The Anatomy of a Good Trade: Focus on Decisions, Not ResultsLet's find out - what is a good trade?
Most beginners answer: a trade that makes money.
But in professional trading, a good trade has nothing to do with the outcome.
It has everything to do with the quality of the decision.
1️⃣ A good trade starts with an A-Setup:
An A-Setup is not a feeling — it’s a repeatable pattern with structure and logic.
✔ Clear market context
✔ Direction aligned with market structure
✔ Liquidity levels identified
✔ Entry trigger confirmed
✔ Risk defined before the trade
If one of these is missing, it’s no longer an A-Setup — it’s hope.
2️⃣ A good trade has positive expectancy:
Winning one trade means nothing. Winning a sample size of 100 tells you everything.
A positive expectancy means your setup:
loses small - wins bigger - and performs consistently over time
You don’t need to win every trade — you need a system where the average outcome is in your favor.
3️⃣ A good trade follows process, not emotion:
A professional doesn’t judge a trade by profit or loss. They judge it by one question:
“Did I execute my plan without breaking the rules?”
If yes → it was a good trade. Even if it ended in a loss.
Because long-term success comes from repeatable behavior, not from chasing single outcomes.
The Truth:
➡️ A good trade is not defined by green or red.
➡️ A good trade is defined by discipline, structure, and execution.
If beginners understood this idea, half of their frustration would disappear.
Thanks for reading, and have a great start to your trading week!

US30 Technical Breakdown – 11/20/2025📍 US30 Technical Breakdown – 11/20/2025
US30 finally found temporary support around 45,950–46,000 after a massive selloff from the 48,400 highs. Price is now retracing into the EMA zone, but momentum is still bearish overall — meaning this bounce may just be a pullback unless buyers reclaim key levels 👀📉.
📊 Market Behavior:
🔹 Heavy downside momentum after failing to hold 47,600
🔹 EMAs still stacked bearish → sellers in control
🔹 Current move = corrective bounce into resistance
📌 Key Levels:
🔹 Resistance:
46,600 → current retest zone (EMA rejection likely)
46,800 → strong intraday supply / former support
47,000 → major pivot level
🔹 Support:
46,150 → intraday bounce area
45,975 → structure support
45,929 → micro-demand
45,600 → next major liquidity pocket
🧠 Bias:
Bearish momentum still dominant 📉
⬇️ Rejection under 46,600 → continuation lower
⬆️ Break + hold above 46,800 → opens room toward 47,000–47,200

US30 Bullish MovementI'm biased for buy on US30. I have 2 area that I'm watching for entry but I think the market will just be accumulating in one area make a bit of a push to the downside within the area where it is currently accumulating then continue to push the market tomorrow. For TP, I'm actually eyeing more in the TP 2 but there will be going to be a reaction around the TP 1 that will be something to look at for another entry for buy.

DOW JONES Will the 1D MA100 save the day?Dow Jones (DJI) has been trading within a 6-month Channel Up and in the past 4 days it has been correcting on its latest Bearish Leg. By doing so, it broke below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and is approaching the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) right at the bottom of the pattern.
This is the Channel's last Support. As long as it closes the daily candles above it, we will be bullish on Dow, targeting 49000, which represents a +7.25% rise, something all previous 3 Bullish Legs did.

US30 remains in a bearish trend toward support levels.US30 remains in a bearish trend. The price may first retest a resistance zone, but unless there is a confirmed bullish breakout, the expectation is for another decline toward support levels.
From a market sentiment perspective, U.S. indices closed mixed on Friday as investors look ahead to Nvidia’s upcoming earnings release next week and remain cautious due to concerns that the Federal Reserve may delay cutting interest rates in December.
If price fails to hold above 47,500 and closes below resistance and price move to downside and there potentially target point will be 46,818 to 46,420

Dow At The End Of The TrendDow Jones Index has been showing us negative divergences both on the monthly and weekly charts. Macd on the weekly has crossed downwards. Everybody is talking about Berkshire Hathaway buying Google stocks but overlook the fact that they have been selling Bank of America. The reason why they have been selling BAC is not something I can answer. All I can see is that the technicals show weakness and we are at the edge of a 3 leg downtrend.
