HOW And WHY The Markets MoveIn this video I explain HOW and WHY the markets move.
At it's core, trading is a zero-sum game, meaning that nothing is created. There must always be a counter-party to any trade, after all it is called "trading". Because of this, liquidity is the lifeblood of the market and it is what is required by all participants, albeit more for the larger entities out there. In order for these larger entities to trade, they must do so in stages of buying and selling, and not all in one single position like we do as retail traders. They buy on the way down, and sell on the way up, throughout many different time horizons. Therefore, they require price to be delivered efficiently in order to sustain this working machine.
I hope you find the video somewhat insightful. Regardless of your beliefs, I think it can be agreed that these two principles are what drives the marketplace and it's movements.

ORDER BLOCK AND FAIR VALUE GAP SMART MONEY CONCEPT**Order Block**:
An order block is a specific price area on a financial chart where institutional traders have placed large buy or sell orders. These areas often lead to significant price movements and are used by traders to identify potential zones of support or resistance. Order blocks represent clusters of orders from big players like banks or hedge funds, signaling where major buying or selling interest lies. When price revisits these zones, it often reacts strongly, making them valuable for predicting price reversals or continuations.
**Fair Value Gap**:
A fair value gap (FVG) is a price range on a chart where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers, often created during periods of high volatility or news events. This gap typically occurs when the market moves so quickly that trades do not fully fill, leaving a visible gap on the chart. Traders use fair value gaps to anticipate potential price retracements to these levels, as the market tends to revisit and fill these gaps over time, aligning price with its perceived fair value.
Both concepts are crucial in technical analysis for identifying key price levels where significant market activity is likely to occur.
Overview of good ideas I had :)☝️Dear traders, no one here has superpowers, and I'm as well just a human. Please take everything with a degree of doubt and critique. I'm just sharing my view and one of the possible scenarios of price action. When I enter I try to predict as little as possible and actually follow what the market is doing, joining the market and not arguing with it or forcing my will. Have good trading, keep a constant flow of self-awareness, and do your best. 🙌
Volume profile confirmationsWatch this clip to learn how the volume profile can be used as an extra confirmation when looking for optimal entry criteria.
What to do when you do not have any good POIsWatch this video to learn how to adjust your thought process when the market does not give you any valid POIs to work with. I struggled with this for a long time.
WHY DO WHAT THE 90% ARE DOING WHEN YOU SHOULD DO THE OPPOSITEI saw an enormous liquidity pool being created by price on GBPUSD. All i was anticipating was for price to come attack that area which i call the HOTSPOT. The market is seeking for liquidity time after time,so have it in mind that price is built to attack all strategies. Liquidity is the only reason price moves,this is why even after all the confluence and confirmations you get according to your strategy you still find yourself loosing,that is because you got caught up at the HOTSPOT. All strategies work but if you can understand where price wants to attack you can become exceedingly consistent in this market. Bear in mind that price do not care about your strategy,all price cares about is your money
Framing high probability setups using orderblocksEveryone is trading orderblocks these days.. so how do you use orderblocks to frame a high probability setup for yourself?
In this video I will show you exactly what criteria I look for when framing a high probability setup.
When I want to trade right off of an orderblock, there are a few things that I look for.
1. A Swing high or low
2. Imbalance above or below the swing point
3. An orderblock just past the imbalance
These 3 confluences together increase the profitability and probability of my trades and will help you increase your profitability as well.
Best of luck!
