High Volume Times to Trade / Part 1 🔣Hello traders welcome back to another Concept video. In this video, we detail some of the best times to trade the Eur/Usd Currency pair. This happens to be at Session opens. We go through the 3 Session opens and walkthrough examples of increasing volume ( Large candles). Session opens can provide a great catalyst for 1) a continuation of momentum of the preceding trend or 2) a dramatic reversal. The Euro and the U.S. Dollar are not open during the Asian session and so the candles are much smaller and the average volatility is much less. However, the same concept applies regarding the former.

"The Bodies Tell The Story.. The Wicks Do The Damage" - ICTIn this video I'm going to go through one of ICT's most famous sayings, which is "The bodies tell the story, and the wicks do the damage". If haven't taken the time to understand what he means, then you are seriously putting yourself at a disadvantage if you are using his concepts. This is one of the most crucial and useful pieces of the ICT puzzle. You often hear him say that the wicks are painting outside of the lines, which he sees as permissable when he is trading his PD Arrays. So without further ado, I'll try my best to provide some insight. For illustrative purposes I'll use his Market Maker Sell Model. Just to note that this is not a video teaching about his market maker models, so the focus will not be on that or his other concepts. If you don't understand a certain term or concept, please check out ICT's YouTube Channel or the countless other resources online. This video will be predominantly shedding some light on candle bodies and wicks. I urge you to go into your own charts and do your own study. This will truly be something eye opening if it is the first time you've actually decided to take notice. - R2F

The Value of an Unbiased BiasHi everyone, In this video I would like to discuss the value of having an unbiased bias when it comes to your analysis. It’s a dry subject with only a little chart illustrating near the end, but the boring stuff usually tends to be the most important topics when it comes to making it in this industry. I think most of us are familiar with the word ‘bias’. For those that aren’t, basically, in the context of trading, all it means is being in favour of the market moving either to the upside or downside. Your bias comes by means of your analysis and can be related to any timeframe. For example, I could have a bullish bias on a higher timeframe monthly chart, and a bearish bias for the lower timeframe daily chart. Now, you don’t HAVE to always have a bias. If you don’t know, then you simple don’t know, and there is nothing wrong with that, it would be unreasonable and nonsensical to think otherwise. But, sometimes your bias is wrong, which leads me to the topic of this video. I believe even for traders who don’t know how to form a technical bias, do so anyway in the form of psychological bias. Most of the time, we think the market is either going up or down, hence why we would even get into a long or short position. The tricky part is being flexible and changing your bias when the market is indicating you are clearly wrong. Smart Money knows how we think, and they know how to create sentiment in the marketplace. This is why its crucial to be able to change your bias on a dime, WHEN it is applicable, WHEN your analysis is showing you, and NOT for any other reason. The later you are to the party, the less pips you can catch, and the less likely your trades will win. As humans, we tend to cling to our beliefs. We block out any evidence indicating that we may be wrong about them. And when the market is showing us that we may be wrong, we just tell ourselves “Well now the market is offering me more pips, I have to get in on this move!”, hence one reason how you get long or short squeezes. - R2F

How to minimize being dominated by FearSpoiler : its gratitude I've gone through many emotions whilst keeping this position open, especially when seeing the PnL shrink I lost sleep, exhausted my brain and felt many repetitions of the feeling vertigo I had to get my mind right, so I took my problem to the forest and ask the divine intelligence Gods to guide me They taught me that the best way to minimize fear is to be in a state of appreciation that's not news to me so I then asked, how do I apply appreciation (given the law of familiarity makes listing things I am grateful for very boring) And their answer was to unfocus the eyes and appreciate 'every' individual element that made up the togetherness around me To make that more realistic (hard to focus on every single individual thing) they said to see the light and the love in the energetic web (which is why I assuming we gotta unfocus our eyes) I did it and it WORKED I am grateful for so much again. Opportunity to trade, etc etc These sharings of mine are from a real person in real life circumstances. So feel free to absorb any value that you may find relevant

What does it take to be a SUCCESSFUL TRADER?Hi everyone, I felt compelled to create this short video on what I think it takes to be a successful trader. I've separated it into 4 factors: 1. Passion 2. Discipline 3. Perseverance 4. Patience From my experience, these are the core things that you need to keep going until you find successful. Strategies should be the LEAST of your concern. I always say that to be a successful trader, you have to BE that person! You have to transform the person you are now into the person you vision yourself being. If you can do that, you got it baby. - R2F

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.
