DeGRAM | GBPAUD breakout support. Short to 1.84The currency pair breaks the ascending channel downwards and was followed by the breaking through the support level of 1.8598. The uptrend is broken and most likely it makes sense to expect a fall. I think there will be a fight for the level, and if the price after that manages to gain a foothold below the support level of 1.8598, then most likely there will be a fall to the level of 1.8424 ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with Like.

TRADING PRINCIPLES THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. PART 2.Hello traders! Today we will continue to explore the principles that every trader should know and do. READ THE NEWS. The impact of news on ALL markets is enormous. Every news can turn the market against you and break any trading plan. Read news, professional analytics, reports, any information that may be useful. You should always be up to date with the latest news in order to correctly assess future movements. MAKE A TRADING PLAN. Every trader should have a well-built strategy and a clear plan of action. Before each trading session, the trader analyzes the market and outlines the possible direction of the market and opportunities for opening positions. Even before the market opens, you should be ready and know what you will do. After each trading day, you have to analyze positions and work on mistakes. BE RESTRAINED AND DISCIPLINED. Do not give in to emotions. Don't go into a new position often. Don't change your mind every five minutes. Don't forget about the risks! A good strategy will help you not to drown in this emotional storm. ACCEPT YOUR LOSSES AND MOVE ON. There are thousands of profit opportunities on the market every day. But if you lose all your money in the pursuit of winning back the lost money, you will not have the opportunity to trade for a long time and will not have the opportunity to become a successful trader. Trading is a long distance where you need to be able to stay on track, be able to accept losses and move on. Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩💻

UNSUCCESSFUL vs. SUCCESSFUL TRADERUnsuccessful Trader You are trading without a Specific Trading Strategy The main reason for opening positions for you is not clear strategy rules, but your own intuition. And even after several failures, you continue to repeat your mistakes due to the lack of discipline and the lack of a trader's trading journal. You often over-trade and get Margin Calls Your instincts make you trade too much, open new positions again and again, forgetting about the risk and thus getting frequent margin calls. Because of such disorderly market entries, you become very emotional, lose control and lose money quickly. You get attached to Open Positions Following your own emotions, you often hold on to an open position for too long, hoping that the profit will become even greater, while forgetting about the take profit that you set yourself. As a result, a profitable position becomes unprofitable, and you begin to believe and expect that it will become profitable again, overstaying the unprofitable position. You're Too Emotional Your mood changes with every price reversal. Forgetting about the analysis, you often open new positions and lose more than your risk management can afford. Successful Trader You have an Effective Trading Plan You have written on a piece of paper a strategy of actions for any market situation and always follow the rules prescribed in the strategy. You often analyze your trades in a trade journal and always remember your mistakes and hits. You Understand What Risk Is You have clear rules of risk management. Even before opening a position, you know how much you can lose in this trade and do not lose more than allowed by the rules of risk management. You don't move your stop loss and you don't act emotionally. You Control Your Emotions You clearly follow your strategy, leaving no room for emotions. Even before opening a deal, you have analyzed everything and know exactly what to do – you have a plan of action. You always fix a part of the profit You do not forget to protect your capital, so you close part of the position in plus or zero, and let the rest of the position grow further. Now you will not only not lose your money, but you can also earn. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with Like. Thanks for your support!

TRADING PRINCIPLES THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW. PART 1.Hello traders! For a long time, the Forex market has created a large number of trading methods. Finding your strategy that suits you specifically is one of the main steps in achieving success in the Forex market. And it is worth remembering that successful traders do not use anything magical in their trading. Everything has been invented for a long time for both a novice trader and a successful trader. The main task of beginners is to choose a fairly easy strategy and strictly follow its principles and rules. So what does a beginner need to know in order to trade profitably? Price levels. It is difficult for a beginner to determine price levels and trade them correctly. There are no specific rules in this topic, since the price does not draw clear points, but forms zones. Many traders use support and resistance levels in their trading and for beginners, the main task at the beginning of the journey will be the concept of selling from resistance and buying from support. There are three types of trading systems based on price levels. 1. If the price moves within the framework of a sideways movement, the trader can sell from resistance and buy from support. 2. If there is a prevailing trend in the market, for example, bearish, a trader can sell from resistance and expect support to break through. 3. The same rules work in the bull market, only in a different direction. If the price breaks through the resistance, then this zone becomes a support from which you can buy. Consider the principles of trading from price levels. #1 Understanding the market context. The key to profitable trading from the levels is the ability to correctly understand the market context. Bearish pressure leads the market movement through an impulse movement that breaks through support and creates new lows – in this context, selling strategies will not work well. That is why it is so important to follow the concept of the market context: When the market falls, creating new highs and lows, we are talking about an impulsive bearish context. The correction is created by an impulse that is weaker than the main trend. A sideways movement occurs when both demand and supply are approximately equal and the price cannot move in a certain direction. As soon as the bulls or bears take over, the price will make an impulse in the direction of the strong side. #2 Top-Down Analysis The market is ruled by big money, which pays great importance to large timelines. And it is vital for an ordinary trader to know where smart money is pushing the market. To do this, it is worth noting strong levels on the monthly-weekly-daily timeframes in order to know exactly where the price is most likely to rebound. On the other hand, if the price is above the key levels, then the market is bullish. #3 Candlestick Patterns Almost every trader uses candlestick patterns in his analysis, which are a very strong analysis tool. Reversal candlestick patterns create an excellent opportunity to enter a trend reversal. The higher the timeframe on which the pattern was formed, the stronger its signal will be. Knowing candlestick formations is a very important part of a trader's professional growth. #4 Risk Management Any trader should be aware of the risks and be able to control them. Although this topic goes beyond the definition of the market context, it is still very important. There are many ways to control risks. An important rule is to set a stop loss and risk in each position, as recommended, no more than 2% percent. Hedge fund managers risk an even smaller percentage in each transaction, sometimes 1% or even lower. It is better to grow slowly than to fall quickly. If you lose 2% of the capital, in the next transaction, in order to get your money back, you will already need to make 4%, which in general is not difficult to do. But if you lose 50%, you will need to make 100% profit already, which is almost unrealistic. Conclusions Summarizing the above, you can make the following sequence of actions: Identify the key support and resistance levels. Wait for the candle to form in the desired direction. Stop loss above or below the candlestick pattern. Take profit is placed at the following support or resistance levels. Always make sure to use proper money management for each trade, and never take on a risk that exceeds the return.

BEST CANDLESTICK PATTERNSCombinations confirming the reversal of the "bearish trend" 1. Inverted hammer and combinations of hammers. The hammer has a large shadow under the small green body, and the inverted hammer has a large shadow over the small red body. It appears, like all subsequent combinations, at the base of the downtrend, before the reversal. 2. "Bullish harami" consists of two candles: the first with a long red body, which covers the second with a short green body. A distinctive feature is that this model assumes a price gap. The fact is that "harami" in Japanese means pregnant, so if you look closely at the drawing, you will see that the body of the right candle is, as it were, inside the body of the left candle. 3. Short candles in the "star position". A "star" is a candle with a fairly small body, formed after the break with the closing of the previous candle, usually having a large body. Therefore, in this model, the candle should appear at the bottom of the downtrend, have a short body and open with a break down compared to the previous candle. The third red candle with a short body should close above the first candle. 4. "The morning star in the position of three candles." Here, the first candle should be red, which indicates a strong downward movement, the second has a short body and is formed with a gap relative to the first candle, and the third candle is necessarily green, the price of which has increased to at least a value at the level of half the body of the first candle. Ideally, the morning star should have a gap before and after the second candle, but the gap between the second and third candles is rare. 5. A short candle in the "harami" position. This combination is similar to the "bullish harami" that we described earlier, only in this case the second candle is short and red, but it is also located in the body of the first candle. The third candle is necessarily green. Combinations confirming the reversal of the "bullish trend" 6. "Bearish harami" is the same as "bullish harami", only a long green body should appear first, and a short red body should appear second, and the body of the right candle is absorbed by the body of the first candle. The next candles go out. 7. "Bearish absorption". Here, the first is a short green candle, and the second is a long red one, and if you look, the body of the left candle is inside the body of the right candle. After that, the price decreases. 8. "Shooting star" is a short candle with a missing lower shadow and a very long upper one. 9. The bear cross "harami" is formed when the first candle is long and green, and the second candle ("child") is a "doji". 10. "A three-line star in thought" or in another way "the repulsed offensive of three white soldiers". This combination reflects a gradual steady increase in prices and consists of three candles, the opening price of each of which is located inside or near the previous green body. The closing price of candles is equal to or approaching the maximum prices. If the second and third candles (or only the third candle) show signs of weakening, that is, their bodies gradually decrease or relatively long upper shadows form, then the "repulsed offensive of three white soldiers" model is formed. This pattern should cause particular alarm if it appears after a long uptrend.
