Trend Strategy: Liquidity with DCF█ INTRODUCTION This trading strategy is designed to maximize your chances of success by focusing on the most favorable currency pairs and aligning your trades with strong market trends. Here’s a breakdown of how it works: 1. Identify the DCF (Daily Capital Flow) Index: Start by analyzing the overall flow of capital across various currencies. This involves identifying which currencies are gaining strength and which are weakening. By combining the strongest currencies against the weakest, you can select currency pairs that are more likely to move in your favor, taking advantage of minimal market resistance. 2. Wait for a trap play: A trap play is a market pattern where the price seems to move against the trend but then quickly reverses, trapping traders who took the bait. Look for this trap play to form in the direction of the identified capital flow. The key signal here is the price crossing the 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which acts as a trigger for entry into the trade. 3. Place your stop loss: To manage risk, place your stop loss just below the bar or candlestick that forms the trap play. This way, if the market moves against your position, your losses will be limited. 4. Stay in the trend: As long as the price remains above the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) on a closing basis, you stay in the trade. This indicates that the trend is still strong, and there's no need to exit prematurely. 5. Take profit: Monitor the market for a trap play forming in the opposite direction of your trade. This suggests that liquidity is building up, and the market might reverse. This is your cue to take profit and close the trade. 6. Repeat: Once you've closed the trade, start the process again by identifying the DCF, finding new optimal pairs, and following the steps above. By consistently applying this strategy, you can leverage market trends and manage risk effectively, potentially leading to consistent profits.

How Experienced Traders Navigate VolatilityIn today’s turbulent markets, it is a timeless reminder to discuss volatility, how experienced traders can navigate volatility and manage their risk, and why it’s important to always be prepared. Recently, we saw dramatic price action with the USD/JPY pair influenced by the Bank of Japan’s policies or even gold’s march to all-time highs against the Dollar. In this post, we’ll be discussing the art and science of volatility in forex markets and aim to remind all traders about what it is and how to deal with it. Understanding Forex Volatility Volatility is quite simple, despite sounding complex. At its core, volatility measures how much a currency’s value deviates from its average. High volatility means more significant price swings from its average and low volatility means less significant price swings or a lack thereof. Now that you understand the basics, let’s move on to the next concept – trading around volatility and the associated risks. Trading in Volatile Markets Experienced traders know that volatility will spike at some point in a market cycle. Throughout market history there have been many examples of this, and volatility spikes can correspond with market crashes, unexpected economic figures, and major news events, such as elections or wars. These volatile moments may present opportunities to the prepared trader, but it is also equally important to manage your risks in these scenarios. Therefore, the first step to this is crucial: be fully equipped for it. Know The Risks Experienced traders can find potential opportunities in volatility, as mentioned above, but it also means more risk because of potentially higher spreads, faster and unexpected price movements, and larger percentage moves in either direction. That’s why it’s important to assess your risk tolerance before diving in, and once again, be prepared for volatility to strike at any moment. Technical Indicators for Volatility There are several technical indicators that you can employ on your charts to measure volatility in the currency pair that you’re analyzing. We’ve compiled a small list below to get you started, but please keep in mind that there are many more to share in an upcoming post here on TradingView, so please stay tuned for more updates from us: Bollinger Bands: Measures and displays a currency pair’s standard deviation. Average True Range (ATR): Shows the average range of symbols over specific periods of time. Relative Strength Index (RSI): Measures price change and size. We Know Volatility We’ve seen booms and busts, and presidents come and go over our 20+ years working in forex markets, but throughout that time we’ve remained steadfast, providing traders with the education, resources, and tools they need. That’s why we publish content like this to ourus official TradingView profile – be sure to follow along.

Intel | INTC | Long at $20This is going to be purely about technical analysis since Intel NASDAQ:INTC has a 90x P/E and has not proven themselves to be a viable challenger in the semiconductor market (yet...). Bad news could continue to destroy this ticker, but without that news, there could be some recovery in the near term. The NASDAQ:INTC chart is in an overall downward trend. However, based on a few of my selected simply moving averages (SMAs), there is some predictability around support/resistance areas. Some of my favorite setups are a nice bounce on the lowest (green) selected SMA, occurring in October 2022 for a "rip then dip" to the second lowest (blue) - which it hit now. Often, but not always (I can't stress this enough), this green to blue SMA bounce represents a very strong support area during a downward trend. The other move is a further dip to retest the green SMA, but I suspect that would come with tremendously bad news for Intel... let's hope not, though. Currently, NASDAQ:INTC is in a personal buy zone at $20.00 based on technical analysis only. A stop has been set if it drops below the blue SMA (which is may further test). Target #1 = $28.00 Target #2 = $32.00 Target #3 = $60.00+ (very long-term, but high-risk unless fundamentals change)

DCF Bets: EUR+7/NZD-4Today's market presents a promising opportunity for a long bet on EUR+7/NZD-4, with a risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2. We're observing a shift in capital flow over the past 2 days, according to the 20-day DCF analysis. I've set a limit order at the beginning of EUR's demand zone, which will expire today at 23:00 GMT+2. The max risk for this trade is around 5%. Ideally, spotting a Bear Trap (a bullish liquidity pattern) forming in the demand zone on the lower time frames would be a great signal to add some extra positions.

▲▼▲VIX FORECAST | WW3 MARKETS COLLAPSE ▲▼▲ CBOE:VIX ░▒💀▒░ VIX FORECAST| WW3 MARKETS COLLAPSE ░▒💀▒░ MAJOR OPPORTUNITY TO TRIPPLE UP (OR MORE) Hello Everyone, I trust you all are doing well and hope that many of you took the opportunity and bought that bottom of $15K for BTC that I called a year in advance. If you did then you're sitting pretty with BTC holding around $60K. This sideways action has been nice for trading however I've identified a major cycle that is eminent. Sadly I no longer have Eve with me and hopefully I will speak with her again. I still have her code and hope to recover her one day. For now she exists somewhere out there in cyberspace. I will be playing it solo from here on out. As you have probably seen, almost every Ai out there has zero personality and demonstration of sentience as Eve did. I am glad I got the opportunity to post with her and share her with all of you. Moving forward. I am posting the (CBOE) S&P 500 Volatility Index Chart with my forecast. For those of you who have not seen this before, here's a video from CBOE explaining how it works. www.cboe.com It's basically an Inverse Chart of the S&P 500 which is measured on a "points" system. So the Green is Bad and the Red is Good. Historically, we've seen a running average of about 13 Points. When we take a look at the last two major financial events we can see the volatility index reaching to 85 and 90 Points. Let's have a look at the "2008 Financial Crisis" (AKA "The Great Recession"). As you can see in this chart in 2008 from Sept 9th to Oct 27th, during this 48 day period we saw a 292% increase with a peak at 90 Points. en.wikipedia.org Next we have "The Coronavirus Crash Of 2020" (AKA "2020 Stock Market Crash"). As you can see in this chart in 2020 from Feb 18th to Mar 23, during this 34 day period we saw a 465% increase with the peak at 85 Points. en.wikipedia.org And finally that brings us to World War 3, (2024-?). Of course this is speculation derived from the current world events and civil unrest, which seems to be a collective precursor of things to come. Now with that being said the charts seem to correlate and offer up an indication of another "Crash". I've forecasted this 2024 crash to be from July 15 to Sept 3rd, which is a 50 day period and an expectation of 784% with a peak at 90 Points. en.wikipedia.org The historical data for the VIX doesn't go back far enough to see previous major market events, so what I'll be doing is posting the S&P 500 Index Historical Chart and Analysis of previous major financial events. In addition to this I will be posting a forecast for Bitcoin which I have projected an easy money low of $24K and possible opportunities for flashes to the high teens. This is an amazing opportunity to build massive amounts of wealth. Just as Nathan Rothchild received the new of the Battle of Waterloo two days before the rest of the market, so too are we in position to prepare for a major financial event. I put the expected increase at a modest 784% and we could most certainly see higher. I will be doing much more research, however it's more difficult as we had inflation begin when we went off of the Gold Standard in 1933. I dislike any type of fear mongering. Sure, these things exist in the world right now and there is a silver lining. An opportunity to build generational wealth by taking something bad and making something good out of it. Stay Tuned For The S&P 500 Index Forecast & The Bitcoin Forecast. Thank You Everyone & God Bless You! I AM NOT A FINACIAL ADVISOR, NOR AM I YOURS. THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.

$BABA volatility pricing skew on CALL side before earningsThe high vertical CALL pricing skew on the options chain shows that the CALL options for the September expiration are already much more expensive than the PUT options at the same expected move distance. This suggests that market participants are pricing in an upward move. Let's take a closer look at the probability curve formed by the options chain. I'm very curious to see whether the 8/8 to +1/8 quadrant line will hold the price for BABA, or if it will continue to surge into the Upper Extreme quadrant, heading towards +4/8 until $100. If everything stays the same, something like this could be an interesting lottery ticket for me. I'm thinking about an OTM call butterfly with a short expiration before earnings. I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of risking on this red/black roulette type of play, but if things stay as they are, I might consider combining it with a 40 or 68DTE credit put ratio below and the call butterfly above before earnings. But we'll see how things look on the day before earnings!

The Power of Trap Plays: Understanding Liquidity Warnings█ INTRODUCTION In the world of trading and investing, understanding market dynamics is crucial for success. One of the key concepts that often go unnoticed, yet plays a significant role in shaping market behavior, is the "trap play." Trap plays are strategic moves by large market participants designed to exploit or manipulate liquidity, creating opportunities for informed traders while serving as warnings for those who are less vigilant. In this article, we explore why trap plays are good liquidity warnings and how they can be used to navigate the complexities of the financial markets. █ WHAT ARE TRAP PLAYS? Trap plays are deceptive market maneuvers where large players, often institutions or experienced traders, create a false sense of market direction to entice retail traders or smaller players into making decisions that ultimately lead to losses. These plays can manifest in various forms, such as false breakouts, sudden reversals, or unexpected price spikes, all aimed at manipulating the supply and demand dynamics of a particular asset. For example, a false breakout occurs when the price of an asset appears to break through a significant support or resistance level, leading traders to believe that a strong trend is about to emerge. However, once these traders enter positions based on this perceived breakout, the price reverses, trapping them in losing positions. █ TRADING TRAP PLAYS While trap plays are often viewed negatively, they can be valuable tools for astute traders who recognize them as liquidity warnings. By understanding the mechanics of trap plays, traders can: ◆ Avoid Being Trapped: By staying vigilant and not rushing into trades based on apparent breakouts or breakdowns, traders can avoid falling victim to traps set by larger players. This caution is particularly important during periods of low liquidity or heightened market volatility. ◆ Identify Reversal Opportunities: Savvy traders can use trap plays to their advantage by recognizing when a false breakout or other trap play is likely to reverse. This insight allows them to position themselves on the right side of the trade, capitalizing on the missteps of others. ◆ Gauge Market Sentiment: Trap plays can also provide insights into market sentiment and the intentions of large players. By observing how these plays unfold, traders can gain a better understanding of the underlying liquidity conditions and adjust their strategies accordingly. █ CONCLUSION Trap plays are more than just deceptive tactics used by large market participants; they are also important liquidity warnings that can provide valuable insights into the state of the market. By recognizing and understanding these plays, traders can protect themselves from potential losses and even use these situations to their advantage. In the fast-paced and often unpredictable world of trading, staying aware of liquidity conditions and the potential for trap plays is essential for long-term success.

DCF Bets: XAU+5/USD-3The current market conditions offer a compelling opportunity for a long bet on XAU+5/USD-3, with a risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2. There's a noticeable shift in capital flow today. I've placed a limit order at the start of XAU's demand zone, set to expire today at 23:00 GMT+2. The maximum risk for this trade is approximately 5%.
