Why DCA Does Not Work For Short-Term TradersIn this video I go through why DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) does not work for short-term traders and is more suitable for investors. I go through the pitfalls than come through such techniques, as well as explain how trading should really be approached. Which at it's cost should be based on having a positive edge and using the power of compounding to grow your wealth.
I hope this video was insightful, and gives hope to those trying to make it as a trader. Believe me, it's possible.

Gold (XAU/USD) at a Critical Level – Key Zones to WatchCurrently, there is mixed bias in the market. On the higher timeframe (D1), the candle is rejecting with strong momentum, indicating selling pressure. However, there is also a possibility that it is forming a bottom wick, which could lead to a rejection from key levels like 2930.
Key Observations:
If 2930 acts as support, we may see a bounce, leading to a potential upside move.
If 4H sustains below 2930, it could indicate further downside continuation.
Trade Setup: 30m
🔹 Buy above 2045 if price shows bullish confirmation.
🔹 Sell below 2030 if price sustains under this level.

Some Old charts we posted:
$2.80 to $4.50 in 30 minutes$2.80 to $4.50 in 30 minutes 💥 Been waiting for this NASDAQ:GV trade whole days since morning Buy Alert and reconfirmation in after $2.50 held support strongly before the move 🚀
Called out 3 trades today, all 3 of them reached my pre-planned max target areas 🎯 They were NASDAQ:GV NASDAQ:CDXC NASDAQ:MASS
Excited for new ones tomorrow
USD/JPY Buys | 15M TimeframeCurrent orderflow/price action is bullish. I will be looking for price to retrace into this zone which is a 50-61.8% Fibb golden zone pullback and also would fill a 15m FVG and tap into a 15 OB. I will then scale down to the 1-5m timeframe and look for an entry if it presents itself.
#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 03.02 - 03.07.25Last Week :
Globex opened above VAH of 6054 - 5933 HTF Range and February RTH Cost basis which gave a hold to start the week to push us into the above Edge but more strength didn't come in, instead we ended up holding under 6074 - 60s and closer to Monday RTH open price failed in the Edge giving us a move into lower Value with a close inside it. Holding under Cost Basis meant weakness for longer term buyers and triggered moves lower all week as they needed to get out closer to month end we got. Lower Edge kept giving bounces back into Value which kept building more supply and when MM Month end came on Thursday we were able to take the stops under 5930 to give us continuation to test lower Value under 5870s. To finish the week we found buying inside lower Value and what I think was end of the Week short covering before the weekend which pushed us back into the Edge in the afternoon, all momentum traders had to do was buy it up under the Edge to push price back inside which triggered stops on the way up to give us end of day squeeze back into above VAL where all the supply was.
This Week :
We are starting a new Month and things can be tricky to start, we are at interesting locations on Weekly, Daily and Hourly charts with quite a few options going into this week so we really have to be open to different scenarios as things are not as clear as they were last 2 weeks going into Month End.
On Daily TF we have showed a failure over Daily Edge Top and at the same time have transitioned into a correction mode under it which gave us the move from Daily Edge into Daily VAH at 987 - 67 and flushed the buyers under it through Daily Mean towards Daily VAL at 846 - 28 without tagging it. End of week covering took us back into Daily VAH but left Daily TF in Correction mode under its MAs.
On Weekly TF we had a long consolidation in new Weekly balance over 5950s but we never transacted through the whole balance which means no acceptance in it, instead we built up a lot of Supply inside which at the end of the Month gave us this move back into lower Balance with a strong break and close under smaller MA with price closing right at the top/bottom ( depends which way we look at it ) of Weekly Balance. For now this tells us that we could see more weakness going into this new Month, as long as we hold under Weekly Smaller MA which is around 6010s and don't accept back above Daily VAH of 5987 - 67 then that could bring in continued weakness to rotate lower back towards Daily Mean and possibly test Daily VAL and maybe see a push under it.
Holding under the Daily Edge of 6073 - 43 implies continued weakness as well and will continue to target lower Daily areas all the way down into its bottom Daily Edge at 5754 - 24 which has Weak Stops and a Gap to fill under which was made during contract roll. Does not mean we will go there right away or go there at all of course BUT there are lots of things stacked up for more downside so far, of course we have to watch each area for continuation through but if there is still more sell volume to come out then we have to watch out looking for much higher prices from here and instead look for balances with weakness and rotations back down.
This week could play out as an inside week with weakness towards the bottom of previous week and IF there will be stronger volume then we could see last weeks lows get taken to give us pushes towards Previous Distribution Balance that we have made back in October which would be next big spot to visit.
On the Upside IF buying from Friday sticks and we start holding over 5930 - 40s then need to be careful forcing downside as we could build up enough and bring in more buying to push into above Value again, we do have trapped buyers inside it from last week so it would be a spot to be careful at as we could continue to see selling out of that Value on any pushes into it, for more strength inside that Value we would really need to push through VAL and start holding over 5970 - 90s which would signal stability and could have the price balance inside that Value and of course for anything higher we would need to take out February RTH cost basis above VAH because we have most of the buying from last few months trapped over it.

GJ | Still pushing downPrice is still trending down. I took a trade last night from the higher OB to the bottom of the range and it closed strong below the range. I will be looking for price to retrace back up into this 30M OB and will be watching lower time frame price action for confirmation to take it back down to the low. If price does not retrace back up that far and then continues to close below the current swing low, this trade will be invalidated.

#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 2.23 - 2.28.25Last Week :
Globex opened inside the Mean of HTF Ranges Value where we found balance to start the week, we had supply over 6144 so any pushes over which were made during afterhours kept coming back into the Mean but failing to continue tag VAL which kept the market stable and balancing over until we had RTH Volume make a push over 44 which held and brought in more buying to test previous ATH areas at 6160s but market needed to hold over 60s after such a move to bring in anymore strength, instead we came back in, trapped more volume over 44s towards the end of the week once we flushed into VAL, holding under 44 into the end of the week forced all the trapped volume over to sell out which started taking stops giving the move lower we were looking for that kept triggering continuation with every lower area it hit to finish the week right at lower VAH inside the RTH Cost Basis that was build on top of the gap down that failed to continue during beginning of the Month.
This Week :
A bit tricky week to start here or should I say finish this Month off as we are heading into last week of February we have few things to look at here. Yes we had strong selling, trapped a lot of buy volume this month over 6050s which is not getting the upside and time to pay or close has come, we finished last week with a strong sell back into 6054 - 5933 HTF Range which tells us that as long as we stay under the upper Edge could bring in more weakness and we should see continuation inside and towards lower targets BUT question this week is will it come during the beginning of the week or will February RTH Cost Basis make us wait until later in the week, of course that is IF more weakness comes at all right ?
For now what we know is we have close Friday inside 6064 - 6023 Intraday Range, we have a cost basis here under 6034 which could possibly prove to be good enough to give us some sort of a hold/balance at/over it to start the week, if this will be the case then we need to watch out for slower action again and some back and forth in this 6020 - 40s area, with any pushes towards 43 - 54 - 58 areas to be possibly met with weakness so need to watch out for price not sticking around there too long or not continuing over and instead returning back towards VAH into that cost basis. How long this area would hold is for us to find out but we don't have much market moving data to start the week, unless whatever news from Friday or this weekend will be enough to give us bigger moves to start the week. IF we do hold over to start the week I would still watch out for thinking bigger bounces from here back over upper Edge as we could find more sell volume come in Tuesday or Wednesday as long as we hold under 6050s that can bring in more selling closer to Month End as that will force more size to close out above positions.
If we do have strong volume and can open under VAL or get under 6023 - 18 area and hold under then that would change things and could bring in more selling sooner. Either scenario if we get under this cost basis we would be looking for continuation towards lower Globex Cost basis into VAL and that area may fold with volume and can give us pushes out of Value again for the lower Edge which would be the spot to watch again for any more weakness.
And of course for any strength to the upside from here we would need to climb back into the Edge and start holding over 6054 area AND see strong push over 70s that can hold over, until then really need to be careful with looking for more upside from 40 - 50s as selling could come and push us lower. If we do start holding inside/around the Edge then will need to be careful looking for too much downside from here as we need to keep holding under 50s to really bring in that weakness and cause more selling, if selling doesnt come this 6064 - 23 Intraday Range could become our balance range until we will be ready to accept above or below it which would cause back and forth inside it with pushes out coming back in.
