause until next week. (drawdown)
  • Max 2–3 positions open at once. Crypto correlates. (correlation)
  • Stop only moves toward profit, never wider. (sacred)
  • NEVER size up to recover a loss. The exact behavior that blew past accounts. (kryptonite)
  • −30% kill-switch ($700). Stop and audit the log — to diagnose, not quit.
  • No fading an ATH without a confirmed rejection. Wait for the wick + close back inside structure. Shorting the touch is guessing. (confirmation)
  • Entry must be a resting limit, not a chase. If price ran past your level, the trade's gone — let it go. (no FOMO)
  • Every entry has a stop set on the exchange before you look away. No mental stops. (no exceptions)
  • One setup only. If it isn't your defined edge, it's gambling with extra steps. (discipline)

Discipline of Record

Log every trade — thesis on entry, exit on close. Log "Followed plan?" honestly; a broken rule gets logged AS broken. Weekly review: filter plan="no", study the triggers. Same rules after a win as a loss — there's no hot hand. Sample size: 50 trades minimum, 100 ideal, before reading any verdict. The trade count is the finish line, not the balance.
