Learn The Most Accurate Price Action Pattern Hey traders, We must admit that it is phenomenally difficult to become a consistently profitable trader. This journey requires years of practicing and training, constant losses, and nervous breakdowns. If you are a struggling trader, if you are still looking for your way to succeed in this game, here is the formula that will help you to chase consistent profits. 💰Consistent profits = 📝Trading Strategy + 🤬Emotions + 📈Market Sentiment Let's discuss each element separately. 📝Trading Strategy: To be in profit in a long run requires an understanding of what do you actually trade. You must have strict and objective entry conditions. You must rely on the objective & verifiable rules for the execution of market analysis. You must have a plan to follow. A plan that is backtested and proved its efficiency. 🤬Emotions: Even the best trading plan, the most accurate trading strategy can be easily beaten by emotions. Emotional decisions such as revenge trading and early position close can easily blow the account of any size in a blink of an eye. The most disappointing thing to note right here is the fact that you can be taught how to execute technical analysis but you can not be taught to control your emotions. Your main enemy here is yourself and being in a constant battle with your greed and fear it is very easy to go broke. Only by being humble, disciplined and patient, you can successfully apply a trading strategy. 📈Market Sentiment: Mastering your emotions and having studied a trading strategy, it looks like it is finally the time to make money. However, occasionally the market tends to be irrational. Being chaotic and unpredictable, sometimes the market neglects every technical and fundamental rule. Crisis, euphoria: the reasons can be different. The fact is that such things happen. And it is your duty to learn to deal with unfavorable market conditions. 💰To become a consistently profitable trader, you must become the master of these three elements. Only then the doors to freedom and independence will be opened to you. Let me know, traders, what do you want to learn in the next educational post?

Price action vs Indicators =, Another lie in trading ? I did not go into the details of "lagging" as it relates to indicators. Which is a true statement but its a misunderstood statement in the trading industry because most people don't truly understand what that means and also there are a lot of indicators that are leading. However in this video when I say "lagging" I am referring to the general idea in fx that indicators are useless because they are using past data.

Learn The Most Accurate Price Action Pattern Hey traders, If you are learning price action trading, you definitely must know a double bottom pattern. Double bottom is a reversal pattern. It is applied to spot early market reversal clues and catch the initiation of a new bullish trend . Preconditions for a double bottom: 1️⃣ The market must trade in a bearish trend . 2️⃣ After a formation of the last lower high, the price must set equal low. 3️⃣ The price must return back to the last lower high level. ✅Once these conditions are met the pattern is considered to be completed. The formation of the pattern is considered to be a ⚠️WARNING sign. Even though many traders buy the pattern once it is completed, for me it is not enough. ❗️Remember that the price can easily start to consolidate and form a horizontal channel for example. The trigger that we will look for is the breakout (candle close above) the last lower high level (based on a wick and its highest candle close) - the neckline. Being broken to the upside, the market sets a new higher high. It signifies a violation of a current bearish trend . ⬆️Attempting to catch an initiation of a bullish trend , we will buy the market with a buy limit order on a retest of a broken neckline. ❌Safest stop will lie below the lows of the pattern. 💰Your reward must be at least 1.5 of your risk. Following these simple rules, you will be impressed by how accurate this pattern is! Let me know, traders, what do you want to learn in the next educational post?

Beginners’ Guide to Asset Allocation and Diversification Even if you are new to investing, you may already know some of the most fundamental principles of sound investing. How did you learn them? Through ordinary, real-life experiences that have nothing to do with the stock market. For example, have you ever noticed that street vendors often sell seemingly unrelated products - such as umbrellas and sunglasses? Initially, that may seem odd. After all, when would a person buy both items at the same time? Probably never - and that’s the point. Street vendors know that when it’s raining, it’s easier to sell umbrellas but harder to sell sunglasses. And when it’s sunny, the reverse is true. By selling both items - in other words, by diversifying the product line - the vendor can reduce the risk of losing money on any given day. If that makes sense, you’ve got a great start on understanding asset allocation and diversification. This publication will cover those topics more fully and will also discuss the importance of rebalancing from time to time. Asset Allocation Asset allocation involves dividing an investment portfolio among different asset categories, such as stocks, bonds, and cash. The process of determining which mix of assets to hold in your portfolio is a very personal one. The asset allocation that works best for you at any given point in your life will depend largely on your time horizon and your ability to tolerate risk. Time Horizon Your time horizon is the expected number of months, years, or decades you will be investing to achieve a particular financial goal. An investor with a longer time horizon may feel more comfortable taking on a riskier, or more volatile, investment because he or she can wait out slow economic cycles and the inevitable ups and downs of our markets. By contrast, an investor saving up for a teenager’s college education would likely take on less risk because he or she has a shorter time horizon. Risk Tolerance Risk tolerance is your ability and willingness to lose some or all of your original investment in exchange for greater potential returns. An aggressive investor, or one with a high-risk tolerance, is more likely to risk losing money in order to get better results. A conservative investor, or one with a low-risk tolerance, tends to favor investments that will preserve his or her original investment. In the words of the famous saying, conservative investors keep a “bird in the hand,” while aggressive investors seek “two in the bush.” Stocks Stocks have historically had the greatest risk and highest returns among the three major asset categories. As an asset category, stocks are a portfolio’s “heavy hitter,” offering the greatest potential for growth. Stocks hit home runs, but also strike out. The volatility of stocks makes them a very risky investment in the short term. Large company stocks as a group, for example, have lost money on average about one out of every three years. And sometimes the losses have been quite dramatic. But investors that have been willing to ride out the volatile returns of stocks over long periods of time generally have been rewarded with strong positive returns. Bonds Bonds are generally less volatile than stocks but offer more modest returns. As a result, an investor approaching a financial goal might increase his or her bond holdings relative to his or her stock holdings because the reduced risk of holding more bonds would be attractive to the investor despite their lower potential for growth. You should keep in mind that certain categories of bonds offer high returns similar to stocks. But these bonds, known as high-yield or junk bonds, also carry higher risk. Cash Cash and cash equivalents - such as savings deposits, certificates of deposit, treasury bills, money market deposit accounts, and money market funds - are the safest investments, but offer the lowest return of the three major asset categories. The chances of losing money on an investment in this asset category are generally extremely low. The federal government guarantees many investments in cash equivalents. Investment losses in non-guaranteed cash equivalents do occur, but infrequently. The principal concern for investors investing in cash equivalents is inflation risk. This is the risk that inflation will outpace and erode investment returns over time. Stocks, bonds, and cash are the most common asset categories. These are the asset categories you would likely choose from when investing in a retirement savings program or a college savings plan. But other asset categories - including real estate, precious metals and other commodities, and private equity - also exist, and some investors may include these asset categories within a portfolio. Investments in these asset categories typically have category-specific risks. Before you make any investment, you should understand the risks of the investment and make sure the risks are appropriate for you. Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

HOW TO TRADE FIBONACCI RETRACEMENTS: THE SHORT GUIDEHey there, traders. One of the common tools we use for technical analysis are Fib retracements and a lot of you been asking on how to use them properly. Well, today is your lucky day :) Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool that is widely used by traders to identify potential levels of support and resistance in financial markets, including forex markets. The tool is based on the mathematical sequence known as the Fibonacci sequence, which is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The Fibonacci Retracement levels of 0.5 and 0.618 are two of the most important levels used in this tool. In this article, we will discuss how to use these levels for trading forex markets. Understanding Fibonacci Retracement Levels Before we dive into the specifics of using the 0.5 and 0.618 levels, let's briefly review the concept of Fibonacci Retracement. The tool is based on the idea that markets tend to retrace a predictable portion of a move, after which they may continue in the same direction or reverse. The retracement levels are calculated using the Fibonacci sequence, and they represent potential levels of support or resistance. The key levels are 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, and 0.786. Using 0.5 and 0.618 Levels for Trading Forex Markets The 0.5 and 0.618 levels are particularly important because they are close to the midpoint of a move, and they are based on the golden ratio, which is a key number in mathematics and nature. The 0.5 level represents a 50% retracement of a move, while the 0.618 level represents a 61.8% retracement. To use these levels for trading forex markets, you can follow these steps: Step 1: Identify a Trend The first step is to identify a trend in the market. You can do this by analyzing the price action on a chart and looking for a series of higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend, or lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend. Step 2: Draw Fibonacci Retracement Levels Once you have identified a trend, you can draw the Fibonacci Retracement levels using a tool provided by your trading platform. You will need to identify the high and low points of the trend, and then draw the retracement levels from the high to the low in an uptrend, or from the low to the high in a downtrend. Step 3: Watch for Reversals at 0.5 and 0.618 Levels The 0.5 and 0.618 levels are potential levels of support or resistance, and they can act as turning points in a trend. If the price retraces to one of these levels, you should watch for signs of a reversal, such as a bullish or bearish candlestick pattern, or a divergence in an oscillator indicator or any other personal confirmation for potential entry. Step 4: Confirm with Other Indicators To increase the probability of a successful trade, you should confirm the potential reversal with other technical indicators, such as a moving average, a trendline, or a momentum indicator, check with the fundamentals and most importantly confirm that it aligns with your original bias regarding the pair. This will help you to avoid false signals and improve your trading accuracy. Step 5: Enter the Trade and Set Stop Loss and Take Profit Levels Since the entry was at the "Golden zone", the exit would be around the 0% Fib level. Yes, you just missed half of the trend, but it's a consistent tool that can help you get that edge over the market that you need. We hope you found this useful and please let us know on what you would want us to cover next!

Learn Fibonacci Retracement Tool ☸️WHAT ARE FIB RETRACEMENT LEVELS Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate the possible support and resistance levels where price could potentially reverse direction. The first thing you should know about the Fibonacci tool is that it works best when the market is trending. The idea is to go long on a retracement at a Fibonacci support level when the market is trending UP. And to go short on a retracement at a Fibonacci resistance level when the market is trending DOWN. Fibonacci retracement levels are considered a predictive technical indicator since they attempt to identify where price may be in the future. ☸️FINDING FIB RETRACEMENT LEVELS In order to find these Fibonacci retracement levels, you have to find the recent significant Swing Highs and Swings Lows. Then, for downtrends, click on the Swing High and drag the cursor to the most recent Swing Low. For uptrends, do the opposite. Click on the Swing Low and drag the cursor to the most recent Swing High. ☸️HOW TO USE Once you’ve done that, you will see the following levels appear: 23.6% , 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8% and 76.4%. (The 50% one is not technically a Fib level but its still used by everyone)The idea is that the price will make a correction that will reverse at one of these levels. So all we need to do is watch the price action near these levels and look for the reversal patterns, like triple bottom, head and shoulders, narrowing wedge breakouts, etc… Once the we see a confluence of the Fib level and the reversal pattern, we can just wait for the confirmation breakout and enter the trade on the pullback. EASY!👻 ☸️WHY IT WORKS Because of all the people who use the Fibonacci tool, those levels become self-fulfilling support and resistance levels. If enough market participants believe that a retracement will occur near a Fibonacci retracement level and are waiting to open a position when the price reaches that level, then all those pending orders will impact the market price. ☸️IMPORANT REMINDER One thing you should take note of is that price won’t always bounce from these levels. They should be looked at as areas of interest so as I wrote above, one can’t simply trade off these levels, but needs to employ reversal patterns with confirmation to increase the probability rate of one’s calls.

4 important trade tips on price actionWhen it comes to trading, there are a few key things you need to keep in mind in order to be successful. In this blog post, we'll cover four important trade tips that focus on price action. By keeping these tips in mind, you'll be better equipped to make profitable trade decisions going forward. №1: Identifying the current market structure The first step to take when trying to identify the current market structure is to examine the overall market trend. This will give you a good idea of whether the market is trending up, down, or sideways. You can use a variety of tools to help you with this, such as trend lines, moving averages, and price action. Once you have a good idea of the overall market trend, you can then start to look for areas of value. These areas could be support or resistance levels, depending on the market trend. For example, if the market is trending downward, you would look for areas where the price has bounced off of support in the past. If the market is trending upward, you would look for areas where the price has bounced off of resistance in the past. It's also important to watch out for price volatility when trying to identify the current market structure. This will help you understand if the market is on the move or consolidating. Price volatility can be caused by a number of factors, such as news events, economic data releases, and even just changes in investor sentiment. Finally, pay attention to chart patterns and breakout levels. These can be important clues for future market direction. Some common chart patterns include head and shoulders, triangles, and double tops/bottoms. №2: Identifying major areas of value In order to identify major areas of value, traders should: 1) First take a look at the overall market trend to get an idea of whether the market is moving up, down, or sideways. 2) Identify potential support and resistance levels. 3) Watch out for price volatility to better understand if the market is on the move or consolidating. 4) Monitor chart patterns and breakout levels, as they can provide important clues for future market direction. №3: Watching for price volatility Price volatility can be defined as sudden changes in prices. These changes can be either up or down, and they often happen very quickly. Price volatility is a normal part of the market, and it happens for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes of price volatility include news events, economic data releases, and central bank decisions. One of the most important things that traders need to do is to watch for price volatility. By monitoring price movements, traders can take advantage of market swings to make profits. There are a few different ways to do this. One way is to use technical indicators, such as Bollinger Bands or the Average True Range indicator. Another way is to simply pay attention to price action and look for signs of a potential breakout. When it comes to identifying when the market is volatile, there are a few different things that traders can look for. First, they can look at the overall level of market activity. If there is a lot of activity, it is likely that prices will start to move around more. Second, traders can look at the size of the candlesticks on a price chart. If they are getting bigger or smaller, it could be an indication that prices are starting to move more aggressively. Finally, traders can also listen to news reports and economic data releases for clues about potential market moves. There are a few different techniques that traders can use to monitor price volatility. One way is to set up alerts on their trading platform so that they are notified whenever there is a sudden change in prices. Another way is to check in on the markets regularly throughout the day so that they can spot any potential changes as they happen. №4: Chart patterns and breakout levels One of the most important things for traders to know is how to identify chart patterns and breakout levels. This knowledge can help them take advantage of market swings to make profits. There are many different types of chart patterns that traders can use to their advantage. Some of the most common include head and shoulders, double tops and bottoms, triangles, and flag and pennant patterns. Each of these patterns can give traders clues about future market direction. Head and shoulders patterns, for example, often form at the end of an uptrend and can signal that the market is about to reverse course. Double top and bottom patterns can also be used to predict market reversals. Triangles typically form during periods of consolidation and can be used to trade both breakout and continuation setups. Flag and pennant patterns often form during periods of consolidation and can also be used to trade breakout setups. When it comes to trading breakouts, it is important for traders to wait for multiple confirmations before taking a trade. This means that they should look for other signs that the market is about to move in the direction they are anticipating before entering a trade. Some things traders can look for include a sharp increase in volume, a break above or below key resistance or support levels, or a strong move in price away from the pattern itself. By knowing how to identify chart patterns and breakout levels, traders can take advantage of market swings to make profits. These techniques are some of the most important tools in a trader's toolbox and can help them become more successful in the markets. Conclusion The conclusion of the article should cover the four important trade tips on price action. These tips are designed to help traders make better decisions and maximize their profits. By following these tips, traders will be able to better navigate the market and make more informed decisions that can lead to successful trades. Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

Learn False Breakout in Trading | Technical Analysis Basics ⭕️False-breakouts are exactly what they sound like: a breakout that failed to continue beyond a level, resulting in a ‘false’ breakout of that level. False breakout patterns are one of the most important price action trading patterns to learn, because a false-break is often a very strong clue that price might be changing direction or that a trend might be resuming soon. ⭕️A false-break of a level can be thought of as a ‘deception’ by the market, because it looks like price will breakout but then it quickly reverses, deceiving all those who took the ‘bait’ of the breakout. It’s often the case that amateurs will enter what looks like an ‘obvious’ breakout and then the professional’s will push the market back the other way ⭕️A false breakout is essentially a ‘contrarian’ move in the market that ‘flushes’ out those traders who may have entered on emotion, rather than logic and forward thinking. ⭕️Generally speaking, a false-breakout happens because amateur traders or those with ‘weak hands’ in the market will tend to enter the market only when it ‘feels safe’ to do so. This means, they tend to enter when a market is already quite extended in one direction (and it’s about ready to retrace) or they try to ‘predict’ a breakout from a key support or resistance level too early. Professional traders watch for these missteps by the amateurs, and the end result is a very good entry for them with a tight stop loss and huge risk reward potential. ⭕️It takes discipline and a bit of ‘gut feel’ to know when a false-break is likely to occur, and you can never really know ‘for sure’ until after one has formed. The important thing, is to know what they look like and how to trade them. Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

Price Action Candlesticks Cheatsheet — The Best Patterns!These different price action patterns are great for various situations. They can be identified at a Lower time frame or Higher timeframe, pick a chart and start looking at the candles! If you identify any of these in a chart you are looking at today, feel free to share them below. Here is a little more about bullish and bearish candlesticks: Bullish and bearish candlesticks represent opposite market sentiments in technical analysis. They are used to identify the buying and selling pressure in a financial market, and help traders to predict the direction of price movement. A bullish candlestick is represented by a green or white candlestick that has a long body and a short wick or no wick. A long green or white body indicates that the closing price of the asset is higher than the opening price. It signifies that buyers are in control and that there is bullish sentiment in the market. The longer the body of the candle, the more significant the bullish sentiment. On the other hand, a bearish candlestick is represented by a red or black candlestick that has a long body and a short wick or no wick. A long red or black body indicates that the closing price of the asset is lower than the opening price. It signifies that sellers are in control and that there is bearish sentiment in the market. The longer the body of the candle, the more significant the bearish sentiment. Traders use bullish and bearish candlesticks to identify trend reversals, support and resistance levels, and to confirm other technical indicators. When a bullish candlestick pattern appears after a series of bearish candlesticks, it may indicate a potential reversal of the trend. Conversely, when a bearish candlestick pattern appears after a series of bullish candlesticks, it may indicate a potential reversal of the trend. No single candlestick should be used to make trading decisions, and traders should always consider other technical indicators and fundamental analysis before making any trading decisions.

Learn Engulfing Candlestick Pattern ☑️WHAT IS A BULLISH ENGULFING CANDLE? The bullish engulfing candle appears at the bottom of a downtrend and indicates a surge in buying pressure. The bullish engulfing pattern often triggers a reversal in trend as more buyers enter the market to drive prices up further. The pattern involves two candles with the second candle completely engulfing the body of the previous red candle. ☑️HOW TO SPOT A BULLISH ENGULFING PATTERN AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN? ▪️Characteristics of a bullish engulfing pattern: • Strong green candle that ‘engulfs’ the prior red candle body (disregard the wicks) • Occurs at the bottom of a downward trend • Stronger signals are provided when the red candle is a doji, or when subsequent candles close above the high of the bullish candle. ▪️What does it tell traders? • Trend reversal to the upside (bullish reversal) • Selling pressure losing momentum at this key level. ▪️Advantages of trading with the bullish engulfing candle: • Easy to identify • Attractive entry levels can be obtained after receiving confirmation of the bullish reversal. ☑️KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BULLISH AND A BEARISH ENGULFING PATTERN Engulfing patterns can be bullish and bearish. The bearish engulfing pattern is essentially the opposite of the bullish engulfing pattern discussed above. Instead of appearing in a downtrend, it appears at the top of an uptrend and presents traders with a signal to go short. It is characterized by a green candle being engulfed by a larger red candle. ☑️CONCLUSION A Bullish Engulfing Candle becomes an excellent tool for the trader, once he masters how to use it properly! ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ What do you want to learn in the next post?

Relative Strength Index (RSI) | Technical Indicator You Must Kno ✳️What is the RSI Indicator What is the RSI Indicator? The relative strength index is a market indicator that signals when the asset is over-bought or over-sold. This is a momentum-following indicator that measures how fast the price is moving and changing. The RSI uses different types of averages, but its primary purpose is to show whether a trend is strong or weak within a series of prices. In general, a strong trend is indicated by values close to 100 while a bearish trend is often indicated by a value near 0. ✳️RSI Indicator Settings The RSI has the standard setting. When you activate the indicator in any platform the defualt setting are 3 values. They are 6, 14 and 24. These are averages. The 30 and 70 value lines are calculated based on the lower and upper values and the middle lines is the oscillar which is a 14 period average. When the 14 period oscillator is above the 24 period is overbought and when the 14 period is below the 6 period is oversold. ✳️Opening Positions on RSI Signals The main signal the RSI oscillator generates allows defining overbought and oversold price ranges. Although it is frequently used as a filter in systems where the main indicator is a trend one, it might be possible to try trading using RSI signals only. When indicator’s line goes above the level 70 or below the level 30, it signals that market is overbought/oversold, and it is necessary to wait for the next signal confirming a trend reversal. ✳️RSI Trendlines Contrary to popular belief, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a leading indicator. This quality can be observed by using trendlines on the RSI chart and trading its break. When the RSI is rising, an upward trendline is drawn by connecting two or more lows and projecting the line into the future. Similarly, when the RSI is falling, a downward trendline is drawn by connecting two or more highs and projecting the line into the future. A break of an RSI trendline precedes an actual price reversal or continuation in the market. For instance, if the asset price breaks above a downward trendline, it is a signal that the price is about to edge upwards, either as a continuation of an uptrend or as a reversal of an existing downtrend in the market. ✳️RSI and Chart Patterns The Relative Strength Index is one of the best technical indicators to complement raw price action signals delivered by candlestick patterns or line chart patterns. For instance, when a bullish candlestick, such as a pin bar, or a price chart pattern, such as a double bottom, occurs in a downtrend, a buy position can be opened when the RSI displays a reading of below 30 to imply oversold conditions. ✳️RSI Divergence The Relative Strength Index also delivers divergence signals that could be a viable trading opportunity. A divergence occurs when the asset price and RSI do not move in the same direction. A positive (bullish) divergence occurs when the price is drifting lower, but the RSI is edging higher. This is a signal that the price may be heading towards a bottom and an upward reversal is about to happen. On the other hand, a negative (bearish) divergence occurs when the price is drifting higher, but the RSI is going lower. This is a signal that price may be heading towards a top and a downward reversal is about to happen. ✳️RSI and RVI Both the RSI and the RVI(Relative Vigor Index) are oscillators, but their different qualities can help traders to pick out high-quality RSI trading opportunities in the market. Whereas the RSI focuses on price extremes (high and low), the computation of RVI seeks to relate closing prices to open prices. This means that the RVI has both positive and negative numbers, with the centreline being 0. The RVI gives information on the strength of price movement, with positive values indicating increasing momentum, whereas negative values denote decreasing momentum. The RSI is the best indicator to complement or qualify the signals delivered by the RVI, especially in trending markets. For instance, if the market is in an uptrend and the RVI delivers a bearish divergence signal (prices go higher whereas RVI goes lower). In this case, a retracement or a trend reversal will be confirmed if the RSI reading is above 70, which implies overbought trading conditions. ✳️Here is the list, though now at all exhausting of the ways to use RSI in your trading. I will add that I use it myself, even though you don’t see it on my charts for aesthetic reasons. Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

How To Have An Edge Over The Markets 📚Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. Today I want to share a basic trading plan that you can follow to quantify your trading edge. 📌 Step 1: First, start from the higher timeframes like Daily/Weekly to identify the current long-term trend. is it bullish, bearish or stuck inside a range? If the price is sitting in the middle of nowhere, then it is a NO trade zone as price has 50% change to go either up or down. Thus no edge! 📚 Wait for the price to approach the lower bound or upper bound. Then proceed to Step 2 📌 Step 2: No matter how strong a horizontal / non-horizontal support or resistance is, it can still be broken. Thus don't buy/sell blindly as price approaches a support/resistance. Instead, zoom in to lower timeframes like H1 and M30 to look for setups. 🏹A basic approach would be to wait for a swing low to be broken downward around a resistance as a signal that the bears are taking over. In parallel, wait for a swing high to be broken upward around a suppor t for the bulls to take over. This would be the confirmation to enter the trade. Of course, your second edge would be through risk management by targeting at least double than your indented risk. But that's a topic for another post 😉 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Hope you find the content of this post useful 🙏 All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich

Learn Risk-Reward Ratio | Risk Management For Beginners 📚The risk-reward ratio (or risk return ratio) measures how much your potential reward (or return) is, for every dollar you risk. 📚For example: If you have a risk-reward ratio of 1:3, it means you’re risking $1 to potentially make $3. If you have a risk-reward ratio of 1:5, it means you’re risking $1 to potentially make $5. You get my point. ⚠️Now, here’s the biggest lie you’ve been told about the risk reward ratio: “You need a minimum of 1:2 risk reward ratio.” This statement is incorrect! Because the risk-reward ratio is meaningless on its own. 📚Here’s an example: Let’s say you have a risk reward ratio of 1:2 (for every trade you win, you make $2). But, your winning rate is 20%. So out of 10 trades, you have 8 losing trades and 2 winners. Let’s do the math… Total Loss = $1 * 8 = -$8 Total Gain = $2 * 2 = $4 Net loss = -$4 By now I hope you understand the risk reward ratio by itself is a meaningless metric. Instead, you must combine your risk-reward ratio with your winning rate to know whether you’ll make money in the long run (otherwise known as your expectancy). 📍THEREFORE: The key to success is the combination of the RR and Win Rate in such a fashion that yields a positive return. 📙Example: 🔘If your RR is 1:1 then you start making money with 51% win rate and above. 🔘If your RR is 1:1,5 then you start making money with 41% Win rate and above. 🔘If your RR is 1:2 then you start making money with 34% win rate and above. 🔴The higher the RR the lower is the breakeven Win Rate!

TOP 5 Price Action Secrets You Must Know 🔴Multi-candle patterns are more reliable The more candles a specific pattern contains, the more reliable it usually is. 3 candle patterns are better than single candle patterns. 30 candle patterns are usually better than 3 candle patterns. Patterns like head and shoulders, double and triple tops are among my favorites, exactly because of this reason. They consistently result in higher probability trades, which is what we’re all after. It doesn’t mean that a good pin bar setup won’t work, it just means there’s a higher probability of having these multi-candle setups resulting in a winning trade. 🟠Know where to place your stop loss Knowing where to place an order is just the beginning. Where do you place your stop loss? Fixed pips stop loss levels are hardly a good approach since the market volatility can change and every trade should be looked at within the context of the recent market history. 🟢Always look for confluence This is absolutely one of the most important secrets you have to know about. Confluence is everything. So you’ve found a sweet price action setup. Great! Now make sure it has confluence, meaning that it coincides with other valid signals that support your trading idea. 🔵Tell a story of what happened Every chart tells a story. It might be a story of clear direction or a story of messy back-and-forth battling between buyers and sellers. In a similar way, we can talk about clean price action vs messy price action. It is up to the trader to find the story and better understand what the market might do. 🟣Context is everything Depending on where a price action setup occurs, you should interpret it differently. The same pin bar could be bullish or bearish, depending on if they show up at the bottom of a downtrend or top of an uptrend, respectively. Not all patterns are also worth taking if they are not preceded by the right price action and happen at the levels that are in one way or the other of significance. 🟤Identify key support & resistance zones Support and resistance (or S&R for short) are terms used to denote areas where price reverses at its lowest point (support) and the highest point (resistance) on a chart. Often, these zones are “tested” multiple times as traders look for an increased buyer and seller activity around these levels. It’s important to note that support and resistance are usually not thin lines, but rather zones. 🔴The Bottom Line The price action strategy is one of the most powerful tools for extracting money from the markets with predictability and manageable risks, but only if used correctly.

❗️USE STOP LOSS AND BECOME A BETTER TRADER❗️ 🟩STOP LOSS IS:A stop-loss order is an order that automatically closes a losing position once the price hits the pre-specified level. We usually calculate SL in pips, but there can be many ways to set it. It can be time based, percentage based or volatility based. For some investors SL is some piece of critical news, which alters their perception of the value of the asset. Regular stop losses can be many and varied too, for example trailing stop. Also, we sometimes move SL to entry after the half close to protect the gains and make our position risk free.However, all situations I listed above have one thing in common and it is the fact that the SL was used! 🟥Honestly, I am amused by the massive number of people who send me screenshots of their MT4 with several open trades on the same pair all of them without SL and with 90% of account lost. And they ask me what should they do? A great illustration of what is would take to recover from such a loss, is on the drawing above. With the 90% loss, you have only one tenth of the original account left. That means you need to make ten times more money than you have left just to recover your losses. 999% gain needs to be made just to have your old account back. It took you a day to blow it, and might take months to recover the losses. This is the brutality of the trading. The market is unforgiving and will punish you if you treat is without respect. If you are careless or if you make mistakes. The market always comes back to collect, waiting for the moment you drop your guard and relax for a second. Please always use Stop Loss, because, as it happens, it stops you from losing too much! I Hope you guys learned something new today✅ Wish you all Best Of Luck👍 😇And may the odds be always in your favor😇 Do you like this post? Do you want more articles like that?

The Doube Bottom Pattern - Bullish PatternThe **Double Bottom** is a price action pattern that is indicative of a trend change once activated. Price needs to establish a bearish expansion towards the lows before reversing with an impulse. The impulse then needs to get sold into; this will create a retest of the previous low that must hold. Price action will establish a “W” structure which become a sign of demand that leads to a bullish expansion. Key Characteristics of the **Double Bottom** - Price Action must first establish a bearish expansion - The retest of the previous low most hold - A ‘W’ like formation will confirm demand at the lows

Trend Channel Early Direction and Best Entry NIS- Nava Imbalance Strategy - Using Only Price Action, We can find the best entry to catch those HUGE returns! This is how to detect early direction and perfect entries and exit points using Wycoff method. (on diagonal trend channels not support/resistance) This Wycoff pattern will create imbalances on parallel trend channels. IMBALANCE (price moves outside of trend channel then returns.) First imbalance is showing who is in charge regardless of trend channel direction. Example -IF first imbalance is on top, & trend channel is going up, Look for entry at new imbalance #2 at the bottom of trend channel to catch biggest move. Best Entry = @Fakeout / Safe Entry= @ return to trend and retest trend line. -IF first imbalance is on top, & trend channel is going down, Price will move with trend until higher time frame trend channel line is hit. Price will then start to return to imbalance below slowly. This pattern repeats on all trend channels that have been correctly placed. - We find correct channel placements by making trend channels from daily down to entry time frame. - Hide higher timeframe trend channels to see better in the lower time frame channels but will need to see where they are as price approaches the trend lines. - Trend channels like to continue the push of a trend until bounce of higher time frame trend channel lines to follow higher trend channel or breakout. You can follow price with trend channels once you have entered until price starts making imbalances in the opposing direction.

Who is in control??An important element of studying price action is often ignored, even though it is perhaps the most important one - at least for swing traders. WHO IS IN CONTROL OF THE MARKET AT THIS TIME? After all we all want to trade in the direction where the strength lies. In this example of USDJPY, note how large the recent bullish candles are. This shows momentum lies with the bears. Note also that these large candles close very near to the low of their range. This shows the lack of bulls. Don't miss the fact that the pullbacks are quite shallow - another pointer. See on the chart, the difference between the time taken by both sides to attain the same price points. None of this is pointing to a possible trade right away, but it does help to point you in the direction where you should be looking. Always use sound money and risk management and stay patient in all your trades. If you like my analysis, please give it a “thumbs up” and follow me to get even more awesome content.

What is day trading?What is day trading? Day trading is the buying and selling of stocks, foreign exchange, commodities and other assets or financial derivatives during a single trading session. Traders speculate on the movement in asset prices by employing various strategies. Decades ago, day trading was undertaken only by investment firms, financial institutions, trading funds and brokerages. Today, online trading platforms have brought day trading to the palm of a retail investor’s hand. According to US investment bank BNY Mellon, retail investors have become a “growing force to be reckoned with”. Their share of total equities traded went up to nearly 25% in 2021, from the 10% to 15% reported in the first decade of the 2000s. For many retail investors, day trading has become a career. Others have burnt their hands trying to make profits from this risky and fast-paced short-term strategy. Now that we have gone through the definition of day trading, let us read more about day traders, their techniques and strategies, and day trading examples. Life of a day trader An experienced day trader’s session will start hours before the market opens or the night before. The trader will take their time to analyze price charts, investor sentiment, corporate news, macroeconomic developments and more. As the stock market opens in the morning, some traders may sit on the sidelines in the first hour of a trading session to avoid the opening minutes that tend to be volatile. After the market settles, day traders spend the day scanning for market opportunities. Day traders usually stick to securities that they have experience with as they will be aware of the little intricacies regarding that particular security. The day trader will open and close positions according to their price targets and risk tolerance. A trader’s setup may involve hedging to protect against unexpected losses. Day trading is particularly popular with foreign exchange traders. Popular Forex pairs have deep liquidity and tight spread, which allow day traders to speculate on small price movements. Strategies used by day traders To understand how day trading works, readers need to know about the various intraday strategies used by traders. Scalping Scalping involves a day trader aiming to speculate on small changes in an asset’s price. Traders place numerous short-lived scalp trading bets in a day so that small profits add up to a significant daily gain. Day traders need to implement a strict exit strategy to prevent large losses. Range trading Day traders are known for their use of technical analysis which involves identifying support and resistance price levels and analysing price trends, volume and volatility. Range trading involves buying and selling of securities between a range of price where the top price is determined by the price resistance level and the bottom is determined by the price support level. Algorithmic day trading Algorithmic trading involves execution of trade orders based on pre-programmed instructions based on price, time and volume of a security. Algorithmic trading is extensively used by hedge funds and investment banks to carry out day trades in large orders at high speed. This is also known as high-frequency trading. News-based day trading The trader will set up his trade setup based on trading opportunities arising from expected corporate and macroeconomic developments. An example of this type of day trading is anticipating a fall in broad markets before the publication of market-moving data such as inflation numbers or corporate earnings calls. Day trading explained through examples To better understand day trading, let’s look at the following example. Note that it is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice. John is a self-taught day trader who has learnt the art of intraday trading over time through trial and error. He specialises in stock trading and is particularly interested in the US equity market. Over the years, John has traded Apple (APPL) shares extensively and is well-versed with developments at the iPhone maker. Before Apple’s fourth-quarter earnings announcement, John conducted a thorough research on Apple and concluded that the company will report strong revenue and profit growth. John aimed to trade using news-based trading and range bound trading techniques on the day of the result announcement. The trader opened an intraday position with a target price of $155, based on identified resistance levels, and a stop-loss at $135, based on identified support levels for Apple shares trading at $145. If Apple announces higher-than-expected earnings, which would cause the stock to rise to a level above $155, John will book profit. In case the company surprises on the downside, causing the stock price to fall, John’s position will automatically close when the price falls below $135, booking a loss. During the day, John will constantly monitor Apple’s intraday performance to react to unexpected market volatility and to adjust his profit-taking and stop-loss levels, according to real-time performance. by capital.com
