Technical Analysis

Back to Basics - How I analyse markets..1. I look first at a daily chart and determine what is the trend. For the US dollar Index this is quite an interesting juncture - it has been in a down trend since September 2022, but has recently rallied from 100.69 to about 104.00. Is this just a correction higher or could this be a change of trend? 2. To answer that question I look at longer term charts. Firstly, the monthly chart and I note that the market has recently bounced from its 20-month ma and that the long-term trend for the Dollar remains bullish. Then I look at the weekly chart and I immediately notice a key week reversal from a couple of weeks ago and I also note that the 103.96 level is a key level of resistance, not only is it the 23.6% retracement of the move down from the September peak, but also the high seen in 2020. 3. So the break of down trend, the key week reversal and the bullish long-term trend suggest that upside pressure for the US Dollar may be attempting to reassert. 4. I go back to the daily chart, and I note the relationship of price to the moving averages (I use 20, 55, 200 day simple moving averages). I note that the market recently tested and held the 20-day ma around 102.50. That both DMI and RSI are neutral, and that cloud resistance also comes in around 104.00. So clearly the 104.00 region on the chart is tough resistance. What I am doing is noting the support and resistance levels. 5. My analysis leads me to the conclusion that the market is in consolidation mode short term, but for now while above the 20-day ma we are willing to give the upside the benefit of the doubt as we have recently seen a key week reversal below the market.

The importance of looking at long term chartsThis is a Back-to-Basics video demonstrating the importance of looking at long term charts. This is a monthly chart of EUR/USD, which means every bar contains one month of trading data. Even for intraday traders it is important to know where the 'big' levels are and where the long-term trend for a market is. First level of note is the 61.8% retracement at .9620 of the entire move from 1985 to 2008, the market bounced from this zone in September 2022. The second thing I note is the importance of leaving previous trendlines on the chart. The one on here is the old uptrend drawn from 2000, connecting the 2017 and 2020 lows. This now comes in at 1.1025 and acted as superb resistance for the market recently. It has provoked quite an emphatic failure and it does suggest that the longer term trend for EUR/USD remains firmly down (bearish).

AMD TRADE IDEASI'm loving how AMD looks across the board! On the Daily, we have the 200 holding as support at 79, and the 10ma holding it as resistance around 82.56. MACD is starting to show weakness on the D with the histogram fading and losing momentum and it looks as if the MACD line is about to cross below he signal line. I will look to enter towards the downside if we break below 80, with a target of 78, and a break below there to fill the gap down to 75. if we see strength with AMD, I will look to enter above 82.80, with targets of 84.20, 86, and 88.20

AMZN TRADE IDEAS 2/13-2/17AMZN consolidating on the primary trend line and the wedge of the secondary trend line. A break above the daily 100ma, at 99.75, I'll look to take it to 101.18, 103.63. Between the 200ma, 100ma, and 50ma, AMZN has rejected the primary trend line and broke below a key level at 103.63 and closed below both the 200 and 100ma. The next Moving Average support level down is the 50ma, sitting at 93. A break below 95.75 and I profit target 94, 92.75. A break below the daily 50ma and I will have the demand zone of 85 in sights!

What I've learned after backtesting So, I love backtesting. Recently I've found my self in a 3% drawdown and needed to figure out what the cause of it was and trading at this moment won't give me that answer. So, I decided to backtest. Here is what I found: 1. I'm overtrading my system I am a proud swing trader who got back into scalping the market in December 2022. It was mot my idea, but I thought I could handle it. I started out great, but then the market reminded me why I left the lower timeframes. 2. I'm not holding my trades long enough. Thanks Prop Firms! Since joining a prop firm my mind has been changed to holding trades for less time than I normally would. I don't mind holding trades for weeks or months, but prop firms give you time limits during evaluation periods. That was and still is a huge adjustment for me. Being a swing trader means I have to let my profits run. So, now, I've found a prop firm that will allow me to hold my trades with no time limits. 3. Not holding trades to my weekly and monthly targets. I need to see past my daily targets. Normally my daily risk to rewards are between 1:1 and 1:2. I'm in drawdown because I'm not recovering from my losses with these risk to rewards. So now, I'm only taking trades with RR over 1:2 and better. This way I'm trading less, holding longer(sometimes), and getting the best bank for my buck. Backtesting helped me see my mistakes and how to correct them. This is called fixing your strategy. Notice how I'm not changing my strategy. I'm tweaking my strategy to fit my mental capacity and trading style. If you find you're in a drawdown and can't see, stop trading and backtest what you're currently doing and find a way to stop the behavior thats causing your drawdown. Then, stop doing that particular thing so you can see better results. I pray this has helped you. Let me know your key takeaway by commenting below.

LYFT SWING TRADE IDEAAfter news came out about their new initiative to give people on the way to a job interview a free ride, my eyes have been on LYFT. I immediately took note of their fundamentals.. whew! In its history, its only missed earnings twice! In my opinion, LYFT has longevity potential! With earnings coming up next Thursday, I love the position this stock is sitting in right now! It has come to meet a major supply zone and the primary trend line, around 17.45. A break and retest of this zone and I will look to take it up towards 20.50. If we reject this supply zone and trend line, I will look to take it down towards 13.85
