Does news events affect price action analysis in trading ?Hello everyone: Today I want to discuss news events in trading. Often when a news event comes out in the market, we get some sort of volatility and we get a strong spike/impulse. However, does news events affect our ways of understanding price action analysis ? Let's take a look at a few examples of the recent FOMC volatility that happened in the forex, indices and commodity market. Most of the market had a sharp quick move to one direction, hinting a sign of weakness in USD/JPY..etc. However, all of them ended up with a reversal impulse, and recovered all the price from the volatility. So, what can we take away from this ? News certain creates volatility, but not the overall price action trending direction. We may get a temporary short term move, but eventually the market recovers it, and resumes its original direction. Often beginner/newcomer traders will try to “jump” onto the news momentum, but usually end too late, and they will take a BE or losses. We can not control the outcome of the news or whether the news will be positive or negative towards our trades, but what we can control is our entry, SL, TP, risk management, emotions and mindset. Any questions, comments or feedback welcome to let me know :) Thank you Jojo

Reversal Impulse Price Action - Trend Change Confirmation Hello everyone: Welcome back to another price action structures/patterns video. Today let's take a look into the reversal Impulse price action from the market. I have back tested and seen these types of price action happen very often in any market, any time frame. Its signaling a very strong trend change and reversal momentum from the price. Let's take a look into what it looks like usually, and how to effectively take advantage of these types of price action in the market. Seeing them on the HTF, giving us strong bias for a reversal trend change coming. Seeing them on the LTF, signs of reversal from the LTF first, and leading towards the beginning of the HTF reversal move. Remember, Multi-time frame analysis is key. If we spot a potential HTF reversal impulse, then likely LTF price action is also showing reversal price action structures/patterns. We want to pair as many positive confluences as we can together to give us an edge entering the trades. As always, any questions, comments or feedback please let me know. Thank you Jojo

Detail look into “M” & “W” Structures/Patterns in Price Action Hello everyone: Welcome back to another price action structures/patterns video. Today let's take a look into the “M” and “W” style structures/patterns. Many traders may use these types of structures/patterns in their trading plan/strategies. Let me show you guys my interpretation of them, and how I utilize them in my trading as well. It's important to understand many of my previous price action analysis, structures/patterns videos all tie into this one as well, I will put those links below. Essentially, a “M” or “W” style pattern is a double tops/bottoms pattern that appears mostly towards an end of a run of the current price. They are “reversal” price action structures/patterns. They are most effective when we tie in other price action structures/patterns with it. Let me give multiple examples of these structures/patterns in different markets and time frames. “M” Style Pattern -Double tops structure after price failed to continue the first initial push down. -Top of the Right M, needs to have a reversal structure on the LTF or smaller time frames (ascending channel, H and S pattern..etc) -Can either enter at the breakout of the reversal structure or the first correction after the impulse down “W” Style Pattern -Double Bottoms after price failed to continue the first initial push up. -bottom of the Right W, needs to have a reversal structure on the LTF or smaller time frames (descending channel, Inverse H and S pattern..etc) -Can either enter at the breakout of the reversal structure or the first correction after the impulse up Double Top/Bottoms: Ascending/Descending channel: Head and Shoulder Pattern: Continuation/Reversal Correction: Multi-Time Frame Analysis: As always, any questions, comments or feedback please let me know. Thank you Jojo

USDCAD Backtesting & Chart Work session on Price Action AnalysisHello everyone: Welcome to a backtesting/charting session on price action analysis. Many have inquired about how to properly identify market phrases (Impulse phrase vs corrective phrase). In addition, how to use trendline properly to identify a structure/pattern as a continuation or reversal correction. This session will be the start to all these. So let's take a look into this. To start, make sure you have a new chart layout just for backtesting/charting work. his won't get overlapped on your current chart for your normal analysis. Utilizing tradingview’s feature on “replay”, this is how we can backtest and do chart work on previous price action that has already happened. As we already see the price moved in that period of time, we then look for potential buy/sell bias entries to get familiar with the move within the market. 1. Start from the Higher time frames, top down approach. Utilize multi-time frame analysis to your advantage. 2. Identify what market phrase you are in, is the current price in a HTF impulse phrase ? or in a corrective phrase. 3. Now that you have a more clear bias on the HTF, then go down to the lower time frame to confirm your bias. Do we see the same bearish/bullish price action on the LTF as well ? If so then that's a good indication that both HTF and LTF have the same buy/sell opportunity. Look for possible entries on the LTF. 4. Repeat this process with different pairs, different markets to “program” our minds into looking for the similar buy/sell setups in the current, live market. This is how we don't get FOMO, or fear of losing. If you have done enough backtesting and charting, then you simply remove the emotion out of the equation. You have seen the move play out over and over again, then it comes down to probabilities. Feel free to ask me questions, comments or feedback :) Thank you

Trading parallel channel like Proin parallel channel there are two trend lines parallel to each other. You buy/sell at trend line. near the yellow arrow sign. you multiple resistance trend line fib retracement previous support now turned into resistance trade always have two part Entry and exit you have multiple resistance to sell and you exit at 100% projection of wave at lower trend line of channel this is perfect example : How you can trade using trend lines, fib retracement and extension, support and resistance. (market doesn't give you this type trade everyday. so you have to wait which strategy is giving you signal to trade. if you wait you always spot this type of trade easily ).

How To Trade Channels?The above chart shows what is called a “channel” in trading. It is basically diagonal support and resistance (a.k.a Trend-lines). The area in between is known as a channel. The red zone is said to be the perfect entry area for sells whereas the green is for buys. How To Find The Zones? Using the “Parallel Lines” tool, draw the diagonal S/R then measure the first candle/wick that starts the channel and that area is where you would get entries with the least possible drawdown.

It's not a bird. It's not a plane! It's a channel. Nobody really knows for sure why channels develop. There are loads of theories. I'm not interested. A channel is usually discovered late, obviously because the channel is evolving and then you see it. Unbelievable as it is, it is there. So what do you do. Well, I don't give advice. What I do is understand that there may be limited opportunity to exploit. I say limited because when late in the game, price can break up out of the channel or down out of the channel. That means that if price approaches either end of the channel, it is a critical time. All one can do is take the loss! It's called a stop loss. Channels also do strange things like break out and then go madly the other way. If everybody had a magic formula how to work them, everybody would be zillionaires. It ain' t happening! But there is still money to be made by following microtrends. That's where you follow small trends from 3 min to 15 min. These can take days to play out. For newcomers it's not a good idea to work blindly in a channel. Find other indicators to assist. Experience is also an important thing. As I always say blowing up 10 Tradingview paper trading accounts is far better than blowing up one live account. Get the safe experience almost totally for FREE!

The PitchFork - a great way to define and trade channelsThis is how I use pitchforks and I hope it is an inspiration for you too. I like trading channels and the pitchfork is a great way to identify them early on and to confirm these channels. It is not always straightforward to find the right points (1-2-3, see below), but I think the pitchfork is quite powerful and for me a handy tool in addition to other indicators and tools. If you have not tried it before, give it a go! Please leave your comments and thoughts so we can all learn and get inspired by each other!!! ************************************ HOW TO SET the PITCHFORK? A Pitchfork can help identifying a channel in a fairly early stage. Three points need to be used: 1. a previous pre-channel high/low 2. the new channel high 3. the new channel low If 2 is closer to 1 compared to 3 (vertically) then you will see a descending channel. Otherwise ascending. Point 1 will become the mid-line of the channel and serves as an additional support/resistance HOW TO DEFINE OPPORTUNITIES? Opportunities exist when the price touches the boundaries. #SELL - In this case we see 3 SELL opportunities when the price touches the upper bound #LONG - we see 3 LONG opportunities, one of which (partly) failed as it got resisted by midline, which is not uncommon and always a watch out. #BREAK OUT - We also see a clear break out that can be traded as well, especially after retest. As always with channels - I prefer to only take LONG opportunities for ascending channels and SHORT for descending. This channel is fairly flat, so both were possible. Always use this technique in conjunction with other signals. **************************************

SOYBEAN Higher Time Frame Outlook on structureHello traders: Looking at soybeans from the higher time frame perspective and its price action structures. We see strong bearish impulse down from mid of 2018, and has been in this larger channel like structure ever since. Price has been consolidating for these few years, and finally breaking to the top in the recent times. What I like about the price from a structure point of view is that we just broke the previous top, but on the lower time frame the price broke up in a corrective structure. I see this type of price action over and over again. Price breaks up, catching a lot of buyers, then see a strong sell momentum down. I wouldn't be surprise to see some bearish impulse from the lower time frame, to bring the price right back into this larger channel structure, and we can potentially see the next bearish move from the top. For now, happy to be a bit more patient, and wait for price to develop a bit more. thank you

Market Structures Explained - Short and SimplePrice action moves in a particular Market Structure. We have three types of Broad Market Structures. 1 - Breakout 2 - Channels 3- Trading Range 1 - Breakout Every Trend starts with a Breakout. Every Trend ends with a Failed Breakout. Breakout is the Strongest type of Trend. 2 - Channels Trend is contained in a Channel. Pullback in channels categorises it in the Tight or Broad Channel. Channel is the Weakest Trend. Small Pullback Channel is a Tight Channel Only Look to buy in it. Deep Pullbacks are Broad Channels. 2 sided trading is possible in Broad Channel. Breaout from Trend always evolves in Trading Range. Some Channels such as Wedge or Triangles evolves into Trend Reversal. 3 - Trading Range Market is not trending. Bulls and Bear both are making money in this structure. They scalp not swing. Chances of Breakout are 50-50 in either direction. 80% of the breakouts will fail in Trading Range. Buy Low and Sell High Should be followed. Trend begins with a Breakout. Breakout weakens into Channel. Channel evolves into Trading Range. Now, Market decides which way to go. Probability of Trend Resumption and Reversal is same.
