Ok first of all please don't let this thread turn into another anti day trading rant. Those 90% facts are true but only for people who don't understand proper risk/bankroll management and have a well defined strategy.
I have quite a decent enough edge when trading stocks or forex, but with my strategy and small account size the fees usually eat up the profit. So I have started trading BTC perpetual contract swaps on BitMEX as I can long or short with leverage for little to no fees.
My problem now though is that as I am limited to only trading 1 or 2 pairs, I feel that I am taking trades that I shouldn't be just to keep up my trading volume....
Right now, I have started rating potential trades from 1-10, and adjusting my risk based on that. And trying to think a few moves ahead for what set ups could appear then setting alerts and waiting for them.
But does anyone have any other advice/strategy adjustments for trading when you are stuck to ju st 1 or 2 pairs?
Edit: I am currently trying to make 2-3 trades per day with around 0.5-2% account risk per trade and between 1:1 to 2:1 risk reward ratios.
