Don't Be a Trigger-Happy Trader: Patience is the Ultimate WeaponThe allure of the markets is undeniable. Charts dance across the screen, promising riches for those who can decipher their secrets. But amidst the flashing indicators and exhilarating wins, a forgotten weapon often lies dormant: **patience**. Imagine yourself as a skilled sniper in the financial jungle. Your prey? Lucrative trades. But unlike the movies, a hail of bullets (read: impulsive trades) rarely leads to victory. It's the patient stalk, the careful aim, the shot taken only when the target is in perfect sight, that brings down the prize. **The Peril of the Noisy Market:** Sometimes, the market is like a crowded carnival. Conflicting signals, false breakouts, and choppy price action create a cacophony – a confusing noise that makes discerning a clear direction nearly impossible. This is no place for a trigger-happy trader. Jumping in and out based on fleeting signals is a recipe for disaster. **The Power of Selective Strikes:** A skilled trader understands the importance of waiting for **high-probability setups**. These are situations where the technical indicators align, fundamental factors support a move, and the risk-reward ratio is attractive. These clear signals are your sniper's scope, ensuring your shot hits the mark. **The Virtue of Empty Holsters:** There will be days, even weeks, where the market offers no clear setups. This isn't a personal failing! It's the market's way of saying, "Hold your fire, soldier." Accepting these quiet periods and **resisting the urge to trade** is a sign of strength, not weakness. It allows you to conserve your capital and mental energy for when the truly lucrative opportunities arise. **Trading is a Marathon, Not a Sprint:** Building long-term trading success requires discipline. It's about waiting for the right opportunities, even if it means sitting on the sidelines for a while. Remember, **patience is not passivity**. It's actively managing your emotions, protecting your capital, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. **Taking a Break is a Sign of Strength:** If the market continues to offer no clear signals, and the lack of action is affecting your focus or creating frustration, consider taking a break. Step away from the charts, clear your head, and come back refreshed. A well-rested mind is a sharp mind, better equipped to identify those high-probability setups when they finally appear. **Remember:** The market will always be there. Don't fall victim to the need for constant action. By embracing patience, you become a more disciplined, strategic trader, and ultimately, a winner in the financial jungle. So, put down that trigger finger, sharpen your focus, and wait for the perfect shot. Your financial future will thank you for it.

PDD - Updated Analysis and Bullish OutlookIt has been a while ride on PDD this past month! Don't take your eyes off the grand prize - a breakout of our larger time frame magenta selling channel. In order to do that, we needed to build liquidity in our controlled selling channels. We have activated a stronger buying continuation channel but will need some time to prove its' control. Be patient on this one and the benefits will pay in the longer run. Happy Trading :) - TraderDaddyOG

Stock Market Logic Series #8The natural psychological expectation is that after a stock goes up, it will continue to shoot up and go to the moon. But the truth is, that most of the time, the above does NOT happen immediately. WHY? Put yourself in the shoes of the BIG SHARK, the Puppet master... You want to buy the stock so you increase the price to lure people to sell to you. When you reach this point of selling, you know this is a price people are willing to sell... So what do you do? You stop buying and start ABSORBING all the selling from the weak hands. Not all weak hands are the same. Some people will want to sell at the new high or resistance. Some people will fear and want to sell at support. But what truly matters, is that when the BIG SHARK discovered where the ACCUMULATION zone, he has zero motivation to mark the price up further. And before the next run-up, he will stop force buying and start to let others sell into him (whipsaw motion). This is the WHY, price will not move further up IMMEDIATELY. And you will usually see a flag pattern or a triangle pattern before the next run-up. So always remember to keep in mind, that the LONG SIDE needs a RUNWAY before takeoff. I am talking here about being consistent and having extremely more confidence in your trading. Once you understand the LOGIC behind the patterns, you are much more likely to trade them correctly. It is much more bullish to wait for the RUNWAY to form than just buying a new high. In this post, I explained the logic of why so many new highs are "fails" and do not take off...

Things are looking very different between me and Bitcoin.2 nights ago I was able to go all in for the swing trade and to play some side coin action also. Last night I have started to see things in a different light. Elliott waves and and some candle stick patterns have made things different between us. I will always mine with my laptops and I will always hold my 0.1+. Looking forward to mainly swing trade and protect my profits for a while. Also this is the time we could see governments take sides with alt coins. We could see them in mega rallies. Watch out for them decoupling from bitcoin. It might start as an equilibrium pattern then a full out breakout. Nothing is promised but the gains I've made and cashed out. I plan to continue to share my ideas here and nothing is financial advice. It could go to ZERO, 3k, 8k, 13k, 21k, 34, 55k, 144k, 233k Or any numbers that are of any great meaning. Please look at the highlighted small boxes and tell me if you can see anything special like I do.

EUR USD IdeaHello, Traders, Let's take a moment to recap our recent trade ideas. The data we've been observing is changing daily, and our initial suspicion that last week's high was a mere fakeout has led us to anticipate a continued downward trend. However, we took profits at that point, opting to watch and see how the situation unfolds. Now, as we delve deeper into the chart, a significant development emerges: the presence of a monthly Order Block. This block appears to be signaling a potential shift towards a bullish market sentiment. As a result, we've adopted a cautious approach, refraining from entering swing trades unless last week's high is breached once more. When that occurs, it could be the catalyst for an extremely bullish market sentiment, spanning across yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes. Keeping a watchful eye on the evolving data is crucial as we navigate the markets, as it may present golden opportunities for trading success.

TRX 4H ForecastTRX had a downward spike in previous market movement, and we can look at this upward price movement as a correction (CP). Price got close to the gray order block but didn’t get a chance to enter, but if you look closer, you can see it did a Double-top with the Pin-bar shown with the red line .. and made an excellent downfall after that .. now the price is near the dynamic trend line, and was looking for good spots to enter, Here are the instructions : 
1 - Price goes up to the resistance shown with line 1, which is also near the neckline in lower timeframes. 
2 - After that price moves back down to Line 3, which is a Support zone in his time frame and higher time frames. 
3 - next, t price moves back up to line 2, which is a golden pocket 4 - and then goes to line 4, which is the last support zone in this time frame (support zone near the price ), and that’s where the whales are waiting for you Please leave your comments, and let's talk and share some insights.

$AMZN Still strong, a pull back and reversal back up (?)Decent shooter on the 2D could signal a pull back on NASDAQ:AMZN , would be nice to see a reversal move up further North. With Monthly OPEX for May behind us, see how it moves from here. AMZN strong, but not the ultra strong move AAPL had so far on the year. Also giving it more potential before it reaches exhaustion risk like AAPL at current levels. No FOMO, no chasing for me. Definitely looking for to long AMZN IF this scenario will unfold. IF this THEN that. IF not, also fine. There will be hundreds if not thousands more trading opportunities. As long as you stay in the game. Hence, patience.

GBPUSD The Pullback Here it is, after a long couple of weeks, GBPUSD has finally gone bearish. This is a long shot, but this particular area could serve as the next potential reversal point. Along the way there could be some setups that can support price using this area to rally up, at least to the LQP. The 38.2 take profit is near the LQP so there's some level of interest in case price doesn't have the momentum to continue rallying up. However, this D point could also be the orchestra to start a new trend, resume the bullish trend. On the daily, we have a Wyckoff Distribution lingering, maybe this could fuel the 4th hit to be higher?
