The #1 Essential

No need to keep you in suspense any longer! It’s all about trading news events. Let’s dive into the #1 essential. There’s more to it than meets the eye, and everything will be explained in full detail. You’ll be using pro.x.com to live-stream tweets from the fastest accounts delivering the latest crypto news. I’ll lay out exactly what you need to do to profitably trade these news events. Master this skill, and you could be in a position to make a ton of money..

Step by Step plan

1️⃣ Go to https://pro.x.com.

2️⃣ Use the "Create Lists" function. I recommend adding three types of lists:

• List 1: The absolute highest potential accounts.

• List 2: A broader selection of relevant sources.

• List 3: A narrative-based list (e.g., if the SEC cancels lawsuits, this should include all projects under investigation).

3️⃣ Download the latest version of the lists here
- Main essentials (last update 27th of March 2025) - Short list for those who want to put in low effort but focus on high potential only.
- Full essentials list (last update 27th of March 2025) - Full list that contains over 1,100 crypto X accounts to follow. For those who want a broad market overview and to spot opportunities others might miss. However, it is far more time-intensive.
- Top Crypto Projects (last update 27th of March 2025) - Contains the X accounts of some of the most popular crypto projects. A lot of messages here are not be tradable, however, in the right market setting, this is where big opportunities can arise though but not often.

Import these into the lists on X. These will be updated regularly, as the crypto space is always evolving but you’ll have instant access to high profile crypto news reporting accounts and more. No need to figure this out yourself.

Why is this method of trading so powerful?

Crypto exchanges earn money through the fees you pay. Market makers profit from the spread. The lower the liquidity is, the better of a trader you’ll need to be to be able to be profitabe. The principle is simple: if you don’t trade, you can’t lose money—though in practice, this is difficult for many people. If there is no strong incentive to trade, you should avoid trading altogether.

Unlike professional traders, who have fixed monthly costs, you have no obligatory costs. This means you should only trade when the best possible opportunities arise.

The True Cost of Trading

Let’s say you go long 10 times a day with 10x leverage and close the trade 10 times for a total position size of $10,000.

• Exchange fees alone: $110+

• Market makers take the spread, increasing your costs further.

• If you repeat this 20 times a month, your total fees would be:

• And this doesn’t even include funding fees and spreads!

To break even, you would need to generate at least 22% in returns just to cover these costs. By reducing our trade frequency we can heavily safe on costs.

So, why trade at all?

You're competing against professionals, AI-driven algorithms, and an ecosystem designed to profit from your activity. The odds are stacked against you. Normally, there is simply no incentive to enter trades—unless you are among the best of the best.

The Key to Beating the Market

However, there are moments where trading opportunities provide a real edge—but only if:
✅ A) You have discipline
✅ B) You know how to act when real opportunities arise

Without these, the market will eat you alive. Choose your trades wisely.

These moments happen when news events have a significant impact on asset prices.

Consider this: You have funds in your trading account and only take trades where you estimate your odds of winning to be 80-90% or higher. There is no cost to sitting on the sidelines and waiting for only the biggest opportunities. In the 1-2-3 step method, I will explain how incredibly fast you could grow your trading account if you remain disciplined. It only takes a few well-executed trades to turn a small trading account into something substantial.

During news events, volume spikes, real trading takes place, and bigger players have less influence over price movements. Whether we go long or short on a news event depends on many factors. I’ll cover each step in the basic strategy section, as there are several scenarios. Sometimes, if you react very quickly to news with a big impact—for example, when XRP won its first lawsuit against the SEC—it could be an easy long. However, if you're 30 seconds late and the price has already spiked 15%, the situation changes. Each scenario requires a different approach and over market sentiment also plays a big role here. However, there is always an opportunity when volatility is present or has taken place.
