I see this more and more, especially in the crypto space. There are some wild stories out there from turning $8k to a billion through to a Pizza for 10,000 Bitcoin. Here are some home truths. Although most of you won't want to hear this. You see, as a professional trader - there is 1 key factor, almost a scale balancing between too much and just enough....
I have seen more and more Wyckoff posts recently, well - here's another one! I was trading Wyckoff methodology when it wasn't cool. Unfortunately for the masses, it's not as easy as an 'influencer' will have you believe, from seeing their posts - they clearly lack the understanding and are simply joining the 'HYPE' club for view count. A few years back I went...
I was recently asked about how I got into trading. The follow on questions went something along the lines of "how did you start, what did you trade and so on. This got me thinking of many of the 'notable' trades, some funny events and change of strategies along the way. I thought some of you might find it interesting? So my trading journey actually started a...
The simple answer is AI. Amongst other things, but currently AI is the latest Buzzword on everyone's lips! I recently posted a stream on how you can use chat GPT to make a pinescript indicator (see below) There are so many possibilities with AI and we are still early, very early! NVIDIA stock closed near a trillion-dollar market value this week as shares...
Over the last couple of years, I have made a lot of posts public. These range from education through to logic for trade setups. I have gone into depth here on Tradingview to share the knowledge. The one thing that really sticks out for me is the transition of Bitcoin here and now. Seeing this unfold on a new instrument is a first for me (not old enough to have...
Trading has this stigma attached to it, everyone thinks they can come and make their millions. The reality is, 90% of new traders lose 90% of their funds in 90 days. I've talked for years about the negative side of trading (trust me, I've done this over 20 years) Trading is often perceived as a wonderful, fabulous lifestyle. Cars, yachts, jets and women!...
When you first start trading, everything seems like a good idea! You want to take every trade, use every indicator, watch every video and stream! Be like every influencer! You get this feeling that you found something new, that you are the chosen one. Unfortunately, it's for this same reason - 90% of new retail traders lose 90% of their money in the first 90...
People want to know about Bitcoin, but do not know how other factors effect the moves in the market. Take a zoom out and look at this... What usually happens when you have a ascending move up? it's moving up with a hesitation, lack of conviction. This isn't any old chart, it's the monthly view of SPY. Back in November last year I shared a DXY chart (Dollar...
This is a quick idea to test something else. Purely based on the indicator, I would like to see a dart up to red line and down to target box. 100% not investment advice. It's just something I want to watch. Disclaimer This idea does not constitute as financial advice. It is for educational purposes only, our principle trader has over 20 years’ experience...
I've been using Tradingview for just over 8 years now. When I initially started using it I was transitioning from using Footprint tools. I would use techniques that in essence allowed you to see inside a candle. Coupled with techniques such as "DOM" Depth of Market and Cumulative Delta. After a while you get to see some of this stuff without the need of...
This is a lot different to our normal video but I really wanted to show the @TradingView community how you can use AI to build indicators in @PineCoders I thought it would be easier to do as a video idea than a stream. So I hope you enjoy & don't forget to shout out to me when you try it for yourself, I am keen to see what you build! All the best Mayfair!
Bitcoin is building. it's clear to see the tops and the halving events as shown in the log scale chart. When coupled with a logarithmic indicator, the price action is currently sat on the bottom. With banks closing and the FED's continues emphasis on money printing FIAT money - it's now only a matter of time! To further re-enforce these beliefs the...
I recently shared a video post about using "Chat GPT" to create custom pinescript indicators. In the video, I just showed the potential for starting your journey off! Here's an updated view of the very indicator I had Chat GPT build in the video. This got me thinking as to the possibilities, so I made a start on a new indicator. One for looking at...
Well, Here's an obvious pattern. Follow your influencer and get burned in the process. Don't forget to pick up your red bags on the way out and fill their affiliate link. Common theme? How about this? I tried on multiple occasions to warn people. There is post after post, after post here on @TradingView (all immutable) Just click this link Enjoy...
What would hurt retail the most? This thought has made me more money than watching the news or wondering what caused that move. The concept of the "Composite Operator", A Wyckoffian term, and it is the culprit of most major events in the market. Composite man as I call him is able to manipulate retail and the overall sentiment. A lot of people will say these...
As @Paul_Varcoe posted in his recent post. Keep a cool head here, moon calls are back trending. Take a look at these posts, since we started making posts public. If you want proof then look no further... I had been buying Bitcoin for several years, as a money manager & tech investor. Seeing the move at the end of 2017, it was clear the transition had...
Don't get excited! It's not just yet. But the fact it's become institutionalised, means it's so much easier to follow it's bias. Back at the end of 2021; this chart was popular amongst Crypto fans. The only issue is, it had ZERO logic backing it up. When a trend is established, it needs to re-generate to grow again. A second wind as such. Look how...
Many people out there like to talk and share "Wyckoff" Information, unfortunately it's not as simple as people make out. Back in 2021 When I called an obvious distribution, it took a couple of months for many of the influencers to catch up. In the March, leading up to the first major all time high 64k levels. The market sentiment was "Re-accumulation" So why...
