EDUCATIONAL: Creating ConfluenceUsing different time frames and indicators is a key aspect of a well-rounded trading strategy. By analyzing an asset across various time frames, traders can identify larger trends and shorter-term price action. Higher time frames provide a broader context, while lower time frames offer more detailed data on potential entry and exit points. Combining technical indicators such as linear regression, Bollinger Bands, Elliott Wave, Fibonacci retracements, and Ichimoku Kinko Hyo enhances your confluence and confirms trends or reversal points across different time frames. This approach offers a more comprehensive analysis of market trends and potential price movements. Confluence occurs when multiple indicators and time frames align, increasing the probability of a successful trade. For example, if a trend is confirmed across several indicators and time frames, it suggests that the trend may be more reliable. Traders should also be aware of conflicting signals that might arise from different time frames or indicators. In such cases, you must prioritize your decisions based on your trading strategy and risk tolerance. This educational video will guide you on developing your confluence using the mentioned indicators and time frames. Larger time frames draw the bigger picture, while lower frames provide baby steps toward the bigger frame. Additionally, you might find confluence in smaller time frames that could override other indicators on bigger time frames. In summary, incorporating different time frames and indicators improves the quality of your analysis and leads to more informed and strategic trading decisions -------///// When faced with conflicting signals from different time frames or indicators, prioritizing decisions can be challenging. Here are some strategies to help you navigate these situations and make informed trading choices: Favor Higher Time Frames: Generally, higher time frames (e.g., daily, weekly) provide a broader context and are more reliable in identifying the overall market trend. When signals conflict across time frames, prioritize the signals from higher time frames as they represent longer-term market movements. Confirm with Multiple Indicators: Look for confluence among various technical indicators. When multiple indicators align in support of a trend or reversal, the likelihood of the market moving in that direction increases. Conversely, if indicators disagree, exercise caution and avoid trading until the signals are clearer. Risk Management: In cases of conflicting signals, adjust your position size and risk exposure accordingly. Reducing your risk can help protect your capital from potential losses due to market volatility. Wait for Clarity: If signals are ambiguous or contradictory, it may be wise to wait for more definitive price action before making a decision. Avoid impulsive trades based on uncertain signals. Use Price Action: In addition to indicators, consider using price action (e.g., support and resistance levels, candlestick patterns) to guide your decisions. Price action can provide additional context and may help confirm or negate signals from indicators. Set Clear Entry and Exit Points: Define clear entry and exit points based on your analysis and stick to your trading plan. This discipline can help you navigate conflicting signals more effectively. Keep an Eye on Market Sentiment: Market sentiment can offer additional insights into potential market movements. For example, extreme bullishness or bearishness can signal a potential reversal, even if indicators show conflicting signals. Stay Flexible: Be prepared to adapt your strategy as market conditions change. Flexibility can help you navigate conflicting signals and adjust your positions accordingly. By employing these strategies, you can manage conflicting signals more effectively and make informed decisions that align with your overall trading strategy and risk tolerance.

Setting up MetaTrader for Prop Firm Trading. And why I did it I've been focussing on coding Ai to trade on my behalf and therefore haven't been trading In realizing that I would need a track record of the Ai to beat I decided to get back on the markets. So I moved some funds around and started trading on a Crypto exchange where I would put my own money into the trade. What a f#$@%$ headache that was. Personal exchanges are there to make money for themselves as priority, and only kinda be there to facilitate your trades. Typical crypto exchanges (maybe others too) are unethical as well as unnecessarily complex. As you've heard I took a 38% profit, which took a long time to make, and because their contracts section forced me to buy Bitcoin to put in the trade..even though I made a profit, the overall amount decreased in value, essentially creating a loss. Grrr! So to hell with those gross exchanges and back to trading OPM (other peoples money)! In this video I'll show you how I have my MetaTrader 5 set up. I'm just waiting for the account login details to arrive and I'll that fully set up soon and ready for action asap Welcome to the real world of trading

US30 Simple 8:am StrategyToday I'm explaining a very simple strategy that I use for trading US30 during the NY session. Basically just wait for the 8:am EST candle to close Once the candle closes, if it's red, you would enter a sell position with a 100 point profit target with a stop loss at 100 points as well. If it's green, enter a long position with a 100 point profit target and 100 point SL. If you end up getting stopped up, it's not a big deal. The following day you would just double the position size. Make sure you avoid trading Wednesday especially if there's anything related to the FED such as an FOMC. In terms of volume size to trade, for every $100k, start with a 1 standard lot position. If stopped out one day, the following day trade 2 lots, or execute two 1 standard lot positions at the same time. This is a very simple strategy with an 80% win rate. That's it - That's all Trade Safe

Using Fibonacci Spirals With Fib Price TheoryEven though I was interrupted by a phone call (lol) hear the end of this video, it still clearly illustrates how to use Fibonacci Price Sprials in conjunction with Fibonacci Price Theory to identify breakouts and targets. Remember, I don't believe Fibonacci Price Spirals are very useful for targeting/predicting trends. I do believe they act as a means of identifying phases/cycles related to price though. And that could be helpful for traders trying to catch/identify opportunities for trades. Hope this helps.

Anchored vWAPs to Define Value Channels of Reaction ZonesIn this video I share a simple TA method I use when I've identified two significant levels. For this example we're using the anchored vwap from both the most recent significant high and significant low. Once we have those defined and price begins to trade Within These two levels I like to draw what is called a value Channel. A value channel provides me with areas on the chart that are high probable reaction areas. the trade system I trade I look for reaction areas and I trade around them. we see in this example that the rejection happened at a significant area of this value channel and if price continues down I share where the next reaction area will be where we'll look for Price support. I also add to the chart and indicator called RD Key Levels . these are key levels that the market uses for reaction areas in just about any day one Trader should know but it's great to have them on their chart. I bring this up because it does appear that BTC is reaching for a weekly open test. that would be my target on this trade and would be the highest probable reaction area I'd be looking for. If anything wasn't clear please ask questions and I will provide answers or a quick update.

Stop Loss Placement: Let Your Trade Cook!Intro I tried to talk through stop-loss placement in 3 minutes here. I do not think justice was done. So let's take a look at exactly what I mean when I say "Let Your Trade Cook". Proper stop-loss placement is critical to a successful trading plan. Don't Place Your Stop Like Everyone Else You are guilty of this, if you have been stopped out many times just to see the price move immediately back in your favor. The picture below represents a bunch of pullbacks some long and some short and it has been color-coded to define entries combined with stop losses. Blue = Entry Black = Typical Stop Orange = A Good Stop To Let Your Trade Cook Red = An Aggressive Stop To Let The Trade Cook Conclusion Hopefully, the video along with this image provides you with a better system for discretionary stop losses. I tend to favor the idea that just above or below a momentum bar in the previous swing as my stop loss.
