Tutorial

Bullish trend phases1) Use higher timeframes to determine the trend. Look for the entry point on smaller timeframes. 3) "Zone shift" is a price movement designed to accumulate and preserve volumes. In this phase, it is worth looking for entry points. 4) "Stop hunting" usually consists of three movements that occur in a short time. The minimum of the day serves as a signal point about where the reversal will occur. 2) The second zone shift serves as a profit-taking point. 5) The penetration of each accumulation zone is a potential entry point. 6) "Market maker spread" - the maximum and minimum of the initial channel. Usually this value is 25-50 points. ------------------------- Additionally: The time of termination of consolidation depends on the volume of HOD/LOD captured during the hunt. It's hard to determine. We don't know how long it will take a major player to take a position, and we don't know how much volume he needs. A) From time to time, the movement will be without consolidation, since the accumulated volume is too large, so a V-shaped bottom may form. B) The accumulation of volume always takes different time, so sometimes it will take more time to accumulate than usual. C) Accumulation may take longer, which is why a wide zone is formed, after which movement to the second stop (accumulation zone) will begin

Bites Of Trading Knowledge For New TOP Traders #7 (short read)Bites Of Trading Knowledge For New TOP Traders #7 --------------------------------------------------------------- What is Bitcoin and from where did it originate? – Bitcoin is a digital form of a medium of exchange with no central bank control which issues fiat currencies. Instead, the financial system involving bitcoin is managed by thousands of computers distributed around the world, a decentralised ledger, where anyone can participate by downloading open-source software and connecting to the ecosystem. The invention and implementation of bitcoin is credited to the person or persons known Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. The white paper “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System“ states that bitcoin was to be, “A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.” What is the Blockchain? – The Blockchain is a decentralised ledger that is append-only meaning that data can only be added to it. Once information is added, it is extremely difficult to modify or delete it. The Blockchain enforces this by including a pointer to the previous Block in every subsequent Block. The pointer is a Hash of the previous block. Hashing involves passing data through a one-way function to produce a unique Fingerprint of the input. If the input is modified even slightly, the Fingerprint will look completely different. Since the Blocks are linked in a Chain, there is no way for someone to edit an old entry without invalidating the Blocks that follow, allowing a secure structure. What is Mining? – Mining is the process in which transactions between users are verified and added to the decentralised ledger. The process of mining bitcoin is responsible for introducing new coins into the existing circulating supply and is one of the key elements that allows bitcoin to work within the peer-to-peer decentralized network, without the need for a third party central authority. What Is a Blockchain Consensus Algorithm? – A consensus algorithm is a mechanism that allows users or machines to coordinate the agreement of what is a valid block in the Blockchain in a distributed setting. It needs to ensure that all participants in the system can agree on a single source of truth. Types of consensus algorithms include Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS). What is Proof of Work? – Proof of Work (PoW) is a mechanism for preventing the same bitcoin funds from being spent more than once. Proof of Work consists of a consensus algorithm which is a protocol that sets out the conditions for what makes a block in the Blockchain valid. It ensures the security and integrity of bitcoin’s distributed ledger. RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR CORPORATES AND INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS – Diversification: Portfolio Focused on Pairs Trading Strategies – Many individual investors use a pairs trade as a trading strategy that involves matching a long position with a short position in two markets with a high correlation. In currency trading, the most economically and politically stable and liquid currencies are commonly the focus of market participants as the focus for currency pairs trading like these eight most traded currencies: U.S. dollar (USD), euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), British pound (GBP), Australian dollar (AUD), Canadian dollar (CAD), Swiss franc (CHF), and Chinese Yuan (CNY). If an individual investor is pairing EUR with CHF as part of their pairs trading portfolio, they could use common technical indicators like moving averages as part of their analysis in forming a trade decision. For example, EURUSD on 4th May had crossed the moving average, but USDCHF had not shown similar price action, which could indicate the potential for follow through failure in the EURUSD to the downside. Contrast this with the 16th June where both EURUSD and USDCHF had both crossed the moving average and had clear follow through subsequently. Investors would need to analyze their expected returns with and without currency eThe investor could alternatively consider trading the Mini US Dollar Index ® Futures given that the analysis could point to an opportunity being in the U.S. Dollar, which had been removed as a factor in this pairing.

BITCOIN - Wyckoff Accumulation TheoryWhat is Wyckoff Accumulation? Developed by Richard Wyckoff in the 1930s, the Wyckoff Schematic helps traders to study the supply and demand of an underlying asset. This is possible through the analysis of an asset's footprint illustrating the control of smart money. Such players take action in these ranges to build orders before making the price move. In our example, we will use the Wyckoff Accumulation to illustrate Bitcoin's current price action. What is clear during the Accumulation phase is that while the price remains flat in a macro-scale, it shows strength for buyers. Understanding such phase and patterns of the market allows investors to find a suitable buying position. To apply the Wyckoff Accumulation theory properly, there are a few rules to follow: 1. Use daily price charts for a more accurate interpretation of strong support and resistance. 2. Identify market direction based on supply and demand. To simply understand: - When Demand is superior to Supply: Price moves up - When Demand is inferior to Supply: Price moves down - When Demand is equal to Supply: No change in price Bitcoin has been in a downtrend for the past weeks and many of the market participants believe that it is oversold. KDJ, RSI, MACD in the daily are showing signs of a potential reversal. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is at a fear and greed index of 10. Therefore, we can confidently say that while price is stagnant for Bitcoin, price is expected to move up once demand exceeds supply. 3. Understand the significance of cause and effect. In this case, Wyckoff differentiates accumulation and distribution: - Accumulation (cause) leads to an uptrend (effect) - Distribution (cause) leads to a downtrend (effect) 4. Study the importance of volume. Trading volume shows sentiment, the current trend has a greater chance of continuing. On the other hand, if the volume doesn’t support the price action, it will create a divergence in the price, leading to a stop or change in direction. In our case, all price action is supported by volume. But it is decreasing, therefore suggesting a potential reversal. Phases to identify in a Wyckoff Accumulation: PS — Preliminary Support: The preliminary support appears after a long bearish trend. SC — Selling Climax: The selling climax is described as a huge sell off, breaking the PS. Price may close far from the low with a long-wicked candle. AR — The Automatic Rally: The price reverses and recovers from the selling pressure. ST — The Secondary Test: After the AR, the price will go lower again but controlled. SPRING — The Spring: In this phase, the price will perform a hard test of recent lows that will mislead traders. In this moment, it is believed that we are in this moment of the Wyckoff Accumulation! To confirm this movement, Bitcoin requires a test and make a higher low! AS — Accumulation Schematic: The last stage of the accumulation cycle. The price should break out from the range with an impulsive bullish pressure and confirm the upcoming bullish trend. Hope this short tutorial is helpful to navigate the cryptoverse in a moment where the market is in extreme fear! Trade safely and do drop a like if you enjoyed this article!

FLAG and PENNANTHello everyone! I want to tell you a little about such figures as Flag and Pennant. These patterns are quite common on the chart, so every trader should know how to trade them. What does the flag look like? After a strong movement (flagpole), the price begins to correct in the form of a rectangle, which corrects against the previous trend (flag). What does a pennant look like? Just like a flag, a pennant appears after a strong trend. After that, the correction begins in the form of a narrowing triangle. How to trade the flag? A bullish flag is a flag that has formed after a strong upward movement. The entry point for a bullish flag will be a breakout and anchoring the resistance of the rectangle (flag). The stop is placed at the low of the flag. To calculate a possible profit target, it is worth measuring the flagpole of the flag - this value superimposed above the breakout will be the target for your profit. How to trade a pennant? A bullish pennant forms after a strong bullish move. To find an entry point, you need to wait until the resistance of the triangle is broken and the price fixes above the level. Stop loss is usually placed below the nearest minimum. To get an approximate profit target, you need to measure the length of the bullish move in front of the triangle - this value will be your target above the break. Conclusion These patterns are very common and give an excellent risk / reward ratio, usually greater than 1: 3. With correct trading, the profit value will be even higher. Do not forget that these shapes are continuation shapes. And don't forget to set your stop loss. Good luck to you!

FIGURE OF TECHNICAL ANALYSIS "DIAMOND"Today we will talk about the figure of technical analysis "Diamond" Diamond is not so common, so the figure is not so popular with traders. But when the figure appears on the chart, you will get a great opportunity to earn big profits. Identification The diamond appears after a strong upward movement, which stops at some point and an expanding triangle begins to form on the chart. After that, the expansion stops and the reverse process begins – a narrowing of the price, so the second part of the diamond is formed. The narrowing leads to the formation of a second triangle, from which the price breaks down, creating a strong downtrend. As you understand, a diamond is a reversal figure. In addition to the reversal at the peak, the diamond may appear at the bottom, starting a new bullish trend. The same rules apply for the diamond at the bottom of the trend as for the diamond at the top of the trend. Trading After you have found a diamond on the chart, you should wait for the breakout . The breakout point serves as the entry point. As soon as the price breaks out of the second part of the diamond, you can open a position. The stop loss is usually set above the last maximum, outside the triangle. To calculate the potential profit , you need to measure the height of the diamond - 60-80% of this value will be your goal. You should understand that this is only the first profit goal, since the price very often goes even further, after the diamond. Therefore, at this point, you can use a strategy with closing part of the profit. For conservative traders, there is a second entry point – it will be the price movement for the minimum of a diamond. Also, for such traders, it is possible to set a stop loss beyond the maximum of the diamond. Conclusion The figure is suitable for medium-term traders who hold positions for several days. It is the medium-term diamond that is potentially able to bring big profits. In addition, it is worth remembering a couple of rules: It is not worth trading inside a diamond; And don't forget to set a stop! Be careful and don't miss your diamond!

HEAD AND SHOULDERSThere is probably no more famous figure than the HEAD AND SHOULDERS. Head and shoulders - gives a very profitable signal about the market reversal. Thanks to this figure, you will be able to open a position at the beginning of a new trend. What does it look like? The appearance of the Head and shoulders figure consists of five stages: 1. Uptrend; 2. Left shoulder; 3. Head; 4. Right shoulder; 5. Neck line. First, we need to find an uptrend on which the left shoulder will form. After that, the price makes the last rise, forming a head, after which the fall begins. The right shoulder appears on a downward movement, and the neck line can be drawn after the formation of the right shoulder. How to trade? The entry point is the breaking of the neck line. It is at this moment that the signal of the figure is confirmed. Some traders are in a hurry and open positions at the peak of the right shoulder, which is very dangerous. Always wait for the confirmation of the figure. Don't worry if you missed the first entry point, there is always an opportunity to open a position after the neck line retest. What about setting a stop loss? Stop loss is usually placed above the right shoulder. If the price went above the right shoulder, then the figure did not work, and it's time to exit the deal. Where will the profit target be? To calculate possible targets, the following method is used. It is necessary to measure the distance from the neck line to the maximum of the head, the resulting value is imposed below the penetration of the neck line, after the right shoulder, this will be your goal. Conclusions The Head and shoulders figure can bring you a lot of profit when trading correctly. It is worth noting that there is an inverted head and shoulders figure - and this figure signals a reversal and the imminent beginning of a bullish trend. The rules of trading are the same as when trading Head and shoulders, but only in a different direction. Trade using not only your shoulders, but also your head !

Ascending & Descending Triangle Triangles are very often found on the chart, but not everyone knows how to trade them. Today we will try to learn how to trade triangles correctly. What does it look like? The ascending and descending triangle have two sides: one side is flat and horizontal, the second is inclined and moves towards the first. The ascending triangle has an upper flat horizontal side, and the lower one is inclined. When you see this figure, you have to wait for a bullish movement. The descending triangle is a mirror image of the ascending triangle. With a descending triangle, there is a flat lower line and an upper inclined one, which moves in the direction of a flat one. If you see this pattern, expect a bearish breakout. Opening a position There are three techniques for opening a position: 1. Stop order at the level. 2. Fixing the level. 3. Retest of the triangle trend line. Each method is good in its own way, but the logic is the same everywhere – a breakthrough of a flat line and further movement towards a breakthrough. Therefore, if the price starts moving against the breakout, most likely the figure did not work, and in order not to lose money in such situations, set a stop loss. Stop Loss You need to set a stop loss in a place where it will be clear for sure that the figure did not work. Usually this point is located behind the inclined line of the triangle. Profit taking There are two ways to fix profits: 1. Trailing stop. 2. Graphical projection of the price. The trailing stop is set according to your trading strategy and there shouldn't be many questions if you have a strategy. It is easy to calculate the fixation point from the graphical projection: it is enough to measure the width of the base of the triangle and put the resulting value below the punched flat line – this will be your goal. Conclusion These figures are quite common, so it is important to know how to trade them. Do not forget that nothing works in the market 100% of the time, so set a stop loss. Good luck!!

PATTERNS "BAT" and "CAT".Strange as it may seem, but not only bulls and bears can be found on the market, but also a couple of cats and even a bat! But don't be afraid, these animals have come to help you get rich in the new year. Let's go! The Bat pattern. The bat is a 5-point pattern that can indicate a bullish or bearish breakout. What does it look like? The pattern consists of five points: X is the beginning, from this point the price makes a significant movement; A - here the price unfolds, forming the first vertex; B is a pullback, which can be from 38% to 50% of the X – A movement. C is the price movement, which can range from 38% to 88% of the A – B movement. It is worth noting that C should not go above the point A. D is the price reversal, after movement C. The shortest movement of all other points. At this point we are looking for an entry into the transaction, you can use the Fibonacci lines. The movement from point D can be 88% of the movement of X-A, and can go above point A. Risks The stop loss can be set below the D point, but not below the X point. The CAT JUMP pattern. This pattern is characterized by a strong downward movement and, with proper trading, can bring huge profits. How to find it? The pattern appears in situations of strong movement, usually caused by bad news. The following pattern will be observed on the graph: 1. A sharp drop in price, sometimes with a gap; 2. Rollback to the bottom line of the gap; 3. After which there is a long and strong fall. How to trade? To begin with, you need to find a strong drop with a gap, as correctly accompanied by a strong volume. After that, we are waiting for a pullback to the bottom line of the gap and a reversal – this is where you can enter into a deal. Risks The stop loss is placed above the lower gap line. It is worth noting that from time to time the price may go above the lower gap line. In rare cases, the price reaches the upper level of the gap, and then falls. It is important to note that the fall lasts from one month or more, which is why this pattern is used by long-term traders. Important It is worth recalling that there are alternative patterns: an INVERTED CAT JUMP and a BEARISH BAT PATTERN. Both models work the same way, only in the opposite direction. These figures are very profitable, with proper trading. For example, a fall after a gap and a rollback can be 50% or even 70%, in the CAT JUMP pattern. Whatever pattern you trade, I wish you good luck and a lot of profit in the new year! Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩

THE SECRET METHOD OF ENTERING THE MARKETHello everyone, today I want to share with you one way to enter the market that will help you earn good money. Pulse breakdown level. The price moves by impulses and it is important for every trader to track them. Impulse breakdown levels are considered to be the moments when the price breaks through the resistance. This broken level now becomes a support, to which the price returns again and bounces. It is at this moment that the ideal entry point will be. Stop Loss We must always remember that the price may not go according to the scenario we need, and in order to reduce losses, it is worth setting a stop loss approximately above the previous maximum. The strongest level. When an uptrend changes to a downtrend (or vice versa), the strongest impulse level is formed. It is after the price reversal that the strongest level will be formed, which will most often keep the price from rising and force it to move down. Trading from this level increases the opportunity to earn. This level can also serve as a profit-taking point. Since the level is very strong, when you return to it, you will know that the level is likely to stand, close positions and open from the level down. Result This trading method will significantly increase the number of your profitable trades. From time to time, the price will move from level to level in the same direction all day, giving many entry points. Good luck!

HOW TO TRADE A BREAKDOWNHello everyone. Today we will discuss a very important topic - trading after the breakdown of the level. As it turned out, not everyone knows how to trade correctly in such market situations, so let's start learning. Trend Trend is our friend! Everyone knows this expression, but do not forget that the trend will end sooner or later and the price will go in a different direction. Such situations can potentially be very profitable for a trader. Breakouts happen not only during a trend, but also in accumulation zones. Identification To find an opportunity to trade a level breakdown, you need at least two conditions: 1. There must be a trend or an accumulation zone. 2. You need to wait for the breakdown of the level. How to trade? There are a couple of principles of proper breakdown trading. First, we find a trend movement (or accumulation zone), draw a support/resistance line and wait for the moment when the price breaks through this line. However, one breakthrough is not enough. There are many situations in the market when the price makes a false breakout, so you need to wait for confirmation. After the breakdown of the level, the price should close below the level - this means that the balance of forces has changed in the market, the trend has dried up and now the bears are pushing the market. And only after that we have to wait for the most important condition - repeated testing of the level. Very often, beginners are in a hurry, without waiting for the level to be retested, which leads to large losses. After the breakdown, the price should return to the level again – this is the bulls again trying to rule the market, trying to bring the price back over the level. But the forces are no longer enough and the price, after repeated testing, turns around and follows a bearish scenario. It is after the reversal that it is worth opening a position, since it signals the weakness of the bulls, the market is no longer able to move up. It is worth noting that the price may not always return to the level of the broken level. From time to time, you will observe how a small incoming movement is made in the direction of the level, but there is not enough strength, after which the price reverses without retest. Conclusion This topic is very important, this pattern is very profitable, but without patience and proper entry, you can incur losses. Do not forget to put a stop loss, which is best set above the level. All these rules also work for breaking the bearish trend, only in the opposite direction. Trade wisely, good luck to everyone!

PRINCIPLES OF TRADING FIGURES CUP WITH HANDLEOne of the most popular figures of technical analysis among day traders is a cup with a handle. This figure is so popular due to its fairly clear and specific rules, in addition, the figure gives an excellent risk/profit ratio. How to identify the model? The formation of the model is divided into 4 stages: 1. The price has been rising for some time; 2. After the correction begins to about half of the previous growth – this is how the bottom of the cup is formed; 3. Then the price starts to rise to the previous maximum and turns down, failing to break through the resistance – this is the handle; 4. Then the price goes to break the maximum again, after which it goes even higher, approximately to the height of the cup depth. How long does the model take to form? A cup with a handle is formed from a few weeks to six months – that is why it is suitable for a long-term trader. It is very important to form a handle, which should be completed within a month, otherwise it may mean that the upward movement is weak and there may not be a breakdown. Characteristics of the cup and handle A round cup indicates consolidation, whereas a V-shaped cup indicates a too sharp reversal, which is not good. The depth of the cup should be equal to one-third to one-half of the previous upward growth. The handle should not fall more than one-third of the cup gain. In addition, a short and weak drop in the handle signals that a breakout may be very bullish. How to trade? Entrance The best entry point is the handle. At the moment, the price is falling and forming a downtrend, the trader should enter the transaction when the price breaks through this downtrend. Profit goals To determine the goal, you need to measure the distance from the bottom of the cup to the beginning of the handle – this distance is above the breakdown of the maximum and will be our goal. In addition to the main method of determining the goal, you can use Fibonacci lines – the 100 percent line is considered a conservative goal, and the 162 percent is considered an aggressive one. Stop Loss No matter how well the figure is formed, do not forget about the risks and the fact that the price can turn against you at any moment. Set the stop loss is set below the minimum of the handle, then you will protect yourself from large losses. Conclusions This figure is not in vain so popular, it is very profitable and has clear rules, which makes it easier to work. Be patient, because the figure is formed for several weeks, or even months. Do not go too early, without waiting for the formation of the cup and handle. Premature entry promises losses. Who knows how to wait - gets everything! Good luck!

BEST REVERSAL PATTERNSDuring the existence of the market, a large number of technical analysis figures have been found. They all work with varying degrees of accuracy. Such a large number of patterns can confuse anyone, especially a beginner. Today we will look at just two models that are quite common and, with proper trading, can bring you big profits. Both models are united by one idea – breakouts. Beginning. First, the price goes down, creating new lows below the previous ones and new highs below the previous ones. At some point, the sellers' strength ends and the market turns around almost immediately, or it stops before accelerating upwards. For profitable trading, a trader must learn to catch this moment when the strength of the trend is extinguished and the price is preparing for a reversal. Confirmation. Stopping the previous trend is not a reason to enter a trade, you need to wait for confirmation. Confirmation will be a new maximum, higher than the previous one, after which the price will try to start moving down again, making a pullback down, but there will not be enough forces for further fall and the price goes up. The entry point will be the moment when the price returns to the breakout line, bounces off it and goes up. Stop loss. Very often, such formations will give you a lot of movement and big profits. But do not forget about the stop loss, which can be set below the breakout line (risky, since there may be an earlier close) or below the previous minimum. You can find a lot of trading opportunities on the market every day, but beginners are advised to study a couple of patterns and learn how to trade them correctly. Take your time and luck will definitely find you! Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩

Cloudflare teaching moment. Meteoric rise = catastrophic dump.Hi everyone, Today I would like to share a piece of knowledge on parabolic growth and poor market structures. Let us take a look at NYSE:NET Cloudflare stock. This was an attractive buy back in 2020. As always, nobody saw that until everyone started screaming about this stock on Twitter. I saw an opportunity in investing into Cloudflare later in 2021 for a long-term. I did not know what's coming. At the beginning of October, after a decent sell-off something strange began happening. Stock rose TWELVE days in a row. And not just stayed barely positive, it gained insane 68% in price during this short period. Right there I knew this was not sustainable and price won't last up there for long. Yes, I sold at 175 . Yes, I missed a run up to 220 . But, really, did I? Noone can predict the top. But you can predict the inevitable downfall. The Lesson. Look at the chart. You see the price in the first box going parabolicly up. The price took off to the moon and was hovering up in the air. Thus, poor structure has been created. There is no single support level from 137 to 182 . The Market hates poor weak structures and it tends to repair them sooner or later. That is exactly what happened with Cloudflare stock. Price has been flushed from 204 down to 123 as fast as it flew up there back in October. You can see that in the second box. The structure has been repaired. A lot of data points were created in the process, which will help with the analysis in the future. This might be a rebirth of Cloudflare stock constituting healthy future movement. Trade wisely and good luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer!!! This is not financial advise

BIG SHORT STRUCTUREToday we will consider a frequently occurring formation that can bring you big profits. Beginning It all starts after breaking through the resistance line of the lateral movement. Lateral movement is nothing but the accumulation of force for subsequent takeoff. Upward movement After the breakdown, the price goes up, creating new highs, correcting from time to time. All this continues until the last peak is formed – the head. Head The head is characterized by a large price rise in the beginning, after which there is a sharp drop. The fall is characterized by large volumes that grow until the breakdown of the left shoulder line. Right shoulder. After that, the formation of the right shoulder begins. In this situation, the price may break through the line of the 50-day moving average several times. The ray point of entry. After several breakthroughs of the moving average, the price will make a dash down. The ideal entry point will be the last breakout of the moving average. It is very difficult to determine and enter the position at the ideal point, so you can try to enter after breaking the neck line or a little higher. Conclusion Such situations are common in all markets, giving a huge opportunity to make a profit if everything is done correctly. Sometimes the price can fall even below the sideways movement that started it all. Don't forget about the risks, good luck! ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with Like. Thanks for your support!

METHODS FOR SETTING STOP LOSS. PART 2.We continue to study! Moving Average method When choosing this type of stop loss setting, the moving average indicator is used. The moving averages indicator has long been known in the forex market and many traders use it in their trading, since trading on this indicator is simple and reliable enough. The strategy of setting a stop loss on the moving average indicator is very simple: We need to wait for the price to rebound from the long-term average and put a stop below the indicator line, or above it, if we are talking about a rebound down (short). Fibonacci Levels In addition to the moving average indicator, Fibonacci levels can help you with setting a stop loss. These two methods are somewhat similar and both are quite easy to use. All you have to do is first measure the market phase and wait for the rebound from the Fibonacci levels. After rebounding and opening a position in the appropriate direction, set a stop loss below or above the 78.6 level. The simplicity of these methods lies in clear rules, it is difficult to get confused in them, so these methods are effective. Trailing Stop A trailing stop is a stop loss that follows the price by a certain percentage, points, or dollar amount when the price moves in your direction. Thanks to the trailing stop, the risk will decrease, protecting your profit and preventing a profitable position from turning into a negative one. Usually a trailing stop is set when the price has already moved in the direction we need and in order not to lose profit, we set a trailing stop. But be careful, do not place your stop too close to the price, do not forget about corrections, give the price room to accelerate. High/Low Method This method is most often used by swing traders. The essence of the method is that the stop is placed behind the minimum/maximum of a pre-selected day. In addition, the stop can move if the price shows a new high/low the next day. This method is considered not the best, but it exists, and you should know about it. Be careful when using. Conclusion There are many ways to set stop losses, but which one to choose? As is often the case in trading, you should choose the method that suits you, your character and your strategy. Do not forget that excessive stop-loss setting can lead to premature closing of a position. Frequent repetition of this error can lead to the loss of all capital. Stop loss should not be set at any point you like on the chart, it should be set according to the method and logic of price movement. Do not forget about volatility, which can knock you out of position, and then turn around in the direction you need. In addition, it is not necessary to set the stop loss clearly at the support/resistance level. The price often passes these levels and returns back. Don't forget about it. Setting a stop loss in each position is an important rule. This should become your habit. You should know before opening where you will put your stop loss. Do not forget about the rules, follow them and then you will succeed. Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩

FOREX TRADING SESSIONSThe forex market operates 24 hours from Monday to Friday and is divided into three trading sessions: Tokyo Session ( Asian ) London Session ( European ) New York Session ( American ) Each session has its own characteristics and its own time, in addition, at certain times the sessions overlap each other. Let's take a closer look at the sessions. Asian session. This session is characterized by a small trading volume, compared to other sessions. At this time, there are few major players on the market, so the price may move sideways for a long time. There are many other countries present during the Asian session, such as Russia, China, New Zealand, and Australia. Due to such a large number of countries and different opening hours, it is considered that the Asian session lasts from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m. GMT. This session is suitable for those who do not like sudden movements. The session is characterized by smooth and slow movement, without strong bursts and without unexpected jumps. With the right direction, your stop loss will rarely be affected by market noise. European session. The London session is the most important. Most of the financial world turns on at this time. This trading session is considered the largest in terms of trade volume, accounting for 34% of trade. In addition to London, other major markets participate in the European session – the markets of Germany and France, because of this, it is considered that the working time of the European session starts from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. GMT. Large trading volumes are due to the fact that three sessions intersect at this time: the Asian one, which will close soon, the American one, which is about to open, and the European one itself. This session is suitable for people who are not afraid of big movements and huge volatility. At this time, the market is as active as possible, there are many opportunities to earn, but do not forget about the risks, strong price movements can deprive you of all the capital in an instant. At this time, there is a frequent knocking out of stop-losses of retail players, after which the price often accelerates in the opposite direction. American session. At this point in time, New York is included, with a market share of 16%, the second largest trading market. The American and European sessions overlap each other, creating a large amount of liquidity. The US dollar and the Pound are the most traded currencies, occupying a huge part of all transactions on the market, because of this, volumes are increasing. At this time, important economic news often comes out, which adds strength to currency movements. New York opens at 1:00 pm and runs until 10:00 pm. What time is considered the most active? The most active moments in the market are the moments when two sessions overlap each other: New York and London: from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Sydney and Tokyo: from 12:00 am to 7:00 am London and Tokyo: 8:00 am to 9:00 am When two sessions overlap, it is profitable to trade the main currencies of these sessions. For example, trading in EUR/USD, GBP/USD currency pairs will give good results when the European and American sessions intersect from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Conclusion Markets can move very fast, making big jumps, knocking out your stop losses, on the other hand, there may be a market situation in which the market moves very slowly and if you don't know how to wait, you won't be able to earn in such situations. Choosing the right time that suits your style is an important component of a trader's work.

METHODS FOR SETTING STOP LOSS. PART 1.The market is volatile and very unpredictable, it is impossible to constantly correctly guess the future direction of the market, and in order not to lose everything in one transaction, a stop loss was invented. Stop loss, like the trend, is our friend. Without a stop-loss strategy, there can be no profitable trading strategy. The ability to correctly find the stop loss zones will help each trader to avoid unnecessary losses and not to exit the position ahead of time. Let's look at these strategies. Methods for setting Stop Loss PERCENTAGE METHOD The interest method is a method in which the stop will be equal to a percentage of the capital, depending on your risk management. At the same time, a large number of professionals recommend not to risk 1-2% of the capital in one transaction. And this method is very popular because of its simplicity and ease of calculations. For example, if your capital is $ 10,000, and the risk management in each transaction is 1%, then the stop loss will be $ 100, everything is very simple. CHART STOP This method is based on placing a stop loss behind the support and resistance levels. After several bounces from the levels, you can set a stop loss above the resistance or below the support, because if the price breaks through these levels, then potentially the deal can go strongly against you. Such levels will be our protection, because it will be very difficult for the price to break through strong levels, but even if there is a breakout, we will be protected by a stop loss. TIME STOP Another method of setting a stop loss is a method based on time parameters. This method will be of interest to those who do not want to leave their deals overnight or want deals to close at the end of the week and not remain open on weekends. Everyone knows about the uncertainty that arises on weekends. At this time, it is impossible to close a position, and the news can be dangerous and you can suffer big losses at the opening of a new trading week, in order to avoid all this, this method was invented. VOLATILITY STOP Each currency pair has its own volatility value. Some couples walk fast and a lot, some walk less. If a trader knows the average daily range of a particular pair, then he can set his stop loss slightly above this value so that the position is not closed prematurely due to market noise. For example, if we imagine that GBP/USD has an average daily movement range of 100 points, then setting a stop loss by 20 points is likely to lead to premature closing of the position. But, if a trader puts a stop above the daily range, you can thereby protect yourself from accidental price spikes. This method forces you to place large stop-losses, thereby giving you space to work so that the price is not closed prematurely. Conclusion Setting a stop loss is a vital condition for any trading strategy. Without a stop loss, you will inevitably lose capital. In the next part, we will look at other methods of setting a stop loss. Good luck to everyone! Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments.

TYPES OF TRADING STRATEGIESHello to all! Throughout the history of the forex market, several types of strategies related to the trading interval have been invented. Strategies have differences in the time of holding a position, and each trader must choose the type of strategy that suits him. SCALPING Scalping is a well-known style of short-term trading, using technical analysis. Scalpers, as a rule, enter into impulse movement, on breaking through levels or rebounding from them, in areas where large volumes of orders have accumulated, and close positions immediately after the end of the first impulse. They do not sit out in a position and do not hold it for a long time. Positions are usually closed within a minute. Scalpers use tick or minute charts for analysis. Impulse movements can be born during the period of news release, so the trader should follow the news. Since scalpers take a small number of pips, their profit also depends heavily on the spread, so they trade liquid pairs. Day Trading Day traders open and close positions within the day. They do not transfer transactions to the next day. 5- 30 minute charts are used for analysis. Day trading differs from scalping by holding a position for a longer time, up to several hours, if the trend allows. Day traders profit only from intraday fluctuations, so they can afford to use higher leverage levels than long-term traders. SWING TRADING Swing trading is a method of trading with holding a position from several hours to several days, that is, positions can be left overnight. Swing traders use hourly and higher charts to analyze the chart. Much attention is paid to trading formations and levels, indicators are used. Swing traders can profit from both trends and corrections, because the profitability may be higher than that of trend traders. NEWS TRADING Such traders pay attention to the news more than anyone else. The opening of a position is made during the release of important news that can push the market against the trend or, conversely, disperse it. As a rule, such traders do not leave their positions overnight. The idea is that during the release of important news, market volatility increases and it is here that traders who trade on the news earn. They wait for this liquidity, open positions before the news comes out and hold them under any circumstances. TRADING ON TREND Trend trading is a very well-known type of trading and perhaps the most profitable. Everyone remembers the rule: Trend is our friend. And this friend can bring big profits, without serious emotional burden. This type of long-term trading implies the ability to identify a trend with the help of technical analysis and opening positions in the direction of the trend. The main indicator for trend traders is the trend itself, so holding a position can be from several days to several months until the trend stops. Often, in order not to lose profit, a treling stop is used. To analyze charts, traders of this type use daily and weekly charts. They often use long-term models and resort to using fundamental analysis to open and hold positions. The spread does not bother them, as positions are opened for a long time, so trend traders can afford to trade illiquid pairs. Conclusion It is not enough to know what types of trading strategies there are, it is very important that the strategy suits you. Maybe you like to take profits quickly and leave the market? Or do you like to hold positions for a long time and you don't like to follow sharp short-term price fluctuations? Every trader should understand himself first, and only then choose a strategy.

CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS on FOREXHello everybody! Professionals have been aware of correlation for a long time and use it profitably. The essence of correlation is not difficult to understand and using it in trading can significantly increase your profit. Correlation coefficient of currency pairs – what is it? Correlation is a statistical relationship between two or more random variables. The correlation coefficient is an index of the interdependence of quotations of different currency pairs. Correlation of currency pairs is divided into two types: direct (positive) and inverse (mirror or negative). A positive correlation is a similar movement of quotations of different currency pairs. Inverse correlation is the reverse movement of the exchange rate of different currency pairs. For example , EUR/USD and USD/CHF are in a mirror correlation because both European currencies are against the dollar. Any change in the euro affects the franc exchange rate and vice versa, on the chart, the price of the euro and the pound moves the other way around because in the EUR/USD pair, the dollar is in second place, and in USD/CHF in the first. Method Analysts have come up with a method that makes it easier to understand the correlation, it is called the correlation coefficient. Using it, you can understand in which range each pair is relative to the other, where +1 is a complete correlation, and -1 is the opposite. The stronger the link between the economies, the stronger the value tends to unity. Let's consider the main ranges of coefficient values and their impact on the currency pair: • 1 - Denotes the same movement of currency pairs. * From 0.9 to 0.5 – High dependence of currency pairs among themselves. * From 0.5 to 0.1 – There is a decrease in correlation. * 0 – There is no correlation, the instruments do not depend on each other. * From 0.1 to -0.5 - Characterized by a decrease in correlation. * From 0.5 to -0.9 – An increase in correlation and a change in the direction of movement of currency pairs in the opposite direction. * -1 – Inverse dependence of currency pairs. One price is going down, the other is going up. Trading options Novice traders often think that they reduce risks when they invest in different currency pairs, but at the same time they do not understand that a large number of pairs correlate with each other. Forgetting about the correlation, you can start getting double losses. Correlations can be used to confirm signals. For example , the analysis of the EUR/USD chart showed growth. To make sure that the forecast is correct, you need to get a reverse confirmation for USD/CHF. Sometimes, to confirm trading signals, a comparison of three assets that are minimally related to each other is used. Take for example EUR/USD, USD/JPY and EUR/JPY. • If EUR/USD is predicted to go up, then the forecast for the reverse currency pair USD/JPY should signal a fall. In the event that there is no signal for USD/JPY, then it is necessary to carefully study the behavior of EUR/JPY. No matter what tactics a trader uses, you always need to remember about correlation and use several pairs with positive and negative correlation in the analysis to increase the accuracy of the forecast. In addition, correlation helps to hedge transactions. Having decided to invest in one currency pair, you can divide the investment amount into two parts and invest the second part in a currency pair with Time interval in correlation analysis The correlation has the ability to change depending on time. It may be that the daily correlation = 0.6, but when switching to a monthly interval, this value increases and shows a strong correlation. There may be an inverse situation, when the correlation drops relative to the selected interval. Pay attention to this when analyzing.
