TYPES OF TRADING ORDERS AND HOW TO USE THEMPending orders Somewhere you can find the term as "Deferred orders". These are orders that will be filled in the future, once a certain condition is met. Most often this condition is reaching a certain market price. The most popular pending orders are Stop and Limit! Both types of orders become market orders when the initially set price is reached. The difference between them is that Stop Orders can be activated at a worse price than the set price, depending on market conditions. Limit orders cannot be activated at a price lower than the set price, the price must be either equal to the set price or even more advantageous. Depending on the purposes of the trade, different deferred orders are used. A breakout of a level is traded with a Stop order A pullback from a level is traded with Limit order. The types of Pending Orders are: Buy Limit; Sell Limit; Buy Stop; Sell Stop; OTO; OCO; and other. Market order This is an order where you enter a trade, regardless of buy or sell, which is executed at the current best price. For example, if you want to buy GBP/USD, you click directly on the corresponding button and the trading platform automatically places the deal on the market. When you click on the "Sell" or "Buy" button, you actually place a market order. Keep in mind that depending on market conditions, there may be some difference between the price you see and the price at which the order will be executed. Stop Forex orders - Buy Stop and Sell Stop The Stop orders to enter a deal are different from the Stop Loss order to limit the loss! Buy Stop order is used when you want to buy at a level higher than the current market price. It is placed higher than the level at which the price is currently. Sell Stop order is used when you want to sell at a level lower than the current market price. It is set lower than the current price level. For example, EUR/USD is currently trading at a price of 1.1860, you think that if it reaches a price of 1.1960 it will continue to move in an uptrend. In this situation you have two options: To sit in front of the screen waiting for price to reach 1,1960 so you can buy, or; To place a Buy Stop order at the 1,1960 level. However, if you think that the price will fall in the coming periods, instead of staying at the computer and wait for a convenient time to sell, you can place a Sell Stop order at a level lower than the current market price - on the chart 1.1760. Limit Forex orders / Buy limit and Sell Limit Buy Limit order is used when you want to buy at a level lower than the current market price. It is set lower than the current price level. Sell Limit order is used when you want to sell at a level higher than the current market price. It is placed higher than the level at which the price is currently. For example, EUR/USD is currently trading at a price of 1.1860, you think that if it reaches a price of 1.1960 it will bounce off the level and go into a downtrend. In this situation you have two options: To sit in front of the screen waiting for price to reach 1,1960 so you can sell, or; To place a Sell Limit order at the 1,1960 level. However, if you think that the price will fall in the following periods and then rise, instead of you sitting at the computer and wait for a convenient time to buy, you can place an order to buy a limit below the current market price - on chart 1,1760. Above is a summary chart of the orders and where they are placed. Let’s summarise: Buy Limit - pending buy order placed at a price lower than the current one; Buy Stop - pending buy order placed at a price higher than the current one; Sell Limit - pending sell order placed at a price higher than the current one; Sell Stop - pending sale order placed at a price higher than the current one; OCO orders / One Cancels The Other The OCO order is a combination of two orders to enter into a trade. One order is placed above the current market price and the other below the current market price. When one of the orders is reached, it is executed and the other one is automatically deleted from the trading platform. For example, EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.1850. You expect great volatility in the market and you do not want to miss the movement. In this case you place an OCO Forex order at the level of 1.1880 (above the market price) in anticipation of an upside move and at the level of 1.1820 (below the market price) in case the price goes down. When the market reaches 1.1880, you will buy EUR/USD at this level, and the order placed at 1.1820 will be deleted from the trading platform. OTO orders / One Triggers The Other OTO allows the trader to place two orders simultaneously, the second one being activated after the first one. This type of order allows many different combinations. For example, a buy order can be placed at a pre-set price, above the current one (Buy Stop) and a second order can be placed together with it to limit the loss from the buy order, in case the price goes in the opposite direction. In this case, the loss limit order will only be activated if the buy order is activated. The orders described so far are for entering into a trade, but you must also exit the trades. This is done by using “Stop Loss” and “Take Profit”. Trailing stop Trailing stop is an order to limit the loss, which moves along with the market price. It can be said that this is a moving Stop Loss. And here is how to do it! Suppose you want to buy GBP/USD at a price of 1.2820. You place a trailing stop at a distance of 20 pips at a price of 1.2800. When the price goes in your direction and reaches the level of 1.2840, then the trailing stop will move by 20 pips or at the level of the entrance to the transaction. Then if the price reaches the level of 1.2860, then the trailing stop will move to the level of 1.2840. Keep in mind that if the price returns from 1.2860 to 1.2850, the trailing stop will NOT go down to 1.2830, but it will remain at 1.2840. If it was to move down back with the price, it makes no sense, because it will never be reached and will not be able to limit the loss of the deal. And then you will find out first hand what Margin Call and Stop Out is! Another important feature to keep in mind is that the trailing stop is only active if the trading platform is active. If the platform is closed, then you do not have a Stop Loss order at all! Conclusion These are the most frequently used orders on the Forex market and they are totally enough, there is no need to complicate trading. Before you start trading live, get familiar with the conditions of the broker regarding the orders. Make sure that you understand them and that you can use them correctly. The best teacher remains the practice, therefore, open a demo account and test the capabilities of the platform. 👍 Please support this tutorial with like and comment so we can help more people together.

FLAG PATTERNS & PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND BULL AND BEAR FLAG FORMATIONSHi everyone and Good morning. Welcoming you back (after 18-week break) Thanks for your like and supports. This is Part 3 of my Technical Analysis series of CHART PATTERNS BULL AND BEAR FLAGS Now, for those meeting the words BULLS and BEARS for the first time, these are terms used to describe the buying and selling action of traders BULLS generally refer to the price action of buyers as they drive Stock PRICES UP, while BEARS refer to the selling action of sellers as they drive stock PRICES DOWN. For starters, let’s define what a Flag pattern is: A flag pattern is a TREND CONTINUATION PATTERN . It is named a flag pattern because its formation resembles a flag on a flagpole. The pole is usually the result of an almost VERTICAL RISE IN PRICE, and the flag part results from a PERIOD OF CONSOLIDATION When the price breaks out of the consolidation range, it triggers the next move higher. Flag patterns can either be BULLISH or BEARISH. Follow me closely, as We will now look at BULL and BEAR Flags in turn: BULL FLAGS Bullish flag formations are found in stocks with STRONG UPTRENDS. They look something like (sketch 1 on chart) As can be seen on the sketch 1 chart above, the pattern starts with a STRONG, ALMOST VERTICAL price spike, that eventually start losing steam forming an orderly pullback where the highs and lows are parallel to each other forming the FLAG in the form of a tilted rectangle. The tilted rectangle (flag) usually breaks to the upside resulting in another powerful move higher, usually measuring the length of the prior flag pole (Let’s consider the sketch 2 chart) Now let’s look at BEAR FLAGS : The bear flag is an upside-down version of the bull flag. It has the same structure as the bull flag but inverted. looks like sketch 3 As can be seen above, the flagpole forms from an ALMOST VERTICAL price drop, which is followed by a period of consolidation, with parallel upper and lower trendlines forming the flag. A break of the support structure of the flag, results in another move lower, with the same length as the prior pole. Just as with any Chart pattern, there is usually psychology behind its formation. Let us look at the PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND BULL AND BEAR FLAG FORMATIONS: On bull flags, the bears (short sellers) get blindsided due to complacency as bulls (buyers) charge ahead with a strong breakout causing bears (short sellers) to either panic and cover their ‘shorts’; or add to their ‘short’ positions. Once the stock is in the consolidation stage, the bears (short sellers) regain some confidence and they add to their ‘short’ positions with the expectation of a price drop; only to get trapped again when the price break to the upside causing short sellers to cover their ‘Shorts’ thereby driving prices even higher Since some short-sellers from the initial flagpole run up may still be trapped, the second breakout forming through the flag can be even more extreme in terms of the angle and severity of price move. That is precisely the psychology behind BULL FLAGS; and that same psychology applies on BEAR FLAGS, just in reverse. Now let’s consider the sketch 4 on how we can make money from bull and bear flags: On a bull flag, you typically want to enter a Long trade on a breakout to the upside. Take profit target should be the same length as the prior flagpole. Stop loss should be placed just below the broken resistance line, which will now be acting as support. I will leave it here for this week, that’s all I had in store for you. Follow me And JOIN me again next week as we will be talking about another Chart Pattern that works. Until then, here is to Profitable trading!

The 3-Step Method That Predicts a Change in TrendThe 3-Step Method That Predicts a Change in Trend The three steps are: 1. A trendline is broken. 2. There is a retest and failure. 3. Price falls below the prior low These three steps define a stock that has moved from an dowtrend to a uptrend. Learn these three steps and you will never trade on the wrong side of the trend again. Step 1. A trendline is broken Step 2. There is a retest and failure We know that a stock in an downtrend makes lower highs and lower lows. When a stock fails to do this, we should be begin to question the trend. This stock has now tested that prior low - and failed. So, this stock is no longer making lower lows. But, it is not making higher highs either! So far, there is no confirmation that the trend has changed. Step 3. Price rises above the prior high

We usually based on historical data to plot the horizontal support/resistance zone. There fore, the close of candle or the shadow of it getting over that zone are quite common - Because we base on historical data to plot it, so it doesn't have significant value in some specific cases. Not every time that price approaches that zone and bounce back. And not all the bouncing back case meet our expectation. - All should depend on the surrounding theme of market, we have to look careful on specific cases to consider applying the Support/Resistance zone logically. - All market are freely traded so there is always a chance to form a brand new Support/Resistance . Good luck !

Parabolic Curve Pattern, CAurve of the Trend Conqueror SectionWhat Is the Pattern of a Parabolic Curve ? The Parabolic Curve pattern is a curved line pattern that is formed by following a candlestick formation when prices rise or decline rapidly. Visually, the curved line pattern follows the correction points. The lay language, when the price forms a pattern like a staircase, the curved line follows the base on the steps. Parabolic Curve patterns are generally found when the market is in panic-buying or panic-selling conditions . That is, the price moves to one direction in a short time because it is driven by the dominance of the seller or buyer. In these conditions, the opportunity to gain profits is wide open, especially when the price moves to break through the curved line pattern. In essence, the pattern of Parabolic Curve indicates the point where prices will begin to approach saturation (overbought or oversold). If the price has touched its saturation point, the price opportunity to reverse direction will be even greate Price climb very fast in a very short period. Chart gradient is more than 45 degree when you zoom out the chart by expanding the time frame. When the chart breakdown, the stock price plunges close to 50% Fibonacci Retracement Level within one or two months Did you Get Burnt? The Parabolic Curve Pattern Strategy usually does occur during sharp economy motions. Industry speculation which becoming ahead of itself leads These kinds of movements. Traders usually find themselves front-running an occasion. So one of many public ways to recognize a more parabolic curve blueprint is that the period beforehand of the big event. How Can You Make Money With a Curved Line Pattern? Trading strategies using the Parabolic Curve pattern are quite simple. No complicated calculations or combinations of indicators are needed to improve the accuracy of trading signals. The emphasis of the accuracy of trading signals on the Parabolic Curve pattern lies in the trader's skills in identifying market dynamics through price action charts. Following are the practical steps: Look for currency pairs or other assets whose trend movements are strong; note the price movements in the pair whose price movements have a slope of more than or equal to 45 degrees to one direction and tiered like a ladder. Use the trading tool to draw curve lines; some trading platforms provide a built-in Parabolic Curve tool, for example tradingview. As for MT4, you can still use the help of an ellipse curved line pattern instead of the curve. Pay attention to price movements through candlesticks; if the body of the candlestick appears to break the curved line pattern, the price will have the potential to reverse direction from the previous trend. Open Position with Money Management. After the trading signal appears to open a position, use the basic money management rules such as the percentage of capital and the Risk / Reward Ratio so that the risk of each position can be controlled. You can make fast money by riding on Parabolic Curve but you must know when to get out. The above three charts start crossing down the 20D MA, that is the 1st signal to get out. When crossing 50D MA, that is the 2nd signal to take profit or cut loss. When trading with Parabolic Curve, must keep an very close eye on the chart pattern every day.

RISING AND FALLING WEDGES Good afternoon. Today we are looking at another chart pattern RISING AND FALLING WEDGES . Let’s get on it. Wedges can either be continuation or reversal patterns. Just to refresh your memory, continuation patterns are formations that show side way price action, signalling a temporary pause in the trend; whereas reversal patterns indicate a change in the trend. Whether wedges are continuation or reversal, it’s not really significant, what matters is spotting the pattern, and knowing how to make money out of it. Wedge patterns are classified as either RISING WEDGES OR FALLING WEDGES. Rising wedges, as the name implies, slopes upwards, and they eventually break to the downside Graphically, rising wedges look like the above sketch chart(Sketch 1) notice how the slope of the support line is steeper than that of the resistance. This indicates that higher lows are being formed faster than higher highs. That is precisely how the wedge pattern get to be formed. The inverse of the rising wedge is the FALLING WEDGE , which usually breaks to the upside.(Sketch 2) Just like on the rising wedge pattern, the falling trend line connecting the highs (resistance) is steeper than the trend line connecting the lows (support). As mentioned earlier, rising and falling wedges can either be continuation or reversal patterns. But whether they be continuation or reversal patterns is not our focus, our focus is on making money when these patterns ‘BREAKOUT’ . If you case you are wondering what we mean by ‘breakout’; consider the chart above(Sketch 3) of a falling wedge and a rising wedge, and how they typically break to the upside and downside, respectively Now let’s look at how we can make money out of a RISING WEDGE PATTERN. Let’s start by considering the chart (Sketch 4) Now, when entering a Short trade based on a rising wedge, it’s important to wait for a break and close below the support line. After this close, aggressive traders can ‘pull the trigger’. But a more conservative way to enter the trade, is to wait for a retest of the previous support (now resistance) before pulling the trigger. In this case the sequence will be something like this: 1. Wait for a close below support 2. Wait for a retest of the previous support 3. If the previous support act as resistance, then enter short trade A Long trade based on a falling wedge is entered on the same principle (but in reverse), that is, 1. Wait for a price close above resistance 2. Enter Long trade at that close (for aggressive traders) 3. For conservative traders, wait for a retest of the previous resistance (now support) before pulling the trigger That’s ENTRY, now let’s look at placing stop loss and take profit levels when trading wedge patterns. Take profit target should ideally be the height of the wedge formation. Consider the chart above(Sketch 4) Stop loss orders should always be placed at a level that if hit, it will invalidate the trading set up. In the case of rising wedges, this level will be the area just above resistance. The opposite is true for falling wedges, place stop loss just below support. Thanks for your Likes and Support.... Until next time, let’s keep if Profitable!

What is momentum?Momentum is another word for how the price on your charts moves. Momentum analysis, though, is one of the most important skills any trader can learn. What is momentum? First of all, we need to understand what momentum actually means but this is straightforward. Momentum = Trend strength There are two ways of looking at momentum. The first one just looks at the overall trend strength. When the price is in a strong or healthy trend, traders say that the momentum is bullish or bearish (in a downtrend). When we come to the micro level later, we will see that momentum also exists when we just look at individual candlesticks. A long candlestick without wicks (shadows) usually is considered a high momentum candlestick.

SMALL VS LARGEI have given thought to this and this is my opinion. >>>>>Small account In order to grow a small account to sustainable levels, higher risk will be applied compared to a large account. What i mean by this is, 1-2% monthly gain can be sustainable on a large account but on a small account that would be insignificant. To bridge this gap one has to increase position sizing, increasing the risk & the draw-down. Overall : High exposure to risk . High draw-down. High monthly % returns targets. Harder to grow. >>>>Large account Low risk Low monthly % target returns. Low draw-down. Safer. This makes growing a small account difficult to grow compared to maintaining a large account. If one was to apply the same risk used in a small account to a large account then it too, will be subjected to the same conditions hence making it a 'small account' from the traders view point. These are just my opinions and maybe flawed from another persons point of view.

Dont be a D#@K.... its DUCK.. honestly ;p Here we have some really strong support and resistance levels drawn on the chart ( green lines ) They are classed as strong because price touched them and then bounce a number of times ( I will let you figure these out for yourselves... I'm not spoon feeding you ) ;p You can also see a lovely trend line TL that has been touched more than once, so this is also classed as strong. Now because these levels an TL are strong a break of any of these could see a big move, again you can see all this on the charts. When price is these key levels in NO MANS LAND we tend not to take a trade, we will wait for price to retest these levels and wait for a break or a bounce before jumping in a trade. I keep saying it and I will keep saying it until you get p#@sed off with me...... but patients is key!!!!!!! Get the larger timeframe charts up ( we like to use 1 day and 4H charts ) and zoom all the way out... this will make spotting these levels so much easier. So don't be a D@#k and practise this... it will make you a more profitable trader. I hope this has helped you.
