My trading strategies : Trade against the trapped trader!STRAT 11 : Basic premise As price continues in a trend, more and more traders keep piling into the same direction, hoping that the trend will continue and they will make money. However, at some point, the trend sharply reverses, breaking the market structure in opposite direction and trapping a whole bunch of retail traders in the direction of trend which just got reversed. We create a zone which identifies these trapped traders and then patiently wait for them to exit, and trade with limit orders in the direction of their exit. You can add additional confirmation signals from DXY's directions for the instruments which are highly correlated to DXY (EURUSD, USDCHF, etc)

Losing faith in the Dollar $DXYDuring the begginning of the year there was some home for the dollar. it seemed as if we were within reach of making our most competitive currencies such as the British Pound, the Euro, The Franc, and The Canadian Dollar about as close as 1-to-1 as possible. Well Today, I think those dreams are farther than what they could've been. What's the reasoning for the shorting the dollar. Has the fed printed too much thus devaluing the currency as much more is in circulation than needed? Or are people looking for a new raw metal like gold, or are they looking for a completely new system like crypto? If you look at this daily chart, you can see that the dollar did hit an area of previous support, it was actually an order block (a down candle that caused displacement afterward) that was in the middle of the skyrocketing price. It was in June when the price decided it wanted to slide down and down and down and then it finally hit a floor in August it went sideways for the last few months. I thought it would eventually pick back up given certain consequences. Those consequences are now showing and I believe our fiat dollar will no longer be the worlds currency. It has been lower that what it is now, yes I know that. But that doesn't mean it's a good thing. Think about your monitary positioning now, what you will do with the money you have, how will you keep it strong. Ipersonally believe this is the beginning of the end of the USD. So position yourselves to earn from the fall, it can be done if you are wise. I'm not saying I'm the best and know everything. I'm just simply stating my opinion. In technicals of the DXY, just watch the key levels and see how price actions works at those key levels. Does it continue slipping? or does it consolidate for another few months and the revive? I'm going to guess that it's going to continue to slide. But what do I know? I'm just some rando guy that likes to post his ideas on tradingview and go on rants about what I believe so I could be absolutely WRONG. Oh btw, you're welcome to vent about anything in my comments section, some people just neeed that. But good luck and good trading :) TVC:DXY

$GBPUSD - Seeking Liquidity Short - 3:1 Scalp-ish TradeThe old me wants to buy it because it fits the trend-line/channel. Also, the double top doesn't help. I know that once we get near that double top it's going to break it. But everyone else is buying right now, thinking the same thing and that's why the smart money signals are telling me to sell soon. There is a breaker and an order block just above this consolidation area. I believe it will enter and exit this area pretty quickly and head south seeking more buyers and taking them out as they set their Stop Losses just below these liquidity areas like the previous daily lows. So I have 3 take profits marked out along the way in case it does hit another small Order Block and bounce, I'll take profit there, move my stop loss to where ever is appropriate and continue hoping that it's going to take out the sell-side liquidity. I believe it's currently building up sell orders, although it looks like a buy, that's what they bankers want you to think so that when you buy on this level they'll just turn around and take out your money by forcing the price to sell. So I'm going for the sell here and I'm already in position to do so. Happy Thanksgiving! and happy trading!

$EURUSD Swing Sell Underway - Another one So this Blue Horizontal line that I've had on my charts for quite some time represents a significant resistance/support line for the past 8 years or so. I call the daily bias for the EURUSD to be a sell, and it was overnight and when I woke up I immediately exited the trade with a mere but decent 20 pips, closing the trade at 1.18337 about 8 hours ago. The move shifted sideways and then within the last part of the day I noticed the strong surge upwards, until it hit my resistance line that has been marked for weeks at 1.18790. I kinda looked at it for a second. Then I looked at the big picture and thought this could be another swing trade. So I went for it. Within the previous day it has attacked a daily high and a daily low but has not broken either of them. So tomorrow it's going to be a given that it will break one or the other. So I have set up second entry zone and that is just above the next two daily highs and allows for a stop loss above the 3rd daily high. I will probably try a combination of entry points and stop/losses to mitigate risk as I always do. Never put your eggs in one basket!! Where I drew my historical support/resistance line just happened to the bottom of an Order Block. (See Chart) As for Take Profit Goals, I chose 1.17400 because it's just below the current swing low and it's an institutional/psy number. No one at a bank is going to be aimin for 1.174214. And it also comes in contact with an order block that could turn the trade north depending on what time of day it is when it gets there. My second take profit area is 1.17000 which is just above a 4 hour low/swing low of 1.16978 and just below a daily low. Once/if I hit these zones I'll leave about a 5% profit trailer to roam to see if it gets lower while my s/l is below entry. Again, the Commercial banks are very net short with EU even though they have been adding longs. I did check the Open interest last night and it seems to be steadily rising, which wouldn't necessarily call for a sell. Unless a drop in interest has just happened or is about to happen. Here's a chart with the COT report, stochastic with interest, and Money flow with interest rates. The Money Flow Index with the Open Interest seems to be Diverging which would signal a sell in the near future. I'm not expecting it to turn around and sell off now. But I do Expect a struggle, probably breaking the highs (barely) before dropping a few hundred pips by the end of next week. Also Linked is every EURUSD call I've made so you can see the timeline of how bad I used to make calls, and my progression to making better calls and realizing where I went wrong with incorrect ones. At least now they're all in one spot. During this period I'll be trying to add more positions as well as give a breakdown of price action on this thread as the trade moves along. Just my two cents. And just a reminder, I could be completely WRONG. I'm just some guy with a 9-5 job that likes to post his ideas on here :) FX:EURUSD

Importance of risk management : this trade is now risk free!I took this trade and was expecting price to move 3R in my favor. However, after hitting 1R, the price just collapsed back. Even though I might loose this trade - but because of my risk management plan, this trade is already risk free for me (after it hit 1R). I cannot express enough - HAVE A RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN that works for your attitude! Risk management 1) Reduce 50% at 1R => Trade becomes risk free 2) Reduce further 25% at 2R AND move SL to break-even 3) Close trade at 3R 4) Winner = 1.75R (looser = 1R)

$SPX Repost - Finally Hit Entry 3595 (Original Idea Linked)I'm going to point to the original breakdown of the this idea to my related ideas. The continued added comments in the linked idea were just price reading along the way from the time I called this price until now. Now that we've finally entered the trade at 3595, I'll continue the rest on this of the analysis on this idea as it slides down and what I plan to do and distribution of lots. The differences between this idea and the original idea is that I replaced the fib, This ideas fib is that the 100% is now the old 62%. And that I've also added a second, riskier entry at 3602 with a tighter stop loss at 3614. The original Idea has the entry at 3595 which we hit just before close, stop loss at 3630.8. Both have expected sells to 3439.5. However, on this idea, I'll be sharing percentages of lot sizes I'll be shaving off as profit at different parts of the trade on the way down, as well as trying to add more positions or find scalps within this trade. I still think there's a strong possibility that it could reach 3602 and the explanation is in the linked idea. I found a stand alone Breaker in the price action at that point that could prove to be the real fake out price since 3595 seems a bit too obvious and I don't think Smart Money is going to play that game. There's also a possibility it could find itself at 3655 or 3669 in which if I get my S/L hit early in this Trade then that's where I will be looking for price to go next before I plan to make a long term sell. But then again what do I know, I'm just some dude that likes sharing his Ideas. I could be COMPLETELY WRONG. But that's how we all learn isn't it? OANDA:SPX500USD
