GU-Fri-6/06/25 TDA-This week mostly after news driven PA!Analysis done directly on the chart Follow for more, possible live trades update! PA= price action This week unless you're good fundamental analyst or taking good advantage of fundamental news, it was not easy to trade normal price action. (at least for me) Since I trade only London session, and majority of moves happen in NY session after news release. This week was not the best for me, keeping myself low risk max medium risk trades.

USDJPY: Will This CRT FVG Hold After the PWL Sweep?Price action on USDJPY reflects a clean execution of Candle Range Theory (CRT). Following a sweep of the Previous Week’s Low (PWL), price reacted from a higher timeframe demand zone, grabbing sell-side liquidity before printing a bullish Break of Structure (BOS). This BOS confirmed a shift in market intent and set the stage for a retracement into a clearly defined Fair Value Gap (FVG). I refined the entry on the 4H chart, waiting for price to return to the FVG zone, with risk placed just below the sweep wick. The target is mapped to the next logical supply above a cluster of equal highs and prior inefficiency. This setup reflects a high-conviction CRT play, built from top-down analysis and confluences rooted in market structure, liquidity, and imbalance logic.

GJ-Thu-5/06/25 TDA-Big pump and dump, pre and after US news!Analysis done directly on the chart Follow for more, possible live trades update! Trading news is not profitable long term, unless you are really good fundamental analysis! Yes, you might get lucky sometime that price goes to your favor, but without a clear understanding, bad risk management, no strategy you'll likely to lose all the profits you make. It's not just about making profits, you have to consistently making it and keep the profits you make. Active in London session! Not financial advice, DYOR. Market Flow Strategy Mister Y

Not Every Candle Needs a Reaction — I Know I’ve GrownThere was a time I thought I needed to react to every move. A clean candle? I’d enter. A minor imbalance? I’d take the risk. A zone that “looked okay”? I’d justify it. Why? Because I was chasing something. Chasing certainty . Chasing profit . Chasing control . But here’s the thing I didn’t understand back then: Not every candle needs a reaction. And not every move is my move. 🧠 Overtrading Wasn’t a Strategy. It Was a Symptom. It was a symptom of fear — fear of missing out (FOMO). It was a symptom of insecurity — not trusting my own process. It was a symptom of impatience — not letting the market come to me. I confused activity with progress. I thought being busy on the charts meant I was becoming better. But most of the time, I was just bleeding my edge. 💡 The Turning Point Growth didn’t happen because I learned a new indicator. It happened the moment I started asking myself: Is this my setup? Or am I just bored, hopeful, or triggered? When you define a clear trading plan, with criteria you believe in, the real test isn’t finding setups...it’s waiting for the right ones. Today, I can watch the market move beautifully without me and feel absolutely nothing. That’s freedom. That’s growth. That’s power. 🧘🏽‍♂️ From Reactive to Intentional Now, I focus on: Waiting for my specific SMC criteria to line up Sticking to my CRT model (PDL/PWH sweep → BOS → FVG) Trusting that missing one trade means nothing if I stay consistent Letting the market come to me I’m no longer in the game to prove something. I’m here to play my edge , manage my risk , and protect my mind. 📌 Final Words Growth in trading isn't loud. It doesn’t scream from a winning streak. It shows up quietly: in the trades you didn’t take. in the silence between setups. in the patience to do nothing until it’s time. So if you’re not constantly in a trade, that’s not weakness that’s wisdom.

GJ-Wed-4/06/25 TDA-GJ strong push, will it continue?Analysis done directly on the chart Follow for more, possible live trades update! Trading is not easy, there are so many factors, variants that influence the price movement. Generally when big moves happen, it is caused by big news, important speeches, flash news. Markets don't move randomly, it's really important to understand why price had this particular move, at that specific time and ask why. Not financial advice, DYOR. Market Flow Strategy Mister Y

GJ-Mon-2/06/25 TDA-GJ in ranging zone!Analysis done directly on the chart Follow for more, possible live trades update! My idea is the higher time frame you trade, the more fundamental analysis you need to be good at to actually be consistently profitable trader. And viceversa if you trade lower timeframe it's more technical analysis but always keeping in mind the higher timeframe picture, doing the top down analysis and having the basic necessary knowledge on fundamental analysis. Tips for basic fundamental knowledge: 1) Use economic calendar ( I recommend FXstreet calendar for macroeconomic events and Financial Juicy for flash news, real live updates) 2) Stay up to date with global news, war, tariffs etc. As these are key factors that will influence price currencies.

And this is where developing good pattern recognition on how price is moving will help you enhance your trading skills! It requires time, a lot but a lot of dedication, accepting the fact that your not good enough yet. Trick your mind by thinking you are always two steps behind. (even if you see good results!)
