ETH—Time Has become CrucialETH has had 2 weekly closes below 3000 This is not too surprising nor should it be an end all be all indicator, that determines whether the bull run in BTC, Alts, or both, is coming to a halt or resuming With that being said, time appears to be getting important, as 3 weekly closes should certainly be concerning. Here we can see an intact trendline from multi-year lows all the way to more recent lows, until it just recently retested. Additionally, most volatile, and aggressive moves from from a flase breakdown, which washes out week hands one last time. -After hitting strong support at 2150, and dropping nearly 30% in hours, ETH QUICKLY recovered the entirety of its loses within a day. -2150 has several levels of strong support and a further array of support/former resistance levels with 25-50$ -Time is important here—I expect for ETH to make a beeline to 3000 early next week and definitively close above 3000 on the weekly chart, signaling the resumption of the altcoin bull market in earnest. -If this does not happen, I would say there is a cause for concern, and something is very wrong. It is also important to note the Bollinger Band crash on the weekly chart when 2150 was tested. The last time this exact scenario occurred, ETH rallied back well above 3000 in a short period of time.

How to Get Funded and Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025?How to Get Funded and Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025: A Step-by-Step Action Plan With prop trading firms offering funding to skilled traders, 2025 presents an excellent opportunity to trade with significant capital while limiting your personal risk. Here’s a detailed roadmap to getting funded and becoming a successful prop trader in the forex market. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 1: Build a Profitable Trading Strategy Before applying to a prop firm, you need a tested and profitable strategy that aligns with prop firm risk rules. Here’s what to focus on: ✅ Choose a Trading Style • Scalping – Quick, small trades (requires low spreads and fast execution). • Day Trading – Intraday trades with clear setups (most prop firms allow). • Swing Trading – Holding trades for days/weeks (lower stress, fits many prop firm rules). • Algorithmic Trading – Using bots or EAs (some firms allow automation). ✅ Develop a High-Probability Edge • Top-Down Technical Analysis (Identify trends using multiple timeframes). • Price Action & Market Structure (Support/resistance, breakouts, trendlines). • Risk-Reward Ratios (Aim for at least 1:2 RR on trades). • News & Fundamentals (FOMC, NFP, CPI, interest rate decisions). ✅ Backtest & Optimize Your Strategy • Use Forex Tester 5 or TradingView’s replay mode to test past market conditions. • Run at least 100-200 trades in a demo account. • Maintain a win rate above 50% with an R:R of 1:2 or higher. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 2: Master Risk & Money Management Most prop firms fail traders due to poor risk management. Here’s how to avoid that: ✅ Follow Strict Drawdown Rules • Daily Drawdown: Most firms allow 5% max daily loss. • Overall Drawdown: 8-10% max loss before account termination. • Solution: Risk only 0.5% - 1% per trade. ✅ Position Sizing • Lot Size Calculator: Always use a calculator to match risk per trade. • Adjust for Volatility: Trade smaller lots on high-impact news days. ✅ Risk-Adjusted Growth • Withdraw profits monthly to secure earnings. • Scale up gradually instead of over-leveraging. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 3: Get Funded by a Prop Firm 🚀 Top Prop Firms in 2025 for Forex Traders • FTMO – Up to $400,000 funding, 90% profit share. • My Forex Funds (MFF) – Up to $600,000 funding, 85% profit split. • The Funded Trader – 80-90% profit split, offers aggressive scaling. • Fidelcrest – Allows scalping, news trading, and EAs. • E8 Funding – Low drawdown rules, 80% split. 📈 How to Pass a Prop Firm Challenge Most firms require a two-phase evaluation: 1. Phase 1: Profit target (8-10%) within 30 days without exceeding the daily/overall drawdown. 2. Phase 2: Lower profit target (4-5%) within 60 days with the same risk rules. 3. Funded Stage: Trade firm capital with a profit split (usually 75-90% to the trader). 🛠️ Pro Tips to Pass a Prop Firm Challenge ✅ Risk only 0.5% per trade (low risk = higher success rate). ✅ Trade high-probability setups only (2-3 trades per day max). ✅ Avoid trading the first & last 15 minutes of sessions (high spreads). ✅ Use a prop firm challenge simulator before applying. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 4: Optimize & Scale Your Trading Career 🔹 Get Multiple Funded Accounts • Many firms allow traders to manage multiple accounts. • Use copy trading software (e.g., Trade Copier, FXBlue) to replicate trades across accounts. • Some firms have a combined max funding of over $2 million. 🔹 Transition to a Full-Time Forex Trader 1. Withdraw Profits Monthly – Secure earnings and reinvest. 2. Diversify Income Streams – Consider trading signals, coaching, or selling EAs. 3. Trade with Institutional Mindset – Focus on consistency over big wins. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 5: Use Trading Tools & AI Bots for an Edge 🔹 Best Forex Trading Tools in 2025 📊 TradingView & MT5 – Best for charting & analysis. 📉 AutoRisk Calculator – Automates lot sizing based on risk %. 🤖 AI & Algo Bots – AI-powered news sentiment analysis & high-frequency trading. 📅 Forex Factory & Myfxbook – Economic calendar & trade tracking. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 6: Stay Ahead in the Forex Market 🚀 Follow Pro Traders – Learn from institutions & hedge funds. 📊 Analyze Market Cycles – 2025 will be affected by interest rates & global policies. 📉 Avoid Overtrading – Focus on quality over quantity. 📈 Invest in Continuous Learning – Join trading communities & courses. ________________________________________ 🎯 Final Thoughts: The Fastest Way to Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025 ✅ Develop a tested, profitable strategy. ✅ Master risk & money management. ✅ Apply to top prop firms & pass the evaluation. ✅ Scale with multiple funded accounts. ✅ Stay disciplined, patient, and focused on long-term success.

GOLD (XAUUSD): Your Trading Plan For Next Week Explained Here is my price action analysis for Gold on a 4H. The market is currently trading in a sideways after an extended up movement that was completed 5th of February. We see a horizontal parallel channel formation. To confirm the next bullish wave, I suggest waiting for a breakout of its resistance. 4H candle close above 2887 will confirm the violation. A bullish continuation will be expected at least to 2900 then. Alternatively, a bearish breakout of the support of the channel may trigger a correctional movement. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Ichimoku Theories - Complicated? Keep it SimpleNYMEX:CL1! The Ichimoku Strategy is a technical analysis method using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator, which helps traders identify trends, support/resistance levels, and potential trade signals. It consists of five key components: Ichimoku Indicator Components: 1. Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): (9-period moving average) • Short-term trend indicator. • A sharp slope suggests strong momentum. 2. Kijun-sen (Base Line): (26-period moving average) • Medium-term trend indicator. • Acts as a support/resistance level. 3. Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): ((Tenkan-sen + Kijun-sen) / 2, plotted 26 periods ahead) • Forms one edge of the Kumo (Cloud). • A rising Span A suggests an uptrend. 4. Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): (52-period moving average, plotted 26 periods ahead) • The second edge of the Kumo (Cloud). • When Span A is above Span B, the cloud is bullish (green); when Span A is below Span B, it’s bearish (red). 5. Chikou Span (Lagging Span): (Closing price plotted 26 periods behind) • Confirms trend direction. • If Chikou Span is above past prices, it signals bullish momentum. Trading Strategies Using Ichimoku 1. Kumo Breakout Strategy • Buy when the price breaks above the Kumo (Cloud). • Sell when the price breaks below the Kumo. 2. Tenkan-Kijun Cross Strategy • Bullish signal: Tenkan-sen crosses above Kijun-sen. • Bearish signal: Tenkan-sen crosses below Kijun-sen. 3. Chikou Span Confirmation • Buy when Chikou Span is above past price action. • Sell when Chikou Span is below past price action. 4. Kumo Twist • When Senkou Span A crosses above Senkou Span B, it signals a potential bullish reversal. • When Senkou Span A crosses below Senkou Span B, it suggests a bearish reversal. 5. Trend Confirmation • Price above the cloud = bullish trend. • Price inside the cloud = consolidation. • Price below the cloud = bearish trend. Advantages of Ichimoku Strategy ✅ Provides a comprehensive market view (trend, momentum, support/resistance). ✅ Works well in trending markets. ✅ Offers clear entry and exit signals. Limitations ❌ Less effective in ranging or choppy markets. ❌ Can be complex for beginners. ❌ Requires confirmation with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD). Trade Smart - Trade Safe 🚀

Weekly Forex Forecast: GOLD & SILVER Are Bullish! BUY Them!This forecast is for the week of Feb 10-14th. Gold and Silver are both bullish, with Gold being the stronger of the two. I am not interested in selling either until I see a bearish BOS, as the swing structure is bullish, and the trend is up. Wait until the fractal structure is aligned with the overall market structure, which would make for higher probability buys to follow the trend.
