## Additional Tips
1\. Try to avoid signals with a current "Risky" Performance Grade.
2\. Do not enter a trade if it has already reached TP2+.
3\. **IMPORTANT!** Try to avoid signals that do not follow the trend, or enter them with a smaller deposit. If Bitcoin is in a **bullish** trend, then give preference to **longs** rather than shorts, and vice versa.
4\. Do not try to win back/add more contracts/disable stops/enter again with a larger deposit after an unsuccessful signal.
This is called the **"tilt"** mindset. Being tilted is a person's state of mind that is triggered by overwhelming emotions from winning or losing. A person cannot control the situation when they are tilted and makes risky decisions instead of deliberate ones – as a result, they **make many mistakes**.
Strong emotions that overwhelm the person's mind forces them to act inadequately: to change the style of play to the riskiest one, which may turn out to be a good decision, of course, but leads to a **crushing defeat** more so than often.
If you find yourself having a "tilted" mind, just take a break and don’t trade for a couple of hours/days/weeks.
5\. If a series of signals have already been posted after another Bitcoin drop – for example, for a short, – and most strategies are **already** in good profit, then any further signals for a short should be avoided, because the correction is most likely **already over**, and there will be a **rebound** soon. In other words, it is better to expect opposite signals for a long. The same strategy above applies to a long.
\- Always do your analysis. It is beneficial to rely on the indicator, but conducting research and analysis is highly recommended.\
\- It is recommended to use only 1-3% of your capital per trade. \
\- You can open several tabs in the browser and select a specific strategy in each tab. For example, one tab for the BTC strategy, another one for BCH, and the third one for EOS.
