SilverSilver traded down to its previous high and that should be 50 and I believe I mis stated it as 30. This was a reasonable retest from Friday's high but there is a possibility that the market could expand lower to an ABCD pattern giving a much better return if you shorted the market. Markets commonly retest the previous high when there's a breakout higher. If the market actually goes lower to the ABCD pattern I would consider that an opportunity to go long depending on how it looks at that time. if you get a chance listen to Warren Buffett's point of view regarding gold

My Plan To Improve My Win/Loss Ratio In Forex TradingThe trading plan that I have been designing based on SMC was amazingly beautful in terms of its mechanics. Yet, it had a terrible Win/Loss ratio.
Because I loved its mechanics, I didn't want to drop it all together, and was looking for ways to enhance it. I tried to merge it with the classical school and with some Volume indicator, but things still went south.
Finally, I came by some educational material that showed me a couple of things on using Stochastic. I loved it, and this will be my addition, and what I will test in the coming week.
My plan will include the same SMC rules, and the Stochastic. I will draw the support and resistance zones and maybe trendlines.
I will be using the daily timeframe on two different sets of settings for the stochastic, one is long term and another is shorter term.
I will be coming back with my test results next week.
How Algorithms Let You See the Market’s Next Move - EUR/USD I’m not exaggerating when I say this — if you give yourself the chance, algorithms can completely change the way you see the market.
In this video (and many of my previous ones), I show real examples where I successfully outlined a scenario before the price followed it. This doesn’t happen because I have a crystal ball — it happens because I use algorithms to understand the current set of possibilities the market is likely to explore next.
Once you start seeing the market through this lens, trading stops feeling random. You begin to see how price actually moves — the logic, the structure, and the hidden battles that shape every candle.
This knowledge is too powerful to keep to myself, so I’ll continue sharing these insights here on TradingView. I hope you’ll join this growing community of traders who are learning to see the market for what it truly is.
As always, thank you for watching — and if you have any questions, drop them in the comments. I’ll be happy to help.

The Chart Analysis Advice I wish I was given as a beginnerNo I am not a professional video maker, just a trader, so please excuse the terrible video quality!
When I was learning to trade, I constantly wished I´d found someone who explained to me how trades worked and also how I could reliably take them and protect them. Unfortunately, I found most professors were super vague and didn´t know what they were talking about.
With this system, while one cannot predict the future, we do have the next best thing, which is the forecast, kind of like the weather.
Thanks to the algorithms then, we can prepare accordingly and set out trades to benefit us to the max while being exposed to small risks.
In this video, I briefly talk about this morning´s trade and the logic behind this morning´s events. This for the purpose of studying the markets to improve.
As always if you have any questions, don´t hesitate to ask
What Are These Messy Lines in my Chart? - Explaining the AlgosIf you’ve checked out my trading chart, you might’ve noticed it looks a bit complex — full of colorful lines and structures. But have you ever wondered what those lines are really for?
Each one is drawn to graphically identify the presence of invisible algorithms — the hidden forces that move the market. At any given time, multiple algorithms are battling for control of price direction. By visualizing their interaction on the chart, we can begin to see the true structure behind market movement.
Understanding this gives you a deeper insight into how markets actually function — and that insight can completely change the way you trade.

How to Trade with Stochastics in TradingViewMaster Stochastics using TradingView’s charting tools in this comprehensive tutorial from Optimus Futures.
The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that helps traders identify potential turning points in the market by comparing the current closing price to the recent high–low range. It’s designed to show when momentum may be shifting from buyers to sellers — or vice versa.
What You’ll Learn:
- Understanding the Stochastic Oscillator as a momentum tool plotted from 0 to 100
- How the %K line represents the current close relative to the recent high–low range
- How the %D line acts as a moving average of %K and serves as a signal line
- Key thresholds: readings above 80 suggest overbought conditions, while below 20 suggest oversold conditions
- Why overbought and oversold levels are not automatic buy or sell signals — and how strong trends can keep Stochastics extended
- Identifying bullish and bearish crossovers between %K and %D
- Spotting bullish and bearish divergence between price and momentum
- Using Stochastics to confirm trend direction across different timeframes
- How to add Stochastics on TradingView via the Indicators menu
- Understanding the default settings (14, 3, 3) and how adjusting them affects responsiveness
- Practical examples on the E-mini S&P 500 futures chart
- Applying Stochastics across multiple timeframes — daily, weekly, or intraday — for confirmation signals
This tutorial will benefit futures traders, swing traders, and technical analysts who want to incorporate Stochastics into their trading process.
The concepts covered may help you identify momentum shifts, potential reversal zones, and trend confirmations across different markets and timeframes.

The Market Crash Friday was NOT what you have been told.The stock market crash was blamed on many things but NONE are true.
The reason why the stock market had a huge run down on Friday was due to
a VOID of BUYERS.
Who were the buyers???
You will never guess.
It was the 436 of the SP 500 companies that have buybacks underway, newly created, or open ended. Corporations have been supporting their own individual stock price.
WHY? To maintain their Market Cap during stressed market times.
To improve their dividend yield for the Buy Side Institutions who many 145 trillion dollars of assets and who own the bulk of those companies stock.
To keep their stock from dropping further on retail news.
Why did the corporations stop buying their stock on Friday?
Because the Earnings Season is getting underway this week and they stop buybacks to avoid a conflict of interest or other regulatory situations from buyin back shares during or before their CEO reports.
The corporations are likely to resume their accumulation a week or so after their CEO guidance and reports.
How to find algorithmic levels of support and resistanceUsing repeating pinpoint levels to form meaning of opens and closes around these levels give you an advantage in your analysis.
As price gives us clues to what levels are affecting price, we should mark the new candles that are responding to these levels by breaking and retesting these very levels.
Please let me know your thoughts! 🙏🏾

GameStop and Fibonacci: It's About TimeThis is my first attempt at publishing a video on TradingView, so hopefully it works.
I wanted to put together something educational about fib channels and why I like to use them. They're not a silver bullet, but they do tell you a lot about where to expect support and resistance because the chart has a very good memory, and you can see this play out on pretty much any instrument, including cryptocurrencies.
I follow NYSE:GME closer than any other ticker, so this video is about my philosophy on the fib channels that I have been using on the GME chart and talking about on the Echo Chamber Podcast. Hopefully this adds a little more context to that discussion, how the flat price levels are not always the only thing that matters, but taking time-based trends into account can make a big difference in your analysis and understanding of price movement.
Happy to hear people's thoughts on my crayons 🖍️ which color should I eat next?
Since this is a bit of a longer video, here's an AI summary of the content with timestamps:
Introduction 00:00-01:05
I introduce the topic of explaining my TradingView chart, which has many colorful lines. I clarify that I didn't manually draw all the lines, but used Fibonacci channels that only require selecting 3 points.
Explaining Current Chart 01:05-04:33
I show my current GameStop chart, explaining various trend lines and Fibonacci channels. I demonstrate how to adjust the Fibonacci channel points to analyze different price movements.
Fresh Chart Walkthrough 04:33-11:57
Moving to a clean chart, I explain global chart items, including trend lines from major tops and bottoms. I discuss dividend-adjusted vs non-adjusted charts and explain the "Gandalf line" of support.
Fibonacci Channels Explanation 11:57-24:54
I provide a detailed explanation of how Fibonacci channels work, demonstrating how to draw them and interpret the resulting lines. I show how these channels can describe price action across long time periods.
Additional Examples 24:54-33:44
I show more examples of Fibonacci channels applied to GameStop's entire price history. I discuss how these channels can provide insight into potential future price movements and support/resistance levels.
Conclusion 33:44-34:40
I summarize my thoughts on GameStop's current price action in relation to the Fibonacci channels and support levels identified.
Some Quotes
"I find them mathematically interesting." 11:54 - Referring to trend-based Fibonacci tools.
"Math is your friend here. But you don't have to do the math, you just can use tools that will help you." 17:19
"Price is fractal in nature in that patterns are repeating and Fibonacci is everywhere." 17:19
"Things like history repeats itself. It's just a question of when, not if." 24:30
"The point I want to drive home here is that when we start to get a little bit more granular here, and this is why I have lots of crayons on my chart." 28:34
Key Tips/Concepts
Fibonacci channels can be powerful tools for technical analysis, providing insight into potential support and resistance levels.
These channels can sometimes describe price action across very long time periods, even when drawn based on recent price movements with thoughtfully selected endpoints.
The importance of considering price, time, and volume in technical analysis, as demonstrated by the "Gandalf line".
The value of using multiple timeframes and chart types (dividend-adjusted vs non-adjusted, trading hours only vs extended hours included) to gain a more complete picture of a stock's price history. (Editorial note: something I didn't cover in the video, but the difference between log scale and linear scale sometimes will make for an interesting story on trendlines and fib channels too. I prefer to keep my chart in log scale, but will toggle between log and linear occasionally to see if there's something interesting there in the lines already drawn.)
The concept of fractal nature in price movements and how patterns tend to repeat over time.

EDUCATION: US500 +2R FOH SET, WALL STREET ORB SETUPHere’s a quick recap of today’s trade on the US500 — just shy of 2R on day 3 of a 3-day cycle, trading the Wall Street session:
I identified a 2-star quality Opening Range Breakout setup with clear confluence: trapped traders working the highs of the week, failing within a broadening formation, providing a short opportunity targeting yesterday’s Value Area and Point of Control (Target 1) and last week’s Value Area High (Target 2).
A clean “nail and bail, one and done” execution.
If this resonates with you — let’s connect. I’d love to hear from you.
SILVER BULLET-CENTRAL STANDARD TIMESunday Open around 24,813 level..Market traded back into Sunday's open on 10/7/25 created a Silver bullet @ 1PM CST(2pm NYC)..began to trade to the upside 10/8/25..1:4-1:5 RR
Multiple Correlated Currencies = Confluence to take the trade All the information you need to find a high probability trade are in front of you on the charts so build your trading decisions on 'the facts' of the chart NOT what you think or what you want to happen or even what you heard will happen. If you have enough facts telling you to trade in a certain direction and therefore enough confluence to take a trade, then this is how you will gain consistency in you trading and build confidence.

Why is the Stock Market UP when the Government is shut down?The stock market has been trending upward via the indexes as representative of the overall stock market. The Government of the US has been shut down for over a week, but stocks, especially big blue chip stocks keep moving upward. WHY?
Is it Wall Street vs Main Street? No.
Is it because the "economy is unstoppable? No.
Is it because of tariffs? and all that money going to the government? No.
So what is driving big name companies upward when the market should be crashing because of the shut down as stock market has ALWAYS DONE in the past any time the ceiling budget increase fails in Congress?
Corporations, with the huge tax cuts this year, and with AI providing significant lower overhead costs, and payroll costs, are in a massive buyback program once again, as they were in 2018 and 2019.
Buybacks are intended to move price of a stock upward and or maintain a price that the corporation has targeted for their buybacks.
The Bank of Record for the corporation does the actual physical work of buying shares of a company back to return the ownership of those shares to the corporation. This boost dividends which keep the Buy Side Institutions, who hold the majority of shares of many corporations, from lowering inventory for that stock. Buy Side Institutions are the most important investors for every corporation. Keep the Buy Side Institutions content with how the company is being managed is a key element of maintaining a high Percentage of Shares held by Institutions which is the primary goal of every corporation. Corporations focus on keeping shareholders holding their stock is not about the average small lot investor. It is all about keeping the Buy Side Institutions pleased with the price of the stock during extreme stress to the market. This is very important information as it tells you WHO CONTROLS PRICE and that tells you when to enter a stock, how to trade that stock, what strategies will work best for your trading style, and when and how to exit to close the trade at the ideal profit taking price level.
Research Shows That Trading Harmonic Pattern Could Improve IQ. Hey everyone, in this video, I broke down a fantastic trading setup on the EUR/USD pair using harmonic patterns. I love trading harmonics because it constantly challenges your IQ and makes you a smarter, more analytical trader.
I focused on my three-step framework that I apply to any pair:
Key Level: First, I identified a crucial order block on the higher time frame (weekly). This is our potential reversal zone.
Harmonic Pattern: Next, I moved to the 4-hour and daily charts to find a harmonic pattern aligned with that key level. I found a beautiful bearish Butterfly pattern. It's crucial to match the pattern with the trend—since the overall structure was bullish, we looked for an extension pattern (like the Butterfly) into the key level, not a retracement pattern.
Liquidity Sweep & Entry: The final step was confirming the setup. We waited for a liquidity sweep (a break of the Previous Daily High - PDH) and then a close below a key bullish candle. Entry is on the retest of that break, with a stop loss placed just above the key level.
I showed how the Fibonacci measurements (the 1.272 and 2.0 extensions) converged perfectly in the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), making it a high-probability trade. We also discussed profit targets and how to manage the trade by moving stop losses to maximize profits.
This exact same process is what I've used successfully on pairs like GBP/JPY, USD/JPY, and indices like the German 40. It's a structured, repeatable method that filters out market noise.
