Beyond Technical Analysis
Valuation is truth: stocks vs gold and stocks + goldWe live in a dollar matrix, a world we can feel but have trouble understanding.
We have learned that things go up over time, but we don't know why.
Why do things go up and sometimes also go down.
Valuation is a lie detector.
We should seek truth.
Stocks dont always go straight up.
Gold is just scare shiny rock.
Dollars are debt instruments and promises for money.

3 Things To Do After You Lose A TradeWe have all been there. You analyze a trade setup. You know how much you're going to risk on a trade. You enter the trade just to come back to your chart and find you've been stopped out.
It's not fun. It sucks. You thought the setup would work because you followed you rules. The thing is, the market is the market.
In my early stages of trading I hated being stopped out. My reasoning was because. I had no idea how to make up for my loss.
I thought if I just plotted more lines and levels on my chart I could enter the trade again and make my money back.
The problem I kept running into was I had no idea why I lost the trade or how to handle my feelings. I also had no real plan on how to adjust to the price change.
I honestly thought my levels or trend lines didn't work. It was deeper than that.
What changed?
I had to change the way I viewed the market and my next steps to recover my loss. Not only that, I had to learn how to be "ok" with losing money.
I created a 3 Step Process that would increase my probability of winning my next trade. Because we are a trading family, I thought I'd share it with you.
Step 1: Access my previous trade
You hear this all the time, "I made a mistake thats why I lost the trade." The true question is did you really make a mistake or did you follow your trading rules?
When I follow my rules no mistakes are made. When I lose a trade that can mean 1 thing. The market reversed. This leads me to step 2.
Step 2: Change my bias
In the book The Unknown Market Wizards by Jack Schwager, I heard the most beautiful and profound statement by one of the wizard traders. He said, "I realized I have a right to change my mind about my trade at any time."
I can't tell you how that made me feel. I've been doing that all along, but this market wizard summed up my actions in just one sentence.
When I'm stopped out that means I have to change my mid about the direction of the trade. I made being stopped out so simple so I won't confuse the next action I should take. That leads me to step 3, update my chart and adapt to the new price movement.
Step 3: Update and Adapt
I have a no nonsense rule and that is to stop trading in 1 direction if I'm stopped out. Go opposite. I'm a true trend trader. I don't naturally trade against the trend. It gets me in trouble.
So at the first sign of trouble, I adapt.
See, USDCHF was in a downtrend.
I sold the trade at 0.92835( sell limit) and overnight I was stopped out. It happened so fast and just as fast as I was stopped out, I knew I had to become the buyer.
My Mental
In the recent past, being stopped out would have spooked me. Now, its making me want to come back to the charts to face my fear. I used to have a fear of success and failure. Now I have a hunger to want to succeed and learn.
Putting on trades is a bit more fun since I've began working with pending orders. They challenge me. Especially in situations when price reverses and I'm stopped out.
I pray you gained new insight and a key takeaway on what you can do next after you lose a trade.
Just remember, losing a trade doesn't make you a loser, it makes you a trader.
Comment down below what your takeaway was. I'd appreciate it if you could like the post. It helps boost my Trading view reputation. Much love,

Best investing advice to myself if the financial panic comesIve seen this movie before, and I love thats its playing again. The economy goes through cycles and its rhyming like other times. Its never the same, lets be clear about that. But expensive things get cheaper when the economy slows down because people will need their money for the hard times that may come. Its that simple.
Learning to read financial statements and metrics is like learning your ABCs but for investing. Trading off a chart is good, but learning what is behind the chart will help in uncertainty. "deep faith eliminates fear". The chart wont tell you if a company is losing money or if there are more assets than the marketcap is reflecting.
Buy decade growers for the best deal you can, and let them work. Best advice to myself. see you in 20 years.
Educational Options Video Strangle v Capped Strangle Jade LizardConceptual view of how to trade non directional or semi directionally using strangles and capped strangles, also known as Jade Lizard option spreads.
Non directional option trades attempt to benefit from sideways markets or markets where options are are pricing more implied movement than is realized in the underlying asset.
Combing a vertical on top with a cash secured put on bottom, creates a range trade. Selling on both sides for credits helps either reduce the cost of buying shares or creates income while the stock trades sideways without direction.

AUBONACCI GOLD TRADING SOFTWAREHello. In this video, I talk about what I use for Gold trading and also I talk about some of my discoveries including Market Mapping, Future Fibonacci and Gold Phases.
For this purpose, I have created software that calculates Pivot ( starting point ) because it is important to know where you start the counting from.
Hope this explains briefly what I am doing over here. Remember these are just tools and analysis, trading is the hard part that has to be mastered on its own and no software will help you there!
P.S don't ask for the software or anything regarding the info seen here. I don't teach people, I don't sell anything nor give anything out. So relax.
Cheers.
How to Adjust Your Stock Chart for Inflation, Dividends, and TaxUsing a pretty simple formula involving CPI , we can adjust the stock chart to show real returns instead of nominal returns. Real returns represent a more accurate picture of the return of the stock over time. In addition, we can easily adjust returns for dividends and estimated taxes.
Vertical Option Spreads for a bear market- a handy tool to haveEducational purposes only: if the bear market continues, one tool Im keeping available is bear vertical spreads. I dont want to go straight short the market, and buying high valuation is a no for me. So bear call spread might be worth a shot while waiting for bullish opportunities.

THIS WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY YOU TRADE ORDER BLOCKS FOREVER!There is so much about "ORDER BLOCKS" anymore.
"Smart money does this!" youtube videos are plentiful out there. "order block trading" videos are a dime a dozen. But there is never ever a clear explanation about what makes for a successful order block trade, and more importantly, you never know if an order block is going to be successful!!! Simply identifying an order block doesn't mean that price will reverse there.
That's where this trading strategy comes into play.
STOP GUESSING ABOUT WHERE PRICE WILL REVERSE! STOP GUESSING ABOUT WHICH ORDER BLOCK TO CHOOSE FROM! STOP GUESSING WHERE YOU CAN TAKE PROFIT FROM THOSE MOVES!
Guys, if this video doesn't dramatically improve the performance of your trades, I don't know what will.
I am NOT affiliated with Market Chameleon, there are other places where you can find the option information I'm talking about. As a matter of fact, ThinkOrSwim's platform is FREE, but you only get the day OF option sales information. You cannot go back in time and retrieve options sales for a different trading day.
Yes, it's unorthodox to use an optionable Bitcoin ETF to analyze Bitcoin..... But WHY NOT!? Institutional players don't just play in a single sandbox.
You can - (and should) do the same exact thing for optionable stocks.
