Weekly market breakdown- DXY Good Afternoon traders!, I will be actively using this platform to journal and share my perspectives on trades to hopefully add value and inner confidence to your very own analyses. To begin with, il be giving my perspective on the DXY because of its validity in helping understanding how USD majors may be performing in relation to the performance of the DXY. So, initially, the higher time frames help to gauge what the trend is and the keys institutional levels that are in play. With the DXY, the dollar index has created progressive momentum towards the upside of 98.00. However, this proved to be a very pivotal and supply zone, this is because of the two previous months, the price was conveying signs of exhaustion around this barrier with two spinning tops which suggest signs of reversal. observing the smaller timeframes, I can see price created the 3rd drive, however, reversed to the downside tapping our trendline. It's likely, that price could make a correction towards the key 98.00 barriers before falling further down towards our outer trendline, with the -61.8% acting as the additional confluence with the key weekly support. The macro sentiment is fueling a lot of negative due to trade wars between China and USA, and on top of that, the negative yield curve which is the key indicator for the US coming recession is something that institutions are keeping in mind, which add further uncertainty.

Weekly market breakdown: DXY analysis DXY showed bearish dominance towards the end of last week due to declining NFP results, which led the price to test a key external trendline, however, if the weekly candle closes above the trendline and sustains this level it's likely that price could make a correction towards the anticipated price region of 97.30-97.60 which is supported by the fib level of 50% to 61.8%. fundamental agenda may validate this price behaviour due to trump lifting the tariffs against Mexico goods and services, this could help soften sentiment around the economic uncertainty due to a trade war between the US and China. however long term projections may be bearish due to 98.00 being a key barrier in which candlestick behaviour has shown many weekly rejections around this region suggesting that a more bearish reversal may be imminent.

market breakdown-GBP/USDthe chart remains simple and tidy, however, there are many different tools to indicate and support our directional bias, in this case, GBP/USD has shown extensive pressure towards the downside, however, the price was unable to penetrate the dynamic area of support 1.26000. Based on previous price action this area showed a lot of liquidity hence why became an area of institutional demand. the two previous weeks price showed a spinning top followed by a pin bar which rejected this region, all indicating that buying orders were being fulfilled and selling power had weakened. My short term target is 1.27000 if this area of intraday resistance is broken we could see mid-term targets of 1.29000 being met which is in confluence with the MA acting as resistance+61.8% fib extension region+ key psych level. Macro sentiment remains neutral due to focus on who will become MP, however, if DXY continues to weaken then GBP will gain ground and induce momentum to the upside. On the Daily time frame, we can see a trendline, if price breaks above the trendline on the 4HR time frame with a bullish engulfing candle it's likely that upside momentum will continue, however, if price does not break the trendline we could see price retest that key 1.26000 zones and look for better entries.

Daytrading Leverage Strategy for Bigger Accounts on Forex[R:R 3]Hello everyone, Many of you wonder how it feels to trade bigger accounts, and keeping it short: stop thinking punctual. Whenever you think I'm buying HERE and getting out exactly THERE. Forget it, never again. There's simply not enough volume for your positions - so what you do? You break it up and you start thinking the final average price. You stop thinking on static numbers and you start considering regions for entry and exit. Larger institutions take WEEKS to close their positions, so I think you get my groove here. It's hard to think tops and bottoms when you need to buy and enter all over the place - the art of market making(but that's a whole other story). So when I started struggling with such a problem, all my strategies were basically at their maximum capital capacity. The main symptom was that my entry limit orders were being filled partially all the time. Since I'm a very thrill guy when it comes down to the strategies I like to have every single step very well written before I start opening positions. Not only entry and exit points but also position sizing are crucial for me. The solution was to break my position in smaller positions that I called ACU's. Let's say we have a 10% ACU, that means that each ACU that I buy that is equivalent of 1/10 of the total position size I initially wanted. The second step was changing my algorithms to things that triggered more often across a zone and not super price and solid signals that trigger only once. So now I'm buying a little bit here and there, with the goal of having a better final average price. Another secret factor for success here is being quick on or fingers or if you're tech savvy enough getting an execution bot for you. Which means you can further break your ACU's across a buying zone. Let's say your buy-zone goes from 1 to 2, you will spread your ACU close to what I'll explain next. Imagine something around 10% of 10% of your total position size, yes only 1% of total Because you will break your ACU in 10 smaller positions across the 1~2 range, similar to this Buy 10% ACU at 1 Buy 10% ACU at 1.1 Buy 10% ACU at 1.2 ... Buy 10% ACU at 2 I know it sucks and it takes time, but the more you break your position is better and I'll tell you why. BECAUSE IT GUARANTEES YOU THE BEST POSSIBLE ENTRY PRICE. The price hardly ever go all the way down to the bottom of the range and if does your avg price will be 1.5 But let's work with MOST of the times, that the lowest it goes on your buy-zone is around 1.3-1.7 It will always allow you to catch the best avg entry price, I know some of your limit orders won't be filled but this makes the risk a lot smaller for you, so be patient and master your greed. This also allows the usage of leverage since operating like this makes you REALLY hard to get liquidated, the tools and the settings I used on Spectro M2 are Xconf on aggressive mode(arrows above/under candles), Spectro Warnings on Moderate(gray warnings), Adaptative Fibonacci Levels( pivot levels) & Scalper Exhaust Reversal Tool(blue background). Also to make the stop-loss rules clear: If the price just touched #1 Target - Do nothing If the price just touched #2 Target - Move up one level If the price just touched #3 Target - Move up SL to #1 target If the price just touched #4 Target - Move up SL to #2 target if you think there will be a break-out otherwise close your position Let me know if you have any doubts!

USDCHF Short - Stop Losses Wiped Out, Sellers In ControlI predicted that the price will reach beyond 1.005 before the trend reverses from the 3-month supply zone but definitely not expecting this kind of movement. It is very irresistible from shorting USDCHF whenever it surfaced above 1.00. What probably has made it even more attractive is the double top pattern formed around 1.002 with its neckline at 1.00, and the neckline was broken. This itself will definitely attract a large volume of sellers because it is just irresistible for many technical traders, isn't it? But who knows, one long spike takes all out - a final attempt to take out all short-sellers by large institutions from my pov. The volume expanded as soon as the price starts to shoot backwards, a very clear sign that the selling strong is taking over the trend in the earliest stage. Nevertheless, it is not very mindful if we just jumped in now and thus one should always have a trading plan to take this opportunity. I will be waiting for the price to retrace to the 618 level of the double top pattern and look for a strong bearish candle/reversal candle to short within the supply zone around 1.001.

INTC: Earnings, 5G and HFT Gap RiskIntel is moving rapidly to capture the 5G market, along with Verizon. This was discussed in detail in our recent annual Virtual Course, this time on Emerging Displacement Technologies for the Next Decade. INTC stock has been struggling at a support level, not moving down much but also without a strong pre-earnings run as many blue chip companies enjoyed. The reason is there are some institutions selling, as seen in rotation patterns and other institutions buying in accumulation patterns. Hence, the trading range pattern on the daily chart. For now the sellers have more dominance, but that can change. The Earnings report is due today after the market close. HFTs are likely to be all over it, which means there is gap risk, and they will trigger either way on earnings news.
