Unlock Winning Strategies: Spot High-Probability Trades!Chart Analysis: XAU/USD (Gold Spot vs. USD) Based on the two charts you have provided, here is a detailed technical analysis of XAU/USD using price action and chart pattern observations: 1. Weekly Flag Trendline (Higher Time Frame Context) The upper and lower yellow trendlines represent a possible flag pattern on the weekly chart. This suggests a consolidation phase after a strong impulsive move. A flag pattern typically signals a continuation of the previous trend, which, if the context is bullish, indicates that after consolidation, there may be a continuation to the upside. On both charts, we can observe that price action is contained within this broader structure, indicating that price is in a correction phase rather than an impulsive phase. 2. Key Horizontal Levels 2,532.144 and 2,506.245: These levels act as strong resistance zones. The price has struggled to break above these levels multiple times, indicating significant selling pressure or profit-taking at these points. 2,471.313: This is a key support level. The price has reacted to this level before and, most recently, has bounced back after testing this support zone. This suggests that buyers are willing to step in at this level, providing a floor for the price. 3. Descending Channel and Price Action Patterns Descending Triangle/Channel Pattern: On the 15-minute chart, the price seems to be forming a descending triangle pattern (lower highs and a flat support at 2,471.313). This pattern is typically bearish, suggesting a potential breakdown if the support does not hold. Potential Reversal Patterns: After testing the lower trendline of the weekly flag pattern and finding support at the 2,471.313 level, there was a notable bullish reaction. This can imply a short-term reversal, especially if confirmed by a break above the minor resistance level of 2,494.370. 4. Consolidation Zone and Lower Time Frame Patterns The 15-minute chart shows a clear consolidation pattern after the sharp decline, with price action currently moving sideways between 2,494 and 2,506. A break above this consolidation range could signal a short-term bullish continuation towards the upper resistance levels, while a break below would imply a continuation of the bearish trend observed previously. 5. Breakout and Pullback Zones The yellow dotted lines on the 15-minute chart indicate key areas where the price broke out from consolidation phases. These areas are crucial for identifying potential entry points in a trending market. If the price retests these zones and finds resistance or support, they could act as triggers for either continuation or reversal trades. Trading Strategy Considerations Bullish Bias: Traders with a bullish bias might consider waiting for a breakout above the 2,506.245 resistance, looking for a confirmation with a pullback to this level as support. The target could be the upper boundary of the flag around 2,532.144 or higher, depending on momentum and broader market conditions. Bearish Bias: A trader with a bearish outlook might wait for the price to break below the 2,471.313 support level, looking for short positions targeting lower levels aligned with the descending channel's trajectory. Range Trading: Given the current consolidation between 2,494.370 and 2,506.245, range traders could look for entries at the edges of this range with tight stops and defined profit targets within the range. Conclusion Given the price action analysis and current chart patterns, the XAU/USD market appears to be in a consolidation phase within a broader flag pattern. This suggests that while the immediate outlook may be neutral to bearish, there is potential for a bullish breakout if key resistance levels are breached. Traders should watch for confirmed breakouts or breakdowns from these levels to guide their trading decisions, keeping in mind the broader market trend and any fundamental drivers influencing gold prices.

Unlock the Secrets of Gold Trading: Pericles' Ancient WisdomIn this video, we explore the profound perspectives on fear from historical figures like Pericles and modern thinkers like Ryan Holiday. Pericles, the esteemed Athenian statesman, saw fear as a natural emotion that should not paralyze us. He believed in confronting fear with courage, rational thought, and strategic planning, using it as a tool for effective decision-making. Ryan Holiday, drawing on Stoic philosophy in his works, echoes these sentiments with stories of historical figures who turned fear into fuel for success. He recounts how John D. Rockefeller faced market crashes with calm calculation and how Theodore Roosevelt overcame health challenges by embracing adversity. Both Pericles and Holiday teach us that fear, when managed correctly, can become a powerful ally. By acknowledging fear, confronting it with rationality and courage, and using it to sharpen our focus and strategy, we can transform challenges into opportunities for growth and success. This approach is especially relevant in the realm of trading, where mastering fear can lead to better decision-making and greater resilience. Key Levels and Patterns: Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL): The chart shows a series of higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL), indicating an overall uptrend. This pattern suggests that the bullish momentum is still in play. Ascending Channel: There is a well-defined ascending channel where the price has been moving upwards within parallel trendlines. This channel can act as a guide for potential support and resistance levels. Reversal Points (LQZ): 1-Hour LQZ / Reversal Point: Located at 2,429.190. This level is a potential area where price may reverse or find support. 4-Hour LQZ / Reversal Point: Located at 2,391.394. This level also serves as a significant support zone. Take Profit (TP) Levels: TP 1: 2,319.385 TP 2: 2,288.085 TP 3: 2,265.369 Recent Price Action: The price recently reached a higher high at around 2,458.755 and then pulled back slightly, indicating a potential short-term correction within the overall uptrend. The ascending channel suggests that if the price remains above the lower boundary of the channel, the uptrend is likely to continue. If the price breaks below the 1-hour LQZ / Reversal Point at 2,429.190, it could test the 4-hour LQZ / Reversal Point at 2,391.394. A further breakdown below this level might lead to the next support at TP 1. Analysis Summary: Bullish Scenario: The price could bounce from the current levels or the lower boundary of the ascending channel, aiming for new highs. Traders might look for buying opportunities near the support levels of the channel and reversal points. Bearish Scenario: If the price breaks below the identified reversal points and the ascending channel, it might signal a deeper correction, potentially heading towards the TP levels for possible buying opportunities at lower prices. By applying Pericles' wisdom of confronting fear with rationality and Ryan Holiday's insights on turning fear into strategic advantage, traders can approach these levels with a clear, disciplined mindset, making informed decisions even in volatile market conditions.

How the higher time frames help you to avoid unnecessary losses Hello everyone: Today I want to discuss the importance of higher time frame analysis. Doesn't matter what type of trading strategy, method or style you use, the higher time frame often will help us to strengthen our bias overall and give us a good perspective of the possible direction for the price to go. In addition, it helps traders to avoid unnecessary losses and mediocre entries that will eat up your profits. More often I hear traders will execute trades on the lower time frames, and not factor the overall higher time frame bias and perspective. Although entering on the smaller time frame can potentially give you more Risk:Reward, it's often more risky and trades can easily reverse, then hit the stop loss. This often creates stress, negativity, and revenge trading psychology for traders which ended up blowing accounts. I want to give a few examples of higher time frame analysis, how they can help traders to avoid “traps” on the lower time frames, avoid unnecessary losses, and keep the emotion at bay to trade another day. When having a bullish bias on the HTFs, its good risk management to not consider any short term, bearish sell setups. These sell setups may form on the LTFs, but they can easily not continue to your desired target, and reverse up before you have time to react. In addition, traders hate to see profit come and go. So if a trader has a short position running in some profit, but decides to hold onto the trade, and once the position reverses, traders don't want to exit, and then end up holding a losing position to its SL. Examples: AUDUSD: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: Many LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, they ended up with losses NZDUSD: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: Many LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, they ended up with losses AUDCHF: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss NZDCHF: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss NZDCAD: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss SILVER: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss

How to analyze any market from scratch #3Hello everyone: Many of you have asked me to continue making more of these analysing from scratch video, so I have prepared another one here for you today. Not only will we refresh the previous 2 educational videos on this topic, I will go into a bit more details on the confirmation on the lower time frames with multiple examples in the chart. Recall from the previous videos I made, when we want to analyze the chart from scratch, we always start: 1. From the higher time frames (HTF) to identify the impulse/correction phases of the market conditions so we can come up with a possible bias and direction of the current price. 2. Once we have a possible direction and bias, then we go down to the lower time frames (LTF) to also identify the impulse/correction phases which will lead to your confirmation and entry. These are simple steps to follow, based on multi-time frame analysis, top down approach. Many have told me it's not hard to identify the HTF’s impulse and correction, but what can be classified as a LTF confirmation before entry? Let's take a detail look into a few examples: A LTF confirmation is when the price is developing a few more price action structures/patterns that align with your HTF direction and bias. These can be continuation/reversal corrections on the LTF; impulse phases on the LTF that go with your bias on the HTF; multiple corrections within the larger corrections (patterns within patterns)...etc. The more of these LTF price actions you can identify, the more it strengthens your analysis and forecast on the HTF. Thank you Do check out my previous educational contents on this same topic to better learn my approach to analyse any market from scratch.

Safe Haven Currency, How are they affected by global eventsHello everyone: Want to talk a bit more about safe haven currency in the market. Since the recent tension between Russia and Ukraine, the safe haven currency could strengthen as a result of such uncertainty in the world. We will take a look at some past history of these currency pairs, how they react to the market at the time, and what could we reasonably expect in the current market conditions. Safe Haven Currency USD JPY CHF It's in our interest to look for opportunities when a strong currency is paired with a weaker one. This generally will move the price very impulsively with strong momentum. Pair such as these below will potentially develop the best price action for good R:R trades. AUDUSD NZDUSD USDCAD GBPUSD AUDJPY NZDJPY CADJPY GBPJPY AUDCHF NZDCHF GBPCHF CADCHF Always have good risk management when it comes to entering. Don't enter all the pairs, don't open too many positions, and understand correlation between the currency pairs.

5 Key Advices To Share With Trader Who Is Struggling In TradingHello everyone: Lately many of you have messaged me about getting FOMO and entering trades without confirmations. In addition you can't seem to “not” enter trades when the market hasn't shaped up to your strategy and entry criteria. I am hoping in today’s educational video it can help some of you guys to get back on track. I want to share 5 main pieces of advice that can help out traders who are currently struggling. These are experiences and lessons that I accumulate throughout the 8 years of trading and in hope to help some of you who are struggling in your current journey of trading. 1. Do “NOT” think about get rich quick in trading -Trading is a marathon, not a sprint -90-95% traders fail due to a combination of: Greed, FOMO, mindset/emotion, risk management, trading psychology. -Trading is not a get rich quick scheme, but it can produce consistent, sustainable passive income if you can put in the time and effort -Most try to jump to the result right away, without going through the journey, that is not how life works. 2. No trading strategies, style, method can give you 100% strike rate -Trading is probability, not right or wrong. -Understand you can have the best strategy in the world, and still not be profitable. - Technical, Fundamental, Algo, EA...etc can all not work. This is why risk management is important to not over risk, over trade, over leverage your trading account 3. Backtest and journal -Backtest your strategy so your brain acknowledges and recognizes it over and over again. -Slowly build up confidence in your strategy and method. IT will come to you like second nature -Journal all your wins and losses so you can review them. Work on them, accept your mistakes to grow and improve. 4. Control your EGO -Human beings have ego to prove others are wrong and they are right -We refuse to admit we made the error/mistakes, and blame others/external as the cause. -Acknowledge that in trading, stop blaming the market, the broker, the mentor, the strategy...etc. -Don't take things personally and be offended by it. 5. Never Give Up -I blew several accounts in the beginning of trading career, gave up and quit trading multiple times -I always ended up coming back to trading. After taking time off. Whether that is weeks or months in the beginning journey. -No one is born into a trader, just like no one is born into a doctor, lawyer. -If trading was that easy, then everyone would be rich. -Success is measure by how many times you get back up when you failed I hope these pointers can help you guys to get more focus and get back on track in trading.

How to analyze the market from scratch (Impulse & Correction)Hello everyone: Many have asked me about demonstrating how to analyze the chart from complete scratch. When looking at my chart and educational video, it all seems very simple, but many are telling me they are struggling to identify the market. Today I will go over how I analyze the chart, from the Higher time frame down to lower time frame by using multi-time frame analysis, top down approach. Specifically by identifying price action, impulse and correction phases of the market. 1. Start from the Higher Time Frame (HTF): HTF can be any time frame higher than the daily chart, such as monthly, weekly, daily. Personally I like to use daily as a go to time frame as it is widely used by traders. 2. Identify the impulse phase of the market. Understand the impulse phase is a period of fast momentum, price is either pushing up or down very aggressively, and not much consolidation visible on the HTF. 3. Identify a period of consolidations. Using trendlines, connect the swing highs and lows of the price. This is to identify the correction/consolidation phase of the market. Which is the most important aspect in price action analysis. You will need to be very knowledgeable on the type of continuation, reversal correction patterns/structures the market usually will form. (I will share many price action patterns/structures that I identify and use in the market below) 4. Once you identify the HTF phase of the market, you will then go down to the Lower time frames (LTF). LTF can be anything under 2/1 HR, 30/15 Min charts. It's not a specific time frame, rather “Multi time frame analysis”. You will also identify the impulse phases & Correction phases on the LTF and use trendlines to connect the swing highs and lows of the correction/consolidation phase, just like what we did on the HTF. 5. Now that you have both the HTF and LTF charts drawn out, the key here is to have both the HTF and LTF tell you the same direction/bias. They should align up and have the same bullish/bearish bias. This will strengthen your probability of success. I always make sure when I am about to enter any trades, I want the multi-time frames all telling me the same story. Same bias, same direction. 6. Now all that comes down to is forecasting the possible entries, which I have made many videos on this topic and I will share some below. Understand you would always want to make sure you are either entering during the impulse phase on the LTF, or the price is about to start the impulse phase to gain the upper hands in the market. You do not want to enter when the price is in a consolidation which is why many traders end up losing money, stuck in the correction and price isn't moving too much, rather just sideways. 7. Continue to work on analyzing the chart from scratch, get comfortable at identifying the impulse phase in the market, and do backtesting continuously so you identify the corrections in the market. This will make you see the chart and the market completely different than before, and you will have a much better probability of entering trades that work out in your favour. Any questions, comments or feedback welcome to let me know. Jojo Below I will share many educational videos that will help you to understand more on price action analysis, impulse/correction phase, entry, forecasting, backtesting and more.

When/How to move SL to BE and to profit in a running trade ?Hello everyone: Today I want to discuss a topic in Risk Management, specifically on when and how to move your STOP LOSS to BREAKEVEN or in PROFIT when you have a running profit trade/position. In an impulsive phase of the market, we want to make sure to protect our entry as well as secure profits. In this example of EURUSD, I managed to get 2 entries in, and manage it to my best ability and secure profits Trade close down for +7.9% profit Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: This is a topic that will have various answers across traders, as this is certainly up to each individual trader’s strategy, style, and management approach. So understand there is no right or wrong, “holy grail” kind of decision. It's up to you individually as a trader. I will share my management, and why I choose to go with these types of approaches, and you can certainly use them to your advantage to tweak/modify them to fit your strategy. Few things to keep in minds are: 1. Moving the SL to BE or/and in profit is a way to protect your entry, as well as secure profit. 2. Sometimes moving the SL too early may “choke” the price, and you can get stopped out for BE or small profit. Then watch the price take off in your desired direction, which can create negative emotion. 3. Whereas sometimes if you don't move SL to BE or in profit, you can watch a trade that hits 3:1 RR or more, end up reversing down, passing your entry point and to your actual SL of -1%, which can also create negative emotion. 4. No perfect scenario or management when it comes to the aspect of trading, as every trade is unique, and different outcomes may happen, since the market itself is not perfect, and can do whatever it wants to do. Now, I will explain my own management when it comes to moving SL to BE or/and in profit. Certainly this is NOT the only way, nor it will be the best way, but over the years of backtesting & chartwork have given me reassurance on these types of management ways. I will then show some real live examples on the trades that I closed down, and how I manage them as well. CADJPY - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: GBPJPY - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: CHFJPY - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: NASDAQ - AUDNZD - Original Trade Forecast and Analysis: First, a general rule of thumb for me. IF the price has hit about 1:1 RR or so, and has broken past the previous recent lows, I will move my SL to BE. There is no exception in this rule. Again, I explained earlier that sometimes this will help you to protect your entry when price reverses, and sometimes it will choke the price. In this case, I would rather take a BE first, and re-look for entry again in the same position, as long as the bias and the price action is still valid on both the higher time frame and lower time frame. Second, once the entry is in some profit, say 2:1 or higher, I generally will move the SL up to about +0.5% profit or so. Just want to secure a little profit while not choking the price entirely. Third, once the entry is in 3:1 profit, then I will move my SL to +1% profit. This is where I generally will decide whether I should take full profit here, or hold the trade for a mid-long term if the higher time frame has given me the bias. Fourth, since the trade has already been in 3:1 profit or higher, generally we can expect a continuation correction to form now after the impulse phase. If it's a smaller correction and price isn't reversing up sharply right away, I will move my SL to about +1.5% profit, set my alert above the continuation correction and observe the development of the correction. This is generally a point where I can decide to hold the trade longer, or if it reverses up from the continuation correction, then exit the trade for profit. Fifth, if we start to see a possible reversal development, then I will move down my SL to the recent swing highs/lows, or just above the reversal correctional structure, and will let the trade tag me out for profit if it reverses.

How to use trendline to identify price action structure/patternHi everyone: Many have asked me about how to properly use trendlines to identify price action structures and patterns. So in today’s educational video, I will go over this topic in more detail. First, I use the trendline as a “frame” to identify structures and patterns, and NOT use it as a Support/Resistance. What I do is to put in the trendline for the highs and lows of the price action that can help me to pinpoint what the price is doing, what kind of a correctional structure that it is currently in. Typically after an impulse phase of the market, then we start to identify a structure/pattern by connecting the swing highs and lows. Second, as I always point out in my videos/streams, a structure/pattern needs at least 2 swing highs and lows to classify as a structure. Certainly more swing highs and lows are good, but it's not necessary. Often I get asked about the “third touch” or more. To me it's not necessary, but if price does form the third touch, I would proceed the same as the price has a second touch. Third, we are identifying the price action correctional structure, and sometimes the market is not perfect, it will not give you a textbook looking bullish flag as an example. Hence the backtesting and chartwork from each trader is important to get your mind familiarized with the market and its “imperfect” development of the price action. After identifying the impulse phase, then look to see what the market is doing. Is it falling into a consolidation ? Not much movement except sideway price action, or ascending/descending like consolidation will give you a clue on whether the price is correcting to continue, or correcting to reverse. Take a look at the educational videos I have made in the past regarding the type of correctional structures we typically see in the market. All the videos are down below. Continue to backtest and do chart work to get familiar with drawing in the structures/patterns. The more you do these, the better and easier it is for you to identify them in your trading journey. Remember, the market is not perfect, so not all the structures/patterns will be “Textbook” like on the real, live market. Learn to deal with the “imperfect” market, so you can better utilize price action analysis to your advantage. Any questions, comments or feedback welcome to let me know :) Thank you Below are all my price action structures/patterns videos on different type of corrections. Continuation and Reversal Correction Identify a correction for the next impulse move in price action analysis Impulse VS Correction Multi-time frame analysis Continuation Bull/Bear Flag Parallel Channel (Horizontal, Ascending, Descending) Reversal Ascending/Descending Channel Reversal Rising/Falling Wedge Reversal Double Top/Bottom Reversal Head & Shoulder Pattern Reversal “M” and “W” style pattern Reversal Impulse Price Action Continuation/Reversal Expanding Structure/Pattern

Closer look into Rising/Falling Wedge, Reversal Price Action Closer look into Rising/Falling Wedge, Reversal Price Action structures/patterns Hi traders: Today I will go more in detail on rising/falling wedge correction in price action structures/patterns. You might have already heard about these types of correctional structures, and many traders who utilize them. Certainly there are many ways of traders identifying them and taking advantage of these kinds of price action, so it's ideal for you to understand them in your analysis. We first need to understand that a rising/falling wedge is a REVERSAL price action. Meaning when the correction completes, there's a higher probability of the price to reverse. You might have already seen multiple price action videos from me that go over all sorts of continuation and reversal price action (I will share links below), and I always talk about when combining multiples of different price action structures/patterns will give you a better edge at entering positions that work out in your favor. Same idea here, so let's take a look at how rising/falling wedges are, how to identify them, and how to effectively use them in your analysis. Rising/falling wedge, just as the name suggests, is an ascending/descending type of correction where the price is getting squeezed into a “wedge”. As the price gets narrower and narrower, there's a higher probability of the price to “reverse” from the wedge. Now about entries, certainly many traders have their own method of entering, so I will share my point of view and the way how I like to enter them. Any questions, comments or feedback welcome to let me know :) Thank you Risk Management: 3 different entries on how to enter the impulsive phrase of price action Multi-time frame analysis Identify a correction for the next impulse move in price action analysis Continuation and Reversal Correction Continuation Bull/Bear Flag Parallel Channel (Horizontal, Ascending, Descending) Reversal Ascending/Descending Channel Reversal Double Top/Bottom Reversal Head & Shoulder Pattern Reversal “M” and “W” style pattern Reversal Impulse Price Action Continuation/Reversal Expanding Structure/Pattern

Continuation & Reversal Correction in price action structures In-depth look at Continuation & Reversal Correction in price action structures/patterns Hi everyone: Today I want to revisit the fundamental aspect of trading impulsive and corrective phases in Price Action Analysis. As you all know I focus on multi-time frame analysis and forecasting/anticipating the next impulsive move in the market. To me, the most important part of identifying the next impulsive phase of the market, is to understand how correction works. An impulse phase usually happens after a correction has finished correcting, so the key is to identify and understand how a corrections structure will complete so we anticipate the next impulsive move. You may have seen my videos on this topic, but today I will go more in detail on this, and explain the 2 types of correctional structure the market can create. The market can only be in 2 phases, impulsive phrase or corrective phrase. In addition, the corrective phrase can only be continuation, or reversal. So to fully have an edge in the market, is to understand what the correctional structure the price is currently making, whether a continuation/reversal, then forecast the possible price outlook, and go down to the lower time frames for possible entries. Now, it's important to understand that different traders/strategies/styles will call these patterns/structures in varies names. What they are called or identify isn't important, but the important aspect is to understand whether they are continuation, or they are reversal. In addition, simply seeing price action structures/patterns by itself, is not a good enough entry criteria for me. You want to combine multi- time frame analysis, top-down approach, and with multiples of these price actions all happening so it adds extra confluence for you to enter a particular trade. Seeing a H and S pattern, on a 5 minute chart, without considering the overall HTF and other factors, will not be a consistent move in the long run. Continuation Correctional Structure/Pattern Bullish/Bearish Flag Bullish/Bearish Pennant Parallel Channel Reversal Correctional Structure/Pattern Ascending/Descending Channel Rising/Falling Wedge Double Top/Bottom Head & Shoulder Pattern/Inverse H and S “M” and “W” style pattern Reversal Impulse Price Action I will forward all the price action structures/patterns videos I have made in the past to help you understand each of the structures more.

How to manage & deal with consecutive losses in trading ? Trading Psychology: How to manage & deal with losses/consecutive losses in trading ? Hi everyone: Today I want to go over a very key trading psychology lesson on how to deal with losses, especially consecutive losses. This is bound to happen to any traders, whether you are new or experienced. ITs something all professional traders will have to deal with on a regular basis. Understand that, dealing with losses psychologically is the key factor in the success of a trader. This is because losses are inevitable, and trading is a probability, which trades that you take will end up both in wins and losses. However, traders usually can not accept losses, due to their ego, greed and other emotional factors. Aside from having a good risk management, trading plan, and trading strategies, traders can still experience the psychological emotions of losing. This is due to the fact that we are humans and we are an “emotional” animal. We don't want to be wrong, at all. Taking a loss is like getting slapped in the face by the market, which we have egos to fight against. What ends up after taking losses or consecutive losses, it puts traders at a disadvantage where their emotion is high, and likely to “revenage” trade to chase back losses, which end up in a deeper hole. To deal with such psychological phenomena, take a step back and observe your situation: First, did you follow your trading plan/strategy on how to enter, set SL/TP, and management ? Second, did you take an emotional trade due to greed or fear of missing out ? Third, have you journal down your losses and review them to make sure they are trades you really want to risk your capitals on ? By now you will see why we need to review these. Trading is a probability, not right or wrong. It's a random variable that you are putting your $ at risk. So if you understand the rules and plans that you follow and execute a trade accordingly, then there should NOT be any negative emotions towards the outcome of the trades, whether they are winners or losers. When I discuss the trades I entered every week in my trade recaps videos, I am always happy to enter a position, even if it goes to a loss. This is because I have done enough backtesting, chart work, and plan to enter a position. I understand strictly from a probability point of view, I could have a higher strike rate, and more often the trades will end up as a winner rather than a loser. However, I also understand and acknowledge that some trades will end up in a loss, disregard mine technical analysis or other’s fundamental analysis. It is what trading is all about. When I have consecutive losses, I will always review the 3 points I mentioned above and make sure they are all valid for me. Then I simply will take 1 day off from the market, chart, phone, and just get your mind clear. Come back strong after 1-2 days of rest, and have a positive mindset. What traders often do when they have consecutive losses is to right away re-enter back into the market and try to chase back their losses. This has always been the downfall of losing and it creates anxiety in traders’ minds. Such a negative experience is going to stay in the traders’ mind longer and deeper, compared to consecutive winners. So wise we understand that is the case how our brain is "programmed” into thinking, then it's up to us to do the opposite, and fight the urge to “revenge” our losses. At the end of the day, no one is trading your trading account, except yourself. Taking ownership of your account, learning to control our emotions, understanding the probability side of trading, and learning to let go, drop our ego will help us in the long run in this industry. I hope these pointers can help some traders who are still struggling with this concept. It's impossible not to take losses, but professional traders deal with it on a regular basis and still remain consistent in the long run. Thank you I will forward some Trading Psychology educational videos below on some of the topics explained today.

BEST pattern BTCThis is the strongest Bitcoin Pattern. Its called the Ladel Pattern, and it Starts when BTC reaches All-time high. The Ladel pattern has been consistently appearing at every major all-time high of BTC. And the accuracy of this pattern is pretty high as you’ll see in this video. People are used to “One Size Fits All Patterns”. The ladle pattern is proof that each Currency/Stock does have their own unique patterns that cannot be found in the traditional textbook pattern list. I also mention in this video that BTC likes to fall 80% from all-time highs. This is also a strong indication that BTC might go back down to the $10k-$15k range. Many new traders/investors are tunnel-visioned on the current price. They forget to take a step back and look at the big picture. I’ve met BTC traders who said that BTC never fell more than 50% in its lifetime. Those are the traders that never looked at BTC chart before 2020.
