How to recognize the Fundamentals Support in a stock chart.Candlesticks are more than just a buy entry signal or a sell short entry signal. Candlesticks offer far more information such as where are the fundamentals of a company in relation to its stock price? The chart of AMZN shows the current level of fundamentals at this time which is within the outlined price level. AMZN is an excellent example of a company that is prospering during a time of rising tariffs and trade wars. AMZN chart also show Buy Side "Support the Market" activity and quiet accumulation for much of this year. The steady rise of Accum/Dist is a pattern in the indicator that represents quiet accumulation over time. Reminder: When Dark Pools are in accumulation mode they do not move price in huge price action. The candles will be small, uniform, and periodic. TWAP orders, Time Weighted at Average Price are used to set an automatic ping to buy when a stock falls below the fundamental level of a sideways trend. Fundamentals are always sideways trends. If the stock moves beyond the high price set for the TWAP order, then the accumulation buying ping halts and waits. Therefore, you can see the area where the majority of Dark Pool TWAP orders are buying and when the orders pause. This is very useful information as Professional Independent Traders are monitoring the Dark Pool Buy Zone and will buy with the Dark Pools in anticipation that the liquidity draw is going to drive price upward suddenly as HFTs AI suddenly find the liquidity draw which occurs slowly over time, often several months.

Volume Profile Explained with Application BTC Forecast09/09/2025Price isn’t held up by your tweets — it’s held up by volume. And volume says lower. By walking through the profile step by step, I explain how: The thick high-volume nodes act as magnets for price. The thin low-volume zones provide little support and often get filled quickly. Bitcoin’s current setup suggests price is more likely to retrace lower to retest the areas where most of the trading volume occurred. If you’ve ever wondered how to connect the dots between the volume profile and the order book, or why market structure points down when everyone else says up

FX Professor 101: How I Start My Charts with Trendlines & FibFX Professor 101: How I Start My Charts with Trendlines & Fib Levels 🧠📈 Some of you asked me to show my charting process again — so here it is, strictly educational, using Pepper as the example (because a few of you believe in it and asked about it). Let’s build this chart together from scratch. 🛠️ Step 1: Get Full Historical Context 📜 I always start by selecting a chart with the most data available. More history = more structure to work with. No shortcuts here. Step 2: Anchor with Horizontal Trendlines 📏 I look for a clear support → resistance → support pattern with no manipulation. That becomes my anchor level. Then I scan for secondary levels – if they’re too close or manipulated, I keep them dotted and as references. Zooming in helps. Don't hesitate to get granular when needed. 🔍 Step 3: Respect the Manipulation 🤨 If a chart feels overly manipulated (wicks, fakeouts, no clear rejections), I lose trust in it. But sometimes even within manipulation, valid levels emerge — and I mark them clearly. Step 4: Fibonacci Confirmation 🔢✨ Once I place the trendlines, I overlay Fibonacci retracements to see if they align. In this case, one of my levels landed exactly on 0.618 – no cap! 😂 That’s when experience meets structure. Final Notes 🧘‍♂️ • Only two levels made the final cut • Secondary levels marked with dotted lines • 0.618 Fib validated the primary structure • Support at 929 is looking strong as of now This is my process. It’s how I start every serious chart. Nothing fancy — just history, structure, and experience. If it helps even one of you out there, I’m happy. 💙 One Love, The FXPROFESSOR 💙 Food for Trading Thought: From my experience as an AI developer, I’ve come to one firm conclusion — AI will never replace us. It can assist, but it can’t see what you see or feel what you feel. The real edge in trading is your human intuition, patience, and discipline. Trading is a game — a risky game. Play it right if you're going to play it at all. Stay human and remember: the best Blockchain is YOU, the best Altcoins are your loved ones and your work/creation/purpose in life. 🎯

Its Non-Farm: How much will ES Move?Hi all - Happy Non-Farm Friday! I haven't done this in a while and thought it might be helpful to share my process for estimating the size of the move that we may get on ES after the Non-Farm Payrolls data is released. I'm not trying to make a prediction on direction here - but more understand where the boundaries could be so I can determine how to trade this (what trading tool I can pull out of my box) once the announcement comes out. Hope it helps and please let me know if you find it useful and I'll create more posts . Cheers, Jeff

The Four Different Sideways TrendsIn the modern Market Structure, stocks, indexes and industry indexes move sideways or trend moving horizontally most of the time. Understanding this phenomenon and how to use it to your advantage is important to learn. There are 4 different types of price moving sideways: 1. The consolidation is a very narrow price range, often less than 5% but can be wider. The consolidation trend usually lasts a few days to a few weeks. The price action is very tight and small. Pro traders dominate consolidations usually. Price pings between a narrow price range low and high. Price is a penny spread or few pennies at most. This means the candlesticks are very very small and tightly compacted. Consolidations are relatively easy to identify on a stock chart. These pattern create a liquidity shift which an HFT AI algo discovers and triggers its automated orders to drive price up or down based on the positions the pro traders are holding. Consolidations create fast paced momentum and velocity runs that you can take advantage of IF you learn to enter the position BEFORE HFTs and then the smaller funds, retail day traders and gamblers drive price upward. You and pro traders ride the run until you see a Pro trader exit candle pattern to close the position. 2. The Platform Position sideways trend is also very precise with consistent highs and lows. These are the realm of the Dark Pools hidden accumulation and if you are trying to day trade a platform then it will whipsaw and cause losses. The width is too narrow for day trading. The platform is about 10% of the price in width. Platforms form after a market has had a correction and numerous stocks are building bottoms. Once the bottom completes and the Dark Pools recognize that the stock price is below fundamental levels the Dark Pool raise their buy zone price range to a new level. Often HFTs gap up a stock and then Dark Pools resume their hidden accumulation at that higher level. The goal is to enter just before the HFT gap up to the new fundamental level for swing or day trading. Platforms offer low risk and the position can be held for weeks or months generating excellent income with minimal time for busy trades who do not have the time to swing trade. Platforms are also good for swing traders if they time their entry correctly. 3. Sideways trends are a mix of retail investors and retail day traders, smaller funds managers and sometimes Dark Pools hidden within the wider sideways trend. These trends with the wider mix of market participants have inconsistent highs and lows which often times causes retail day traders losses as they do not understand the dynamics of the wide sideways trend. These sideways trends are more than 10% and as wide as 20% of the stock price. 4. The Trading Range is the hardest to trade and often causes the most losses as frequently the trading range is so wide it is not easily recognized on the daily charts but is visible and obvious on a weekly chart. The inconsistent highs and lows within the very wide trading range cause problems and losses for most day and swing retail traders. The size differential of each sideways trend tells you WHO is in control of price and how to trade it for maximum profits, lower risk, and to make trading fun rather than harder.

Explaining Fibonacci Retracement/Extension levelsThis video is designed to help teach you why I use the Fibonacci Defense levels as components of price action and how I use Fibonacci retracement/extension levels (related to previous market trends). Remember, the three components of price action are TIME, PRICE, & ENERGY. If you don't understand how price is structured before attempting to use Fibonacci concepts, it's almost like trying to throw darts blindfolded. You must break down the previous trends in order to try to understand what is happening with current price trends (expansion/contraction/phases). Watch this video and I hope it helps all of you understand what the markets are doing and how to use Fibonacci Retracement/Extension levels more efficiently. All types of technical analysis are validation tools - not guarantees. The only thing we get out of technical analysis is a way to validate or invalidate our expectations. A or B. Nothing else.
