Higher time frame frameworks and set upIn this video, we explore a high-level analysis of monthly and weekly trading frameworks, showcasing how TSA—Time, Space, Algorithms, and Tradings—leverages Confluence to identify asymmetrical opportunities in the market. While this isn’t the full strategy, it introduces key elements that empower traders to achieve precision and clarity. We dive into the power of Confluence as a core component, integrating insights from markets like the VIX to enhance feasibility and comparison. Starting from the monthly and weekly frameworks, we refine our approach to a 1-hour and 4-hour perspective, identifying high-probability setups. From there, we scale down to 15-minute and 5-minute charts, applying the same Confluence-based principles to manage trades effectively. This video is designed to bring the trading community together—FED traders, ICT traders, and those who combine fundamentals with technical analysis. Let’s collaborate to uncover powerful Confluences that sharpen our edge in the markets. This is just the beginning—join us as we build a thriving community of traders!

When is a stock too high to buy? (Example: IHG)How do you know when you’ve missed the boat? A stock has already gone up a tonne, so bascally you are too late! Sometimes, you just have to let go, right? Sometimes yes, but not always - let’s look at an example. International Hotels Group (IHG) Back in 2020, LSE:IHG IHG shares were trading down at ~2000 GBX, now they are a hairs breadth from 10,000 - that’s 5X in about 4 years. Not bad. Can you really even think about buying shares at 10,000 that were 2,000 only 4 years ago. 🤔 We’re saying YES.. if you follow some guidelines. Clearly this is not a value investment - this is a momentum trade. To be buying IHG shares up here, one is basically arguing that the price at new highs indicates and buyers are in charge and the price is going to keep going up for the time being. This helps define the trade risk very well. If the trade is that IHG has broken out over the previous peak at ~8,800. We don’t want to be owning shares below this level - if they’re back below 8,800 the momentum has stalled and we need to be out. To put it another way, we are not buying just under 10,000 and willing to hold the shares all the way back down to 2,000 again - no. We want to ride the momentum up - not down ! From here there’s a pretty good chance that momentum takes the price up to the 10,000 level. As a big round number, there is also a good chance that profit taking takes place here too. That creates our buy zone between 8,800 and the current market price (9,750). So what might a trading strategy look like to capture this situation? The following is a way to have: An intial risk of £1000 to test the waters A total risk £3000 if/when the trade starts working A 2X profit potential (with the opportunity to capture more) Spread Betting Strategy: Target £6000+ Profit with £1000 Initial Risk Entry Points and Stops 9000 GBX Entry: Stop Loss: 8600 GBX. Bet Size: £2.50 per point. Risk: £1000. 9200 GBX Entry: Stop Loss: 8800 GBX. Bet Size: £2.50 per point. Risk: £1000. 9400 GBX Entry: Stop Loss: Trailing 400 points. Bet Size: £2.50 per point. Initial Risk: £1000. Profit Targets First Position (9000): Gain: 1000 points. Profit: £2500. Second Position (9200): Gain: 800 points. Profit: £2000. Third Position (9400): Trailing Stop Profit Example: 10,400 GBX: Profit = £2500. 11,000 GBX: Profit = £4000 or more. Summary Total Risk: £3000. Fixed Profit (First Two Positions): £4500. Potential Profit (Third Position): Variable, based on trailing stop. Reward-to-Risk Ratio: 2:1 or higher, depending on trend continuation.

Why Day Traders Act Like Drake but Need Kendrick’s DisciplineDay traders are a lot like Drake: flashy, quick to make moves, and often living for the moment. They’re chasing the thrill of the next trade, celebrating their wins like hit singles, and always looking for the next big opportunity. But here’s the reality: while Drake’s charm works for the music charts, traders need something more if they want to succeed long-term. They need Kendrick Lamar’s discipline. Kendrick’s artistry is meticulous, thoughtful, and built for longevity. He’s not dropping tracks every week to chase clout—he’s crafting albums that stand the test of time. Traders can learn a lot from that approach. Trading isn’t about scoring a single big win; it’s about building consistency, managing risk, and sticking to a plan. Here’s how you channel your inner Kendrick: Stay Humble, Stay Grounded – Don’t let one winning trade inflate your ego. Remember, the market is always the real star. Think Long-Term – Focus on strategies that build your portfolio steadily over time, rather than trying to hit a jackpot every day. Master the Basics – Like Kendrick perfects his craft, you need to master your entries, exits, and risk management to create lasting success. Final Thought: Are you trading like Drake—seeking the spotlight—or like Kendrick, crafting a legacy? Let’s discuss how you can shift your mindset and elevate your trading game. Drop your thoughts below!

How To Use Multi-Timeframe AnalysisHey, In this video, I dive into the methods of multi-timeframe analysis, exploring how to use daily, weekly, and monthly charts alongside intraday charts like the 4-hour to gain a clearer picture of price movement. Multi-timeframe analysis helps you view the same data through different lenses, allowing you to make predictions across various time horizons. For example, a weekly trend or a monthly move can appear as a complete trend on lower timeframes. By integrating these perspectives, you can better understand what price action is indicating and make informed decisions. Kind regards, Max

Benchmarking a trend with a moving average (Example: Gold)They say a bad workman blames his tools. Quite often, good work means using the right tools. In a trend you need to use trend-following tools - and the most famous indicator is the moving average. When it's a fast-moving trend, you need to use averages taken over shorter periods (e.g. 20 day SMA > 200 day SMA). Likewise a slower trend needs averages taken over longer periods (e.g. 20 week > 50 day). Gold has just bounced off the 20 week moving average for the fourth time. The market is clearly benchmarking this trend according to this specific average. So while the price is above this moving average the trend is intact - and when it eventually breaks below it will be an important signal that the strength of the trend has weakened - and could be about to reverse. On the daily chart a rising trendline has broken but we would argue the reason the rebound off the low has been so strong is because the price rebounded off the 20 week moving average. For now our bias is bullish but there are no good risk:reward opportunities to buy and it remains unclear whether the short term uptrend can continue after the trendline break

Education: How to Dominate the 2025 Markets with a Solid PlanAs the world hurtles toward 2025, the financial landscape is poised for both opportunities and challenges. For traders, investors, and business owners alike, the key to success is not simply reacting to market movements, but proactively creating a solid plan that allows you to dominate whatever the markets throw your way. Today, we’ll break down the core elements of a strategy that will not only help you survive but thrive in the coming year. It’s time to stop guessing and start planning. 1. Understand the Big Picture The first step to dominating the 2025 markets is understanding the macroeconomic forces shaping them. In 2025, we’ll still see the effects of post-pandemic recovery, shifts in global trade, and technological innovations that will change how we interact with financial markets. But there are other things on the horizon too—potential interest rate hikes, geopolitical tensions, and emerging market dynamics that can influence everything from commodities to currencies. If you want to play the markets effectively, you need to get ahead of these trends, rather than reacting to them. You can’t predict every move, but by staying informed on what’s going on globally, you’ll be better prepared to make moves when the market presents opportunities. Practical Tip: Set aside time each week to catch up on world events, economic reports, and financial news. This gives you the context you need to make decisions beyond just looking at your charts. 2. Master Your Trading Psychology A successful trading plan in 2025 won’t just be about technical setups or market conditions—it will depend largely on your mindset. As traders, we all face the emotional rollercoaster of drawdowns, missed opportunities, and the temptation to break our own rules. This is where a solid psychological foundation can make or break your success. Having the right mindset means understanding that losses are part of the process and not an indicator of failure. You must embrace discipline, patience, and emotional control. The real key to dominating the market is sticking to your plan when things aren’t going well, not abandoning it at the first sign of trouble. Practical Tip: Use tools like TradingView’s alert system to stay detached from the screen and avoid emotional overtrading. This can help you focus on your long-term strategy and prevent impulsive decisions during high-pressure moments. 3. Leverage the Power of Backtesting and Data Analysis By 2025, data is more powerful than ever. Whether you’re trading stocks, forex, or crypto, having access to historical data allows you to backtest your strategies and refine them based on actual performance rather than guesswork. Backtesting helps you determine if your strategy has been profitable under various market conditions—taking the guesswork out of your trading decisions. Think of backtesting as practice before the real game. It’s like running drills before a big match, and it’s absolutely essential if you’re serious about dominating the market. When you know that a strategy works in various conditions, you can confidently execute it when the time comes. Practical Tip: Use platforms like TradingView or MetaTrader to backtest your strategies using historical data. Look for patterns, analyze risk-to-reward ratios, and refine your entry and exit criteria. 4. Refine Your Risk Management A solid risk management plan will separate you from the pack in 2025. Market conditions will be volatile, and having a solid framework for controlling risk is critical to surviving and thriving. The best traders are not the ones who make the most money on each trade—they are the ones who manage their losses effectively. This means setting stop-loss orders, only risking a small percentage of your capital on each trade, and having clear guidelines on position sizing. A well-structured risk management strategy ensures that you can weather periods of drawdown without blowing your account. Practical Tip: Decide upfront how much you’re willing to risk on each trade (usually no more than 1-2% of your capital), and set your stop-loss orders accordingly. Even if a trade goes against you, your account will survive and thrive in the long run. 5. Adapt to Emerging Market Trends The market in 2025 will be shaped by more than just traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and forex. The rise of cryptocurrencies, advancements in AI and machine learning, and innovations in fintech will play an increasingly important role in the way we invest and trade. While you don’t need to be an expert in every new trend, it’s important to stay agile and keep your finger on the pulse of emerging opportunities. The traders who adapt first to new markets, whether it’s cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or AI-driven investment strategies, are the ones who stand to gain the most. Practical Tip: Start exploring new markets now, even if you're not ready to trade them yet. Get familiar with the technologies, projects, and coins that are emerging. This gives you a head start in identifying potential profitable opportunities in 2025. 6. Create a Daily Routine and Stick to It Success in trading and investing isn’t about working 12-hour days—it’s about consistency. The traders who consistently succeed are the ones who develop a daily routine and stick to it. Your routine should include time for market analysis, backtesting, reviewing your trades, and staying updated on economic news. A daily routine keeps you grounded and ensures you are constantly improving your skills while managing your trades with a calm and clear mind. The moment you start skipping steps, rushing through your plan, or making impulsive decisions, you're more likely to miss important opportunities or make unnecessary mistakes. Practical Tip: Create a trading checklist that you follow every day. This could include checking the economic calendar, reviewing your previous trades, performing technical analysis, and setting alerts for key levels. By following this routine, you ensure that you're always prepared and never caught off guard. Final Thought: Your Plan, Your Success The key to dominating the markets in 2025 is not about hoping for luck or predicting the future—it’s about having a solid plan, mastering your mindset, and executing consistently. If you follow the steps outlined here, you’ll be well-positioned to navigate whatever challenges the market throws your way and come out on top. But here’s the thing: plans are nothing without action. It’s time to stop reading about success and start implementing these strategies. You know the risks. You know the challenges. Now, are you ready to dominate the 2025 markets? Let me know what strategies you're planning to implement, and how you’re preparing for the coming year! Your thoughts could make all the difference.

The Basics of Supply and Demand and Master Pattern TradingOk y'all, this is my first video attempt to explain the basics of how I trade. I've had lots of people ask me how it works, so figured it be easiest to make a quick video tutorial. With every trading/investing video comes a Disclaimer: This is for educational use ONLY and is not investment advice! Lol. I've learned that part of getting better at anything involves teaching others what you know in order to resell yourself on your craft. Keep in mind I am by no means a master of this. I've been a student of the game for a decade now and learning never stops. Have a great day!

Treasury yields at a crossroads? The implications for marketsThe long end of the US Treasury curve has been influential for FX markets recently. The rolling 10-day correlation between US 10-year yields with the DXY, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY is either strongly positive or negative. Even gold shows a notable -0.73 correlation, highlighting the influence of long bonds on broader markets. Given the inverse relationship between bond yields and prices, it’s no surprise that the correlation between 10-year yields and 10-year Treasury futures (shown in orange, left-hand pane) has been nearly perfectly negative over the past two weeks. In terms of directional risks for yields moving forward, the right-hand pane showing US 10-year Treasury note futures is instructive. The price remains in a downtrend, repeatedly rejected since being established October. If this trend persists, it signals lower prices and higher yields. That said, with the bullish hammer candle from the lows last week, coupled with RSI (14) and MACD which are providing bullish signals on momentum, you get the sense we may be in the early stages of a turning point. If we were to see the price break the downtrend, resistance may be encountered at 113’00, a level that’s been tested from both sides in recent weeks. If that were to give way, it points to an environment of a softer US dollar and kinder conditions for longer duration assets and commodities. Good luck! DS
