"G" did "U" see that?Gee, golly, did you see how long it took for this trade PEPPERSTONE:GBPUSD to exit drawdown. It was only this morning after a long week of drawdown, and a even longer weekend of backtesting, the results are in! We set our stop loss, and allow the market to work. I have officially earned my very first $100 ever on the markets. According to my trading journal, my account is now up 58.24% in the month of April. Although trading this pair was not the smartest decision of mine. Learning how to trade has been the best decision I have ever made. Once I started taking this seriously, I am starting to witness the small results start to show: from learning price action, risk management, and fundamental analysis. There are so many elements into a being a professional day trader, and I am here for it. The biggest lesson I learned from this trade, was not to be emotional in the drawdown. If I cannot afford to lose $100, I cannot handle earning $100. A second lesson I have learned is how to simply read candlestick patterns. Third and final lesson of the day, was how to identify a divergence, these lessons, are exactly WHY I entered, and held the trade as long as I did, but from now on, I will stick to my trading plan, get in, and get out! In conclusion, I'd like to share my trading journal entry.. DID I FOLLOW MY PLAN? Yes. I exercised my 5 step trading strategy. WHAT DID I DO WELL? 1. Set My Stop Loss (Take Profits) in profit. 2. Traded the pair in a new session. 3. Exercised good risk management, by setting a stop loss. WHAT CAN I DO BETTER? 1. Allow price to test my zone before I enter a trade. 2.Cut My Losses Short Early 3. Stick to trading in my selected session! (London) WHAT DID I LEARN? 1. Cut My Losses Short Early In The Future. 2. Patience and Virtue 3. How To identify a divergence. DID I PREPARE PROPERLY? NO, I entered a trade with a high lot size without reading fundamental analysis on the pair first. I also did not set my price, and wait for a confirmation.

Moving into Weekend 🏖️ Weekly Candle Pulling back As mentioned in yesterdays publishing, we were anticipating dollar strength moving into NFP. The market structure was a bit awkward moving into NFP with price consolidating testing to see if it could hold 1.0918 as support. We punched through back to 1.089 with NFP data. Took advantage of these intuitions for the better then consequently ran into risk management issues. Nonetheless we have seen great sell opportunities these past 2 days to end the week and I'm not surprised. Moving into the weekend I think the weekly candle can cointinue to pullback and potentially gap down as we open next week. I've been talking about 1.0918 frequently as it will act as our Fakeout level on 4Hr Timeframe if we are right. If we are wrong, will range and ultimately like the bulls to do a solid break and retest above and beyond 1.0918. Have a good weekend.

📊Market Structure Breakdowns Pt.1Not every pattern or indicator is a confirmation that you should enter a trade. Understanding the market structure is key and in these series we will explain how to read a Bullish and Bearish market structure formation with multiple indicators/strategies and what you should look for before entering a trade. The markets are either trending up or down until they experience a reversal in the opposite direction. Do not fight the trend, trade alongside with it's direction until a confirmation of reversal. It is not about being right, it is about trading on the correct side of the trend. 📈Bullish Market Structure A bullish market structure is characterized by a series of higher highs and higher lows, indicating that buyers are in control and there is a strong demand in the market with a strong upward momentum. Connecting the swing lows and swing highs will be a clear indicator of bulls pushing the price higher on each level and flipping the previous resistance into a support zone. A good way to trade a chart pattern such as a falling wedge, is to wait for the price to reach around the zone of support. That will indicate the end of the pattern and will give the best possible entry. To have confirmation of this, make sure that you are looking at the volume. When the end of the the falling wedge approachses the previous resistance turned-into-support, you should see volume coming inside the market to push the price higher. One key thing you must understand is that when resistance lines are crossed, they become new support and the cycle repeats until the trend break. 📉Bearish Market Structure A bearish market structure in the other hand, has a series of lower higher and lower lows, indicating that the sellers are in control and there is a strong downward momentum in the market. In this case, we will be looking for short opportunities. The same confirmation of a short is the selling pressure that can be characterized by negative delta volume. To confirm a trend line as true, it should have at least 3 touches where the price rejected from back into a support zone. The market structure is not symmetrical, with perfect patterns that completely respect each and every line you draw. Most patterns and indicators look asymmetrical and have a skewness and you should adapt to it. The big players are waiting for you to place your stop loss right above your trend line or pattern then push the price right above it so you close your position and they get their orders filled to push the prices lower. Stop hunting is one of the most important things you need to understand, until the market makes a Higher High of an important level, the market has not changed structure and it's still trending downwards. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

BTC LONG POSI'm just a beginner in trading with main concepts of ICT in crypto market. As you can see we are having a inverse head and shoulder pattern which signals us for a long position. We expect to have a market structure break so that we can enter position on the red line. We can enter on retracement after the msb. For now let’s wait for the candles to materialize. We are targeting HKEX:29300 liquidity sweep which has a weak buy side liquidity. We can assume that HKEX:29500 is the max targe. But again let’s wait for the confirmation of msb.

Possible Reversal On GBPUSDHello folks, what do you think about GBPUSD? I am anticipating price to dig down heavily after the pullback (area of value) is complete. My analysis is based on two tfm: D1 and the 4hr tfm. * Open your chart on the D1 tfm, most recent candle went all the way up to our main area of value (Supply zone) and got rejected forming a clear pinbar candle pattern which give a reversal signal. * Same or similar pinbar candle pattern happen on the 4hr tfm. * On the 4hr chart, there a breakout on our trendline, and now we are only wait8ng patiently on a pullback and sell the market. Again, I can only trust my analysis, but one thing for sure... trading is a probability game and the market can do anything it like. Much love

BTC - Different Perspectives 🏹Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. 📌 on Daily: Left Chart BTC is currently bullish trading inside the red rising broadening wedge pattern. Here is why the 30,000 is a strong rejection: 1- Round number => 30,000 2- Classic Support Zone Turned Resistance from Weekly timeframe 3- Supply zone marked on the chart 4- Intersecting with the upper red trendline acting as a non-horizontal resistance 📉 Hence, as BTC approaches the 30k - 32k zone, we will be expecting the bears to take over for a medium-term correction. 📌 on H4: Right Chart For now, we will remain bullish as long as BTC doesn't break a previous major low. The current last major low is highlighted in gray around 26,700 📉 If we break below 26,700 expect a bearish correction to start till around 25,000 support / demand. Which scenario do you think is more likely to happen first? and why? 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich

Narrow Range Trading and Potential Bearish TurnBitcoin has been trading in a narrow range, prompting some investors to consider putting their money into altcoins. The cryptocurrency is currently experiencing resistance at around $28,300 to $28,700, while the support level is at $26,800 to $27,000. Bitcoin has faced some significant resistance in recent times, with a flush-out attempt on order block clearing. This is a sign that the cryptocurrency may be in for a bearish turn, and we could see a retest of recent support structures at 26,300, 25,400, and 24,700. On the 4-hour timeframe, it is clear that the moving averages have spread out too quickly and too fast. Although MAs are not always the most reliable indicator for analyzing crypto prices, the underlying reasons suggest that there is more downside potential for Bitcoin. As a result, more money may be stuck on the downside in long orders, which will need to be picked up before there can be any further upward momentum. Note that the Hourly EMA 50 for Bitcoin is currently at 27667. This could be an important level to watch for traders and investors who use technical analysis, as the EMA 50 can be a key indicator of short-term price movements. If the price of Bitcoin stays above this level, it could be seen as a bullish signal, whereas a drop below this level could suggest bearish momentum. However, it is important to note that technical analysis should always be used in conjunction with fundamental analysis and other factors that can impact the price of cryptocurrencies.
