A Brief Overview of My Market Approach Brief explanations
I form my narrative based on ICT concepts, I form my entries based on the free Phantom Trading content. My appraoch is based on my understanding of these concepts, which may not be objectively correct according to their teachmgs, but it's what works for me
Premise: M1 flow - Typically I look to trade M1 flow in line with M15 flow, but not always
HTF AOI: W to M5 - Since I trade on the M1, I consider anything M5 or higher to be a higher time frame
Markets: DXY, EURUSD, USDCHF - I choose EU and UF due to their correlations with the dollar index. EURUSD has the best inverse correlation, USDCHF has the best direct correlation of all the majors
Minimum Risk to Reward Ratio (RRR) 3.2 - This gives me around 3R and should about cover commissions.
LTF Confirmation entry method
Liquidation - price liquidates a level on the M1 (bonus for HTF liquidation)
Mitigation - price mitigates a HTF level, in the form of a return to supply/demand or a raid of liquidity
CHoCH - price changes character by breaking above supply in a downtrend or breaking below demand in an uptrend
SD/DS Flip (supply to demand, demand to supply) - in an uptrend, price reacts to a level of demand, fails to create a higher high, and breaks structure to the downside (DS Flip) ; in a downtrend, price reacts to a level of supply fails to create a lower low, and breaks market structure to the upside (SD Flip)
FVG (Fair value gap) - added confluence if there is unmitigated imbalance associated with the entry level
My favorite setups are just my favorite presentations of the setup, there are a number of other factors that can shape the setup. The important thing for me is that I pay attention to the narrative the pattern is telling me, instead of simply trading the pattern. Understanding the narrative behind the patterns adds edge to my discretion and often helps me stay out of less probable trades/trading areas.
I will be posting a video to youtube that includes an oral summary of what is presented here, I will post an update to the idea when the video is released (this coming Sunday, 2 Jan 2022).
My current hourly strategy.This is the strategy I've been using lately to trade FTM and ONE on the hourly chart.
1. Price is below 200 EMA.
2. ATR down trend.
3. Bollinger Band squeezed.
4. Price crossed below EMA ribbon.
5. WaveTrend Reversed down.
Over the past 50 trades, this strategy has won 33 times and lost 17 times.
I usually use 1:1.5 RRR but for this particular trade and others with the same congruence and strength I would go up to 1:2.
You may even consider taking 50% at 1:1.5 and 50% at 1:2.
Easy to get data from cnbc.com, it is freeIt is a note for developer
Sometime, we need stock data to write strategy checking logic by python. Data from cnbc.com is good and it is free. How to get it?
There are 2 steps to do:
Step 1: install library python
pip install cnbcfinance
Step 2: Get history or get quote realtime
# Get history data
from cnbcfinance import get_history_df
data = get_history_df('AAPL', '30m')
# Get quote
from cnbcfinance import get_history_df
data = get_quota('AAPL')
TAKE THAT NEXT TRADEHi Friends,
This post is for Educational Purpose only!!
Time Frames : 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins
Instruments : All Forex and Crypto Pairs
Market Session : All Sessions
Strategy Considered : Price Action Shift (PAS)
TAKE THAT NEXT TRADE
From my personal research i have seen that for a trending market, break of structure or shift in price action often leads to a big price movement moments later. Before i go into a trade, i normally ask myself a couple of questions;
1. How much is my balance?
2. How much do i want to risk?
3. Does the setup have a high winning probability?
4. Am i following my checklist? if yes, have i checked at least 4/6 of the items on the list?
5. What are my exit plans if i should take the trade?
If i am able to respond to Q3-Q5, then i will not miss that trades.
PAS Strategy Explained - Citing CADCHF (15m)
Price did not break first swing low, attempted to break the second one but failed. It eventually broke the third swing low then headed back to retest the order block that pushed price to that break. It makes sense to go in right at this point since 6/6 of my checklist have been ticked + Q3,Q4,& Q5 response is yes.
PAS Strategy give investors/ traders the opportunity to expose their capitals to low risks but highly profitable trade (in this case RRR of 1:8).
Take some time off to look at my checklist and the confluences which i have listed on the chart.

PRICE ACTION TRADING | RISING WEDGE PATTERN 🔰
Hey traders,
Rising wedge pattern is one of the most accurate price action patterns.
Being relatively simple to recognize, it is applied in various trading strategies.
⭐️The pattern itself signifies the exhaustion of bulls.
Even though the asset keeps growing in value, the price action legs contract forming a narrowing channel.
Being stuck between two contracting trend lines, one serving as support and one serving as resistance, the price forms a wedge pattern.
🔔The trigger that we are looking for to sell the market is a bearish breakout of the support of the wedge (candle close below).
To not be caught by a false breakout, it is highly recommendable to wait for a bearish violation of the last higher low level as well.
Only then the wedge breakout is confirmed.
⚡️Trading the market aggressively, one opens a short position on spot just after the candle closes.
⚡️The conservative trader will wait for a retest of the broken support of the wedge though for a safer entry.
✔️Safest stop will lie strictly above the highest wick within the wedge.
✔️Initial target will be based on the closest key structure support.
Learn to recognize this pattern and be disciplined to wait for its confirmed breakout. Only then a high trading performance will be achieved.

Simple Price Action Strategy – Easy Money! $$$$$Here is one of my favourite setups that is easy to learn and trade. I’ve heard it called many things over the years and know that many successful traders watch for this pattern to play out as it has a high win rate. Whatever you want to call it, it’s worth studying and adding to your playbook.
What’s actually happening in this pattern?
-A low is formed. Long entries have stops below the low providing a pocket of liquidity.
-As price returns to the area these stops are hunted and the liquidity is taken. Early breakout traders will short and become trapped. A base has now been formed.
-Price returns to the base and retests it as support.
-Price bounces back to swing high.
How do we trade it?
-The first thing we want to look for is a swing low (1) followed by a swing high (2). We can then mark out a potential range.
-Next, we want price to return to the swing low and either trade briefly below the range (a deviation) or just quickly wick below (sweeping the lows), and then price should return to the range. This area is shown as 3.
-Bids can now be placed at the range low. The setup is invalidated if price trades lower than 3, so stops should be somewhere under the low at 3.
-Targets should be set at the swing high (2).
-This also works for shorts – just flip everything upside down.
You can see this pattern on all timeframes and it presents a lot of opportunities once you know what to look for.
Happy Trading.

Improving Consistency In TradingThis is always one of the biggest challenges to becoming a full time profitable trader.
Almost all traders will have a battle against becoming consistent.
Its something that I definitely struggled with when starting out in my trading journey.
I would go through weeks of profitable trades and building my account and then equally go through losing streaks and essentially wiping out my wins. Or simply from one week to the next my trading results would fluctuate like crazy…
This will inevitably have a detrimental effect on your trading results but more importantly it will have a major negative effect on your mentality and well being as you become more and more frustrated with inconsistent trading results.
So today I wanted to sit down and go through this in topic to explain some ways to combat this problem and improve your consistency.
Expectations
Firstly its important to define the goal… what does consistent trading look like FOR YOU?
Because believe it or not, the answer to that question is different for different people.
So, are you looking to be consistent over the course of each day? Over the course of each week?… Define a time period that is realistic for you to determine your consistency and make sure it has enough time to measure enough trades to account for wins and losses.
Are you looking to be consistent in terms of profit over this period of time? Or are you looking to be consistent in terms of percentage of trades won and loss?
Secondly its important to know that you WONT win every trade.. so any goal that sets out to do so won’t be realistic and won’t be achievable.
Winning 80% of your trades is a VERY consistent win rate percentage.
No Silver Bullet
The honest truth is that there’s no secret formula or special sauce that will turn an inconsistent trader into a consistently profitable one overnight.
As with everything it will take gradual steps of improvement but I can share with you some methods and insights to help speed that process up.
Consistent Results Come From Consistent Processes
The main reason behind inconsistent results is that traders are using an inconsistent process for each trade they place.
If one trade is placed based on one strategy and then you are not using that same strategy on the next trade then you can expect any trading results will reflect that.
Its important to understand your strategy in trading intimately… you should have the confidence in your strategy that if you were to lose a trade, you are confident that over time your strategy will work out.
Typically this scattergun approach where traders jump from one strategy to the next is the main cause of why their results are inconsistent.
Review Your Strategy
Finally you must of course have a very robust strategy to use in the first place… if the strategy you are using isn’t robust and doesn’t provide an ‘edge’ on the market… if you haven’t done the research and backtesting necessary to know your edge on the market then you can be sure that any result from using that strategy will be inconsistent.
GANN Theory Finally Completed StrategyI took a couple of months off to read a book i found on Amazon on Andrew Gann the inventor of GANN theory. After finishing his article i theorized that it could be transformed in these modern times. This will a Membership to perform, Alerts mean allot to people that want to automate the thought process behind this. Please note that i am not a paid person posting this, i been trading for 16 years ever since i graduated from High School, I went to college to understand Pattern Recognition. Believe it or not there is a pattern to every aspect of our Lives.
I have the MTF Support and Resistance from Annan Set to Daily .
Poor Mans Volume Profile ___ this is critical for plotting the GANN BOX onto the Charts with little to no thought process.
To plot the GANN BOX (not the GANN fix Box or the GANN angles) You are taking the Gann Box Placing it on the Poor Mans Volume Profile DAILY chart. For an Uptrend you go UP 2 and right 2 , you'll understand when you plot it. For Down Trend down 2 right 2 . Sideways (rangebound) oddly special one. Up 1 Right 2 Down 1 Right 2 . When your plotting on the charts LOCK the Gann on the chart. I use Daily Right 2 because i set it at the beginning of the MONTH and its good for until the NEXT month. you set alerts on the GANN FIB LINES. (ENTRYS) BASED... If you are having issues with plotting this LET ME KNOW... its gets very automated when you plotting it. The Poor Mans Volume Profile takes the calculations out of the picture.
Posting a picture of the Points your going up or down 2.
How you Plot it on the Poor Mans Volume Profile. last step is to LOCK it on the Daily CHART.
Alerts need to the be set on the 2 of the Gann Lines. ( set to Crossing ) Subscription premium allow you to set an unexpired alert. If you want to Swing with this strategy. You have to do something different by Anchoring on the Weekly and trading on the 30 min or 1hr you can swing with this. But as yourself are you going to swing or are you going to Day-trade this.
Stop loss is a very touchie subject that everyone should think about doing... Personally i use 4 different methods Count 5 bars back, last Swing point, or Halfway between the two fibs of entry. if i am feeling lucky just on the other side of the Fib Entry point. * the Lucky part of this one is if it goes bad you have a very LOW LOW risk of loosing allot of hard earned capital. Generally I will use the 5 bars back method.
CM- Slingshot set to Conservative.
Next 2 will be the Exits on the Trades and Indicators to take the Trade.
DYNAMIC RSI - DRSI for short just tweak the color on this one, from DreadBlitz. ____
MTF RSI from Chris Moody 14 70 30 D D 30 ___ set a color where you can see the MidPoint.
NOTE: When Entering you are looking at the Chart___ when it crosses the GANN FIB line. after the Bar completes, look at the DRSI and MTF RSI midpoint cross. (after the Cross has Happen and you can Confirm it on both u can now Enter the Trade.)
The exit point is when the DRSI goes Solid Filled color, secondly this effect will be happening on the MTF RSI.
I take all of my trades on the 15min timeframe with an Anchor on the Daily Chart. Anchor meaning MTF MTF MTF MTF all of them are set to the daily. I want to make thoughtful readings based on the Daily Overall proceedings of the market direction.

The logic of "sell half keep half" (Forex)Both holding & not holding don't make sense.
Definitions:
- Holding = try to hit "homeruns" every time
- Not holding = snatching profits at target (not before, that's just being a huge noob)
Assume winners 5 times bigger than losers on average: 5R.
And the winrate is of 20%. So that's a PF of 1.25, all good.
To keep it simple there is no trailing until target.
Risking 0.5% per trade you'll never be down more than 10%.
Once at target if you move the stop to 1R (-4),
12% of the time the price will go to 45R.
So risk 4 to make 40, or 1 to make 10.
With a winrate of 12%. PF = 1.36.
But if you do hold and trail well...
12% of 20% is 2.4% of total.
80% will be losers (-1R),
17.6% will be +1R,
and only 2.4% will be (huge) winners.
In other words:
Risking 0.5% per trade, by the time you get that big winner (+22.5%)
you will be down 15, 25, maybe 50% on a bad luck streak, or more.
22.5% is just enough to get to breakeven after an 18% drawdown.
Compared to just lose 4 times (down to 98%) then win once 2.5% (up to 100.45%)
Even after a 10% drawdown (an unlucky >20 losses in a row) get a few 5R's and you quickly get back to zero.
Holding just makes little sense, and there is no margin for error.
But at the same time it's stupid to ignore these big wins.
So here is the solution:
Sell half, keep half. (Or any other fraction).
Selling half at target allows to smooth the returns.
If they are too volatile it just won't work out.
And keeping half first with a wide stop then maybe not as much, allows to catch the "big ones".
This makes most sense even if "on paper" some will say "oh well you should go for the big ones if the odds are in your favor" lol sorry but it's a bit more complicated than this.
More generally with Forex I think that any risk to reward under 1 to 2 is bad as is anything above 1 to 10.
Can aim for the moon, but not all the time. The "sell half keep half" concept is the best compromise.
Adding to winner at some point is too dangerous, it doesn't work, it's just greed.
Adding to winners is another subject entirely and anyway there is nothing as a "just do this".
It all must be researched and well thought.
With this sell half concept you're securing 2.5 + 1.25 = 3.75 / 5R so that's 75% of the profit.
Then risking 25% of profit to catch some of these massive winners is I think the smart move here.
Profit is secured, to push this a bit further you might have thought of this already:
secure enough profit to breakeven (on 20% winrate secure 4/5 R) and "go double or nothing" on the extra (1R).
So it's as if in a way these big winners are "free".
Risking 1R with 50% retracement means you're leaving 2R in or 2/5 = 40%. Pretty good.
And then the account I showed turns to this:
Isn't this the best? Sure you'll "only" be in the huge wins with maybe 1/3 of the normal size but it's how it is.
This is not gambling. Really, there is no other choice in my opinion.
Sort of go nowhere for a while, then boom get a big winner, account jumps up, then go nowhere for a while, etc.
The risk all "double or nothing" is actually stupid even if "on paper" you are risking less than you stand to make.
And constantly closing at target is just bad and leaving some profit on the table.
This does not apply to stocks (sometimes it does, probably).
To be honest with stocks you're better off holding everything and getting these zigzags and all so you always have (balanced out) losses ready to be declared, and the huge winners never ever getting closed.

The Breakthrough StrategyGreetings, traders! Welcome to this short, 7-step strategy lesson.
Are you new to trading? Don't worry: we're dedicated toward providing the most high-quality, easy-to-understand, and straight-to-the-point investing education to the TradingView community. This strategy lesson is beginner-friendly (we have pictures!), as we've inserted helpful links into each and every term, just in case you don't know them yet. Anyways, let's get right into the steps of this effective trading method , which we've named " The Breakthrough Strategy ":
• STEP 1, The Breakthrough:
Identify a breakout (or "breakthrough") at the most recent Support/Resistance (S&R) zone. With the horizontal line tool, if you haven't already, mark the level at which price broke: this will be your potential Entry Point (EP).
• STEP 2, The Turnaround:
Immediately following the breakout, you'll wanna see two or more consecutive candlesticks, going in the same direction of the breakout. After the streak, when you spot the first completely-formed candle, going in the opposite direction, you've found your "turnaround" point! Mark it up with a S&R line: this will be your potential Take Profit (TP) level.
• STEP 3, The Other Side:
Now, identify the most recent S&R zone, on the opposite side of the breakout zone: this will be your potential Stop Loss (SL) level.
• STEP 4, The Average:
Make sure that you have your Exponential Moving Average (EMA, 50) installed on TradingView. Is the end of it between the EP and the SL? Perfect! You're ready for the next step.
• STEP 5, The Order:
Place a Limit Order (TP, SL, and EP levels are mentioned in the previous steps). If, before price hits the Entry Point, things start to get choppy, close the pending order: it is now invalid.
• STEP 6, The Execution:
Did price hit your Entry Point? The order has been triggered —we're in! Good job, good luck, and hope for some profits.
• STEP 7, The Final Step:
"Practice makes perfect," so make sure that you backtest this method, to test it out before using it on the live market. Be sure to follow us, for future lessons which will help you significantly increase the power of this strategy!
We hoped that this helped you! We ask that you pay it forward, and share this lesson with a friend, a fellow trader, or... heck... share it with your grandmother.
“My mission is to help you see forex for what it is: it’s not ‘rocket science,’ but a simple strategy game. Get on the ‘good side’ of probability, develop the proper mindset, and you will prosper.”
— Nio Pomilia, Forex Free Press
Head and Shoulders PatternThis is just one example that we mustn't expect perfection. If everything were perfect everyone could be billionaire and to be one could be so much easier. Should we expect life to be easy? I think it would be boring. Hahaha. A little challenge is good for us, when we put in diligent effort to learn something and achieve some measure of success we become proud of ourselves, deep inside we praise ourselves for accomplishing something.
Trading is not easy as the books portray it, it was designed not to be easy, but if we take time to learn it we can make it a bit easier for ourselves and the rewards that comes thereafter are much greater.
Trade Smart!

The Best Way To Risk
Let's consider two trading scenarios and learn how to use the R risk control system.
The risk control system is the most important component of any strategy. A trader who takes risks irresponsibly has no right to expect a positive outcome in his long-term trading journey.
The main principle of the approach is that the loss is always limited, but the profits are not. Considering in each trade, the stop loss is equal to 1R, in a profitable trade, one must get at least 2R.
Scenario 1 (see graph)
In the first scenario, a professional trader keeps track of the trades, controls risks and analyzes the results of the series.
Scenario 2 (see graph)
In the second scenario, the trader wants quick results, does not control position size, does not use stop orders, and trades on a whim.
Risk R
"R" - the amount of risk, a fixed amount in US dollars.
In each trade, the stop loss is located at such a level from the entry point that the loss upon reaching it will not exceed the specified dollar amount.
Example # 1
We have an entry point and a level where we want to place a stop loss
Let's say the volume of trading capital is $1000
In each trade, we risk no more than 3% ($30 - for those that might say its too much - GO GET A JOB) of the capital
Our R = $30
It follows that when the stop loss is reached, the loss will be no more than 1R ($30)
Take profit should be positioned so that the risk to reward ratio is at least 1 to 2(since anything beyond 63% win rate is hardly sustainable in a long run). Accordingly, having learned the value of stop loss 1R, you need to multiply the figures by 2 and place a take profit by measuring from the entry point. Thus, when the price reaches our take profit, we will receive + 3R ($90)
Example # 2
The risk per trade is $100 (1R = $100)
Losing trade -1R (- $100)
Profitable deal + 3R (+ $300)
You make 110 trades, of which 75 are unprofitable, 35 are profitable
1R ($100) multiplied by 75 losing trades = - $7,500
3R ($300) multiplied by 35 profitable trades = + $10,500
Subtract the total loss from profit $10,500- $7,500 = $3,000
Series total: + $3,000
Example # 3 (crypto)
You bought 100 coins at $1/coin and placed a stop loss at $0.95 per coin
Your risk per trade R1 = ($5)
Take profit is set at 1.15 per coin
If you sell at the stop loss level, you will lose 1R = ($5)
If you sell at the take profit level, you will earn 3R = ($15)
Take all the "R" s in a given time, add them up and you have a pure "R" for your strategy. If the result is positive, then the strategy works, if negative, then you should think about replacing the strategy with a more effective one.
Can we create the strategy that can wining the market??Hi guys, im guaddi min homie.
I will give you two options:
1. Have stable profits in the market on a regular basis
2. Get rich quick in a short time but potentially lose all your profits quickly
You will definitely choose the first option,right?. You've heard a lot of people make hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, but that's just the surface,maybe make a profit today, but the next day they will lose more than your profit. In fact, anyone can make money from trading but there are quite a few people who make a steady profit. When people enter their trades on impulse, they can make a profit for a while but can't make a profit in the long run.If you want to be a professional in trading, you must create your own trading strategy. Are professional traders good predictors of the future??? That's definitely not the case. We think we have to learn a lot of this, a lot of that, this indicator, this candlestick pattern To be able to accurately predict the next direction of the market. And of course that's not the case. The key of succes trading is the trading strategy have a good RR ratio and reasonable winrate with that RR. Or perhaps, in some cases your win rate can be very high along with the profit is also very large.
To create a stable trading strategy according to the price action method or indicator, the first job is to identify the trend. You can use moving averages or draw trendlines. You can refer to strategies on youtube, forums or create your own strategies with indicators, or simply just resistance, support,...Remember no one strategy can has a 100% win rate,like I said, the win rate is just enough and the RR rate is good.
I have a position with 100 USD account, if I win I get 1.5 USD if I lose I lose 1 USD but the win rate of this order is 50%,For every 100 orders like that, my average profit is 25 USD. However in trading, we can raise 50% win higher or 1.5 USD profit to 2 USD profit. You can set a fixed stop loss for example 2USD ,5USD and set the take profit 1.5 times the stop loss.Your risk should only be from 2-4% of your account. Doing so, in the short term you may lose, but in the long term, you will definitely make a profit.
I don't rate strategies with high win rate but low return/profit .I just need a strategy that has a 50% win rate with a RR ratio of 1/2 or 1/1.5
Your trading strategy may have a losing streak of up to 5 even 7, but your win rate is 50% with RR ratio 1/2.So in the long term you will never lose.Such losing streaks are extremely normal and you don't need to worry because you still have a long term advantage.
I have met people who every time they lose 2-3 in a row the emotional side kicks in and they start trying to develop a better strategy, despite having thoroughly tested their strategy and knowing that It is very beneficial.Because they don't stick to that really good strategy.
If you have created a really good strategy for yourself then congratulations, you have a formula for winning the market, all you need to do is be patient and patient,the ratio is quite high in the case that you should not break the trading principle(In cases, you will have to make decisions and those will help you to grow up), and remember just follow the trend.
See you in my other posts, thanks.
What is a Call option ?How Do Call Options Work? What Is a Call Option?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Call options are financial contracts that give the option buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock, bond, commodity or other asset or instrument at a specified price within a specific time period. The stock, bond, or commodity is called the underlying asset. A call buyer profits when the underlying asset increases in price.
━━━━━━━━━━
How Do Call Options Work?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Since call options are derivative instruments, their prices are derived from the price of an underlying security, such as a stock. For example, if a buyer purchases the call option of ABC at a strike price of $100 and with an expiration date of December 31, they will have the right to buy 100 shares of the company any time before or on December 31. The buyer can also sell the options contract to another option buyer at any time before the expiration date, at the prevailing market price of the contract. If the price of the underlying security remains relatively unchanged or declines, then the value of the option will decline as it nears its expiration date.
━━━━━━━━━━━━
Use Of Call Options
━━━━━━
Investors use call options for the following purposes:
🔵 Speculation
Call options allow their holders to potentially gain profits from a price rise in an underlying stock while paying only a fraction of the cost of buying actual stock shares. They are a leveraged investment that offers potentially unlimited profits and limited losses (the price paid for the option). Due to the high degree of leverage, call options are considered high-risk investments.

📚EDUCATION: THE BASICS OF TRADING EXPLAINED📚
Hello, Traders!
The basics of what it takes to be a successful trader are simple and obvious
Yet daily, I see traders who fail at one or multiple KEY points that sink their performance and they keep losing accounts even though these people do have the understanding of the market that would have been sufficient enough for them to be profitable if they followed the basic rules. Trading is as much about pattern recognition and capacity for abstract thinking as it is about the personality type, self-discipline, and specific mindset.
The lucky few are born fit for trading, but others might train themselves.
Below, is the breakdown of the basics behind the day trading!
✅ TRADING IS A BUSINESS NOT GAMBLING
99% of the new traders have unrealistic expectations of the kind of returns trading might deliver. To make matters worse, they do not realize that it will take years of trial and error before they can make trading Their only source of income.
These delusions make the newbies treat trading like gambling. To AVOID this, please follow these 4 easy steps:
🔥SET AND KEEP YOUR RISK-REWARD.
I recommend risking no more than 1% of the deposit per each trade, which also implies using a variable lot size for every trade, so that no matter the SL
size in pips, or the pair you are trading, the dollar value of the RIKS remains the same with each trade. That way, you are in full control of the risks you
are taking.
🔥DO NOT GO ALL IN.
Sounds obvious, but I’ve seen it so many times. New traders, who lost 70% of the account, GO ALL IN on one trade that they think might help them
recover the balance. That is NEITHER a way to trade, nor a way to learn. Slowly losing your account while learning how to trade, is simply a fee that you
are paying the market for your education. Accept it or fail.
🔥PROTECT CAPITAL=USE SL
I can’t stress this enough and I BEG YOU to use SL. Do NOT enter the trade thinking that if the SL level that you had in mind is hit you will close
manually. You will NOT close the position, and the longer you hold it the more is the temptation to wait a bit more because it seems that the reversal is
coming soon.
🔥CUT LOSSES
Set a daily loss limit. For example, you can Ban yourself from trading for the rest of the day if you lost more than 3 trades in a row. You will enter what
is called a tilt most likely, and you will NOT be productive that day. The same goes for a week. Lost more than 10% of the account in a week? Next week
NO TRADING for you. Watch the market passively, or trade on the demo! By the way, That can be helpful even for professional traders too!
✅KEEPING A COOL HEAD IS KEY
The ideal trader is the one who can set all emotions aside as a robot would, while simultaneously keeping the versatility of the human mind and the intuition, that the machines lack(yet). It is of utmost importance for the new traders to understand that being right about the direction but entering too early or too late is the same as being WRONG because the result will be a LOSS.
Here is how to keep cool:
🔥CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS.
Both euphoria and a panic attack are your enemies so the more detached you are, the better. Emotions are for the casino, and we are doing business
here, remember?
🔥AVOID FOMO( FEAR OF MISSING OUT)
That one applies mostly to the trades that you are not so sure about, but still want to take them, in fear of not making money. And the early entries are
determined by FOMO too( what if the price does not reach my limit order, and the trade plays out well, but without ME?)
FOMO is Incredibly counterproductive, don't let it control you!
🔥DON’T FOLLOW OTHERS
Avoid herd mentality! 99% of traders lose money, so doing what everyone does inevitably lands you in the 99% category.
🔥BUILD A WATCH LIST
A LOT of the beginners try to PREDICT behavior of the particular instrument that they decided to trade for some reason, instead of going through the
pairs looking for a ready setup that you KNOW works. The former approach leads to finding patterns, key levels, and setups that just aren’t there.
Naturally, the result of trading these is an inevitable LOSS.You should Build a watchlist big enough for your to have a choice, and go through it at
regular intervals, looking for opportunities but NOT INVENTING them.
✅ CONSISTENCY OVER BOOM-BUST STYLE
Consistent trading is the only way to make trading a reliable source of income. Slow but steady gains always beat leap-like boom-bust performance.
The psychological pressure of the latter will most likely break you sooner or later, and who needs gray hair in their 30es anyway?
That is how you achieve consistency:
🔥FIND A STRATEGY
Do the research on multiple trading strategies and pick those that you understand and that are compatible with your personality.
🔥USE PAPER TRADING AND BACKTESTING
To select which strategy is right for you, use backtesting to see how the strategy performed in the past. And use paper trading to see how the strategy
works in real-time.Once you chose the strategy, go back to paper trading and backtesting to polish it.
🔥TRACK YOUR TRADES
Keeping track of your trading! Working with that data is an invaluable tule for the trader, that helps identify your strengths and weaknesses, while also
helping you notice patterns in your trading that would have been left unrecognized otherwise.
🔥FORMALIZE YOUR RULES
Objectivity is KEY for consistent trading because during the rough patches of the market, being sure of your rules helps you stay in the market, waiting
for the tailwind, instead of questioning your strategy or your implementation of it. Create a strict ALGORITHM and follow it step by step. In order to do
that, you need to define every element of your strategy as precisely as possible. For example, a level for you is a daily horizontal level with at least 3
touchpoints, a breakout is valid only if the 4H candle closed above the level, etc...
The less vague the terms, the fewer emotions will be involved in deciding whether to enter the trade or not.
❗️ IN CONCLUSION: If you want to become a trader, remember:
1- It will take YEARS to learn how to trade.
2- You will lose a TON of money in the process
3- You will FAIL with 95% probability.
4-Realistic returns from trading are WAY lower than you think
5-BUT when you succeed, you will set yourself free!

the chalk or the longshot - pick your poisonUVXY traded upward 20% on 3 January 2020. that was the day the Iranian General, Solemani, was - pick your characterization basd on your politics - murdered assassinated etc. In February 2018 UVXY rose 110% in one session. In March 2020 The Covid spike was $12 to $130 in two weeks. Absent these outliers, UVXY has dropped from over $30,000 in 5 years with the most recent reverse split to $28 today. Along the way there are always these short term interuption of the downward bias based on fear. Fear fuels the spikes. whether it is SPY fear, volatility in all world markets or the spectre of Iranian oil market retaliation. The portfolio of UVXY is completely available cash and the purchase and sale of short dated volatility instruments that are rolled every month. Time decay erodes the portfolio until the spikes occur.
Yesterday UVXY Net asset value dropped 10%.
Those who thing that some volatility should be in a portfolio for the downside protection,r for the gain on instability can today buy the risk on cost to hedge for 48 days at $2.50 with unlimited upside gain. It is possible to reduce that cost with a put vertical that has a lose $2.15 and gain $15 hedge that expires in mid September with a complete loss.
A larger portfolio that has a dividend aristocrat leaning will likely sell the common or buy a September $29/$15 put veertical for $704 to earn $698.
Why the discrepancy? The pricing tells the story. A trend that is inexhortably downward yielding less, or a guess as to the upward spike in volatility.
the chalk is downward. the longshot is the volatility spike for any narratice the investor chooes to believe.
