Tutorial
Very useful comicsBe like Alex, do not be like Jack!
Many of my students have a bad experience working with scam brokers.
I will tell you the story of one of them!
He decides to try different brokers and get a lot of bonuses from them......
Everyone loves to get a lot of attention. So, the managers of these brokers called him every few times a day.
They told many beautiful stories about a wonderful life with a bag of money, expensive vacation, sports cars, and personal Jet...))).
But when they talk about such things, they sit in a small room without air conditioning, dressed in cheap clothes and eating fast food.
Yes, he will get it all if he cheats you and hundreds of other novice traders!
Then you can think about the police, court, or indictment, but they just change their head office address and contact phone number.
They never refund money, except when you have a good influential friend.
I have two videos for you on my youtube channel.
The first one is about how to identify a cheating broker and the second one about how to choose a reliable broker.
I recommend that you check both of them and never make the same mistake as my friend.
He did not get his money back and that managers (traders, bots) are losing most of their deposit.
Be careful, take care of your money, take care of your nerves, take time... be like Alex!).

Learn the "Gann Fan" in just 3 StepsGann theory has been widely used in various fields of finance. To learn to apply the Gann angle line, two problems need to be solved, namely, point selection and volatility. The question about volatility is in the Gann angle line. This article will mainly talk about the problem of selecting points.
The selection point of the Gann angle line is generally selected from the important top and bottom. When selecting, you can judge which point to choose based on your actual operating experience. But depending on the long-term trend, you can choose the Gann angle line starting from zero, which will play a very important role in future predictions.
We took NASDAQ as an example. In the chart, We have learned how to apply the Gann fan to a chart or the trend. It's complicated, but I tried to make it easy to understand and easy to apply. I have used only 2 to 3 things to perfectly apply the Gann Fan.
Gann fan is useful to all the traders, It can be applied to all the time frame.
In the investment process, Many investors like to buy bottoms. This is everyone's ultimate pursuit. That's because every market has important tops and bottoms. Analysis of this position is to make your own funds safer, with minimal risks and greater profits. These will use the Gann angle line confluence position. The force formed at the intersection of the rising angle line and the falling angle line can often form a reversal trend.
In " Financial Analysis Trends ", the grades are divided as follows:
1×1 intersects with 1×1
1×2 intersects with 2×1
1×3 intersects with 3×1
1×4 and 4×1 intersect
1×1 intersects with 1×2 or 2×1
1×1 intersects with 1×3 or 3×1
1×1 intersects with 1×4 or 4×1
1×2 intersects with 1×4 or 4×1
Above is the information about the Gann fan for education purposes only.
The Butterfly Pattern, Tutorial (Basic)The Butterfly pattern, is a harmonic pattern discovered by Bryce Gilmore using his Wave trader software program.
The pattern structure was further refined using specific Fibonacci levels by Scott Carney which he outlined in his book 'The Harmonic Trader', published in 1998.
The Butterfly pattern must include an AB=CD pattern to be a valid signal. In general, the AB=CD Pattern will possess an extended CD leg that is 127.2% or 161.8% of the AB leg.
How to trade EMA
How to trade EMA
timeframe : 4 hour
Chart : MANABTC
price is holding 100 EMA (7 candle holding perfectly)
Good bounce off EMA 100 that's the good sign .. sideway accumulation complete
Bounce is confirmation wait for retest ( we made bounce they are ready to move pump it added many new buyer and than again dump it and after filing order taking it higher )
>buy retest of breakout of the bounce
make profit
The Gartley Pattern, Tutorial (Basic)The Gartley Pattern , is a harmonic pattern discovered by H M Gartley and outlined in his book 'Profits in the Stock market', published in 1935.
The pattern was further defined using specific Fibonacci levels by Scott Carney which he outlined in his book 'The Harmonic Trader', published in 1998.
The pattern incorporates the 78.6% retracement of XA, as the defining element in the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ).
The B point must be at the 61.8% retracement of XA. The Gartley utilizes a minimum 127.2% projection of BC.
In addition, the pattern should possess a distinct AB=CD pattern that converges in the same area as the 78.6% retracement of XA and the BC projection.
HEAD AND SHOULDER PATTERN ON GBP/JPY - June 2020YO TRADERS,
This is just an educational post.
Just thought of sharing how this HnS pattern formed and moved in the direction as expected. The video recorded is self explanatory on the formation of the pattern (Left shoulder - Head - Right Shoulder) formed between 3rd June 2020 and 11th June 2020.
As you can see in the video this is perfect HnS pattern forming on the 4H pattern. While this pattern is a perfect text book example, HnS patterns do not always turn up like these. But when they do its important to make the most of it.
After taking entry at the Neckline and price rejection the price moved 450+ pips in the downward direction before moving up again from the daily trendline. This is a positional trade and to achieve the max out of this you had to hold on to this trade for at least 10 days. The best way to maximise this was to use a trailing stop and then chill.
Hence, its always important to look out for such patterns being formed and most importantly identify them.
The no of trades you take are not important but the quality of one trade and riding on the profitable trade like this can make you a successful trader.
Hope this was useful.

Uptrend HH and HL Trading examplehow to spot uptrend
1) adding a trend line in the chart which works as a support .
2) breaking of downtrend
HH : previous high
HL : previous low
trading uptrend market is simple
here HH is acting as a support so take time and add a zone at the higher high and analyze the candle (hammer , pin bar) perfect and at the bounce add some in to portfolio.
HL : price retest this zone and break the HH and again retest the HH as a support .
Win rate. How to stay if profit zone...This painting is quite simple, but many novices can't use it because they don't have the patience.
So, they close their profitable positions with 1/1 or 1/2 risk/reward ratio.
But hold losses for a long time.
Hope this post will save your money and time.
You can be in profits even with low persentage of successfull trades but as you see only with 1/5 ratio!
Keep calm! Use predictable ratio! Become better every day!

NEM-XEM/USD 2666000% Trend Figures Psychology of a hamster 2-666In this training / trading idea, I showed the whole history of the price chart of this scam coin of high capitalization.
Pay attention to the increase in prices by 2666000% (26660 hamster X) for 2 years from January 18 (6 + 6 + 6) (01) 2016 to January 1 (01) 2018.
What strange figures are 2 years of an uptrend and an increase of 2-666-000%. Is it really a coincidence?)))) I think who truly understands what the number 666 means, and not through the religious prism of brainwashing, then everyone understands that there is no coincidence here.
Please note how, according to all the rules of technical analysis, all the patterns on the price chart worked out:
Lateral movement.
1) accumulation channel. (a breakthrough of resistance and the beginning of an uptrend).
Uptrend. +2666000%
2) ascendant pennant. (formation of the pennant web and pulse development to the height of the flagpole).
3) an ascending triangle. (bullish pattern, working off to the height of the triangle).
Downtrend. -98%
4) a downward wedge. (formed).
Entrance to the market.
Entrance on a breakthrough or pullback after a breakthrough of the resistance line of the downward wedge. Fixing the price above the downtrend main trend will mean a trend reversal and luring a new batch of “hamsters”.
Formerly hamsters who believed that they would become very rich in the near future, as a rule, after a while they sold at very low prices or so, when their faith to become a milleon was beaten heartbroken and disappointed.
A descending wedge is drawn very beautifully. The instrument is merged by -98% from the high. Super profits for a real trader and a skating rink for a believing hamster. Perhaps "soon" will be a trend reversal.
As you can see, the older the time frame, the more clearly the patterns are worked out and it is easier to predict the price movement.
Large timeframes are well suited for positional trading.
But it is very important that a crypto project, even if a scam, were people with big money who are interested in continuing to imitate the development of the project.
For example, how is this cryptocurrency NEM (XEM). It is very important that you can work not only long, but also short on margin trading. This allows you to earn on the downtrend of the coin.
But, nevertheless, in such coins you always need to withdraw a large part of the profit, and to continue to work with a complex percentage to get a new potential profit.
At one time, I had a rather significant loss of money when a tool like NEM suddenly evaporated. I traded coin for about 8 months. Several times increased profit from the original amount. With each profit, a part brought profit from the market. But at one point, the project "closed", tokens were removed from the exchange, trading stopped. As a result, the loss of a full position did not mean a loss, but a loss from profit, as I always deduced part of the profit. But if all this time I only accumulated coins (increased the amount), all profits would have turned to zero. And most importantly, it would be a pity for the lost time to trade this coin. Time has no price, it is priceless.
Therefore, always remember no matter what the true legend and imitation of the development of the project, you can never predict with 100% probability what those or other people who created the project will do.
On this coin NEM (XEM). They launch the Catapult technology on their blockchain for believing fools from 2017 before each secondary uptrend or during the downtrend to stop sales and give believers another sip of the sweet lie of hope.
Since 2017, they announced the launch of the catapult 6 times, they did not even change the legend. Why? The hamster is not a mammoth, it will not die out. In addition, hamsters have a complete loss of memory about events 1-2 years old.
This "technological coin" from
the maximum price fell -98%! Believers in becoming a millionaire in a year are likely to experience wild horror and misunderstanding! In the end, they were secretly told on the Internet that they needed to “manage to buy” this coin, otherwise the chance to become a millionaire in 1-2 years would be missed.
A person going to work from day to day from 8: 00-17: 00 with hard / not hard work, gets a salary, debugs money. For example, during the year he saved up $ 1,000 for investments. And then he heard “in confidence” that you can simply buy a certain coin and become a millionaire in 1-2 years. He was delighted because he believed that he would become very rich! He will no longer need to go to work every day!
And now, after 2 years, he discovers that with his invested amount of $ 1,000 in a promising technological coin for a comfortable life, only $ 20 is left !!! Everything acquired and delayed by hard work has simply depreciated! Indeed, for 2 years from 1000 to receive minus 98% of the investment is something. From $ 1,000, only $ 20 is left . But the investor proudly calls himself a "holder" !
The future millionaire is in shock. How did this happen? In the end, very clever experts from YouTube and telegrams showed him a price increase of 2,666,000% and said that the price would go up forever! Even if the investor - “holder” bought earlier, he does not sell at all! After all, he needs even more! After all, only stupid traders sell, holders always hold on to the end!
This hamster in the bull market had an opinion about himself that he was also an expert and professional. He considered himself very smart and experienced, smarter than other newly arrived hamsters for slaughter. The trend has changed, and the "smart investor" has become a deceived fool.
A stream of hamsters in cycles.
Some "die" - others are "born."
The hamster is not a mammoth, he will not die out.
I think the training article below will be very useful for those who "got into one of the thousands of promising crypto scam projects" and understand the complexity of the situation.
We make losing trades profitable. Martingale + Position Trading.
For true “lazy hamsters” those who like to buy everything indiscriminately at the market are forbidden to use martingale. This method in such hands still fast will lead to a drain of the deposit. Read the work of this trading method in the description.
Those people who are sure that success in trading depends on only one successful purchase and after a while to sell it many times more expensive is doomed to annul its deposit. This is what most think. So this is an erroneous opinion. Thanks to this belief of the majority, the minority earns.
Multi Timeframe Analysis - different supply/demand levelsHello all,
this lesson will be about my monthly/weekly, daily, 4h etc. supply/demands critical areas, so you can get a better idea why i use them. After you know the most basic thing about my analysis, we can start with the next baby steps in understanding price direction.
This also goes for all of the structures such as closed triangles, trendlines etc. on the higher timeframes.
I prefer using the term "supply and demands" since it is the correct one in economics. In other words supply and demand can be seen in every single product that is offered in a market.
Sorry for my mistakes, it took me more than 15 recording in order to get this one. Thank you!
Have a great trading week!
Plan Your Trades BEFORE Market OpenBefore the trading day starts its imperative to have a plan. This will keep you from making decisions on-the-spot which are usually emotionally driven. We all suffer from our emotions affecting our trading, so we need to do everything we can to limit these affects.
Make sure you are taking into account support and resistance on the monthly, weekly, daily, and 4 hour chart. You can drill down further to using 1 hour and 5 minute, or even a 1 minute or 30 second chart, but first you must have the other time frames charted out.
Make sure you only draw support and resistance lines that will trade on. Anything else is just noise and a distraction. Many new traders draw trend lines and support lines everywhere they see them, which will later overwhelm the trader and make it impossible to trade.
When you draw a trend line or support/resistance line, Tradingview gives you the option to select which time frames they appear on. So if you don't want your 5 minute trend lines appearing on your monthly chart, I suggest creating a template called "5 Minute" for trend lines and unchecking the higher time frames. This will give you a much cleaner chart.
I use arrows to dictate where I will long and short. I move them later into the day if they happen to get in the way.

the swap window When can I swap? And when does the swap window close?
About 4 months from the start of the contract initialization for users to swap their tokens.
The contract was initialized at timestamp 1,589,485,972 and will allow at least 9,676,800 seconds (about 4 months) to do the swap.
This means that the swap window will be opened until September 3, 2020 7:52:52 PM UTC, at the very minimum (1,589,485,972 + 9,676,800 = 1,599,162,772 UNIX).

How To Trade Extended Stocks? TJX & BJ 05/21 Case Study!Hi guys, today we'll touch once again on the topic of extended moves. Thursday gifted us with a picture-perfect comparison of 2 stocks gapping up. One worked flawlessly, second one didn't, however (guess in which I took my trade, d'uh...).
Takeaways from the video:
1) You can't tell successful follow-through from the daily graph itself. You have to watch how it behaves thorough the day. Volume and behavior on key levels are the most important factors here.
2) You may want to risk less initially, adding along the way as long as the stock fulfills your criteria.
Hope this helps you next time you see a nice gapper and possibly saves you some frustration!

Blox Will Also Move (How To Trade, General View)Patience is the key to success while trading, also having a plan before getting started... You can ask me, I learned the really hard way.
Looks like Blox (CDTBTC) it's done consolidating since prices are already moving above EMA50 (magenta line).
Since the first break of support in March, we have a wait of 70 days, for many people this is a very long time and they fail to wait, hoping to switch around and earn a fast buck.
It turns out that once you move out of a trade out of greed/desperation, the next one takes longer and the one you just sold starts to grow.
So think twice about how much you would wait before jumping in...
What to do if prices go down?
What to do if prices go up?
We always use a stop-loss, average around 15%-35%, and set our sell orders on target before the prices start to move up.
If prices drop we close the trade.
If prices move up we collect profits as the orders filled up.
I am just sharing my experience...
Make sure to do your own research...
And I wish you lots of success, health, wealth & love.
Namaste.
How a RETEST works - with Trade IDEA - Pullback explained(Note for professional Traders: If you have some experience on this strategy or
if you feel like something is missing, please comment, so everyone can benefit from it :) Thanks in advance!)
Hi Traders!
Have you ever been in this situation:
The market is clearly in an Uptrend.
Big, Green Candles moving up.
Making higher highs and lows.
Breaking all the major Resistance.
Because of all of this, you hit BUY.
Now...
The market makes a 180° U-turn.
You see your trade is losing.
The Big green candles are now red candles.
Falling towards the Support.
Let's move on...
You think, the Up-Trend is over now.
You now see some red candles in the chart.
You think the trend has changed.
You want to be the one how rides the huge Down-Trend.
You hit SELL.
OK...
The market uses this Support and is Continuing the Up-Trend!
Ouch :(
So, in this idea you'll discover what those so called "Retests" are.
Ask yourself: When does a Retest occur?
If you think correctly, you might have a picture of a breakout in your head.
This Breakout can be anything:
Support and Resistance
Trendline
Fibonacci Levels
Parallel Channel
SMA 20, 50, 200 ...
EMA or other trending indicators
etc. think of anything
After the Breakout the Retest can occur at any time.
NOTE: A Retest does not occur on every Breakout! The market occasionally breaks out without a Retest.
Here we listed some "sorts" of the Retest:
The "classic" Retest
This is the kind of Retest which you can find in every trading book.
Let's get an example:
The market just broke out from major Resistance.
Since there is price action in the movement, the price even moves a few pips further.
It suddenly stopped, made a 180° U-turn and it makes a Pullback.
It tested the previous Resistance (now it is a Support) and continues higher.
What you can use to predict the Retest is over:
- use the 20MA
In a strong Trend the 20MA is often the key level many traders are watching.
So if you notice that the market and the 20MA are far away from each other, than wait for a Retest.
If both are touching each other, the market often continues higher.
- use false breakouts
If you notice that the Support gets broken and fastly comes back, this is a sign that bullish power exists.
Buy the False Break.
- use other indicators
It is also possible to trade it with Bollinger Bands or Parabolic SAR...
The long Retest
As you can see in the third example of the chart, the market broke out and immediatly retests the trendline.
Then it moved very long on the other side of the trendline and finally moves further.
If you zoom in, you can notice a little Trendline which gets broken.
This could serve as an Entry Trigger.
Watch out for other sorts
These Retests can - as every pattern in trading - come up in every kind.
You have to watch it yourself!
In the chart of USDCAD we highlighted three (potentially four) Examples of the Retest.
We hope that we helped you with this idea.
Please like, follow and comment!
Thanks and successful Trading :)!
Bitcoin - What is GAP?You may have noticed that I often use the word GAP, after many questions about what it is. I thought I'd tell you.
What is GAP?
If translated verbatim, a GAP (GAP) is a gap, the difference between quotes on Friday and the opening of the market on Monday. And if the difference between the closing price on Friday and the opening on Monday is significant, then a jump will occur. That is, the price is noticeably higher or lower than the price that was on Friday and it is clearly visible on the chart, as in the example below:
We can see that the closing price on Friday was about $9295 and the opening price on Monday was $9705. That is about 410 points higher than the closing price on Friday:
And this gap, which is formed between the market close price on Friday and the opening price on Monday, is called the GAP. Naturally, a GAP is not always formed. On average, it can be seen once a month and is more common in Forex and stock markets. Sometimes more often, sometimes less often, but the fact is that GAPs happen and you can make money on them.
Why do GAPs happen?
GAPs occur because during the time when the market is not active, namely over the weekend, a certain number of sell and buy orders are accumulated. And when the market opens on the night from Sunday to Monday, these very orders collapse and create a jump, as we saw on the chart earlier.
Of course, this does not always happen, but only when there is a significant advantage in Buy or Sell orders accumulated over the weekend. Market makers see a huge number of Buy or Sell orders and, accordingly, we see the price visually above or below the market close values on Friday.
As for the crypt currency: the futures market does not work over the weekend, while the crypt currency exchanges work 24/7, the price during the weekend can be called.
It is worth noting one important point. As a rule, GAPs tend to close.
Let us consider an example:
Why do GAPs tend to close?
The fact is that when the market opens significantly higher or significantly lower than Friday's price, then many orders are activated, many pending orders to buy or sell. Naturally, the stops of these orders are located near the Friday closing price. And thus market makers try to knock out the stops of those guys whose orders have worked at the opening of the market and take their money for themselves.
After the gap was closed, the market can go absolutely in any direction. There are no special regularities here. In general, the gap tends to close, but sometimes it happens that there is a jump in opening prices on Monday, and it continues. It happens only when there is a strong trend movement or some fundamental factors come into play. For example, something could have happened in the economy over the weekend. That is, there is a tendency to close, but not always. You should keep that in mind!
The probability of closing the gap is ≈ 70%

Micro-trend exploitationI share a lessons learned with small time frame trend exploitation. Note that not because it's a small timeframe means it's insignificant. Small trends run for many hours and can accrue hundreds of points, as I show.
This methodology is specifically about trend following. It requires practice preferably on demo or paper accounts, in order to acquire skill.
