FX Professor 101: How I Start My Charts with Trendlines & Fib Levels 🧠📈
Some of you asked me to show my charting process again — so here it is, strictly educational, using Pepper as the example (because a few of you believe in it and asked about it). Let’s build this chart together from scratch. 🛠️
Step 1: Get Full Historical Context 📜
I always start by selecting a chart with the most data available. More history = more structure to work with. No shortcuts here.
Step 2: Anchor with Horizontal Trendlines 📏
I look for a clear support → resistance → support pattern with no manipulation. That becomes my anchor level.
Then I scan for secondary levels – if they’re too close or manipulated, I keep them dotted and as references.
Zooming in helps. Don't hesitate to get granular when needed. 🔍
Step 3: Respect the Manipulation 🤨
If a chart feels overly manipulated (wicks, fakeouts, no clear rejections), I lose trust in it. But sometimes even within manipulation, valid levels emerge — and I mark them clearly.
Step 4: Fibonacci Confirmation 🔢✨
Once I place the trendlines, I overlay Fibonacci retracements to see if they align. In this case, one of my levels landed exactly on 0.618 – no cap! 😂 That’s when experience meets structure.
Final Notes 🧘♂️
• Only two levels made the final cut
• Secondary levels marked with dotted lines
• 0.618 Fib validated the primary structure
• Support at 929 is looking strong as of now
This is my process. It’s how I start every serious chart. Nothing fancy — just history, structure, and experience. If it helps even one of you out there, I’m happy. 💙

Food for Trading Thought:
From my experience as an AI developer, I’ve come to one firm conclusion — AI will never replace us. It can assist, but it can’t see what you see or feel what you feel. The real edge in trading is your human intuition, patience, and discipline.
Trading is a game — a risky game. Play it right if you're going to play it at all.
Stay human and remember: the best Blockchain is YOU, the best Altcoins are your loved ones and your work/creation/purpose in life. 🎯
