Rising wedgeA rising wedge in an up trend is usually considered a reversal pattern. This pattern is at the end of a bullish wave, by creating close price tops, shows us that the supply has intensified and there is a possibility of a trend change. Of course, nothing is certain and if the buyers are more willing and strong, this pattern may be broken in the direction of the market rise.
A rising wedge in the middle of a downtrend, is considered a corrective move and is known as a continuing pattern. For example, take a look at the above chart of Ethereum on the weekly time frame

Ninja Talks EP 21: Amiga CD32Yesterday I was playing with my niece in the garden and out pops my dad holding his phone.
"You know that Amiga that I've had for years?" , He said.
"Yeah?" , I replied
"It's going for £250!, How crazy's that?!" , he exclaimed.
I thought to myself (1) I don't care and (2) It's irrelevant information.
But that's the probs with traders too, they focus on nonsense - mindlessly scrolling the ether of the interwebs hoping to randomly crash into a pile of dough (money), but they just end up like Homer Simpson saying "Doh!" after messing up a trade for the umpteenth time.
Not that this conversation is relevant to you, or to me, but I had to turn this unproductive exchange of words into a piece of info that might help someone who's willing to listen.
Listening is just half the battle, the other half is intensive action taking - another foreign concept traders get wrong and why my simple supply and demand strategy works so well, not because it's anything special (Think "simple", it's in the name), but because it gives an actionable routine any tom, dick and harry can repeat week in and week out without compromising too many resources, time and energy while at the same time pulling money out of the market faster than usual.
I should probably call it the lazy way to financial freedom but doing biz with lazy people isn't what I'm after - I want action takers and rule breakers, that's my kind of trader and one I'd happily invest my time and resources into any day of the week.
Last but not least, after I'm done writing this - turning waste into wine - I'm going to be backtesting a variety of supply and demand zones in a king of the hill style match up to see which zones offer up the biggest kills with the biggest profits - I hope you're spending your time wisely too.
See you in the next ep!
Keep your blades sharp.

Ninja Talks EP 15: Indicators Vs Naked( Warning - May cause offense and distress)
It's a tale as old as the markets themselves - to use indicators or to not use indicators, that is the question.
And to bring the answers you so desire it's none other than yours unruly - me, Ninja Nick! So buckle up because my way is totally biased, based, unapologetic and of course 100% correct forever and always.
Now on with the show...
I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely nobody! The pure price action specialist does whatever the fook he wants.
I hope that answers the question of what side I'm on - for those that didn't get the Conor McGregor reference, I'm against trading indicators - with one caveat...
* ...I understand that people can make them work, I'm not saying they're useless, but for me in my over 10 years of experience I'm yet to see one that jumps out at me like a supermodel in the street.
So with that said, here are some reasons I personally loathe, hate and despise (most) trading indicators:
(1) They're BS marketing techniques - case in point, the founder of the MACD said he gave it an acronym name because acronym products create more mystery and sell better. And he's not wrong, but still, BS marketing technique.
(2) Too many variables to take into consideration before placing a trade and for someone that practices KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) I find it's complexity more offensive than putting ketchup on a steak.
(3) Your charts look like an A.I rendition of a Pablo Picasso painting, so for that brilliant reason I'm out.
(4) The data is lagging - we already get the milk skimmed off out Tea by complex algorithms so why would I outsource my decision making further to baby Terminator? Not on my watch - I won't be back.
(5) I love pure price action and I don't know why, I've tried everything over my vast learning curve from financial filings, indicators, depth of market trading, algorithms, you name it I've fumbled with it and I can confidently say without a shadow of a doubt that my genius would be nothing without a pure virgin chart as my canvas.
So that's all for this episode, if you liked this then follow and drop a like for the algo (the good kind).
And always remember, keep your blades sharp Ninja!

Ninja Talks EP 5: Thinking Vs Feeling Something I can't quite get across to traders, especially new traders is intuition.
The dumb ones can't comprehend the subject and the smart ones (probably with a programming background) can't understand anything but an IF/THEN scenario.
Problem is trading is an amalgamation of patterns, that don't perfectly repeat but often rhyme and if you're looking for binary 2+2 = 4 then you're in for a rude awakening my friend.
The sooner you accept this the better.
The more experience you have as a chartist the more you'll (1) Be able to analyse and spot these imperfect patterns and (2) TRUST your gut instinct aka your intuition.
On intuition;
You know when you're sure a trade will win and when a trade will lose, let's not mess around here - you know deep down before you took a trade of it was timed well or wrong.
It's about trusting that feeling.
The problem is the intrusive thought "Let me see" is what destroys a traders account - take enough of these and you silence your intuition, why? Because it's not needed - if you're constantly listening to any and all intrusive thoughts and more importantly acting on those thoughts then you're psyche will print more of them - it's natural.
However, if you listen to the whisper of the gut - quiet it will be at first, but overtime it will become an integral part of your trading.
So in closing its really not about Thinking Vs Feeling, but about not ignoring either!
Make sense?
See you in the next episode Ninja!

GOLD: 3 Reason's why To Invest in Trading education is importantOANDA:XAUUSD
1. Get a Mentor
The best asset to your trading is having a knowledgeable mentor in your corner. Even the most well-written book or well-structured online trading course can only cover so many contingencies! When you run into a unique scenario and money -your money – is on the line, why gamble when you could ask someone more experience for help?
A mentor can ensure that your trading practices get off on the right foot, as well. If you develop bad habits or emotional triggers early on in your trading career, it’s going to be that much harder to “shake” them later on. Remember: your mentor has likely had the same fears, the same apprehensions and the same mistakes under their belt – learn from their mistakes and the student might even surpass the teacher, in time.
2 Understand What You’re Doing
We’re all guilty of coasting somewhere in life – getting the “gist” of something and just letting inertia carry you to a result. Trading, however, is not a High School literature test – it’s an important structure of rules, probabilities and information that could make you a lot of money. It’s not enough to know that cause A affects company B, you’ll need to know why that affect changes things in order to be a knowledgeable trader.
Are industry trading magazines, blogs and corporate research efforts a little dry at times? They certainly can be. That doesn’t mean they aren’t important as part of a holistic trading approach. Taking online trading courses may come with an upfront cost, but what they offer in structure and support is priceless. In addition to the course materials, you’ll get access to a community of fellow traders, which will allow you to clarify ideas and discuss strategies with other traders at your level.
When it comes to pre-made trading blueprints, following – not blindly following or copying, but keeping an eye on – certain systems will help keep concepts fresh in your mind and promote understanding. That brings us to our final point…
3 Forge Your Own Trading Path
The beginning trader could throw a stone and hit a dozen sources that claim they’ve “cracked the code” for 100% successful trading. Not only is that statistically improbable, it’s made to appeal to lazy traders that aren’t willing to put in the work to succeed. No matter how “foolproof” a trading system seems, always filter it through your mentor and your own trading research to ensure it’s worth pursuing.
An old saying also holds true, here: don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. While it’s important to get comfortable with risk in trading, don’t bet the farm when you’re still learning the ropes. As you practice your trades and build confidence in your methods, success will follow naturally.
Why Layoffs may be a good thing for Bitcoin and Crypto SummerQ. “Can layoffs in the Crypto space be what's needed for the next Crypto-Summer and Crypto Boom?”
A. While layoffs are never pleasant for those affected and for the price, I do believe they can have positive effects on the crypto market in the future.
Here are four reasons why:
Reason #1: There are less costs for the companies
Laying off workers can help crypto companies reduce costs. There’ll be less salaries to pay, less incentives, less commissions etc…
And this will allow them to weather the current downturn and emerge stronger when the market eventually recovers.
This cost-cutting could potentially help companies maintain their positions in the market and remain competitive.
Reason #2: They can focus on their core competencies
When companies layoff workers, this can also help companies refocus on what they need to focus on and work on in other departments.
This can help crypto companies streamline their operations and become more efficient, which can improve their chances of success in the long term.
Reason #3: More money for innovation
With the company cutting costs and with the companies able to gain more income, this is good for R&D.
With their research and development they can focus their attention on new innovations and recreations with their current offerings.
And they may be able to acquire new technologies, which will attract new investors to buy, that can help them remain competitive in the market.
Reason #4: Weed out the less needed
The recent layoffs may help weed out weaker, less competitive and less needed workers in the market.
This will also help them gain accountability and provide the current work force with better projects, training and prepare them for a well-run and better positioned future.
Best Indicator for Crypto TradingBest Indicator for crypto trading is RSI ( Relative Strength Index ) is very necessary for technical analysis . Mostly traders observe the previous market volatility and predict future trends . All cryptocurrencies are run by blockchain technology so traders use this tools to analyses the markets fluctuation. There are many indicator for crypto trading but the relative strength index (RSI) is very popular. It's was launched in 1970s. A tool for traders that can use to observe how market perform and trend . It’s measure the volume and velocity of price momentum and velocity of candles movement. The RSI is very helpful tool and very popular among the professional traders. This is new concept of technical analysis and price predication of future market
Work of RSI Indicator
RSI is best indicator tool for crypto trading. This type of technical analysis trading tool which observe the quantitative of volume and price fluctuation in crypto trading. When momentum increases and price also increases and it gives signal that trade is being ready for buy in market. If trend signs bearish or market fluctuate downside that indicates that market is ready for sell because selling pressure is very high. Visit for more information.
How do you calculate Bitcoin's Market Capitalisation?It’s quite similar to calculating the market cap of a share.
To calculate the market capitalization of a cryptocurrency, you need to know two things:
1. The current market price of the cryptocurrency
2. The total number of coins or tokens that have been issued.
Then all you do is multiply the market price and the total number of coins or tokens.
Let’s calculate the market cap of Bitcoin…
The current market price for bitcoin is $16,939 and the current number of tokens in circulation are 19,255,318.
To calculate the market capitalization of Bitcoin, you would multiply the market price by the total supply.
Bitcoin market cap = $16,939 X 19,255,318
= $329,021,194,902
You can go on Google and type in what the price of a Crypto coin is and then what the number of tokens are in circulation.
Then multiply the two and you’ll have the market cap.

Indicator: Bad Ass Bollinger Bands by wyckoffmode InstructionsHello,
At this time you may buy Bitcoin below the lower indigo band of Bad Ass Bollinger Bands and sell above the white upper band.
In the future you can come up with your own trading strategy by looking at the BBB indicator and finding the points on the indicator where buying is optimal. For instance like I said now is the time to buy below the lower indigo or "blue" band and sell above the white upper band.
Please, I'm interested to know your thoughts and would appreciate if you write me some information in the comments about this.
Please, pair Bad Ass Bollinger Bands with "Phoenix Ascending" also by username wyckoffmode aka David. He's a great man.
You may also ask him for access to "Phoenix ARI" and combine stochastic RSI with Phoenix ARI because Phoenix ARI is less susceptible to price action. By merging the two you get a good glimpe of volitility mixed with price action.
By using Phoenix Ascending a general rule of thumb is to buy Bitcoin when the blue LSMA is below the 20 line. However as you can see that doesn't happen a lot. So try to buy when all three green,red and blue are as close to the 20 as possible with green even being below the 20.
The best timeframe to use this on in my opinion is the three hour. If you are using this on the 15 minute or 30 minute chart please make sure you load a copy of the 3 hour and 6 hour charts in another tab and monitor to them to accurately make a good trading decision. Always remember what it generally boils down to in this market is to buy below the the lower indigo and sell above the upper white.
Good day and best wishes.
Inside Bar Candlestick Pattern 📉📉📉📉 We will cover the following today:
Inside Bar (Inside Day)
Inside Days
📉 Inside Days are a daily pattern involving two daily candles, we have a day of trade, also known as the ‘mother candle’ and then the following day trades the whole day within the range of the previous day. This is a two-day bias suggesting a potential reversal. A great way to play these sorts of biases is to pre-empt the failure of this reversal, as well as playing the success of the inside day, so what does this look like? Let’s take a look at an example below.
What is an inside bar? The inside bar is a popular reversal/continuation candle formation that only requires two candles to present itself. This pattern is a direct play on short-term market sentiment looking to enter before the 'big moves' that may take place in the market.
📉 Is an inside bar bullish?
Imagini pentru inside bar candlestick
First, unlike other candlestick patterns, inside bars are usually not distinguished as bullish and bearish by their look or color of the body itself, but rather by the location they are at and other peripheral developments
An “inside bar” pattern is a two-bar price action trading strategy in which the inside bar is smaller and within the high to low range of the prior bar, i.e. the high is lower than the previous bar's high, and the low is higher than the previous bar's low.
📉 TRADING WITH THE INSIDE BAR CANDLESTICK PATTERN: TOP TIPS AND STRATEGIES
Some traders consider it a continuation pattern though a breakout in the opposite direction is possible too. After price has trended up (or down) for an extended period, the pause in price movement (represented by the inside bar) precedes a reversal of the trend. Therefore, the inside bar is looked at for a short-term trade (or swing trading) in the counter-trend direction with the goal of holding the trade for less than 10 bars.
However, there is another way to trade inside bars and this is rooted directly from what the candle pattern does NOT reveal. When traders see an inside bar pattern form, it is interpreted as the markets unwillingness to push price higher or lower. This can be for any number of reasons:
An extremely pertinent report is being issued soon, or
The market just made a stratospheric leap and traders are tepid about bidding price much higher or lower.
Whatever the reason, the motive is the same: seeking potential volatility in an effort to increase profitability. When there is a situation in which traders are unwilling to bid price higher or lower, it is seen as a potential situation for future increases in volatility. The inside bar candle pattern is NOT telling traders that the market is bidding price higher or lower but rather that the market is waiting before making the next big move in the asset. This means potential opportunities for traders.

Market Seasonality - Fundamentals 📉📉📉✅ Seasonality refers to particular time frames when stocks/sectors/indices are subjected to and influenced by recurring tendencies that produce patterns that are apparent in the investment valuation.
✅ Seasonality is a characteristic of a time series in which the data experiences regular and predictable changes that recur every calendar year. Any predictable fluctuation or pattern that recurs or repeats over a one-year period is said to be seasonal.
✅ What is a Seasonality Forecast? In time series data, seasonality refers to the presence of variations which occur at certain regular intervals either on a weekly basis, monthly basis, or even quarterly (but never up to a year). Various factors may cause seasonality - like a vacation, weather, and holidays
✅ You can use the Market Seasonality as an extra fundamental confluence for the price, we have 2 market seasonalities bullish and bearish. If a price has bullish seasonality it means the pariticular asset will tend to rise during that cycle and viceversa. Market Seasonality (MS) is a good tool to have in your arsenal but only if you are trading on a mid-long term perspective. You can't trade using the market seasonality on a scalping or a intra-day basis because it makes no sense.

Fibonacci Premium vs Discount ✅ 📝 Fibonacci is a sequence that came up with a Smart mathematician name Leonard Fibonacci came with a sequence that proved that everything in the universe repeats itself in a specific mathematical. From the petals on a flower, to the spiral patterns on snail's shell, all fulfilled with a specific numerical sequence. The same Fibonacci sequence applies in everything and anywhere including Trading. When a retracement begins as buyers will come take their profits and leave, new buyers will come in at specifici levels using the Fibonacci retracement.
📉 I use the Fibonacci retracements for entries and for take profit zones i will show that in an example on how go about doing it. Please everything that i am going to show here be ensure that you practice until you have fully mastered price action
📉I use the fib placing from the lowest body of the candle to the highest body of the candle if we are in a bullish momentum(aiming to go long)

📝 Remember its a Fibonacci retracement. What you should remember is what i said at the beginning of the Fib that when buys take their profits and leave, new buyers get it a retracement that's where you also get it. It also vice versa when in a bearish momentum.
Bitcoin - Market Seasonality 📉📉 What is crypto seasonality?
Crypto seasonality is the perception that Bitcoin will rise and fall over a set period of time, drastically affecting the crypto market overall.
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s largest cryptocurrency, as well as the first-ever one. As the first cryptocurrency, it has tons of value locked up into it at all times, and all subsequent coins, otherwise known as altcoins, are tied to it in some way.
However, Bitcoin is no stable asset. The world’s first cryptocurrency is consistently ranging in value, dropping or rising tens of thousands of dollars at any given point. Every four years, this volatility is expected to reach a peak before crashing relatively hard due to the Bitcoin halving. The Bitcoin halving is programmed into the Bitcoin blockchain. Every four years, the halving occurs, and the rewards for mining Bitcoin are cut in half, effectively ensuring less Bitcoin is coming into circulation with every block mined.
The market tends to correct after a halving, with Bitcoin’s price rising due to its more scarce nature, only to crash shortly afterward as investors cash in their newly-earned profits, and the market overcorrects as a result. While Bitcoin crashes, more investors begin worrying about their investments and may pull out to move funds into altcoins.
📉2. Is crypto seasonality good or bad?
It affects everyone. But whether it’s good or bad depends on your investment personality.
Crypto seasonality can be seen as both good and bad, depending on your perspective and investment personality. For one, newer traders might see seasonality as a good thing, as they can now invest in Bitcoin at a lower price. Long-time holders, however, might despise crypto seasonality as their Bitcoin holdings are almost guaranteed to crash every four years, forcing them to wait out the lows or reinvest their holdings into altcoins.
That said, one can almost always expect Bitcoin to rise back up due to supply and demand. While this belief is never a guarantee, the leading cryptocurrency has historically risen to higher highs after each halving so far.
📉3. How crypto seasonality affects investors
Crypto seasonality might force Bitcoin-only investors to gamble in the altcoin market.
When Bitcoin’s price crashes, investors are almost forced into the altcoin market to continue generating profits. That said, altcoins are entirely unpredictable, and a project that’s massively popular one day can crash suddenly the next.
The altcoin market is also full of scams. Rug pulls and deceptive marketing have led to investors being taken advantage of. Regulatory policies are still in the works and can negatively affect a trader's experience as they develop. Exchanges can be hacked and holdings stolen. There’s really no telling what can happen in the wild west that is the altcoin market.
Sure, there are safer ways than others. Investors can buy into established passive income methods like Uniswap’s (UNI) liquidity pools, or participate in the mining or staking process of a coin rather than simply investing in it, but there’s still an inherent risk alongside these processes.

Hammer Candlestick Pattern 📉📉📉📉 A hammer candlestick is a technical trading pattern that resembles a “T” whereby the price trend of a security will fall below its opening price, illustrating a long lower shadow, and then consequently reverse and close near its opening. Hammer candlestick patterns occur after a security has fallen in price, typically over three trading days. They are often considered signals for a reversal pattern.
📉 The hammer candlestick is a bullish trading pattern that may indicate that a stock or other assets like currency pairs/crypto coins has reached its bottom, and is positioned for trend reversal
📉 According to most textbooks: Whenever you spot a Hammer candlestick pattern, you should go long because the market is about to reverse higher. And that's what you do. The price immediately reverses and you get stopped out for a loss.
📉 Hammer candlestick is a unique candlestick pattern that indicates a potential trend reversal. Since it forms in a downtrend, traders associate the hammer with the return of bullish trend in the market. It is a short green candle with long lower shadow, which signifies lower price rejection by the market.
Do you use hammer candlestick pattern in your analysis ? What do you think about it ?
TDI Trading Indicator 📉📉📉📉 Let’s break down the Traders Dynamic Index indicator and go through it a little bit. As you can see, this scalping indicator has five moving averages.
The green line is called the price line and is similar to the RSI indicator and represents the market sentiment. It shows you how the market is moving related to positive and negative expectation. the settings for the price line is 2.
The red line is called the signal line is simply a crossover of the green line and can be used for entry and exit in the market. The settings for the signal line is 7.
The yellow line is called the base line is what we refer to as the overall market sentiment. It shows the overall direction of the market. The overall market has a tendency to do two things. It can turn slowly, or it can continue to go in the initial direction. This is because it’s too big and it can’t turn too quickly. It’s got to come to a gradual end. The settings for the base line is 34.
Last but not least, we have two blue lines, one above and one below. Those blue lines represent the volatility in the market, similar to the Bollinger Bands. They are increasing and decreasing volatility. Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) MetaTrader indicator — a comprehensive but helpful indicator that uses RSI (Relative Strength Index), its moving averages, and volatility bands (based on Bollinger Bands) to offer traders a full picture of the current Forex market situation. This indicator can use sound and visual alerts.
📉 The TDI is the only technical indicator that can read the market sentiment, market volatility, and momentum at the same time. The concept is very simple, it is 3 rsi indicators on 3 different time frames and then it is combined with Bollinger bands. That is where the 5 lines come from

📉📉📉 Wedge Trading Pattern 📉 What Is a Wedge?
A wedge is a price pattern marked by converging trend lines on a price chart. The two trend lines are drawn to connect the respective highs and lows of a price series over the course of 10 to 50 periods. The lines show that the highs and the lows are either rising or falling and differing rates, giving the appearance of a wedge as the lines approach a convergence. Wedge shaped trend lines are considered useful indicators of a potential reversal in price action by technical analysts.
📉 Understanding the Wedge Pattern
A wedge pattern can signal either bullish or bearish price reversals. In either case, this pattern holds three common characteristics: first, the converging trend lines; second, a pattern of declining volume as the price progresses through the pattern; third, a breakout from one of the trend lines. The two forms of the wedge pattern are a rising wedge (which signals a bearish reversal) or a falling wedge (which signals a bullish reversal).
📉 Falling Wedge
When a security's price has been falling over time, a wedge pattern can occur just as the trend makes its final downward move. The trend lines drawn above the highs and below the lows on the price chart pattern can converge as the price slide loses momentum and buyers step in to slow the rate of decline. Before the lines converge, price may breakout above the upper trend line.
This usually occurs when a security’s price has been rising over time, but it can also occur in the midst of a downward trend as well.
The trend lines drawn above and below the price chart pattern can converge to help a trader or analyst anticipate a breakout reversal. While price can be out of either trend line, wedge patterns have a tendency to break in the opposite direction from the trend lines.
📉 Rising Wedge
This usually occurs when a security’s price has been rising over time, but it can also occur in the midst of a downward trend as well.
The trend lines drawn above and below the price chart pattern can converge to help a trader or analyst anticipate a breakout reversal. While price can be out of either trend line, wedge patterns have a tendency to break in the opposite direction from the trend lines.

📉📉 FEAR/GREED INDEX
📉 Why Measure Fear and Greed?
The crypto market behaviour is very emotional. People tend to get greedy when the market is rising which results in FOMO (Fear of missing out). Also, people often sell their coins in irrational reaction of seeing red numbers. With our Fear and Greed Index, we try to save you from your own emotional overreactions. There are two simple assumptions:
📉 Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried. That could be a buying opportunity.
When Investors are getting too greedy, that means the market is due for a correction.
Therefore, we analyze the current sentiment of the Bitcoin market and crunch the numbers into a simple meter from 0 to 100. Zero means "Extreme Fear", while 100 means "Extreme Greed". See below for further information on our data sources.
Tweezer Tops vs Tweezer Bottom 📉📉📉📉 A tweezer is a technical analysis pattern, commonly involving two candlesticks, that can signify either a market top or bottom. Tweezer bottoms are considered to be short-term bullish reversal patterns, whereas tweezer tops are thought to be bearish reversals.
📉 Tweezer top indicates a bearish reversal whereas Tweezer bottom indicates a bullish reversal. Tweezer top candlestick pattern occurs when the high of two candlesticks are almost or the same after an uptrend
📉 A Tweezer Bottom occurs during a downtrend when sellers push prices lower, often ending the session near the lows, but were not able to push the bottom any further. Tweezer Bottoms are considered to be short-term bullish reversal patterns that signal a market bottom.
A tweezers top is when two candles occur back to back with very similar highs. A tweezers bottom occurs when two candles, back to back, occur with very similar lows. The pattern is more important when there is a strong shift in momentum between the first candle and the second
