Castillo Trading VIP Live Stream 3/11/2026

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey hey hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hey hey hey. Hey, hey, Yo yo yo.

How's it going today, guys? How we doing? Happy Wednesday. Another weekly stream series. Going to go over a few things today, guys. You know, I I don't want to focus too much on BTC, Ethereum more than I do want to be focusing on alcoins. I think alcoins are really starting to pop off a little bit. Um BTC and ETH have not done much. So, I don't want to, you know, we're going to touch on them a little bit. We're going to look at, you know, what our normal levels are going to be for them. Not much has changed. Not much NPC levels have changed. BTC and ETH are kind of just going sideways, which is a good thing. You know, I think if BTC and ETH go sideways, alcoins can play a little bit of catch-up. They can have a good maybe little rally. I'm not expecting a huge rally, but just, you know, a little a little catch-up play.

But Steel Trading coming to you with another VIP live stream. First things first, guys, a shout out to the stream sponsors of Bitunx and Rain Bet. Bit Ununex is the perpetual exchange of choice. I know a lot of you guys are happy with them. I am happy with them. I think that they've done a really good job at kind of creating a good platform to for us to be trading on. Um they really have kind of captured everything that we need. I think the one thing, you know, I want them to work on a few listings. I want US oil on there. I also want um you know, Zcash privacy. But for the most part, you know, they have everything that we need and and even more, right? even like AIA was something that I didn't think that they would have and here we are ripping off 100% banger on that trade. So, still in the outcoin trades, guys. Not in BTC or Ethereum right now. We'll talk about why and we'll talk about where I'm looking to get positioned. Um, but shout out to Bitex, guys. Please, any questions, concerns with them. Please let me know. Um, they are starting another bonus rewards program for you guys on the 14th. So, in 3 days, we're going to kind of get everything going uh and and have another trading competition over there. So, please get on over to BitX, start trading over there. You know, I don't know if you guys were able to capture any rewards from the trading volume competition. I definitely did. I ended up making like 56 thousand off of it. So, um hopefully you guys are taking advantage of them because they are really g giving us some good offers to uh to be taken advantage of.

And then also, Rainbet, the new partner, they are a gambling website. They are a sports betting website. Again, I think they are great. I live in Vegas. I love doing all that [ __ ] I love slots. I love, you know, sports betting, doing parlays on UFC fights. So, any questions, concerns with Rain Bet, please let me know, guys. I I just enjoy it. You know, an extra 200 bucks, 500 bucks there can really kind of make a difference for you if if you're kind of into that sort of stuff. I've always been into it. Um, so the partnership, me living in Vegas, just kind of goes hand in hand and makes sense. So, shout out to Bitunx and Rain Bet.

So, let's jump into this, guys. On BTC, we have no new levels. There is nothing that I am really continuing to watch or continuing to monitor. No NPC levels have printed within the past like three days. So again, not over complicating, not going to overthink it. We are still just within this range. Right now, we are about median ML of this range and we are in premium prices of this range. When we start to get into premium prices, this isn't where I look to long, right? The long was when we built it all the way back here. We built multiple longs. We traded BTC the past two weeks really well. We ended up longing down here at 64979. Boom. We had a profitable trade. We also ended up longing down here at 65305 and 63008. Boom. We had a profitable trade. So as BTC is kind of just sluggishly going a little bit higher. I'm not too interested in getting positioned. When I want to get positioned is still going to be lower. Again, we created this on 32. So about 9 days ago, we want to re we created that we wanted a retest of 63864. And within that retest doesn't have to happen. It doesn't have to happen right away. Maybe we run up here. We close this out. I kind of talked about this last stream. we deviate and then we get that retest and then boom, we can be off to the races. I think I would love this as a current range trader. As someone that likes trading the range, I think that this would open up a lot of opportunities for one, us to be shorting and for one, us to have patience to be longing. I still don't know if I want to short. I am just not the best short seller. I get questions all the time on like, why aren't you shorting BTC? Why aren't this? Why aren't that? Look, the last time that I shorted BTC with any sort of size was at 96K, right? We are now down about 52% off the highs. It's just not where I really want to be shorting BTC. I get it. I understand if you think we're in a bare market and you think we're going to 50K and we're going to 40K, sure, that is a possibility. But when we're down 52% on Bitcoin, it's just not where I want to be aggressively shorting and it's not where I will be aggressively shorting. I am still my advantage as as as a trader and I've known this for a long time has always been to have patience for dips and then to be buying those dips. Can that sometimes go against you during a trending market like we've seen the past couple of months? Of course, right? I know if you guys been following me, I got caught in this right here. I think I was longing 75k and we ended up ripping all the way down to 59K. So, I took a little bit of a hit, but that doesn't really deter me from still what I'm the best at at trading, which is still dip buying on those red days, having patience for our NPC setups, having patience for discounted prices, and then longing into those discounted prices. That's where I'm the best at my trading. And so, that's what I stick to. Look, if you like, if you want to short, I think go ahead. We create short setups for a reason. Sometimes I take them, sometimes I don't. The next area for us to short is at that 72499. So, we are getting up into that area. Again, I don't know if I'll short it. I think that if you do want to short, that would be the place to do it. It kind of goes handinhand with the whole structure that we kind of just created here where we maybe potentially deviate a little bit higher. We come back down and then we do this. I think that this would be a decent area to at least hedge if you're long from lower. Um, again, I personally, I wouldn't go all in short here. It's just not the way that I like to do things. It's not how I really like to perceive things. And we kind of talked about this too where it hasn't really played out, but it's still the same game plan. It's still having patience for that 63864 NPC print. And that's still going to be where I want to long BTC next. If we don't get that long, no harm, no foul, right? Because what could happen, and this is just another uh option as far as, you know, scenarios and looking to be looking to long and to short is we could impulse higher and come up all the way to that 78196. And again, we have a short setup from there as well. We have a short setup that we created at the beginning of last month. Basically over a month ago to where we would like a retest to 78196. So that's where I would be a little bit more comfortable hedging and taking a short position. Not really at 72 just because we tal about it. We're beating down about 52% off the highs. It's not where I look to be shorting aggressively. So again, from a range standpoint, something like this could happen and then a new range will start to formulate. Right? This was once resistance and then turned into support. Maybe we have some NPOC prints lower and we kind of do something like this and then we can kind of get long in this area and then we can move higher into that 80s 90K area. That's what I want as a bull. As someone that likes to long, as someone that is a long-term crypto guy, this is the structure that I would want. I don't really want a retest of 63864. Although I'm open to it and although I do know how I'm going to react if we get it, that's still not ideally what I want from someone that just is in the crypto industry and wants crypto to go higher just in general. So this would be more ideal. Again, we won't really know. I think that 78196 does offer a little bit better of a hedge than here at about that 72499. So again, this is probably the scenario that I would like to happen the best. Um but again, we don't know what's going to happen. All we can do is take the data and the charting and the NPC prints and the structures and the edge that we create and kind of base our trades off of that. And so this is kind, you know, currently still just what I'm watching is we're still just in this range. We kind of talked about this being a potential right here and we also talked about this being a potential here. So the more bullish structure is obviously this one where we leg up into that 780K. We reject, we come back down to about that 7172 and then that will be our next dip by opportunity. Hopefully there's some NPOC prints within that and then we can find a long position within there. So that's how I'm looking to trade BTC going forward. Um we'll just kind of have to see again if we drop from here and we retest range lows. I think a lot of people have eyes on range lows, guys. Even myself included. So when I have eyes on range lows and everybody I'm seeing posting on X has eyes at range lows. Maybe it gets front run. Maybe we go higher first and then we can get a little bit better of a hedge on Bitcoin cuz I think a lot of people once we run up to these highs of about 74 73K are going to look to short that. And if you guys know me, let me pull this up really quick. Um, let's see where. Okay, let's go to the liquidity map here. And if you guys know me, we'll refresh this. I still think that the higher liquidity grab for Bitcoin is up, right? You know, and that's, you know, where a lot of people are like, "What's the most pain? What's this? What's that?" We can get this to reload here. Come on, Spec. If we look at this just from the three-month liquidity heat map, there's not much liquidity to the downside. Yeah, you could go, you know, into the lower term time frame and you can find those high liquidity heat map levels like right here at about that 68, but I don't really like heat maps that much because I think that they draw people towards levels that aren't as realistic as you may think. This doesn't really mean anything to me. It just means that that's where people are going to get liquidated and we don't know if they're going to get liquidated on the longs or the shorts. But if we look at a threemonth liquidation heat map, you could still see that there's way more stacked over here on the long side. So that would mean that more shorts are getting liquidated as price goes higher. Maybe we can even deviate into that 91175 area. That would be great. There was a clear clear-cut area of demand within that on the downside. So I still think the pain is higher. Um, and I, you know, again, I would love a front run of the 63864, and I would love a ton of people to get squeezed out as they short into that previous highs of about 7374. Um, so that's what I'm looking for on Bitcoin. Not going to over complicate it.

Ethereum is going to be very similar. Uh, getting into the current range here. You know, we've kind of talked about this as well. This is the one hour current range. And a lot of people ask me, well, where do you get your range plays from? I think a lot of people kind of focus on this range here, which I get that's more of a low-term time frame range, but I stack my ranges on top of each other. So, the upper limit of our current 1 hour range was previously the lower limit of our 4hour range. So, that's the way that I like to stack ranges just because it holds a little bit more merit if you use a previous point of infliction of that 876-9 that was once support. that support cracked and then hopefully we can retest that upper limit of our lowterm time frame range 1 hour and that previous lower limit of the um 4hour range. So that's kind of how I stack my ranges. I know people can do it differently. Uh for me it's it's more of like a swing trade thesis. There's a lot of people that you know maybe want to dial in on something like this right here to where they can kind of find longs within this area or shorts within this area, but it's the same thing, right? Just because the W the range is a little bit wider, this is still a premium price point. So if you short anywhere in a premium price point, that's a good trade in my opinion. And same thing at the discounted prices. If you are longing anywhere in the discounted prices, this is a good area to be stacking those bids and to be looking to long in that area. So current range stays the same. We are tapping into premium prices a little bit. This is still kind of a no trade zone for me if I'm being honest, guys. It's median ML. It's equilibrium of the range. And I look for those high conviction upper limit premium prices and those high excuse me those high conviction lower limit discounted prices. So that's why we were longing in this area. That's why you know if we do get back up into this 7880k that's why I will be shorting you know there is an NPC at 78. Um there is an NPC down at 63 which is technically those high conviction areas of the current range. So a very very basic structure to be looking at a very basic structure for us to be trading off of. It's nothing complicated. Keep it simple stupid. I really look to be keeping it as simple as possible. I think if you can keep trading simplified, I think if you can understand where support is, where resistance is, you know when to long and you know when to short. I've told this story a lot, but one of my mentors when I first started trading in penny stocks, we both started trading the same account size with the same mentor over in the Tim Sykes trading challenge in like 2016, right? This was like in 2016. His name's Roland Wolf. He's a multi-millionaire. He's a great trader, but he started to really like surpass me as far as P&L. And I think I was like down maybe 20K, 25K just on my lifetime P&L. And this dude, we started at the same time and about 3 4 months in, he was already at like 60, 70, 80, you know, 600,000. I don't even remember what it was, but he was just seeing success instantly. And then, you know, he started to create his own trading courses and his own, you know, um, his own, uh, I guess framework for how he traded his edge. And, you know, he took me on as a mentor, you know, yeah, he took me on as someone to kind of coach. And he basically dialed it down like this. And it's the most simplest basic thing you can think of when it's trading. If you can identify support and resistance, and it doesn't matter how you do that. It could be current range trading. It could be NPC levels. It could be value area highs, value area lows, it could be simple moving averages, exponential moving averages, it can be some sort of divergence or even like a parabolic SAR indicator. It doesn't really matter. Just something that you to the eye can see. If you can identify where support and resistance is, and for me and for him it was horizontal levels, just basic levels that you can find. Yeah, you could use like um uh fair value gaps, you know, [ __ ] but for me it was just horizontal levels. And once you can identify support and resistance, then you know exactly where to be longing. You know exactly where to be shorting. You know exactly to be worth taking profits. You know exactly where to be covering your shorts. And so that just like really stuck with me. Again, it did take me some time before I was able to kind of climb out of that hole in the negative, but lo and behold, today really has helped my trading for the better over the course of the last really it's almost been [ __ ] technically it's been like 10 years now. I've been trading for 10 [ __ ] years. So, um you know, that's the, you know, the simple most basic thing that I could really kind of talk to you guys about as far as like simplifying your trading, as far as making it something that is easy for you because you don't want to over complicate it. You don't want all these indicators. You don't want all these different techniques and what this, you know, guru is doing and what this teacher is doing and, you know, there's this whole long-term this, all that. You know, just really kind of dial it in on on what works best for you. And for me, it's it's just it's just always been kind of current range trading. Um, but let's see. We're going to dive into Ethereum. Patience wins in crypto in my opinion. I do agree. 7874 is a premium short zone if we don't see 63 first. Yeah, I agree, Derek. Completely. Uh, people posting on X not all that bright. I would not give any attention to what they say. I completely agree with you as well. Can you show us how you draw your range on a low-term time frame range 15-minute? Yeah, we could do that for sure. So, uh the way that I would draw the range on this 15-minute here would be the same way that I draw every single range, right? You want to find those points of infliction. You want to find those points of pivots and you want to find those points. Yeah, 15 minutes a little tough. We could just do 30 minute. Um I would just do this one right here. And I think we talked about this. I I don't have it mapped out, but um it would basically be something like this, right? to where this was a support level, then that support level cracked, and then it was a resistance level, and then down here you have this, and you have these kind of touches. So, this was would be how I would kind of navigate a 30 minute or 15-minute range, and then everything would be the same as like a 4hour range or a 1 hour range to where these are premium prices, these are discounted prices. Now, you have to take it with a little bit of a grain of salt because it's a lower term time frame, right? So, I like that 1 hour to 2 hour to 4 hour current range because it kind of expands the range for you. Um, it gives you a little bit more patience within the swing trade and then it also gives you a little bit more patience into waiting for lower levels too. So, same thing. You want to be building longs in the discounted price and you want to be taking profits in premium. As of right now, this is a premium price point for the 15 to 30 minute current range. This is where you should be taking profits or this is where you should potentially be hedging short. We kind of already talked about why I don't want to be hedging short over with the NPC setup and over with the NPOC structure, but this is how you can navigate it. Again, you're longing anywhere in the discounted prices. You at least have some opportunity be to be taking profits on a trading range right now. Just because you long right here at 65K doesn't mean that you're going to get all the way to 74K. But if you're peeling profits off right here at about 70, that's not a bad trade to be taking along with a range to be trading. Look, we're not even talking about the highs and the lows here. That's about a 7% move. That is a 10% move or that is a 70% move with 10x leverage. So, that's why I do like low leverage because you can actually utilize the range to be profitable within your trading throughout, you know, trading a range like this. So, this is the way that I would uh, you know, potentially set up like a 15-minute chart or 15 to 30 minute current range. And as of right now, we are at premium prices. It's just not the most ideal place for me to be taking long. So, that's the way that I would look at it. Um, going over to the high-term time frame on BTC, I still think 74492 is the most critical point that we could be looking at on BTC. We Let's see here. Why did it go away? Let's go one hour range. Um, that's the 2025 yearly lows, guys. Um, I think if we can get above that point, then we could retest up in this area. But that that is a resistance level for now. um which is why we do have the short setup potentially at this 72499. So it just depends on on how you want to play it. You know, there there's multiple ways to um there's multiple ways to to to play the long side and the short side, especially on on a current range. Once price starts to range, it really can open up you to trading uh you know, different styles and trading the way that you want to trade. Um, let's see here. What's today? Today's Wednesday. Okay, today is Wednesday. Okay, and I mean incorporating the NPC's are very very uh very easy, man. You just incorporate them like this. Um you go over to the NPC's, you find where they are, you incorporate them, you add a little bit of confluence. Um 63834 is an NPC with inconuence with discounted prices. So that's why we want to long and buy that area. Um did you check the Doge setup? Yeah. Uh no, we'll check the we'll check the Doge setup uh here in a little bit. But yeah, so like I said, 74492 is that 2025 yearly lows that we need to get above. I think if we do get above that, we could easily easily get back into the 80s and the 90s. Um, so getting into ETH, it's very similar. I'm not going to go over this. It's really the same thing as Bitcoin. Not going to go over it too much. We have the range. We have the median ML. We are right now at premium prices. We want to be longing discounted prices. And getting into that, we can see that we have that palong that is still a potential lower 1903 um 1826. So that's what I like on ETH. I think that we still have a potential to drop into that area. And again, I think we did talk about this last stream as well where we could look at something potentially very similar to BTC where we come up here, maybe we deviate a little bit higher and then we reject and then we come up and then boom, we're off to the races on Ethereum after closing out all NPC's within our current range. So, very very similar to what Bitcoin is looking at. We'll come over here and uh kind of save this into a folder and we'll kind of continue to just monitor that setup. Um, but yeah, the short still the same around that 2122. I don't know if I'm going to take it. I still think that we could go higher. Um, getting into the current range. We are still at discounted prices on Ethereum here, guys. So, from the 1 hour range, still a pretty good place to be longing in my opinion. I think that, you know, if you're longing throughout and building an Ethereum long within this, it's going to bode really well when we get back up into upper limit and NPOC levels of that 2735. I would say if I were to long BTC or Ethereum right now, I would say that Ethereum is probably the better risk-to-reward in my opinion because you have an easy invalidation compared to where we are on BTC where the invalidation is a little bit wider. So, that's what we're looking for on Ethereum. Again, it's very, very, very similar to Bitcoin. So, I'm not going to go too much into depth into that. I really want to get into some alcoins and talk about alcoins that we have kind of going on right now. The trades that we're in, AIA is crushing it. Shout out to the member that brought this up to me. I mean, this thing has [ __ ] been a beast. Um, and this is why I don't like hard stop losses. This is going to be a lesson for some of you guys. I know someone said earlier that they kind of got stopped out or they they closed the AIAA trade a little too soon. I think within the setup that we had, the stop loss was a run of these lows and we ran them, right? We ran the lows on that, which is why I [ __ ] hate fixed stop-loss levels. What I did instead of using that as a stop-loss and then missing out on the on this move higher here, I ended up just adding to it. I kept adding to AIA. I think I had four or five different ads on this trade. I mean, this trade has really turned into a banger for me. I took profits once already. I already took like 800 bucks off the table and that was only about 40% of the entire position size. So, I am still doing really well on AIAA, but had I stuck to sweeping these lows as a hard stop-loss level, I would have missed out on all those profits. And so, again, I I say this over and over again, but I hate stop-loss levels. I hate using a swing of the lows or a two to 3% stop-loss level as something as a form of protection because it can easily go against you. And this is just an example of one of those ones that would have gone against us. Imagine you took an entry here. You had a stop loss here at these range of these lows. That stop loss is hit and then finally we move into the direction that we want and we retest 15 cents. I have been that trader that has bled my account of a thousand cuts. I have I trust me I have been that trader that has done everything. I've had the 2% stop loss. I had the swing of the low stop-loss. I had a hard stop loss because I was super afraid to walk away from the computer and I didn't want to lose money and all like trust me I have always I have been through every single phase of trading and I have tried almost every single strategy that there is out there on stop losses. What has worked best for me has been instead of taking a stop-loss level, I've added to them. And I know that that can be scary and I know that it won't be for everybody, but it's fixed my situation of missing moves like this on the stop-loss, right? because now I get to reap the benefits of what is actually happening instead of getting stopped out and then price moving in the direction we want and then you get into revenge trading and then you overtrade and yah this and that. So all I did was I took an entry and I added to it like about three or four different times or maybe it was even five times I don't remember. It's all on the telegram so you can look back at it and even when we started swinging at the lows here I added to it. I didn't use it as a stop-loss. I added to that position and then here we are now up over 100% on that trade. So, just a lesson. I I I understand that there needs to be risk in place and I understand that I really hope that you do have your risk in place, but I think hard stop-loss entries are exactly where you need to be careful because then this is just a perfect example of what can happen. My entry is where your stop loss is, David Paul. Exactly. I mean, it's it's, you know, you have to experience it, right? Don't be hard on yourself if you do get stopped out on a trade like this and then you miss the entire thing. Look, we've all been there as traders. We've all been there. I've been there. I know a lot of you guys have been there. Um, but that's exactly right from David Paul from, you know, maniac here is my entry is where your stop loss is. How many people probably had a stop on AIA right here and then boom, it got stopped out for what? This was these are 4hour candles. So, like maybe a day and a half, a day and a half, it was below where the stop loss was. And then just just from that stop loss and those lows, we've ripped about about 40%. Right? So, you want to tell me because you don't have patience for a day and a half, you're going to miss out on 40%. Or, you know, you don't have the ability to potentially add or or be in the red a little bit to miss out on that 40%. So, um, just a good example. I'm still in AIA. I have another target at 11. I have another target at 15. I've taken profits on it once. I probably have about 60% to 65% of that overall position size still in play. But I did already take profits on it. I am still happy with taking profits along the way. Sometimes I take profits a little bit too early as we know from our river trade, but it doesn't really matter to me. Profits are profits and as long as I can extract profits from these markets, it's something that I look to be doing every single day. You can never go broke taking profits. Do you miss out on some? Like you guys would have no idea how much money I've missed out on by taking profits too early. It's probably in the seven figures by taking profits a little bit too early, you know, not having uh, you know, not scaling out properly, going all in and all out, and then, you know, boom, it continues to go higher and higher. Specifically in 2020, in 2021, I missed out on a lot of money because I did not scale out properly. I did have some really big trades, but I could have made more money. uh you know it's neither here nor there. You can say that you can always make more money within trading as long as you're extracting capital from the markets. That's all that you need to be doing. Um but seriously, how do you manage risk then? My risk is position sizing. That's my risk, right? So the way that I risk or the way that I risk this Bitex account is this. I'm okay with blowing the whole account, right? Because it's not all the money that I have. And so that's my risk. My risk is taking this 10K account. It's now at like 25 or 26K after some of these winners that we've had. Um about 150% increase on that account, which is great because it was a [ __ ] grind since we started this in October. But we are finally now seeing some good percentage moves to the upside. My risk normally comes from just feel or blowing the account. But you guys got to understand, if I blow this account, I technically only lose 10K. So it's not the end of the world for me. I know sometimes that might be the end of the world for some people, but at the end of the day, that's what has always helped me with managing the risk that I have because I hate hard stop losses. I think that when you show your market makers exactly where your stop is, they go against you. But like, okay, now I'll probably take the risk down a little bit since I've grown the account, right? It's now at about 150% increase to the upside. So maybe I I take a little bit of a different approach to where, you know, maybe uh the overall position size is like five sixk on a trade and then I'm willing to eat, you know, half of that. So it's like a 50% loss on that one trade, you know. So it just it just depends on the position sizing that I get because I don't get full position sizes on every single trade that I take. There's sometimes where I'll take a starter entry and that starter entry is 800 bucks to a,000 bucks and that hits big for me and I then that's a 100% winner. But at the end of the day, I would have loved to get a 10K position size on that, but I'm not going to uh be hard on myself for making a thousand bucks or making 800 bucks. It's just kind of the way that it is. So, that's kind of the way that I I I navigate my trading and my portfolio, especially on these account challenges on Bitunx because look, blowing a 10K account is is not that big of a deal for me. And um so, you know, if you have a portfolio that's 100K, maybe you take 5K and start leverage trading with it a little bit. Don't use it all. Don't use all of your trading bullets for a leverage trading account. You know, I know that's a lot easier said than done, but it took me a long time to get to where I am to where I'm willing to lose 10K on a trading portfolio. But I also have friends out there that have, you know, their risk is a million dollar, right? Or $500,000. So, you know, my risk is just the account size. Would it suck to blow a 25K account? Yeah, it would absolutely suck. But in the big grand scheme of things, technically it was only uh 10K worth of the money that I put up front. So yeah, the risk is a it's something that took me years to kind of build and kind of understand to fit what works best for me. So again, you have to do diligence on performing what your risk is. And by all means, use a hard stop if you want to use a hard stop. I'm just showing an example of why I personally don't like hard stop-loss levels because this would have been a perfect example of missing out on a 100% banger on this trade for AIA. But I still think AIA goes higher. We have higher price targets and we'll kind of just go from there. But shoot off some alcoins, guys. Let's see. For those that use VP uh VPVR, BTC from the current range of volume and trading 68k coins is a liquidation heat map on a low time frame. Yeah, I don't use that. I don't I don't use a volume profile volume profile visible range. It's too fixated for me. I like just that daily volume inflow. I like where those daily liquidity grabs. And so that is why I personally use SVP instead of um you know the volume profiling visible range because then then you're you're getting a a whole bunch of volume from one range. Um it's just it's just not my thing. Do you have multiple separate accounts to be able to do this and take off and being liquidated of your own portfolio? Let's see. Wait, do you have multiple separate accounts to be able to do this and take off the risk of being liquidated? This is my only leverage trading account. I don't, you know, I I have obviously a lot of spot holdings. Uh I trade spot on certain things. You know, I have Kraken. Uh I have a Kraken account. I have a Coinbase account. I have a stock account. Um, you know, I also have like a um an onchain wallet that's no um that has no leverage on it. This is my only leverage trading account. So, technically this is the only one that I can get liquidated on. And I use that to minimize my risk. That's a way for me to risk my overall trading, my overall management of the assets that I own. Um, is to really minimize the account. But, you know, this is the smallest account challenge we've done, guys. We we've had accounts where we've ran 25K to 110K, you know, last year in 2025, right? So, this one right now, it has been the smallest. I sized down in October right before the 1010 cascade, which was like literally a blessing. And it's been a slow grind back to getting this account to 150K. I mean, or to 150% move to the upside, which is about 25K for me. I mean, literally, it's been um October, November, December. It's really been about four to it's really been about four and a half months to where it's been a slow trading environment for us to to maximize on this smaller account challenge. So, um you know, it is what it is. Every single month isn't going to be perfect. Do you have slow months? You have slow sessions? You have slow chunks of time where you're not going to be extracting as much capital as you as you want to be extracting. Will you exit and trade if it's invalidated? How? But will you exit and trade if it's invalidated? How? Um I mean, I tell you guys when I take when I cut the trade, I tell you guys when I cut the trade, a lot of it has to do with BTC and Ethereum, too. Um again, it always comes down to what you're comfortable with. Most people are not comfortable doing what I do. And I get that. I understand that if you're trying to uh you know protect a trading account that that protection of that trading account is completely different than the way that I protect my trading account. It's like golf. I use the I you last thing on this whole risk [ __ ] because we are way off topic on it. If you're trying to trade or you're trying to golf exactly like somebody else, it it doesn't [ __ ] work. If you try and trade like somebody else and do exactly what somebody is doing, it doesn't [ __ ] work. Every trader out there that is successful always has one piece of advice for everybody trying to learn to trade, and it's figure out what works for you. Figure out the position size that works best for you. Figure out the account size that works best for you, the way that you risk, the way that you take entries, B, whether it's moving averages or NPC's or current ranges or whatever. There's a lot of good traders out there, guys. I am not saying that my technique is the only one technique. You have got to learn from as many people as possible and compile everything to what makes sense for you. Everybody's different. If you're approaching the [ __ ] golf shot and you're in sand and the person next to you is perfectly sitting in the fairway, do you really think that you're going to get the same exact hit as that person? Too many logistics into play. Um, so that that that's my rant on it. it it's very tough for me to give invalidation levels because a lot of the times what'll happen and this this has happened from experience. It's not just because I don't want to do this. I people will get stopped out on this trade, right? And I and I don't, right? Because I'm not stopped out on it right now. But when people get stopped out, normally it was a small hit for me. Maybe it was a thousand. Maybe I'm down a,000 bucks or 2,000 bucks. So instead of taking the $2,000 loss, I would add to it, right? I I would add to the trade and while my trade is now in profit, people are stopped out and then they're pissed at me, right? So that's why I don't like doing that. I don't like being like, "Here's the hard stop. You got to listen to everything I say. You got to cut here. You got to take profits here." I do the best to navigate you guys through the Telegram of when I'm adding or this is where I want to add or hey, this is when I just cut the trade. You know, I give you guys real time alerts on everything. Every time I take a new entry, I I give you guys an alert. Every time I take profits, I give you guys an alert. Every time I cut a trade, I give you guys the alert. It's very tough for me as someone who's trying to teach people to be like, "Yo, this is how you have to take a stop loss here." Because how many people are probably going to be pissed right now if they're stopped out and I'm up 100% on the trade? A ton of people. So, that's why I just continued to add to it. I told you guys when I was adding to AIA and here we are. If you took the trade with me and you're in profit on that trade, boom. we're good. But if you cut where I had initially had the stop loss and I was like, "Oh, I'm I'm I'm cut out of this trade. My stop-loss level hit. It's a loss." And then we all miss out on it. So, my thing is like, hey, I'm just going to talk you guys through everything that I do on the Telegram. I never once said that I was going to cut the AI trade. All I kept telling you guys was, I'm adding to it. I'm adding to it. Here was our stop-loss level, but instead of getting stopped out and cutting the trade, I'm actually adding to the trade. So, that's again the way that I try and run the Telegram so that you guys can learn the best from it. Uh, but alcoins, let's get into it. What do you guys want to see? ZRO ZRO still looks [ __ ] bomb, right? This one hasn't even hit the stop loss. This has been a banger trade. We've caught this for like 400% trades. Caught it here. We caught it here. We're catching it here. And I think this trades literally, in my opinion, all the way up above to maybe even $3. So, I'm in ZRO. I'm still long ZRO. I'm still holding partial position size on ZRO. Now, it's not the full position size. I've obviously scaled out a couple times, but I'm still trying to maximize ROI within that trade overall. Um, Trader Trador has kind of given back a little bit, but we've done well on it. Again, I've scaled out a bunch. Uh, maybe like three or four times I've scaled out on Trader. So, if this does retest, no harm, no foul. We've already locked in profits on that. Um, stop loss happens to me almost every uh with almost every altcoin with every almost all trade because the swings are so wild. Yeah. Well, y'all Yeah, it's I mean it's tough. I mean, hey, you know, I'm long on WorldFi right now and this may get stopped out, but again, you cannot live and die by these things right here. You cannot live and die by them. And so, if we start to trend back down into this direction, look, maybe I add right here and then we deviate lower, we run the lows and then this has the move to the upside. I don't know. I mean, I'm still just kind of in the mindset that, hey, I think this setup is good. I think bidding at lower limit levels is always going to be good on current range trading. So, you mean to tell me you have a tight stop loss within this area that's going to make you miss the entire move back up to upper limit range highs? We all know deviations happen to the upside and to the downside. Outside of lower limit, outside of upper limit, deviations happens. the traders that are successful are the ones that can capture and understand the fact that deviations occur and that sure sometimes you might get caught off guard with them like

I was on BTC when we had that crazy weekend, but for the most part, that doesn't happen all the time. Um, so I'm okay with taking losses to continue to average into positions where we're sitting at good levels, like we are on WorldFi at lower limit here.

Um, but what do you guys want? Doge. I'm still long on Doge. Guess what? I added to Doge today. I think I've added to Doge three times or twice already, the initial entry, and then I've added to it down in this level too. I think Doge is a great setup. We're sitting at lower limit. We're sitting at range lows. If you want a tight stop loss of 2 to 3%, that's going to help you miss out on this move to the upside of upper limit. That's on you. That's not on me. Right? I know that lower limit is an area we want to be dollar cost averaging into positions at. So, if we deviate a little bit lower, we all know that deviations happen. Acceptance back in, maybe we get a double bottom here, guys, and then boom, we can be off to the races. So, I'm looking to build Doge over some time. I'm not looking to uh overdo Doge. I like Doge. I think that we're sitting at lower limit areas. Lower limit discounted prices are always where you want to be dollar cost averaging into long plays. I've said that for years. Lower limit, discounted prices, longs, longs, longs, longs, longs, longs, longs. That's where you want to be building. Even if you take a long a little bit too early, you know, it still doesn't discount the fact that you are at a discounted price point just from October 10th on Doge. And Doge is also those ones to where, look, Elon just has to tweet about it once and this thing goes. So, I like Doge. It's clearly building an area of interest right here. It's been, you know, kind of slapped down a couple times, but I like that because then it gives us more time to be kind of capturing the trade. Um, so clearly building an area of demand at lower limit, which is a discounted price point support level. I am happy to continue to build that Doge position between now and, you know, a couple weeks from now.

Um, why is this not where what time is it? It's 10:11. Sorry, I'm um I got some stuff going on with back home. My pops is a basketball coach back home and he's in a state tournament right now. So, I just want to watch what is happening with that game. on it. They're losing right now. All right, so um that's Doge. That's all the plays that we're in. AIA, ZRO, Trador, Wolfy, Dogecoin. Still long on all those. Um, altcoins look pretty good. So, let's get into your guys's um let's duplicate this here. What do you guys want to see? I saw Bio was one of them. I don't know what Bio is, but let's take a look. Yeah, I mean, Bio looks I mean, look, I don't know what Bio is, but it looks pretty damn near bottomed. What the hell is Bio? God, I hate to say this, but I like Bio. These are all going to be bottom charts, guys. This is why I'm ready for altcoins to to come roaring back a little bit here. I can already tell I'm going to like this play and I'll show you guys why here in just a sec. I just want to see if we can trade this on. We can we we can like look, this is such a basic form of technicals that it really shouldn't overcomplicate things for us. Right? It's very easy to come in here with the current range, locate where upper limit is, locate where lower limit is. You can even you can even call this a deviation here, but we're going to extend it for the sole fact of this video. Look, we are sitting at a lower limit of Bio here. I don't know what Bio is, but it's clearly not wanting to break down from two cents, right? Support, support, support, support, support, holding. I like it, you know, and again, if you want to be that person that throws hard stop-loss levels on it, it's a very easy invalidation play, you know. Um, you risk the lows of 6% and you have the highs potentially of 100%. I mean, this is a 1 to 10 ratio trade here. This is a pretty banger trade. And just for the sole fact of me trading with you guys, we're going to take a long here and see how it goes. Going to put it on 7x. Confirm. We're going to take a little position. We're going to see how it goes. It's not going to be profitable right away. Doesn't seem like it. Let's see. Oops. Yeah, it's kind of hard to get fills on this actually. I don't know why. Let me see. All right, excuse me. Boom. We're in Bio. I mean, I just like this setup. It's literally the setup that we're looking at on everything right now. It's the same setup on Doge. It's the same setup on WorldFi. Not really Trador so much, but it's the same setup on AIA. Was the same setup on AIA. So, these are just looking good. These are rock bottom plays here. You know, if you could be aggressive, not aggressive, but if you can be active during these times, some things may some things may really work out. Even when BTC dropped under 65K, it's holding. So, I believe it's oversold. Yeah. I mean, it clearly looks oversold. This thing is stone bottom. I mean, this has got to be like uh I mean, this has got to be like 99% off the highs here. Like, this is nuts, right? So, like if you're looking to trade this, um, like this is the most discounted price point it's ever been at like 98%. So, it's like, hey, way better to long it at minus 90% than minus 50% or whatever. So, I I kind of like Bio here again. I don't know. You guys bring me the weirdest tickers, I must say. Like, you really do. AIA, Trador, Bio, you know, I knew nothing what I don't know what any of these things are and I don't really care what any of these things are, but what I do know is the setups are there. The longing support levels, the longing the lower limit, they're all setups are there. So, you know, it's worth a stab on some of them and and really, it's helped me a lot just by even just trading Trador the last couple of weeks. But I like Bio. We're now in a long on Bio and we will see how it plays out. What else do you guys want to see? This is really is 48 minutes. I I really want to put out coins in the heavy talk of today because I think altcoins um look pretty phenomenal here, guys. All right. I mean, deuces later, Jules, thanks for joining, man. Can you look at XPL? XPL has a lot of hate. Yeah, Plasma. We could totally look at Plasma. Um, oh, not definitely not on bonds. Yeah, we tried to trade this a couple times. Um, and it didn't really work out. People hate hate hate on Plasma. I mean, for right reasons. I think this was a very jaded launch, you know? I mean, I think we tried to long this back here at 25 cents and I think we tried to long it again at like 18 cents. I don't know. This one has so much like hype behind it and so much of like people talking this and talking that. I I kind of want to stay away from it, but it's not a terrible setup. I mean, you could throw something on it like this and just use this as a range, but as of right now, even on this range, right, we're still kind of trading at premium prices. Um, and you know, it's just not where I look to be getting. But I mean, look, it does have a trend line. Maybe we retest this. Like, you could risk a break of this trend line on this trade if you wanted to. You know, this is how this is another way you could come up with your with your risk um with your risk tolerance levels, right? You could long here and and risk a break of this trend. And I still think that, you know, the risk-to-reward is decent. It's still not my ideal um it's not my ideal setup, as you guys know. I like to be longing discounted prices, but yeah, you could long it's just not what you're looking at a 2:1 ratio here. So, the risk-to-reward just isn't really there in my opinion because you're looking at highs of maybe 12 and then the crack of this trend line. You could tighten it up and it be like six, six and a half with a with a 21% move to the upside. I mean, the ratio is just not really there for for me on Plasma. Guess what? I brought most of them. Yeah, you have, dude. I mean, you really, really have. You You're sending me all these crazy tickers, the man. I know it's you, too. What's your opinion on prop firms? Opinion on prop firms is if you need money and you're a good trader, do it. I don't like prop firms, but I also use prop firms when I didn't have money. Um, but you know, yeah, prop firms, you know, it's just it's just what it's just what you need. If if you need capital, it's not a bad idea. The the problem with prop firms is your tolerance to the downside is very tight. So, if you take any loss at all that's of significance, your funding gets pulled right away. So, you have to be a very squared away trader and a very good trader to be successful with with prop firms. You can't have downside of 10% on a trade. You can't have I don't even know what most prop firms downside are, but I know FTMO when I use them, it was super tight. It was like 6%. Um, it's good. It's good experience, you know, to get funded. It's very uh rewarding, right, to to trade, get a funded account, start trading a little bit. But I I don't think I made much money trading from a prop firm. It was more or less a lesson for me to kind of uh kind of expand my trading skill set with a larger portfolio.

All right. Anything else that you guys I'm not seeing any tickers. Oh, ICP. Come on, guys. Let's get Let's look at some here. Um, ICP. Yeah. No, look look. I love ICP. This was one of the ones that I really fumbled the bag on back here in 2024. I had a huge bag of ICP and totally sold it at stone bottom and it ran um whatever I mean whatever it was. U yeah like 600 missed out on so much money and I even lost on that trade too. So but yeah, I mean ICP is good. I think that, you know, the $2 range, ICP, I I thought has always been a ticker that has been worth the watch. Um, hence why I was trading it. But the one thing I will say is like, look, this thing had a really massive move after, you know, the 10-10 capitulation. And if you want to use I I wouldn't even know really how to use a range on this. I mean, sadly, I would say that it's kind of coming up into a resistance level here. Um, but if it does get past this resistance, I think you can easily look at, you know, a retest of something like this here at about that 477. Um, but it's just, you know, what what's your what's your risk on? What's your tolerance? I think that the, you know, again, the risk-reward, I don't really like using these whole stop-loss level things. But, you know, you could risk these lows of about 23% and the runup could be about 80%. So, that's not bad. you know, uh, 8020, uh, 4:1 ratio. It's not not a bad one. Um, you know, just depending on how you want to look at things. Does CZ still have plans to crime Aster? I don't know. I like Aster. Um, I do. I I think that, you know, Aster is one of those ones that I do think it gets crimed. We've had the setup on it for a while now. I have an alert that What happened to my alert here? What the Edit alert crossing. Did it get hit or something? I don't think it got hit. So, we're just going to add this again. So, yeah, I have an alert down here at about that 65 cent area. So, if Aster gets to 65 cents, I would be potentially interested in this potential head and shoulders. Um, again though, it's not like the most ideal scenario here, right? Because we're sitting at premium prices. We like discounted prices. Even if we do long 65%, you're still longing a premium price point of the asset of that range. So, it's just not it's not my ideal, oh, I really want to get into Aster. I think it gets crimed higher by CC because of everything going on with with hype, but um, who knows? Yeah, I mean, Aster is bundled as it's bundled to all the Binance big wigs, you know, which could be a good thing depending on how you look at it. So, I think hype is a buy the dip play. I won't chase here, but we've I kind of talked about this. It kind of front it kind of front run our uh our entry because our entry right here was 23 was 23 bucks. Did not get there. It was close. It was close. It was a uh you know 6% miss. Um, but it is what it is. I like hype. I just can't chase here. I think any significant dips on hype I would like to buy. We are kind of coming up into a resistance point here. But, um, yeah, I mean, we could we could move we could move our alert again a little bit higher, but I I up on hype. I had entries from like 23 back in this area and I closed on this low right here. Um, I thought it was going sub 20. I think I closed at like 21 something. Um, and then boom, we had this impulse. So, I don't want to revenge trade hype. Um, it is one of those ones that I do have spot holdings of. So, I'm not like too upset about it because even if it does go higher, I still make money on spot holdings. It's not going to be like a ton of money, but it's it's, you know, it's a holding that, you know, I probably have like 5% of everything that I own into hype, which, you know, probably some decent money if it gets back into like the 50s and the 60s, which is the ideal behind it. But from a trading load from time frame perspective, yeah, it's it's yeah dot USDT. No, it's not. I mean, it's not bad. Dot does not look terrible here. Look, again, we're going to throw our normal scenario on it of just highs and lows, support, resistance. You could just use this as a deviation here. Um, yeah. I mean, we're still just sitting at premium prices. As far from a trading technical two-hour standpoint, I'd probably be interested in DOT maybe at like 135 in this area at discounted prices. So, I think there's better I think there's better scenarios and there's better setups out there. Telling you, Doge is going to rip, guys. Telling you, Doge is going to rip. Don't be surprised. That is why I'm long Doge. It is holding up. We're long. We're now long Bio, whatever the hell this is, but I I'll take it. I think it's a great risk-reward setup. Um, it could take some time, but hey, at the end of the day, I got nothing but time and patience in this game.

Um, when you are learning stages, would you focus more on BTC and ETH and mastering them, or do you recommend learning on altcoins as well? Well, if you were learning on altcoins the past year and a half, it was probably the worst decision you could have made. That's just the unfortunate reality. I think altcoins are now starting to turn a little bit. And sure, I think you could put a little bit of focus on altcoins, but it's always going to be the big wigs. It's I'm such a crypto major guy. Like I I love trading Bitcoin and Ethereum. There was a time there, especially like in October, November, where I was trading altcoins and I was getting smoked a little bit, right? It wasn't like I was losing all my money, but like the trading account challenge just was not going well. Flipping into altcoins. I think now five months down the line, okay, altcoins are getting a little bit more better to start focusing on. Um, but yeah, I think the main focus is should be BTC and Ethereum. But beware because right now BTC and Ethereum are very slow and altcoins are kind of popping off, which is why I kind of said at the beginning of this chat over here, really think altcoins start to rally soon. BTC and ETH just chilling. More interest flowing back into crypto. Thinking altcoins can get a go soon. So, it just depends. It depends on the environment. I think that's a good question. I think that you should always be aware of what's happening within BTC and Ethereum to position yourself on altcoins. But yeah, like I I like focusing on BTC and ETH a lot, but uh you know, right now I am kind of shifting focus to altcoins because they've been performing well. I mean, think about it. Just from my own trading performance, guys, we have captured big wins on ZRO. We have captured big wins on Trador. We have captured big wins on River, right? We have captured big wins on AIA. They've all been altcoins. We've also captured some really big wins on BTC and Ethereum, too. But use that as a gauge to what you should focus on. BTC and ETH are a little bit slow right now. Altcoins are popping off. I'm jumping into random plays that my buddy here, what's his name? the man is telling me about that. I didn't even know. I had no idea what AIA was. This is when times can get fun. I'm telling you, when everything shreds, when random starts to go higher, when altcoins start to put in those multiples, this is when gets fun in crypto. And it's kind of coming back. I I'm not saying we're fully back and fully immersed into that environment yet, but it's we're getting very small glimpses of it while BTC and Ethereum are off 50% and 60% off their highs. So, any other altcoins, guys? I'm probably going to end it here. I'm going to go and watch this game that my dad is in back home. It is halftime right now. They are down nine points. We need them to come back and we need them to win this game. Um, halftime. They got a minute left until it starts. So, I am going to go and watch that game actually if there's no more questions, nothing else going on. Thank you guys so much for another live stream. Castillo Trading coming to you with another great session of talking about cryptocurrency, talking about Bitcoin, talking about Ethereum. We are now in a new trade, guys. Bio, whatever the hell Bio is, but I like the setup. I like where the risk is. I like the stop. I like the risk-to-reward on this. We're looking at about a 6% move to the downside with the risk and about a 95% reward to the upside. We may need a little bit of patience with it, but I'm still long on other too. I'm still long Doge. I'm still long WorldFi. I'm still long Trador. I am still long ZRO and AIA. We are putting in the work. If these all hit for 100% banger, that account will be above 30K in no time at about a 20 or about a 200% increase in about two weeks. So, that's pretty substantial in my opinion, which is also an indication to me that the cryptocurrency markets are actually coming back. But thank you guys so much for another VIP live stream.
