1.2. A brief overview on binary.com
Crash and boom simulate the rising and falling of real world markets.
We discovered earlier that boom and crash are both divided in two
types:
The Crash 500 Index has on average 1 drop in the price series every 500
ticks, while the Crash 1000 Index has on average one drop in the price
series every 1000 ticks. In other words, in a market with a Downward
(Crash) trend, look out for a drop that happens every 1,000 ticks on
average.
The same applies for boom; For the Boom 500 Index there is on
average 1 spike in the price series every 500 ticks, and for the Boom
1000 series there is on average 1 spike in the price series every 1000
ticks, in other words In a market with an upward trend (Boom), look out
for a drop that happens every 1,000 ticks on average.
This might be like mandarin for you at this moment, but worry not
because this is just an informational part. You will understand it better
with charts and examples.
When you click on “trend”, you will realize that there will be an
unveiling of many trend indicators. Locate the moving average and
double click
Fig 2.b
Fig 2.c shows how you can set up the 200 exponential moving average.
Period number: 200, method: exponential, style: yellow.
Fig 2.c
Then comes fig 2.d for the 10 SMA with period: 10, method: simple,
color: red.
Fig 2.d
Your chart should look more like on fig 2.e. do not forget to put your
timeframe on a 1 minute.
Fig2.e
Now let us try to quickly show how some can set up their moving
averages indicator on their mobile phone. Although it is evident that
you should be taken step by step in everything, but there are certain
things that are just too basic to take you through .you can find them on
your own. This is why, for the mobile phone, you will only be given
moving averages set ups.
Fig 2.f
This is for the 10SMA. The following is for the 200 EMA
Fig 2.g
After everything is done, your chart should look more like what is on
figure 2.h:
Fig 2.h
2.3. Moving averages as support and resistance
See? When the price comes closer to the 200 EMA there is a spike
happening because of the rejection.
However note that it is not all the time that there will be an immediate
spike as soon as the 200EMA is touched by the price. It can take few
minutes to make a spike after the 200EMA is touched but when a spike
happens, you will make profit. Analyze the figure below for a better
understanding;
Fig 2.j
Through the above figure you will see that it took few minutes before
there could be any spike. There was no spike immediately the 200EMA
was touched, but overall it ended up in profit.
Let us also see the same behavior with crash. With the figure below, it
acted as support and made the price reject few minutes after the price
hit the 200EMA. Black arrows are for entries of trades and yellow
arrows are for exits of trades.
Fig 2.k
Now let us talk about the 10SMA. This specific indicator serves as
support and resistance in very particular instances:
For boom, there is a way of catching spikes through 10SMA when boom
start going on an uptrend. The uptrend is the overall direction of the
market moving upwards. So whenever at least 2 spikes have happened
close to the 10SMA then get ready for 2 or more other spikes around
the 10 SMA.
The figure below shows with stars how you do spot signal spikes (in
black stars) in order to anticipate upcoming spikes (in red stars).
Fig 2.l
Let us get another example for better understanding. The figure below
shows boom 1000 going through an uptrend. Through the 2 first spikes,
you can make more money by anticipating the upcoming spikes…
Fig 2.m
We stated earlier that moving averages can indeed serve as trend lines
showing the overall direction of the market. It is important to know
that the trend line is best portrayed on a higher timeframe like 1 hour
timeframe. Through the higher time frame you can detect the overall
direction of the market.
Fig 2.n
Fig 2.n shows that boom is on a downtrend. This being so there will be
less spikes in the market. Because spikes on boom are directed
upwards but as you can see for the market to go downwards, there has
to be less spikes. This market can be traded but one should be very
careful to open positions anyhow.
Fig 2.o
Fig 2.o shows the direction of the market as being an uptrend. For this
case there will be less spikes on crash 1000 because spikes are directed
on the downwards direction but the trend is upward. This being so, one
should trade more carefully and not enter trades anyhow.
Understand that the other way round is also important to consider:
boom in a downtrend and crash on an uptrend show that there will be
more spikes and you can trade more safely and more swiftly.
Remember that despite seeing the overall trend, it is advantageous for
you to go back to the 1 min time frame in order to look for sniper
entries. These will even help you spot multiple spikes before they
happen.
2.5. Summary
After finding and clicking on relative strength index, you should see
these parameters and click “done”.
For the computer, after you find the RSI, click on it. Settings will display.
Follow the template below then click “ok” .
Fig 3.b
After your settings are done, this is how your chart should display on
your mobile.
Fig 3.c
3.1. First dynamic: RSI as overbought and oversold.
From the beginning of the chapter it was brought to our attention that
The RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Traditionally the RSI is
considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30.
Fig 3.d shows overbought levels “in red circles” and oversold levels “in
white circles”
Fig 3.d
Since we would want to catch spikes ,you can immediately see that as
soon as the overbought level was hit (see red circles), there was a
potential sell opportunity and if you entered a sell, you could have
caught a spike and be in profit. Therefore understand that for boom we
look for an overbought opportunity in order to enter a “sell” position.
But on crash we look for an oversold opportunity in order to enter a
“buy” position.
For a better understanding of what I just said earlier, Let us take
another example with boom. The following figure shows how a spike
happened when the RSI was oversold.
Fig 3.e
Now, this dynamic of the RSI is more accurate on ranging markets.
Ranging markets are markets that are temporarily neither on an
uptrend nor on a downtrend. The probability of success of this dynamic
is reduced when the market becomes either an uptrend or a
downtrend. This is why there is another dynamic of the RSI called “RSI
DIVERGENCE”.
See? The figure 3.f shows how the case number 1, the 2 PICS of the RSI
pointed downwards while the price of crash was going on an uptrend.
That was a divergence. The same happened in case number 2 and case
number 3.
So for crash, if as soon as the price of the market reaches the price of
the previous pic, and when you check on the RSI the direction is a
downtrend, understand that there is divergence and a spike is likely
going to occur.
Now, if you draw a white line on every last pic and wait for the price to
reach that zone again. Whenever the price reaches the price of the
previous pic, check your RSI and see if it is on a deep downtrend. If yes,
then enter a sell because a spike is more likely going to happen.
This dynamic of the RSI has proven to be the most accurate among all
other dynamics.
For a better understanding, let us analyze boom and see how through
divergence you can spot winning opportunities.
Fig 3.g
See? As soon as there is a divergence, there is a high probability of a
winning trade. With boom, whenever the price reaches the previous
lowest point, check your RSI. Whenever there is a high probability
winning trade, you can enter a buy position without a lot of stress.
The reality behind divergence is the loss of momentum of a trend. Even
if it does not show on a chart that there is an exhaustion on the trend,
the indicator reveals it through a divergence.
Remember that there is no strategy that is 100% accurate, but there
are strategies that have a high level of accuracy and the divergence
dynamic, when used properly, can give you a row of outstanding
winning trades. More winning trades, more profit; more profit, more
money.
The RSI can of course display strong support and resistance levels. In
case you forgot what support and resistance is, kindly get back to the
previous chapter where we did give a proper definition of support and
resistance.
Fig 3.h
Through fig 3.h you can affirm that there was a strong resistance on
level 56 of the RSI. This resistance level spotted many spiking entry
zones. See? You only needed two support areas in order to spot the
two or maybe three other spikes…this dynamic is even perfect when
used on 1 hour timeframe;
Fig 3.i
Through the figure above one can identify the highest level on the RSI
which acted as resistance. Knowing the highest level, one can easily
spot a strong probability of reversal. You will be able to identify a
change in the trend of the market and by rebounce, adapt your strategy
to the trend of the market.
We can also spot specific entries through trend lines drawn on the RSI
Fig 3.k
Through trend lines, one can also spot good entry points. However
these instances do not occur all the time and they should be used with
other strategies given above in order to be more specific.
The other disadvantage of the trend dynamic is that you can miss out
two first spikes in order to catch out the third and the following
ones…reason being that without two first pics, on cannot draw a trend
line.

4.4. Summary
Since boom and crash indices do not respect stop losses stop orders
(buy stops and sell stops), it is paramount to find how to minimize
losses without putting stop losses.
5.1. Trading spikes is already a money management
method
It is important for you to know the approximate lot size that can be
allowed with different capital sizes.
To put it bluntly, a lot is simply the size of your trade
Some reading this book might have asked themselves: “why isn’t the
author showing his results and his entry trades with his lot size?”
The answer is simple but profound: Everyone grabs this book because
he wants to make money and expectation are different in accordance
with every reader’s starting capital.
If results show a smaller lot size with a small digit figure, it will
encourage the trader with a small capital convincing him that the
strategy can work even on the smaller capital.
The other scenario is that if trades and results are shown with bigger
capital and juicy revenue, a holder of a fat capital will easily relate as
the strategy is tried and approved for their fat hard earned capital. But
the trader with a smaller capital might think he will need to at least
accumulate more money and have a bigger capital in order to trade
effectively the strategy. This is a misconception because the strategy is
workable both on bigger accounts as well as on smaller accounts.
The second reason is for design and display purposes: there were
sometimes so many lines on the chart that it was difficult to draw clean
figures for a better understanding. At times there can be 5 entries and
it was difficult to explain the other 4 previous entries because they are
already exited. This was indeed the second biggest challenge in showing
entries. Now let us get back to our horses.
Even though you are 100% sure on your entry do not put your
maximum lot size as at times you might be so confident with an entry
and per adventure it turns out to be the wrong move. If you are
moderate in your lot size and consistent in trading, you can make a
100% return on a daily basis. You can even make more than that, if you
use the strategy right and follow the right money management. Money
management is a very important factor in trading and yet it is very
neglected, especially by amateur traders who just started trading.
The Meta trader account and the wallet are two different accounts. The
wallet is for mainly for storage (although in other instances it can serve
as a trading account), while the Meta Trader 5 account is mainly for
trading.
Whenever you make profit, transfer a part of it in the wallet.
Remember that although one can be consistent in trading, it is very
important for one to know that sometimes the unexpected can happen
and savings can make a difference.
This is also a good money management method. You cannot really be
told how much of your profit should be released. The choice is entirely
up to you; after all it is your profit. Make sure there is a backup money
just in case.
5.4. When plan B fails.
5.5. Summary
Now that you are empowered with knowledge, it is your role to put it
into practice.
Consistency in trading is key when trying to perfect and sharpen the
strategy at hand.
The more you trade, the more you develop a subconscious skill that will
enable you to make trading decisions that are accurate. The
consistency of trading makes you enter trades without fear nor
trembling.
Remember, better trades and better spiking entries are those that are
spotted in a sideways market or in the direction of the spike. For crash
1000 and crash 500, good trading setups are when the market goes
sideways or when the market is a downtrend. On the other hand, the
market is favorable for boom 1000 and boom 500 when the market is
goes sideways or is an uptrend.
Trading against the trend might still work but out well, but never for
too long because facing the waves is never too friendly. But diving in
the direction of the wave has less stress and resistance.
The best way to get to understand the main trend of any market is by
analyzing bigger timeframes like 1 hour chart or 4hour charts. When
you are able to spot the leading trend through bigger timeframes, then
look for entries in accordance with the corresponding timeframe.
I wish you the greatest success as you delve enter into this amazing and
exciting journey of extracting money out of the boom crash indices. I
believe you eventually get the lion’s share in this market.
