EURUSD - BreakdownApologies video is a bit rushed. Wanted to get it done before the weekend arrived. There's so much more to this video and entry reason that I have left out unintentionally like the fact we swept the Asia lows before creating a BoS. There are also a few other things like I have left out but without looking at the chart right now I cannot remember off the top of my head. I will post the idea of this trade below so you can see that I was taking it before it played out. Hope you all have a great weekend and a better trading week than you had this week. Enjoy P.S if you have any questions please do message

EURUSD, GBPUSD - Outlook for next weekEURUSD - So we have 2x 4 hour POI's (Points Of Interest). Will be looking at potential reversals at both POI's however, within the first POI we have an area of potential liquidity that could look to be taken before we make out move back to the upside. Therefor, the second POI could look to be our more solid option for our buying options at some point next week. GBPUSD - This pair looks to be building its liquidity now for potential trades to the upside as today on the lower TF's it was setting quite a few traps for the potential longs and the traders that would have been shorting the breaks below structure to the left. If you have any questions for me please do let me know

AUDUSD swing sellI identified a break in the uptrend structure on the 1-minute timeframe at the 0.6321 level, indicating a possible shift in market direction. Upon confirmation, I entered a sell position at this level, anticipating a further decline. My target profit is set at 0.6169, aligning with a key support level. To manage risk, I placed a stop-loss above the recent swing high to limit potential losses if the price moves against my position. This trade is based on a structural shift in market momentum, aiming to capitalize on a bearish move following the breakdown of the uptrend.

2025 ICT Mentorship: Premium & Discount Price Delivery Intro2025 ICT Mentorship: Lecture 4_Premium & Discount Price Delivery Intro Greetings Traders! In this video, we dive into the fundamental concept of Premium and Discount Price Delivery—a crucial aspect of smart money trading that helps us understand how institutions approach the market with precision and efficiency. Understanding Currency Pairs Before we explore premium and discount dynamics, it's essential to grasp the basics of currency pairs. A currency pair, like EUR/USD or GBP/USD, represents the value of one currency against another. For example, EUR/USD shows how many U.S. dollars (the quote currency) are needed to purchase one euro (the base currency). Just like any other tradable asset, currency pairs fluctuate in value due to various economic and market factors. Trading Is Part of Everyday Life Believe it or not, everyone in the world is a trader. Whether you're buying groceries at a store or negotiating for goods and services, you're participating in trading activities daily. Some people aim to purchase items at a discount, while others can afford to pay a premium—it’s simply part of life. However, banks and financial institutions take trading to another level. They don’t just trade haphazardly—they operate with extreme precision, aiming to make high-quality investments by executing trades at premium prices and targeting discount levels. This strategic approach allows them to capitalize on market inefficiencies and ensure profitable outcomes. Why Premium and Discount Matter? The concept of premium and discount price delivery is foundational for understanding how the market moves. By recognizing where the market is trading at a premium (overvalued) versus a discount (undervalued), traders can make more informed decisions and align their strategies with institutional order flow. Stay tuned as we break down how to identify these zones on a chart and how to incorporate them into your trading strategy.

HOW And WHY The Markets MoveIn this video I explain HOW and WHY the markets move. At it's core, trading is a zero-sum game, meaning that nothing is created. There must always be a counter-party to any trade, after all it is called "trading". Because of this, liquidity is the lifeblood of the market and it is what is required by all participants, albeit more for the larger entities out there. In order for these larger entities to trade, they must do so in stages of buying and selling, and not all in one single position like we do as retail traders. They buy on the way down, and sell on the way up, throughout many different time horizons. Therefore, they require price to be delivered efficiently in order to sustain this working machine. I hope you find the video somewhat insightful. Regardless of your beliefs, I think it can be agreed that these two principles are what drives the marketplace and it's movements. - R2F

Pure Price Action Top Down Analysis of EURUSD2023 saw EU create a bullish opening range in H1, and H2 2023 opened only to raid stop orders from early trading that year before expanding to the upside. This PA created a bullish range which was retraced to the demand zone left in the wake of that previous expansion in April 2024, leaving behind what I suppose should be the low of the year. The Fiber has since continued bullish but appears to be stalling now in order to gather further internal bullish liquidity (SSL) to garner enough momentum for the move towards the BSL from 2022. Anticipation here is to capitalize on the bullish continuation towards the liquidity above the current dealing range but we are also aware of internal levels price might bounce from before that reversal happens. As EU approaches the nearest demand, we anticipate it could find support there for a retracement of the recent selloff experienced which potentially can be a decent opportunity to go long momentarily. Ultimately, the lower demand zone below the SSL(1.071) is where we expect to see major longs come in. Feel free to leave comments, reviews and criticisms, we look forward to building a very strong community of price action wizards with you all. GLGT, LloydFx

Unlock the Market's Hidden Rollercoaster: How to Ride the WavesXau/Usd Review with my trading personality As a Whimsical Rollercoaster Enthusiast, your trading style is likely driven by the excitement of quick market movements and the thrill of capturing early trades. You're probably someone who thrives on dynamic entries, enjoys the fast-paced action, and may have a more intuitive approach to the market. Let’s blend that with risk management to balance your adventurous spirit while still keeping a solid trading plan. Technical Review for a Whimsical Rollercoaster Trader: 1. Key Levels to Watch: 2,595 (Resistance) and 2,580 (Support) are your playgrounds right now. You’re drawn to the thrill of what might happen at these zones. If price pushes toward 2,595, you might feel an urge to jump in, expecting an immediate reaction. However, I encourage you to: Embrace your adventurous nature but temper it with tactical precision. Let the level hit and then wait for a quick confirmation (like a wick rejection or a mini pullback). This gives you both the excitement of early entry and higher probability without losing your edge. Scenario: Price pushes toward 2,595. Here, your Risk Entry could be triggered: Risk-Entry Plan: Enter short at the first rejection of 2,595. Set a tight stop-loss just above the liquidity zone (2,600), respecting your love for quick moves but protecting from being shaken out too soon. Target the 2,580 area first, knowing the ride might be wild but worth it. Why it suits you: It’s a quick decision, satisfying your need for speed, while the tight stop-loss aligns with managing risk. You get that thrill, but within guardrails. 2. Confirmation Entry – Building Momentum: Confirmation Entries might feel a bit “slow” to you, but they can help ensure you stay in the game longer. Consider them when you want to ride bigger moves, not just quick scalp trades. Scenario: If price breaks through 2,595, wait for a retest to confirm this zone is now support. Here’s where you bring in your whimsical nature: instead of waiting too long, spot a smaller timeframe pattern, like a bullish engulfing candle or a rejection wick, and go long. Confirmation-Entry Plan: Enter long at the retest of 2,595 after a clear rejection pattern. Think of it as waiting for the next loop on the rollercoaster — the bigger move is coming, and you want to be on board for it. Set a slightly wider stop-loss, maybe under 2,580, to allow the trade to develop without getting knocked out early. Aim for the next higher liquidity zones, like 2,600 or 2,615. Why it suits you: This method still lets you catch the excitement of a momentum breakout, but the confirmation gives you more confidence. You still get the rush but with less risk of getting thrown out before the big move. 3. Patterns Within Patterns – Your Playground: As a Whimsical Rollercoaster Enthusiast, you probably love when the market shows intricate patterns — they're like hidden rollercoaster tracks, revealing sudden twists and turns. Scenario: If price breaks above 2,595, zoom into lower time frames and look for miniature patterns within the broader trend. You might find a bull flag within a larger ascending channel. Entering on these small corrective patterns can satisfy your need for fast-paced decision-making while riding the overall trend​. Plan: Use these smaller patterns for quick entries. Set your stops just outside the pattern, and take profits quickly as the price breaks out. Think of it as riding the small waves, but always looking for the bigger momentum move to follow. Why it suits you: You’re jumping in on short-term opportunities while always keeping an eye on the next big move. This keeps you engaged and allows you to take action when you feel that burst of adrenaline without losing sight of the bigger picture. 4. Managing Whimsical Risk: Stop-loss flexibility: As someone who enjoys spontaneity, a tight stop might feel restrictive but necessary. Here’s the compromise: Set initial stops tight (like just above 2,595 if shorting), but allow yourself room to evolve the trade based on market action. If the trade moves in your favor, quickly move the stop to breakeven. Mental Resilience: Losses will happen, but you need that mental discipline to jump back in without chasing every tick. Treat each trade like a separate rollercoaster ride — whether it’s a good or bad one, there’s always another one coming. Use your intuition and excitement to recognize evolving setups. But keep a few rules in place to avoid the pitfalls of impulsivity (e.g., no more than 3 trades per day on a single idea to avoid over-trading). 5. Incorporating the Rule of Three: For the rollercoaster trader, the Rule of Three is your ultimate guide. This rule asks you to identify at least three confirming factors before entering a trade​: Scenario: Price reaches 2,595: You see a rejection (touch #1). The lower time frame shows consolidation or a mini bear flag (touch #2). Momentum begins to fade (touch #3). Action: This triple confirmation allows you to short confidently, knowing you have the right mix of signals to back your bold entry. Why it suits you: The Rule of Three still gives you the excitement of quickly entering trades but ensures they are high-probability setups. It prevents you from overtrading out of sheer excitement while still letting you capture those thrilling moves. Summary Action Plan for a Whimsical Rollercoaster Trader: Risk Entry: When you feel the market is ready to react at key levels (like 2,595), dive in! But do it smartly — use tight stop-losses and a quick decision-making process. Think of it as jumping onto the coaster right before it starts moving. Confirmation Entry: Use this when you're looking for a bigger, smoother ride. Wait for the breakout-retest combo, then get in for the larger trend move. Stay patient here; it’s worth the wait. Patterns within Patterns: Zoom into the mini rollercoasters inside the bigger structure. Catch the small waves but keep your eyes on the longer ride. Trinity Rule : Ensure three factors align before entering. This rule keeps you disciplined while still embracing your whimsical nature.

XAU/USD Strategy: Pattern Recognition and Trade ExecutionComprehensive Market Breakdown for XAU/USD (Gold Spot) Based on Multi-Time Frame Analysis Overview: The analysis of XAU/USD across multiple time frames (15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour) indicates a complex market structure with both bullish and bearish signals. This detailed breakdown will provide insights into the current market conditions, key patterns to watch, potential trading strategies, and risk management considerations. 1. 15-Minute Time Frame: Symmetrical Triangle Pattern Pattern Details: Symmetrical Triangle: This pattern is characterized by converging trend lines connecting lower highs and higher lows, indicating indecision in the market. Apex Proximity: The price is nearing the apex of the triangle, suggesting a potential breakout is imminent. Implications: Neutral Bias: The symmetrical triangle does not inherently suggest a bullish or bearish bias but indicates a potential breakout in either direction depending on market sentiment. Volume Confirmation: A breakout with a significant surge in volume will confirm the direction of the move. Trading Strategy: Bullish Breakout: If the price breaks above the upper trendline with strong volume, consider entering long positions targeting previous resistance levels. Bearish Breakout: Conversely, if the price breaks below the lower trendline with increased volume, consider short positions targeting previous support levels. Stop-Loss Placement: Place stops just outside the opposite side of the breakout point to mitigate risks from false breakouts. 2. 30-Minute Time Frame: Mixed Channels (Descending and Ascending) Patterns Observed: Descending Channels: Suggest bearish continuation if in a downtrend or a potential reversal if broken to the upside. Ascending Channels: Suggest bullish continuation if in an uptrend but signal a potential reversal if broken to the downside. Market Implications: Corrective Phase: The presence of both descending and ascending channels indicates the market is in a corrective phase, oscillating between support and resistance levels. Range-Bound Trading: Until a significant breakout occurs, the market is likely to remain range-bound. Trading Strategy: Range Trading: Consider buying at the lower boundaries of the channels and selling at the upper boundaries. Breakout Preparation: Prepare for a potential breakout by setting alerts around key levels (upper and lower boundaries of the channels). Stop-Loss Placement: Place stops just outside the channels to protect against unexpected breakouts. 3. 1-Hour Time Frame: Rising Wedge Pattern Pattern Details: Rising Wedge: This pattern is characterized by higher highs and higher lows within a narrowing upward slope, typically a bearish reversal pattern. Implications: Bearish Reversal: The rising wedge suggests that upward momentum is weakening, and a potential breakdown could follow. Reversal Zone: The price is near the upper boundary of the wedge, which may serve as a reversal zone, especially if a breakout to the downside occurs on high volume. Trading Strategy: Short Entry on Breakdown: Enter short positions if the price breaks below the lower trendline of the wedge with confirming volume. Target Levels: Target the lower boundary of the larger ascending channel or previous support levels as take-profit points. Stop-Loss Placement: Set stops above the most recent high within the wedge to protect against false breakouts. 4. 4-Hour Time Frame: Broader Rising Channel and Nested Patterns Patterns Observed: Broad Rising Channel: Indicates a larger uptrend is intact, providing a bullish bias. Nested Descending Channels: Smaller corrective patterns within the broader uptrend suggest temporary pauses or consolidation phases before potential continuation moves. Key Levels to Watch: Resistance at 2,540: A break above this level would suggest a bullish continuation and potential for new highs. Support at 2,470: A break below this level would indicate a significant shift in market sentiment towards bearishness. Market Implications: Potential Continuation or Reversal: The larger rising channel gives more weight to potential continuation moves, but the presence of smaller corrective patterns within suggests caution. Echo Phase: The nested descending channel could represent an echo phase, a corrective move within the larger uptrend. Trading Strategy: Long Positions on Break Above 2,540: Enter long positions if the price breaks above this resistance level with confirming volume. Short Positions on Break Below 2,470: Consider short positions if the price breaks below this support level with increased volume. Volume Confirmation: Ensure any breakout is confirmed with a surge in volume to avoid false signals. Risk Management: Use wider stops given the higher time frame context to avoid being stopped out by market noise. 5. Synthesis of Multi-Time Frame Analysis: Confluence of Patterns: The alignment of rising wedges, symmetrical triangles, and mixed channels across multiple time frames suggests a market at a critical juncture. The presence of both bullish and bearish signals indicates that the market is poised for a decisive move. Key Takeaways for Traders: Patience and Discipline: Wait for confirmed breakouts with volume before entering trades. Do not rush into trades without sufficient confirmation. Adaptability: Be prepared to adapt strategies based on the direction of the breakout or breakdown. Use alerts and monitor key levels closely. Focus on Higher Time Frame Signals: Higher time frame signals carry more weight and should be given priority when making trading decisions. Risk Management: Employ tight stops and carefully manage position sizes to limit exposure in case of adverse market movements. 6. Final Recommendations: Potential Bullish Scenario: Watch for a break above 2,540 on strong volume across multiple time frames. A confirmed breakout could lead to a bullish continuation towards new highs. Potential Bearish Scenario: Monitor for a breakdown below 2,470, especially if supported by a break of the rising wedge and descending channel patterns. A breakdown here would signal a shift to a bearish trend. By combining these insights with real-time monitoring of market conditions, traders can enhance their decision-making process and capitalize on high-probability trade setups in the XAU/USD market.

Gold Teeters on the Edge: Major Reversal or Breakout?The charts provided for XAU/USD (Gold Spot) on various time frames present a comprehensive analysis scenario where several key patterns and zones align across different time frames. Analysis Breakdown: 1. **Daily Time Frame (1st Chart):** - Rising Wedge Pattern: This is typically a bearish reversal pattern, especially when it forms after a significant uptrend. The price is nearing the upper boundary of this wedge. - Daily Liquidity Zone (LQZ) at ~2,484, The price is within a critical liquidity zone. This zone often acts as a magnet for price action, where significant buying or selling can occur. A reaction here could signal a reversal, particularly since it aligns with the top of the wedge. 2. 4-Hour Time Frame (2nd Chart): - Continuation of the Rising Wedge: The 4-hour chart mirrors the daily chart, emphasizing the wedge pattern's significance. The price is testing the upper boundary of this wedge, which could result in a breakout or a reversal. - Confluence at LQZ: The price is closely interacting with the daily LQZ, reinforcing its importance. Multiple touches near this area might suggest either absorption of liquidity before a breakout or a potential exhaustion leading to a pullback. 3. 1-Hour Time Frame (3rd Chart): - Bearish Flag Structures: Two bearish flags are visible, which are typically continuation patterns indicating the possibility of a downward move. These have occurred within the broader rising wedge. - Approach to Key Resistance: The price is at a critical juncture where the rising wedge's upper boundary coincides with a strong resistance level. 4. 15-Minute Time Frame (4th Chart): - Breakout and Retest Scenario: On the lowest time frame, a breakout from the bearish flag is evident, with the price retesting the structure's top. This may indicate either a continuation to the upside or a failure and reversal, depending on how it interacts with the liquidity zone above. Potential Trading Scenarios: - Reversal Scenario: Given the rising wedge pattern and its bearish implications, combined with the proximity to a significant liquidity zone, there's a strong potential for a reversal. Watch for a clear bearish signal on the 4-hour or daily chart, such as a bearish engulfing candle, which could confirm the reversal. A break below the wedge's lower boundary would be a stronger confirmation. - Breakout Scenario: If the price breaks above the wedge's upper boundary and holds, especially on the daily chart, it could signal a continuation of the uptrend. However, be cautious of potential false breakouts, especially around such strong resistance and liquidity zones. - Entry Considerations: If considering a short entry, look for a rejection from the LQZ on the 4-hour or 1-hour chart, ideally supported by bearish confirmation patterns (e.g., engulfing candles, pin bars). A reduced-risk entry could be taken on a lower time frame after the breakout and retest of the wedge or flag structure.
