Trading Options: Setups and Rules In a previous video, I explained my share trading strategy, specifically for choppy markets (available here): But many of you have asked about when I decide to take options over shares and what setups do I look for. This video covers my own option rules and setup guidelines. Key points from the video: Always wait for re-tests of support and resistance. Second is good, third is best! Always draw out intra-day trends via trendlines. This alerts you to changes in market condition. Confirm breakouts by marking re-test highs and re-test lows (explained in more detail in the video) Thanks for watching and as always, safe trades!

Trade Planning: Learning Through Consistency and DisciplineIm going to do a series of posts that are all about trade planning and learning about consistency and discipline through a practice. In this exercise, I will be consistently planning, executing what I planned, and documenting 30 trades. A trade plan consists of a method, trade management, position sizing, documentation and review. A trade plan should state ahead of time, exactly where to enter, where to place stop, how the trade is managed, where to exit, and position sizing. This kind of accountability and responsibility offers a contrast to the our normal ineffective emotional impulses that we usually make our trade decisions from so that we can make a choice. I will talk more about each part of the trading plan future posts. This exercise is not about the method, a setup, picking the right stocks, being right, winning, loosing, or predicting markets. It doesn't matter if all the trades are losses. The purpose is to learn about consistency and discipline through your own personal insight. Its through discipline and consistency that we begin to re-wire old ineffective habits and develop an effective mindset for trading markets. Doing something consistently also offers a bassline to compare and truly learn. There is often resistance to this kind of responsibility. If you want to take up the guidelines of the practice, just step into it as much as your ready for and make it your own. This is not meant for you to follow my trades or worry about my method or setup. Its not important and besides, my setups lose most of the time anyways. Use your own method, there are plenty out there and work on making it as simple and objective as possible. I also suggest you start out sim trading this or using very small size.

Market Structure: Seeing In SwingsMarket Structure is simply making distinctions in price flow. its putting structure around what looks like chaos so that we have a way to measure and orient ourselves to any market in any timeframe. When I look at a market, I want to see objectively in swings. Swings are the common thread that weaves through all markets and timeframes, providing a clear indication of who is in control at any given moment. They consist of distinct components and follow a process, forming the foundation of my trading strategies and setups. Market Structure Definitions: Confirmed Swing High/Low: A new high confirms a swing low and a new low confirms a swing high. Relative: Major Swing: The largest reaction leg in your frame. Minor Swing: the next largest reaction leg. Balanced/Relative Swing: Same size reaction legs. Expanded Swing: Reaction leg larger than previous reaction leg. Components of a Swing: Impulse Leg: The leg that takes out a previous high or low. Reaction Leg: The retracement or pullback after the impulse leg. Impulse Leg Shelf: a small range at the end of an impulse leg Reaction Leg Shelf: A small range at the bottom of a reaction leg

Do You Know What You Are Being Patient for?Patience in trading is the discipline of being with your restless energy when things aren't happening they way you want them to. If we are to be patient, we must know what it is we are being patient for. That is part of what making a trade plan is all about. I know I’m being patient for the conditions of my setup to line up. After that i know I’m being patient for my planned entry to hit. Then I know being patient and waiting to either get stopped out or start to manage profits. There is no escape other than to make up some justification to break my discipline and try to make something happen or force the trade. The analysis for this trade is simple and straightforward. FNV is going down according to the fixed cycle (amount of bars on the chart) I’m looking at, therefore I want to sell a pullback. The rest is just structuring an exact entry and stop along with management after im in the trade. Understanding and practicing patience in trading is not just about waiting; it's about disciplined waiting with a clear purpose and strategy. Its a practice. Shane

5 Economic Benefits Of Interest Rate Decisions in BankingInterest rate decisions play a crucial role in the functioning of the banking sector and the broader economy. Here are five economic benefits associated with interest rate decisions in banking: 1. Monetary Policy Tool: - Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States or the European Central Bank, use interest rates as a primary tool for implementing monetary policy. By adjusting interest rates, central banks can influence the money supply, inflation, and economic growth. This helps in maintaining price stability and promoting sustainable economic development. 2. Inflation Control: - One of the primary objectives of central banks is to control inflation. Adjusting interest rates can impact consumer spending and business investment. Higher interest rates can discourage borrowing and spending, which may help to cool down an overheating economy and control inflation. Conversely, lower interest rates can stimulate economic activity during periods of low inflation or deflation. 3. Encouraging Investment and Borrowing: - Lower interest rates make borrowing more attractive for businesses and individuals. This encourages investment in capital projects, expansion, and consumption. This, in turn, stimulates economic growth and job creation. Conversely, higher interest rates may discourage borrowing and spending, which can be useful in preventing excessive borrowing and speculative bubbles. 4. Stabilizing Financial Markets: - Interest rate decisions can have a significant impact on financial markets. By adjusting rates, central banks aim to stabilize financial markets and prevent excessive volatility. For example, during times of economic uncertainty or financial crisis, central banks may lower interest rates to provide liquidity and stabilize financial institutions. 5. Exchange Rate Impact: - Interest rates can influence exchange rates, and changes in exchange rates can have implications for international trade and investment. Higher interest rates may attract foreign capital, leading to an appreciation of the currency. Conversely, lower interest rates may lead to a depreciation of the currency, potentially boosting exports. Central banks consider these effects when making interest rate decisions to maintain a balance in the external sector. It's important to note that the impact of interest rate decisions can vary depending on the overall economic conditions, including the stage of the economic cycle, inflationary pressures, and global economic factors. Additionally, the effectiveness of interest rate policies may have limitations, and central banks often need to consider a combination of monetary and fiscal measures to achieve their economic objectives.
