Beyond Technical Analysis
A Good Practice Destroys ItselfWe take on a discipline to do something we don't naturally do or want to do. We set some rules that will be uncomfortable and ride out the restless energy.
Keep in mind that a good practice destroys itself, the whole point of a discipline is to get to the point where we don't need the discipline anymore. That is called transformation and it takes time.
By being consistent with discipline over time, the reactionary impulses begin to die down and you will find yourself more balanced. This is where true intuition can begin to show up.
At some point, you might see where one of your strict rules doesn't make sense for a trade and if you come from a balanced mindset, you can make a commonsense decision about it.
This kind of thing is testable if you have an objective method. You test your intuitive results against the objective method results. This is all a one step forward, 2 step back kind of thing and takes time to develop. If you're in a rush, this tells you you're not balanced and need to keep the steady discipline.

The Wash and Rinse To See True Support/ResistanceTrue support and resistance is found in the meat of the move, not at the extreme highs and lows. To find it, Simply draw a zone or box and look for the place that price touches the most, and then pay attention to what happens afterward.
In this lesson, I set up a trade plan and show how a Wash and Rinse structure at the pivot of a swing uses the most touches to find true support in a market. I then show how to identify it.
The Wash and Rinse has a process that we can follow in real-time.
1. Multi-Pivot Line (MPL)
2. Zoom through the MPL
3. Come back and retest the MPL
4. Zoom back through the MPL the other way
What happens in this process, is that buyers are holding some level. Price then busts that level triggering stops and at the same time encouraging shorts to enter. Then price rips back up essentially cleaning the book of orders and showing where the true support is (at least for the time being).
Once you can recognize this structure, you can begin making your own observations and use these levels to read a market or begin to build a setup around it. The most important part is to learn to design a plan with objective rules around what you observe.

Tracking The Footprints of WRB GapsThis is the first in a series of posts on Gaps. Gaps are a sudden supply/demand imbalance that shows up in the price bars of a chart, It's the expansion that comes after a contraction. Gaps will show us a significant area of buyers/sellers that take control and when they lose that control.
In the video, I discuss and define a Wide Range Bar (WRB) Gap and show how to mark it out on a chart. A WRB Gap is a bar larger than the last 3 bars with a space between the previous bar and the subsequent bar. We will be marking the base of the gap. If it's an up Gap, mark out the bottom 1/3 of the bar, if it's a down gap, mark out the upper 1/3 of the bar.
We can then make observations about how price interacts with the base of this gap when or if it gets there. Then begin to notice where in the swing process the Gap is happening. Don't make conclusions, just observe and learn.
There are many ways to trade Gaps but first, we must first lay out some foundations and then come up with objective ways to see them. For now, simply look for the biggest ugliest bars on your chart and mark them out and observe. These are footprints that we can follow and track.

One-Line Practice: Set Yourself Aside and FollowIn this video, I set up a trading plan and introduce a trend line exercise you can practice in any market and in any time frame. There is no one right way to draw a trend line, it's a matter of function and what you are trying to see. We will be drawing a trend line off two relative (same size swings). This will identify the footprints of organized volatility on a chart.
This exercise is designed so that you can learn about markets and price flow in your own hand. Its objectives are:
1. Learn to isolate relative market structures.
2. Learn to set yourself aside and follow price no matter what price is doing.
3. Allow the practice and price flow to teach you.
We first need to make some objective swing definitions:
Confirmed Swing High/Low: A new high confirms a swing low and a new low confirms a swing high.
Balanced/Relative Swing: Same size reaction legs.
One Line Practice Instructions:
1. Identify two confirmed relative (same size reaction legs) swings.
2. Anchor a trend line at the two lows and make observations (not expectations) about how price interacts with the line.
3. Always follow the last two relative confirmed swings with the trend line.
4. Draw a box across the top of each swing and observe how price interacts with the boxes.
By identifying two same sized swings that confirmed new highs, we have found some organized volatility and behavior. We can then participate in that continued behavior or have a way to know when it changes.

Inflation Deflator & Make That Money Indicator Use & StrategyThis video showcases two custom TradingView indicators: Inflation Deflator & Make That Money.
Random chart. Random start. Replay.
I show how to best use these indicators and implement supply/demand zones for SL/TP.
HOW-TO: Trade-o-Scope Multi-Asset Price TrackerThis is a short HOW-TO on using the Trade-o-Scope "Multi-Asset Price Tracker" indicator
HOW-TO: Trade-o-Scope Highlight IntervalsThis is a short HOW-TO on using the Trade-o-Scope "Highlight Intervals" indicator
Support And Resistance Lines Are Not Real: Prove Me WrongIn this video, I draw random lines on the chart to prove a point. I think we need to ask ourselves the following questions to become better traders:
How will I define support and resistance consistently ?
How will I use support and resistance in my trading?
Do I need support and resistance in my trading?
Is support and resistance a reliable measure for markets?
Are the lines that I have been drawing for so long actually meaningful?
High Probability Trading Environments Part 2: Liquidity RunsIn this educational video, we'll explore the distinction between High Resistance Liquidity Runs and Low Resistance Liquidity Runs, crucial for identifying High Probability Trading Environments. Our analysis will focus on NAS100USD, providing insights into potential trading opportunities for the week ahead.
By understanding these concepts, you'll gain valuable insights into positioning yourself effectively in the market. Be sure to watch to gain a comprehensive understanding of the key confluences that contribute to successful trading strategies.

Gaps and How Markets Move In Contraction and ExpansionThere are several ways to trade gaps but first, there should be a solid understanding of what Gaps are and how they show up. Markets aren't that hard to read if we have some simple ways to see them that adhere to the principles of movement.
All markets move in contraction and expansion. A Gap is the sudden supply/demand imbalance that comes out of the contraction and shows up as the expansion. These expansions can even be used to measure how far the next expansion will go.
Start with a simple bar chart and erase everything else off the chart. Look and simply see the dense areas of contraction (Range). Then see the expansion (Gap), followed by another contraction.
Look for same-size contractions and expansion and you will start to see how organized price flow can be. It's no different than swings in that minor contractions and expansions make up the major contractions and expansions.

HOW TO SET *** TRAILING *** STOP LOSSES ON TRADINGVIEWThis one is a bit of a hack but follows on from my video on how to set STOP LOSSES on TradingView for Connected Brokers.
To set a TRAILLING STOP LOSS you need to open your broker account, set the trade there and it will then be reflected on the TradingView interface.
Basically a set and forget type approach.
How to confirm Buy/Sell recommendations?As a trader, I meticulously review recommendations from brokerage firms regarding potential stock purchases daily. Despite this, I am frequently confronted with the challenge of accurately predicting profit probabilities, as well as determining precise entry, exit, and stop-loss points.
My preference for the Ichimoku strategy means I conduct extensive analyses on my portfolio, a process that, while thorough, is also notably time-consuming. Moreover, in the midst of trading, I find myself eager to predict the characteristics of the forthcoming bar. To address these challenges, I integrate a variety of indicators into my strategy, including VWAP, Stochastic RSI, MACD, OBV, RedK Everex, SVP, and, crucially, volume analysis. Yet, even with these tools, predicting the next price level—as a target price within my Ichimoku trading framework—remains elusive.
In my quest for a more comprehensive understanding, I discovered a user-friendly and exceptionally effective indicator that enhances my VWAP framework: the BREAKOUT PROBABILITY (EXPO) by ZEIIRMAN. It offers a nuanced perspective that could markedly improve trade decision-making.
I highly recommend watching the educational video provided by ZEIIRMAN. It has the potential to add significant value to your portfolio.
Best of luck in your trading endeavors.

This Completing Transformed My Trading (RESPECT & DISRESPECT)The idea of RESPECT and DISRESPECT completely transformed my ability to effectively read price action and trade profitably.
ICT teaches about Premium/Discount (PD) Arrays. There is a lot of bickering and debate as to which of these PD Arrays are better.
I'm here to build a case for the idea that they are all equally effective, and are just reference points on a chart to build a trade idea around.
To me, it boils down to: Which levels are being RESPECTED or DISRESPECTED?
That's it for me, that's what made it all click. That is what helped me stop worrying about every little level on the chart.
Once you have a high time frame (HTF) narrative and draw on liquidity (DOL), you know which PD arrays you want to see respected and disrespected. Coming up with your HTF Narrative is also based around what levels are being RESPECTED or DISRESPECTED.
I hope this video can give you an a-ha moment like it did for me.
Trading Rules Are Not a Suggestion or an OptionWhen you make a trading rule, it's not a suggestion or an option. Mostly, when we want to be flexible with our rules, it's an emotional impulse pulling us to make some unbalanced trading decision. Make sure to keep closing every escape route you have. If you are not ready to commit to rules then don't make them, you will just be setting yourself up. Wait until you are ready, then have a go at it.
In my posts, I have been doing an exercise of trade planning for 30 trades. This is a complete plan covering every aspect of the trade. Today I will do a review of the trades done so far.
Components of a Trade Plan:
1. Objective method
2. Trade entry, stop, and exit
3. Position sizing and risk management
4. Documentation and review
The review is simple, I ask 2 basic questions.
1. Did I make a clear plan ahead of time?
2. Did I follow that plan?
These questions demand honest, yes-or-no answers. They force me to confront my trading discipline head-on, without room for excuses or escape. At first, the rules may seem confining, but after a while, you will see that trading can be very relaxed.
I understand that rules for every aspect can be overwhelming. You can do it in steps tackling one thing at a time. For instance, you can work on only entries, stops, or management until you master that one thing. Setting the foundations of discipline and consistency won't offer immediate gratification but it will serve you in the long run. What's important is that you keep moving forward toward your objectives with awareness.

Bitcoin Broke New High – The Real Reasons Behind ItThe relationship between inflation and Bitcoin - they moves in tandem together, in the same direction.
We saw Bitcoin has broken above its 2021 high, and it is likely to continue this trend.
Many attribute the reason behind this rally to the approval of Bitcoin ETF by SEC in January of this year. While this approval serves an incentive, the core reason for this rally is the resilience of US inflation, meaning the inflation is still pretty stubborn, not coming down to the 2% target.

The Gap Between What Is and What Will BeThere are 5 basic ways to trade a Gap or any line. In this video, I discuss two ways to enter the market using a Gap before I make the trade plan. The Gap entry techniques by themselves are of little use, but if we make a few distinctions in market structure and the process of a swing cycle, they can become functional.
Swing cycles have a process that they go through. As long as we understand that process we can view Gaps in the light of where they happen in that process. I'm going to focus these two Gap entry techniques in the lower portion of the reaction leg at the bottom pivot of a swing. The Gaps are what make up the pivot portion of the swing.
If you observe markets and swings you will often see this distinct pivot portion of a swing, it looks like a U at the bottom of a reaction leg as the buyers wrestle control back from the sellers.

High Volume Times to Trade / Part 2 🔢Hello Traders welcome back to another concept video. This is the second video in our series -- High Volume Times to Trade --
We talk about
1) 4Hr Candle Opens/Closes
2) New York Stock Exchnage Open
3) London Close
Scalping/Intra-day trading during these times, in my experience, can provide unique opportunities to profit on Eur/Usd.
Similar to Part 1 of our series, these additional times to trade can provide that extra volume for
1) a nice continuation of the preceding trend
2) a short-term reversal of the preceding trend
and 3) act as a catalyst for the beginning of a higher timeframe trend
