3 Amazing Lessons I learnt from McDonaldsI love McDonalds. There was a time where I was ranking different burgers from around the world. UK, France, South Africa, Dubai, America, Switzerland and Greece. And I only ranked about 4 burgers an 8 out of 10. I know you’re going to hate but… McDonalds Big Mc remains one of them I ranked 8 out of 10 – Delicious!. Anyway, so I love the burger, I love the story – if you’ve seen “The Founder” movie. And I love the lessons learned from the success story. And since 2013, I always enjoy writing articles on how other companies, entities and even individuals can teach you indirectly about trading. McDonalds is the one in the spot light for today! 3 lessons I learnt from McDonalds! The fast-food giant has been able to achieve massive success by keeping things simple, sticking to a proven system, and adapting to changes in the market. These same principles can be applied to trading the financial Lesson #1: Less is more… The company has built its success on a relatively small menu of simple, easy-to-understand options. Also the way to make the meals are so simple with easy ingredients you probably have at home. Well, traders can achieve better results by focusing on: • Small number of markets or securities • One or two systems • One or two time frames • One to three money management rules • Less time trading and more time holding Lesson #2: Find a System to Repeat The company has built a highly efficient and repeatable system for making and delivering food. Remember the scene in the movie “The Founder” where Ray Croc organised his system within a tennis court until mastered? It’s simple, it works – and it’s never died out. This has allowed them to replicate their success across thousands of locations worldwide. With trading, you should also look for a system that you can repeat and stick with it. I mean, by now my MATI Trader System – must feel like child’s play to you because of how I have taught you the system in and out. And I have shared with you hundreds of trade line ups already with Trading View. And with you seeing it the system everyday, it must feel second nature for spotting a trade by now right? Well, just like Rocket Science isn’t rocket science to a rocket scientist – That’s why you feel that way about my MATI Trader System… And if you have a system that you swear by, you’ll feel the same way I do. This can help you to avoid the pitfall of constantly switching strategies and missing out on long-term gains. Lesson #3: Adapt to Change McDonald's has also been able to adapt to changes in the market, such as: • Environment concerns • Consumer demand for healthier options • Relevant and trendy toys in Happy Meals • New neutral colour style restaurant catering to all nations and cultures around the world • More options for vegans and vegetarians They have and has been able to stay relevant and successful for decades. Similarly, traders need to be able to adapt to changes in the markets, whether it: Adding new markets to your watchlist Adjusting your Risk to Reward during favourable and unfavourable environments Shifts in economic conditions or changes in consumer preferences. This might mean adjusting your trading strategy slightly or seeking out new opportunities in different markets. You need to be able to adapt to change which is crucial for long-term success in the financial markets. And so, McDonald's has been successful by keeping things simple, sticking to a repeatable system, and adapting to change. Apply these principles to your own trading and you’ll find trading to be a walk in the park in the medium to long run… Do you like McDonalds and what would you rate the Big Mc? I won’t judge. Trade well, live free. Timon MATI Trader (Financial trader since 2003)

MCDONALDS Bad for your health - good for your portfolio.The McDonalds Corporation (MCD) is defying the Bear Market as on November 10 it made a new All Time High. Today it pulled-back to the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) amidst the general post Fed market drop for the first time in nearly two months (since October 21). As you see it is trading within a long-term Channel Up since the 2020 COVID crash and is best seen if we apply the Fibonacci extension levels. The current pattern since November 10 in fact looks like the Megaphone of April - July 2021. In order to get confirmed, we need to see the 1D MA50 hold here and that should give it a boost to a new High. A break below though, will most likely seek the Support of the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) in order to accumulate more buyers, as it has been doing since February 2021. In any case McDonalds are for sure bad for your health but can be great owning their stock in your portfolio. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may also TELL ME 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ in the comments section which symbol you want me to analyze next and on which time-frame.

What's real?All that glitters is not gold. These are the main indices for the US economy. Don't trust them blindly. I am just repeating something I posted quite some time ago. You have two pockets, one full of USD, one full of stocks. As a trader you fill each one and empty the other one, when you feel that it is worth it. If half the money is in USD and half invested in stocks, what is the damage to the US economy this last year? And more specifically, the damage of the liquid part of the economy. Answer: Absolutely zero. Why? Because this "recession" we lived thorough doesn't look like what it looks like. For decades we took energy, food, health and peace for granted. In a split second we had to start thinking differently. The same goes for investing, the same goes for trading. There is this saying, that if you invent a revolutionary trading method and it is successful, when everyone picks it up and applies it, the market absorbs the effect, thus breaking it. You can't fix a problem if you are INSIDE the problem. If you want to look at the US economy, you have to look it from outside. This chart does something like that. You could measure DJI in Euro or Yen. You could just measure it in an average-of-all-other-currencies currency. I obsess with this transformation. If you measure USOIL in Yen, you will see an immense problem. If you just look at USOIL measured in dollars, everything is peaceful. If we all believe that DJI is the measure of the strength of the economy, then it isn't. I am oversimplifying. I also won't say that just this multiplication will solve our problems. I just want to point out that the real picture is blurred with all these modern methods and the famous indices. A handful of companies own most of the worldwide wealth. A handful of people in reality... This is not a conspiracy, it is the Pareto Distribution which is one of nature's fundamentals. They could, in theory and in practice, manipulate the economy at will. Why am I saying that? Because the smaller companies of SPX were hurt compared to the blue-chips. These charts show just that. Throughout this year, the big ones didn't get hurt at all. And their price movement? Curiously similar to the normalized chart. Did anything happen to Apple, Amazon, Google, Tesla, McDonalds? Nada. Blue: DXY*DJI/100 Orange: MCD Blue: DXY*SPX/100 Orange: AAPL I am not trying to say that these two companies manipulate the economy. But surely Apple, the biggest company in US, is so heavy that its steps feel like earthquake to us. Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

McDonald's Breaks Out 2.78%After a 9-month waiting period, McDonald’s has finally created new all-time highs. The previous all-time high was back in January this year at $271. Following that, price then went into a range between $217 and $271 and managed to pick up enough momentum this past week to force a breakout from consolidation. Our task now is to confirm whether this is a fake breakout or the beginning of a long-term trend. The way we confirm this as being the start of a trend is by waiting patiently on the sidelines. We need to wait for a pattern of higher highs and higher lows to develop, which is usually a sign of a bullish trend. That will give us the confidence that McDonald’s is embarking on the next leg of the bull trend. Waiting will not cause us to miss out because once the confirmation is set, then we can aggressively compound and maximise our profit on the way up.

Mikkey D's like a rock. MCDFlat formation. Some visible divergences. Anyway, looking more appealing than fast food. We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.

McDonald's MCD - I'm Lovin' Selling, and You Should be tooYou don't see just how highly priced McDonald's still is unless you look at it on the Monthly: I mean, this is the place that sells faux-food while CPI and PPI are through the roof, and it's still trading almost at its all time high. This is even more ridiculous than the positioning of Apple AAPL: Apple AAPL - Looks Fine on the Outside, but Tastes Weird And Tesla TSLA: Tesla TSLA - The Canary in the Coal Mine On top of that, this is one of the thirty companies that compose the Dow, which is the most bearish of all indexes, having already retested the pre-COVID highs, which SPX and Nasdaq have yet to do. The bottom line for everyone's least favourite, but most convenient, fast food dumpster fire is that the June --> August price action, was, like Apple, just a gap fill. And now, it's time to seek new lows. And those lows happen to be, conservatively, in the $245 range. This is a fat put if you buy puts, but a "my calls expired worthless so at least I can sob about my drawdown on Reddit" scenario for Robinhood's retail fodder. I can only encourage everyone who is still long on equities to get out this week. I truly believe that we are going to see a bounce that traps bears short but snares bulls long: SPX / ES - Bull Whips and Bear Saws With a looming VIX 72 (hasn't done much since COVID! It's two years! It's due! Be careful!) hanging overhead. VIX - 9x8 = 72 What lies ahead, after the trap has been executed, will come fast, and viciously, and it will seem as if the world is ending. If you buy when it's high because you are still thinking to yourself that this is the old paradigm, you're going to lose at least one finger, and probably three. This world is not one where you can use magic to regrow what's lost, you know? And so what I want to say is that you should protect what you have. If you can't get short, if you can't trade puts, then get cash heavy and reduce your risk. Ultimately, what's important in life is not money, which when you die you leave behind. It is maintaining your kindness. It is harbouring your virtue. This isn't moral dogma, unless you make it moral dogma. The path through the storm is to do better in your life. Been neglecting family? Fix it. Been a bad father? Fix it. Been a bad boss? Buy the secretary flowers and tell her that she's doing a great job. Make sure you mean it. You aren't such a bad guy. Make sure you mean it. Try your best. One day, in this lifetime, when the Chinese Communist Party falls, you'll instantly understand what I am referring to. Don't leave yourself with regrets on that day. That day is too late. You have to figure it out and do well before that day. It's just like poker, where you have to place your bets before the cards are face up. It doesn't count anymore after the cards are face up.

MICRO CAD/USD FUTURES (MCD1!), H4 Potential for Bearish DropType : Bearish Drop Resistance : 0.7696 Pivot: 0.7645 Support : 0.7559 Preferred Case: On the H4, with price trendline and moving below the ichimoku indicator,we have a bearish bias that price may drop from pivot at 0.7645 where the swing low support is. Should price break pivot structure, we would expect bearish momentum to carry price to 1st support at 0.7559 where the1st support and 100% fibonacci projection are. Alternative scenario: Alternatively, price could rise to 1st resistance at 0.7696 in line with 23.6% fibonacci retracement. Fundamentals: During the Jackson Hole symposium, Fed Chair Powell indicated that more rate hikes were coming and that the Feds could continue lifting rates sharply for some time as it combats to bring inflation towards its target level, which made DXY strengthened and gained against all the other currencies.

McDonald's | MCD | Long OpportunityMcDonald's Corp ( NYSE:MCD ) may be entering buy territory. Head and shoulders pattern formed before this recent decline, but primary support may be near $218. Given the March 2022 Federal Reserve meeting and OpEx next week (as well as the Russia/Ukraine war), there could be more declines ahead to the primary support (indicators show this is likely, as well). If it can hold that level, a 50 EMA (yellow line) or 200 EMA (green line) touch may be in its future. There is a small gap at $266.72 - $270 to fill, but that would likely be reached if the indexes melt-up or superb business news emerges. On Feb 28, 2022, the Director purchased $244,180 worth of shares at an average of $244.18. No insider sales after Oct 2021. P/E near 22
