    MBT Micro Bitcoin futures trading - key parameters


    margin requirement US$3.5K / LOT

    1 tick = 5 points = US$0.50

    risk per lot : 40 ticks = US$20 <<< this ought to be
    reduced when liquidity improves.

    volume charts: 10V and 30V

    volume traded is rather low.
    as time goes by, the parameters have to be adjusted.

    MBT 4 May post mortem / reverse engineering / hindsight analysis

    up @903am, Asian session
    max reward risk ratio 7:1

    down @ 909pm, US session
    max RR ratio 6:1

    Trendiness : quite bad

    bid-offer spread : extremely bad


    volume was very pathetic.
    let's see if it will improve.

    The above posting is for 3 May.

    Lately Asian and European index futures are very trendy.

    sigh .... Micro btc futures volume is very pathetic.

    The hell cares about volume. I am seeing tremendous potential in it. It's volume on it's first day seems to have exceeded the BTC big boy future.

    And MBT initial margin is close to MNQ initial. Once I get more historical data on it, will be able to get a better handle on it.

    I am sure the volume will pick up.

    I remembered then Russell 2000 was listed in CME, the volume
    only picked up a few weeks later.

    MBT 4 May post mortem / reverse engineering / hindsight analysis

    down @835a Asian session

    down @1002p US session

    again no signal during the European session

    Trendiness : quite bad

    bid-offer spread : extremely extremely bad

    So MBT not suitable for day trading.


    let's see if it will improve a few weeks later.

    Dude, I can see this thing being the biggest micro launch since the micro equity indices 2 years ago. Every Tom, Dick and Harry wants a low barrier to entry into Crypto. Well, here it is.

    down @835a Asian session
    entry price 56800
    stop loss : 57100

    down @1002p US session
    entry price 55400
    stop loss : 55700



    exit?
    No way to tell how far the price will go (or whether the trade will be successful).

    Let's say we trade with 3 lots (or multiple of 3s).
    1stlot - perhaps target a small decent Reward risk ratio of ~3:1
    3rd lot - hold it for a very long time to stretch the RR ratio
    2nd lot - TP somewhere in between


    as mentioned, it is still not a good time to day-trade MBT.
    Let the swing traders and investors profit from it.

    MBT Micro Bitcoin futures trading - key parameters
    updated

    margin requirement US$2K / LOT

    1 tick = 5 points = US$0.50

    risk per lot : 40 ticks = US$20 <<< this ought to be
    reduced when liquidity improves.

    volume charts: 15 and 45V


    chart style : Heiken Ashi candles


    OK. I am ready to trade MBT.

    with such a bad bid-offer spread, quantity traded has to be reduced.
