BTCUSD trading

Post by PTScalper »

Hi all scalpers,

i think that level around 61 800 - 64 000$ is good for scalping support volatility :-)
I will share my trades afterwards.

Take a care and have a great trades :-)

BTCUSD scalp is a different animal than EURUSD — gaps in liquidity, weekend gaps, and news that isn’t on the FX calendar.

If I touch it:
- Smaller size than FX majors
- Wider invalidation, fewer trades
- I treat NY/London crypto hours separately from “always on” myth

Correlated risk with risk-on equities sometimes — don’t pretend it’s isolated.

Anyone scalping BTC on the same desk as FX, or separate account/rules entirely?
What’s your max hold on a BTC scalp — minutes, or do you let it run into hours?

From my point of view most of the time i try to scalp in several hours window.
I found out for example, that prices during the weekend try to go lower than friday close and sunday tries to go back.

Or i like to trade after bigger sell of, i scalp it only in long direction. (buy)

Weekend mean-reversion tendencies in crypto are real enough to notice — and fragile enough not to worship. Thin books and gap risk mean the same pattern that paid last month can slip you into a hole on a quiet Sunday.

One-direction-after-selloff is a clear rule; I respect clarity. Just keep size honest when liquidity is airy. My own crypto scalps (when I take them) use wider invalidation and smaller risk than FX majors — BTC volatility isn’t EURUSD with a different symbol.

If the weekend pattern is part of your edge, log it by regime (risk-on weeks vs stress weeks). Patterns that ignore regime become superstition.

I would not call it as part of regime, simply time to time i check it on weekend and if i see big gap from friday night i try to scalp against that move little bit.

Risk-first on that one. Weekend BTC gaps are thin, headline-prone, and happy to run farther than a weekday mean-reversion brain expects.

If you fade a Friday-to-Sunday dislocation, I’d treat it as a defined-risk experiment: tiny size, hard invalidation beyond the gap extreme, no averaging, no “it’ll fill by Monday open” story. Gaps can stay open, widen on a tweet, and your broker’s Sunday book won’t look like London USDJPY.

I don’t run it as part of my core regime either — occasional look-in only. Against-the-gap scalps work until they don’t; the survivors are the ones who sized as if the gap could double before mean reversion shows up.
