Trend Trading
In an uptrend: buy pullbacks to support.
In a downtrend: sell rallies to resistance.
Example:
$BTC at $121.8K pulls back to $119.2K. A trend trader might plan entries near support, with stops and targets set, then trail stops if price breaks highs.

Day Trading / Scalping
Quick trades on small timeframes using patterns like breakouts, reversals, or “head & shoulders.”
Avg hold: 30–60 min.
Example:
$BTC hits resistance at $120.2K, rejects on lower timeframes, and forms a short setup with a tight stop and modest target.

��️ Hold Trading
Holding a position for days or weeks to catch bigger moves.
Example:
$ETH trades at $4,500 amid rumors of a big partnership. A trader holds through the wait, and two weeks later, news breaks – ETH rallies. Patience and funding cost awareness are crucial here.

�� Practice First
Paper trading = testing strategies without risking capital.
Log your hypothetical trades – entry, stop, target – and check later how they played out. After dozens of tracked setups, you’ll see patterns in what works before going live.

�� Soon you’ll be able to trade Perps directly in Blum – go long or short, set leverage, place stops and targets, and track funding. All of this will be available in your favorite Telegram mini app.
