Trend Rating IndicatorThe purpose of this indicator is to visualize the major trends with a minimum lag and a plot relatively true to the chart. Here for display and testing the candles are colored according to the main plot ("RATING"), but it is not necessary to use this option for the indicator to be useful. This indicator judges the asset on a multitude of factors and awards points that accumulate. - The RSI of all these ratings is displayed under the name "RATING". - A filtered version "Swing Gaps" which only appears in overbought or oversold, but show an area when the swing is complete. - Different crossover signals are available.

HOW-TO: Build your strategy with Protervus Trading ToolkitHi Traders! This tutorial will show you how to build your own strategy and link it to Protervus Trading Toolking (PTT) . First of all, let me remind everyone that this content should be considered educational material, and backtesting results are not a guarantee. My goal is not to provide ready-made strategies, signals, or infallible methods, but rather indicators and tools to help you focus on your own research and build a reliable trading plan based on discipline. So, without further ado let's start building our first strategy! For this tutorial we'll build a simple EMA Cross strategy and add the Chaining Snippet to link it to PTT. The first step is to create a new indicator in Pine Editor and add the initial requirements: //@version=5 indicator("EMA Cross (data chaining)", overlay = true) Let's now create the inputs where we will be editing EMAs' length: FastEmaLen = input.int(50, title = "Fast EMA Length") SlowEmaLen = input.int(200, title = "Fast EMA Length") At this point we can proceed by calculating the two EMAs: FastEma = ta.ema(close, FastEmaLen) SlowEma = ta.ema(close, SlowEmaLen) We are now ready to script our Entry conditions: BullishCross = ta.crossover(FastEma, SlowEma) BearishCross = ta.crossunder(FastEma, SlowEma) We also wish to see the two EMAs plotted on the chart, so we will add the following code: plot(FastEma, color = color.new(color.green, 0)) plot(SlowEma, color = color.new(color.red, 0)) At this point, our code should look like this: Great, we are now ready to add PTT Snippet by pasting all the code at the end of the one we just wrote. Let's head to the CONDITIONS INPUTS section and replace the placeholder text for EntryCondition_1 , giving it a proper name: EntryCondition_1 = input.bool(true, 'Ema Cross', group = 'Entry Conditions') We can also add null to the unused inputs to clear the settings panel: ADDING ENTRY CONDITIONS We'll now be adding our Long and Short Entry conditions in the ENTRY \ FILTER CONDITIONS section. In LongEntryCondition_1 we should replace null with BullishCross : LongEntryCondition_1 = BullishCross Same for ShortEntryCondition_1 down below: ShortEntryCondition_1 = BearishCross Guess what? We're done! We just added our Entry conditions: We can now compile the script and add our indicator to the chart, along with PTT. Let's open PTT and select "EMA Cross (data chaining): Chained Data" in the Source Selection drop-down menu - the data will now be forwarded to PTT and we can start tweaking the settings to experiment with our new strategy: ADDING EXIT CONDITIONS Let's say we now also want to add an Exit condition for when the price goes above (or below) the fast EMA, signaling a trend reversal: we can do that in no time! Go back at the top of the code, and right after our EMA calculations, add: PriceAboveFastEma = ta.crossover(close, FastEma) PriceBelowFastEma = ta.crossunder(close, FastEma) Of course, we also need to add the newly created conditions in the snippet code. Let's find the section EXIT CONDITIONS and, just like our Entry conditions, we can replace the null placeholder with our actual conditions: LongExitCondition_1 = PriceBelowFastEma ... ShortExitCondition_1 = PriceAboveFastEma If we also want to use these conditions as Stops, we can add them to the STOP CONDITIONS section: Note: Exit Conditions will close the trade in profit, while Stop Conditions will close the trade in loss. Still, you should not worry about scripting it yourself: PTT will take care of analyzing the trade and separate Exits from Stops when the signal to close the position is received. ADDING FILTER CONDITIONS Besides using our indicator to open and close trades, we can also use it to filter the signal from another, chained indicator. To keep this tutorial simple, let's use the same EMA Cross script, so we can add it again to the chart and use the first one as Signal, and the second as Filter. Let's add our Filter conditions in the script: FastAboveSlow = FastEma > SlowEma SlowAboveFast = FastEma < SlowEma Just like we did in the previous steps, we should now add the option in the settings panel and the Filter conditions in the snippet code: CHAINING INDICATORS We currently have one EMA Cross indicator working as Signal in the chain, linked to PTT on the chart: Let's copy-and-paste the EMA Cross indicator (or add it again) to have two of them. The first one on the chain will act as Filter, so in the settings let's give the two EMAs a longer length (e.g. 250 and 300) in order to verify the trend and discard signals received when it's not favorable. Remember to set output mode as Filter, and tick the Filter box. The second one will be our Signal: we can choose the length of the two EMAs we will use as Entry \ Exit when a cross happens (e.g. 100 and 200), enabling our Entry and Exit conditions by ticking the boxes. This time, we will tick the "Receive Data" box, and select the Chained source of the Filter: If before linking the Filter you already had the Signal linked to PTT, you will notice it automatically recalculates the data - and if our Filter works as intended, the improvements will be visible ;) EXTRAS If your indicator doesn't plot anything on the chart, we must enable a "Dummy Plot" in order to prevent issues, since we are sending chained data as an invisible plot and it cannot be the only plot in the code. Just un-comment the line plot(close < 0 ? close : na, title='Dummy Plot') to avoid this problem: ADDING SIGNALS MARKERS PTT will show all labels and markers for trades, but if you wish to have them on the indicator or just to debug your signals, you can enable and customize the last lines in the snippet: CHAINING SCHEMA |-- Filters (optional, any number of filters - linked one to another) |---- Signal (mandatory, only one indicator must be set to Signal - in case of multiple Filters, Signal must be linked to the last Filter in the chain) |------ Protervus Trading Toolkit (linked to Signal) |-------- PTT Plugins (Strategy Wrapper, Trade Progression, etc - linked to PTT) NOTES - When you chain an indicator, its source remains "locked" even if you un-tick the Receive Data box. If you wish to use that source on another indicator you should un-link it first (just select "Close" as source to free the indicator's chain output). - If you remove indicators in the chain, all other indicators linked AFTER it will be deleted - to prevent this, you should un-link chained indicators before removing them. - Pine Script is limited to one source input per indicator, so you cannot chain indicators that let you choose another source to calculate data: for example, if you have an RSI indicator with a source selection ( input.source ) you must remove that input and only use the one for chaining. You can read more on PineScript Reference page.

What is Spread in Trading | Trading Basics 📚 Hey traders, It turned out that many newbie traders completely neglect spreads in their trading. In this post, we will discuss what is the market spread and how it can occasionally spoil a seemingly good trade. 💱No matter what financial instrument we trade, in order to buy the asset we need to have a counterpart that is willing to sell it to us and vice versa, if we want to sell the asset, we need to have someone to sell it to. The market provides a convenient exchange between buyers and sellers. The asset price is determined by a current supply and demand. However, even the most liquid markets have two prices: bid and ask. 🙋‍♂️Ask price represents the lowest price the market participants are willing to sell the asset to you, while 🙇‍♂️bid price shows the highest price the market participants are willing to buy the asset from you. Bid and ask price are almost never equal. The difference between them is called the spread. 📈The spread size depends on liquidity of the market. 📍Higher liquidity implies bigger trading volumes and greater number of market participants, making it easier for them to make an exchange. On such markets we see lower spreads. 📍From the other side, less liquid markets are categorized with low trading volumes, making it harder for the market participants to find a counterpart for the exchange. On such market, spreads are usually high. For example, current EURUSD price is 1.0249 / 1.0269. Bid price is 1.0249 - you open short position on that price. Ask price is 1.0269 - you open long position on that price. The spread is 2 pips. ❗️Spreads must always be considered in a calculation of a risk to reward ratio for the trade. For scalpers and day traders, higher than usual spread may spoil a seemingly good trade. Always check spreads before you open the trade. In 2020, for example, we saw unusually high spreads on Gold during UK/NY trading sessions. Spreads were so high that I did not manage to open a trade for a couple of days. Not considering spreads in such a situation would cost you a lot of money. Do you consider spread when you trade?🤓 ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section. Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Is mindset holding you back 🤔Trading can be a rollercoaster of emotions. Many traders are unaware of when their state of mind leads to underperforming trades and why it happens. We are all different and unique when it comes to trading, and understanding the type of trader you are is essential to your success. Traders can spend a lot of time studying technical indicators and strategies, but understanding the psychology driving your trading decisions is just as important. The first starting point of getting on the right path in regards to trading psychology and emotions is by having the right one of two mindset choices. There's two mindsets which will effect your trading results and progress massively. They are 'Growth mindset' and 'Fixed mindset' Of those two mindsets there is only a place for one when it comes to trading and that is 'GROWTH MINDSET' The graphic on chart shows the difference between the two mindsets. If you can't ditch the 'Fixed mindset ' you will never be able to progress in trading. No matter how great of a trader you think you are, or how well you think you handle your emotions. It's impossible to remove them from the equation completely when trading. When emotions are combined with a 'Fixed mindset' mentality however you are going to feel emotional pain and loss of money when it comes to your trading. Once you have learned to recognise your mindset, you can then begin the next important step of switching to the ' Growth mindset ' People with a ' Fixed mindset ' believe they are born with a certain amount of intelligence and that it is fixed for the rest of their lives. People with a 'Growth mindset ' however know that intelligence is not fixed and that you can in effect grow your brain. They see their traits as just a starting point and know that these can be developed by hard work, effort, dedication and challenge. Having a growth mindset can improve your progress and attainment and this is crucial in being successful as a trader. The brain can be developed like a muscle, changing and growing stronger the more it is used. Your abilities are also very much like muscles they need training in order to perform at their peak. You can learn how to do anything you want to do and you can get better at whatever that is with time and consistent practice. Even if you have what you perceive to be a talent or ability for something, if you never practice that talent or ability you simply will never improve. Applying this theory to your trading game will help you grow not just your accounts but as a person also. Get that 'Growth mindset' and start believing in your ability to change. Thanks for looking. Darren 🙌

How to understand the market movement?BINANCE:BTCUSDT When you just open charts for the first time, the market movement seems chaotic: incomprehensible bars, lines, and so on remind us of a medical cardiogram. Here we have only one very important question: "How to understand the market movement?". In fact, everything is simpler than it seems. Let's start with a classic trend move. There are two camps on the market - "Bulls" and "Bears". Bulls - buy (raise the price values ​​up), and bears - sell (lower the price values ​​down). Our task is to determine who is stronger in the market. This is the definition of the power of movement. Market movement consists of a trend movement and a sideways movement. If the price lows and highs are higher than the previous ones, this may indicate the strength of the Bulls (uptrend), if the lows and highs are lower than the previous ones, the strength is on the side of the Bears (downtrend). When there are no clear higher/lower lows and highs then it is a sideways move. Let's start from the most important. There are two phases in a trend movement: 1) Main movement 2) Correction. Let's take an upward movement as an example: From the very beginning, you should have an understanding that the trend is your friend. 70-80% of trades should be opened strictly in the main direction of movement, and only 20-30% - against it (trades that are opened in the direction of correction). In the downward movement, everything is exactly the opposite. In the case of lateral movement, the main factors for work are the boundaries of lateral movement. Also, when working with trend movement, do not forget to look at the background timeframes. What are timeframes in general and which ones are the main ones and which are the background ones? Timeframe (tf) is a certain period of time for which a candle is formed. The change of tf gives us the opportunity to look inside each candle. So one daily candle (1D) contains six four-hour candles (4H), and one four-hour candle (4H) contains sixteen fifteen-minute candles (15M) and so on. Each timeframe carries certain information for analysis. We can mark for ourselves the main timeframes: 1D 4H 1H 30m 15m 5m 1m All other timeframes will act as intermediate (background) ones for us. How to understand which timeframe is more important? 1D or all the same 1H? In fact, there is no one important TF. As we pointed out earlier, each carries important information. Whether it is 5m or 1h, they are equally important for analysis. There is only a sequence of analysis and trend definition. From older to younger. You must take into account all timeframes, carefully analyze each of them, not missing a single detail. Every factor you have should be "fractal" - displayed on lower TFs. Do not rack your brains and do not look for “golden” information on the Internet “how to determine the trend”, just determine the highs and lows on the chart and everything will fall into place. Also, the trend cannot be predicted. You can't think of yourself "Now the trend will begin" - No! It is determined "by the fact" of its formation. The optimal time for crypto trading is determined by the opening of stock trading sessions, as practice shows, this is a highly volatile time on the market. Within these trading sessions, there is a specific time that shows the main volatility at a distance. This time is the most successful for trading.

"Stop it, Picasso! Trading should be kept simple."Quick question: which of the two illustrations portrayed on the graph do you enjoy more? If your preference is the one on the right, then you should have definitely continued the legacy of the Renaissance era artists. On the contrary, if you prefer the one on the left-hand side of the screen, let’s become friends. Starting with the portrait (let’s put it that way) on the left, we can observe how everyhting is illustrated in a crystal clear way. Firstly, no indicators have been used, which makes it easier for us to read the chart. Second, it has been shown that with as few as 2-3 confluences, a trade has been executed. On the opposite side of the road, we have the portrait which is depicted on the right side of the screen. We can see how blurry, messed up and confusing it all looks. Two random EMA’s crossing each other, ABCD patterns, Elliott Waves, tens of thousands of Fibonacci retracement levels, random Support&Resistance levels and many other indicators have been added into the chart with zero purpose. Yes, indicators could and should be used as confluences. However, by adding tens of indicators into your charts, you are not beating the market. Just like in real life, everything should be utilised in moderation. The purpose of this idea is not trying to damage the reputation of indicator trading, but to show that pure price action will always be the king. Many beginning traders get tricked into believing that by adding multiple indicators into their charts, they will have a high win rate, a successful trading journey, long-term profitability. Little do they know that many indicators contradict to each other and perplex novices into entering random positions. Of course, as we always say, if it works for you, then go for it. Chart analysis is only a part of your trading plan. There is also psychology, risk management, discipline and so forth.

53 pip profit + Horizon wins yet again! + New Horizon tradeIf these ranges lasted forever, I wouldn't mind at all. I took 53 pips this morning long, this was something I posted 2 times about last night and this morning, so check those out for a more in depth look at the signals that lead to that move. It's really important in this market to be in before the move happens, you miss out on a lot of money, and your exposure almost triples when you chase the market. Remember that. Horizon took 76 pip profit today from last Friday. That's nearly 50 pips net, since the beginning of this range. It took a 60 pip loss after being up almost 80 pips on Thursday. It couldn't find a valid exit, which is annoying considering that this strategy could have produced over 140 pips in profit last week. Trust me I've played with trailing stops and static profit targets with this strategy and they just don't work nearly as well as just letting trades run and waiting for a strong exit signal. Trade number 3 was the worst loss Horizon has taken to date, I mentioned earlier that Horizon assesses stop losses on bar close and not in real time, so the strategy is exposed adversely to large break out candles like the one in the picture below. This is a risk that I'm willing to accept though because A. Horizon mitigates that risk using multiple confirmation protocols and B. the RR is 3-4 times the losses. This strategy is designed to take 30-50 pips on average, with occasional 100-200 pip trend. As things stand, Horizon's average loss is only about 20-30 pips. Plus Horizon's wining 6-7/10 at this point so it's all good! Plus I'm adding some logic this week that I'm hoping will boost performance even further. So far it's 2/3 and currently 30 pips up on it's 4th live trade. That said if I DID find a better alternative to this stop loss strategy, I would more than likely cut my max draw down in half. It's sitting at about 8-9 right now, which I would love to get down to about 5% using the same risk. Horizon's current exposure is 1.7% per trade because of the draw down rules that FTMO and other prop firms put in place. With my own capital, I could easily raise that to 2-3%, I don't really want to though (yes I do) Horizon , like I mentioned has pyramided a short trade which has been as high as 35 pips profit, so far, so this one's looking like a winner as well. Overall that's 150 pips taken between me and the machine in the last 4-5 days, so very happy, and I'm praying for even further success in the coming weeks. I'll link each post so you can audit my trades. I post these trades well before the moves actually happen.

Trading Sessions in Forex | Trading Basics 🕰🌎 Hey traders, In this post, we will discuss trading sessions in Forex. Let's start with the definition: Trading session is daytime trading hours in a certain location. The opening and closing hours match with business hours. For that reason, trading hours are varying in different countries because of contrasting timezones. ❗️Please, note that different markets may have different trading hours. Also, some markets have pre-market and after-hours trading sessions. In this post, we are discussing only forex trading hours. The forex market opens on Sunday at 21:00 GMT and closes on Friday at 21:00 pm GMT. There are 4 main trading sessions in Forex: 🇦🇺 Australian (Sydney) Session Opens at 21:00 GMT and closes at 06:00 GMT 🇯🇵 Asian (Tokyo) Session Opens at 12:00 GMT and closes at 9:00 GMT. 🇬🇧 UK (London) Session Opens at 7:00 GMT and closes at 16:00 GMT. 🇺🇸 US (New York) Session Opens at 12:00 GMT and closes at 21:00 GMT. Asian trading session is usually categorized by low trading volumes while UK and US sessions are categorized by high trading volumes. Personally, I trade the entire UK session and US opening and usually skip Australian and Asian sessions. What trading sessions do you trade? ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section. Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Types of Orders In Trading | Trading Basics 🤝💱 Hey traders, In this post, we will discuss types of orders that we use in Forex trading. ➖ Market order. Trading position is opened at a current price level. Buying the asset, you will open a trading position at a current ask price. Selling the asset, you will open a trading position at a current bid price. Even though market order is the most preferable type of orders among newbie traders, I highly recommend not to use that, especially if you are a day trader. ❗️The main problem is that prices constantly fluctuate and there is a certain delay between order execution and position opening. For these reasons, the position will be opened from a random price level within the range where the market is currently staying, affecting a risk to reward ratio. ➖ Limit order. Trading position will be opened only from a desired price level. With buy limit, you will buy the asset from a certain level. (current price remains above the order) With buy stop order, you will buy the asset from a certain level. (current price remains below the order) With sell limit, you will sell the asset from a certain level. (current price remains below the order) With sell stop, you will sell the asset from a certain level. (current price remains above the order) That is the order type that I prefer. Limit order helps you to trade from a desirable level, automatically executing the order once it is reached, letting you preliminary set it. ❗️However, remember that there is one big disadvantage of that order type: there is no guarantee that the price will reach the desired price level to activate a trading position. For that reason, occasionally you will miss the trades. Try these order types on a demo account to learn how they work in practice. Which order type do you prefer? ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section. Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Become a better trader by just answering these questions!Hey Traders! Most people think that trading success is found within a system... yet a successful trading system could be something as simple as 2 or 3 basic combinations, knowledge of price action and a sprinkle of instinct. To me successful trading is a completely different path, I believe that real trading success falls into one sentence which is "Constant and never-ending improvement", self-improvement that is, and in today's post, since it is the weekend, I want to go over this core improvement process with you so you too can become a better trader next week! First to make it clear, I believe that out of the 100% required for trading success the system part falls into the low 10%, while the other 90%+ is within you, it is your knowledge, knowhow, instinct, mindset and everything else that makes you... you. The system is something you learn once and all you have to do is follow it forever with consistency and focus, sounds simple right? It kind of is but we humans tend to make it complicated. Anyway, its Saturday the 9th of July and I want to give you 6 questions that if you answer will make you better by at least 1% right away, but if you continue to answer these questions each time you will, guaranteed no matter what (as long as you are honest) get better by 1% each time, how much better you become in entirely up to you, and by that I mean how honest you are and how consistent you are in answering these questions! So, without anymore delays, here are the 6 questions that can make you a better trader: What was my biggest loss and why? What was my biggest profit and how? What was the best thing I did this week? What am I most excited about for the upcoming week? Did I follow my system on every trade? Was I in control of my trading, mentally, every time I traded? BONUS QUESTIONS: What prevented me from doing better? What motivated me most? What will I not repeat next week? What will I repeat next week? What do I want to remember it for? What is the best highlight? What do I regret not doing? Do you have any of your own questions that could help other traders? - Do share in the comments!

Visualizing Time Frame ContinuityThis is the simple version of the visual exercise. You will be looking at the relationship between price and TFC on the 1 minute chart as it interacts with the opening of the 1 Hour candle 1. Choose a 1 hour candle. Here I chose the 12:30 to 1:30 candle on the 27th of June 2022. (Candles with wicks will be better for this since they are range candles and tend to move across your line more) 2. Draw a line marking level where the 1 hour candle opens. 3. Go to the 1 minute chart. 4. Draw a box from the first 1 minute candle to the last 1 minute candle inside that 1 hour period 5. Using the replay function on the 1 minute chart go to the first candle on that 1 hour block and hit play. 6. Watch how every time the price is over the line you drew, the indicator shows the H as green and with (up) TFC and when its below its down and red.

(Tutorial) World Markets & their affect on Indian Stock Market!Hello Traders/Investors, Lets learn World Stock Markets and How it affect us in India on Daily/Weekly and even on long-term basis. Note: this topic is specifically for Traders (specially Day traders) and also Investors might find it interesting read. - US is called mother market and we're (i.e. Indian stock market) child market. - US market gives a queue on how world and our market would perform based on it. - Sectors like Banks (Dow Jones Bank index) n Tech/IT (NASDAQ) work pretty hand in hand with rest of world in terms of giving us a idea of direction towards which sector can have chances of moving by how much %age today. - - SGX Nifty , its a Nifty's Future contract which is traded in Singapore Exchange and gives a good idea on start of our markets. SGX Nifty timings : 6.30 AM to 11.30 PM - Asian markets specially South Korea, Hang Seng n Japan market we should watch carefully in morning to track the direction of markets. We belong to pretty much similar basket. - European Markets, CAC, DAX and FTSE we should get a median of these 3 exchanges to know how much %age they're moving. Just an observation here, our Indian markets usually stay closer to DAX movement. - Emerging markets (short form : EMs) : Emerging markets generally do not have as highly developed market and regulatory institutions as those found in developed nations. Market efficiency and strict standards in accounting and securities regulation are generally not on par with advanced economies (such as those of the United States, Europe, and Japan). - Some of the most rapidly emerging countries include Brazil, Turkey, Russia, India, and China. Also some oil rich nations are also part of this list. - To get a holistic picture of world markets.. get a queue from yesterday's closing of world markets specially US alongwith US futures which are very important. - Then, in mornings look at Asian Markets n SGX Nifty to understand where our markets might open. Around afternoon when European markets open you get an idea where our Indian market might stabilise n close. Also, we can look at European futures to get idea on where Euro markets might open. - Lastly macro economic data like Commodity prices specially Crude oil , USD INR n Dollar Index give a clarity on the markets. Higher Dollar n lower Rupee would cause panic in stock markets usually. Similarly, higher crude oil prices indirectly reduces countries foreign reserves n also affect business due to rising transport costs causing more expenses n less income. - Cryptos movements can also affect markets now days, a big downmove on cryptos n hit many stop losses n cause for margin calls n hence companies might have to liquidate other assets of individuals like stocks etc. go get back their money. - Honest mentions: Sometimes some macros are in news, then in those days stock markets start mimicking their charts.. it can b currency pair USDINR , US 10yrd BOND yield, Crude OIL sudden surge or drop in prices and most recently, NIFTY is pretty closely mimicking the US30 futures chart trend on day trades. - My personal hack: I do all my Technical Analysis on these charts n not just on NIFTY and BANKNIFTY etc. I draw all the Supply n Demand zones, Channels, Trendlines etc. to get queues from them to implement it on my trading in Intraday in India.

3 Types of Charts You Must Know 📈 Hey traders, In this post, we will discuss 3 most popular types of charts. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each one, and you will decide what type is the most appropriate for you. 📈Line Chart. Line chart is the most common chart applied by analysts. Reading financial articles in different news outlets, I noticed that most of the time the authors apply line chart for the data representation. On a price chart, the only parameter that the one can set is a time period. Time period will define a time of a security closing price. The security closing prices overtime will serve as ​data points. These points will be connected with a continuous line. Line charts are applied for displaying an asset's price history, reducing the noise from less volatile times. Being simplistic, they can provide a general picture and market sentiment. However, they are considered to be insufficient for pattern recognition and in depth analysis. 📏Range Bar Chart. In contrast to a line chart, a range bar chart does not consider time horizon. The only parameter that the one can set is a price range. By the range, I mean a price interval where the price moves. A new bar will be formed only once the prices passes the desired range. Such a chart allows to completely ignore time variable focusing only on price movement and hence reducing the market noise. The chart will plot new bars only when the market is volatile, and it will stagnate while the market is weak and consolidating. Accurately setting a desired price range, one can get multiple insights analyzing a range bar chart. 🕯Candlestick Chart. The most popular chart among technicians and my personal favorite. With just one single parameter - time period, the chart plots candlesticks. Each candlestick is formed as a desired time period passes. It contains an information about the opening price level, closing price, high and low of a selected time period. Candlestick chart is applied for pattern recognition and in-depth analysis. Its study unveils the behavior of the market participants and their actions at a desired time period. Of course, each chart has its own pluses and minuses. Choosing its type, you should know exactly what information do you want to derive from the chart. What chart type do you prefer? ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section.

Learn What is U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) 💵💲 Hey traders, I share my analysis, signals and forecasts on Dollar Index occasionally. Quite often I receive questions from you asking me to explain what exactly that index means and why it is so important. Dollar Index (DXY) is a measure of the value of the United States Dollar against a weighted basket of major currencies. This basket consists of 6 following currencies: 🇪🇺Euro (EUR) - 57.6% share 🇯🇵Japanese yen (JPY) - 13.6% share 🇬🇧Pound sterling (GBP) - 11.9% share 🇨🇦Canadian dollar (CAD) - 9.1% share 🇸🇪Swedish krona (SEK) - 4.2% share 🇨🇭Swiss franc (CHF) - 3.6% share The selection of the following basket of currencies and their weight is determined by the significance of a trading partnership between the countries. The index value is calculated with the formula: USDX = 50.14348112 × EURUSD ^ -0.576 × USDJPY ^ 0.136 × GBPUSD ^ -0.119 × USDCAD ^ 0.091 × USDSEK ^ 0.042 × USDCHF ^ 0.036 The index was launched in 1973 and had an initial value of 100. When the U.S.D is gaining strength against the above-mentioned currencies, the index is growing, while its weakness against them leads to a decline of the index value. To conclude, the Dollar Index reflects a fair value of the Dollar and its dominance in global markets. Its analysis may help to make more accurate predictions of the future direction of the dollar related instruments.

Different strategies of setting a Target ProfitSetting a Target Profit is an inalienable part of every individual's trading strategy, and each trader has his own plan and tactic of integrating a Target Profit into his or her trading style. While there are different ways and types of setting up a Target Profit, we are gonna go through four common and most well-known ones. 1. Key zones Setting a TP at a crucial zone of support or resistance is a strategy used mainly by swing traders. If the market is ranging, buying a security at the lower barrier of the rectangular box and aiming for the upper barrier of it and vice versa is commonly implemented in the market by middle or long-term speculators. 2. Risk-to-reward This technique is mostly utilised by day traders and it implies setting a fixed risk-to-reward ratio for every trade and use the "set and forget" logic. On the illustration on the top right graph, it can be inferred that even thought the price has more potential to drop to the downside, a fixed RR of 1:3 has been set. 3. Logic and intuition The more you trade, the more experience you gain. After some time on the markets, you will easily spot some patterns and price movements in advance, without being in need to have more confluences than usual. On the 3rd chart, we can observe that the price is forming a "Triple Bottom" pattern on the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Our intuition tells us that after some consolidations, an impulsive move should take place, and there is a high possibility for the price to keep rising and reach the zone of the Higher High illustrated on the graph. 4. Open Target Lastly, there is a group of traders that prefers having an open Target Profit and letting their trades run for weeks or even months. This tactic is commonly used by position traders, where they set a Stop Loss, but leave their Target Profit open, making it possible for them to hold a transaction open for long periods of time.
