My Fitness Journey: How Hitting the Gym Upped My Trading GameThere was a time in my trading journey when I thought that focusing solely on numbers, charts, and the next big trade was the way to go. But honestly, I was burning out, feeling foggy, and my health was taking a backseat. That all changed when I decided to swap my late-night snacks for a gym membership.
The Day It Hit Me: I'll be real with you; I started working out not for the six-pack but because I needed to clear my head and get some energy back. And wow, did it ever transform my trading game. I've got the charts to prove it - my trading performance before and after getting fit. Before, I was missing opportunities, getting stressed, and making rash decisions. Now, I'm more alert, my timing's spot-on, and my risk management? It's like night and day.
What Being Out of Shape Does to You I did some digging, and there's actual science behind why this works. Exercise gets your brain firing on all cylinders, making you better at those quick, critical decisions we face every trading day. It's not about becoming a bodybuilder; it's about getting your blood pumping to where it counts - especially your brain.
How I Got My Groove Back I'm not saying you need to live at the gym. My routine's simple; I do what I can even while the markets are buzzing. A quick morning workout or some stretches during lunch breaks has made all the difference. It’s all about finding that sweet spot, where you're not just a trader but a healthy human being too.
What I Learned from All This This journey's been an eye-opener. I realized that being a good trader isn't just about knowing the market; it's about knowing yourself. This wasn't just about sharing data; it was about sharing a piece of my life, hoping it echoes with you. It's sparked so many chats because, let's be real, we all struggle with keeping our health in check while chasing those green candles.
Are You Trading While Unfit? The timing was perfect. With everyone talking about burnout and how to stay sharp, my story about how fitness upped my trading game felt like a message that needed to be out there. Whether you're into stocks, crypto, or forex, here's the deal - your health directly impacts your wealth.

Why You Shouldn't Be a Trader: The Emotional RollercoasterEver thought about diving into trading? Here's the honest truth from someone who's been there. I used to think trading was all about numbers and charts, but boy, was I wrong. It's more like riding an emotional rollercoaster that can make you feel like you've aged years in a single day.
Imagine this: one day you're on top of the world, feeling like you've finally figured it out, and the next, you're down in the dumps, rethinking your entire life. Here's the deal:
-Heart-Stopping Volatility: The market's ups and downs can turn your emotions upside down. One second you're ecstatic with a win; the next, you're in despair over a loss.
-No Off Switch: Unlike most jobs, there's no "clocking out" with trading. Your mind never really stops, even when you're supposed to be chilling.
-The Lonely Trader's Path: It can feel like you're on this journey alone, with no one to share the load or celebrate the victories with.
But here's the twist - I've learned how to navigate this wild ride. With a bit of community and some laughs, trading doesn't have to be a solo act.
If you're feeling the weight of this rollercoaster or just curious about how to keep your emotions in check, why not hit me up?

Trading Anxiety: When Fear Messes Up Your TradesEver had that scary feeling in your tummy before you make a trade? I totally get it. I used to let my worries take over my trading days. Every time the market went down, it felt like it was out to get me, making me sell stuff too fast or miss out on good deals because I was too scared.
Here's what happened:
- Always Scared: I was so afraid of losing money that I kept questioning every move I made, even when it was probably the right one.
- Stuck in Thinking: I'd look at so many charts that I couldn't make up my mind. It was like being stuck because every choice seemed like it could be wrong.
- No Sleep: I thought staying up late to watch the markets would help me, but it just made me super tired and even more worried the next day.
But I learned how to deal with it. I started using stop-losses, like safety nets, so I wouldn't lose too much. I tried mindfulness stuff to keep calm. And I decided no more screens after trading time, so I could get a good night's sleep.
If you're feeling the same kind of worry when you trade, you're not by yourself. We're all in this together. Let's talk about how we can stay chill even when the market gets crazy. Leave a comment or send me a message if you want to chat about dealing with this stress.

My FOMO Nightmare: How Missing One Trade Changed My Trading LifeI remember the day like it was yesterday. I was scrolling through X (Twitter), seeing everyone go wild over this one stock. My heart raced as I watched the price skyrocket, but I hesitated. I hadn't done my homework on this one, and something felt off. But the fear of missing out? That was eating at me.
The next day, I woke up to see the stock had crashed. My initial relief turned into regret. Maybe I could've sold at the peak if I had just jumped in like everyone else. That's when FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out, became my trading nemesis:
-Hasty Actions: I started jumping into trades at the last minute, driven by the buzz on social media, not by my own analysis.
-Screen Addiction: I couldn't step away from my screen, worried I'd miss the next big move. My life began revolving around the market's every twitch.
- Chasing Losses: After missing a few opportunities, I found myself in a dangerous cycle, trying to make up for lost gains with even riskier trades.
But here's the twist in my story. One evening, after a particularly bad day of chasing trends, I sat back and realized how this fear was controlling me, not my strategy. I decided to change. I set strict rules for myself: no trading based on social media hype, sticking to my research, and remembering that every market has its patterns - there's always another chance if you miss one.
Now, I trade with a calm mind, knowing that if I miss one trade, there'll be another. If you've ever felt that burning desire to join the rush, only to regret it later, you're not alone. Let's share our stories and strategies for overcoming FOMO. DM me if you want to chat about how we can keep our heads in the game, not just our eyes on the screen.

Trading While Tired: How Lack of Sleep Messed Me UpThere was a time in my trading journey when I thought staying up late would make me a better trader. I’d sit at my desk until the early hours, staring at charts and telling myself, “The more I watch, the more I’ll win.” At first, it seemed like it was working. I caught a few decent trades late at night and felt like I was ahead of the game.
But then, it all started to go wrong.
The Day It Hit Me
One morning, after getting just four hours of sleep, I sat down to trade like I always did. But something felt off. I couldn’t focus on the charts—I kept missing obvious patterns. On one trade, I completely forgot to set a stop-loss, and it ended up costing me more than it should have.
By the end of the day, I had made so many mistakes that I didn’t even recognize myself as a trader. I was losing money, and I felt like a mess.
What Lack of Sleep Does
Looking back, I can see how skipping sleep was hurting me. Here’s what I went through:
- I Couldn’t Think Clearly: I felt foggy and couldn’t concentrate on my trading plan.
- I Made Bad Choices: I rushed into trades without thinking them through.
- I Was Moody: Losing trades hit me harder than they should have, and little things made me angry.
- I Drank Too Much Coffee: I thought caffeine would fix my tiredness, but it just made me jittery.
- I Broke My Rules: I was too tired to follow my trading strategy.
How I Fixed It
One day, after another sleepless night and a morning full of mistakes, I decided enough was enough. I told myself I needed to change.
The first step? Making sleep a priority. At first, it was hard to turn off the charts and go to bed. I thought I’d miss out on opportunities, but the truth was the opposite. With proper rest, I became sharper, calmer, and more confident in my trades.
What I Learned
-Sleep is as important as trading skills—you can’t think clearly without it.
-Watching the charts all night doesn’t help if you’re too tired to make good decisions.
-A good night’s sleep leads to smarter, more focused trading.
Are You Trading Tired?
If you’re staying up late and feeling exhausted while trading, it’s time to change that. Trust me, your trades will get better when your brain has the energy to work properly.
If you’re stuck or want to chat about how to balance trading with a healthy lifestyle, send me a DM. I’ve been there, and I’m here to help!

Bearish Movement expected. Dont be the Liquidity! pt4Look to all this Negative Delta. We are on Daily TF. BTC will fall and I strongly suggest that you protect your capital.
When media is fully bullish, and everybody is talking about BTC going to the moon and the bullish effect of Halving.. thats the moment when MMakers will rekt almost everybody.
Remember this wise phrase: buy with the rumor and sell with the new.
Even if we see a bullish manipulation to the upside, everything is pointing to lower prices.
Below actual price there is a lot of available Liquidity and it needs to be recapitalized.
Bearish signs are present since days ago. This is my 4th Update trying to warn people.
Be careful.

SOL is still retracing support.Today's Solana price analysis is pessimistic.
The most resistance is found at $14.57.
At the time of writing, SOL was trading at $12.31.
Solana's price analysis for December 17, 2022, suggests that the market is completely bearish; however, Solana has achieved enormous negative momentum, indicating a decrease in the SOL market. Solana's pricing has stayed negative in recent hours. Today, the price dropped from $13.06 to $11.94. However, the market began to rise in value again soon after, since the cryptocurrency had already gained more of its value. Furthermore, Solana has surged to $12.31, barely shy of the $12.50 level.
Solana's current price is $12.31, with a trading volume of $383,744,102. Solana has been taken ill. This gives us 8.37% in the last 24 hours. Solana currently ranks at #15 with a live market cap of $4,510,324,801.
Negative-Price Oil Trendline Establishes Floor at 100.38A trendline drawn from the all-time low of -40.32 to the November 29, 2021 weekly low was tagged perfectly by the December 20, 2021 weekly low which occurred 3 weeks after the November low. This seemingly-unlikely tagging of a trendline which starts at a negative value suggests that the trendline may be respected if we approach it from the current $108 price level.
In the coming week which begins July 4, 2022, the trendline is at the price level of 100.38 and in the weeks that follow, it goes higher, therefore, it can be said that it has established a floor at 100.38.
There is also a parallel channel which many traders are watching some variation of. It establishes a floor of 100.17 as shown.
There is a volume profile drawn covering the price action from after the Russia/Ukraine conflict began up until today. Looking at it and at the setup on the week of February 4, 2008 which is similar to the current setup when looking at the 9/20wk smas and weekly candles, a swing long entry can be anticipated below 103 and above 100. A price target would be north of $120 if the 2008 situation is repeating itself.
The trendline increments at 1.22 cents per week so next week the floor will move up to 101.60, the following week it will be 102.88, the week after that it will be 104.10, etc.
Bitcoin capitulation 2022Since we are experiencing many market factors like high inflation and recession fears along with Fed rate hikes for 2022 and also the overwhelming defi platforms going insolvent this year the price of Bitcoin may not be at its bottom point yet. This is actually my first ever bear chart analyses for the next 6 months. It is apparent that the expanding cycle theory may no longer have an effect for this year. Unfortunately, we are faced with too many negatives for the 2022 bull peak for Bitcoin. Now we have to sit tight and see when we will come out of this bearish zone and then start thinking about the next bull. We broke the 2017 Bitcoin high of $19800 when we pierced down to the $17K level. The estimated bottom for Bitocin in this bear could go as low as $10k according to Garreth Soloway, a well known and highly respected charting expert.

What's your view do let me know.
Eth cost pattern shows with a $6.25 Trillion ETHEthereum cost graph gives negative indications to experts after slashing around for a year.
A sum of 2.1 billion ETH tokens has been singed in total, representing $6.25 trillion.
Regardless of the huge decrease in circling supply, examiners don't expect enormous moves in Ethereum cost.
Ethereum cost could plunge as experts distinguish indications of negative fatigue in the altcoin's cost c. This comes despite a drop in Ethereum's circling supply as the amount of ETH consumed hits a record 2.1 billion.
Ethereum cost could proceed with its descending pattern
The all-out number of Ethereum tokens consumed hit another achievement, crossing 2.1 billion today. In light of information from the Ethereum consume tracker, $6.25 trillion in ETH has been scorched up to this point, being pulled unavailable for general use forever.
Forecast of USDCADThis is a technical analysis, I recommend you apply any fundamental analysis to your trade to make the most of it.
For this pair I use the DXY and CXY to make my fundamental analysis work. These indexes help you understand a pair's strength Since USD is the base and if DXY is in a negative week, USDCAD is most likely going down.
You should apply CXY to make sure to know if the base pair is strong enough to go your way.
US 10-Year Yield PeakThe 10 year yield will not get to 3%. Since 1987 we have seen this downward trend in treasuries indicated by the channels on the chart.
As of today, the 2 standard deviation peak is at 2.2% and the 3 standard deviation peak is at 2.9%. In one year it will move down to 2.0% and 2.7% respectively. There's also a chance we already peaked and we don't see a 10 year yield over 2% for the foreseeable future.
There has not been a single time since 1985 that we broke out of the 3 standard deviation upper bound. It is safe to say 2.9% is a hard cap on the 10 year without a major meltdown in the US bond market.
Even the 2 std. dev. channel has only been broken twice (and only once significantly) since then. I think this will cause huge bond buying whenever it gets above 2.2% and realistically we won't see over 2.5%.
Eventually we'll start flirting with the 0% bound and the 2 std. dev trend will dip negative sometime in 2030. Until then, enjoy the roaring 20s.
Negative VEXMy posts keep getting banned for linking to twitter content so I'll keep this brief.
Keep an eye on the vix after open today. Any sustained move up over 40 is likely to cause big moves down > -6%
This is likely where the market could enter negative VEX.
most notable -VEX were the corona crash
and in late 2008
I don't have the tool programmed to view Vanna Exposure (VEX) yet, I hope to complete in a few weeks.
Probable too late. Putin is putting the Put in puts.
EW Analysis: Bearish Looking Treasuries May Push USDJPY HigherHello traders!
Today we will talk about treasuries (10Y US Notes) and its negative correlation with USDJPY.
As you can see, 10Y US Notes turned sharply down after a corrective movement in wave 4), which means that it can be now on the way back to lows for wave 5), especially if breaks below channel support line.
At the same time USDJPY may continue higher as we know they are in tight negative correlation, so be aware of more upside on USDJPY with room even up to March 2020 highs and 112 area.
Trade smart!
