What is Run Gain Potential and how do you use itToday's tutorial is about Run Gain Potential and how to calculate it for daily candles and intraday minute candles. It is a very important part of determining how far a stock can run, whether the run gain has sufficient points for good profits, and whether or not the run gain potential is shrinking over time, a common warning that instead of a minor retracement a correction either sideways or down is over due. Retracements and corrections are normal and necessary to maintain the integrity of the upward trend. Also Run Gain Potential tells you where to place your stop losses. Using percentage stop losses instead of support appropriate for your trading style is the most common reason why retail traders stop losses are taken too soon.

the WY of Honeywell's Earnings Report Gap up and Run down It is very important that you understand what is happening in a company that impacts its stock price. HON has had Dark Pool Rotation going on since July of this year. Dark Pools are the most informed of all the Market Participant groups (there are 12 not 2). The chart of HON has plenty of information that provides an understanding of why the stock ran down this morning. Late retail buyers may push price up if they buy on the dip which is not a dip and it is not profit taking either. HFTs were the trigger for HON to gap up at open. Smaller funds were the drivers of price upward. HFTs sold quickly. Pro Traders who were in with the HFTs took profits end of day as is their custom. Today is a surprise for many retail day traders as the stock is running down early this morning. This is smaller funds who want to off load their shares of HON selling into the previous day's speculative trading. Who controls price today? Smaller funds.

How Algorithms Let You See the Market’s Next Move - EUR/USD I’m not exaggerating when I say this — if you give yourself the chance, algorithms can completely change the way you see the market. In this video (and many of my previous ones), I show real examples where I successfully outlined a scenario before the price followed it. This doesn’t happen because I have a crystal ball — it happens because I use algorithms to understand the current set of possibilities the market is likely to explore next. Once you start seeing the market through this lens, trading stops feeling random. You begin to see how price actually moves — the logic, the structure, and the hidden battles that shape every candle. This knowledge is too powerful to keep to myself, so I’ll continue sharing these insights here on TradingView. I hope you’ll join this growing community of traders who are learning to see the market for what it truly is. As always, thank you for watching — and if you have any questions, drop them in the comments. I’ll be happy to help.

Friday Market Condition AnalysisThis is a weekly analysis of Market Conditions based on my CMT theories. There are 6 Primary Market Conditions. Each is unique and easy to identify once you understand the theory behind it. Who is in control of price. What technical patterns are prevalent and reliable. How Price will behave: Resistance/Support. What trading style(s) work best. Which indicators to use. The inherent RISK in trading specific styles. What Trendline Patterns are common. Which Candlestick Entry and Exit Signals are most reliable. The strength or weakness of the Price and Volume Patterns. Market Condition Analysis tells you HOW and WHEN to trade, WHO is controlling price, WHAT to expect in near-term price action, WHERE to find excellent picks, HOW to enter, and WHEN to exit. Market Condition Analysis is a road map of which Market Participants are actively trading, which are sidelined or waiting, and where we are in the overall long-term, intermediate-term, and short-term trends.

The Chart Analysis Advice I wish I was given as a beginnerNo I am not a professional video maker, just a trader, so please excuse the terrible video quality! When I was learning to trade, I constantly wished I´d found someone who explained to me how trades worked and also how I could reliably take them and protect them. Unfortunately, I found most professors were super vague and didn´t know what they were talking about. With this system, while one cannot predict the future, we do have the next best thing, which is the forecast, kind of like the weather. Thanks to the algorithms then, we can prepare accordingly and set out trades to benefit us to the max while being exposed to small risks. In this video, I briefly talk about this morning´s trade and the logic behind this morning´s events. This for the purpose of studying the markets to improve. As always if you have any questions, don´t hesitate to ask

What Are These Messy Lines in my Chart? - Explaining the AlgosIf you’ve checked out my trading chart, you might’ve noticed it looks a bit complex — full of colorful lines and structures. But have you ever wondered what those lines are really for? Each one is drawn to graphically identify the presence of invisible algorithms — the hidden forces that move the market. At any given time, multiple algorithms are battling for control of price direction. By visualizing their interaction on the chart, we can begin to see the true structure behind market movement. Understanding this gives you a deeper insight into how markets actually function — and that insight can completely change the way you trade. If you find this perspective useful, consider subscribing and diving deeper into this style of market analysis.

The Market Crash Friday was NOT what you have been told.The stock market crash was blamed on many things but NONE are true. The reason why the stock market had a huge run down on Friday was due to a VOID of BUYERS. Who were the buyers??? You will never guess. It was the 436 of the SP 500 companies that have buybacks underway, newly created, or open ended. Corporations have been supporting their own individual stock price. WHY? To maintain their Market Cap during stressed market times. To improve their dividend yield for the Buy Side Institutions who many 145 trillion dollars of assets and who own the bulk of those companies stock. To keep their stock from dropping further on retail news. Why did the corporations stop buying their stock on Friday? Because the Earnings Season is getting underway this week and they stop buybacks to avoid a conflict of interest or other regulatory situations from buyin back shares during or before their CEO reports. The corporations are likely to resume their accumulation a week or so after their CEO guidance and reports.

GameStop and Fibonacci: It's About TimeThis is my first attempt at publishing a video on TradingView, so hopefully it works. I wanted to put together something educational about fib channels and why I like to use them. They're not a silver bullet, but they do tell you a lot about where to expect support and resistance because the chart has a very good memory, and you can see this play out on pretty much any instrument, including cryptocurrencies. I follow NYSE:GME closer than any other ticker, so this video is about my philosophy on the fib channels that I have been using on the GME chart and talking about on the Echo Chamber Podcast. Hopefully this adds a little more context to that discussion, how the flat price levels are not always the only thing that matters, but taking time-based trends into account can make a big difference in your analysis and understanding of price movement. Happy to hear people's thoughts on my crayons 🖍️ which color should I eat next? Since this is a bit of a longer video, here's an AI summary of the content with timestamps: Introduction 00:00-01:05 I introduce the topic of explaining my TradingView chart, which has many colorful lines. I clarify that I didn't manually draw all the lines, but used Fibonacci channels that only require selecting 3 points. Explaining Current Chart 01:05-04:33 I show my current GameStop chart, explaining various trend lines and Fibonacci channels. I demonstrate how to adjust the Fibonacci channel points to analyze different price movements. Fresh Chart Walkthrough 04:33-11:57 Moving to a clean chart, I explain global chart items, including trend lines from major tops and bottoms. I discuss dividend-adjusted vs non-adjusted charts and explain the "Gandalf line" of support. Fibonacci Channels Explanation 11:57-24:54 I provide a detailed explanation of how Fibonacci channels work, demonstrating how to draw them and interpret the resulting lines. I show how these channels can describe price action across long time periods. Additional Examples 24:54-33:44 I show more examples of Fibonacci channels applied to GameStop's entire price history. I discuss how these channels can provide insight into potential future price movements and support/resistance levels. Conclusion 33:44-34:40 I summarize my thoughts on GameStop's current price action in relation to the Fibonacci channels and support levels identified. Some Quotes "I find them mathematically interesting." 11:54 - Referring to trend-based Fibonacci tools. "Math is your friend here. But you don't have to do the math, you just can use tools that will help you." 17:19 "Price is fractal in nature in that patterns are repeating and Fibonacci is everywhere." 17:19 "Things like history repeats itself. It's just a question of when, not if." 24:30 "The point I want to drive home here is that when we start to get a little bit more granular here, and this is why I have lots of crayons on my chart." 28:34 Key Tips/Concepts Fibonacci channels can be powerful tools for technical analysis, providing insight into potential support and resistance levels. These channels can sometimes describe price action across very long time periods, even when drawn based on recent price movements with thoughtfully selected endpoints. The importance of considering price, time, and volume in technical analysis, as demonstrated by the "Gandalf line". The value of using multiple timeframes and chart types (dividend-adjusted vs non-adjusted, trading hours only vs extended hours included) to gain a more complete picture of a stock's price history. (Editorial note: something I didn't cover in the video, but the difference between log scale and linear scale sometimes will make for an interesting story on trendlines and fib channels too. I prefer to keep my chart in log scale, but will toggle between log and linear occasionally to see if there's something interesting there in the lines already drawn.) The concept of fractal nature in price movements and how patterns tend to repeat over time.

Why is the Stock Market UP when the Government is shut down?The stock market has been trending upward via the indexes as representative of the overall stock market. The Government of the US has been shut down for over a week, but stocks, especially big blue chip stocks keep moving upward. WHY? Is it Wall Street vs Main Street? No. Is it because the "economy is unstoppable? No. Is it because of tariffs? and all that money going to the government? No. So what is driving big name companies upward when the market should be crashing because of the shut down as stock market has ALWAYS DONE in the past any time the ceiling budget increase fails in Congress? Corporations, with the huge tax cuts this year, and with AI providing significant lower overhead costs, and payroll costs, are in a massive buyback program once again, as they were in 2018 and 2019. Buybacks are intended to move price of a stock upward and or maintain a price that the corporation has targeted for their buybacks. The Bank of Record for the corporation does the actual physical work of buying shares of a company back to return the ownership of those shares to the corporation. This boost dividends which keep the Buy Side Institutions, who hold the majority of shares of many corporations, from lowering inventory for that stock. Buy Side Institutions are the most important investors for every corporation. Keep the Buy Side Institutions content with how the company is being managed is a key element of maintaining a high Percentage of Shares held by Institutions which is the primary goal of every corporation. Corporations focus on keeping shareholders holding their stock is not about the average small lot investor. It is all about keeping the Buy Side Institutions pleased with the price of the stock during extreme stress to the market. This is very important information as it tells you WHO CONTROLS PRICE and that tells you when to enter a stock, how to trade that stock, what strategies will work best for your trading style, and when and how to exit to close the trade at the ideal profit taking price level.

With just the 45m and 3H one can make have solid entries around similar preset times, allowing you to plan for trades around your daily life. Not everyone can be on screens all day. Some have jobs, professions, families, etc...

Stacking logarithmic (log) channels - Secret tool in crypto Ep 3Stacking Logarithmic Channels - Bitcoin's Hidden Fractal Structure | Signal & Structure Episode 3 In this third episode of Signal and Structure, we explore a powerful but little-known technique: stacking logarithmic channels to identify critical support and resistance levels in exponentially growing assets like Bitcoin. Core Technique Revealed: The Logarithmic Channel Stacking Method Start with a base channel on log scale (demonstrated from November 2011) Copy and stack identical channels above/below the original The midline of one channel becomes the boundary of adjacent channels Creates a fractal structure that respects Bitcoin's exponential growth pattern Key Principles: Always use logarithmic scale for crypto channels Midlines are as important as channel boundaries Multiple touches validate channel placement Channels maintain proportional relationships when stacked Practical Demonstrations: Historical Validation Points November 2013: Top of first channel ($1,200) December 2017: Top of second stacked channel ($19,000) November 2021: Bottom of third stacked channel ($69,000) March 2023: Bottom of fourth stacked channel ($15,500) Current Market Analysis: Bitcoin dancing around the midline of the current channel Lower boundary support around $90-92K (aligning with CME gap) Technical ceiling projections discussed with appropriate caveats Channel Construction Details: Monthly channels: Black, thickness 4, 30% opacity Weekly channels: Maroon/brown, thickness 3 Always include midlines for additional confluence Adjust opacity to prevent chart clutter Advanced Insights: Why log scale channels reveal patterns invisible on linear scale How to validate channels using midline touches The relationship between channel midlines and new channel boundaries Dealing with ambiguous channel placement (multiple valid options) Time-Saving Tips: Use TradingView's copy/paste to maintain exact channel angles Set consistent color coding for different timeframes Keep channels semi-transparent for better visibility This technique works because logarithmic scale represents percentage moves consistently - a 100% move always appears the same height regardless of price level. This creates natural harmonic levels that price tends to respect over long timeframes. While specific price projections should be taken as possibilities rather than certainties, the method itself provides a robust framework for understanding Bitcoin's price structure across its entire history. The convergence of these channel levels with other technical factors (like CME gaps) adds additional weight to these zones. Remember: Channels are guides, not guarantees. Use them for context and confluence, not as standalone trading signals.

Learn What a VOID is and how it Impacts Your Trading A void is a trading condition that occurs when small lot buyers and Odd Lot investors run out of capital to invest. These two retail groups tend to have very little savings to invest so they buy Odd Lots (under 100 shares for one transaction) or Fractional Shares, which is a fraction of ONE single share of stock of a company. These groups are the LAST buyers in during a Velocity or Speculative Trading Condition which happens often during highly emotional trading activity in a Moderately Up Trending Market Condition. When the Odd lot and low capital base NEW retail day traders run out of money they stop buying and a VOID of BUYERS occurs. The Sell Side Institutions, Giant Hedge Funds, Professional Independent Traders all recognize the volume and price patterns that form due to a VOID of BUYERS on the retail side. Volume bars are the number of ORDERS that are rapidly moving through the huge and very complex stock market systems. Volume, therefore is a primary indicator that warns of an impending VOID of BUYERS. When that occurs, the professionals mentioned above start to prepare to sell short and determined how low they can place a buy-to-cover order to maximize their profits when selling short. Thus, with a surge of HFT sell short orders, the market would gap down at open. HFTS use very small lot orders to fill the queues ahead of the market open and thus force the computers that run the market to lower the price of the stock to where the buy to covers are waiting. So that is WHY there is a sudden collapse of price after a speculative run up as we have had recently and will have again.

Learn what happened yesterday from the Professional sideWhat you hear and read on the retail side of the market is totally different than what actually happened on the professional side. This is an important distinction to learn about because the professional side of the market is where 80% of all the market transactions each day, some 350 -400 billion dollars exchanging hands, occurs on the professional side of the market. The professional side of the market is transacted on the Dark Pool ATS venues, there are 50 Alternative Trading Venues. There are only 13 public exchanges. 20% of all transactions are on the public exchanges and are retail investors, retail traders and small funds managers with less than 3.5 billion in assets. The internal structure of the stock market is entirely different than retail traders believe. It is far more complex and far larger. The speed of execution is on the millisecond which is 60,000 transactions per second. Retail trades on the 1 minute timeframe. The Dow 30 started out the day with a huge Gap Up on HFT volume as the HFTs filled the queues of the market seconds before the market opened. This caused the gap up, NOT retail traders orders which were filled after the gap and run up. Try not to chase stocks or ETFs. Then just before the Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Powell was going to speak, a surge of MEMEs groups, and Guru led retail groups rushed in and drove the value of the Dow and price of the DIA upward. With a mere 25 basis points retail groups, news, reporters, websites all reacted negatively as all were expecting a higher rate cut. The Sell Side Institutions, aka big banks, and professional traders already were filling the queues on the millisecond with SELL SHORT ORDERS pending a buy to cover WAY below their sell short order. So the stocks of the Dow that had been speculated upward and the DIA suddenly collapsed as there were NO buyers and scant buy to covers. A VOID along with smaller funds VWAP orders drove Dow components down and DIA down. then the fundamentals of some Dow components were below the stock price. Dark Pools started buying these stocks at bargain prices as the fundamentals at this time were way above the price for those Dow stocks. The Buy Side made huge profits. The Sell Side made huge profits, the professionals made huge profits. Most retail day traders and numerous smaller funds lost money.
