Leap Competition: Top 3% in 5 Days! Here's HowLast competition, I hit the top 2% in the Leap Competition on TradingView. This time, though, something clicked. In just 5 days, I was already back in the top 3%. I didn't change my strategy. Instead I focused on refining how I managed risk. I stopped obsessing over perfect entry points and focused on squeezing as much profit as possible from each trade. That meant shifting to a new management technique. I prioritized a high risk-to-reward ratio, knowing that fewer trades could yield better returns. By using a trailing stop-loss, each trade had room to reach its potential without getting cut off too soon. This approach transformed each trade into a high-upside opportunity, letting winners ride and securing profits along the way. Over the last few days, I made fewer than ten trades. Each one was carefully planned through a top-down approach, looking at the bigger picture on higher timeframes to catch the market’s broader trends. This view kept me aligned with the trend, setting up trades with stronger potential. What really amplified my results, though, was the trailing stop. By locking in profits while riding the market’s momentum, this tool turned profitable trades into standout winners. It let me capture each market move fully without jumping out too soon. Now, let’s get into the top trade that helped me to get into top 3% within less than a week: And here’s the trailing stop-loss indicator I’m using—perfect for trades with room to run: //@version=5 indicator("Swing Low Trailing Stop", overlay=true) // User Inputs initialStopPercentage = input.float(0.5, title="Initial Stop Loss Percentage", minval=0.01, step=0.01) * 0.01 Swing_Period = input.int(10, "Swing Period") i_date = input.time(timestamp("05 Nov 2024 00:00 +0300"), "Start Date") // Variables for tracking stop loss var float stopLossPrice = na var float lastSwingLow = na // Calculate Swing Low swingLow = ta.lowest(low, Swing_Period) // Logic if i_date == time stopLossPrice := low * (1 - initialStopPercentage) lastSwingLow := swingLow // Update Stop Loss if time > i_date newSwingLow = swingLow if (newSwingLow > lastSwingLow ) stopLossPrice := math.max(stopLossPrice, newSwingLow) lastSwingLow := newSwingLow // Plot the stop loss price for visualization plot(time >= i_date ? stopLossPrice : na, title="Trailing Stop Loss", color=color.red, linewidth=2, style=plot.style_linebr) With this refined approach, I can’t wait for next week and the fresh opportunities that lie ahead! Big thanks to the TradingView community for creating opportunities like this competition—it’s a game-changer. Getting to test and refine strategies in a real, competitive environment pushes all o us to get better every day! If you haven’t joined already, make sure to hop into the competition .

SPX500, JP225, DE30. Analysis for CompetitorsHello traders and investors! Over 55,000 traders have registered for The Leap paper trading competition. The assets in the competition include SPX500, JP225, and DE30. This analysis may help in making the right decision. Weekly Timeframe Analysis: All three indices interacted on the daily timeframe with the level at the base of the last buyer's impulse on the weekly timeframe: SPX500 at 5193.1, JP225 at 36375.7, and DE30 at 17479. On Friday, when the weekly candles close, we will know the results of this interaction. Daily Timeframe Analysis: SPX500 and JP225 are in a downtrend. The start of the latest seller impulses are 5571.8 and 39090.9 respectively. JP225: Today, the price is interacting with 50% of the last seller impulse (34798.4). We are observing the seller's reaction. If the seller does not show strength, we wait for the price to interact with the weekly level 36375.7, where selling opportunities can also be found. There is currently no context for buying on the daily timeframe. SPX500: The price is still on its way to 50% of the last seller impulse (5333). Note that the 50% level of the last seller impulse (5333) almost coincides with the upper boundary of the price gap (candle from 02.08.24, its close is 5333.6). I anticipate that we will see a seller's reaction at these levels, and it is advisable to look for selling opportunities. If the seller does not show strength, the next significant resistance for the buyer's movement is 5398.6 (the minimum of the penultimate seller impulse), where selling opportunities can also be found. There is currently no context for buying on the daily timeframe. DE30: The situation is different. The price has formed a sideways movement, with the upper boundary at 18796.5 and the lower boundary at 17941. The seller in the 6-7 vector of the sideways movement has moved below the lower boundary. Note that the 50% level of the seller's impulse (17909.5) and the lower boundary of the sideways movement (17941) almost coincide. It is advisable to look for selling opportunities at these levels. There is currently no context for buying on the daily timeframe. Hourly Timeframe Analysis: JP225: On the hourly timeframe, there is an uptrend. The start of the latest buyer impulse is 32793.4. The key candle of the impulse is at its end (the candle with the highest volume in the impulse, marked on the chart "KC"). Buying opportunities can be considered from the buyer's defense of the range 34282 - 34798 or after the formation of a new buyer impulse from buyer zones within this impulse. Keep in mind that there is a downtrend on the daily timeframe. If the seller engulfs the key candle of the impulse, it will provide context for looking for selling opportunities. SPX500: The price has formed a sideways movement, with the upper boundary at 5318.9 and the lower boundary at 5198.6. The upper boundary is slightly below the daily levels (5333 and 5333.6). Within the sideways movement, it is advisable to look for selling opportunities from the upper boundary and buying opportunities from the lower boundary. Selling opportunities can be considered if the seller defends the upper boundary of the sideways movement, interacting with the daily levels. Buying opportunities can be considered from the buyer's defense of the lower boundary of the sideways movement, in the range of 5198 - 5215. Keep in mind that there is a downtrend on the daily timeframe. DE30: The buyer has not yet managed to start an uptrend on the hourly timeframe. We only see one impulse so far. The price has already interacted with 50% of the latest buyer impulse, but the buyer has not yet managed to form a new impulse (an hourly candle closing above 17569). There is no clear context for buying or selling on the hourly timeframe at the moment. If we consider the 2-hour timeframe, selling opportunities can be looked for from the upper boundary of the sideways movement in the range of 17647.6 - 17731.2. Buying opportunities can be considered after the price breaks upwards out of the sideways movement and the buyer defends this breakout.

XAUUSD. The Leap. Where will the price go?Hi traders and investors! More than 13,000 traders have registered for The Leap paper trading competition. One of the assets of the competition is XAUUSD. Perhaps this analysis will help you make the right decision (the SPX500 analysis is available in the linked idea). In a related idea, XAUUSD predicted that if the buyer defends the $2378 - $2383 range, then the likelihood of the buyer reaching $2431.59 and $2450.125 will increase. The buyer has reached $2450.125, time to update the analysis. Daily Timeframe Analysis: On the daily TF, the price formed a sideways pattern, now the current seller vector is 7-8 with potential targets of $2286.83, $2277.345. The seller's vector interacted with the first obstacle of $2391.520, where the buyer won, forming a buyer's zone (blue rectangle on the chart, upper limit $2401.31). The volume of the seller's candle from July 25, which was absorbed by the buyer, is the largest in the last 3 months. Now the price has reached the upper limit of the sideways trend at $2450.125. Let's note the surge in volume on the buyer's candle from July 31 and the closing of this candle above the test of the seller's zone ($2432.065) at the upper border of the sideways band (red rectangle on the chart). Now all attention is focused on the struggle between buyer and seller for the level of $2432.065. To consider the fight, let's consider the lower TF. Hourly Timeframe Analysis: On the hourly TF, the price formed a sideways pattern near the upper bounder of the sideways trend of the daily TF. $2437.32 is the lower bounder of the sideways trend, $2458.465 is the upper bounder of the sideways trend. Selling opportunities: If the price exits the sideways trend downwards, below $2432.065, and the seller protects this exit, you can look for selling opportunities. The goal is to choose the closest one and follow the deal (monitor how the price passes the range of 2428-2419). Buying opportunities: If the buyer protects the lower border of the sidebar (up to $2432.065), you can look for buying opportunities. The goal is the upper limit of the hourly sideways trend and possibly a new ATH.

What Traders and Rock Climbers Have in Common!This post is inspired by @TradingView's rebranding in 2021 and the recent Leap competition. At first glance, trading and rock climbing might seem worlds apart. One involves analyzing market trends, while the other requires physical strength and agility. However, both pursuits share surprising similarities, highlighting unique skills and mindsets. Here’s a look at what traders and rock climbers have in common. ⚙️ Risk Management: Both traders and rock climbers excel at managing risk. Traders use strategies like stop-loss orders and portfolio diversification to protect their capital. Rock climbers assess risks, use safety equipment, and plan routes to avoid danger. Effective risk management is crucial in both fields to prevent catastrophic outcomes. 💡Mental Toughness: Traders face market fluctuations and must make quick decisions under pressure. Rock climbers need to stay focused and composed while navigating challenging routes. Both activities demand mental resilience to overcome fear, maintain focus, and make calculated decisions. 📊 Strategic Planning: Success in trading and rock climbing involves strategic planning. Traders develop strategies based on market analysis and economic indicators, while rock climbers meticulously plan their ascents, studying routes and assessing conditions. Strategic planning helps achieve goals efficiently in both areas. ⚖️ Adaptability: Adaptability is key for both traders and rock climbers. Market conditions can change rapidly, requiring traders to adjust their strategies. Rock climbers face changing conditions like weather and rock quality, adapting their techniques to overcome obstacles and reach their objectives. 📜 Continuous Learning: Both traders and rock climbers are committed to continuous learning. Traders stay updated on market trends and new tools, while rock climbers seek to improve their skills and stay informed about gear and safety practices. The pursuit of knowledge drives success in both fields. 🧘‍♂️ Focus on Execution: Execution is crucial in trading and rock climbing. Traders need precision, timing, and discipline to execute trades effectively. Rock climbers must execute their moves with precision and confidence to progress safely. The ability to execute under pressure is essential for success in both activities. 🔄Passion and Commitment: Passion and commitment are integral to both trading and rock climbing. Traders have a deep interest in financial markets, while rock climbers are driven by their love for the sport and adventure. This passion fuels their dedication, driving them to invest time and effort into their pursuits. 🧗‍♀️ Conclusion: Despite their apparent differences, trading and rock climbing share many commonalities. Both require effective risk management, mental toughness, strategic planning, adaptability, continuous learning, focus on execution, and a deep-seated passion. Recognizing these parallels can provide valuable insights and inspiration for those engaged in either pursuit, highlighting the universal qualities that drive success in diverse fields. 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Richard Nasr

$STZ — Diagonal Calendar Put Spread?This price forecast is purely based on technical analysis of the current setup. I guess people are drinking a lot? We've had an extremely long stretch of green - which is a stale green light - 11 days in a row of green & 6 weeks straight of green - that hasn't happened since 2017 - it looks like the stock is trying to breakout on the weekly chart, but it looks so overbought technically speaking - very wide divergence from the all of the moving averages. This is a great candidate for a diagonal calendar put spread , or just naked put buys. I'm considering buying a very far out put - possibly January 2023 - and selling near-month puts against it with the goal of both having my bought put appreciate in value and have the sold near-month puts degrade in value so I can either buy them back for cheap or let them expire worthless. If I am able to successfully roll in near-month credits against my bought strike then I can slowly pay off the position's debit & eventually have a risk-free position. In other words, if I make enough money from selling puts - against the bought out of the money & far dated puts - then I can completely pay off the cost of the puts I bought while still owning them - creates a risk free position. Let me know if this is a confusing strategy for any of you, or if you disagree with my analysis.

$ZM/Zoom Wedge brokenWe see a demand base at $345-$280 blocking the price to drop as a result of the falling wedge caused by the Q3-4 transition. After the stock jumps above the wedge (breaking the trend, see red circle), we see it respecting & hovering around the 382 support established and respected at the following dates (10th December '20, 16th November '20, 10th November '20, 10th September '20, and the 11th September '20) - the price adjusts above and below the support, before starting to push upwards - showing that it *is* being used as a support and not a resistance level. I can see the stock reaching (at least) the dotted blue line as it was used as a resistance in September and December '20 but was also used as a support back in late September and early October '20.

Bullish SharkLeap is looking to make another leap. Harmonic shark patterns leave more room for volatility trades and make for high reward scenario's when traded correctly. As of today (09-04-2019), 84,220 of the 261,828 shares traded where short. This is equivalent to a sizable 32.17% short percent. The technical's are now aligning with some key dates with a potential short squeeze on its way (assuming good data). $LPTX is trading at the lower end of the long-term trading range. Bullish harmonic shark pattern, look for profit taking and/ or chances to add at the 382 and 50 retracement levels to ride up to the top of the range. Not only does this trade have massive upside potential for a swing trade, it is also showing confluence with Fibonacci time-cycles, fib-retracement and trend. Tip of the day: Learning how to be disciplined is vital to trading volatility. Follow our trading team for ideas on how to stay more disciplined in biotech. Disclosure: I have no position in LPTX. I may buy or sell in the next 72 hours. This is not a note to but or sell. Please do your homework before investing.
