Trading GOLD At All-Time Highs - 2 Methods for Profit TakingGold has broken out to all-time highs, leaving traders asking: “Where should I take profits when there’s no structure to target?”
In this video, I’ll walk you through two proven methods for setting profit targets when trading in uncharted territory:
🔹 Price Action & Technical Tools – measured moves, AB=CD patterns, Fibonacci extensions (127 & 1618), and wedge breakout projections.
🔹 Indicator-Based Exits – using RSI, stochastics, and volatility bands (Keltner Channels / Bollinger Bands) to identify exhaustion and exit signals.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to set profit targets without previous structure
✅ Why thinking like the “other trader” gives you an edge
✅ Why catching part of the move beats chasing the very top

Another Home Run Trade? Risky & Conservative ApproachesFollowing up a MASSIVE win on the OANDA:EURJPY we may now have a similar trading opportunity setting up on the OANDA:GBPJPY
The premise is the same for this one as we're looking at a potential violation of structure followed by a Bullish continuation setup.
In this video, we'll look at where we think price can extend to, what needs to happen before we can make that prediction, and both a risky and conservative technique to get involved in the move.
Please let me know how you would approach this setup!

NOTUSDT UPDATE 07/02/25Liquidity cluster above: A significant band of liquidation levels exists above 0.00178–0.00180, where market makers likely enticed longs and are now ready to reverse.
Thin liquidity zones below: The area from 0.00174 down to 0.001675 has less dense heat, suggesting an easy path for a quick move down.
Last price reaction: Price recently tagged upper high-liquidity levels, followed by rejection and an initial roll over.

A Harmonic Pattern Entry Into A Potential Continuation TradeI don't look at Bitcoin often but when answering a question for another trader this weekend I stumbled across an interesting opportunity.
Higher timeframe we've recently broken and closed above a previous high, allowing me to project that price is likely to continue higher.
We've already started to retracement in the form of a complex pullback and if you look carefully on the lower timeframe this complex pullback as also created a bullish bat pattern which could be used as an entry.

GOLD - Bullish Trend Continuation w/ Bat Pattern & Complex PBGold has been on a tear for sometime now & well, you know what they say, all good things must come to an end. In saying end, we don't necessarily mean a forever end, but perhaps sometimes a break.
After failing to make a new high, it seems like Gold has reached it's excess or exhaustion phase & is beginning to show signs of relief. If this relief were to continue, not only do we have a good structure level to look for buys at, but it's also accompanied with a potential bullish bat pattern.
Please leave any questions or comments below & if you'd like to share your views from either a fundamental or technical perspective, please do so as I love the conversation.

Easy 2618 Bear TC OpSo we have identified what should be a live and confirmed reversal on UJ. A simple Double Top and then the confirmed reversal with the break and close below the V neck of the original Double Top. The should now move into more of a Trend Continuation opportunity now that we have broken and closed beyond the previous structure. Lets see how it plays out.
GOLD & SILVER @ KEY SUPPORTFOREXCOM:XAUUSD & FXOPEN:XAGUSD are at key Double Fib levels at the same time. We are also in a Change in Trend Window today and with a lot of things at extension levels and with Interest rates in the US coming out tonight its setting up for a volatile day.

Linking Time with Price LevelThe relationship between time and price level can be observed through the analysis of price charts and technical indicators. Technical analysis involves the use of charts and indicators to identify patterns and trends in price movements. One important aspect of technical analysis is the identification of support and resistance levels, which can help traders make decisions about when to buy or sell a particular asset.
Technical indicators can also be used to analyze the relationship between price and time. For example, moving averages can be used to identify trends in price movements over a specific period of time. The slope of the moving average can indicate the strength of the trend, while the distance between the price and the moving average can indicate the level of deviation from the trend.
In addition to technical indicators, traders also use fundamental analysis to assess the relationship between time and price level. Fundamental analysis involves the study of economic and financial data to identify factors that can influence the price of an asset. For example, changes in interest rates, inflation, and political events can all have an impact on the price of an asset over time.
To summarize, the relationship between time and price level is complex and multifaceted. Traders use a variety of tools and techniques to analyze this relationship, including technical indicators, charts, and fundamental analysis. By understanding the relationship between time and price level, traders can make more informed decisions about when to buy or sell a particular asset.
Regarding the development of price ratios, the expected price level and the expected price movement for the wave can be determined by analyzing technical indicators such as Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Price Oscillator. The RSI can be used to identify the overbought and oversold conditions of an asset, while the Price Oscillator can indicate the strength of the trend. By analyzing these indicators, traders can develop price ratios and make informed decisions about when to enter or exit a trade.
Finally, it's important to note that the relationship between price and time is not always straightforward. While technical analysis and fundamental analysis can provide valuable insights, they are not foolproof. Traders need to be aware of the limitations of these tools and use them in conjunction with other forms of analysis and risk management strategies.

GBPUSD - Alternative Ways To Enter A Trade - BE CREATIVEThe other day I shared a video of a bearish CTS trading opportunity using Fibonacci, Structure & the AB=CD pattern. In that opportunity I was looking for a double top to use as an entry & as of now it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
