I've spent nearly 10 years on Tradingview.
But after doing this since the age of 15; it's been interesting and fun (don't worry, this is not me retiring) I just wanted to share some of the key points, the ups and the downs, the challenges and the rewards.
For those of you who don't follow or know me, my trading started after a school trip from Wales (in the...
Here's a post not many people will like! But as a professional trader of over 23 years now, I can say, one does not stay in the game this long without learning a thing or two.
This year I started my Christmas break a little early wound down and been enjoying some hobbies and movies. Last night I watched the film called Dumb money, it emphasised the retail...
People seem to think I have had a negative view of Bitcoin, when actually it's quite the opposite. For one Bitcoin has been very, very kind to me. My first buy was in 2011. So first, let's get one thing straight - the desire for this to go long is there for me!
But and it's a big Caveat I have been a professional trader for over 23 years.
This side of me...
Many people seem to think this is Bullish. Forgetting the fact (obviously) that it's still 50% from it's $69,000 High.
Classic case of retail only seeing what retail want to see and are blinded by every other opinion, including backed by sound logic.
When I said all that time ago - let's go long.
There was method to the madness, I had already been...
As someone who has been around Bitcoin a long time, I find it interesting to see people try and find their own "edge" from how they utilise on-chain metrics, to liquidity maps and sometimes even deeper with things like the energy consumption or BTC mined.
The last couple, most recent years - Bitcoin has been moving towards it's institutional position and that has...
Market correlation in the financial space that plays a crucial role in investment strategies, risk management, and portfolio diversification.
It refers to the degree to which the prices or returns of different financial instruments move in relation to each other. Investors and traders use correlation analysis to make informed decisions about asset allocation and...
Controversial.
People don't like it when opinions don't align with their own beliefs. It's human nature, however - even when the obvious is smacking them in the face, they still want to reinforce and find support for what is inevitably wrong.
I've talked before about the possibility of Government or WEF being behind Bitcoin. It would not surprise me one bit....
I wanted to post this post to get comments and thoughts of others here.
Have you ever seen the film "In Time" ??
Imagine you switch out the countdown timer for Bitcoin, after all it won't be long and everyone can have them embedded under the skin.
If you haven't seen the film, here's a CHATGPT explanation summary.
OK so what does this have to do with...
I was recently asked about how I got into trading. The follow on questions went something along the lines of "how did you start, what did you trade and so on. This got me thinking of many of the 'notable' trades, some funny events and change of strategies along the way.
I thought some of you might find it interesting?
So my trading journey actually started a...
Over the last couple of years, I have made a lot of posts public. These range from education through to logic for trade setups. I have gone into depth here on Tradingview to share the knowledge.
The one thing that really sticks out for me is the transition of Bitcoin here and now. Seeing this unfold on a new instrument is a first for me (not old enough to have...
People want to know about Bitcoin, but do not know how other factors effect the moves in the market.
Take a zoom out and look at this...
What usually happens when you have a ascending move up? it's moving up with a hesitation, lack of conviction.
This isn't any old chart, it's the monthly view of SPY.
Back in November last year I shared a DXY chart (Dollar...
This is a quick idea to test something else.
Purely based on the indicator, I would like to see a dart up to red line and down to target box.
100% not investment advice. It's just something I want to watch.

I recently shared a video post about using "Chat GPT" to create custom pinescript indicators.
In the video, I just showed the potential for starting your journey off! Here's an updated view of the very indicator I had Chat GPT build in the video.
This got me thinking as to the possibilities, so I made a start on a new indicator. One for looking at...
Well,
Here's an obvious pattern. Follow your influencer and get burned in the process. Don't forget to pick up your red bags on the way out and fill their affiliate link.
Common theme?
How about this?
I tried on multiple occasions to warn people.
There is post after post, after post here on @TradingView (all immutable)
Just click this link
Enjoy...
What would hurt retail the most?
This thought has made me more money than watching the news or wondering what caused that move.
The concept of the "Composite Operator", A Wyckoffian term, and it is the culprit of most major events in the market. Composite man as I call him is able to manipulate retail and the overall sentiment. A lot of people will say these...
As @Paul_Varcoe posted in his recent post. Keep a cool head here, moon calls are back trending.
Take a look at these posts, since we started making posts public. If you want proof then look no further...
I had been buying Bitcoin for several years, as a money manager & tech investor. Seeing the move at the end of 2017, it was clear the transition had...
Don't get excited! It's not just yet.
But the fact it's become institutionalised, means it's so much easier to follow it's bias.
Back at the end of 2021; this chart was popular amongst Crypto fans.
The only issue is, it had ZERO logic backing it up. When a trend is established, it needs to re-generate to grow again. A second wind as such. Look how...
Many people out there like to talk and share "Wyckoff" Information, unfortunately it's not as simple as people make out. Back in 2021 When I called an obvious distribution, it took a couple of months for many of the influencers to catch up. In the March, leading up to the first major all time high 64k levels. The market sentiment was "Re-accumulation"
So why...
