Crypto-Specific Rules
Understand Volatility

- Be prepared for rapid price swings and use automation to stay responsive.

Stay Informed

Avoid Penny Stocks and Illiquid Assets
- Focus on well-established companies with good volume and transparency.
My Metric Trade does not provide financial advice. However, one simple principle that every trader might consider is: don’t fall in love with a financial instrument. Instead, define clear buy and sell rules, aim to buy during market dips, and sell during upward trends.
My Metric Trade is designed to support wave-based trading in financial markets. Its simplicity allows users to execute small, rule-based buy and sell transactions with the potential to generate incremental profits. At the same time, it helps protect against market downturns by enabling the setup of stop-loss rules and other indicators.
