Market Volatility The vix indicates how volatile the market currently is. Right now, the VIX is sitting at 14.40. A neutral market is indicated by a vix being at 17. Since the vix is sitting on the low end, we should continue to see the market stay relatively safe. However, with all the ongoing issues of a slowing global growth, trade, and poor economic data, it would be best to keep your risk appetite low until things smooth over. The VIX is currently trading below the 50 EMA and 200 EMA.

Learn how to fish Support orange arrows. Resistance purple arrows. Who says you cant see trade setups just using zones and levels? It looks pretty simple to me, You can see how strongly this zone is respected from where price has entered our zone and then bounced ( marked by arrows ) Now it seems pretty clear to us where price is heading and we haven't got any indicators on our charts at all, just clean fresh charts.... quick someone call the FOREX POLICE because we must be committing a crime as everywhere we look we see stupid charts that look like a 5 year old has drawn on them... These charts may work for the person using them but they are also used to try and confuse people into thinking that trading is hard so they will pay for help from this person. Yes we sell high quality signals, but honestly we would rather people learnt to trade themselves, this is why we don't over complicate charts... YOU CAN GIVE A HUNGRY MAN A FISH TO CURE HIS HUNGER FOR A FEW HOURS... OR YOU CAN TEACH HIM HOW TO FISH SO HE CAN EAT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. We prefer to show people how to fish if you get my drift ;)

Keep charts simple... Dont let them fool youORANGE ARROWS - SUPPORT PURPLE ARROWS - RESISTANCE Look at the chart and tell me that support and resistance and supply and demand zones are not the way to trade, then I will tell you to folk off ;p As you can see that every time price entered into one of our zones it bounced or if it did break it made a big move, the same happened with our support/resistance line... Come on people it really doesn't take a genius to work this stuff out! Find a strong area/zone of support and resistance, place them on your charts and price will respect them time and time again for years to come, this gives you a head start over the market, you see peoples charts that look like an artist has thrown up over them, charts with more lines on than a table at a wall street office party :p.... These indicators only confuse you and stop you seeing what's going on, look at our charts they are nice and clean and you can spot setups easy. Keep it simple and you will succeed, confuse things and the market will destroy you.

Using A Manual Stop Loss For Beginners @alanmasters (Learning)Hello my dear supporter, Alan Masters here and I want to share a few details about stop losses, the different types and how to better interpret them to maximize potential profits and reduce potential losses when trading with me. Manual Stop Losses Right now we are using what I call a "manual stop loss" and I will explain to you why. Trading cryptocurrency isn't that easy, conventional markets are way easier to trade. Here the cycles are faster and the bots are more advanced, there are many ways that beginners can get lost in the simple actions that are: buy, sell and hold. The purpose of a stop loss is to close a trade if the trend changes or is certain to change. Meaning, if we are aiming for a target to the upside and the price of an altcoin starts to go down, we close our trade when we confirm that the price will continue falling rather than bounce and go up. This confirmation normally happens where we analysts place our stop loss. Now, it happens that the same place where a change of trend can be confirmed is also where support is found, in the example above. So imagine the price of the altcoin you are trading quickly going down and hitting support. A conventional stop loss would get activated and you lose your money, but with a manual stop loss, you don't close the trade unless the candle closes below the stop loss price. So in the case that the price is hit but quickly bounces, then there is no need to close the trade as the uptrend will be resumed. I will share some charts to make it easier to understand why we use a manual stop loss. First example: Imagine your stop loss is set at $3579. BTCUSD goes down and hits this price, your trade is stopped and you lose money, but the price quickly bounces up. With the manual stop loss, you would have to have the candle close below $3579, meaning at least $3578. And the candle on the chart above would look completely red/yellow (negative). This manual stop loss requires more work as it needs to be checked manually, but this is something necessary when trading crypto as the markets are very volatile. Other types of stop loss The basic stop loss is the one where your trade gets closed as soon as a certain price level is hit. If you use this type of stop loss when trading cryptocurrency, I would suggest placing the stop loss at least 5-8% below the actual support. One final strategy to take your stop loss effort even further, more advanced, is the full candle close below support. This is a method that I highly recommend as well. For some people it isn't enough to close below support to confirm the trend change, they expect to see a full candle close below support before closing their trades. Taking it even further, you can look for big volume and any type of bearish candlestick or candlestick pattern for additional confirmation. Piece of advice We use a stop loss in order to avoid losing money in the case our trade goes wrong. The stop loss is not meant to indicate if the trade is active or not, or if I got it right or wrong... That's not the purpose, we are here to make money. If you are trading and learning you can always adapt to the moment and make your own decisions based on what you see and not what is written. For example, if a stop loss is hit by 3 satoshis or few cents (in USD) but you notice that the price will move back up, you can keep your trade. The purpose of the stop loss is to cut your loses but not to close a valid trade. So take into consideration the market, the charts, signals and everything that is going on. You can also contact me and send me the PAIR you are looking at and I will be happy to help. For beginners, you can simply follow our trade instructions and start creating your own strategy as you get used to these markets. Thanks a lot for reading. Namaste.

Technical Analysis 101!!SELF DEVELOPMENT/METHODOLOGY/PSYCHOLOGY Technical Analysis 101!! Interpreting the candlestick This type of chart is an extension of the bar chart as discussed and is actively utilised by the investors in China for more than 500 years of time period. It helps in providing the information regarding open, close, low and high in the dimensional format. It can be seen that the vertical axis of the chart helps in providing information on the prices of the FOREX whereas the horizontal axis represents the time period. The white candles are the representation of the advances of the currency and the black candles, on the other hand, represents the decline in the value of the FOREX. Moreover, the body denotes the thick portion of the candle, and the vertical line represents the wick. This chart helps the investor to forecast the future price movement of the FOREX. b) Charting systems In the mind of a few people, charts are the exemplary image of the trader’s speciality.

BTC Bullish Falling WedgeI'm learning to trade to forgive me if i'm totally wrong. To me this seems like a falling wedge, all the signs seem to point toward it. Oktober has been a month where bitcoin turns around so i'm hoping to see this happen around 15th of oktober. Also if we make one more lower low there will be a lot of shorting going on which can trigger a massive short squeeze when price picks up even a little, leading up to a lot of buying volume which will confirm the pattern. Anyone care to comment?

Appen Prediction (ASX:APX)Good morning all, Here is my personal opinion on the future of the heavily publicised, machine learning company, Appen. By looking at the trend line across a history of lows it shows that the position we are currently in is quite a major moment. In my opinion 1 of the 2 options below will occur: Option 1: Price bounces back, bottoming at around $11.15 before rising back up on another wave Option 2: Price continues downfall, breaks trend line and retests supports at the $10 mark Disclaimer: Please take all of my ideas with a grain of salt as these are mostly for me to look back and reflect so I can learn and grow as a trader :) Wishing a good day to you all, Kyle
