Master Your Emotions: The 3 Trading Psychology Hacks Most traders don’t struggle because they lack a strategy—they struggle because emotions get in the way. After coaching hundreds of traders, I’ve seen the same patterns over and over: hesitation, FOMO, revenge trading, and self-doubt.
I get it. I’ve been there too. You see the perfect setup but hesitate. Or worse, you jump in too late and watch the market turn against you. It’s frustrating, but there’s a fix.
In this video, I’m breaking down the biggest trading psychology mistake I see and the simple 3-step process that has helped my students trade with confidence, even in the most volatile markets.
If you’ve ever felt like your emotions are sabotaging your trades, this is for you. Let’s fix it.

That's the Way the Bitcoin TumblesWhy I Think the Sell-Off Isn’t Over Yet
Bitcoin is already in the middle of a sharp sell-off, but at least half the market seems convinced the worst is over and that a recovery is underway. I don’t see it that way. Bitcoin has been grinding sideways into the Bollinger Bands on the weekly chart, and now that it’s finally colliding with the basis lines, I think it’s about to plunge straight through them. This doesn’t look like a market that’s ready to bounce—it looks like one that’s about to take another leg down. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m early, but in my experience, when people start celebrating too soon, things tend to get a whole lot worse.

BTC Bitcoin - Upside Likely THIS WEEK (Thanks Retail Liquidity)Here's a challenge for you:
How many places of built-up liquidity can you spot on this chart that indicated where price is heading to...?
Post your chart below.
Admittedly this isn't the easiest environment to trade in, but still the clues are there.
Plus: DXY Dollar is weak for now, so XXXUSD seem more likely to be Bullish.
Now we stalk it and wait to see the flip to the Upside (if it happens). The invalidation point is the clear last Wick low.
There could be more opportunities later to scale in.
------------------
Are you seeing price action here the same as I am?
If not, comment below and tell me if I'm missing something...
SPY: 1000 day ema, the value investors friend.The sp500 has touched and held many times at the 1000 day exponential moving average, and it coincides with the average 15-16 price to earnings ratio of the sp500.
While the 200 day moving average is more widely followed, the 1000 day is significant once the 200 day is breached. The 1000 day is also known as the 200 week moving average.
For value investors, the charts alone dont give the full story. And using moving averages alone is not enough to fully judge value. But I have found that using the 1000 day ema as a quick test has helped find many fantastic buying opportunities, after doing further homework of course.
I am not recommending shorts or saying we will sell off hard. I do say that If it was at the 1000 ema, I would be more interest in going long and with more conviction. What we are seeing now is closer to the beginning of market taking profits than to a significant entry point.
As shown, the sp500 Earnings yield is very wimpy, in the 3% range. No wonder Warren Buffett at Berkshire keeps raising cash. We would be wise to track Earnings yields and wait for better opportunities, which should correlate with the 1000 day ema, in my opinion.
Tesla - The Failed All Time High Breakout!Tesla ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) will reject the all time high first:
Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
Tesla was actually not able to create a sustainable all time high breakout and if a stock doesn't move up, it will come down. However Tesla still remains absolutely bullish and is now starting to create a textbook break and retest which will eventually still lead to new all time highs.
Levels to watch: $400, $280
Keep your long term vision,

SMCI - Play of the year!Correction - I made the last video on this SMCI opportunity two months ago in mid-December stating "Golden opportunity right in front of us?". And I was just thinking - is this too obvious? Clearly it was and I'm glad I took advantage. This was the most educated gamble of all time! Was worth every penny that could have been lost.
From here, I expect similar movement after sufficient liquidity is built in a controlled manner. Not rushing into another position here until I see certain levels and algorithms in play - But the breakout of our HTF selling channel is a great start and now would love to see ourselves build controlled liquidity prior to another breakout!
Happy Trading :)
BTC & Crypto Update - Exactly as I laid out a month ago! Here's what we're looking at in the near term. I know it stinks that we have to come down before sky rocketing again - but eventually we all knew liquidity would have to be built on cryptos, especially BTC, and that's what we're seeing now. We're ultimately bullish! These are bullish algorithms! But we need to build controlled liquidity in these algorithms to sustain further movements and breakouts to the upside.
Happy Trading :)
SOLUSD: How to Draw Quarter's Theory LevelsApplying Quarter’s Theory to SOL/USD helps traders identify key psychological price levels where institutional players might step in. With Solana’s volatility, these quarter levels (25%, 50%, 75%, and full dollar increments) act as crucial areas for potential reversals or breakouts.
Current Market Outlook
SOL/USD is currently trading around a major quarter level, signaling a potential shift in momentum. If buyers push above $150, the next logical upside target is $175, while a breakdown could send prices back to $125—both key quarter points.
How to Trade It
Aggressive traders can enter at quarter levels with tight stops, aiming for quick price movements.
Conservative traders should wait for a breakout confirmation and a retest before executing trades.
Renko charts can help filter noise and confirm trend strength, making it easier to spot clean setups.
Is SOL/USD Gearing Up for a Big Move?
With SOL/USD sitting at a crucial level, the next move could be significant. Will we see a drop toward $125, or is a deeper pullback coming? What’s your take? Drop a comment below!

US30Price gave us a Double Top structure and I am now anticipating price to be bearish. Price has moved impulsively to the downside and I am now looking for a bigger correction to form because price is at the amber zone(Orange), so it is likely riskier if a smaller correction is formed because it will tend to be a trap and create a big correction.
MINDSET: Trading is The Only True Path to Financial FreedomFinancial freedom—it’s the goal everyone chases but few ever reach. The world sells you a million ways to get rich: grinding a 9-to-5, climbing the corporate ladder, starting a business, investing in real estate. But the truth? Trading is the only path that offers complete financial autonomy. No bosses, no employees, no overhead—just you, the markets, and the ability to scale your wealth indefinitely.
The Illusion of Traditional Wealth-Building
People spend decades in careers that leave them dependent on someone else’s paycheck. Even business owners and investors face external risks—regulations, economic downturns, and unpredictable market shifts that limit their control.
Trading, however, is a pure meritocracy. The market doesn’t care about your background, degrees, or connections. It rewards skill, discipline, and adaptability.
Why Trading Stands Alone
Unlimited Earning Potential – Unlike a job, where your salary is capped, trading offers the ability to scale indefinitely.
Complete Time Freedom – Once profitable, you decide when and how much you work. A few well-placed trades can replace weeks of grinding at a traditional job.
No Middlemen – You don’t need clients, customers, or employees. Your success is fully in your hands.
Geographical Independence – As long as you have an internet connection, you can trade from anywhere in the world.
The Harsh Reality: Trading Isn’t Easy
Now, let’s be real—most traders fail because they treat it like a lottery ticket instead of a skill.
They chase signals, blow accounts, and then blame the markets. But those who master the psychological and technical aspects of trading gain something no job or business can provide: total financial sovereignty.
Are You Ready to Take Control?
Trading is the only financial vehicle where you set the rules and have the power to create generational wealth—without relying on an employer, a system, or a customer base.
The real question is: Are you willing to put in the work to claim that freedom?
Let’s talk in the comments.

XRP Ripple - Going Higher Now? Swing Divergence with BTCThis is a top down idea from the HTF
M > W > D1 > H4 charts
All the clues of the price action are indicating higher prices on crypto - explanation in video.
One thing I didn't mention is that we also have a weak DXY (Dollar) so that adds to the idea of strength in XXXUSD pairs.
Reasons for choosing XRP over BTC is that XRP created a higher low, indicating more strength than BTC.
Entry on LTF is dependent on a pullback to get a cheaper price.
Entry on HTF is more flexible.
Comment below if you have any questions. I read everything.

• Formed a lower high, indicating seller control.
🔸 H1 Timeframe:
• Entry confirmation: Lower high + structure break + retest.
• Current Position: Short trade floating +142 pips in profit.

🎯 Next Targets & Key Levels:
✅ Target 1: Sweep 7040 low.
✅ Target 2: Potential drop to 7026 if momentum continues.
⏳ Crucial Confirmation Needed:
• If today’s bearish candle closes above average, it will confirm a true lower high and increase chances of breaking consolidation to move lower.
🛠 Trade Management:
• Profits taken at: +30 pips, +60 pips, +100 pips.
• Current floating: +142 pips.
• Overall target: +212 pips (1:5 / 1:6 RR).

AUD/USD: Smart Money Loading Up or Another Trap?AUD/USD – Bullish Momentum or Liquidity Grab?
Technical Breakdown:
The Australian Dollar vs. US Dollar (AUD/USD) is showing an interesting setup, with price action hinting at potential continuation to the upside. Let’s dive into the analysis across multiple timeframes to see if buyers are in control or if we’re facing another liquidity trap.
Weekly Timeframe:
• AUD/USD experienced a strong bearish move after reaching 0.6938 in September 2024, followed by a relentless downtrend to 0.6085 by mid-November.
• Since then, we’ve seen a three-week bullish push off the lows, suggesting a potential shift in sentiment.
• A higher low has been established, but the key question remains: Will buyers maintain control?
Daily Timeframe:
• A structural break above 0.6311 signals bullish intent.
• The market previously swept early buyers, forming a double bottom, before pushing back above resistance.
• Current price action is retesting this level, potentially building liquidity for the next leg up.
H4 Timeframe (Trade Execution Level):
• Price printed a higher low at 0.6371, and bullish momentum is attempting to reclaim the recent highs.
• A strong bearish retracement provided a potential early buy entry, setting up a high reward-to-risk trade.
• If price holds above the 0.6359 entry zone, we could see further upside targets.
Entry & Risk Management:
• Entry: 0.6359
• Stop Loss: 0.6371 (tight 5-pip stop)
• First Target: 0.6408 (1:6 RR)
• Final Target: 0.6446 (1:9-1:10 RR)
Market Psychology & Liquidity Play:
• Many traders chased the highs and placed stop losses below local support—these were swept out.
• A large bullish volume candle remains significant, hinting at strength in buyers.
• If the market sustains momentum, we could see a move toward higher resistance at 0.6446.
Conclusion:
AUD/USD is setting up for a potential bullish breakout, but traders must watch for confirmations on lower timeframes. If price structure holds, this could be a highly profitable swing trade.

EURUSD Analysis... and MORE!Here is some analysis on EURUSD, USDCHF, and a couple of other things.
I'm expecting higher prices on EURUSD and likewise some lower prices on USDCHF. I've already entered some positions, but there may be opportunities for more re-entries down the road as we may have some days or weeks to get to my targets.
I use ICT concepts along with my own revelations. I hope you find it useful.
Happy trading.

Celsius Stock is a fast grower at a good priceCELH is a high growth stock that has finally found a fair price.
It has a popular brand and is now available everywhere, including costco.
Pepsi is partnering with them.
Now that its down 75%, it on my radar as a fairly price high growth stock.
so what, what can I expect.
What Im hoping when I get a grower, is 20-40% per year.
I covered Palantir when it was under 10, and now its over 100 only 2 years later, a 10x.
Could that happen here, I have no idea.
All we can do is look for good value and reduce our risk by finding quality.
Cheers.
FileCoin Rapid Move in Progress—Key Levels to Watch, 27%+ gainsIn this video, I analyze the ongoing price action of CRYPTO:FILUSD (Filecoin) as it makes a strong move upward, confirming a pattern I’ve been tracking for a while. This is one of those high-momentum setups where price is moving aggressively, and I outline both the expected pullback zones and the next key resistance areas.
(And also as always, the potential value and price target for this coin are probably much higher than I suggest in this video… In all of my analyses, I am almost always finding for you the first place that price is likely to turn around in a swing trade scenario… I am a short term guy and that's where my head is at, so be advised forever and from now on.
I certainly believe this will go much much higher in the longer term.)
Based on the Bollinger Bands setup across multiple timeframes, price is currently pushing through key liquidity areas, and a short-term retracement is expected before continuation. My analysis suggests buy zones around $3.43 and $3.35, with a projected target near $4.36-$4.37 where price is likely to stall.
Key Market Observations & Trade Setup
🔹 Current Market Structure & Momentum
CRYPTO:FILUSD is making a strong push upward, already breaking through key moving averages.
Liquidity bands indicate significant order activity, confirming a powerful move.
Volume is already surpassing previous daily bars—suggesting sustained momentum throughout the day.
🔹 Expected Pullback Zones & Buy Opportunities
Price is likely to retrace to $3.43-$3.35 before continuing higher.
Bollinger Bands alignment confirms that this is where price should stabilize.
If price dips below $3.35, further downside is unlikely, and it would likely wick before resuming upward.
🔹 Projected Target & Resistance
$4.36-$4.37 is the next key resistance area where price is expected to stall.
This aligns with previous price action and liquidity zones, reinforcing its importance.
Any move beyond this level would require a significant breakout confirmation.
🔹 Psychological Barriers & Market Conditions
The $3.50 level is a psychological barrier, and price initially struggled to break it.
Given this structure, the most probable move is a slight retracement before another push higher.
Broader market conditions and volume trends support further upside in the short term.
Final Thoughts
COINBASE:FILUSD is in the middle of an expected rapid movement, and the next pullback zones should provide an opportunity for those looking to enter. My expectation remains that price will move up toward $4.36-$4.37 after retesting support in the $3.43-$3.35 region.
I’ll continue monitoring this move—trade smart and be ready for volatility! 🚀
