StochRSI indicator and support and resistance levels Hello, traders. If you "follow" me, you can always get the latest information quickly. Have a nice day today. ------------------------------------- The StochRSI indicator on the left chart is slightly different from the StochRSI indicator on the right. The StochRSI indicator on the left chart is the StochRSI indicator provided by default in TradingView, and the StochRSI indicator on the right chart is an indicator with a modified formula. The StochRSI indicator is a leading indicator that is reflected almost in real time. Therefore, it reacts sensitively to price changes. Although it is advantageous because it reacts sensitively, it also increases the possibility of being caught in a fake, so I thought that a slight delay(?) was necessary, and so I created the StochRSI indicator on the left chart. If you look at the relationship between the K and D of the StochRSI indicators on the two charts, you can see that there is a big difference. In the end, you can predict the movement by checking whether the movement of the K line has escaped the overbought or oversold section. However, I think that you will receive information that can determine the sustainability of the trend depending on the positional relationship between K and D. Therefore, it is important to distinguish the inflection points that occur in the StochRSI indicator. This is because these inflection points provide important information for drawing trend lines. Therefore, the StochRSI indicator on the left chart, which better expresses the inflection point, is being used to draw the trend line. (Unfortunately, this indicator was not registered on TradingView because I did not explain it well.) - As a new candle was created, the StochRSI indicator on the left chart is showing an inflection point on the K line. The StochRSI indicator on the right chart is showing a transition to a state where K < D. We will have to check whether the inflection point was created only when today's candle closes, but I think that the fact that it is showing this pattern means that there is a high possibility of a change in the future trend. Since the next volatility period is expected to start around July 2nd (July 1st-3rd), I think it has started to show meaningful movements. - It is true that you want to buy at the lowest price possible and sell at the highest price. However, because of this greed, one mistake can lead to a loss that can overturn nine victories, so you should always be careful. Therefore, if possible, it is better to check for support and respond. In that sense, I think it is worth referring to the relationship between K and D of the StochRSI indicator on the left chart. This is because the actual downtrend is likely to start when K < D. - In order to check for support, you definitely need support and resistance points drawn on the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts. Ignoring this and checking for support at the drawn support and resistance points can result in not being able to apply the chart you drew to actual trading. Therefore, you should draw support and resistance points first before starting a trade. Otherwise, if you draw support and resistance points after starting a trade, you are more likely to set support and resistance points that reflect your subjective thoughts, so as I mentioned earlier, you are more likely to lose faith in the chart you drew. If this phenomenon continues, it will eventually lead to leaving the investment market. - It is important to determine whether there is support by checking the correlation between the StochRSI indicator and other indicators at the support and resistance points drawn on the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts. Even if the inflection point of the StochRSI indicator or other indicators occurs at a point other than the support and resistance points you drew, you should consider it as something that occurred beyond your ability to handle. In other words, you should observe the price movement but not actually trade. As I mentioned earlier, if you start to violate this, you will become less and less able to trust the chart you drew. - Accordingly, the basic trading strategy I suggest is to buy near the HA-Low indicator and sell near the HA-High indicator. However, since the HA-Low and HA-High indicators are expressed as average values, they may move in the opposite direction to the basic trading strategy. In other words, if the HA-Low indicator is resisted and falls, there is a possibility of a stepwise downward trend, and if the HA-High indicator is supported and rises, there is a possibility of a stepwise upward trend. Therefore, the basic trading strategy mentioned above can be considered a trading strategy in the box section. In the case of deviating from this box section, it is highly likely to occur before and after the volatility period indicated by the relationship between the trend line using the StochRSI indicator mentioned above and the support and resistance points drawn on the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts. Therefore, special care is required when conducting new transactions during the volatility period. This is because there is a high possibility of being caught in a fake when trading during the volatility period. - The DOM(60) and DOM(-60) indicators are good indicators to look at together with the HA-Low and HA-High indicators. The DOM indicator is an indicator that comprehensively evaluates the DMI, OBV, and MOMENTUM indicators. Therefore, the DOM(60) indicator is likely to be at the end of the high point range, and the DOM(060) indicator is likely to be at the end of the low point range. In the explanation of the HA-Low and HA-High indicators, - I said that if the HA-Low indicator receives resistance and falls, there is a possibility that a stepwise downtrend will begin, - and if the HA-High indicator receives support and rises, there is a possibility that a stepwise uptrend will begin. In order for an actual stepwise downtrend to begin, the price must fall below DOM(-60), and in order for a stepwise uptrend to begin, it must rise above DOM(60). In other words, the DOM(-60) ~ HA-Low section and the HA-High ~ DOM(60) section can be seen as support and resistance sections. - If these correlations start to appear, I think you will be able to create a trading strategy that fits your investment style without being swayed by price volatility and proceed with trading. The reason for analyzing charts is to trade. Therefore, the shorter the time for chart analysis, the better, and you should increase the start of creating a trading strategy. - Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a successful trade. --------------------------------------------------

A Step-by-step Guide to One of the Chart Analysis MethodHello Friends, Welcome to RK_Chaarts, Today we're going to learn step-by-step guide to one of the chart analysis Method by analyzing a chart of " Varun Beverages Ltd. (VBL) " to identify a trend change opportunity.(Educational Post). Let's get started! Applying Elliott Wave Theory First, we can see that the bottom formed in March 2025 is likely a Wave ((4)) in Black as a bottom, marked as such on the chart. From there, Wave 5 should move upwards. Looking at the daily timeframe, we can see that price gone up in five sub-divisions of Wave (1) in Blue of Wave ((5)) in Black have completed, marked as Red 1-2-3-4-5, that means blue intermediate Wave (1) has ended, and Wave (2) has begun, which is unfolded in corrective nature marked as WXY in Red of Wave (2) in Blue. According to the wave principle, Wave (2) should not retrace more than 100% of Wave (1), which started from the 419.65 bottom. Therefore, 419.65 becomes our invalidation level. If the price moves below this level, it would invalidate our Wave (2) principle. Assuming our wave counts are correct, the upward movement is in the five sub-divisions, and the downward movement is in the three sub-divisions. Definitely, the conviction is increasing that we have correctly identified Waves (1) and (2). Shown in chart image below Tweezers at Bottom Now, we can see that Wave 2 has retraced more than 70% and has formed a Tweezer candlestick pattern at the bottom. A bearish candle was followed by a bullish candle, both with a Tweezer-like shape, with the second candle being green. This could indicate a potential reversal. Moreover, the latest candle has also taken out the high of the previous two candles, showing follow-through. The price has also shown follow-through on the upside after that. So, this can be considered as the first sign that Wave 2 might be ending, marked by a significant Tweezer pattern at the bottom with a follow-through candle. Shown in chart image below Significant Breakout Pending Yet Secondly, from the top where Wave 1 ended, we've been considering the decline from around 560.50 as a resistance. We drew a resistance trend line, and if the price breaks out above it, we can say that the resistance trend line has been broken, indicating a breakout above the last fall's trend line, Which is not Broken yet. Shown in chart image below Dow Theory The Dow Theory states that when the price moves up, it forms a Higher High, Higher Low pattern, and when it moves down, it forms a Lower High, Lower Low pattern. Somehow, the Dow Theory also needs to change, as the last swing was forming a Lower High, Lower Low pattern. The last swing high was at 479, which we marked with a green arrow. If the price crosses above it, we can say that the price is now forming a Higher High pattern. This indicates that the Dow Theory is changing from a falling trend to a rising trend. Shown in chart image below Stop Loss Once the Dow Theory also changes, we can use the last swing low at 446.15 as our stop loss. However, this stop loss will only be valid after the Dow Theory changes; otherwise, the invalidation level will remain at 419. Shown in chart image below Projected Target of Wave (3) So, friends, we've applied the Elliott Wave principle, and there's been a significant retracement, all within the valid range, without violating any rules or triggering invalidation. There's limited room left on the downside, and then we have the Tweezer candlestick pattern, which is a significant sign. We're expecting a reversal from there, and the price has followed up with an upward move. What's left now is the breakout above the resistance trend line and a change in the Dow Theory. Once these two conditions are confirmed, all parameters will match, and we can add a position to our portfolio using the last swing low as our stop loss, instead of the invalidation level. This is how chart analysis is done for investment purposes. We've seen many signs in our favor, and yet we still use a stop loss to prevent significant losses in case the stock or market moves unexpectedly. This is what stop loss is all about - minimizing potential losses. We've also discussed the target projection based on Wave theory, 161.8% level, which we explained through an image. So, friends, I hope you've understood the entire conclusion and learned how to analyze charts using different methods, one of which we shared with you today. I am not Sebi registered analyst.

Instructions on how to potentially use the SIG[TP/SL (1H-4H-1D)]It's a HF algorithm for the 1H,4H,1D Time-Frames. Which means whenever the instrument reaches the open price, the algo might give a lot of signals and sometimes it might give plenty of reverse signals. In order to use the specific algo in the best possible way, here's a helpful guide on how to potentially use it: 1)Wait for the instrument to reach the open price. 2) ALWAYS, Follow the signals, e.g: We are at the open price. If it indicates buy signal, then open a long position. If for example 5 seconds later (again at the open price) it indicates a sell signal, then reverse the long position into a short position, and keep doing it until it gives a signal, that will be followed by a good sized candle. 3) The safest way is to close the trade when the price reaches the potential TP1. 4) Happy Trading! *The text above is not an investment advice, and it does not guarantee any profit.

US–Iran Conflict Triggers a Potential Nasdaq Bearish Setup🟣 Geopolitical Flashpoint Meets Technical Confluence The U.S. weekend airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities has reignited geopolitical instability across the Middle East. While broader markets often absorb news cycles quickly, high-beta assets like Nasdaq futures (NQ) tend to react more dramatically—especially when uncertainty meets existing technical vulnerability. Monday’s session opened with a notable gap to the downside, reflecting immediate risk-off sentiment among futures traders. While the initial drop is being retraced intraday, historical patterns suggest that such gap-fills can often serve as ideal shorting zones—particularly when other bearish signals confirm the narrative. The backdrop is clear: this is no ordinary Monday open. 🟣 Bearish Divergence on CCI Builds the Case From a technical standpoint, the setup gains weight through a clear bearish divergence on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) using a 20-period setting. While prices recently pushed higher, momentum failed to follow—an early indication that buyers may be running out of steam. This divergence appears just as price approaches the origin of Friday’s gap, a level that frequently acts as a resistance magnet in such contexts. This confluence of weakening momentum and overhead supply aligns perfectly with the geopolitical catalyst, offering traders a compelling argument for a potential reversal in the short term. 🟣 Gap Origin: The Line in the Sand The origin of the gap sits at 21844.75, a price level now acting as potential resistance. As the market attempts to climb back toward this zone, the likelihood of encountering institutional selling pressure increases. Gap origins often represent unfinished business—zones where prior bullish control was suddenly interrupted. In this case, the added layer of global tension only strengthens the conviction that sellers may look to reassert dominance here. If price action stalls or rejects at this zone, it could become the pivot point for a swift move lower, especially with bearish momentum already flashing caution signals. 🟣 Trade Plan and Reward-to-Risk Breakdown A potential short trade could be structured using 21844.75 as the entry point—precisely at the gap origin. A conservative stop placement would rest just above the most recent swing high at 22222.00, offering protection against a temporary squeeze. The downside target aligns with a prior UFO support area near 20288.75, where demand previously showed presence. This sets up a risk of 377.25 points versus a potential reward of 1556.00 points, resulting in a reward-to-risk ratio of 4.12:1. For traders seeking asymmetrical opportunity, this ratio stands out as a strong incentive to engage with discipline. 🟣 Futures Specs: Know What You’re Trading Traders should be aware of contract specifics before engaging. The E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures (NQ) represent $20 per point, with a minimum tick of 0.25 worth $5.00. Typical margin requirements hover around $31,000, depending on the broker. For smaller accounts, the Micro Nasdaq-100 Futures (MNQ) offer 1/10th the exposure. Each point is worth $2, with a $0.50 tick value and much lower margins near $3,100. 🟣 Discipline First: Why Risk Management Matters Volatility driven by geopolitical events can deliver fast gains—but just as easily, fast losses. That’s why stop-loss orders are non-negotiable. Without one, traders expose themselves to unlimited downside, especially in leveraged instruments like futures. Equally critical is the precision of entry and exit levels. Acting too early or too late—even by a few points—can compromise an otherwise solid trade. Always size positions according to your account, and never let emotion override logic. Risk management isn’t a side-note—it’s the foundation that separates professionals from those who simply speculate. When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.

Best Free Volatility Indicator on TradingView for Gold Forex This free technical indicator will help you easily measure the market volatility on Forex, Gold or any other market. It will show you when the market is quiet , when it's active and when it's dangerous . We will go through the settings of this indicator, and you will learn how to set it up on TradingView. Historical Volatility Indicator This technical indicator is called Historical Volatility. It is absolutely free and available on TradingView, MetaTrader 4/5 and other popular trading terminals. TradingView Setup Let me show you how to find it on TradingView and add it to your price chart. Open a technical price chart on TradingView and open the "Indicators" menu (you will find it at the top of the screen). Search "Historical Volatility" and click on it. It will automatically appear on your chart. "Length" parameter will define how many candles the indicator will take for measuring the average volatility. (I recommend keeping the default number, but if you need longer/shorter-term volatility, you can play with that) Timeframe drop-down list defines what time frame the indicator takes for measuring the volatility. (I recommend choosing a daily timeframe) And keep the checkboxes unchanged . How to Use the Indicator Now, let me show you how to use it properly. Wider the indicator and analyse its movement at least for the last 4 months. Find the volatility range - its low levels will be based on the lower boundary of the range, high levels will be based on its upper boundary. This is an example of such a range on USDCAD pair. When the volatility stays within the range, it is your safe time to trade. When volatility approaches its lows, it may indicate that the market might be slow . Highs of the range imply that the market is very active In-between will mean a healthy market. The Extremes The violation of a volatility range to the downside is the signal that the market is very slow . This would be the recommended period to not trade because of high chance of occurrence of fakeouts. An upward breakout of a voliatlity range is the signal of the extreme volatility . It will signify that the market is unstable , and it will be better to let it calm down before placing any trade. Volatility Analysis That is how a complete volatility analysis should look. At the moment, volatility reached extreme levels on CADJPY pair. The best strategy will be to wait till it returns within the range. Remember This With the current geopolitical uncertainty and trade wars, market volatility reaches the extreme levels. Such a volatility is very dangerous , especially for newbie traders. Historical volatility technical indicator will help you to easily spot the best period for trading and the moment when it is better to stay away. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

About the chart that shows a sideways movement... Hello, traders. If you "follow", you can always get new information quickly. Have a nice day today. ------------------------------------- When you study charts, you will realize how difficult it is to move sideways. Therefore, depending on how long the sideways movement was before the big wave, the size of the wave is also predicted. However, in the charts showing sideways movement, the price range and wave size are often known after the wave appears. This shows that the location of the sideways movement and the size of the sideways wave are important. - Looking at the chart above, we can say that it is showing a sideways movement. However, since the price is located at the lowest price range, it is better to exclude this chart. The reason is that if it is showing a sideways movement at the lowest price range, it is likely that the trading volume has decreased significantly due to being excluded from the market. This is because it is likely to take a long time to turn into an upward trend in this state. - Looking at the chart above, the price is showing a sideways movement while maintaining a certain interval after rising. The sideways movement is about 31%, so it may be ambiguous to say that it is actually sideways. However, if the price moves sideways while maintaining a certain interval after rising, it means that someone is trying to maintain the price. Therefore, when it shows a movement that breaks through the sideways section, it should be considered that there is a possibility that a large wave will occur. The wave can be either upward or downward. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful not to jump into a purchase with the idea that it will definitely rise in the future just because it moves sideways. A box section is set at both ends of the sideways section. Therefore, it is recommended to proceed with a purchase in installments when it shows support after entering this box section. In other words, it is important to check the support in the 1.5-1.9669 section or the 25641-2.6013 section. You can see that the HA-Low indicator and the HA-High indicator are converging. Therefore, if this convergence is broken, it is expected that a trend will be formed. - Like this, you should measure the price position of the sideways movement and the width of the sideways movement well and think in advance about whether to proceed with the transaction when it deviates from that range. Otherwise, if you start trading after the wave has already started, you may end up giving up the transaction because you cannot overcome the wave. Since it is not known when the movement will start once the sideways movement starts, individual investors easily get tired. Therefore, when the coin (token) you want to trade shows a sideways movement, it is recommended to increase the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to the profit while conducting short-term trading (day trading). If you do this, you will naturally be able to see how the sideways waves change, and you will be able to hold out until a big wave starts. I think there are quite a few people who are not familiar with day trading and say they will buy at once when the wave starts. If you can hold out well against the wave, you will get good results, but there is a possibility that the trade will fail 7-8 times out of 10, so if possible, it is good to get used to the feeling by day trading coins (tokens) that show this sideways pattern. - Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a successful trade. --------------------------------------------------

Most Traders React to Markets. The Best Anticipate Them.Most Traders React to Markets. The Best Anticipate Them. Hard truth: You're always one step behind because you trade reactively. You can’t win a race if you're always responding to moves already made. Here's how reactive trading burns your edge: - You chase breakouts after they've happened, entering at the peak. - You panic-sell into downturns because you didn't anticipate. - You miss major moves because you're looking backward, not forward. 🎯 The fix? Develop anticipatory trading habits. Identify scenarios in advance, set clear triggers, and act decisively when probabilities align - not after the market confirms. TrendGo provides structure for anticipation - not reaction. 🔍 Stop responding, start anticipating. Your account will thank you.

Wyckoff Up-Thrust - This is how to identify using Speed indexClassic Wyckoff Up-Thrust formation, this is how to read it using Speed Index (annotations in sync with the chart): 1. Fib Area - this is where sellers might come in 2. FU - Fast Up wave with SI 0.4F 3. Next up wave with an abnormal SI of 1.0S while the average speed at 0.5, which means price has a hard time to move up (more sellers on the up move). Following the up wave on the down move we have double Short signals WU-Wyckoff Up-Thrust and PRS-Plutus Reversal Short and this where we enter. I hope this was helpful. Enjoy!

Minimize Big Losses by Managing your EmotionsHow many times have your emotions taken control in the middle of a trade? Fear, greed, or stress can be a trader’s worst enemy. This analysis teaches you how to manage your emotions to avoid big losses and look at the crypto market with a more professional eye. Hello✌ Spend 3 minutes ⏰ reading this educational material. 🎯 Analytical Insight on PEPE : PEPE is testing a strong daily trendline alongside key Fibonacci support, signaling a potential upside of at least 30%, targeting 0.000016 . Keep an eye on this confluence for a solid entry point. Now , let's dive into the educational section, 💡 Market Psychology and Emotional Management Crypto markets are highly volatile, which triggers strong emotions in traders. Fear of missing out (FOMO) and greed are two of the biggest enemies of any trader. Without emotional control, it’s easy to fall into bad trades. The first step in managing emotions is recognizing your behavioral patterns. Once you know when fear or greed kicks in, you can adjust your trading plan accordingly. Second, stick to a clear trading plan. Whether the market is crashing or pumping hard, stay loyal to your strategy and make decisions based on logic and analysis—not feelings. 🛠 TradingView Tools and Indicators to Manage Emotions First off, TradingView tools aren’t just for technical analysis—they can help you control emotions and impulses in your trades. One of the best indicators is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which clearly shows whether the market is overbought (extreme greed) or oversold (extreme fear). Using RSI, you can spot moments when the market is too emotional—either overly optimistic or fearful—and avoid impulsive decisions. For example, when RSI rises above 70, the market may be too greedy, signaling you to hold back from jumping in hastily. Besides RSI, indicators like MACD and Bollinger Bands help you better visualize trends and volatility, allowing you to avoid emotional entry or exit points. The key is to combine these indicators with awareness of market psychology, making them powerful tools to manage your feelings while trading crypto. 📊 Practical Use of Indicators to Avoid Big Losses Imagine you entered a Bitcoin long position. By watching RSI and MACD, you can pinpoint better entry and exit points. If RSI is above 70 and MACD shows a reversal signal, a price correction is likely. In such cases, trade cautiously or consider exiting to avoid significant losses. Additionally, setting stop-loss orders based on support/resistance levels identified by Bollinger Bands is another key risk management strategy. This keeps your losses controlled and within acceptable limits, even if the price moves suddenly. ⚡️ The Psychology of Loss and Greed — Two Big Trader Traps After losing, it’s natural to want to recover quickly, but that’s where greed often leads to risky, poorly thought-out trades.

Mastering Liquidity Dynamics: Understand the Dynamic True ValueDear Reader, Thank you for reading—your time is valuable. Use the chart's zoom-in/out (-/+) function for better visibility. This chart captures a large sample for your evaluation. Below is the manual detailing the Smart Farmer System —a Dynamic True Value framework derived from real-time data to anticipate market intent and liquidity behavior . If this resonates with you, drop a comment below— constructive insights are always welcome . The Dynamic True Value - a Smart Farmer System: Terminology and Mechanics : For now, I have firmed up POC - Price of Control, VAP - Value Average Pricing, SULB - Sell Upper Limit Bound, BLLB - Buy Lower Limit Bound. Mechanic: POC - Where fair value price dynamic is read. VAP - Trading above indicates bullish sentiment of the cycle, and the opposite for bearish sentiment. A crossed over of: Grey POC above Green VAP - Signaling distribution, accumulation, consolidation, build-ups, correction, retracement . Green VAP above Grey POC - Bullish strength and momentum consistency . Pink VAP above Black POC - Bearish strength and momentum consistency . Flip of Pink VAP to Green VAP - Sentiment flips from bear to bull, and the same goes for green flip to pink showing bull to bear. Validation of entry signals requires: Signal's candle must close past the opposite side of POC – flip sentiment . The confirmation candle (is the closed next candle immediately after entry signal candle) must continue closed past the POC – maintain sentiment . The progress candle (is the next candle closed right after the Confirmation Candle) shows traction, momentum build-up, and volume consistency . Hint of invalidation: Signal's candle is considered void if the next candle prints a new entry signal in the opposite direction. This often signals accumulation, sideways movement, build-up, uncertainty, or swings in range . The immediate next candle closed past POC to the opposite side. What to understand about Liquidity Trap, SULB, and BLLB: Liquidity traps Often occur at the recent/previous flatlines of Dynamic True Value (POC, VAP, SULB, BLLB) . It is worth paying attention to the market’s intent and institutional positioning. Signs of exhaustion, absorption, inducement, offloading, and accumulation are visible in the M1 (one-minute) TF, with significant confluence near the previous/recent flatlines of Dynamic True Value in the higher/macro-TFs. An Anchored VWAP tool can be helpful for filtering noise in the market. This tool can be found in the drawing tab in the TradingView platform. SULB Details the dynamic of upper resistance where Bears remain in control below the dynamic level. Below this limit bound (LB) , bears show strength – bear sentiment . A converging price toward this LB indicates bulls are present. Moving past this LB (a candle closed above) and successfully RETESTING newly formed support indicates a confirmed directional shift . Followed by printing a new BLLB in the next following candles with price continuing to rise above this failed SULB. A rejection below LB (a rejection/exhausted candle closed below LB) and successful RETEST reaffirms the resistance holds , indicating downside continuation . BLLB Details the dynamic of lower support where Bulls remain in control above the dynamic level. Above this LB, bulls show strength – bull sentiment . A converging price toward this LB signifies bears are present. Moving past this LB (a candle closed below) and successfully RETESTING newly formed resistance indicates a confirmed directional shift . Followed by printing a new SULB in the next following candles with price continuing to push lower below this failed BLLB. A rejection above LB (a rejection/exhausted candle closed above LB) and successful RETEST reaffirms the support holds , indicating upward continuation . Important Notes: Select preferred Entry’s Signal TF (ex. M3 TF, M5 TF for scalping strategy, M15 for intraday/daily strategy, 4H TF for day-to-weekly strategy, etc.). Always refer to the selected Entry’s TF for trading progress. Anticipate TP and SL by watching the range in this TF. Non-entry TFs are not for entry purposes. These multi-TFs are used for measuring strength, momentum, liquidity, positioning, structure – The market intends . The Non-entry TF is used to anticipate institutional executions and liquidity pools. These criteria MUST BE MET. A failed criterion suggests vague execution. Be patient and wait for clear validations. Institutions excel in creating illusions. SFS is designed to stand ready, calm, and execute with Clarity. SFS cuts through noise, distraction, and stays independent of NEWS, GEOPOLITIC, RUMORS, and herd mentality because all these are designed to mislead retail traders into institutional traps. When we see such ambiguity against the criteria, we know not to fall into the TRAP and become the liquidity FUEL. Stay sharp, only respond when signals are firmed. SFS is designed to counter Smart Money capitalism. It is about time to level the playing field.

Differences Between Trading Stock Market and Coin Market Hello, traders. If you "Follow", you can always get new information quickly. Have a nice day today. ------------------------------------- Please read with a light heart. - Trading stock market and coin market seem similar, but they are very different. In stock market, you have to buy and sell 1 share at a time, but in coin market, you can buy and sell in decimals. This difference makes a big difference in buying and selling. In the stock market, you should buy when the price is rising from a low price if possible. The reason is that since you buy in units of 1 week, you have to invest more money when you sell and then buy to buy 1 week. I think the same goes for the coin market, but since you can buy in decimal units, you have the advantage of being able to buy at a higher price than when you buy in the stock market. For example, if you sell and then buy again at the same price, the number of coins (tokens) will decrease, but there will be no cases where you can't buy at all. Therefore, the coin market is an investment market where you can trade at virtually any price range. - In terms of profit realization, the stock market can only be traded in a way that earns cash profits. The reason is that, as I mentioned earlier, since you have to trade in units of 1 week, there are restrictions on trading. However, in the coin market, in addition to the method of earning cash profits, you can also increase the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to the profits. The biggest advantage of increasing the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to profit is that you can get a large profit in the long term, and the burden of the average purchase price when conducting a transaction is reduced. When the price rises by purchase price, if you sell the purchase amount (+ including the transaction fee), the coins (tokens) corresponding to profit will remain. Since these coins (tokens) have an average purchase price of 0, they always correspond to profit even if there is volatility. In addition, even if the price falls and you buy again, the average purchase price is set low, so it plays a good role in finding the right time to buy and starting a transaction. Of course, when the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to profit is small, it does not have a big effect on the average purchase price, but as the number increases, you will realize its true value. You can also get some cash when you increase the number of coins (tokens) corresponding to profit. When selling, if you add up the purchase price + transaction fee X 2~3, you can also get some cash profit. If you get cash profit, the number of coins (tokens) remaining will decrease, so you can adjust it well according to the situation. When the profit is large, increase the cash profit slightly, and when you think the profit is small, decrease the cash profit. - Therefore, when you first move from the stock market to the coin market and start trading, you will experience that the trading is not going well for some reason. In the stock market, there are some restrictions on the rise and fall, but in the coin market, there are no restrictions, so it is not easy to respond. However, as I mentioned earlier, the biggest problem is the difference in the transaction unit. When trading in the stock market, you need to check various announcements and issues in addition to the chart and determine how this information affects the stock or theme you want to trade. This is because trading is not conducted 24 hours a day, 365 days a year like the coin market. This is because if an announcement or issue occurs during a non-trading period, the stock market may rise or fall significantly when trading begins. - When using my chart on a stock chart, the basic trading strategy is to buy near the HA-Low indicator and sell near the HA-High indicator. However, if you want to buy more, you can buy more when the M-Signal of the 1D chart > M-Signal of the 1W chart, and it shows support near the M-Signal indicator of the 1W chart. In the stock chart, it is recommended to trade when the M-Signal indicators of the 1D, 1W, and 1M charts are aligned. The reason is that, as I mentioned earlier, trading must be done in 1-week units, so the timing of the purchase is important. In the coin chart, you can actually trade when it shows support at the support and resistance points. However, since trading is possible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, even if it shows support at the support and resistance points, psychological anxiety due to volatility increases, so it is recommended to proceed with trading according to the basic trading strategy. The creation of the HA-Low indicator means that it has risen from the low range, and the creation of the HA-High indicator means that it has fallen from the high range. Therefore, if it shows support near the HA-Low indicator, it is likely to rise, and if it shows resistance near the HA-High indicator, it is likely to fall. However, on the contrary, if it is supported and rises at the HA-High indicator, it is likely to show a stepwise rise, and if it is resisted and falls at the HA-Low indicator, it is likely to show a stepwise fall. In order to confirm this movement, you need to invest a lot of time and check the situation in real time. - Thank you for reading to the end. I hope you have a successful transaction. --------------------------------------------------

Guide: How to Read the Smart Farmer SystemDear Reader , Thank you for tuning in to my first video publication. This video explains the 3-step signal validation process—helping you quickly and precisely anticipate market intent and liquidity dynamics before taking action. We do not react to noise; we respond with structured execution because we understand the market’s true game. Listen to the market— this guide is here to sharpen your journey. Correction Notice (16:58 timestamp): A slight clarification on the statement regarding signal validation : SELL signals: The trading price must close BELOW the Price of Control (POC) and Value Average Pricing (VAP) without invalidation occurring in both the confirmation candle and progress candle. BUY signals: The trading price must close ABOVE the Price of Control (POC) and Value Average Pricing (VAP) without invalidation occurring in both the confirmation candle and progress candle. Multiple signals indicate liquidity games are actively unfolding, including accumulation, control, distribution, and offloading.

Quick Lesson: Slow & Fast Flows (Study it & Benefit in Trading)It is always important to look not only at levels (supports/resistances), but how exactly price moves within them. On the left side , we see a slow flow—a controlled and gradual decline. Sellers are patient, offloading positions over time into visible liquidity levels. Each dip is met with small bids, creating a staircase-like drop. This kind of move doesn’t trigger panic immediately, but it’s dangerous because it builds up pressure. Eventually, when buyers dry up, a larger breakdown happens. On contrary, the right side shows a fast flow. Here, a large sell order slams into a thin order book, causing an immediate price spike down. There's little resistance, and multiple levels are skipped. This creates an inefficient move, often forming a sharp wick. These fast drops are typically caused by fear, liquidation, or aggressive exit orders. But what’s interesting is the recovery: because the move was so aggressive and liquidity was so thin, price can snap back up quickly. These are often V-shaped reversals with low resistance on the way back. Try to look for such setups on the chart and learn how the price behaves . Studying such cases will help you identifying upcoming sell-offs/pumps and earn on them.

Uncontrolled Greed: Save Your Portfolio by these strategies Think fear is the only emotion causing big losses? Think again — this time, it’s all about greed . 🤯 That feeling when you don’t close a profitable position because you think it still has room . 📉 Let’s dive into the chart and see how even pro traders fall into the greed trap . Hello✌ Spend 3 minutes ⏰ reading this educational material. 🎯 Analytical Insight on Bitcoin: Bitcoin is currently testing a major monthly trendline alongside a key daily support zone, both aligning with Fibonacci retracement levels.📐 This confluence suggests a potential upside move of at least 9%, with a primary target projected near the $116,000 mark .📈 Market participants should watch this level closely as it may serve as a pivot for mid-term price action. Now , let's dive into the educational section, 🧠 The Psychology of Greed in Trading Greed speaks quietly but hits hard. It whispers: “Just a bit more. Let it run.” But that’s the same voice that turns green into deep red. Markets don’t care about your dreams. When a small win turns into a big loss — that’s greed in action. No one knows the top. Trying to predict it out of emotion is how portfolios get wrecked. Greed often spikes after multiple winning trades — when overconfidence kicks in. That’s when you need data, not dopamine. 📊 TradingView Tools That Help Tame Greed TradingView isn’t just a charting platform — if used right, it can be your emotional assistant too. Start with RSI . When it crosses above 70, it signals overbought zones — prime time for greedy entries. Volume Profile shows you where the smart money moves. If you see high volume at price peaks, it’s often too late to jump in. Set up Alerts to get notified when your indicators hit key levels — avoid reacting in real-time chaos. Use Replay Mode to rewatch old setups and identify where greed affected your past decisions. Customize Chart Layouts per market type. Having a focused view helps you act based on logic, not emotion. 🛡 Strategies to Defeat Greed Pre-define your take-profit and stop-loss before you enter. Non-negotiable. Create a Psych Checklist: “Am I trading based on a missed move? Or a solid signal?” After every trade, reflect on what drove your decisions — fear, logic, or greed? Take a trading break after a streak of wins. That’s when greed loves to sneak in. Withdraw a portion of your profits to reinforce the habit of securing gains. Practice on demo during volatile days to build emotional discipline. Never try to win back all losses in one trade — that’s greed’s playground. If you're sizing up every position just because "the market is hot", pause. Focus on surviving, not conquering. Long-term traders are calm, not greedy. ✅ Wrap-Up In crypto's wild swings, greed destroys faster than any technical mistake. Enter with a plan. Exit with purpose. Greed-based trades usually end with regret. Emotional control equals long-term survival. Trade smart — not just hungry 📜 Please remember to do your own research before making any investment decisions. Also, don’t forget to check the disclaimer at the bottom of each post for more details. ✨ Need a little love!

Warren Buffett's Approach to Long-Term Wealth BuildingUnderstanding Value Investing: Warren Buffett's Educational Approach to Long-Term Wealth Building Learn the educational principles behind value investing and dollar-cost averaging strategies, based on historical market data and Warren Buffett's documented investment philosophy. --- Introduction: The Million-Dollar Question Every Investor Asks Warren Buffett—the Oracle of Omaha—has consistently advocated that index fund investing provides a simple, educational approach to long-term wealth building for most investors. His famous 2007 bet against hedge funds proved this principle in dramatic fashion: Buffett wagered $1 million that a basic S&P 500 index fund would outperform a collection of hedge funds over 10 years. He crushed them. The S&P 500 returned 7.1% annually while the hedge funds averaged just 2.2%. Today, we'll explore the educational principles behind this approach—examining historical data, mathematical concepts, and implementation strategies for learning purposes. --- Part 1: Understanding Value Investing for Modern Markets Value investing isn't about finding the next GameStop or Tesla. It's about buying quality assets at attractive prices and holding them for compound growth . For beginners, this translates to: Broad Market Exposure: Own a cross-section of businesses through low-cost index funds Long-term Perspective: Think decades, not months Disciplined Approach: Systematic investing regardless of market noise "Time is the friend of the wonderful business, the enemy of the mediocre." - Warren Buffett Real-World Application: Instead of trying to pick between NASDAQ:AAPL , NASDAQ:MSFT , or NASDAQ:GOOGL , you simply buy AMEX:SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF) and own pieces of all 500 companies automatically. --- Part 2: Dollar-Cost Averaging - Your Secret Weapon Against Market Timing The Problem: Everyone tries to time the market. Studies show that even professional investors get this wrong 70% of the time. The Solution: Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) eliminates timing risk entirely. How DCA Works: Decide on your total investment amount (e.g., $24,000) Split it into equal parts (e.g., 12 months = $2,000/month) Invest the same amount on the same day each month Ignore market fluctuations completely DCA in Action - Real Example: Let's say you started DCA into AMEX:SPY in January 2022 (right before the bear market): January 2022: AMEX:SPY at $450 → You buy $1,000 worth (2.22 shares) June 2022: AMEX:SPY at $380 → You buy $1,000 worth (2.63 shares) December 2022: AMEX:SPY at $385 → You buy $1,000 worth (2.60 shares) Result: Your average cost per share was $405, significantly better than the $450 you would have paid with a lump sum in January. --- Part 3: The Mathematics of Wealth Creation Here's where value investing gets exciting. Let's run the actual numbers using historical S&P 500 returns: Historical Performance: - Average Annual Return: 10.3% (1957-2023) - Inflation-Adjusted: ~6-7% real returns - Conservative Estimate: 8% for planning purposes Scenario 1: The $24K Start Initial Investment: $24,000 | Annual Addition: $2,400 | Return: 8% Calculation Summary: - Initial Investment: $24,000 - Annual Contribution: $2,400 ($200/month) - Expected Return: 8% - Time Period: 20 years Results: - Year 10 Balance: $86,581 - Year 20 Balance: $221,692 - Total Contributed: $72,000 - Investment Gains: $149,692 Scenario 2: The Aggressive Investor Initial Investment: $60,000 | Annual Addition: $6,000 | Return: 10% Historical example after 20 years: $747,300 - Total Contributed: $180,000 - Calculated Investment Gains: $567,300 Educational Insight on Compound Returns: This historical example illustrates how 2% higher returns (10% vs 8%) could dramatically impact long-term outcomes. This is why even small differences in return rates can create life-changing wealth over decades. The mathematics of compound growth are both simple and incredibly powerful. --- Part 4: Investing vs. Savings - The Shocking Truth Let's compare the same contributions invested in stocks vs. a high-yield savings account: 20-Year Comparison: - Stock Investment (8% return): $221,692 - High-Yield Savings (5% return): $143,037 - Difference: $78,655 (55% more wealth!) "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it... he who doesn't, pays it." - Often attributed to Einstein Key Insight: That extra 3% annual return created an additional $78,655 over 20 years. Over 30-40 years, this difference becomes truly life-changing. 📍 Global Savings Reality - The Investment Advantage Worldwide: The power of index fund investing becomes even more dramatic when we examine savings rates around the world. Here's how the same $24K initial + $2,400 annual investment compares globally: 🇯🇵 Japan (0.5% savings): - Stock Investment: $221,692 - Savings Account: $76,868 - Advantage: $144,824 (188% more wealth) 🇪🇺 Western Europe Average (3% savings): - Stock Investment: $221,692 - Savings Account: $107,834 - Advantage: $113,858 (106% more wealth) 🇬🇷 Greece/Southern Europe (2% savings): - Stock Investment: $221,692 - Savings Account: $93,975 - Advantage: $127,717 (136% more wealth) 🇰🇷 South Korea (2.5% savings): - Stock Investment: $221,692 - Savings Account: $100,634 - Advantage: $121,058 (120% more wealth) 💡 The Global Lesson: The lower your country's savings rates, the MORE dramatic the advantage of global index fund investing becomes. For investors in countries with minimal savings returns, staying in cash is essentially guaranteed wealth destruction when compared to broad market investing. This is exactly why Warren Buffett's advice transcends borders - mathematical principles of compound growth work the same whether you're in New York, London, or Athens. Note: Savings rates shown are approximate regional averages and may vary by institution and current market conditions. Always check current rates in your specific market for precise calculations. --- Part 5: Building Your Value Investing Portfolio Core Holdings (80% of portfolio): AMEX:SPY - S&P 500 ETF (Large-cap US stocks) AMEX:VTI - Total Stock Market ETF (Broader US exposure) LSE:VUAA - S&P 500 UCITS Accumulating (Tax-efficient for international investors) Satellite Holdings (20% of portfolio): NASDAQ:QQQ - Technology-focused (Higher growth potential) AMEX:VYM - Dividend-focused (Income generation) NYSE:BRK.B - Berkshire Hathaway (Value investing & diversification) --- Part 6: Implementation Strategy - Your Action Plan Month 1: Foundation Open a brokerage account (research low-cost brokers available in your region) Set up automatic transfers from your bank Buy your first AMEX:SPY shares 💡 Broker Selection Considerations: Traditional Brokers: Interactive Brokers, Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab Digital Platforms: Revolut, Trading 212, eToro (check availability in your country) Key Factors: Low fees, ETF access, automatic investing features, regulatory protection Research: Compare costs and features for your specific location/needs Month 2-12: Execution Invest the same amount on the same day each month Ignore market news and volatility Track your progress in a simple spreadsheet Year 2+: Optimization Increase contributions with salary increases Consider additional core holdings like LSE:VUAA for tax efficiency Consider tax-loss harvesting opportunities Visualizing Your DCA Strategy Understanding DCA concepts is easier when you can visualize the results. TradingView offers various tools to help you understand investment strategies, including DCA tracking indicators like the DCA Investment Tracker Pro which help visualize long-term investment concepts. 🎯 Key Visualization Features: These types of tools typically help visualize: Historical Analysis: How your strategy would have performed using real market data Growth Projections: Educational scenarios showing potential long-term outcomes Performance Comparison: Comparing actual vs theoretical DCA performance Volatility Understanding: How different stocks behave with DCA over time 📊 Real-World Examples from Live Users: Stable Index Investing Success: AMEX:SPY (S&P 500) Example: $60K initial + $500/month starting 2020. The indicator shows SPY's historical 10%+ returns, demonstrating how consistent broad market investing builds wealth over time. Notice the smooth theoretical growth line vs actual performance tracking. Value Investing Approach: NYSE:BRK.B (Berkshire Hathaway): Warren Buffett's legendary performance through DCA lens. The indicator demonstrates how quality value companies compound wealth over decades. Lower volatility = standard CAGR calculations used. High-Volatility Stock Management: NASDAQ:NVDA (NVIDIA): Shows smart volatility detection in action. NVIDIA's explosive AI boom creates extreme years that trigger automatic switch to "Median (High Vol): 50%" calculations for conservative projections, protecting against unrealistic future estimates. Tech Stock Long-Term Analysis: NASDAQ:META (Meta Platforms): Despite being a tech stock and experiencing the 2022 crash, META's 10-year history shows consistent enough performance (23.98% CAGR) that volatility detection doesn't trigger. Standard CAGR calculations demonstrate stable long-term growth. ⚡ Educational Application: When using visualization tools on TradingView: Select Your Asset: Choose the stock/ETF you want to analyze (like AMEX:SPY ) Input Parameters: Enter your investment amounts and time periods Study Historical Data: See how your strategy would have performed in real markets Understand Projections: Learn from educational growth scenarios 🎓 Educational Benefits: This tool helps you understand: - How compound growth actually works in real markets - The difference between volatile and stable investment returns - Why consistent DCA often outperforms timing strategies - How your current performance compares to historical market patterns - The visual power of long-term wealth building As Warren Buffett said: "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." This tool helps you visualize your financial tree growing over time through actual market data and educational projections. --- Part 7: Common Mistakes to Avoid The "Perfect Timing" Trap Waiting for the "perfect" entry point often means missing years of compound growth. Time in the market beats timing the market. The "Hot Stock" Temptation Chasing individual stocks like NASDAQ:NVDA or NASDAQ:TSLA might seem exciting, but it introduces unnecessary risk for beginners. The "Market Crash" Panic Every bear market feels like "this time is different." Historical data shows that patient investors who continued their DCA through 2008, 2020, and other crashes were handsomely rewarded. --- Conclusion: Your Path to Financial Freedom Value investing through broad index funds and dollar-cost averaging isn't glamorous. You won't get rich overnight, and you won't have exciting stories about your latest trade. But here's what you will have: Proven strategy backed by decades of data Peace of mind during market volatility Compound growth working in your favor 24/7 A realistic path to serious wealth creation The Bottom Line: Warren Buffett's approach works because it's simple, sustainable, and based on fundamental economic principles. Start today, stay consistent, and let compound growth do the heavy lifting. "Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." - Warren Buffett Educational Summary: Understanding these principles provides a foundation for informed decision-making. As Warren Buffett noted: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now" - emphasizing the educational value of understanding long-term investment principles early. --- 🙏 Personal Note & Acknowledgment This article was not entirely my own work, but the result of artificial intelligence in-depth research and information gathering. I fine-tuned and brought it to my own vision and ideas. While working with AI, I found this research so valuable for myself that I could not avoid sharing it with all of you. I hope this perspective gives you a different approach to long-term investing. It completely changed my style of thinking and my approach to the markets. As a father of 3 kids, I'm always seeking the best investment strategies for our future. While I was aware of the power of compound interest, I could never truly visualize its actual power. That's exactly why I also created the open-source DCA Investment Tracker Pro indicator - so everyone can see and visualize the benefits of choosing a long, steady investment approach. Being able to see compound growth in action makes all the difference in staying committed to a strategy. As someone truly said: compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. --- Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
