Hello Traders. Welcome to Chapter 3.4, where we talk further about two more different types of triangles - the Barrier and Expanded triangle. In the previous chapter we talked about the running flat and contracting triangle, but for these two, they are essentially the same but different overall shape! Most importantly, these are very common patterns within the...
What is a Bearish Engulfing Pattern? A bearish engulfing pattern is a technical chart pattern that signals lower prices to come. The pattern consists of an up (white or green) candlestick followed by a large down (black or red) candlestick that eclipses or "engulfs" the smaller up candle. The pattern can be important because it shows sellers have overtaken the...
Hello Traders. Welcome to Chapter 3.3, where we talk further about a different form of corrective waves, the Flat and Expanded correction.

Hello Traders. Welcome to Chapter 3.2, where we talk about another form of corrective waves, the Flat and Expanded correction. In chapter 3.2, we will be discussing Zig-Zag waves. This is where most people will get "chopped" up in the market, as these corrections can often cause a lot of small panics within these corrective waves. These corrections more often than...
Hello Traders. Welcome to Chapter 3, where we talk about corrective waves. In chapter 3.1, we will be discussing Zig-Zag waves. The zig zag wave is one of the common of patterns in corrective Elliot Waves. Many of us see this on a daily basis, but did you know that there was a meaning behind all of the fluctuations in the price action? Chapter 3 Glossary: 3.1...

Hello Traders. I would like to introduce a new series of articles pertaining to the Elliot Wave theory. We are seeing higher interest in Elliot Wave theories these days but many traders and investors have a hard time grasping the foundation of Elliot Waves.

Hello Traders. Here, I would like to show the most commonly used and highly profitable patterns for new traders (and advanced!). There are two categories of patterns in terms of price action: Continuation patterns Continuation patterns are usually indications for traders to look for a signal that the price trend is likely to remain in play from a market...
Hello Traders. This is a continuation of how to use the long/short positioning tool from our previous post. In my previous post, I talked more specifically about how we can calculate the Risk Reward Ratio ( RRR ), but here, in a visualized format, I have broken it down as best as I can so that you as the trader can understand each and every part of the tool. This...
Hello traders. Here I present to you an important lesson of how we should all be allocating our funds. In the pyramid above, you can see the distribution of risky assets to low risk assets. Low risks are associated with low expected returns while high risks are associated with high expected returns. Investors who are not willing to take high risks have to be...
Hello traders. So you are thinking of day trading as a career? Let's start off with the bad news: it's difficult. Good news? It's doable - if approached with the right mindset. This is a part of my risk management series that I believe many traders can benefit - new or advanced. Day trading involves buying an asset and reselling it for a profit the same day - or...
I read something that made me think of something Steve Gregor had said in one of his teachings about the "failure" rate in this space (trading). "They" say the failure rate is 95%+ and that the failure rate is based more on the individual's psychology that has a direct impact on their trading decisions. I know personally that this is true from the things that I...
Hello Traders. Let me start off with a scenario that many - if not all has been through. Have you ever had a series of great trades, only to have one trade to burn your whole capital? It's probably everyone - and a guilty embarrassment that many do not want to admit. It's not bad - it's a learning process. I'm here to talk about how to effectively use stop losses....
Hello traders. Here I would like to take my take on the best timeframes (personally) that I use to trade on. This can apply to all tradable assets - especially for cryptocurrencies. Weekly Timeframe (1W): Usually one-week traders are known as longterm traders. Usually they are good at analyzing the market from a longer perspective and will usually have a...

Hello Traders. Thank you so much for the overwhelming support on the last post - we reached over 1200 likes - a new record and the best post of the month on Tradingview. Here I would like to go over why we all continue to fail buying the dips time after time from a market psychology perspective. This is a big problem for many of the traders, and we are all guilty...
Hello Traders. Here I give a friendly reminder to all beginners and advanced traders that holding (hodl'ing) your position is not ideal up to a certain point. The math of percentages shows that as losses get larger (compound interest), the return necessary to recover to break-even increases at a much faster rate. A loss of 10 percent necessitates an 11 percent...
As Biden suggested, "It is a time for healing." - I believe it is absolutely true for a time of healing in all aspects of the world, including Bitcoin. What is the Stock to flow? (about this indicator) As suggested by the creator of this indicator, 'PlanB' : " SF = stock / flow . Stock is the size of the existing stockpiles or reserve. Flow is the yearly...
