Gaps and How Markets Move In Contraction and ExpansionThere are several ways to trade gaps but first, there should be a solid understanding of what Gaps are and how they show up. Markets aren't that hard to read if we have some simple ways to see them that adhere to the principles of movement. All markets move in contraction and expansion. A Gap is the sudden supply/demand imbalance that comes out of the contraction and shows up as the expansion. These expansions can even be used to measure how far the next expansion will go. Start with a simple bar chart and erase everything else off the chart. Look and simply see the dense areas of contraction (Range). Then see the expansion (Gap), followed by another contraction. Look for same-size contractions and expansion and you will start to see how organized price flow can be. It's no different than swings in that minor contractions and expansions make up the major contractions and expansions. Shane

How to confirm Buy/Sell recommendations?As a trader, I meticulously review recommendations from brokerage firms regarding potential stock purchases daily. Despite this, I am frequently confronted with the challenge of accurately predicting profit probabilities, as well as determining precise entry, exit, and stop-loss points. My preference for the Ichimoku strategy means I conduct extensive analyses on my portfolio, a process that, while thorough, is also notably time-consuming. Moreover, in the midst of trading, I find myself eager to predict the characteristics of the forthcoming bar. To address these challenges, I integrate a variety of indicators into my strategy, including VWAP, Stochastic RSI, MACD, OBV, RedK Everex, SVP, and, crucially, volume analysis. Yet, even with these tools, predicting the next price level—as a target price within my Ichimoku trading framework—remains elusive. In my quest for a more comprehensive understanding, I discovered a user-friendly and exceptionally effective indicator that enhances my VWAP framework: the BREAKOUT PROBABILITY (EXPO) by ZEIIRMAN. It offers a nuanced perspective that could markedly improve trade decision-making. I highly recommend watching the educational video provided by ZEIIRMAN. It has the potential to add significant value to your portfolio. Best of luck in your trading endeavors. Mohamed Mahmoud

This Completing Transformed My Trading (RESPECT & DISRESPECT)The idea of RESPECT and DISRESPECT completely transformed my ability to effectively read price action and trade profitably. ICT teaches about Premium/Discount (PD) Arrays. There is a lot of bickering and debate as to which of these PD Arrays are better. I'm here to build a case for the idea that they are all equally effective, and are just reference points on a chart to build a trade idea around. To me, it boils down to: Which levels are being RESPECTED or DISRESPECTED? That's it for me, that's what made it all click. That is what helped me stop worrying about every little level on the chart. Once you have a high time frame (HTF) narrative and draw on liquidity (DOL), you know which PD arrays you want to see respected and disrespected. Coming up with your HTF Narrative is also based around what levels are being RESPECTED or DISRESPECTED. I hope this video can give you an a-ha moment like it did for me.

Trading Rules Are Not a Suggestion or an OptionWhen you make a trading rule, it's not a suggestion or an option. Mostly, when we want to be flexible with our rules, it's an emotional impulse pulling us to make some unbalanced trading decision. Make sure to keep closing every escape route you have. If you are not ready to commit to rules then don't make them, you will just be setting yourself up. Wait until you are ready, then have a go at it. In my posts, I have been doing an exercise of trade planning for 30 trades. This is a complete plan covering every aspect of the trade. Today I will do a review of the trades done so far. Components of a Trade Plan: 1. Objective method 2. Trade entry, stop, and exit 3. Position sizing and risk management 4. Documentation and review The review is simple, I ask 2 basic questions. 1. Did I make a clear plan ahead of time? 2. Did I follow that plan? These questions demand honest, yes-or-no answers. They force me to confront my trading discipline head-on, without room for excuses or escape. At first, the rules may seem confining, but after a while, you will see that trading can be very relaxed. I understand that rules for every aspect can be overwhelming. You can do it in steps tackling one thing at a time. For instance, you can work on only entries, stops, or management until you master that one thing. Setting the foundations of discipline and consistency won't offer immediate gratification but it will serve you in the long run. What's important is that you keep moving forward toward your objectives with awareness. Shane

RSI as a Trend ToolMost people use the RSI as a momentum indicator, trying to find Overbought/Oversold (OBOS) conditions, and/or divergences. However there is also a way to use it as a Trend Tool. There is a mathematical relationship that connects the RSI and EMA's. The formula is RSI(x) cross-over 50-line = Close cross-over EMA(2x) i.e. RSI(14) cross-over 50 line = Close cross-over EMA(28) This one of the properties of the RSI, which I discovered when taking a more indept look into momentum indicators, which ultimately led to the discovery of the MACD-v in 2014/2015 The MACD-v was then publicly disclosed in 2022, in the form of a a paper called "MACD-v: Volatility Normalised Momentum", which was awarded: It has won 2 International Awards: 1. The “Founders Award” (2022), for advances in Active Investment Management from the National Association of Active Investment Managars (NAAIM) 2. The “Charles H. Dow Award” (2022) for outstanding research in Technical Analysis, from the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)

HOW TO SET TAKE PROFIT AND STOP LOSSES ON CONNECTED BROKERSOne of the best features of TradingView is all the connected brokers and how you can not only place, but also move any take profit and stop losses around on the screen to match what you are seeing on your various indicators or support levels. Video also covers a way to gracefully exit out of a trade bit by bit if you are already up a long way and want to protect your profit by selling a little bit at a time instead of the whole lot if the price starts coming down. It's very cool.

Let's Talk Liquidity! ⚒️At first, Liquidity may seem like an abstract and confusing concept reserved for only those Finance nerds and geeks to tackle. Turns out it's really not too sophisticated after all and can be though of in terms of Fomo. Fomo if you are not aware already is simply a concept related to chasing the market because of a Fear of missing out. Any action out of fear is typically not the best choice. In trading, this is especially true. Liquidity is what the market needs prior to a big move. Liquidity doesn't necessarily mean that the market needs to pin an extreme low or high from the previous session. Liquidity is also gathered when the market ranges/consolidates for awhile. If you go back and backtest, you will observe that preceding a large move, the market usually consolidates first. Liquidity also dries up during Asian session. You can observe that the volatility is much smaller than London/Ny session as the market moves alot less # of pips. Liquidity dries up prior to news annoucnemnts becuase of uncertainty obviously. This is the very reason why the market moves so much during news is because of lower participation from larger market participants, therefore an increased chance of wild and random price movements. This is explained more in depth in this concept video, Let's talk Liquidity.
