FX Professor 101: How I Start My Charts with Trendlines & FibFX Professor 101: How I Start My Charts with Trendlines & Fib Levels 🧠📈 Some of you asked me to show my charting process again — so here it is, strictly educational, using Pepper as the example (because a few of you believe in it and asked about it). Let’s build this chart together from scratch. 🛠️ Step 1: Get Full Historical Context 📜 I always start by selecting a chart with the most data available. More history = more structure to work with. No shortcuts here. Step 2: Anchor with Horizontal Trendlines 📏 I look for a clear support → resistance → support pattern with no manipulation. That becomes my anchor level. Then I scan for secondary levels – if they’re too close or manipulated, I keep them dotted and as references. Zooming in helps. Don't hesitate to get granular when needed. 🔍 Step 3: Respect the Manipulation 🤨 If a chart feels overly manipulated (wicks, fakeouts, no clear rejections), I lose trust in it. But sometimes even within manipulation, valid levels emerge — and I mark them clearly. Step 4: Fibonacci Confirmation 🔢✨ Once I place the trendlines, I overlay Fibonacci retracements to see if they align. In this case, one of my levels landed exactly on 0.618 – no cap! 😂 That’s when experience meets structure. Final Notes 🧘‍♂️ • Only two levels made the final cut • Secondary levels marked with dotted lines • 0.618 Fib validated the primary structure • Support at 929 is looking strong as of now This is my process. It’s how I start every serious chart. Nothing fancy — just history, structure, and experience. If it helps even one of you out there, I’m happy. 💙 One Love, The FXPROFESSOR 💙 Food for Trading Thought: From my experience as an AI developer, I’ve come to one firm conclusion — AI will never replace us. It can assist, but it can’t see what you see or feel what you feel. The real edge in trading is your human intuition, patience, and discipline. Trading is a game — a risky game. Play it right if you're going to play it at all. Stay human and remember: the best Blockchain is YOU, the best Altcoins are your loved ones and your work/creation/purpose in life. 🎯

Cup & Handle Done, BTC Correction First Before Another High!The correction itself supported by the Rising Wedge pattern that has been break the support level. So, in the near term let it corrected, supposed to be $87,000-$92,000 areas before we see another record high in the medium term. The trigger will be Fed starting the rate cut in 17 September 2025. Caution : Not recommended for trading purpose! It's too risky! Better you use the spot for invest, not trading the futures market! BTC probably will move along with US Stock Indices.. therefore they area getting supported when Fed confirmed the rate cut cycles!

MSOS Long with 150% Upside - Cannabis Rescheduling Catalyst💠 Catalyst : Cannabis is currently classified as a schedule I drug alongside heroin, bath salts, and synthetic opioids that kill thousands every year — all while being safer than Tylenol and legal in over half the country. Cannabis is likely to be rescheduled to a schedule III drug soon after Terry Cole is confirmed as the head of the DEA. The vote to confirm him is expected to take place...TODAY As a schedule I drug, cannabis companies can’t deduct regular business expenses for tax purposes, have limited access to banking, must transact with customers in all cash, and US multi-state operators are unable to list on the major US exchanges. Terry Cole will be confirmed as the new head of the DEA, and when he is confirmed, the stalled process to reschedule cannabis from a schedule I to a schedule III drug should resume. If cannabis is rescheduled, that will pave the way for further research, destigmatize it, and open the door to banking and uplisting of US multi-state operators to the major exchanges in the near future. This trade capitalizes on the fact that investors are not positioned for reform and further positive catalysts. The worst-case scenario is priced into the MSOS ETF, and when good news on rescheduling hits the tape, that should start a NEW Bull market in the MSOS cannabis stocks. 💠 Technical Setup: Bear Market • Multi-year bear market throughout the entire Biden administration on promises to reschedule that were never followed through on • Capitulation when Trump won the election on the prospect of potentially another 4 years of no reform Bearish to Bullish Technical Transition! • LT Stage 1A Bottom Signal (Price > 50D SMA) • ST Stage 2A Breakout (First day Price > 10D EMA and 20D SMA) • Hourly Chart – Breaking out above Weekly Value Area • Daily Chart – Trading above the Monthly Value Area • Overlapping prior monthly value areas in sight! • VPOC in sight! • Weekly Chart – Targeting a retest of the Yearly POC 💠 Trade Plan ENTRY: $2.72 (Break above weekly value area high) STOP: $1.97 (Below the prior all-time-low) TARGET: 6.92 (A retest of the yearly point of control from 2024) RISK: 27.6% REWARD: 154.4% R/R Multiple: 5.6X Probability of Win: 50% Expected Value: 63.42%

Pre-Market Prep 7.18.2025What it do, everyone! Here’s my pre-market prep for Friday, July 18th. Just to give you a quick overview, I'm using my prior value areas, the prior day's high and low, and the CVA levels from my market profile. I use all this history to help me plan my trades for the day. So, starting with the S&P, as of now we’re green across the board. We’re in balance up from the prior day’s range, value area, and the CVA. My main plan is to look for acceptance and a pullback to a confluence area for longs. If we get rotational and break out of that area, I’m ready to go short. For the NASDAQ, it's a similar story. We’re rotational in the prior value area and range, but we’re balanced up from the recent CVA. Right now, I’m waiting to see if we can confirm acceptance and then I’ll look for a short from that rotational area down to the prior value area low. In the Russell, I’m seeing clear acceptance above all levels, so a pullback to the confluence area for a long would be ideal. For Gold, I’m also seeing it in balance up on all fronts. My first move would be a long from the prior day’s high. If we drop a bit lower, I’ll be looking at that CVA and PVA area for another long. The Euro is a bit more mixed. We’re rotational in the prior day’s range but balanced up in the value area and CVA. I want to clear the prior day’s high before taking any big moves. The Yen is also rotational, so I’m looking to trade the extremes, maybe some scalps while we’re balanced in the prior value area. For the Aussie Dollar, we’re in balance up from the PVA, but rotational in the prior day’s range and CVA. I’m looking for shorts near the top area and longs at the bottom, staying out of the middle for now. And finally, Crude Oil is rotational on all fronts. My first plan is to look for shorts from the confluence area down to the prior day’s range. That’s my pre-market prep for today. Let’s trade smart. Happy Friday, peace!
