GBPUSD/GOLD Renko Aug 13th Analysis/TutorialGBPUSD chart is setup with traditional renko and each box is 10 pips (0.001) in settings. Added the renko reversal alert to be notified when reversal happens. If you are not familiar with traditional renko each box won't close until the right pip amount is moved and the time frame closes with that pip amount.
So for 15 min. If price moves 10 pips up and 15 min hasn't closed yet you will notice there will be a light shade of the box. Once 15 min closes the box will be set in stone on the chart. 15 min renko on 10 pips matches 1H candlesticks in a sense as far as movement.
At the bottom you will see I also have the Stochastic RSI indicator which can help identify divergence. Stoch RSI setting is default. Bollinger band setting default and i have the 50 ema added on as well.
Traditional Renko can help identify trend easier and help with SL/TP at your discretion. Also used on GOLD (XAUUSD) with same settings and box set at 20 pips (2). Following a 10 pip/20 pip a day trading plan can be beneficial with these settings if you enter correctly. Less eye traffic with renko compared to candlesticks. Personally like to use 15 min.
Analysis- You can see divergence and double bottom formed on multiple time frames. Expecting price to break down trend and reach 1.39500.

CONSENSUS MECHANISMS - PoW vs PoSHey, Alkalites! If you want to invest in cryptocurrencies and know how to recognize long-term opportunities, you should start learning the technology behind them.
Do you know what a consensus mechanism is?
Consensus decision-making is a process in which group members agree to support a decision in the best interest of the whole.
In other words, this mechanism is used to govern the blockchain behind each asset. Usually, this consensus is necessary to confirm the validity of the transactions that take place in that network.
The most common consensus mechanisms are PoW (Proof of Work) and PoS (Proof of Stake).
PoW is used to determine how the network can be sure that the transaction is valid and that someone is not corrupting the network, for example, with double-spending. The Proof of Work is based on advanced mathematical formulas called “cryptography”. That is why the name "cryptocurrency" was invented.
All miners compete looking for a solution to the mathematical problem. The first miner (or pool of miners) to solve the block problem receives a reward, the block is created and transactions are included. Examples are BTC and ETH.
PoS uses a process by which contributors to the system earn commissions from transactions. To validate the transactions, the user must put their coins in a wallet that freezes the coins. The more you stake, the more you earn.
If someone tried to hack the network or process malicious transactions, he would lose all of his participation, since it would affect the integrity of his wallet. Also, it encourages holding the tokens, which is good for the value. Examples are Algorand and Cardano.
Do you have any question? Let me know!
Have a great Sunday, Alkalites!
The three O's that have to go ❌The O’s in your trading game that have to go are shown drawn on the chart.
The three O’s in the idea can all overlap one another and allowing one to creep in can lead to any of the other also creeping in to your trading.
We have all suffered at some point in our trading journeys of these three phenomena.
All of these O’s can lead to capital being impacted and potentially a blown account.
We’ll start with over trading.
On the face of it, over trading is taking too many trades.
Over trading can occur when chasing losses or being on a particularly good winning steak.
Either of those situations mentioned is essentially a loss of control.
The loss of control leads to a loss of focus.
The loss of focus leads to too many trades.
Too many of those trades will be stupid trades.
Those stupid trades will be losing trades at some point.
All these trades mean increased commissions.
The cycle continues and instead of compounding profits the only thing being compounded is risk.
Compounded risk leads to losses and if the cycle isn’t broken a blown trading account awaits.
Next is over risking.
Risk management is key to any trading plan being successful.
Stating the obvious in that first sentence.
But I’m also stating the obvious when I say we’ve all been there and risked more than we should on some trades.
Over risking more than our capital allows will only lead to tears and one outcome which is the blown account outcome.
We end with overconfidence
Probably the worse O of the three to allow in your trading behaviours!
Allowing this one to sneak in can quickly allow the other two already covered to sneak in.
Usually seen as a positive emotion in the world we live in, this emotion can quickly become a negative emotion in the trading world.
Allowing this emotion to creep in blurs our perceptions to so many concepts we need for trading and can lead to a gambling mentality.
Greed will take hold with overconfidence and when the winning streak comes to a cashing end the trader runs the risk of allowing the other two O’s to creep in leading to only one outcome.
The blown account yet again.
The O’s can crossover
All of the traits mentioned can be experienced individually or some can crossover one another. Below are a few examples.
We covered in the overconfidence how it can lead to the O’s creeping in. Overconfidence from a winning streak leads to overtrading which in turn leads to an inevitable losing streak and capital impacted with losses.
Worse case scenario is overconfidence from a good run of trades leads to over risking on the next set of trades which loose. You then end up over trading in revenge to gain back the losses which could lead to yet more losses.
You could be a new trader starting out with no confidence.
You start to over risk from the off and lead to your trading account being blown.
You could over trade combined with over risking which accelerates the loss of trading capital.
In those scenarios mentioned confidence hasn’t been an issue at all. But risk management and trade volume have.
How to avoid the O’s
I'm pretty sure we all suffer one of O traits at some point in our trading journey.
The key is to recognise the incident and the issues it caused and learn from that.
It lies with us as individuals to own up to our trading mistakes. Some of us will suffer all three O’s in our trading paths.
In owning up to our shortcomings all the O’s can be avoided going forward in your trading life's.
Hope you all enjoy your trading week.

HOW TO BE THE 1% 🤔💫🤩
Our culture is obsessed with the rich, famous, and successful people, yet what is left behind is both the hard work and sacrifices of those who «made it»
And millions of those who failed miserably en route to fame and became nothing.
There are multiple theories on and philosophical systems, that reflect on success, but ill bring out the key points:🔑
➡️ Genetics, upbringing, and connections determine 70% of the outcome.
Oh yes, as much as we don’t like to think about it, it is genetics that determines our capacity for sports, singing, our intelligence, speed of reaction, etc.
For example, musical talent is determined by the specific structures in the brain, and some people have those from birth, and some people do not.
These structures might differ by a factor of 10.000 from person to person, even though the brain size would be the same.
So you might spend 20 years in musical training and be good, but you will never be a Mozart without those structures in your brain.
Training and upbringing, In turn, affect whether you will be able to use these Brain structures, as well as the society in which you were born, determines if your talents will be useful or not.
One might be born a genius mathematician, but if he did not get good training, or if he was born in the dark ages, his talent would have been wasted.
One's family and social circle affect which connections will the person have in adult life , and it is for better or worse but cronyism and nepotism as still widespread, And the connected ones, even without being super bright, usually outdo those that aren’t.
➡️ Pareto 20/80 Rule, or risky business VS the safe one.
Almost everything in life follows the Pareto Rule, which says that 20% of your effort brings you 80% of the result.
There is another interpretation too: 20% of people will have 80% of all success in the given industry.
This rule applies best and in its extremes to the high-end risky businesses with ultra-high failure rates paired with the ultra-high payoff.
These industries are Acting, Music, Sports, and Trading!
As you can see, in acting, which is the extreme case, 1% of the actors make 80% of the Income generated by the industry. The same goes for music and sports where the select few make the big buck, and those that aspired but failed, barely make a living. Compare this to being an engineer or a doctor. The failure rate is much lower, which lowers the risk of entering the profession, but the highest potential income is lower too!
This applies to Trading too, as once you’ve learned how to be consistently profitable, the sky is the limit. There is no difference in the cost of labor or time spent on making a trade with the risk of 100$ and making a trade with the risk of 100.000$
Of course, at some point, your trades will get so big, that YOU will start moving the market trying to enter the trade, but that’s a story for another day.
➡️ Your power of will, determination, patience, and readiness for sacrifice.
Trading is a unique industry, where ANYONE can succeed , without needing a diploma, connections, or looks.
In essence, trading at its core is about pattern recognition . You discover a pattern, learn to find it on the chart, and then find a way to use this knowledge to extract monetary gains by playing this pattern with the probability being on your side. That's it. That easy.
Then why is it, that 99.9% of those who try trading, ultimately fail?
In my years of trading, I’ve noticed a pattern: 💡
A - GET RICH FAST attitude
B - Do not spend time educating themselves
C - Do not treat Trading like a business
D - Lack of Patience
E - Can not follow rules
⚠️ People think that forex is a Magic Money Tree, just stretch forth your hand, and you will drown in gold …
In reality, however, learning to trade will take YEARS , will cost you a fortune and no one will guarantee you success.
HERE IS MY ADVICE TO THE NEW TRADERS: 🤓
🎯 HAVE THE RIGHT MINDSET
1)Prepare for failure, disappointment, and tears
2)Realize that you will train for YEARS
3)Learn to fight and not to give up
🎯 GET GOOD HABITS:
1) We ARE our habits , so recognize what is good for you, and make it a habit
2)Staying in good health is underestimated, while in reality, your physical condition has a direct effect on your mind.
3) Work on your mistakes. You will never learn If you do not access your previous work critically.
4) Make a plan for a week , then break it into daily tasks. Do it for a month and that will become a habit.
🎯 MANAGE YOUR FINANCES WELL
1) Learning to trade is expensive and time-consuming, so make sure you have an income.
2) Learn basic financial literacy and spend less than you make. Easy right? But if you lose an account that cushion will help.
3) Do NOT quit your job the moment you became profitable. This sounds obvious, but the market will test you multiple times, and unless you’ve got enough savings to last for 1 YEAR without working, ditching a stable source of income will not only make you vulnerable but will also affect you mentally which will negatively affect your trading.
📈 FOLLOW these steps and you will increase your chances of success in trading by a factor of 10!

We need to be cautious of a fake out to downside, but mainly looking for the apex of the triangle to hold to confirm that bulls are in control for a break to the upside.
If we can break out on this alt coins will continue much high upside!
4 hour chart Below -
Looks real clean on this.
I think alts are getting ready to go again when/if this breaks to the upside.

How to read an Income StatementOne of the three major financial statements used to reflect a company's financial performance during a certain accounting period is the income statement . The income statement shows a company’s revenue and expenses over a period of time. It is also called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L.
The most common time periods of reporting are:
1. 1 quarter (90 days)
2. 1 year (365 days)
3. TTM (“trailing twelve months”)
4. YTD (year to date)
Companies usually show the income statement in the quarterly earnings press release but not always. You can find them by looking at:
1. 10-Q (quarterly report)
2. 10-K (annual report)
The income statement focuses on four key items— revenue, expenses, gains, and losses . It makes no distinction between cash and non-cash revenues (cash sales vs. credit sales) or cash vs. non-cash payments/disbursements (purchases in cash versus purchases on credit).
The income statement flows in a step-down manner. The top number is revenue (sales) and costs are subtracted as you go down.
Let’s take them one by one:
1) Revenue – this is the amount received or to be received from the sales of products/services during this period. Sales revenue is net, meaning it includes discounts, returns and any other deductions from the sales price.
2) COGS (cost of goods sold) – this figure shows all of the costs & expenses related to producing the product or that service. If you sell smartphones these would be the variable costs of: chips, plastic, labor costs, etc…to manufacture smartphones.
3) Gross profit – this is Revenue – COGS. It is also called “gross income”.
4) Operating expenses (OPEX) – a category that includes all costs to run a company’s day-to-day operations. These categories may include: Research and Development (R&D), Sales, Marketing, Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A), Overhead (rent, utilities, travel, salary, bonus, stock-based compensation).
5) Operating income – Gross Profit – OPEX. This shows how much profit a company earned from its ongoing operations. It is also called “EBIT”, which stands for “Earnings Before Interest and Taxes”.
6) Interest Expense – The amount of interest paid during this period. This can also include other types of financing charges like loan origination fees.
7) Pre-tax income – OPEX-Interest Expense. Also called “EBT” or “Earnings before Tax”
8) Income Tax Expense – Taxes paid to federal and local governments.
9) Net Income – Also called earning or profits. If the number is positive the business is profitable. If the number is negative, the business is unprofitable.
To calculate “Earnings per share” or EPS we must divide the net income to the amount of shares outstanding a company has. For example: If a company makes 10 million and it has 1 million shares outstanding, each share is entitled to $10.
An income statement may provide a lot of information about a company's operations. It comprises a business's operations, managerial efficiency, potential profit-eroding leaky areas, and if the organization is operating in line with industry peers.
Trade with care.
