[Signals Review] Margin Whales – We are Family.

Margin Whales Review – prospect for the BitMEX signals post

Since quite a few months, I was a member of the free channel of Margin Whales. I liked the quality of their posts and already asked them if they want me to check their premium channel. Unlike, the most I got no very enthusiastic reply and we left it like that. It is OK for me and I value that, as I know good quality traders are often not very fond of marketing and not very good in promoting their stuff (hence other paid groups or coaching products like courses, etc. which are marketed very good, are often garbage or scam). However, sometime later, one of the channel owners of our other listed signal providers, asked me if I know these “Margin Whales” guys as they’d produce nice results. I contacted them again, and finally, I got a seat on their channel.  Check with me, which quality & results the BitMEX trading group delivered.

Like all new signal providers, Margin Whales are double audited: By us, and a second time by a community member. The community member review will decide if they will be listed in the BitMEX signal post. We will call for an auditor today on our Telegram channel, please subscribe for your chance to be chosen.

Margin whales is a channel for leveraged trading signals for BitMEX and similar exchanges that allow margin Trading. Since its inception end of June ’18, they had quite a good series of success and might be a good addition in your signal provider arsenal. There is not much to tell about the story behind the channel, but this is sometimes not the worst to keep a clear view on the signals itself. Let’s review them.

Signals Review: Margin Whales are not spitting signals like a firework but are still quite frequent and active. I actually don’t like it if it gets too active – the amount of tradable assets on BitMEX is limited, and if you place e.g. shorts on multiple altcoin futures there, you are increasing your risk exponentially due to the dependence of Bitcoin moves. Margin Whales play the responsible card and you still get an average signal amount of around 20 signals a month. These are around 70% regular trades, 25% scalp trades and 5% so-called Whale Trades, where they play bigger moves.  If a signal setup fails, they detect it very fast and get out at breakeven quickly to avoid a stop-loss. I can say that they are very good in re-evaluating the market situation and take action proactively, something that is rare to find. They don’t just want to push signals to deliver, they seem to care for the signals published, which is a great attitude. Furthermore, I liked it that they kept an eye on the markets in general. For example, if they are long with an altcoin future, they keep on monitoring the behavior of Bitcoin. If a bearish outlook forms, they are likely to close the altcoin long trade. As said, Margin Whales trade very actively. While you don’t get multiple trades per day, they treat each signal carefully and support you while it is running with directions according to their observations. The chosen risk:reward ratios are very reasonable (see trade example), something I really like to see. With the active market monitoring, they are able to get out of the most failed setups at breakeven, which gives a warm and fluffy feeling, as every trader’s first job is to reduce risk and to protect capital. This is done very precisely with Margin Whales. An area of improvement could be the signal reasoning: If you like to understand the signal given, by looking at their technical analysis, you’d need to ask for it as the signals itself are presented without further reasoning. This has been different in the past, if you scroll up the history, you can find great technical analysis, reasoning and expert tips on risk:reward and risk management – I’d love to see this again!

Signal Example: In this example from today you can see how they figured the recent drop of Bitcoin and closed their altcoin long position before that, switching their bias according to the market movements.

And here is how it played out on the charts:

The Results: Overall, the results have been pretty good. I want to imagine this service on an auto trader as one thing is a downside: if you enter a trade by Margin Whales, you should be around to receive the updates and act accordingly to reproduce the same results. Happily, it is possible to have custom alerts on Telegram for particular channels, so this would be a quick fix.  In December, we had 22 signals, where 12 have been closed in profit, 4 losers,  5 closed at breakeven, and one order has not been filled.  Considering only the winners and the losers we have a juicy success rate of 75%, considering the trades closed at breakeven we are at 57.17%. The achieved profits have been in the range of 12 to 87% and the month closed with almost 500% profit, a figure which has been already exceeded by the time of writing for the current month January (we are currently at 580%), so we might close this month with even better numbers. The risk:reward ratio has been chosen wisely and the loss never exceeded 17% (maximum loss in December). The fees of the paid group can be found on the lower side, so if one takes some of their trades, the monthly fee might be back in the pocket with some trades, though, of course, past results can’t speak about the future outcome.

Support: Mr. W, the support guy, was always around to help. Not much to ask though, as the instructions are very clear.

Now, we will give one of our Telegram readers a chance to evaluate the service of Margin Whales. He/She will decide if they shall make it into our Best Bitmex Signals post.

Bitcoin and Altcoin Investment Strategies

While some have made millions investing in digital currencies, others would call it degenerate gambling. If you’re reading this, then you know how exciting and unpredictable the crypto world is. Fortunes are built and demolished in seconds, new and exciting technology pops up every day, and controversy rules the land. It’s pretty much the Wild West of finance.

The unprecedented growth of cryptocurrencies has attracted investors from all walks of life, many of whom have been enticed by the staggering returns made by early investors. If this sounds like you, then keep reading. Unfortunately, we’re not going to teach you how to get rich in a few days; in fact, we’re going to try and deter you from that objective.

Not that we don’t want you to be super-rich, don’t get us wrong. But we prefer to have more grounded goals and we want you to do the same. Investment is a tricky game and the patient person usually wins. Avoiding “fear of missing out” (FOMO) is essential, especially in crypto, where disinformation, fake news and drama are commonplace.

So what exactly is the point of this article, you may wonder? Well, today, we want to give new players in the cryptosphere some ideas on how they can begin to navigate the tricky world of investment. We feel this is important due to the growing amount of scams and low quality projects out there.

We’re not saying that the strategies we discuss are foolproof or even profitable. They are not based on any mathematical formula nor were they devised by any experienced investment professional. These are simple ideas that are popular among entrants and old school digital currency investors alike.

It’s important to note that this article is not to be taken as investment advice and that you should always remember the golden rule of investment: Never invest more than what you can afford to lose.

Diversify and play it safe

This is a simple one. If your portfolio only has one coin on it, you’re doing it wrong. Now, we know some people will say Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency you should own, but at this point  it’s safe to say that this is an absurd statement founded on feelings and ideals, rather than actual facts.

Bitcoin is thriving because it is the first and most popular cryptocurrency out there. It has the first mover advantage and it is also backed by an extensive network of miners who keep it safe. In terms of technology or features, however, Bitcoin falls short of its peers. We’re not saying you shouldn’t have Bitcoin, but you should also acknowledge other cryptocurrencies out there.

It may be a good idea to play it safe, however, and to “bet” on the most popular coins only, such as the top 10 by market capitalization. At present, those are: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dash, NEM, NEO, BitConnect and Monero.

Bet on the idea, not the project

The world of Blockchain technology has evolved to a point where currency is just one of the many functions a cryptocurrency can have. There are smart contract platforms like Ethereum, NEO and Qtum, there are decentralized storage networks like Storj, Sia Coin and Filecoin and there are decentralized exchange platforms like Waves, Bitshares and others.

Our suggestion is, instead of buying one cryptocurrency in each category, you should spread your investment throughout multiple options inside each category. This will allow you to reduce the risk of investing in one single currency. In the world of crypto, a technical difficulty or even a grievance within one of the teams can lead to an rapid crash in the price, regardless of how promising the project and tech are. Just look at what happened with Tezos.

Hedging

Again, diversification is the name of the game. If you’re in crypto, then you are probably aware of how risky it all is. The cryptocurrency movement could end in days if some major security flaw was discovered or if all governments decided to ban them. The same can happen if some new and improved alternative to Blockchain technology comes along. These are, of course, worse case scenarios that are unlikely but possible nonetheless.

So, if you’re not one to have all your eggs in the same basket, you may want to extend your investment strategy to instruments outside of crypto. Precious metals, stocks, and other traditional investment vehicles may be a great addition to your portfolio and will allow you to reduce the risk you would take by investing in cryptocurrencies only.

Some companies, for example, manage cryptocurrency investment funds that combine cryptocurrency investments with investments in other sectors, like real estate. We talked to Kirill Bensonoff, CEO and founder of Caviar, about the importance of heeding your investment in the cryptocurrency space with traditional instruments.

He stated:

“We found a couple of major issues with crypto-asset investing, namely, it’s difficult and time consuming, and all assets are highly correlated. There is no ‘safety’ asset that also produces an income. We also see a movement towards having crypto be backed by traditional assets, such as gold, real estate and others, and we are addressing this head on.”

Liquidity, liquidity, liquidity

This is something that many new players forget about. You may find yourself investing in a cryptocurrency, having it increase in value several times over, only to realise that you can’t really sell it. If you try to sell large amounts at once, you’ll crash the price. Why? Because there is no liquidity. If a coin has no trading volume, significant price swings are bound to happen.

You can play it safe and avoid low volume coins all together but if you don’t want to, the least you can do is to know the risk you’re taking. CryptoCompare has a portfolio tool that allows you to analyse several risk factors in your portfolio, including volatility, exposure and, of course, liquidity. Their tool allows you to get an estimate of how long it would take to sell a certain coin based on the current volume. We asked Charles Hayter, CEO of CryptoCompare, why this tool is important for entrant users. He stated:

“We want to make it easy for users to track how well they’re doing. Crypto is risky in the extreme and we want to help people understand where these risks lie and how to quantify them.”

Room to grow

Remember what we just told you about liquidity? Well, this strategy is somewhat contradictory, but it’s important to note that not all of these strategies are compatible with one another. Also, some involve more risk than others, and this one is risky. So, what do we mean with “room to grow”?

Small market cap cryptocurrencies have more growth potential than the ones at the top. Of course, other factors will determine if the price will rise or not but the idea is that, if you invest in cryptocurrencies before they are big, you may get to see your investment grow several times over.

Now, before you go to the nearest exchange and start stacking up on useless meme coins, have a think about what you want to buy. Then, perform your due diligence, check the roadmap, check the team, read the whitepaper, learn about the technology. Do everything in your power to ensure that your investment is justified. This will also make it easier for you to stick to your strategy, knowing that you are invested in something you believe in.

Technical analysis

Yes, chart wizardry. To be honest, I have no idea how it works and I admire anyone that does. All those numbers and lines give me headaches. Nevertheless, if you have it in you, learning T.A. can do wonders for your investment strategy even if you only touch the surface! We asked Jonathan Hobbs, CFA and author of the Stop Saving Start Investing: Ten Simple Rules for Effectively Investing in Funds investment book how technical analysis can be useful even for a newbie investor. He stated:

“Any good investment strategy needs rules. Technical Analysis (or “TA”) uses rules to look for price and volume patterns in charts to try and predict what’s going to happen next. It helps investors choose when to buy or sell. One example of TA is the Simple Moving Average (or “SMA”). The 50-day SMA, for instance, is the average price over the last 50 days, which changes or ‘moves’ each day. When an investment starts trading above its SMA, this is could be a bullish sign. Since TA can also protect the downside, it’s a good risk management tool for volatile investments like cryptocurrencies.”

Proof of Stake interest

A lot of people would love to invest in cryptocurrency mining, but at this point, you either go big or go home. Mining has become an industrialized practice reserved only for those with large financial backing, high tech equipment and access to low energy prices. Although there are several alternatives to traditional mining, Proof of Stake is the most relevant one for the subject at hand.

To put it simply, Proof of Stake allows users to “mine” coins without mining equipment. In this system, the amount of coins a user holds will determine how many coins he mines. Although most PoS cryptocurrencies will require you to leave your wallet running, some implementations of PoS like Waves and Lisk allow you to earn interest by leasing or delegating your stake.

Do note that you shouldn’t go out and buy every PoS coin out there. You should, however, check your holdings for these types of coins and, if you have them, mine them! In the worst case scenario, you’ll need to leave the wallet running which can be done with any laptop or even a Raspberry Pi device.
