The arrows show when the market breaks bullish structure. The idea is to get in on the last up candle before the down move to then take price down lower. This set-up has been playing out beautifully as of late.
The goal was to see a move up into the 14400 area to then see what would happen. When marking up weekly highs and weekly lows, you get a better sense on what the market wants to target. In this case, it targeted the high one last time before aggressively going for the weekly low. It didn't quite reach the weekly low during the week's trading session but as soon as...
The idea at the beginning of the week was to see the DXY make a bullish move to then return lower and take out the equal lows. Price action did just that by taking out the lows and immediately reacting causing a slight move back up
*PARDON MY KEYBOARD. SOME LETTERS ARE BROKEN. In this example, the market had shown the previous week it was bearish because of the break of structure on the 4hr time frame. Understanding this, we should automatically look for bearish set-ups for the following week. The week opens and immediately we should be identifying any institutional candles or imbalances...
NASDAQ DIVERGENCE WITH AMAZON CREATED A PERFECT SHORTING OPPORTUNITY FOR AMAZON
HINDSIGHT(Entry would've been 50% of the imbalance that was left open
Imbalance in the market is when one side of the price is strong while the other side is lacking. For instance, in the USDCAD example the sell side was much stronger than the buy side. This causes an influx of sell orders coming into the market and not enough of buy orders. When there is much more money flowing in on the sell side, it will cause very fast movements...
Planned this setup months ago seeing the 4hr candle was still open. Missed my entry and eventually hit every single one of my targets
In order to enhance your plays when it comes to options(stocks), it will help to compare the stock to its relative index it is in. This was a stock I happened to come across just doing some random backtesting and saw a nice 4hr candle that could potentially cause a reaction for more upside. I forgot about it and came back about 2weeks later and saw my area was...
This trade is still active. I was in on the 1HR time frame but was stopped out at breakeven. I then played it again on the 5 min timeframe. You'll notice how the market needs to create liqiuidity to move back and forth. When I got in on the 5 min time frame, you'll notice the market created equal lows and there was one more spike down to my entry before finally...
BTCUSD mark-up that happened over the weekend. The overall target was not achieved, but the first target was reached as there were equal lows located within reach that it was reaching for.
AUDUSD VS NZDUSD DIVERGENCE PLAY. If you're looking for buys, you want to buy the stronger pair and vice versa if you're selling
Planned two sell ideas for XRP over the weekend. The first one traded into the direction I was looking for but did not go all the way. I marked the second one up immediately after planning the first because that was another place I thought we could get a reaction. I was not too sure that the original point of interest with the 15 min candle would hold all the way...
With the talk about Bitcoin for the past couple of weeks, I decided to go take a look at it. Trading against the trend can be difficult without the right expectations. I saw we slowed down a little bit and started ranging. We broke structure on the 1HR time frame which signaled there could be some weakness that could be coming into the market. With the area I had...
