How to go through a LOSING STREAK better?
🍏1. Everything starts with preparation and true expectations. Losing streaks will happen from time to time, accept it if you want to be a good trader. Even the best traders on the planet have them. But it’s the reaction to them that separates good and bad traders.
Know your probability of losing streak, based on your own backtesting and accept them before they even happen. Keep longterm focus!
🍋2. Make sure you’re practicing process based trading, not outcome based. Before every trade, ask yourself if anyone in the whole worlds can say the outcome of any individual trade? The answer is obvious - no one can do it. So is it rational to build expectation of a specific market moves in this individual trade, or nearest several trades - that they are completely uncertain and you are working with random distribution of your edge.
🥥3. Once in a streak, remind yourself about your testing. See that over the past 200 or more trades, you were profitable, at least RR wise. These 5-6 losing trades you’re having now are just a very small part of a huge data collection you did before, and they are part of random distribution.
🍈4. In a losing streak, there’s usually an urge to trade more to earn the lost $ amount back. It’s a mistake, as overtrading will lead to only one outcome - even more loss in short or longterm perspective.
🍎5. In the past, I wanted to reach some state of unbreakable consistency, "once and for all", and when I thought I did it, I started to expect things to be easy from now on and not to struggle or put effort, cause now I'm fully consistent. And that was exact moment when everything fell apart.
The truth is, at least for me and for now, is that I need to make good decisions - mentally and technically - EVERY DAY and EVERY MOMENT, to actually prove I'm consistent. And consistency is dynamic, I'll continue to work on it, it's like gardening, when you need to put some effort everyday and it's never fixed or done, at least for me.

Gold price recovers further from multi-week low, upside potentiaTechnical Analysis: Gold price might struggle to capitalize on the modest intraday positive move
From a technical perspective, any subsequent move up is likely to confront some resistance near the $2,040 horizontal zone, above which the Gold price could aim to retest Friday's swing high, around the $2,063-2,064 region. The next relevant hurdle is pegged near the $2,077 area, which if cleared decisively will negate any near-term negative outlook and allow bulls to reclaim the $2,100 round figure.
On the flip side, the overnight swing low, around the $2,017-2016 region, now seems to protect the immediate downside ahead of the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), currently near the $2,012-2,011 area. This is followed by the $2,000 psychological mark, below which the Gold price could accelerate the slide towards the $1,988-1,986 intermediate support en route to the December low, around the $1,973 area and the $1,962 confluence, comprising the 100- and the 200-day SMAs
•Gold price attracts some buyers on Tuesday and draws support from a weaker US Dollar.
•A fall in consumer inflation expectations boosts Fed rate-cut bets and undermines the buck.
•Elevated US bond yields and a positive risk tone cap gains ahead of the US CPI on Thursday.
Gold price (XAU/USD) gains some positive traction during the Asian session on Tuesday and moves away from a near three-week low, around the $2,017-2,016 region touched the previous day. A fall in US Consumer Inflation Expectations boosts market bets that the Federal Reserve (Fed) may start cutting interest rates as early as March. This keeps the US Dollar (USD) bulls on the defensive for the second successive day and turns out to be a key factor benefitting the non-yielding yellow metal.
Investors, however, have been scaling back their expectations for a more aggressive Fed policy easing in the wake of hopes for a soft landing for the US economy, bolstered by a still-resilient labor market. Adding to this, the recent hawkish remarks by several Fed officials have raised uncertainty about the possibility of early interest rate cuts, which remains supportive of elevated US Treasury bond yields. This should help limit losses for the USD and cap any further gains for the Gold price.
Apart from this, a positive trading sentiment around the Asian equity markets might further contribute to keeping a lid on the safe-haven XAU/USD. Traders might also refrain from placing aggressive bets and prefer to wait for the release of the latest US consumer inflation figures on Thursday for cues about the Fed's future policy decision. This, in turn, will play a key role in influencing the USD price dynamics and provide a fresh directional impetus to the Gold price.
Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold price benefits from Fed easing bets, modest USD weakness
•The New York Federal Reserve said in a report on Monday that US consumers' projection of inflation over the short run fell to the lowest level in nearly three years in December, which undermines the US Dollar and benefits the Gold price.
•Inflation one year from now is expected to be at 3%, marking the lowest reading since January 2021, while inflation three years from now is seen at 2.6% and price pressures five years ahead were at 2.5% versus 2.7% in November.
•The data reaffirms expectations for an imminent shift in the Federal Reserve's policy stance, though investors continue scaling back their expectations for more aggressive policy easing in the wake of a still-resilient US economy.
•Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic noted that inflation has declined more than expected and that the US central bank still needs to give tight policy time to work on cooling off inflation. Bostic sees two 25 bps cuts by year-end 2024.
•Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said that the current policy stance appears sufficiently restrictive and that inflation could fall further with the policy rate held steady for some time, though the upside inflation risks remain.
•This raises uncertainty over the possibility of early interest rate cuts by the Fed, which assist the yield on the benchmark 10-year US government bond to hold steady above the 4.0% threshold and might cap the non-yielding yellow metal.
•The market focus, meanwhile, remains glued to the US consumer inflation figures on Thursday, which should help determine the next leg of a directional move for the XAU/USD.
SNAP - RECOVERY SCENARIOSnap's stock has been highly volatile, with over 42 moves exceeding 5% in the past year. Today's increase in share price suggests the market finds the news impactful but not transformative for the company. The most significant drop occurred six months ago when Snap reported disappointing first-quarter revenue, causing a 19.8% stock decline. SNAP faces company-specific challenges, as its peers in advertising and social media generally report stronger results.
Snap's stock has risen by 9.66% this year but is still 28.2% below its 52-week high of $13.51 in July 2023.

After a 94% fall, what's next?Gala is one of the – promised – cryptos that affected most in this bear market, considering that fell 94% since November 2021.
What’s next?
There are two main short-term S/R levels to watch.
If $0.07 support breaks, that will be … a disaster as it’s expected a (29 – 38) % drop.
On the other hand, if $0.095 breaks we may see a 55% surge max.
And that’s an optimistic scenario.
KCSUSDT wants to retest the 18$From my previous analysis we made more than 27% and the price followed my drawing. Now the price is testing the monthly as new support after the first rejection.
The market created a V pattern on 10$ and now the price wants to retest the 18$.
How to approach?
IF the price is going to have a breakout from the 4h resistance According to Plancton's strategy , we can set a nice order

Keep in mind.

Downward GOLD RUSH!We've reached a major pull back point on GOLD, after some consolidation earlier today a drop was imminent as we started to loose upward momentum. If you missed the previous drop/rise today or got blown out from the spike, here's your chance to recover/profit. I'm expecting GOLD to make it's way down to the 1750 area in the coming days with minimal pull back. If the candles can break down past the 200 EMA line it should be a nice ride down. Take notice that the upward spike earlier was after a touch on the 200 EMA.
How To SURVIVE Losing Cycles & A Simple SPY Reversal TellHi traders,
This time instead of a recap I will provide somewhat of a psychological insight "live" as I am going through a losing streak in the markets!
And as much as I would like to boast with my incredible gains every day, of course, I think this is a good thing. It enables me to show those who might be experiencing the same thing that this is completely NORMAL in this business and not even professionals are exempt.
As the market of itself rarely moves in a straight line but rather swings like a dancer, your account moves inevitably in waves as well.
The ONLY solution to keep your head up and don't drown is to STICK TO YOUR TRADING PLAN!!
As long as you don't break it, losses are only a statistical issue!
____________________________________________________________
On another note to keep the post slightly practical as well, a 1-2-3 Low pattern formed on the VIX today, marking the POSSIBLE beginning in a second market drop during this crisis so be aware!
Good trades,
Tom | FINEIGHT

Noticed something peculiar with #RVLTI was looking at the historical dips trying to find trends. I noticed something peculiar.
The stock "appears" to be at or near bottom. What I noticed was the during the 2000 and 2007 Bear Markets,
"crash" I've heard some say, the stock increased in share price. NOT TRADING ADVICE: Would seem like funds could be shifted from losing stocks in the inevitable event of the next Bear Market to this stock, should it recover from its low.
I also noticed during both Bear Markets, it never went below about $19 a share. If the stock recovers even a few dollars
and stays listed this is an interesting candidate to not take a huge loss on a Bear.
ETH: high order fib retracement fits like a glove on recoveryThe only question is: does Ether have the juice? And if it does have the juice, how much of it is being squeezed out by BTC's volatility, or lack thereof. In other words, what does BTC have to do for Ether to grab on to short-term recovery and medium-term retention of gains made after BTC's stunning first breakout just beyond $8000?
May I introduce you..? That SELL-Off was nothing! ;-)#OverviewHey tradomanaics,

Are Apple able to recover?Hi, that is my first idea and i try to apply the Fibonacci ratio and the Gartley pattern, for predict the future movement of Apple.
I think that the light blue lines are good supports for the past, and looking the RSI the stock is oversold.
So, i think in the next week Apple will recover and try to test the previous supports around 99.26 and over 100 in the best case.
What do you think about it? Is what i did, right?
