Calibrated entry specs, to slightly loosen up the Stoploss
atr_x = 2.5
entry_atr_xfactor = 3.7
-----
This is a simple systematic Trend strategy where entry is based on two conditions
1. Price crossing over the EMA
2. The present ATR is less than an ATR multiple
The ATR condition allows us to enter trades that has not gapped too much as that usually results in a price pullback
Risk
Fixed & tight SL based on ATR multiples closes trades fast
Closing of the trades is a simple price cross over the daily SMA
This strategy only has a 34.38% win rate. So most trades will end up as losers until we hit a strong upswing.

LCID's vwap bounced after pullback LONGLCID trended up 40% from late June and then over 2-3 days completed a standard
Fib 0.5 retracement before bouncing off a longterm anchored mean VWAP and
reversing. The reversal is supported by the two time frame RSI indicator showing
the lower TF RSI crossing above the higher TF RSI and both of them approaching
the 50 level. The zero lag MACD shows the lines crossed under the histogram and
are now approaching the horizontal zero line. The relative rigor indicator shows
a line cross while the values were negative and now approach to the horizontal
zero line in parallel. Overall I conclude that LCID is set up for a long entry.
LCID Long Trade Setup VWAP and Falling Wedge BreakoutsLCID on a 30 minute chart showed a falling wedge from mid-December to late January then with
breakout which took it 30% in one and a half days. This was a previous idea. I believe the news
catalyst from Saudi Arabia prompted a burst of trader interest. The following day, the price
began another falling wedge pattern for one week. It then broke out for a 10 % move in a short
time interval.
The chart also demonstrates the bigger moves are centered around VWAP band lines where
trading volume and volatility are the greatest. The relative volume and volatility indicators
help emphasize this point.
At this point, LCID may be turning down into another albeit smaller and lower-duration
falling wedge and is well positioned for a brief short trade. The target would be the
mean anchored VWAP at 3.25. For a better entry selection, a zoom into 3-10 minutes would
be helpful

Tesla Set to Cut 601 More Jobs in CaliforniaTesla ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) has announced plans to lay off an additional 601 employees in California, following a series of global job cuts initiated by CEO Elon Musk. The move follows a previous announcement that the company would lay off over 10% of its global workforce, which reached over 140,000 in late 2023. The latest layoff plan will affect employees at Tesla's facilities in Palo Alto and Fremont, California, starting on June 20, 2024.
Last month, Tesla ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) laid off 6,020 people in California and Texas as part of the headcount cuts. The global job reductions also included 285 employees at its Buffalo, New York facilities that house the labeling team for its Autopilot driver assistance software and fast-charging equipment.
Baidu, the general manager of Baidu's autonomous driving vehicle unit, has announced that it may collaborate with Tesla on self-driving Robotaxi production in China. If the collaboration proceeds, it will mark a significant advancement for Baidu's autonomous driving vehicle initiative. Baidu has projected that Apollo Go will break even by Q4 2024 and begin generating profit in 2025.

Tesla - Clear flag formation!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Tesla .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
After the triangle breakout and the bullish break and retest on Tesla stock back in 2020, we saw a significant rally of 1.500% towards the upside. For 3 years Tesla has now been trading in a decent bullish flag formation and just broke an important support area towards the downside. However at the moment Tesla is literally in no man's land so it is better to wait for the next retest of structure.

Tesla $TSLA #TSLA #TSLT $TSLTMy plan for Tesla over the next few sessions of ideas.
Its rather clear what I'm looking for here.
I'll use NASDAQ:TSLT (leverage) to average out the larger DCA issues should it start to get away from me while using regular NASDAQ:TSLA for the main idea.
I like doing this so that it is a lot easier IMO to catch back up with the in between moves as well as have a secondary way to TP while still holding the larger position for the bigger move etc.
Profits from one can be rotated into the other making it not only your hedge but also a bit of a self sustaining play.
Should we get some sort of flash crash I'll happily take that as an opportunity to build a larger long-term play in the $75-$125 ranges.
Once they get passed this next cycle of manipulation and back to the ones who control the media and analysts pushing it we will see it blow through most of these levels with ease and back to $200+
Once we get some news one of these months/years about bigger companies buying the A.I. tech etc. we will have a whole other narrative besides selling cars and hype.
Should You Short Tesla? A Look at China's Potential RisksShould You Short Tesla? A Look at China's Market Rebound and Potential Risks
Tesla (TSLA) stock has been on a downward spiral in 2024, and some investors are considering shorting the stock. This strategy involves borrowing shares, selling them at a high price, hoping the price falls, and then repurchasing them at a lower price to return to the lender. While China's electric vehicle (EV) market rebound and competition from local players present challenges for Tesla, shorting the stock comes with significant risks.
China's EV Market Rebound: A Double-Edged Sword
China, the world's largest EV market, experienced a slow start in 2024 due to various factors, including supply chain disruptions and COVID-19 lockdowns. However, recent reports indicate a significant rebound in April. This is good news for the overall EV industry, but it's a mixed bag for Tesla.
Tesla's China Woes:
• Sales Slump: While Chinese EV makers like BYD and NIO reported strong sales growth in April, Tesla's sales in China dropped significantly compared to the previous month. This could be due to a combination of factors:
o Increased Competition: Chinese manufacturers are offering a wider range of EVs at competitive price points, catering to local preferences.
o Brand Perception: Recent quality control issues and negative publicity might be impacting consumer trust in Tesla.
Headwinds for Tesla:
Beyond China, there are other concerns for Tesla:
• Job Cuts and Demand Concerns: Tesla's recent job cuts fueled speculation about weakening global demand, potentially leading to production slowdowns.
• Macroeconomic Factors: Rising interest rates and inflation could dampen consumer spending on high-priced EVs.
• Increased Competition: Legacy automakers are aggressively entering the EV market with advanced technology and established production capabilities.
The Case Against Shorting Tesla
Despite these challenges, shorting Tesla comes with inherent risks:
• Short Squeeze: If Tesla's stock price unexpectedly rises, short sellers face significant losses as they scramble to repurchase shares at a higher price. Tesla has a large and passionate fanbase who might jump in to buy the dip, further squeezing short positions.
• Elon Musk Factor: Tesla CEO Elon Musk is known for his unpredictable actions and ability to rally investor sentiment. A positive announcement or innovation could trigger a sharp stock price increase, catching short sellers off guard.
• Long-Term Potential: Tesla remains a leader in EV technology and innovation. The company continues to invest in R&D and expand its production capacity, potentially positioning itself for future growth.
Alternative Strategies
Instead of shorting Tesla, investors might consider these options:
• Put Options: Put options allow investors to profit if the stock price falls. This strategy offers limited downside risk compared to shorting.
• Investing in Competitors: Investors could look at Chinese EV companies that are gaining market share, potentially benefiting from the rebounding market.
• Hedging: Combining long positions in Tesla with short positions in other EV stocks can create a more balanced portfolio.
Conclusion
TSLA LONG - May 24 (MATREND v1.5)This is a simple systematic Trend strategy where entry is based on two conditions
1. Price crossing over the EMA
2. The present ATR is less than an ATR multiple
The ATR condition allows us to enter trades that has not gapped too much as that usually results in a price pullback

TSLA PatternTesla's breakout signals a significant shift in price direction. If the breakout is upwards, it suggests bullish momentum, possibly driven by positive news or strong fundamentals. Conversely, a downward breakout might reflect concerns or negative sentiment. Traders watch for confirmation through volume and sustained movement, taking positions accordingly. However, breakout trading carries risks, so caution and risk management are essential.
TESLA Set To Fall! SELL!
My dear subscribers,
This is my opinion on the TESLA next move:
The instrument tests an important psychological level 181.20
Bias - Bearish
Technical Indicators: Supper Trend gives a precise Bearish signal, while Pivot Point HL predicts price changes and potential reversals in the market.
Target - 167.46
My Stop Loss - 190.37
About Used Indicators:
On the subsequent day, trading above the pivot point is thought to indicate ongoing bullish sentiment, while trading below the pivot point indicates bearish sentiment.

Tesla - Is it a fakeout?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Tesla.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
Back in 2020 we had a decent break and retest on Tesla stock which was followed by a pump of +1.500% towards the upside. Then Tesla topped out in 2021 and we saw sideways movement ever since. At the moment Tesla stock is trading in a bullish flag formation and is hovering around the psychological $200 level. Soon there will be a very interesting trading opportunity on Tesla stock.

HERE ARE 10 COMMON TRADING INDICATORS MADE SIMPLE Chart has all 10.
Hope this helps.
Hope it's simple to understand if you still struggle with indicators.
Remember, no one indicator is good on its own.
Think of an indicator as a sign that you should pay attention to a possibility. For example, if I go to the ocean, maybe I have an indicator that says you're closer to sharks than in the great lakes, will I be eaten? Probably not, but also, there are more sharks and my indicator confirms that. I can't use this one indicator to say, I'm probably about to be eaten. BUT.. Let's say I have multiple indicators that I use to give me a better idea if I'll be eaten. Maybe an indicator tells me there is an oddly higher than avg number of a sharks number 1 food source within the area. Can I say I'll be eaten? No, but I could say, maybe due to the increased food supply, there may be more sharks. What if I have a few more indicators, one of which says there are 30 great whites within 10 miles, and another that says, usually at this time of the year, there are only ever between 2 to 7 great whites. Can I say, Yes, I'll be eaten? NOPE, not yet.
What if I have another indicator that says, across the globe, shark attacks are increasing by a certain percentage, and another that says, there is blood detected within the water you're swimming in, which is lower than the threshold for human's to detect, but higher than the threshold needed for sharks to smell. What if I combine that with an indicator that says, on avg there are 1000 swimmers here, but now, there are under 30. Can I say I'll be eaten? Nope, BUT, I can say, hmm. Something is up and if one of us were to get eaten, I'm more likely to be picked out of 30 people than 1000.
When can I say I'll be eaten? Probably if you build an indicator that can detect bite force and compare to known bit forces of sharks that could sense you're actively being eaten, but at that point, the stock moved already... err I mean, the shark ate already, and you're late to the show..
My point being, use them, but don't always assume when it comes to indicators. Take in all the data and then make a decision. Some indicators fit your style, some won't. Do I need 30 stacked indicators for sharks if I'm swimming in Lake Michigan? Probably not, it would make everything a mess.
So, here there are.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): Ah, the RSI, the “I’ve had too much” indicator of the stock market. When it hits above 70, it’s like your stock had too much to drink at the party and is likely to come crashing down. Below 30? It’s been left out in the cold and might be due for a warm-up (a.k.a. price increase). Remember, it’s not foolproof, but then again, neither is your weather app.
On-Balance Volume (OBV): This one’s all about following the crowd. If the volume is increasing, it’s like everyone’s rushing to get the latest iPhone. But remember, even if everyone jumps off a bridge, it doesn’t mean you should too. Always double-check before you follow the herd.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The SMA is like that reliable friend who’s always a bit behind on the latest trends. It gives you the average closing price over a certain period. It’s simple, it’s moving, it’s average. It’s the SMA.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): The EMA is the SMA’s hip younger sibling. It cares more about what happened recently than what happened way back when. It’s great for short-term trading, but remember, even the coolest kids can get things wrong.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): This one sounds complicated, but it’s not. It’s like watching two rabbits on a race track. If the fast rabbit (the 12-day EMA) overtakes the slow rabbit (the 26-day EMA), it’s a bullish signal. If the slow rabbit overtakes the fast one, it’s a bearish signal. Just remember, rabbits are unpredictable!
Fibonacci retracements: Ah, Fibonacci, the Da Vinci of math. These horizontal lines indicate where support and resistance levels might be. It’s like trying to predict where you’ll meet your ex at a party. It could be useful, but don’t rely on it too much.
Stochastic oscillator: This one’s a bit like a pendulum. When it swings one way, it’s likely to swing back the other way soon. It’s great for spotting potential reversals, but remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Bollinger bands: These are like the elastic waistband of your favorite sweatpants. If the price hits the upper band, it might be time to sell (or stop eating pizza). If it hits the lower band, it might be time to buy (or hit the gym).
Average Directional Index (ADX): This one tells you whether the price is trending strongly or just wandering around like a lost puppy. Above 25 is a strong trend, below 20 is weak. But remember, even lost puppies find their way home eventually.
Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line: This one’s all about supply and demand. If the line is going up, the stock is being accumulated. If it’s going down, it’s being distributed. It’s like tracking whether more people are buying or selling fidget spinners.
Remember, these indicators are like tools in a toolbox. Don’t try to build a house with just a hammer. Use them in combination, understand their limitations, and always do your own research. Happy trading! 📈
VOLUME INDICATORS, PART 2. SEVEN COMMON VOLUME INDICATORS.Understanding Volume Indicators:
Volume indicators are essential tools for traders and analysts, providing insights into market activity and sentiment. In this guide, we'll explore seven common volume indicators and how you can use them to enhance your trading strategies.
1. Volume
Volume is the simplest volume indicator, representing the total number of shares or contracts traded over a specific period. It's like the crowd size at a Super Bowl game—when the stadium is packed and roaring, it indicates a lot of interest and activity. Similarly, high trading volume suggests significant buying or selling activity in the market. Traders often use volume to confirm the strength of price movements and identify potential trends.
Volume, the bedrock of volume analysis, represents the total number of shares or contracts traded over a specific period. Common parameter values range from 20 to 50 periods for short-term analysis and 100 to 200 periods for long-term trends. Remember, volume precedes price movements, so significant changes can hint at impending shifts in direction.
2. On-Balance Volume (OBV)
On-Balance Volume (OBV) adds a cumulative total of volume when the price closes up and subtracts it when the price closes down. It's akin to keeping score of how loud each team's fans are cheering during the Super Bowl game. If one team's supporters get louder as the game progresses, it suggests growing momentum for that team. Likewise, OBV helps traders gauge buying and selling pressure, providing insights into potential price movements. A rising OBV indicates bullish momentum, while a falling OBV suggests bearish sentiment.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) tracks cumulative volume based on price movements. Set your period length typically between 14 to 20 periods for optimal results. A rising OBV confirms bullish trends, while a falling OBV suggests bearish sentiment. Divergences between OBV and price often foreshadow reversals.
3. Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line)
The Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line) combines price and volume to show how much of a security is being accumulated or distributed. It's like a tug-of-war between the two teams during halftime at the Super Bowl. The team with more supporters pulling harder gains ground. Similarly, the A/D Line measures the battle between buyers and sellers. If it's trending upwards, it suggests that accumulation (buying) is outweighing distribution (selling), indicating potential upward price movement.
The Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line) gauges the flow of funds into or out of a security. Optimal period lengths range from 14 to 30 periods. Rising A/D Line values signal accumulation and potential price appreciation, while declining values indicate distribution and possible downturns.
4. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) measures the flow of money into or out of a security based on both price and volume. It's akin to checking the enthusiasm of the fans after each touchdown at the Super Bowl. If the fans are still hyped and buying team merchandise, it suggests sustained enthusiasm and support. CMF helps traders assess the strength of buying or selling pressure. A positive CMF suggests buying pressure, while a negative CMF indicates selling pressure.
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) measures buying and selling pressure relative to price movements. Common period lengths vary from 10 to 30 periods. Positive CMF values indicate buying pressure, while negative values suggest selling pressure. Look for divergences between CMF and price for early reversal signals.
5. Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculates the average price a security has traded at throughout the day, weighted by volume. It's like a buffet at a Super Bowl party where each dish is labeled with the average popularity rating from all the guests. The more popular dishes have a higher average rating. Similarly, VWAP gives traders a sense of the average price level where most trading activity has occurred. Traders use VWAP to assess whether their trades were executed at favorable prices relative to the day's average.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) calculates the average price weighted by volume. Period lengths typically range from 20 to 50 periods. VWAP acts as a dynamic support or resistance level, guiding traders on optimal entry and exit points. Monitor deviations from VWAP to identify potential trend shifts.
6. Money Flow Index (MFI)
The Money Flow Index (MFI) measures the rate at which money is flowing into or out of a security based on both price and volume. It's akin to fans at the Super Bowl game exchanging team merchandise and tickets. The more transactions happening, the more money is flowing between fans. MFI helps traders gauge market sentiment. A high MFI suggests strong buying pressure, while a low MFI indicates selling pressure. Traders often look for divergences between MFI and price movements to anticipate potential reversals.
The Money Flow Index (MFI) evaluates the rate of money flow into or out of a security. Optimal period lengths usually range from 10 to 20 periods. High MFI values indicate overbought conditions, while low values suggest oversold conditions. Watch for divergences between MFI and price for reversal signals.
7. Volume Rate of Change (VROC)
Volume Rate of Change (VROC) measures the rate of change in volume over a specific period, showing whether volume is increasing or decreasing rapidly. It's like measuring the acceleration or deceleration of the crowd's excitement level during different parts of the Super Bowl game. If the crowd gets louder and louder as the game progresses, it indicates increasing excitement and momentum. Similarly, a rising VROC suggests increasing buying or selling activity, while a falling VROC suggests waning activity.
Volume Rate of Change (VROC) measures the rate of change in volume over a specific period. Common period lengths vary from 10 to 20 periods. Rising VROC values signify increasing volume momentum, indicating potential price continuation. Falling values may precede price reversals.
GME and VOLUME? Let's go back and see GME on the Weekly
In conclusion, volume indicators provide valuable insights into market sentiment and potential price movements. By understanding and incorporating these indicators into your trading strategy, you can make more informed decisions and improve your overall trading performance.
REMEMBER, no one indicator on it's own tells you much, but a lot of different indicators all telling you the same thing at the same area... pay attention to that kind of confirmation.
Hope this helps!!

You can go in depth with all of these, I don't find it necessary for most traders, but the option is there, however, you'll need someone more advanced than myself to help you through that.
