Best Technical Indicator to Identify Order Block & Imbalance Your ability to correctly identify Order Blocks on a price chart is essential for profitable trading Smart Money Concept. In this article, I will show you a great technical indicator that will help you to spot Order Blocks on any financial market. First, in brief, let me give you my definition of Order Block. The problem is that in SMC trading there is no one single definition of that and many traders interpret it differently. To me, an Order Block is a specific zone on a chart from where a strong price movement initiates and where a significant imbalance between supply and demand occurs . This imbalance should strictly originate from a liquidity zone. That definition implies that in order to identify an Order Block zone, one should learn to properly identify the imbalance and liquidity zones. And again, there is no precise definition of an imbalance on a price chart. To me, a bullish imbalance is a formation of a bullish engulfing candle - the one that engulfs a range of previous bearish candle with its body. Above is the example of a valid Order Block on GBPUSD. A bearish imbalance is a formation of a bearish engulfing candle - the one that engulfs a range of a previous bullish candle with its body. Above, you can see the example of an Order Block on USDCAD, based on a bearish imbalance. There is one technical indicator that will help you to recognize such Order Blocks. It is called " All Candlestick Patterns" on TradingView. Open settings of the indicator and make it show ONLY Engulfing Candles and choose "No Detection" in "Detect Trends Based on". After that, hide the indicator and first, Identify the liquidity zones on a chart and wait for a test of one of these zones. Here is a test of a liquidity zone on NZDUSD on an hourly time frame. After that, turn on the indicator, and wait for its signal. You can see that after some time, the price formed a bullish imbalance with a bullish engulfing candle. The indicator highlight that candle. The Order Block zone will be based on the lowest low of 2 candles and the high of a bearish candle preceding the imbalance. One more example. We see a test of a significant liquidity zone on EURAUD on a 4H time frame. We turn on the indicator and look for a signal. A bearish imbalance is formed and the indicator immediately notifies us. An Order Block Zone in that case will be the area based on the highest high of 2 candles and the low of a bullish candle preceding the imbalance . Of course, there will be the rare cases when the indicator will miss the imbalances. But while you are learning to recognize Order Blocks, this indicator will definitely help you a lot!

Mastering the Stochastic RSI - Guide to Spotting Momentum ShiftsIntroduction In the world of technical analysis, momentum indicators are essential tools for understanding market sentiment and potential price movements. One such tool is the Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI), a unique and highly sensitive variation of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI). While the standard RSI focuses on price, the Stoch RSI takes it a step further by measuring the momentum of the RSI itself. This makes it a faster-reacting and more dynamic indicator that many traders use to anticipate trend shifts and spot overbought or oversold conditions earlier. What is the Stochastic RSI? The Stochastic RSI (Stoch RSI) is a momentum oscillator that operates similarly to the RSI but with a twist — instead of measuring the price of an asset, it measures the movement of the RSI. Because of this, the Stoch RSI is typically more sensitive and quicker to respond to changes in market momentum. It consists of two lines: * The blue line: The primary line that reacts quickly and shows when the RSI is gaining or losing momentum. * The orange line: A moving average of the blue line, which acts as a smoother version to help filter out noise and highlight potential turning points. How to Read the Stoch RSI The Stoch RSI moves between 0 and 100, and traders often focus on the 20 and 80 levels as key thresholds: Above 80 (Overbought): Indicates that the RSI has been running hot compared to recent values. This suggests strong upward momentum that could be due for a slowdown or minor correction. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean the price will drop immediately, just that conditions are extended. Below 20 (Oversold): Suggests the RSI has been suppressed, signaling weakening bearish momentum and a possible reversal upward. Again, this isn’t a guaranteed bounce but rather a situation where a shift may be more likely. How to Trade with the Stoch RSI While entering overbought or oversold zones can offer insight, trading solely based on those levels is risky. Instead, look for crossovers between the blue and orange lines: Bearish signal: When the Stoch RSI is above 80 and the blue line crosses below the orange line, it can indicate that bullish momentum is fading — a potential short entry. Bullish signal: When the Stoch RSI is below 20 and the blue line crosses above the orange line, it may suggest that bearish momentum is weakening — a potential long entry. These crossover points provide more reliable signals than the levels alone, especially when confirmed by price action or other indicators. What Timeframes to Use The Stoch RSI can be applied to any timeframe, but its effectiveness varies. On lower timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts), it generates many signals, including plenty of false or weak ones. For stronger and more reliable signals, it’s best used on higher timeframes such as the 4-hour, daily, weekly, or monthly charts. Generally, the higher the timeframe, the more significant the signal becomes. Conclusion The Stochastic RSI is a powerful indicator that combines the strengths of the RSI and Stochastic Oscillator to deliver sharper, more responsive momentum signals. While it’s tempting to act on overbought or oversold readings alone, true effectiveness comes from understanding the behavior of the two lines and using it in conjunction with other analysis tools. Whether you're a short-term trader or a long-term investor, mastering the Stoch RSI can add depth to your strategy and help you make more informed decisions.

Breakout trading (Title) Breakout trading starts with finding support and resistance points ------------------------------- Hello, traders. If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly. Please click "Boost" as well. Have a nice day today. ------------------------------------- I will take the time to talk about breakout trading. This is my opinion, so the content may be lacking. The reason I did not explain what other people say with examples is because trading is a psychological battle. Most of the content in books or on the Internet is explained with patterns. However, it is not easy to find patterns when checking the movement of a real-time chart. Therefore, I think it is more important to understand why such movements occur than to explain them with patterns. Therefore, I think it is better to create a trading strategy by finding support and resistance points and checking whether or not they are supported by the support and resistance points rather than memorizing patterns. Breakout trading refers to starting a transaction after checking whether there is support at a point or section when the price rises above a certain point or section, and there is a possibility of a larger rise. If you do a breakout trade incorrectly, you may end up buying at a high point, which could result in a large loss, so it is recommended to always keep a stop loss point when trading. In order to reduce the stop loss, you need to make an effort to lower the average purchase price by selling in installments when the price rises after purchasing and buying in installments when the price falls again. Therefore, the stop loss point is when it is beyond the range you can handle. - Let's take the BTCUSDT 1D chart as an example. It has fallen after renewing the ATH. Looking at the current price position, it feels like it will fall further. However, if the price rises to around the HA-Low indicator on the 1D chart, that is, around 89294.25, you will feel like it will turn into an uptrend. Even if you think that you won't feel that way now, you will feel that way after it rises. Therefore, the most important thing in breakout trading is to find important support and resistance points. To find support and resistance points, you need to basically understand candles. Any book or video about candles will do. I recommend that you don't try to memorize the content in it, but read or watch it repeatedly several times. In my case, after watching the video about candles about 3 times, my understanding of the chart became easier. The reason for finding support and resistance points is to select a trading point. What you need to find support and resistance is a horizontal line. It is not easy to start trading with chart tools that are not horizontal lines but diagonal lines or curves. The reason is that when you try to start a trade, you are more likely to miss the timing because your psychological state is added. - You can see that the uptrend started when it broke through the 73072.41 point. Therefore, you can see that it is possible that the uptrend will start when it breaks through the 106133.74 point this time as well. However, in this case, since it is rising while renewing the ATH, it is a point where it is thought to be difficult to actually start trading. In other words, it is likely that you will be reluctant to trade because it is thought to be a high point. Therefore, as I mentioned earlier, the actual breakout trade will be conducted when it breaks through the 89294.25 point. Then, even if it rises to around the 106133.74 point, you will be more likely to respond stably without feeling much psychological anxiety. - However, there is one problem. That is, the StochRSI indicator is currently in the overbought zone. Therefore, when it rises near the 89294.25 point and confirms support, the StochRSI indicator should show a downward trend from the overbought zone. Otherwise, the 89294.25 point is likely to act as a resistance point. Even if the market is messy and difficult to predict, you should not be too busy finding support and resistance points. After all, you need to have a standard for creating a trading strategy to start trading. It is better to create a trading strategy and respond at the support and resistance points you have selected if possible. Even if you suffer a loss, if you continue to trade, you will be able to better organize the support and resistance points. For reference, the indicators that can create a trading strategy on my chart are the HA-Low and HA-High indicators. - Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a successful trade. --------------------------------------------------

How Momentum Divergence Reveals Hidden Market Strength and WeaknMost traders watch price action closely: candlesticks, moving averages, trendlines. But there’s a deeper, less obvious layer of information that often signals shifts in direction before price confirms it: momentum. 📌 Quick overview – what you'll learn: What momentum divergence is (clearly explained) How it helps predict potential trend shifts Practical ways to spot and trade divergences 📈 Price vs Momentum: They're Not the Same! Momentum doesn't simply track price direction. Instead, it measures the strength behind price movements. Rising prices, falling momentum often signals upcoming bearish reversals. Falling prices, rising momentum often hints at bullish reversals building beneath the surface. These subtle divergences are powerful because they reveal hidden market shifts before everyone else notices them. ⚠️ How to Spot Momentum Divergence (Simple Steps): Step-by-step: - Find clear price swings: Clearly defined highs/lows on your chart. - Check momentum indicators (RSI, MACD, CCI, etc.): Does the indicator agree or disagree with the price action? - Spot divergence: Bullish divergence: Price makes lower lows, indicator shows higher lows. Bearish divergence: Price makes higher highs, indicator shows lower highs. - Confirmation: Always wait for price confirmation like a reversal candle or break of a trendline. 🔥 Why Momentum Divergence Works: Divergence highlights hidden accumulation or distribution by smart money. Helps you anticipate reversals before price confirms. Filters out weak moves and helps you avoid fake breakouts. 📊 Real Example (XAUUSD – April 2025): Recently in Gold: Price was dropping steadily, reaching new lows. Meanwhile, RSI showed clear higher lows – classic bullish divergence. Result: Price exploded significantly shortly after momentum divergence appeared clearly. 🧠 Trading Tips to Remember: Divergence signals are stronger near key support/resistance zones. Use momentum divergence with your existing strategy for confirmation, not isolation. Always define your risk clearly (set stops above/below recent highs/lows). 🚩 Common Pitfalls to Avoid: Trading divergence without confirmation: always wait for the market to show its hand. Ignoring the bigger picture: check higher timeframes for stronger signals. Overtrading: not every divergence leads to a reversal; quality beats quantity. 🚀 Your Action Plan for Next Week: Pick one momentum indicator and identify at least 3 divergences on your favorite assets. Monitor how they play out. Note down what works best in your trading journal. 💬 Question for you: What’s your go-to momentum indicator when spotting divergence? RSI, MACD, CCI, or something else?

Instructional for my brother. IThis is a bad swing trade, it is under the 180 day moving average. You wouldn't enter this using a swing trading system alone, its more advanced to identify. But you can see the yellow line I drew, that is strong resistance. That means the price don't want to go below that line. I put what a trade would look like on it. You see how in this trade there is much more green than red? That is a good risk to reward ration. Now here is CBOE. See how the green and red of this projected trade are nearly equal? Yeah, that is a bad risk to reward ration. At a 1:1 (that is for each dollar you can gain, you are risking) you are at a coin toss odds. Which is better than gambling but isn't trading. You pretty much have the gist of Bravo simple trading, these are more advanced things. IF you are trading, you want to know where you will set your stop loss and where you will set your take profit BEFORE you buy anything. And then set those with the trade. That way you know beforehand what a worse case scenario looks like. If you do this, you will very likely succeed in the long run.

RSI 101: Revealing the Special Characteristics of RSIWhy does RSI have support and resistance levels at 40 and 60? Why does divergence happen between RSI and price? What is RSI momentum? All the characteristics of RSI (that I know) will be explained here. Formula and Meaning If you are using TradingView, you probably already know what RSI is and what "overbought" and "oversold" mean. So, I won’t repeat it here. Instead, I’ll dive deeper into the true nature of RSI, giving you a different perspective. You can skip the mathematical formula of RSI, it’s already discussed everywhere online. Just remember this ratio table: Here’s how I explain the table: At RSI = 50, the average gain equals the average loss (I'll call this the buy/sell ratio). This is a balanced point. Buyers and sellers are equally strong. At RSI ~ 60 (66.66), the buy/sell ratio = 2/1. Buyers are twice as strong as sellers. At RSI ~ 40 (33.33), the buy/sell ratio = 1/2. Sellers are twice as strong as buyers. At RSI = 80, the buy/sell ratio = 4/1. Buyers are four times stronger. At RSI = 20, the buy/sell ratio = 1/4. Sellers are four times stronger. The formula shows that when RSI reaches 80 or 20, the buyer or seller is extremely strong — about four times stronger — confirming a clear trend. At these levels, some Trading strategies suggest placing a Sell or Buy based on the overbought/oversold idea. But for me, that’s not the best way. The right approach is: when a trend is clearly formed, we should follow it. I'll explain why right below. Look at this chart showing RSI changes with the buy/sell ratio: When RSI > 50: When RSI < 50: You can see that the higher RSI goes, the slower it climbs, but the high buy/sell ratio makes price move up faster. Similarly, when RSI goes lower, it drops slower but price drops faster. That’s why at overbought (RSI=80) or oversold (RSI=20) areas, you need to be careful. Even a small RSI moving can lead to big price changes, easily hitting your stop loss. On the other hand, if you follow the trend and wait for RSI to pull back, you will trade safer and more profitably. RSI Key Levels Here are some special RSI levels I personally find useful when observing FX:XAUUSD : (These levels are relative. They might vary with different timeframes or trading pairs. Check historical data to find the right ones for you. On bigger timeframes like M15 or above, the accuracy is better.) RSI = 20 When RSI hits 20, sellers dominate. This confirms a trend reversal to bearish. RSI = 80 When RSI hits 80, buyers dominate. This confirms a trend reversal to bullish. RSI = 40 This is a sensitive level. Sellers start gaining the upper hand (sell/buy = 2/1). If buyers lose 40, they lose their advantage. So RSI >= 40 is "buyer territory". In an uptrend, RSI usually stays above 40. RSI = 40 acts as support in an uptrend. RSI = 60 Same idea. RSI <= 60 is "seller territory". RSI = 60 acts as resistance in a downtrend. 40 and 60 are considered the key levels of RSI. Now you guys know why RSI has support/resistance around 40/60! RSI Range As you know, RSI moves between 0 and 100. Since RSI >= 40 is buyer territory, we can see the relationship between price and RSI: When RSI stays above 40, price tends to move in an uptrend: When RSI stays below 60, price tends to move in a downtrend: When RSI stays between 40 and 60, buyers and sellers are balanced, and price moves sideways in a box: When RSI is moving, It creates a RSI Range. Whenever the trend switches between the three states — uptrend, sideways, and downtrend — a Range Shift is formed. At first, RSI moves in 40-60 range, price moves sideways. A strong price move pushes RSI to 80. Later, RSI stays above 50, helping price grow strongly. When momentum fades, RSI returns to 40-60 and price moves sideways again. Note: RSI reflects Dow Theory by showing the stages of accumulation, growth, and distribution. And as you see, when RSI touches key levels, the trend often pulls it back. RSI Momentum Price momentum means how fast price changes.RSI momentum represents the change in the strength between buying and selling forces. When RSI > 50: If price falls, RSI shows high momentum — RSI drops fast but price drops slowly. If price rises, RSI shows low momentum — RSI rises slowly but price rises fast. For example, at first RSI is above 50. Price drops from (a) to (b) by 44 units, RSI drops from (Ra) to (Rb) by 25 units. Later, RSI drops from (Rb) to (Rc) (also 25 units) but price drops from (b) to (c) by 73 units. When RSI < 50: If price falls, RSI has low momentum — RSI drops slowly but price falls fast. If price rises, RSI has high momentum — RSI rises fast but price rises slowly. RSI and Price Divergence Divergence happens when price and RSI move in opposite directions: Price goes up but RSI goes down, or vice versa. Why does divergence happen? In a strong downtrend, price forms a bottom at point (1), and RSI drops to level (r1). When a price pullback happens, price pushes up to a peak at point (2), and RSI also bounces back to level (r2). Because the downtrend is strong, after completing the pullback (1-2), price continues to make a lower bottom at point (3). At this point, remember the behavior of RSI momentum when RSI is below 50: It takes a large price drop (from 2 to 3) to cause a small RSI drop (from r2 to r3). Meanwhile, even a small price increase (from 1 to 2) causes a large RSI rise (from r1 to r2). Since the distance (1-2) is smaller than (2-3), but the RSI move (r1-r2) is bigger than (r2-r3), divergence is created. Divergence shows that the current trend is very strong, not a complete signal of a trend reversal. (I might share with you how to spot a complete RSI reversal signal in future posts.) As shown in the example above, after forming bottom (5) and creating a bullish divergence between (3-5) and (r3-r5), price still kept dropping sharply while RSI kept rising. In these areas, if you keep trying to catch a reversal just based on divergence, you will likely need to DCA or cut your losses many times. That’s why the most important thing in trading is always to follow the trend. RSI Exhaustion RSI Exhaustion happens when RSI keeps getting rejected by a resistance or support zone and can’t break through. After a strong downtrend, RSI recovers but stalls around the 5x zone. It tries many times but fails, showing buying power is weakening. Then the downtrend continues: Exhaustion near high or low RSI levels creates stronger divergences than exhaustion in the middle range: Double or triple tops/bottoms on RSI (M or W shapes) basically indicate RSI exhaustion. RSI Can Identify Trend Strength In an uptrend: If RSI pulls back to a higher level before going up again, the trend is stronger. The pullback should not fall too deep (below 40). Example: First rally: RSI drops to 60 before rising again → strong rally (273 units). Second rally: RSI drops to 50 before rising again → weaker rally (94 units). Same idea for a downtrend: If RSI pullbacks to 50 then drops again, the downtrend is stronger than if it pullbacks to 60. RSI Support and Resistance Besides 40-60 acting as support/resistance, RSI also reacts to old tops and bottoms it created. Why does this happen? RSI is calculated from closing prices. On a higher timeframe, the candle close price is a high/low or support/resistance price on lower timeframes. When RSI moves in a trend on a higher timeframe, it maintains a buy/sell ratio, forcing lower timeframe RSI to oscillate within a range. Example: On H4, RSI stays above 40 → uptrend. It makes H1 RSI move between 30-80. Sharp RSI tops/bottoms react even stronger because they show strong buying/selling forces. Summary When looking at the price chart, we can see that price can rise or fall freely without any defined boundaries. However, RSI operates differently: it always moves within a fixed range from 0 to 100. During its movement, RSI forms specific patterns that reflect the behavior of price. Because RSI has a clear boundary, identifying its characteristics and rules becomes easier compared to analyzing pure price action. By studying RSI patterns, we can make better assumptions and predict future price trends with higher accuracy. I have shared with you the core characteristics of RSI, summarized as follows: Besides overbought (80) and oversold (20), RSI respects 40 and 60. 40 is support level in an uptrend. 60 is resistance level in a downtrend. In an uptrend, RSI stays above 40. In a downtrend, RSI stays below 60. An RSI Range-Shift leads to a trend change. RSI Divergence shows strong trends. Double or triple tops/bottoms show RSI exhaustion → potential reversals. The higher the RSI level, the slower it moves, but the faster the price rises. The lower the RSI level, the slower it moves, but the faster the price falls. A strong uptrend can be identified when RSI moves within a higher range or shows continuous bearish divergences. A strong downtrend can be identified when RSI moves within a lower range or shows continuous bullish divergences. RSI reacts to its old tops and bottoms. Sharper RSI peaks show stronger selling. Sharper RSI bottoms show stronger buying. In the next parts, I’ll show you how to apply these RSI's Characteristics to trend analysis, multi-timeframe analysis, and trading strategies, that you might have never seen before. I trade purely with RSI. Follow me for deep dives into RSI-based technical analysis and discussions!

Learning The Excess Phase Peak Pattern : How To Identify/Use ItThis new tutorial video is for all the new followers I have on TradingView who don't understand the Excess Phase Peak pattern (EPP) yet. I received a question from a new follower yesterday about the EPP patterns. He/She could not understand what they were or how to use/identify them. This video should help you understand what the EPP patterns are, how to identify them, how to trade with them, and how to identify/use proper expectations with them. I hope this video is informative and clear. Remember, price only does two things... FLAG or TREND - NOTHING ELSE And the EPP pattern is the CORE STRUCTURE of price that happens on all charts, all intervals, and all the time. The second pattern, the Cradle pattern, is part of the EPP pattern, but it acts as another price construct related to how to identify opportunities in price action.

Trading A Divergence Trade (Breakdown) with Pivots and LiquidityTrading divergences was always a problem for me in the past. I did the same thing you did and got it wrong every time. I was trading divergences when i saw them instead of realizing a divergence is a flip of support and resistance levels. I just needed to know where they are. In this video: Internal vs External Pivot divergence confirmation: You can have two types of pivots on your chart. One for long term and one for short term. Using them to confirm short and long term price action is intuitive as youll be able to see the market squeezing on the short term while knowing where your long term price structure exists. Price action to Divergence Confirmation: A divergence on a short term pivot is an indication of short term loss of trend or reversal. If the short term has no divergence but the long term does, you are about to end up with some pretty large price moves. Youll be confirming the divergence by looking for highs, lows, and closes moving the wrong way from current price action. This video will give you a method you can use to draw out your support zone / resistance zone / divergence zone and use them to your advantage. The "Divergence Zone" that you draw out is the very reason why so many people fail at divergences. Bare in mind that when you have a divergence, support and resistance are on the WRONG sides as their normally are so you'll learn here how to find those zones as well. Then in the end of the video ill show you how to use lower timeframes to confirm the new move of the market. Thanks, everyone. For coming through to the CoffeeShop.

Trump's Tariff Wars : Why It Is Critical To Address Global TradeThis video, a continuation of the Trump's Tariff Wars video I created last week, tries to show you why it is critically important that we, as a nation, address the gross imbalances related to US trade to global markets that are resulting in a $1.5-$1.8 TRILLION deficit every fiscal year. There has been almost NOTHING done about this since Trump's last term as President. Our politicians are happy to spend - spend - spend - but none of them are worries about the long-term fiscal health of the US. (Well, some of them are worried about it - but the others seem to be completely ignorant of the risks related to the US). Trump is raising this issue very early into his second term as president to protect ALL AMERICANS. He is trying to bring the issue into the news to highlight the imbalances related to US trade throughout the world. When some other nation is taking $300B a year from the us with an unfair tariff rate - guess what, we need to make that known to the American consumer because we are the ones that continue to pay that nation the EXTRA every year. Do you want to keep paying these other nations a grossly inefficient amount for cheap trinkets, or do you want our politicians and leaders to take steps to balance the trade deficits more efficiently so we don't pass on incredible debt levels to our children and grandchildren? So many people simply don't understand what is at risk. Short-term - the pain may seem excessive, but it may only last 30, 60, 90 days. Long-term - if we don't address this issue and resolve it by negotiating better trade rates, this issue will destroy the strength of the US economy, US Dollar, and your children's future. Simply put, we can't keep going into debt without a plan to attempt to grow our GDP. The solution to this imbalance is to grow our economy and to raise taxes on the uber-wealthy. We have to grow our revenues and rebalance our global trade in an effort to support the growth of the US economy. And, our politicians (till now) have been more than happy to ignore this issue and hide it from the American people. They simply didn't care to discuss it or deal with it. Trump brought this to the table because it is important. I hope you now see HOW important it really is.

RSI 101: Scalping Strategy with RSI DivergenceFX:XAUUSD I'm an intraday trader, so I use the H1 timeframe to identify the main trend and the M5 timeframe for entry confirmation. How to Determine the Trend To determine the trend on a specific timeframe, I rely on one or more of the following factors: 1. Market Structure We can determine the trend by analyzing price structure: Uptrend: Identified when the market consistently forms higher highs and higher lows. This means price reaches new highs in successive cycles. Downtrend: Identified when the market consistently forms lower highs and lower lows. Price gradually declines over time. 2. Moving Average I typically use the EMA200 as the moving average to determine the trend. If price stays above the EMA200 and the EMA200 is sloping upwards, it's considered an uptrend. Conversely, if price is below the EMA200 and it’s sloping downwards, it signals a downtrend. 3. RSI I'm almost use RSI in my trading system. RSI can also indicate the phase of the market: If RSI in the 40–80 range, it's considered an uptrend. If RSI in 20 -60 range, it's considered a downtrend. In addition, the WMA45 of the RSI gives us additional trend confirmation: Uptrend: WMA45 slopes upward or remains above the 50 level. Downtrend: WMA45 slopes downward or stays below the 50 level. Trading Strategy With this RSI divergence trading strategy, we first identify the trend on the H1 timeframe: Here, we can see that the H1 timeframe shows clear signs of a new uptrend: Price is above the EMA200. RSI is above 50. WMA45 of RSI is sloping upward. To confirm entries, move to the M5 timeframe and look for bullish RSI divergence, which aligns with the higher timeframe (H1) trend. RSI Divergence, in case you're unfamiliar, happens when: Price forms a higher high while RSI forms a lower high, or Price forms a lower low while RSI forms a higher low. RSI divergence is more reliable when the higher timeframe trend remains intact (as per the methods above), indicating that it’s only a pullback in the bigger trend, and we’re expecting the smaller timeframe to reverse back in line with the main trend. Stop-loss: Set your stop-loss 20–30 pips beyond the M5 swing high/low. Or if H1 ends its uptrend and reverses. Take-profit: At a minimum 1R (risk:reward). Or when M5 ends its trend. You can take partial profits to optimize your gains: Take partial profit at 1R. Another part when M5 ends its trend. The final part when H1 ends its trend. My trading system is entirely based on RSI, feel free to follow me for technical analysis and discussions using RSI.

Example of how to draw a trend line using the StochRSI indicator Hello, traders. If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly. Please click "Boost" as well. Have a nice day today. ------------------------------------- I have explained how to draw a trend line before, but I will take the time to explain it again so that it is easier to understand. - When drawing a trend line, it must be drawn on the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts. However, since I focused on understanding the concept of drawing a trend line and the volatility period that can be seen with a trend line, I will explain it only with a trend line drawn on the 1D chart. Please note that in order to calculate a somewhat accurate volatility period, support and resistance points drawn on the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts are required. I hope this was helpful for understanding my thoughts on the concept of drawing trend lines and how to interpret them. The main reason for drawing trend lines like this is so that anyone who sees it can immediately understand why such a trend line was drawn. Then, there will be no unnecessary disagreements about the drawing, and each person will be able to share their opinions on the interpretation. -------------------------- When drawing trend lines, the StochRSI indicator is used. The reason is to secure objectivity. When the StochRSI indicator touches the oversold zone and rises, the low corresponding to the peak is connected to draw a trend line between low points. And, when the StochRSI indicator touches the overbought zone and falls, the Open of the downward candle corresponding to the peak is connected to draw a trend line between high points. If the peak is not a downward candle, it moves to the right and is drawn with the Open of the first downward candle. If you refer to the candlesticks of the arrows in the chart above, you will understand. The trend line drawn as a dot is a high-point trend line, but it is a proper trend line because it does not touch the overbought zone between highs. Therefore, you can draw a trend line corresponding to trend line 1. Accordingly, around March 25-29, around April 8, and around April 14 correspond to the volatility period. - You can see how important the low-point trend line (2) is. If the high-point trend line is properly created this time and the low-point trend line and the high-point trend line are displayed in the same direction, the trend is likely to continue along that channel. If the StochRSI indicator rises and a peak is created in the overbought zone, you will draw a high-point trend line that connects to point A. - Thank you for reading to the end. I hope your transaction will be successful. --------------------------------------------------

DCA Buy Alert Script for Long-Term InvestorsHello, TradingView traders! I'm sharing a simple Pine Script for cautious DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) entries. This script helps accumulate only on weakness — no buying blindly. (Use only on high volatility altcoins!) 🔍 Strategy logic: • RSI < 40 → market is oversold • Price below EMA 21 → short-term trend is down • Price below SMA 200 → long-term trend is weak Only when ALL three conditions are met, the script triggers a BUY alert. ✅ How to use: 1. Add the script to your chart 2. Create an alert: choose “Cautious DCA Buy Signal” 3. You’ll get notified when the market dips into a DCA zone //@version=6 indicator("Cautious DCA on Dips", overlay=true) rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14) sma = ta.sma(close, 200) ema = ta.ema(close, 21) buySignal = rsi < 40 and close < sma and close < ema plotshape(buySignal, title="Buy Signal", location=location.belowbar, style=shape.labelup, size=size.normal, color=color.green, text="Buy", textcolor=color.white) plot(sma, title="SMA 200", color=color.orange) plot(ema, title="EMA 21", color=color.blue) alertcondition(buySignal, title="Buy Alert", message="DCA Buy Signal: RSI is low and price is below EMA and SMA") 🔔 This script reduces noise and waits patiently for real dips. Useful for long-term investors who want to buy with discipline. Let me know how it works for your strategy! #DCA #LongTerm

Using Fibonacci/Measured Moves To Understand Price TargetThis video is really an answer to a question from a subscriber. Can the SPY/QQQ move downward to touch COVID levels (pre-COVID High or COVID Low). The answer is YES, it could move down far enough to touch the pre-COVID highs or COVID lows, but that would represent a very big BREAKDOWN of Fibonacci/ElliotWave price structure. In other words, a breakdown of that magnitude would mean the markets have moved into a decidedly BEARISH trend and have broken the opportunity to potentially move substantially higher in 2025-2026 and beyond (at least for a while). Price structure if very important to understand. Measured moves happen all the time. They are part of Fibonacci Price Theory, Elliot Wave, and many of my proprietary price patterns. Think of Measured Moves like waves on a beach. There are bigger waves, middle waves, smaller waves, and minute waves. They are all waves. But their size, magnitude, strength vary. That is kind of what we are trying to measure using Fibonacci and Measured Move structures. Watch this video. Tell me if you can see how these Measured Moves work and how to apply Fibonacci structure to them. This is really the BASICS of price structure.

The Power of Technical Indicators: ETH 4H Chart Breakdown📈 In this analysis, I demonstrate how a combination of key technical indicators can provide high-probability trade setups. By using Auto Fibonacci Gauge, Quantum Moving Average, Momentum Charge Theory, and Smart Money Concept, we can decode market movements with precision. 🔹 Auto Fibonacci Gauge: The Perfect Retracement The Auto Fib Gauge shows a textbook retracement, respecting key levels like 23.6% & 61.8%. These levels act as potential reversal zones where price reacts based on trader sentiment. 🔹 Quantum Moving Average & Momentum Charge Theory: Trend Confirmation The Quantum Moving Average aligns perfectly with the momentum shift, confirming trend direction. The Momentum Charge Theory further validates entry & exit signals, showing confluence with the Fib levels. 🔹 Smart Money Concept: Tracking Institutional Moves The SMC method helps identify where large institutional orders (aka smart money) are likely placed. Key structure points like BOS (Break of Structure) & CHoCH (Change of Character) signal potential trend shifts. 📊 Why is this important? Combining these indicators enhances probability of successful trades. Understanding retracements, momentum, and institutional order flows helps traders avoid weak setups and trade with confidence. 🚀 What’s your take? Do you use similar confluences in your trading? Let me know in the comments!

Book keepingWhat is Bookkeeping? Bookkeeping is simply keeping track of all the money coming in and going out. Businesses use it to record their income, expenses, and profits, but traders can use it too. In trading, bookkeeping means recording every trade you take—wins, losses, fees, and even your emotions during the trade. How to Apply Bookkeeping in Trading Record Every Trade: Write down details like: 1. The currency pair you traded. 2. Entry and exit prices. 3. Stop loss and take profit. 4. Win or loss amount. The reason for taking the trade. Track Your Emotions: Were you confident, scared, or overexcited? Noting this down helps you spot patterns in your mindset. Review Weekly and Monthly: At the end of the week/month, check your stats: What’s your win rate? Which setups work best for you? Are you making more than you’re losing? How This Improves Trading Identifies Strengths & Weaknesses: You’ll see what works and what doesn’t. Stops Emotional Trading: Tracking emotions helps you avoid revenge trading. Helps Adjust Risk Management: If losses are too big, you’ll see it early and adjust. Increases Consistency: The more data you have, the easier it is to refine your strategy. A simple trading journal (even in a notebook or spreadsheet) can make a big difference over time. As for me I do all my book keeping in notion
