'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.' -Leonardo da Vinci
“Simplicity is the glory of expression.” — Walt Whitman
90% of people overthink things.
The result?
They don’t make progress in their lives and they feel stuck.
Simplicity boils down to two steps: Identify the essential. Eliminate the rest.
This method involves scaling the chart in accordance with a specific esoteric number of power in harmonic relation with the chosen time frame.
This approach allows for predictive models that are both innovative and grounded in proven financial theories. This method serves as a powerful tool for identifying potential turning points and market trends with greater precision.

Downtrend Continues. Lets chat about mindset todayAfter getting back onto TradingView to do some more daily market updates (which wasn't the plan) I put less effort into the market setups as I'd gone over to the otherside of the progression curve.
Students have the same thing happen to them once they have gone beyond the honeymoon period and then into the management of their patience and discipline rather than absorb more exciting breakthrough live changing material.
During the symmetrical triangle non-trade period over the last few weeks I didn't have anything to prove, so my level of action wasn't on the same level as it would have been when trying to prove a point. This means I got lazy on looking at all the options and also did not consult the lower time frames to consider their structure etc. I am saying this because all students will eventually get to this point themselves.
So to deal with my emotions I went into wild nature and asked the 'nature gods' to guide me, and they did. I was reminded of what got me through the mental struggles, the emotional struggles, the physical struggles and all the struggles. And for me, that was packaged into 2 powerful-to-me words "I win". And for anyone who knows my story, you'll know the endless challenges I have overcome.
If you have been wobbled by life, ask yourself "what is unique to me which powers me through" and use that to be at the forefront of the game!
Much love!!

Trading lessons on real live market action. Killzone, trend...today's lesson & update will work best with yesterday's video on market structure.
It also highlights the importance of solid rules to trade with, in this instance it is:
trade with trend
wait for price action to exit killzone
use demo accounts to learn a new skill, not real money (until your results prove that you are ready)
Walking out from the washing machineI'm sure I'm going to get some bad press about the market now going up again...
Ranging markets are tough for everyone, its how you handle your account during the periods of uncertainty that matters
I'm exhausted by seeing the market going up, so I'm personally shocked that it has the energy to do so...alas, its going up
So for those who sold to cash, congratulations on locking in the profit, being responsible during the period of market reshuffle, and enjoy the Long positions to come (until the trend is over)
Use the MTOPS Rules to ensure you enter your trades responsibly As I've been saying for days, the downtrend is continuing
The 3rd high has formed prematurely (imo) so expect some weird market moves as it attempts to shift itself into a 'responsible' structure one more
As always, don't rush in. You don't need to chase trades like the masses do, you can hand pick the quality setups
NDX: A new multi weekly upward cycle is beginningBased on the time the price stays below 18464.70, we will be able to understand which cycle's degree is on the edge.
Given that the time for a T+5U is not over yet, we expect to return to the absolute top in the next months (> 18464.70), but before we have to close a potential T+3/T+4 downward cycle.
Market Consolidation: A Brief Pause Before the Downtrend ResumesThe current market conditions suggest that we are witnessing a period of consolidation, with prices trading within a narrow range. This consolidation phase is likely to be a temporary pause before the prevailing downtrend reasserts itself.
Key observations:
> Prices have been oscillating between well-defined support and resistance levels, indicating a lack of clear directional bias.
> Trading volumes have decreased during this consolidation period, suggesting that market participants are awaiting a decisive breakout.
> The overall market sentiment remains bearish, with the underlying trend still pointing towards lower prices.
Traders should exercise caution during this consolidation phase and prepare for a potential continuation of the downtrend. Shorting opportunities may arise once prices break below the current support levels, confirming the resumption of the bearish trend.
However, it is essential to maintain strict risk management practices and set appropriate stop-loss orders to protect against any unexpected market reversals. As always, traders should stay vigilant and adapt their strategies based on the evolving market conditions.
Keep a close eye on key support and resistance levels, as a decisive break in either direction could provide valuable insights into the market's near-term direction. Stay tuned for further updates as the market navigates through this consolidation phase.
Dominant trend direction continues Not much change from yesterday's update. The Price went into range as suggested. Watching for a reversal to the upside, but unlikely
I feel the market is heading down overall. As always keep a smartly set stoploss in place to protect your capital from the zigzags that happen across the chart whilst price anchors in to its sweet spot before continuing on trend
It turns out the market was repositioning itself for DOWNat the end of last week I said to be aware of consolidation coming in with a major market move to follow. That's exactly what happened, only the market went down (thankfully) instead of exhausting itself further on the up
