Why You Shouldn't Be a Trader: The Emotional RollercoasterEver thought about diving into trading? Here's the honest truth from someone who's been there. I used to think trading was all about numbers and charts, but boy, was I wrong. It's more like riding an emotional rollercoaster that can make you feel like you've aged years in a single day. Imagine this: one day you're on top of the world, feeling like you've finally figured it out, and the next, you're down in the dumps, rethinking your entire life. Here's the deal: -Heart-Stopping Volatility: The market's ups and downs can turn your emotions upside down. One second you're ecstatic with a win; the next, you're in despair over a loss. -No Off Switch: Unlike most jobs, there's no "clocking out" with trading. Your mind never really stops, even when you're supposed to be chilling. -The Lonely Trader's Path: It can feel like you're on this journey alone, with no one to share the load or celebrate the victories with. But here's the twist - I've learned how to navigate this wild ride. With a bit of community and some laughs, trading doesn't have to be a solo act. If you're feeling the weight of this rollercoaster or just curious about how to keep your emotions in check, why not hit me up?

Gold is still a safe investment channel.After a 27% gain in 2024, gold is still making experts and retail investors confident, with the precious metal forecast to surpass $3,000 an ounce this year. However, the rally will not happen immediately as the current consolidation phase is expected to last for several more months. Some experts predict that gold will trade in the range of $2,500-2,700 an ounce in the first half of the year, but prices will break out and surpass $3,000 an ounce in the second half of 2025. The bullish macro picture, combined with continued geopolitical risks and strong government buying, will push gold prices to new highs in 2025. Gold prices are largely driven by the Federal Reserve’s decision this year. “The key question for the gold market now is how quickly the Fed will ease policy following Donald Trump’s victory, with the inflationary impact of Trump’s policies likely to result in fewer rate cuts than expected.”

Nonfarm Forecast This WeekendUS Treasury yields rose to their highest since May last year, which has been a factor in the decline in gold prices. In contrast, the US dollar index fell sharply today due to concerns about the country's ballooning debt burden, which also supported gold's highs. In a new development, President-elect Donald Trump denied that he would ease new trade tariffs. Mr. Trump dismissed a Washington Post report citing his aides as saying that the new president might be more selective about new tariffs. After rising 27% in 2024, Goldman Sachs recently dropped its forecast for gold to reach $3,000 an ounce by the end of 2025, instead forecasting 2026 due to expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates less. Investors are now looking ahead to Friday's nonfarm payrolls data, which is expected to help shape expectations for the Fed's interest rate path this year. Market watchers are also looking to private sector employment data and the minutes of the Fed's most recent policy meeting for further details. 🔥 XAUUSD SELL 2640 - 2638🔥 💵 TP1: 2630 💵 TP2: 2620 💵 TP3: OPEN 🚫 SL: 2647

Trading Anxiety: When Fear Messes Up Your TradesEver had that scary feeling in your tummy before you make a trade? I totally get it. I used to let my worries take over my trading days. Every time the market went down, it felt like it was out to get me, making me sell stuff too fast or miss out on good deals because I was too scared. Here's what happened: - Always Scared: I was so afraid of losing money that I kept questioning every move I made, even when it was probably the right one. - Stuck in Thinking: I'd look at so many charts that I couldn't make up my mind. It was like being stuck because every choice seemed like it could be wrong. - No Sleep: I thought staying up late to watch the markets would help me, but it just made me super tired and even more worried the next day. But I learned how to deal with it. I started using stop-losses, like safety nets, so I wouldn't lose too much. I tried mindfulness stuff to keep calm. And I decided no more screens after trading time, so I could get a good night's sleep. If you're feeling the same kind of worry when you trade, you're not by yourself. We're all in this together. Let's talk about how we can stay chill even when the market gets crazy. Leave a comment or send me a message if you want to chat about dealing with this stress.

My FOMO Nightmare: How Missing One Trade Changed My Trading LifeI remember the day like it was yesterday. I was scrolling through X (Twitter), seeing everyone go wild over this one stock. My heart raced as I watched the price skyrocket, but I hesitated. I hadn't done my homework on this one, and something felt off. But the fear of missing out? That was eating at me. The next day, I woke up to see the stock had crashed. My initial relief turned into regret. Maybe I could've sold at the peak if I had just jumped in like everyone else. That's when FOMO, or Fear Of Missing Out, became my trading nemesis: -Hasty Actions: I started jumping into trades at the last minute, driven by the buzz on social media, not by my own analysis. -Screen Addiction: I couldn't step away from my screen, worried I'd miss the next big move. My life began revolving around the market's every twitch. - Chasing Losses: After missing a few opportunities, I found myself in a dangerous cycle, trying to make up for lost gains with even riskier trades. But here's the twist in my story. One evening, after a particularly bad day of chasing trends, I sat back and realized how this fear was controlling me, not my strategy. I decided to change. I set strict rules for myself: no trading based on social media hype, sticking to my research, and remembering that every market has its patterns - there's always another chance if you miss one. Now, I trade with a calm mind, knowing that if I miss one trade, there'll be another. If you've ever felt that burning desire to join the rush, only to regret it later, you're not alone. Let's share our stories and strategies for overcoming FOMO. DM me if you want to chat about how we can keep our heads in the game, not just our eyes on the screen.

Block (SQ): Preparing for a Breakout Year in 2025NYSE:SQ is shaping up to either become one of the top picks for 2025 or face a potentially challenging year ahead. From the monthly chart, NYSE:SQ has mostly traded between $100–$35 since its IPO in 2015. While the $35 level seems unlikely to be revisited anytime soon, the current focus is on reclaiming the Value Area High (VAH) at $100. Success here could trigger strong percentage gains over the next few months. We’re adopting a cautious approach, closely monitoring the chart. On the lower time frame, NYSE:SQ is sitting in a key support/resistance zone (highlighted as a yellow box). Ideally, we want to see a break above the Value Area Low (VAL) and the completion of a smaller 5-wave cycle, marking the end of wave (i). A bearish divergence on the RSI at this stage would add confluence. Following this, a pullback could provide the perfect entry point for a long position. At this time, we haven’t placed a limit order. A break below $55 would be a critical red flag, suggesting potential bearish developments, though this scenario seems unlikely without unexpected negative news.

Coca-Cola (KO): Is Risk-to-Reward Favorable Now?We have been filled on our second entry on $KO. Coca-Cola is now back trading within its range, and with the first bullish divergence on the RSI appearing, we believe that despite the current weak chart structure, the risk-to-reward ratio and dividend yield make this a worthwhile opportunity. As a traditionally slow-moving stock, Coca-Cola could gain some momentum if market focus shifts back from risk-on assets to safer, dividend-yielding stocks like $KO. This transition could provide the stock with room to grow. Key to the next move will be reclaiming the resistance at $65.14. As long as $59 holds as support, we remain optimistic. With our stop loss in place, this trade remains secure, and we are well-positioned for any developments. We are also working on improving how past analyzed assets are displayed for easier tracking. 🫡

GER40 - Short Setup My main trading principle is that the price always moves from swept liquidity levels to untouched liquidity levels. In particular case we clearly can see the following context: price swept 1D key liquidity level and left untouched level lower, this indicates on probable distribution Wyckoff range. But to take more statistically probable trades we should wait for some type of lower timeframe confirmation, and in this case we can notice sign of weakness (reaching the middle of the range), so potentially there is a higher probability to see price lower. Your success is determined solely by your ability to consistently follow the same principles.
