DJI (Wall Street): Pattern in the chaos.In this chart I show a tight summary of what's been happening with the DJI (Wall Street). I apply the theory of curves. It shows weakening momentum in its north side drive.
I refer to just a handful of fundamental issues for both the bulls and the bears . In recent times various forms of 'stimulus' has kept this market afloat. Then in the last 2 weeks, hope and greed surrounding the Consolidated Appropriations Bill 2021, gave some life but volatility in the market.
This evening (2020-20-23), there is nervousness because the Bill was referred to by POTUS as "a disgrace". That is a real cause for nervousness because POTUS has snookered himself i.e. if he doesn't veto the Bill. This is a matter of law and politics but entirely relevant to market volatility. I take no sides. All I know is that there is money to be made (and lost), wherever there is volatility.
But anything is possible, they say in these markets.
It's probable that price can move up as well as it can correct down. The main job of a trader is not be to right, but to limit how wrong s/he might be with controlled affordable losses. The other nice part of the job is letting winning positions run when the market is in his/her favour.
It's so simple - but NOT easy, obviously. 😄

How I've traded Netflix this year. Morning traders.
I just wanted to share how I've traded Netflix this year with the script I am using and the results I've gotten.
Traded netflix only on an account with a well known CFD provider. £200 deposited and 76% gains on investments since March risking 1% per trade.
This information is all provided by the back test data screen shot at bottom of the screen.
As you will see from the idea screen I have provided details of how the script prompts me when to enter the market.
I simply enter the market set my stop loss and take profit targets and let the trade play out. That easy!
All the back test data backs the strategy up and takes away all the emotion of trading. Something we all struggle with as traders.
Once the trade has played out I simply wait for the next signal alert and go again.
This particular example is working the H1 and the example is taken from back in June and July.
Currently I am in a live long position on this chart as we speak. So we will see how that plays out.
For any more information on the script I am using please message me.
Paper Trading on TradingView: 3 Simple StepsI’m Markus Heitkoetter and I’ve been an active trader for over 20 years.
I often see people who start trading and expect their accounts to explode, based on promises and hype they see in ads and e-mails.
They start trading and realize it doesn’t work this way.
The purpose of these articles is to show you the trading strategies and tools that I personally use to trade my own account so that you can grow your own account systematically.
Real money…real trades.
If you are brand new to trading and haven’t yet used a paper trading simulator, you should.
Some people won’t use a paper trading simulator when they are first getting started because they don’t feel like it’s an accurate representation of the real markets.
They’re right to an extent. You’re not risking real money, so you’re not going to experience the emotions that come along with it just trading in a simulator.
Even with that said, I’m still a huge fan of trading simulators. Think about it, when pilots are training, before they are able to actually fly, they spend hours and hours on the ground training in a simulator.
Why Should I Paper Trade?
There are two main reasons I want to show you how to use TradingView paper trading as a stock market simulator.
1) You want to test your trading strategy. A solid trading strategy has three elements to it:
- Knowing what to trade. Are you trading stocks or options?
- Knowing when to enter.
- Knowing when to exit, at either a profit or a loss.
These are the main elements of any solid trading strategy, and it doesn’t matter what strategy you’re trading.
It could be a strategy like the PowerX Strategy or The Wheel, it doesn’t really matter.
You want to make sure that the strategy actually works which is why you want to test it to make sure that you understand the rules so that you’re not making any mistakes.
If you are making mistakes, it’s better to find out when you’re not risking real money.
2) The second reason why you should trade on a simulator first? To gain confidence.
Whenever you have a new strategy, you might be wondering if it actually works right?
This is why when you use a simulator to test your strategy and you see that it works, you get more confidence because now you get some actual numbers.
So you will know your winning percentage, your average profit, your average loss, and other important numbers.
Setting Up TradingView To Paper Trade
TradingView is a free tool that you can use as a simulator, and you may already be familiar with it already. I use it a lot.
So here is a step by step walk-through for how you can use TradingView as a simulator.
1) Step one. You need to connect paper trading, and in order to do this, you go to the “Trading Panel” tab at the bottom.
Once you bring it up, you can choose your broker and log into your brokerage account.
On the very left side, you see “Paper Trading.” Click that.
2) Step two. You want to reset your account. You might be wondering,
“Why should I reset my account? I haven’t done anything yet.”
This is because your account will start you off with $100,000 by default.
This may be a fun fantasy, but maybe not exactly your trading account size.
It is very important that you mirror the size of your paper trading account with your real trading account.
So, therefore, you click on the gear icon that will show on the right-hand side, and then in the dropdown menu, you see “Reset Paper Trading Account.”
Once you click that, it will prompt you to input your desired starting balance.
So if you are planning to start with $10,000 in your real trading account, start with $10,000 in your paper trading account.
If you are starting out with an account of $20,000, enter that instead.
You get the idea. Then just hit “Reset.”
3) Step three. You will have to adjust a few settings and before I walk you through an actual order.
Right mouse click anywhere on the screen in your charts.
In the menu, you will see the fourth item down is “Trade.”
Go ahead and click on “Trade” then click on “Create New Order.”
When you click on Create New Order, you have an order ticket appearing on the right-hand side of your chart.
You will also see a gear icon.
Click the icon to change the settings, and these are the settings that I personally use, so I highly recommend these.
- Uncheck “Show Order Price In Ticks.”
- Check “Show Quantity In US Dollar Risk”
- Uncheck “Show Quantity In Percent Risk.”
- Check “Show TP/SL Inputs In USD,” (that’s Target Profit & Stop Loss).
- Uncheck “Show TP/SL Inputs In %.”
OK, so this is the basic settings in order to use the simulator.
Now let me show you exactly how to use it in conjunction with the PowerX Optimizer.
Using TradingView With The PowerX Optimizer
The PowerX Optimizer is a tool that I personally use to scan for stocks to trade.
When the stocks come up on the list I quickly go through the list and I’ll look for stocks that have no gaps, good upside/downside trend-ability, and I want to see a nice P&L chart.
Let’s pretend the PXO pulled up the stock PLUG as a recommended stock, and use it as an example.
Now, remember what I said about how a trading strategy should tell you three things.
It should tell you what to trade when to enter, and when to exit. This is exactly what PowerX Optimizer does.
Now here is how to use TradingView’s paper trading simulator in conjunction with PowerX Optimizer.
The PowerX Optimizer will show you how many stocks to trade based on your account size, when we want to enter, and when we want to exit.
What you want to do in TradingView to fill in the quantity and where exactly we want to enter.
And according to PowerX Optimizer, we want to buy, but we don’t want to buy it at the market price, we want to buy it when it reaches the “Buy To Open” price in the data window on the upper right.
Let’s just use the price of $18.89 as a place holder for this example.
Let’s also assume it suggests buying 55 shares based on the account size.
And then we can also specify our profit target and our stop loss.
Now PowerX Optimizer will give you a the profit target in the “Data Window,” lets say for $26.63.
We can then also specify a stop loss, and PowerX Optimizer tells us when to get out of this position with a loss.
For this let’s use $15.26.
So according to the PowerX Optimizer, with our $10,000 account, we would risk $199, almost $200 trying to make $425.
So our risk-reward ratio, as you can see here in PowerX Optimizer is 1:2.13, also seen in the “Data Window.”
So then all you need to do is click on “Buy Nasdaq” after you’ve entered all this in TradingView.
Remember, this is not being executed as your broker.
This is a simulator. So you don’t make and you don’t lose any money.
This is for testing your trading strategy and gaining confidence.
So let’s just say buy and you see the order is sent right now.
Once the order is placed you will now have one position and two orders in the market.
Those orders are a sell limit order for our profit target, and a sell stop order for our stop loss.
So as you can see, it is super easy to use this simulator here in conjunction with PowerX Optimizer.
You can now change the orders that you do have in the market here, so you can change them to a different price by clicking the little edit sign you will see on the right hand side.
So you see exactly what you have right now, what you bought, you have the working orders, you have the filled orders here and now, if you would change any working orders, for example, if you want to change your stop loss, you just click on the edit here and change it to any value that you want.
By the way, the right way to move your stop loss is always closer to your entry price, never away. Never, ever give a trade more room, it usually ends in disaster.
Summary
So this is how this trading simulator works. First of all, why do you need a simulator?
It is just to first test your trading strategy to see if you understand the rules, and to see if the trading strategy works.
Finding all this out will gain your confidence, all with no risk.
You can set up your TradingView account for paper trading in three easy steps:
1) You connect the paper trading account.
2) You reset it to the account size that you are planning to trade.
3) You modify the order settings.
Very simple. Then you just pick any stock that you want.
The best thing is, is it’s free.
I highly recommend that you do this. You literally have nothing to lose.
How i know what stock have a good future in a crisis - TutorialHello,
Some people asked in Telegram / PM how i know what stock will go up and which one should them short or long.
I made a list about the different sectors of SPX 500 if its needed to go bear or bull on it.
After you choose the sector you need to check the ADX of the coorporation, it need to be strong and always remember to chose the strongest coorporations of the sector that you selected.

Part 2: Narrowing in on specific high quality companiesWhich companiesc have the highest probability to succeed?
HSI Shake&Bake PA setupLooking forward for further decline in Hang Seng Index.
Let's shake it and bake summer low!
AMZN AMAZON Potential shorting opportunity When certain stocks have unfilled/un-traded areas (gaps) in the market, often the market going to revisit those areas later on. So these are areas can be targets for your trades.
But in order to target those areas, we need a reason to get in. The most profitable/common method is waiting till the market exhaust and put a reversal signal.
AMAZON is most likely to make a end to the BULL run and head back to fill those unfilled areas in the market.
So waiting for a strong reversal signal or make another higher high with confluence to get SHORT.
Good Luck Trading
Correlation continuesBitcoin and the stock market continues to correlate as news this morning started to cause markets to sell-off, which has resulted so far in a drop in Bitcoin shortly after.
We have to continue to keep an eye on this because they have been following each other closely.
Thanks guys
