Cryptocurrency trading and investing require more than just jumping on hype and following trends. DYOR, or "Do Your Own Research," is your best weapon for making informed decisions in this space and mitigating potential losses just by understanding the market better. With TradingView’s powerful tools now accessible through your Bitazza account, conducting thorough research has never been easier. Let’s explore how you can make the most of these features to enhance your trading and investment strategies.

1. Monitoring Market Trends

On TradingView, you can easily stay ahead of the curve by understanding market sentiment and trends and determining if the mood of the day is going to be bullish, bearish, or neutral.

Features to Use:

• Timeframe Switching: Switch between short-term (e.g., 15m, 1H) and long-term trends (e.g., daily, weekly).
  
  
• Multi-Chart Layouts: Compare multiple cryptocurrencies side by side.
  
  
• Heatmaps: Visualize trending coins like BTC, ETH, and FDM at a glance.

Benefits:

• Spot patterns early: by being able to identify if a chart is going towards a downtrend, you would be able to exit your positions before making any losses.
  
  
• Gain insights into sector-wide performance through expert analysis and community discussions.

Pro Tip: Save chart layouts for quick access in your next session.

2. Understanding Technical Indicators

Technical analysis can provide valuable data on a token’s performance. TradingView offers a wide range of indicators, including:

• Relative Strength Index (RSI): Determine whether a token is overbought or oversold.
  
  
• Moving Averages (MA): Identify trends and potential reversals in token prices.
  
  
• Bollinger Bands: Evaluate volatility and pinpoint periods of consolidation or breakout.
  
  
• Volume Profile: Assess buying/selling pressure and liquidity.

Example: If the FDM token shows an RSI of 80 on the FDM/USDT chart, it may indicate overbought conditions, signaling a potential correction.

3. Identifying Opportunities

Use the support and resistance levels on the chart to find opportunities for profitable trades. Beyond drawing lines on a chart, you should be able to identify these chart patterns if they appear:

• Head & Shoulders, Double Bottoms
  
  
• Flags, Triangles, and Pennants

You can use pattern recognition tools on TradingView to identify potential opportunities. If you prefer manual action, you can draw your own indicators too.

• Add trendlines or Fibonacci retracements.
  
  
• Gauge pullbacks and breakout levels with high precision.

Pro Tip: Confirm breakouts by monitoring volume spikes.

For instance, setting alerts on FDM when it approaches a key support level allows you to act promptly when the market shifts.

4. Managing Risk

Effective risk management is vital to ensure your funds are safe, especially in crypto’s volatile environment. Here’s how TradingView can help you mitigate losses with these key tools:

• Position Sizing Tool: Allocate no more than 1-2% of your portfolio per trade.
  
  
• Stop-Loss Levels: Automate exits to control potential losses.
  
  
• Risk-to-Reward Analysis: Ensure favorable trade setups by assessing risk versus potential gains.

Pro Tip: Backtest your strategies on historical data to refine decision-making before committing real funds.

Example: If the market data on TradingView indicates unhealthy signals, you should reduce your exposure to high-risk tokens, especially altcoins.

5. Stay Updated with Alerts

For traders, being informed about price movements in real time is key. TradingView allows you to:

• Set price alerts to be notified when a token hits your desired price.
  
  
• Create custom alerts for technical indicators like moving average crossovers.

Investors can use these alerts to track news or updates about specific tokens, ensuring they never miss any important announcements.

DYOR Beyond Technical Analysis

While TradingView is invaluable for technical analysis and enhancing your Bitazza experience, fundamental research is equally important. Consider these steps to build a comprehensive understanding before entering the market:

• Study Whitepapers and Roadmaps: Review the long-term vision of projects like FDM to gauge their growth potential.
  
  
• Assess the Team Behind the Tokens: Look for experienced and credible leadership with a track record of delivering on promises.
  
  
• Community Activities: Strong and active communities are a good sign of healthy ecosystems. Monitor engagement levels for all these projects.
