How to Identify Market Structure and Increase Your ProfitabilityHave you ever wondered, when is the best time to trade?
It all depends on what market structure is present at the current moment.
There are 3 different types of market structure:
1. Ranging
2. Trending
3. Indecisive
During a ranging market, prices can turn rapidly so taking profits quickly is crucial. Not optimal market conditions but can be traded if you don't get greedy.
During a trending market, prices can keep continuing in one direction and not look back. It's better to be more lenient on rolling your stops. Expect the trend to continue and trade accordingly. Once the trend ends, sit back and wait for a clear picture of the market.
During indecisive markets, you want to stay out! Don't touch. Avoid at all costs.
I appreciate you investing your time in your future.
Much Love

Day traders use numerous intraday strategies. These strategies include:
🛑 Scalping: This strategy attempts to make numerous small profits on small prices changes throughout the day.
🛑 Range trading: This strategy primarily uses support and resistance levels to determine buy and sell decisions.
🛑 News-based trading: This strategy typically seizes trading opportunities from the heightened volatility around news events.
🛑 High-frequency trading (HFT): These strategies use sophisticated algorithms to exploit small or short-term market inefficiencies.

What is Day Trading ?
📊 What Is Day Trading ? 📊
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Day trading usually refers to the practice of purchasing and selling a security within a single trading day. While it can occur in any marketplace, it is most common in the foreign exchange (forex) and stock markets. Day traders are typically well-educated and well-funded. They use high amounts of leverage and short-term trading strategies to capitalize on small price movements that occur in highly liquid stocks or currencies. Day traders are attuned to events that cause short-term market moves. Trading based on the news is a popular technique. Scheduled announcements such as economic statistics, corporate earnings, or interest rates are subject to market expectations and market psychology. Markets react when those expectations are not met or are exceeded–usually with sudden, significant moves–which can greatly benefit day traders.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When should we buy BTC?BTC continue to move down as we expected previously.
There is still no buyers to continue the uptrend.
Nobody wants to buy high. Reasonable.
So the idea is that BTC should correct till 34000 - 32000 soon.
Technically, we can see a strong level at 37300 on 4H and 1D Fibo.
Manage your short positions carefully.
Always remember that forecast is nothing without personal strategy.
It doesn't matter how you make your money.I'm responding to a few on how to survive and make some gains in wild markets (note the brutal disclaimer at the end).
The DJI has been pretty wild so, I use it as an example. Figures shown here are not my own. I only use the figures to explain why it doesn't matter how you make your profits. HFT's will do similar things, so why can you not?
Well, I show the value of the ATR on the 3 min time frame as a way of making an exploit. I have to say that this is mainly for day traders with a lot of 'bottle'. So in the most recent scenario, I show how 403 points could have been made shorting. I other scenarios there are slight gains and some losses. No trading strategy could ever guarantee 100% gains.
I show a technique for deciding on an entry point (long or short).
Exit points can be managed based on the RSI or trailing down and allowing price movement to stop you out.
Is this about luck? I don't think so. Luck is about rolling dice. This is a calculated logical strategy - so your not throwing money randomly in the market. The use of the ATR, RSI and retracement criteria at the start of the trend change means no die are being rolled here. This methodology is about readiness and positioning.

Market Alpha Sunday Futures UpdateES Mini is down but trying to recover. A lot of concern on the horizon for the markets. I would see how the futures process the word "tapering" from Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Summer months are typically relaxed trading months but this summer could be much different if inflation turns out not to be transitory. Stagflation is the biggest fear for the market and overall economy.
USD/SGD Long - 01 June 2021 | Hybrid Move Result: +3.00%Hey all,
Another quick breakdown of one of our key strategies.
The trade initiated from a Daily Jr. Zone stacked with a key quarterly and monthly trendline and of course a clean weekly area of demand. Beautiful price-action in my opinion at the higher-timeframes.
The overall higher time-frames were perfect when the trade was executed and the Dollar index was also located in multiple layers of demand. The last couple months we've been eyeing the dollar
for a clean recovery higher, the main reason for this was the fact that price was located in a key area of value at the monthly time-frame, at the weekly time-frame and at the daily time-frame as well|
by stacking our unique zones, we can gain an edge in the markets and by utilising multi currency analysis this trade was executed live together with a scale-in position which is still running with an additional
+3.16% locked in profits due to our trailing stop loss.
The 4hour entry was formed strongly after a bit of slowing down for the recent 4hour candlesticks. Price exploded to the upside due to fundamentals, even though we do not
trade fundamentals or check the news due to the subjectivity of it, we do love the volatility it brings to the table.
Text book setup in my opinion which provided some good profits.
Kind regards,
Max Nieveld

No its not a picture of Mickey Mouse...🐭It's a super clear diagram on what key ingredients you need to find the 'sweet spot' = profitability.
The thing is, most people are desperately hunting for the holy-grail, you know - that 100% winning strategy... the silver bullet.
It doesn't exist - I'm sorry. 😢
So even a profitable strategy that's awesome can blow your account if the other 'factors' are not considered....
Greed and risk management.
With poor risk management you can blow your account on a profitable strategy.
Much like if the casino didn't set a trade limit - they could go bust if a gambler got 'lucky' - because its the casino that has the mathematical 'edge', right?
You must factor in your losing runs to ensure you not exposing your account to the 'risk of ruin'.
So yeah a profitable 'edge' is key, but without managing your mindset and using effective risk management, its actually useless too.
Having an understanding of probability is fine too - but if you don't execute your 'edge' or if you don't have one, you won't be profitable too.
And lastly, yeah - you can have your risk management nailed on - but if you've not got a profitable edge too, you'll lose money.
Just less money.
You could absorb 500 consecutive losses on a £1000 account at 1% risk per trade, but you'd only have about £6 left. Your strategy would have to be really poor for that to happen!
But you catch my drift, that effective risk management is vital.
So in summary, you need these three key ingredients...
Strategy with an Edge
Effective Risk Management planning for probability
Trading Psychology - (greed under control, no fear, discipline, resilience, etc)
You can't get to the 'sweet spot' without all 3 being in perfect alignment.
Good luck.
Darren

BEWARE IMPORTANT COPPER PRICE LEVEL - HG1! - COPPER - DAILYThank you for your likes and comments! Really appreciated! This is an idea about Copper price, not a financial advice.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
The HG1! Copper Futures have been continuously rising... almost a year.
We realized that summer is coming and that this market have been beating all the selling power trying to bring it down of slower it>
How long is it going to last?
The blue lines represent the channel that the price is following. Being at the top of this channel and seeing a possible strong signal of a pullback, the probability of seeing the market profile change has risen.
The volume involved where huge but will it again beat it and keep going up further?
The next step down is probably at the dotted red horizontal line. Some other "super volumes" interventions happened in that past at that price level.
For a day traders, this is probably something to keep an eye on> For a longer term trader, lowering the exposition is probably smart at this price level. Reentering step by step after this level is passed or when the deep happens.
GBPUSDtaking into account the fact that USD is currently weak and that the pair still has momentum, it is still on the rise .... I think that GBPUSD can go up then we check to see if the price rejects.
NOTE: Please, give a LIKE if you find this idea useful!
