This new cycle could be a consolidation, the price can drop to 14,6% or 23,6% level. Or even in the middle between 38,2% and 23,6%, where other wicks has already touched, creating a support, where can also occur the last candle of Wave 4.

PLATINUM — Major Wave Up Can Start SoonWhile the dollar is rapidly losing its value and all other markets are going crazy, platinum, a wonderful precious metal with unique properties, one of the rarest elements on Earth, is still trading at 2004-2005 price levels. Is it a good buying opportunity right now? Let's see. The move from 1998 to 2008 is clearly a major impulse wave. Judging from gold's perspective it can actually be a wave III, but I'll label it as I for now as it doesn't matter at the moment. Here's a price history chart starting at the end of the 19th century if you want to see the big picture: sdbullion.com . The period from 2008 to 2020 is an ABC correction and the COVID crash was the end of the macro corrective wave touching price levels between 0.618 and 0.786 retracements from 2008 highs. Monthly candle close was just above 0.618 in fact. EDIT: forgot to include fibs, see here: The next move in 2021 looks like a typical wave 1 and can be the first subwave of the next higher degree wave. A wave 2 correction then followed and price action confirmed support at the $900 zone. Which means the next wave up can be just around the corner! Platinum is also hugely underpriced when compared to gold and the GOLD/PLATINUM ratio is showing bearish signs as I discussed in this idea: And with prices still so low considering inflation it is likely that downside potential for platinum is quite limited. This all makes platinum a low-risk investment and in my opinion it's a good idea to dedicate some portion of capital to this great metal. One way to get exposure is to buy ETFs like PPLT and PLTM. These are not very liquid instruments and not very suitable for short-term trading but will work for longer term investments. If you want some additional confirmation, you can wait for breakout of this trend line:

Coping Strategies for Dealing with Losing TradesIn trading, one of the greatest challenges isn't just the technical analysis, financial expertise, or market knowledge—it's psychology. Loss aversion, a well-known concept in behavioral economics, can distort decision-making and lead to poor trading outcomes. This psychological bias, where the pain of losses or being wrong weighs more heavily than the joy of equivalent gains, can lead traders to hold onto losing trades longer than necessary, refuse to cut losses or execute damage control, or even double down in an attempt to recover. 1️⃣ Understanding Loss Aversion as a Bias The first step to overcoming loss aversion is recognizing it as a psychological bias. Loss aversion is the tendency to fear losses more than we value equivalent gains. Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky’s prospect theory demonstrated this powerful force, where losses impact our emotional state more than potential rewards. For traders, this means the agony of a $100 loss feels much worse than the thrill of a $100 gain. I always remind myself that this bias isn't about market logic—it's about human emotion. Knowing that loss aversion clouds judgment helps me avoid irrational decisions, such as holding onto a bad trade with the hope of recovery. It’s not about ignoring the emotional side of trading but recognizing it as part of the process. 2️⃣ Set Pre-Defined Risk Limits One of the most effective ways to handle loss aversion is through setting pre-defined risk limits. Before entering any trade, I always determine the maximum amount I’m willing to sustain in drawdown. By setting these boundaries in advance, it ensures that I don’t make emotional decisions once I’m in the heat of a trade. Knowing the exact risk exposure before entering a position helps balance rational decision-making and prevents the emotional spiral of “hoping” the market will turn. 3️⃣ Reframe Losses as Learning Experiences Reframing is a mental strategy that can turn loss aversion into an advantage. Instead of focusing purely on the financial loss, I always saw closing out of the money positions as learning opportunities. Each close provided valuable insight into my damage control strategy, market conditions, or my own psychology. For example, when I went through a very rough damage control cycle early in my career, instead of simply being discouraged, I asked myself: What could I have done better? Was I trading against the market trend? Was I over trading? By reframing, I’m able to evaluate mistakes constructively rather than emotionally, making me a better trader in the long run. 4️⃣ Focus on Long-Term Performance, Not Single Trades Loss aversion often arises when traders zoom in on individual trades rather than seeing their performance over time. The reality is that not every trade will be profitable when using stop losses, and accepting this fact is crucial. You should aim to focus on your long-term performance and overall risk management instead of dwelling on short-term losses. For instance, I’ve had days when nothing seemed to go right, with nothing moving in my prefered direction. However, by taking a step back and reviewing my entire portfolio over a period of months, I was able to see a consistent upward trend, even with occasional lulls. This long-term view shifts my mindset from obsessing over individual positions to managing an overall edge-based winning strategy. 5️⃣ Use a Journaling Process to Document Emotional Reactions Keeping a trading journal has been one of my most effective tools for managing the psychological challenges of trading, especially at the beiginning of my journey. In this journal, I didn't just record the technical details of each trade; I also document my emotions. Did I feel fear, anxiety, or frustration during the trade? Did I act out of emotion rather than analysis? Reflecting on these emotional reactions helped me pinpoint when and how loss aversion influenced my decisions. Over time, I’ve been able to identify patterns, such as when I’m more prone to emotional decisions. Acknowledging these triggers helped me manage them more effectively, improving both my emotional regulation and trading performance. 6️⃣ Develop a “Letting Go” Mindset One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn as a trader is how to let go of a bad trade. Loss aversion makes us want to “win” back what we lost, but in the world of trading, this mindset can lead to even more devastating losses. Instead of letting the emotional toll of the setback dictate my next move, I practiced the art of detachment. One strategy I use is to treat each trade as an isolated event. Whether the outcome is positive or less desirable, it’s essential to accept it and move on without carrying the emotional baggage into the next trade. This doesn’t mean ignoring my losses or drawdown but instead recognizing them as part of the journey and not defining my success as a trader. Letting go allows me to maintain a clear head and stick to my trading plan without being swayed by emotions. 7️⃣ Diversify Your Portfolio to Spread Risk A diversified portfolio is a great way to mitigate the emotional impact of loss aversion. By spreading investments across different asset classes—such as forex, commodities, and indices—I can minimize the potential for any single trade or market to ruin my portfolio. For example, in the recent market turmoil, having exposure to multiple currencies and commodities helped balance drawdown in one area with gains in another. This diversification ensures that my overall risk exposure is lower, reducing the psychological pressure of individual losses. It allows me to approach each trade with a more objective mindset, as the stakes of any single position are less impactful on my overall financial well-being. The psychology of loss aversion can be a significant hurdle for traders, but by employing these strategies, it’s possible to mitigate its effects and make better, more rational decisions. Losses and drawdown are part of trading, but how we respond to them is what separates successful traders from the rest.

XPTUSD: Bullish Bias with a 62% Probability of TP SuccessThe platinum market is showing promising signs for bullish traders. Several key fundamentals are aligning with a positive outlook for platinum prices: 1. Industrial Demand: As the global economy continues to recover, the demand for platinum in various industries, including automotive catalytic converters and electronics, is expected to increase. 2. Green Energy Push: The growing focus on clean energy solutions, particularly hydrogen fuel cells, could boost platinum demand as it's a crucial component in these technologies. 3. Supply Constraints: Recent production issues in major platinum-producing countries may lead to tighter supply, potentially supporting higher prices. 4. Investment Appeal: With ongoing economic uncertainties, platinum's status as a precious metal makes it an attractive alternative investment option. Given these bullish factors, I'm looking to enter long positions in XPTUSD. However, rather than rushing in, I'll be using probability-based strategies to time my entries. Let’s dive into the charts and analyze the best entry points for this trade! 3M: 2W: 12H: Feel free to let me know if you need any further changes or additions!
