ETP Long Play November 2018Going to play ETP long here. It does not look uber bullish but I think it has one final push up before a retrace. It is sitting on the 61% fib and hit the target of this down leg. So I think we are heading up the way. There is bullish divergence on the RSI. Shorts are at an all time high so are due a squeeze. If everybody is short then everyone is right and imo it is never the majority that is correct otherwise everyone would make money and not just the few. Zoomed out view with targets. Being a Zero-Sum game there must be winners and losers. Usually it is not the crowd that wins. Longs vs Shorts. Too many shorts! Shorts ATH Longs

Money Management & Psychology 101SELF DEVELOPMENT/METHODOLOGY/PSYCHOLOGY Money Management/Psychology Cycle of Market Emotions The Upturn • Optimism: The normal financial specialist enters the market feeling hopeful. They may likewise have elevated requirements for the profits in which they are involved. • Excitement: When the market goes up, the desires begin to end up noticeably a reality and the financial specialist encounters commitment. • Thrill: The market proceeds up and the financial specialist is excited. • Euphoria: As the market achieves its peak, the financial specialist is euphoric and very certain that the market will proceed up. The Downturn • Anxiety: The market starts to plunge, producing sentiments of nervousness (Point 5). • Denial—The market keeps on falling, and the financial specialist experiences dissent with so many considerations as "It's alright, I'm in it for the long run," and "This is only a transitory misfortune," (Point 6). • Desperation and Panic—As the market cycles bring down still, sentiments of urgency and anger follow (Points 7 and 8, separately). • Surrender—Panic, in the long run, offers an approach to surrender when the financial specialist supposes "How might I have been so off-base? I cannot deal with being in the market anymore. I can't take any more misfortunes," (Point 9). The Bottom and the Recovery • Depression: While the financial specialist flounders in wretchedness (point 10), the market winds up in a sorry situation and offers a route to another bull. • Hope: As the market keeps on reinforcing, the financial specialist is confident that the market will proceed up (Point 11). • Relief: Once the market affirms it is in an uptrend, the speculator feels alleviation, however, they are as yet not sufficiently sure to contribute (Point 12). • Optimism: The financial specialist holds up until the point that they feel idealistic once more (Point 1 or frequently significantly later) before re-entering the market. As we portrayed over, this typically does not occur until the point that they have officially missed a huge bit of the up move, and their opportunity to recover misfortunes with it. Position Structure There are several trading software’s, which empowers the individuals to either structure or drive their framework by an individual or by position. Before the data is set-up in the control tables, an individual should choose which technique to utilise. The framework forms the data contrastingly relying upon the person’s decision. When the software is driven by an individual, work codes are utilised to arrange work information into gatherings. These codes are utilised to connect individual information to work information. When the software is driven by position, despite everything, work codes are utilised to make general gatherings or occupation arrangements in the association, for example, EEO (measure up to business opportunity) and pay review information.

Bitcoin Daily Update (day 248)I believe that it is possible to beat the market through a consistent and unemotional approach. This is primarily achieved through preparing instead of reacting. Click here to learn more about how I use the indicators below and Click here to get my complete trading strategy! Please be advised that I swing trade and will often hold onto a position for > 1 month. What you do with your $ is your business, what I do with my $ is my business. My recent Bitcoin Bubble Comparison - 3 Day Chart led to the following calls: < $5,750 by 11/15/2018 & my prediction for the bottom is $2,718 by 1/20/19 | My Bitcoin Bubble Comparison - Monthly Chart closely mirrored my price and time targets | Calling for $35 ETH before the end of 2018. Previous analysis / position: “If phase 2 doesn't hold then the target is phase 1, based on the rules of Tyler Jenks' hyperwave.” / Short USTD:USD from 0.968 with order at 0.97 to exit. Patterns: Testing bear trend after bouncing from phase 2 of the hyperwave Horizontal support and resistance: S: $6,338 | R: $6,470 & $6,815 BTCUSDSHORTS: Continues to fall toward support with no sign of reversal. TD’ indicates 2 days left to the downside Funding Rates: Longs pay shorts 0.0166% Short term trend (3 day MA): Bull Medium term trend (8 day MA): 8 Crossing 3. If it closes then bullish Long term trend ( 34 day MA): Appears to be flattening out, however if you use the Triple MA Forecast the next three candles are expected to continue to down trend. This is due to a few big green candles falling off from 34 days ago. Can find this indicator for free on trading view. Overall trend: There next three days will be extremely important to see if we can turn the long term trend up and make all of the trends bullish. For now I still view the overall trend as neutral. Volume: Starting to pick up ever so slightly. Still doesn’t resemble a bottom (low volatility and high volume) however it is better than nothing. FIB’s: Using Oct 15th candle) 0.5 = $6,483 | 0.618 = $6,405 Candlestick analysis: Broke through the top of yesterdays hanging man (invalidating it) and today’s today is nearly bullish engulfing (didn’t test below yesterday’s candle) | While typing this the 1h closed a bearish candle with the wick on top > the body Ichimoku Cloud: Trying to re enter 12h cloud, currently wicking off | 4h shows resistance quickly dissipating. TD’ Sequential: 4h g4 and 1h g2 show room left to the upside | Daily g5 agrees Visible Range: Looking back to last November the high volume node is 2X all other nodes and sits at $6,154 - $6,789. If the price closes above $6,789 at any point then that would be very bullish Price action: 24h: +0.78% | 2w: +0.15% | 1m: -2.17% Bollinger Bands: Still hasn’t tested the top of the daily band Trendline: Testing bear trend, watch out for bull trap Daily Trend: bull Fractals: Still haven’t broken up fractal at $6,497 RSI: Daily supported above 50 and has created a higher high | Short TF’s are not overbought Stochastic: Daily and 12h are approaching overbought zones Summary: This is the most interested I have been in watching the intraday Bitcoin' price action in months. After finding resistance from the bear trend two days ago we went on to create a higher low today (4h chart). The price is currently attempting to create a higher high and if the bulls follow through then that would be a breakthrough of the trendline. A clean breakthrough would come on high volume and then would have little trouble supporting a throwback (look for dragonfly / hammer of trendline support) which would create another higher low. Will that happen or will the bears hold strong at resistance? At this point I don’t think it is possible for anyone to provide more than a guess. Some made have better guesses than others, however even educated guesses lack subsistence and often do more harm than good. I strive for objectivity and will always avoid making subjective guesses. During times like this it is very important to stay on the sidelines and wait for further development. If you feel a strong impulse to get into action without a clear understanding of where the price is heading then you should use this time to develop the discipline required to overcome that urge to gamble. Either that, or you could play online poker / blackjack. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the gamble, however if you are trying to be profitable long term then a more professional mindstate is vital. Professionals are focusing on traditional markets while Bitcoin' figures out which direction it wants to go. At the time of this writing the Republicans have won 42 seats out of the 66 that have been declared. That is a good sign for the US markets as far as I am concerned and the markets responded favorably in the last couple hours of trading. The S&P' looks like it is ready for a strong rally tomorrow. However I remain convinced that the House of Representatives is the more important election. If the Republicans maintain majority then I strongly expect another 2 hours of a bull run in US equities. Based on the structure of the hyperwave, the next rally would be highly likely propel us into phase 4. If that happens then it will be hard for most to comprehend the potential upside. If want an idea look at Bitcoin's chart in November of 2017. That is where we went from phase 3 to phase 4 and the price proceeded to rally + 250% from prior all times highs.

Trend is your friend -[A lesson](NEVER GO AGAINST THE MARKET)EURAUD I learnt a lesson for lifetime here: I closed my short early around the 4th LL(MY TP had reached) : Now i wanted more so kept my longs but extinguished my Shorts. I had long positions buildup on every lower low considering the EUR to overpower AUD fundamentally. But it never occurred as you can see I did exit my longs during the Asian session as I saw the LL break but it was a fakeout for the session. In the End the fake move turned out to be the original move. How biased I became doing TA to justify My Longs and over 400$ in draw down(Wiping off all my gains for today and yesterday.) I made an A symmetric triangle for tend reversal then searched the web and realized it was a continuation pattern my mind played tricks on me. As soon as the Triangle broke I got out of the trade as I couldnt see my gains go to -ve.(So now im neutral for the week. All hardwork gone just cause i kept adding to my loosing position ) I even made a Inv H&S as you can see to justify that my long position was valid and shouldnt have closed em in loss. But thankgod I did Finally, friends be careful out there never go against the trend. So my holiday starts much sooner gonna take a breather here and start back again from monday. I Had my analysis of downtrend did take the trade. in-spite of that my mind kept playing tricks on me to add counter trend positions and IDK what I need to do to not make the same mistake again(Read more psychology books?) Any help would be wonderful.

BTCUSD Bankroll Wizardry Trade Idea No.1 (BTC LONG - Long term) 4hr,1D,1W Chart looks great on all time frames. This is a longer term play 1-3 Months Target 4.55 R/R ratio with an Entry at 6450 A Safe R/R and Position sizing example for beginners: if trader X has $10000 In total and put $1500 on this trade the max exposure to loss would be only 0.69% of total trading balance. If you wish to risk more and subsequently increase your win if the trade goes in the direction of choice you can simply apply Leverage on exchanges such as Deribit or Bitmex (use leverage at own risk) Trade Target is right on the next heavy horizontal resistance line at 7790 - You can manage your trade as the price encroaches upon the resistance line to either change to a short position or exit the trade with profit and wait for a retest if the resistance line breaks and chose weather or not to re enter the trade if you believe the market is going to go to higher price levels. Just bear in mind your R/R ratio does change as price action developed and it would be wise to manage the trade accordingly until you have determined the trade is no longer worth the candle. Stop loss is placed at 2 horizontal support levels lower than the price action currently is. This gives us plenty of breathing room before being stopped out however depending on your risk taking characteristics you can move the stop to sub 6xxx levels if you wish as the 6000 area for BTC tends to absorb all downward pressure this year so far. All in all Shorting BTC anywhere under the 6400 Area has been more often then not a risky move and it is of my own personal bias based on Technical analysis and market behavior that i firmly believe that going long anywhere from 6000-6500 USD is a sound long term strategy Play it safe. Dont risk more moeny for the sake of it. Protect your capital. Preserve your Capital. Grow your capital - Bankroll Wizardry

Dow Jones (Wall Street) - crash is an irrelevant issue.I explain in the screencast why I think 'crash' is an irrelevant issue. It is impossible to know whether 'we're in a crash' because a crash can only be discovered well into into it or after it has happened. True trend-followers will appreciate that all one can do is find a suitable trend - and follow it. Simple but I didn't say it was easy. In fact I will assert that true trend followers really don't care whether there will be a crash or the next market melt up. What people (in general) want, is to be able to foretell the future. Sorry, they can't - and no guru has such powers. We might prepare for the future in various ways. This is not ordinary life. It's not everyday activities like trying to find the safest point in time to cross a road. The reality is that markets are wild random things - pure chaos of a different order - where the 'normal rules' we may apply in everyday life just fail miserably. As I've said in other posts, a whole new mindset is needed to manage this very different sort of chaos. With 76 to -90% of real trader accounts consistently losing money (hard data), the battle is not with the charts or the markets. The battle is with yourself and your psychology.

Blowing up accounts can be a good thingIn this screencast I show some of my positions which are mirrored on my live account. I say that blowing up Tradingview paper accounts is a good thing. The present account has not been blown up for about a year, which is much better than before. I used to blow up an paper account every 3 to 6 months before. It's a very safe space to gain experience, to fail repeatedly but learning from the 'punisher' (the markets). I show a couple key positions and how I thought about them. I assert that a bit of common sense is useful when you know the characteristics of the instrument you're exploiting. But learning how each instrument tends to 'behave' can only be discovered by spending time and interacting in the markets. So I don't trust Wall Street - at all! I'll tighten my stops more aggressively if I'm in a very favourable position. Same for Yen pairs and Gold. USDJPY is relatively tame compared to other forex pairs just from my experience on 4H time frames. I'm delighted to point the way for new traders. PM me questions if you wish but I don't give advice, sell signals or courses/services, or give hot tips. I believe in facilitating new traders to discover their own best methods which match their individual psychologies.

Coinbase chart and two different attitudeI put two lines above the triangle: Red line: if red line is our big triangle line we didn't cross that line but there is a argument in which we have only to point of contacts and one of them is last tether pump and the other one is far away in the past. Blue one: this line has 5 point of contact and also it is more recently contacts. in this scenario we broke up this triangle. so what?! I think blue line is more significant but it may create this question in your mind that: "why we are confusing after breakout?" i think it's because of the fact that every trader put this line in different way and the pessimistic one's (obsessive traders!) always trying to put the lines in the way that they want. I mean you can move these line forever! this type of traders cant trade because they spend most of their time's to move the lines as price moves. please leave a comment what you think about this.

Bitcoin Daily Update (day 226)I believe that it is possible to beat the market through a consistent and unemotional approach. This is primarily achieved through preparing instead of reacting. Click here to learn more about how I use the indicators below and Click here to get my complete trading strategy! Please be advised that I swing trade and will often hold onto a position for > 1 month. What you do with your $ is your business, what I do with my $ is my business. My most recent Bitcoin Bubble Comparison led to the following predictions: 1 day - 14 days = < $5,750 | bottom prediction: $2,860 by 10/30 Previous analysis / position: “I no longer think that this selloff could be a fakeout. The reason being is how much time we have spent below $6,400 support.” / Short BTC:USD $6,330 | Stop loss was moved to slightly above breakeven on ETH:USD based on the 4h wicks, was triggered last night. Patterns: Descending triangle | Phase 2 hyperwave live Horizontal support and resistance: $6,250 BTCUSDSHORTS: Massive triangle starting to form. If daily candle closes above 39,750 then the target is 60,959. Funding Rates: Shorts pay longs 0.0263% 12 & 26 EMA’s (calculate % difference): 12: -2.30% | 26: -3.38% 50 & 128 MA’s: 50: -4.93% | 128: -6.36% Volume: Volume spike provides confirmation for my read that this isn’t a trap and also indicates that $6,500 - $6,600 should become very strong resistance FIB’s: 0.786: $6,259 | 0.618: $6,343 | 0.5: $6.402 Candlestick analysis: Re exploring wick from bullish spinning top, $6,327 will be the first line of resistance and I think it has a good chance of holding Ichimoku Cloud: D: Tenkan-sen at $6,469 will be apart of resistance cluster. Looks like it is starting to for C Clamp. 1h - 12h are bearish and the 1h has a thick cloud at $6,3227 - $6,436 TD’ Sequential: 1w: R1 | 1d: R4 | 12h: G3 | 4h: G4 | 1h: G5 Visible Range: Looking back 1 week: point of control = $6,272 and top of high volume node = $6,281 | Gap in volume up to $6,571 | Looking back 1 month the HVN’s pick up at $6,430 BTC’ Price Spreadsheet: 12h: +0.007% | 24h: +0.44% | 1w: -4.57% | 2w: -5.07% | 1m: -3.05% Bollinger Bands: Climbing back into daily band. MA at $6,515 will be apart of resistance cluster. Trendline: Bottom of symmetrical triangle at ~$6,550 will be apart of resistance cluster. Daily Trend: Chop Fractals: Down: $6,140 | Up: $6,701 RSI (30 setting): Weekly has fallen out of descending triangle and and is starting to turn over Stoch: Making bullish re cross on daily. 4h and 1h are overbought. Summary: Yesterday I outlined a possible short entry with a stop order at $6,239 and a stop loss at ~$6,330. If you took that position then the order should remain untriggered. If it were me I would leave it untouched since there is nothing that I have seen that would change my mind. I would also be fully prepared to sell $6,400 - $6,550. Whether that means limit orders on the books or price alerts is up to you. One of the hardest things about trading is waiting for your entry. Putting an order on the books and then waiting patiently for a fill induces anxiety, self-doubt and self-sabotage. That is one of the main reasons why I love trading! It exploits our most glaring weaknesses, exposes us for who we really are, and provides non-stop opportunity for personal growth. If you can learn how to establish a trading plan, prepare for an entry, place an order and then wait for > 24 hours for it to fill then you have more self control than the majority of gamblers and dopamine chasers. If that is something that you have trouble with then try it out. Start with a small position and then pay close attention to the thoughts, feelings and impulses that arise while waiting for a fill. IMO', one of the only things better than making money is learning and growing as a person/trader. Why do you love trading?

Analyzing Bitcoin like a game of war Sept 22There is a lot of trader sentiment leaning in both directions strongly. There is a lot of noobs bullish, and a lot of pro traders saying a retest of lower fib levels. There is a wide range of players spanning from black to white on this. Some people are pro but roll with the noobs, other are noobs and roll with the pros. This is the hive mind that drives BTC price. Nobody knows who will win. Lets all be honest. We've already tried going both directions multiple times, which shows the market is undecided and confused. BOTH SIDES are valid, therefore. The only variable that changes is TIME. Time creates PATTERNS. Therefore, patterns and time decide which way the market goes, because they are the only thing that is changing. If there was news, this would change the price. If there was an approaching deadline like EOY, that would change the price, but that is along the lines of TIME. Which of these can tip the scales of the balance? Which of these can decide the outcome? Most likely patterns. Patterns are starting to emerge which almost guarantee a move to everyone who knows them, like an emerging triangle or flag. XRP probably plays a big role in deciding what happens, since it is the one that pulled the market up, although surprisingly. Another option is a fakeout. Again, this is an emerging pattern. It tries to retest the fib level, then reverses and cause a massive rally, converting all pros who were waiting or were too late. This tips the balance. A bear trap. Lastly, there is time. Time might convert one or both of the sides. Then, it becomes a question of who has the most resolve. Naturally, since it's overextended, and the bulls are more emotional, and the pros are doing the preaching, the bulls will give in first. The bull's argument is that the price is going up. If that isn't happening (sideways) people stop listening to them.The only way they win is if they use the emerged patterns to breakout and convert the other side, or if more people join their ranks, most likely from the news (but it's not mainstream, and not really huge news until >$1...). Beyond that, the only other option of winning is to use the fakeout, mentioned earlier. A bear trap.

Elon Musk: Apparent pot-smoking, smokes TESLA's share price. Just to be 100% clear, I have not determined what Elon Musk was smoking on the Roe Jogan show. Media sources say it was pot. Video and audio evidence suggests that Musk knew or was led to believe that it was a cigar containing marijuana that about he was about to smoke. It is not clear if this was a prank. He smoked what he was offered. If it was a prank it was misguided. The point is that markets react to this sort of thing. It's about perception and human psychology - well 'beyond technical analysis'. There may be a limited opportunity to exploit any probability that the one-hour time frame gap could be be closed. Risky - I'm not in it on the one hourly time frame. Tesla's move south may have nothing to do with the 'incident'. Overall 'tech' stocks in the USA have been taking a beating. The FANGS have been taking a beating as international trade tensions hit home. I'm short on APPL - and at no-loss position.

Buy if breakout the triangleAs we can see volumes are lower and lower This mean there is no more liquidity coming from particular or from companies and not so much money by the financial institutions. We can observe a triangle, when it will breakout, that probably mean BTC is regaining interest on the most of people turning around crypto so a new leg up will keep attracting more and more people in it (particular or institutions/companies) and this can be the start of a new bullrun

Bitcoin and Ethereum - can you exploit FOMO? This is well beyond technical analysis - into the domain of human psychology. In this video I theorise on exploiting FOMO - which is psychological phenomenon - instead of just being a victim of it. I look briefly at Ehterium as well. An important thing for all markets is that the point of greatest fear is also the point of greatest opportunity. Please note that I am not predicting anything. I totally expect price to crash as well. All I can do is control my loss.

To boldly go beyond technical analysis towards self-analysisHaving been on Tradingview for the last few years, I've observed that perhaps 'the most important' aspect of trading is hardly ever discussed. I'm not sure why that its. Look, this is a loser's game. How? Read on. Some key estimates: 1. 90% of traders will lose money consistently. . 2. 80% of trading success depends on managing individual psychology. 3. It is possible to be consistently profitable even with a 30% win rate. I say that there is an invisible wall that affects many new and seasoned traders. How would I know? I've been there - and head-butted the wall! The difficult aspects of trading: 1. Managing risk 2. Self-deception 3. Finding reasonable entry and exit points. 4. Being disciplined - staying disciplined. 5. Changing patterns of cognition 6. Changing patterns of behaviour. 7. Managing external influences. 8. Managing emotions. Core trading skills to develop: 1. Finding trends early enough. 2. Calculating acceptable losses. 3. Exploiting trends. 4. Understanding when not to enter a trade. How do new traders get conned? 1. They have ideas or beliefs that there is some magic formula or system of trading that will work to beat the markets. 2. They are influenced to join training programs, most of which deliver little or no strategies for coping with the difficulties. 3. They move from program to program spending on 'hope'; losing as they go. 4. They spend on signalling services. The difficulty is that many traders have a difficult time seeing their own psychology. Note - I'm not talking about psychology in general or the stuff you find in textbooks. So a trader could focus on all manner of trading methodology and still have a very big problem. Dig deep fellow traders. The markets are their to punish you but also the markets are sound teachers.

Buying The EUR/USD Daily Double BottomIt appears that the vacant economic calendar and slow trading conditions are promoting a rotational EUR/USD. Until Friday’s U.S. CPI release, I expect this market to trade between the 38% Current Wave retracement (1.1612) and the June/July Double Bottom (1.1510). In the event the EUR/USD fails to sustain trade above the 1.1612 area, then we are in a position to test the Double Bottom just above the 1.1510 handle. For the remainder of the week, here is the trade: Entry: Buy 1.1512 Stop: 1.1474 Profit Target: 1.1549 Risk vs Reward Ratio: Very near 1/1
