Stoploss

Aiming for a loss!Loss? Nobody wants to hear about that. Right? Am I saying this position is going to make money? Nope. I said it is an opportunity for a loss. It's a thing called a stop loss. Why would I go there? Price is close to the 1D ATR line. If it goes south, I won't know how far. If it goes north, I control how much it'll take. The best way to secure zero losses of money, is to not trade at all. 🙄😉 Disclaimers : Disclaimer: This is not advice or encouragement to trade securities or any asset class.

Candle in the wind?Sometimes a single candle can make a difference. How? It could trigger a trend change. This is not a prediction. It is vigilance for a trend change. Single candles on any time frame often fail. Position is everything (well not exactly). Some say it's luck. I say it is a chance to see how wrong I am. Acceptance of being wrong for a controlled loss is the business. If one cannot afford to lose in this business, then winning is practically impossible.

IS GOLD BACK?Gold just did an important trend switch on the 2H time frame coming off what appears to be a double bottom at 1680. The switch is better seen on 15 min to 30 min time frames. Normally the first pulse which this might be is followed by a minor correction before further movement in direction fo the switch. But strange things do happen. This is a trend following situation, which means you get no targets, stop-losses or predictions. Why? Because nobody knows where how far a trend might go. I provide no other figures because this is not advice. If going long on Gold a safer situation will be in a 15 to 30 min trend.

Go Go BNB! 🔥I did this charting on 4H time-frame, Let's look at it.. Binance Coin was ranging in nice triangle for about a month, now it breaks it upwards. It's time for a little pull back to test it's lower support level above the triangle.. This is good opportunity for us to step in and buy some BNB. I did this analysis buy combining Triangle classic pattern and Fibonacci Levels: Buy position: 260 - 270 Target 1: 390 - 410 Target 2: 468 - 484 Stop-Loss: 213 What is your point of view or analysis on BNB, I like you to share it in the comment section for me, so we can share our knowledge together. And, As always feel free to ask any question about this chart in comment section, I will happily answer you :) If you like this idea, hitting like button, sharing it to the ones who will find it useful and giving me comment will give me a lot of motivation :)

What price to take profits? DOGE COIN & Price action (ĐOGECOIN)Perhaps the dollar is in accumulation from the last month. We have four times Doge test the trend line and proves to be a very strong support line. We can see price react very strongly to take profit at 0.382. But in my opinion on this 3rd test it will fail and head towards the target of the 0.5 zone. Be careful at 0.618 zone, this strongest resistance, we should be take profit 50% if the price reacts strongly in this area. Entry: < 0.06$ Stoploss: 0.0535$ Take profits: 0.0696$ and 0.0762$ and 0.0855$ and more..

Is the DAX burning down?This is a 15 min time frame, trend following set up. Price action looks uncertain and nosing slightly south. As a trend follower, you know that you have to give the market much room to oscillate. Trend is more important than price. Nothing in this set up means that I know the trend will continue south. All I can do is take an affordable loss. Hence, you find no predictions here. Why? Because I'm not predicting. I'm following. New traders need to be very careful in these set ups. Expect a loss. Control it. Make it affordable. I always talk about losses - that thing that lots of traders don't want to hear about. If the trend continues south, I can't know how far it will go.

DOT Ready To Fly? 💸DOT is reaching to end of it's ascending pattern.. Markets parameters show me bullish move for crypto.. So I suggest to bye some DOT at "Buy position 1" and wait for the break-out.. If it happened add some more to your bag.. There are two possible targets for this bullish break-out. First, the important resistance around 42 as you can see on the chart. If this resistance is broken DOT can move to the second target, the green box around 50-52.. --- Don't forget to put your stop-loss at 30.5-30.6 --- Let's hop in together and enjoy the ride.. I like to see your ideas about DOT/USDT or DOT/BTC, So leave it in comment section..

How to set the RIGHT Stop loss!Hey hey traders!! Setting the "right" stop loss is a vital skill, yet for many traders... its a random act. This video will help you find stcutrue in setting the right stop loss, a stop loss that has the best chance of not being hit and allowing your trade to workout! For us that comes down to basics: 1. Use the ATR value 2. Enter only via the fibs (definite entry) and by following this process we have achieved great things so far, even increased our win ration by a solid 12% in February (since we added it) If you have questions, feel free to ask! All the best and good luck trading!

DJI: Kill zone ahead - scary stuff! It's a kill zone. But note carefully there are losses here. You can't win in this business unless you're prepared to lose! I would welcome arguments on that one. The chart shows that the rebellion of price looks powerful but on the squeeze momentum assessment it isn't that powerful. Price movements tend to scare new traders. Well, okay - if you can't take the loss stay out. In this position I cannot predict that price will fall nor can I predict that price will bust up and through the kill zone. All I can do is take a loss - an affordable one. There is a natural bias for winning positions. Hence seemingly unlikely positions tend not to be shown. When price moves north it is natural to think it will continue moving north. But what if the trend picture is showing probability for the south at the same time. Scary stuff!

CHALLENGE: AUDJPY - PLACE YOUR BETSAhoy! There is money to be made and lost here! 🤦‍♂️😂 I'm short with with an affordable loss. Others may wish to go long with an affordable loss. It's not about how right you are but how much you limit your loss if you're wrong. This is a nice one for new traders to experiment with on a paper trading account. 👊 Trading is a strange activity i.e. you can't make money unless you're prepared to lose. 😟 Disclaimers : This is not advice or encouragement to trade securities on live accounts.

Is there stop loss hunting in trading ? How to deal with it ?Hello everyone: Today I want to discuss a common discussion about new and experienced traders. “Is there stop loss hunting in trading?” Many wonder, since they can all recall the moment where price just hits their SL on a trade, and then the market quickly turns around towards their desired profit direction. I want to dig deeper into this and explain it with different viewpoints, from a technical and psychological view. The vision I am trying to provide is that, thinking about is there stop loss from the brokers won't help you to get better in trading. It's a mindset thing we need to understand. For example, whether there is or isn't a stop loss hunting, it's nothing you or I can change or control. It is what it is. However, if you understand this, then it's about adjusting your plan, strategies and trading style to these types of volatility moves and come up with the correct mindset to work around it. Technical part: More often, people set their SL and see their trades get taken out just a few pips above before reversing the opposite way. Dig deeper into this. Is it a fake breakout, is it just being impatient and jumping the gun? Is there LTF continuation/reversal correction that gives you bias to enter a long/short ? Is your analysis aligned with the higher time frames ? Many factors on why a trade is at a loss, no need to jump right into a conclusion that it's the broker who is stop hunting you. This is why we always look for confirmation and confluence when we enter trades. Just because the price breaks the support and resistance line people often use, it's not an automatic buy or sell. Same goes with trend lines and other indicators people use. We need to confirm it with price action. After an impulse phrase, was there a continuation correction phrase? If not, then it doesn't justify a buy entry. This is also why we backtest so we see these types of price action often, and acknowledge what we need to do in order to work our ways around it. Psychological part: When traders take a loss in this way, hitting the SL and reverse, this creates a negative emotion in them. They often get frustrated and upset, hence in human nature, we tend to blame others. But take a step back and understand this: The market can do whatever it wants to do. Most beginner and newcomer traders think the market MUST follow their strategies and style. If it doesn't, then something is wrong with the market, the brokers, their mentor/coach, their strategies...etc. This negative mindset needs to change. First of all no strategies and style will promise you 100% strike rate and profit. Any strategies you take will incur a loss, it's how you deal and manage it that will show you as a consistent or inconsistent trader. Second, if you have experienced several losses due to the “Stop hunt” in your own mind, then instead of blaming the brokers or the markets, start looking into your trading plan and management. Are you experiencing FOMO ? Are you over leverage trading, and revenge trading ? Are you taking into consideration your risk management ? Entry, SL/TP, how much to risk ? Is it consistent with your plan ? These are the things you can control, rather than external factors which you can not. Adjust yourself. Third, remove your negative emotion from your losses. Take it as a learning curve and experiences earned. Then the next time you enter a trade, you will remember the lessons that were taught to you by the market. This is why we journal our trades so we can look back at them and understand what we did. I hope these few pointers will help some of you to get back on the positive direction of trading. No need to think and get upset if there is a stop hunting of your trades. Instead, use that towards your advantages. If you consistently see a false breakout and reverse, then come up with a strategy and plan to capture that reversal move. No need to blame the market or the broker, that is something you can not control. Jumping brokers to brothers simply won't help you to eliminate that psychological mindset of a stop hunting. I will put below several other educational videos on the topic we discussed today. As always, any questions, comments or feedback welcome to let me know :) Trading Plan: Risk Management: Trading Psychology: FOMO: Revenge Trading: Over Leverage:
