Poor Reversals GuidePoor Reversals Indicator This indicator finds Poor Reversals. Poor reversals are reversals in price with consecutive highs or lows that are close together. Look for the different types of highs and lows. Some say candle patterns don't matter, but they forget it's the orderflow that makes the pattern. Find poor, tweezer , and 1 tic rejections and study what happens next. We don't need to read the depth of market to see what the orderflow is saying. They are called poor because the auction didn't run its course. It didn't continue the direction until all activity in that direction was exhausted. Proper reversals create excess. Excess is a long tail/wick. A proper reversal leaves a long tailed excess unfilled. The different highs and lows give clues to what kind of orderflow happened there. The difference between them is which high or low happened first. Price does often come back to these areas and clears them up with a proper reversal. We can see them on all timeframes. Knowing what they mean in the orderflow helps with reading charts. The Poor Reversals are: Poor 1 Tick Rejection Tweezer When looking at 2 bars that have very close high or lows, there are a few different types. They are each poor and can be further defined as each are price action clues. If next low is higher, it's a poor low If next low is lower, it's 1 tic rejection If next low is equal, it's tweezer bottom If next high is lower, it's a poor low If next high is higher it's 1 tic rejection If next high is equal it's tweezer top Poor Highs and Lows: The high or low comes first. The next bar does not go past it. Poor highs and lows are often created from price exhaustions. This means at poor highs buyers are trapped. At poor lows sellers are trapped. Price ran out of steam to continue in that direction. There wasn't enough activity/participation to continue the auction in that direction. Poor lows are defined when 2 lows are very close, and the 1st bar is lower. The 2nd comes very close to a new low. It happens most when shorts, at the moment, "run out of steam". They were "too aggressive" and got themselves "short in the hole". When a poor low is made, price will bounce because shorts are buying to protect profits. Poor highs are defined when 2 highs are very close. The 1st bar is higher. The 2nd comes very close to a new high. It happens most when longs, at the moment, "run out of steam". They were "too aggressive" and got themselves "long in the tooth". When a poor high is made, price will pullback because longs are selling to protect profits. 1 Tick Rejections: The high or low comes last. The last bar goes just a little bit beyond the first bar. A "1 tic rejection" happens when a new low is made and quickly rejects. The name is misleading. It doesn't have to be "1 tic". Different markets have different measurements. For ES, it's less than 8 tics. For NQ, it's about 5-20 points. It varies depending on relative market volatility . 1 Tick highs are defined when 2 highs are very close, and the 1st high is lower. The second high is a small peek above. This happens when longs are aggressive and drive price up. Price makes a newer high and longs rapidly start taking profits. Their selling activity drives price lower. In the orderflow, longs likely closed at the same time new shorts sell. This competition to sell drives price lower. At the high, it says longs saw it wouldn't go higher and they took rapid exit. 1 Tick lows are defined when 2 lows are very close, and the 1st low is higher. The second low is a small peek below. This happens when shorts are aggressive and drive price down. Price makes a newer low and shorts rapidly start taking profits. Their buying activity drives price higher. In the orderflow, shorts likely closed at the same time new longs buy. This competition to buy drives price higher. At the low, it says shorts saw it wouldn't go lower and they took rapid exit. Tweezer Tops and Bottoms The highs or lows of the bars are equal. Tweezers most often mean that an aggressive trader is influencing price. They drove price in one direction and then quickly reversed sentiment. Tweezers most often happen in stop hunts. An aggressive trader found where the stops were located and then entered an aggressive order to turn the market. Tweezer Tops are defined when 2 highs are equal. The first bar sets the high. The second bar matches the high. This happens when there is an active seller entering. It could be simple profit taking from longs or new aggressive shorts. In price action, price will move up to find short stops. When the stops are found, the market reverses sharply lower. Tweezer Bottoms are defined when 2 lows are equal. The first bar sets the low. The second bar matches the low. This happens when there is an active buyer entering. It could be simple profit taking from shorts or new aggressive longs. In price action, price will move down to find long stops. When the stops are found, the market reverses sharply higher. Poor Reversals can be Poor, 1 Tick Rejections, or Tweezers. They are all considered poor and upon further investigation we can see they are created from different conditions in the orderflow. They are not called Poor Reversals because they are weak. They are called poor because of the action that happened there. One side got caught in a bad position. Other sharks in the market smelled blood and ripped them apart. This indicator is a work in process. While the concepts are great for real time trading, this indicator is not designed to be used in real time trading. It will repaint based on the bar close. The purpose of this indicator is to train our brains to see these nuances on candle charts. Some say candle patterns don't matter, but they forget it's the orderflow that makes the pattern. We must make split second decisions and knowing the context behind the orderflow reduces response time. These poor reversals don't have to retest, and the best ones won't come back. I use these concepts to find exits, where my trades might be wrong, confirmation I'm on the right side. It's amazing how these simple nuances can turn the markets. But sure enough, they do. Check them out in all time frames. It's a fun indicator to play with. Some markets do require tweaks to the “Ticks” setting. Too big and charts will be noisy. Too low and not much will show up. A general rule of thumb is more volatile markets need higher tick values while less volatile need lower Tick values. Higher timeframes are also more reliable than lower time frames. I've included some customizable settings and I plan on adding more in the future. Enjoy!

The FULL Security Guide to keep your money SAFEEmail: - Email Providers - Any reputable email provider with 2FA will do - If you want to get more into privacy and encrypting emails there is Protonmail or Preveil - You can alternatively also hook up your current email with the Thunderbird email client (use to be managed by Mozilla Firefox) it is overseen by a volunteer board of contributors. - 2FA - This is important, activating 2FA on your email is just as important as having it on exchanges. - Create an email specifically for Crypto, but also avoid using crypto keywords / personal information in the email, treat your email address like its public information. - Be on the lookout for Phishing emails, I made a post on how to identify phishing emails along with some useful tools here | How to spot a phishing email | - Quick tips for emails: - Don't trust email links - Double check the address bar of login pages - Know the levels of a domain - Check to see if your crypto sites allow a anti-phish banner that displays a code with their emails that you set. - Tracking pixels are also a thing, there not malicious in themselves, but they can potentially let attackers know if you have open an email / let them know the email exist and is active. Passwords / PINs: - Don't reuse them EVER - Use strong secure passwords, passwords managers make these easy to manage and generate passwords. - This includes your phone and 2FA app, if you have a weak pin (1234) for your phone and someone takes it, remember your 2FA app is then available (if same pin, or no pin/pass set), your email is automatically signed in (same for other accounts auto signed-in), and they can access your text messages. - Don't use words relating to crypto or personal information in your passwords (or email), if they are compromised in a breach, assume they will search for these terms to target crypto users and try the same combo against crypto sites or figure who you based on the information (email & password) and pivot to finding public information that could lead to them answering challenge questions for password resets. (Your first pet, is it posted on Facebook? How about your car? Your first girlfriend/boyfriend?) - Password Managers: These work wonders when managing passwords securely. They generate random strong passwords which can be adjusted, and its all kept in an encrypted database file, so even if a attacker gets access to it, they won't be able to access it without the password. - KeePass - BitWarden - LastPass - 1Password - Don't save passwords in your browser - Does it require verification for you to use the password? Also I tend to find extensions being more buggy as they have to interact with more 'moving' parts and changing configurations, and generally more people try to target and exploit browsers. 2 Factor Authentications (2FA): - Enable on everything possible - Use 2FA Apps instead of SMS whenever possible, SIM Swap attacks are real, and more common than you think. - 2FA Apps - Authy (Linux | Windows | macOS | Iphone | Android) - Google Authenticator (iOS | Android) - Microsoft Authenticator ( iOS | Android) - LastPass Authenticator (Browser Extension | iOS | Android | Windows Phone) -Hardware Keys - These are physical 2FA device - Backup codes: - When you activate 2FA on any account you should have the ability to generate backup codes, these are used incase you lose access to your authenticator, TREAT these like your seed phrases. Use them by logging in with your user and pass, and use these backup codes in place of the 2FA code you usually enter. - DO NOT take pictures of your QR codes, if you screenshot it, might end up syncing somewhere you don't want it to and if it ever gets compromised they have the ability to continually receive your 2FA code. - Also, DO NOT sign up for your 2FA app or any crypto service for that matter using your work or school email address. You lose access to that email, then consider all accounts gone as you won't be able to access the codes if you switch devices. Wallets - Learn the difference between the different wallets - Cold wallets will always be more secure than any hot wallets as they aren't connected to the internet - Top trusted hardware wallets: - Ledger - Trezor - Verify the details you are confirming on your hardware wallet device. the wallet app interacting with your cold wallet device could be compromised, but you would still be safe using it, as long as you verify each action on the cold wallet device, and reject the transaction if anything seems off. Seed Phrases : Treat these as they are the keys to the kingdom (Keep offline and out of your notes app) - Less Secure: - Write down on paper and either break up the phrase and place in separate secure locations or hide them like the the FBI is going to come search your house - Secure on USB - Get a file shredder (securely deletes data, and overwrites it) - Download password manager (optional) - Disconnect device from internet - Enter seed phrase into password manager / create encrypted file - Put on a freshly reformatted USB / datalocker (Worms like to spread by USB) - Save to USB, and shred the original using the file shredder software - Hide USB - Another device / old phone - Factory reset - Set Pin / Pass - Download 2FA app and password manager / file encryption tool - Disconnect from internet FOR GOOD (Treat this like a cold wallet) - Back up 2FA and seed phrases - Hide device VPNs / TOR: - Privacy vs Anonymity - Privacy is the ability to keep your data and information about yourself exclusive to you (They know who you are, but not what you do). - Anonymity is about hiding and concealing your identity, but not your actions. (They know what you do, but not who you are) - Think about what your goal is, I commonly associate privacy with VPN and anonymity with TOR - Both encrypt your data before leaving your device, then routes it through proxy servers to mask your IP/Location. VPNs you have to trust the provider (ensure they state there is a no log policy) while TOR runs through servers ran by volunteers (don't think governments don't run their own) and lets you access the dark web. Here is a more in-depth comparison on VPN vs TOR. - Personally Its worth paying the few bucks a month for a paid tier of the VPN service. - VPN Providers - Zero log VPN services: - ProtonVPN - Nord - Mullvad - TOR - Brave offers TOR, but I would treat this more like a VPN - If being anonymous is your goal the only real way to achieve this is running Tails off a USB. Browsers (Excluding TOR): - Top 3 Browsers built for privacy - Firefox - Epic - Brave (I know Brave draws criticism but I made a technical post showing how the trackers didn't show up within the metamask extension through brave compared to Google Chrome.) - Search Engine for privacy: DuckDuckGo - Extensions - One of the most dangerous threats I think that aren't taken seriously are extensions. These can start out legitimate, then through an update turn malicious. These will then be removed from the webstore, but not your browser. - Some will be removed the store due to not being supported anymore which = no more updates, and no more updates = vulnerabilities that won't be fixed - If you have Google Sync activated, these extensions will also sync to all those devices - Remove any extensions you don't need, check to see there still available on the store, and even search them to see if some security article like this pops up about it. - Check the privacy practice tab of the extension to see what data it collects. Other General Safety Tips for PC and Phone: - Harden your PC (Guide is for Windows 10, but can translate to other OS) - Update OS and any software // turn on automatic updates - Everything you download is an attack vector - Set firewall rules - Default deny, open only p855orts you need, disable rules you don't need - disable remote access - Install AV // Malwarebytes for removing malware - Turn on encryption - Setup user accounts // privileges' - Strong password - Whitelist addresses if possible (Some exchanges allow you to designate a address as 'safe' any other transactions besides those won't go through) - If you use a encrypted messaging service, I highly recommend Signal, if you haven't seen their reply regarding a subpoena you should - Lock down your social media accounts (go to security settings, turn off being able to be found via search engine, ad related settings, change who can view your posts, etc) - Don't disclose your holdings and earnings - Don't access your crypto on your work computer - Don't answer PMs about winning some contest or some amazing opportunity Phone: - Unique pin / password for the phone - download a password manager - email account purely for crypto - pin / password (different than getting into your phone) for your 2FA app. - Don't lend phone out - Avoid apps you don't need, read the 3 star reviews as they are the most honest) - Download VPN / be aware of the wifi your connecting to - Be aware of phishing - Call your service provider and see if they can lock your SIM card and prevent SIM swapping.

Trend Key Points Guide And Best PracticesTrend Key Points indicator is a side tool for traders to specify the pivot points and key levels in trends. You can use this indicator in different ways, but I will tell you my own way. I got excellent results by going this way; I hope it will be useful for you as well. Each trend has its high and low key points that are important in the next prices. Sometimes it’s hard to find out the points with a naked eye, this indicator marks these points and draws support and resistance lines from previous critical pivot points . The indicator draws the last two support and resistances of the price by default but you can adjust it in the options. The best practice would be to include the levels drawn in the upper time frames in small timeframes. I’ll explain it with an example. Let’s say I’m trading in the 4h timeframe. Starting from the above timeframe, I specify the key levels to the target timeframe I mean 4h. Assuming that the monthly levels are important in weekly, daily, and 4h timeframes. The weekly levels are important in daily and 4h timeframes and the daily levels are important in 4h timeframe. Notice that I don't just settle for the levels drawn by the indicator, and I draw the flat and oblique trends I see myself. If the key levels do not exist or are far away from the current price in the above timeframes you can rely on an important key point near or a level you think it's important. (w1 and w2 level drawn by myself from a key point) If the level of higher timeframe overlapped the lower one, the level gains more importance. After drawing multi-timeframe levels and trend lines, I’m going back to the 4h timeframe and I am looking forward to important price movements to be made at the drawn levels. Which moves are important to me? - If a new pivot high or a new pivot low appeared in the key levels or important trendline, I expect a return from there. - If a new pivot high or a new pivot low appeared in the key level or important trendline and the volume confirmed the pivot, I expect a return from there. What I mean by volume confirm is that volume is greater than the volume itself. Volume confirmation means that the volume is bigger than the volume MA (20 in my case). - If a candlestick pattern appears at the key level, the pattern will gain more importance. I use Abnormal Pin Bar and Common Candlestick Patterns Indicators for this. Also, the indicator measures the length of each trend and calculates the average length of recent trends (15 by default). I named it movement step length (MSL). I use this info to predict the possible length of the current unfinished trend . Usually, the length of the next trend is greater than the average length of the last trend specified by the indicator. Knowing this prevents me from exiting the unfinished trend early, which is quite possible when I'm nervous and have suspicions about the position. I think the best part is that you can set an alert for the new key point crossing a price level. so you will not have to wait in front of the chart all day. I am open to any improvement. If you have an idea or a suggestion, don't forget to leave a comment. Any feedback will be appreciated 😊

The Base & Quote Currency - What Are They?In forex the base currency is the first currency mentioned in the symbol (the first 3 letters). The quote currency is the second currency mentioned in the symbol (last 3 letters). The base currency is being given a 'quote' in the quote currency quite simply, saying that if you hold one base currency you will receive x amount of quote currency. If you take a buy trade (long) then you are effectively purchasing the base currency, expecting it to rise in value against the quote currency. Likewise if you take a sell trade (short) you are effectively selling the base currency into the quote currency, anticipating that the base currency will fall in value against the quote currency. With CFD's you don't need to own either of the currencies to trade them, as the contract makes you liable for the value of change of the forex rate based upon the contract size (lot size). The broker will calculate this value, convert the amount to your forex trading account's base currency, and issue you with the profit or loss. For example, lets say your account is in GBP and you buy one contract (1.00 lots) of EURUSD. The EUR appreciates against the USD by 10 pips, and your profit is 100 USD. The broker then converts this to GBP using the USD/GBP rate (currently 0.7040), making your profit 70.4 GBP! The broker issues this profit into your trading account.

📖 A Guide to RSI Divergences - By Trading-GuruIn this guide I will walk you through the three main different kind of divergences and explain to you how you can spot them. I also show you the extreme power RSI divergences have by looking at BTC/USD and mark them on the chart. It's quite special to see all these three kinds immediately after another, and it's really nice to see them all working out here as well. Obviously, no signal will not provide a 100% success guarantee. But this text-book example on the BTC price showing how they work out every time is great for both learning and profit taking. It can be very hard to trade an asset that has seen such immense growth and nearly vertical upwards momentum. Using RSI divergences you will still be able to predict price reversals and trade successfully. So let's take a closer look at the three different forms of RSI divergences that I cover here on the chart. Exaggerated Divergences Exaggerated divergences are similar to regular divergences, but are considered weaker and less predictive variations. The term exaggerated refers to a circumstance where either the oscillator or price makes an equal high or low. Regular bullish divergences and regular bearish divergences both have two exaggerated variations, so there are four exaggerated variations in total. In this case we look at a bullish version where the price is consolidating the but the RSI shows an increase in momentum. Hidden Bullish Divergences A Hidden Bullish Divergence is considered a continuation signal in an uptrend. It refers to a circumstance where an oscillator reading falls down below its previous low, while price is still higher than its previous low. Hidden bullish divergences are most likely to occur in the middle of an uptrend – often after a healthy pull back – and indicate that the uptrend will most likely continue. The starting point of a hidden bullish divergence should be a clear swing, not just a red candlestick. Regular Bearish Divergence A Regular Bearish Divergence is considered a strong reversal signal in an uptrend. It refers to a circumstance where price rises and makes a higher high, while the corresponding oscillator reading is still lower than its previous high. Bearish divergences are most likely to occur in strong uptrends and signify that upward momentum is weakening. A reversal – or at least a pull back – is then expected to follow. Regular bearish divergences also appear in exaggerated form. Follow me for consistent high quality updates, with clear explanations and charts.

ATR Indicator - How to Avoid Getting Stopped out of TradesIn this post we can see how the stops were taken out beyond. the 26600 price level. For any setup that a noobie trader may place, the SL would be taken out at this level; However using the ATR indicator we can avoid getting stopped out and keep our trade. I recommend you watch some videos on this indicator to get a better understanding but the main jist of it is -> Take a sweep low/high of a range and add/minus the ATR value (on the sweep candle) to get more legroom for price to move (but it will miss your stop) I hope you find this useful.

Multi Timeframe Analysis - different supply/demand levelsHello all, this lesson will be about my monthly/weekly, daily, 4h etc. supply/demands critical areas, so you can get a better idea why i use them. After you know the most basic thing about my analysis, we can start with the next baby steps in understanding price direction. This also goes for all of the structures such as closed triangles, trendlines etc. on the higher timeframes. I prefer using the term "supply and demands" since it is the correct one in economics. In other words supply and demand can be seen in every single product that is offered in a market. Sorry for my mistakes, it took me more than 15 recording in order to get this one. Thank you! Have a great trading week!

A Guide To The Fundamentals Of Support And Resistance TradingHere's my definitive guide on how to place your take profit, entry positions and stop loss orders when you are trading using support and resistance patterns. Many people have reached out to me asking to provide more details on where to place the orders exactly. In this guide I will share my experience, and show what I learned during my trading journey to be the most effective. Again, this is my personal view and the way I personally trade. If you have another view on this, I encourage you to share it in the comments. The reason all of us are on Tradingview is to learn. A trader would be quickly out of the market, if they don't continuously keep learning. Please challenge my explanation, ask questions, and share your own vision. Without further ado, here is the explanation for each of the orders: Take Profit. Many people will be looking at the resistance areas. As soon as the price comes close to this area, it will find friction and will struggle to go higher. Make sure you place your take profit limit order directly below the area of resistance, to stay ahead of the curve. This will maximize the chances of your take profit to get hit, even when the price prematurely bounces off the resistance area. Entry Position. Similarly to the logic of the take profit, you would want to place the limit buy slightly above the horizontal support. The closer you get to this zone of support, the more bulls will start to fight back and try to push the price back up again. Keep in mind, if you spot a support and resistance trade set-up, you don't necessarily have to immediately enter the trade. You can place a limit buy on the price where the pattern you spot would be validated. Stop Loss. Everything about a trade goes along with the assumption that the pattern you found is true. You should use a stop loss to make sure you exit the trade immediately after your pattern gets invalidated. For a support and resistance set up, this translates to the price breaking through the support. Follow me for consistent high quality updates, with clear explanations and charts.
