Recently, a friend of mine was complaining that trading DUSK contracts feels like riding a roller coaster. Daily fluctuations exceeding 15% are the norm. If you’re not careful with position management, even if you correctly predict the trend, you can easily be stopped out during sharp intra-day swings. This coin’s volatility has been consistently high, currently around 49%, making it a true “monster coin.”

In such a market environment, traditional buy-and-hold or daily chart-based strategies are basically ineffective. To survive here, you must change your approach—shift from trusting the big trend to volatility arbitrage, from aiming for maximum profit on a single trade to maintaining stability and staying in the game. This might sound conservative, but with coins like DUSK, lasting longer is indeed more important than making a quick profit.

So, how to adjust? First, shorten your trading cycle and completely abandon the idea of holding positions on timeframes above daily. Focus your main efforts on 15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour charts. Also, change your goals—don’t expect to capture the entire trend in one trade, which is basically impossible on DUSK. Instead, aim to steadily capture the relatively stable portion of profits within a clear wave.

For example, on a 1-hour chart, when the RSI bounces back from the oversold zone (below 30) while the price touches the lower Bollinger Band, that’s a good long entry signal. Conversely, when the price hits the upper band or RSI enters the overbought zone (above 70), it’s time to take profits. This rhythm makes trading more disciplined, and each trade’s risk becomes more manageable.
