Oil money.

So, this is what the military will do to us if we give them power again? And I was hoping for an Ibrahim Traore-like type of move.

Not just that, they'll still remove freedom of speech and people like VDM won't be able to talk about the ills of the society.

This is a military man and look at what he's doing.

With this, let's stick with democracy and the small freedom of speech we have.

Below is a B+ setup. One is long lived (two months and half) and the other is short lived (2 weeks and half).

Will the one we're currently facing now be long or short lived? It's quite easy to know if you study history of the cryptoverse.

There is nothing new in crypto. It's just a repetition of the past with some new twists.

If you know your woman's mother's character, you've known 80% of hers and if you know her besties character, you'll know the remaining 20%.

This is just crypto for you. You'll only understand it when you master the art of being calm in chaos.

They'll succeed as long as their leader is a Fulani. The government will supply them with all they need — guaranteed!

We'll look into the setups in future posts.

I'm not a fan of B or B+ Setups. My main setups are A, A+ and No-DJ.

I still trade B+, B, C+, C and even D+ and D setup.

Knowing the setup you're entering will give you a DIFFERENT level of confidence.

Bear market is actually a black swan, but in prolonged slow motion.

Those of you using iLegend's method, are you making money?

What a tricky question so that when people say yes, they'll go further and ask for evidence.

The aim is not for them to know if the method works or not, but to know if you're rich so that they'll start their DM begging or other forms of fraud against you. Why are Nigerians this smart, but in a negative way.

No one cares about you! They just want to know what you have and find a way to take their share of it. Period!

That call I made when BTC fell to 98k is a B setup and it has pumped to 108k and that is 10k increase.

If a B setup can go 10k up, then imagine what a B+, A, A+, and No-DJ setup will give you.

Now, the question is, how do I know the type of setup I'm trading?

Typing...

What type of trade did you take? 97% of people in crypto can't answer this question correctly.

The market doesn't just test your soul and your strategy. It tests your nervous system to see your heart rate.

You can control this heartbeat attack by knowing the type of trade you took and the SETUP.

I wouldn't mind sharing mine, but most won't understand, so I have to hold back.

harry2sexy:
Your sacrifice for us all will be greatly rewarded🤣🤣 cos if BTC goes to 148k, the world will not see your sacrifice but we will

This one wey I enter na better money o! Abeg, make him no go there o! Even if it goes there, I won't die sha. Life goes on. 😂

I'm tempted to include Thursday in my No Trade Days. I haven't opened any of my trading apps since today, being Thursday except Tradingview. My short position at 108k is still open and to be liquidated at 148k.

I don't even know the current price of BTC as at today. I'm detached to an extent since I turned off price and some early alerts. I only have 5%, 7% 10%, 15% and 20% alerts on.

If the market doesn't move at least 5% in a day, I wouldn't know.

papyjaypaul:
Thank you for these wise words Jamanze. It's not everything you bring to the market square. Even if he's looking for content, it's an empty content and I would not do business with this kind of basket mouth.

This post of his is the main reason I'll do business with him. Trust has been expressed, openly.

It's like saying, "Since VDM loves to talk and address things openly, he'll be a bad politician. He's going to expose corruption."

This is just a sign that you love corruption or handling corruption offline.

Evil people fear publicity, but sincere hearts fear not.

Starting from today, 99% of his clients will be people with good source of income. The fraudsters will run and that's good.

harry2sexy:
I disagree with this. Reason been every serious trader should have a percentage target set already as soon as they go long/short.

If you have to wait for certain days, you become too emotional and will want to find a better spike or better profit.

The market is dynamic, yes, there are patterns that guide us as traders but in trading today, everyone is trading against robot that are carrying out split second buy/sell orders, so waiting for specific times to hit the sell button is not advisable

If you're a trader (day-trader), your disagreement is valid, but if you're not, you need to reconsider.

Since this year, my post has only swing traders and above in mind — people who can hold for a minimum of 2 days.

If you're into day-trading, this guy's method would be better. Look at how I have forgotten his moniker. The guy that uses volume data. His posts are usually great for scalpers and day-traders.

For me, I can't remember when last I checked the 12 hours timeframe let alone 4 hours—they now irritate me. I'm more on long term trades and that's why my systems are built on waiting for good entries.

I was watching a video on YouTube, the title attracted me and the moment he started mentioning 4 hours and 15 minutes timeframe, I closed it because I know it's not my style. Used to be, but not anymore.

So, for a scalper, you're right.

I mostly listen to other people's trading psychology stories and I noticed we, humans, are all the the same.

Last night, while listening to one on YouTube, a section of the video caught my attention the most because it's 100% the same mindset the wall of Jericho and China was built.

I had to translate that part to text as a reminder to myself. It's just so powerful and relatable to me. It's the best way to trade and NOTHING more.

Read the text on the 4 images below and thank me later.

I'll be adding Wednesday to the days I'll not touch my trading app.

Now, the restriction starts from 3AM on Saturday and stops at 3AM on Monday. Then another lock is the entirety of Wednesday.

So, Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, no trade for me. Even if BTC pumps of dumps 10% in those days, I'll just fold my hands and watch with zero interest even if I have a liquidation at stake.

But, if it's 20-30+% move in a single day (black swan or parabolic pump), then the rule is void on that particular day.

In this game, if you don't have days you avoid the market TOTALLY, no matter what, you'll never have full emotional control.

What are 3-4 days not to trade BTC

ChatGPT:
Here are 3–4 key days when it's generally NOT ideal to trade Bitcoin (BTC) — due to high volatility, low liquidity, or market manipulation risk:

1. Major U.S. Federal Reserve (FOMC) Decision Days
Why avoid: Markets become hyper-volatile due to interest rate decisions and Powell’s press conference. BTC often whipsaws before direction becomes clear.
Examples: FOMC meetings (usually 8 per year; check Federal Reserve Calendar).

2. U.S. CPI Data Release Days (Monthly Inflation Report)
Why avoid: CPI reports spark major reactions in traditional markets, which trickle into BTC via risk-on/off sentiment.
Release time: Usually the second Wednesday of each month at 8:30 AM EST.
Typical behavior: BTC pumps or dumps in seconds — hard to predict.

3. Year-End Holidays (Dec 24–Jan 2)
Why avoid:
Thin liquidity, easy manipulation.
Whales can easily shake out retail or trap latecomers during Santa rallies or New Year dumps.

Pattern: Sudden spikes and fakeouts, followed by reversals in early January.

4. April 15 or U.S. Tax Deadlines
Why avoid: Investors often sell assets to cover tax bills.
Result: Sudden sell pressure and unpredictable drops.
Note: This is more relevant in years where crypto gains were big the previous year.

Optional Bonus:
Post-ETF listing hype days or major exchange listing days
Often cause "sell the news" events.

ChatGPT:
Would you like a calendar version with 2025’s FOMC + CPI + holidays marked as “no-trade” zones?

User:
I don't care about CPI and FOMC. Just tell me the day of the week with low volatilities.

ChatGPT:
Got it — if you’re looking purely for days of the week with low volatility for Bitcoin (BTC), here’s how it typically plays out:

📉 LOWEST VOLATILITY DAYS (Avoid for Trading):

1. Sunday
Why: Traditional markets are closed, fewer traders active.
Effect: Tight ranges, low volume, boring price action — or sudden illiquid wicks.

2. Monday
Why: Market participants are waiting for traditional finance (Wall Street) cues.
Effect: Often consolidates or retraces weekend moves; not ideal for breakout trades.

⚠️ MIXED / NEUTRAL:

3. Wednesday
Why: Sometimes sees mid-week setups forming or failed breakouts.
Effect: Can go either way — not too volatile, not too dead.

🔥 HIGH VOLATILITY DAYS (Best for Trading):
Tuesday, Thursday, and especially Friday — these are when BTC tends to break out, trend, or react to broader market events.

✅ Final Summary:
If you're looking for 3–4 days NOT to trade BTC due to low volatility, they are:

1. Sunday
2. Monday
3. (Sometimes) Wednesday

Tomorrow is 25th, which direction are we heading to RED or GREEN??

It's supposed to happen today, but it's scared. The resistance has refused to let us push through. I hope you know I'm not the controller of the market, I'm just someone who specialises in mastering the game and its manipulative moves.

I'm going to short, hoping I get liquidated for the market to pump so that everyone will jubilate and swim in profit.

I want to be the sacrificial lamb.

Maybe, the manipulation I talked about 2-3 days ago is completed. It was an 8k or 7k manipulation.

I said they want to dump it to 100k and within minutes, pump it to 108k to liquidate shorts, but they're smarter than me, so they went for 98k and pumped it to 106k within minutes. If you do the math, the difference is still 7k-8k.

I'm not a trader, I'm a pattern and manipulation observer and I'm at least always 80% or more right. No one can be 100% right. Max you can go is 99%.

Now, the market is going to consolidate and they'll device their next agenda.

Currently, 1 day has flipped to uptrend, just like 1 months but 1 week Heikin Ashi is still indecision.

This is what I call Twice As Tall.

When volume crosses the blue line in half. The image below is 1 day TF, but I prefer it in 1 wk TF.

If you incorporate this in your trading, you'll be ahead of others.

Trading TAT alone can make you money. You bought when the red is TAT + other rules and sell when the green it TAT + other rules.

Someone who bought at 99k can sell at this 106k that it reached today if he wants to, but waiting for 10% pump in a day is the best while this one is good too.

harry2sexy:
Used to think this btcdorm was in percentages, anyways we keep learning

Yes, it's in percentage in Tradingview, but on Binance, it's different.

When your tears is longer than your height and you're a Fulani. Tinubu has truncated their agenda.

Not a supporter of APC, but instead of a Fulani to occupy a sensitive position, let Wike and INEC rig it in favour of Tinubu and if the loser goes to court, the judge will rule in favour of Tinubu.

The Fulanis holding sensitive positions scare me. They have zero good intentions, just like Tinubu, but at least, he's the lesser evil.

I shorted BTC dominance from 5.8k and left just now. I know I was not supposed to, but the profit was enough.

MamaFutures:
You can't pissed me without my permission.

But from your write-up,
you are already pissed.

You easy get pissed, especially when corrected.

It's good to be in a perpetual state of learning.

If you don't quote me, I'll never quote you. Just ignore me for 1 year and you'll notice how I'll forget you exist.

How can someone who has 24 hours free power supply since he was born and 1 kg gas can serve him for a year because he uses electric stove be pissed at someone who goes to his neighbour's house to charge his phone?

Lucky people like us are hardly pissed. Too many things to be grateful for. We just wonder why unlucky people hate us. Maybe, we are too assertive, authoritative, domineering, arrogant and too happy at the same time and they hate it.

Abeg, e don do — you won.

Make I go Instagram go see whether my man VDM don post video. He's the only reason I use that app.

crazymommy:
he is obsessed with you

I'm a very wicked person and your gender caused it. But I admire and always care for your gender though.

Moved to country as an 18 year old boy. Fell in love with this stunning and spotless Asian girl.

She reciprocated and I smothered her with love and always professed how much I love her every day and two weeks to the relationship, she blocked me on all social media.

Damn! I cried and decided to figure out what I did wrong and how to do better.

I found out people become addicted to you if you believe in yourself, somehow rude, unapologetic, somehow arrogant, persistent in your pursuit, and you don't need them.

They want a prodigal son they can change. If you're already changed and nice, you're boring and they'll leave because you're not a challenge. She left because I was a won battle — she needed a man, a challenge, not a pushover in love.

Then they hate you. If they notice you're not bothered by the hate and abuses, they become obsessed or bitter.

As I am now, every human only has two options with me

1. To be obsessed with me or
2. To be bitter with me.

Funnily, I don't even give an eff about the option they choose. Just knowing that I don't need them is enough for my ego.

The women in life are always option 1 while the men are option 2.

On Nairaland, some meant are choosing option 1, so I'm suspecting them of being angel Gabriel.

That Asian girl created a monster and I'm so grateful to her to making me discover things early and reading 100s of book on human, life, relationship, psychology, finance, and survival.

So, I appreciate your gender. If not for her, this MamaFuture wouldn't be obsessed with me today.

He knows if he doesn't quote me, our two will NEVER interact. I get pride and it doesn't fall. If it falls, I'll pick it.

MamaFutures:
How will you learn from others, when you view corrections as an attack, & not an avenue to learn something new.

Guy, calm down. I saw you quoted me but I didn't read to avoid triggering me to reply because if I reply, no matter what I say or how nice I sound, you'll attack.

You've done it too many times. You're never in with me for a peaceful conversation, but "you're wrong, you're wrong, it won't work, it doesn't work with real money, your system is flawed," rhetoric.

If I don't reply, you'll quote yourself again to murmur.

I don't know how to please you. Okay, to make you happy, non of my systems work, but yours do.

Learn what? You have refused to teach willingly as I do. If I want to learn, I use Tradingview, Google or YouTube and now ChatGPT. Teach us something these places can't teach.

Each time you quote me, you're waiting for a war and if I don't reply for the war to start, you get pissed.

If you take a look at these images below, you'll notice ETH's volume going up and BTC down for two months now. Something wants to shift, but it's waiting for the right news.

People on ETH will make so much money.

crazymommy:
I love your style of shutting hypocrites and haters up... ...they deserve "no attention "...they are noise makers.

They just need to win sometimes for peace to reign.

Themainboy22:
Going by this, I think we'll experience a sharp decline to around 94-95k this week, followed with a fast reversal before the week ends. That would aid the monthly TF to continue with it's uptrend.

The market is full of manipulation and I love it that way. We might even go to 112k before the decline. The job of market makers is to confuse even the smartest and most prepared.

bid4rich:
WHITE FOOD is missing on the list,

Maybe white soup will make up for that.

Just date a white girl and you'll get it for free...

Some days ago, using Heikin Ashi, 1 day TF was in downtrend, 1 week was indecision and 1 month on uptrend.

Today, 1 day is still downtrend, 1 week in now downtrend too and 1 month is still uptrend.

What does this mean? The dump might not be fully over yet, but thank God 1 month is in uptrend.

Remember, this is strictly Heikin Ashi method.

Hedgefunds:
I understand...Am looking @ 75-83k do you think it realistic or not. do you have a trading class...i want to take leverage.

Your prediction doesn't look bad, but I'll still hold back on my personal bias. No, I don't.

XaToXi:

Just an observation:

Anyone waiting to buy from this chart would have placed bids at 94k, 86k and 78k5.

They would have missed the buy1 since it occurred at 98k instead and btc may retest 103/105/109k again before it dumps further to 94-74k.

That's why people ask you to give calls i.e. set specific levels they can place buy or sell bids at. All risks on them. Without that, this system is almost impossible to follow.

Looking deeper, 98k is the midpoint of 102k and 94k while 90k is the midpoint of 94k and 86k. Then 82.25k or even 76k is/are the last midpoint(s) so buyers could have targeted 98k, 90k and 82.25k or even 76k give or take $200 margin of error.

Just an observation.

Understandable observation. So, what do you suggest? Or let me ask, how did you get 94k as first buy? Over here, it's 99k-97k as first buy and it was perfectly achieved.

Modified: Oh, you're using the amount by the side as your 3 buys. Lol.

Nothing concerns those amounts by the side with the system. The price we're after is the one when the candle touches either the wick or the body of the fence, not those ones.

"That's why people ask you to give calls i.e. set specific levels they can place buy or sell bids at. All risks on them. Without that, this system is almost impossible to follow."

No need to give a call when I have already given the entire system to them. They're too smart for that. We're building a nation of independent minds.
