Analyst and Trader. What are the differences?
The main difference between an Analyst and a Trader is in their main goals.
For an analyst, the main goal is to determine the future price and write articles.
Most analysts give a double trend direction in their forecasts, as they worry about their incorrect forecast, and hedge in case of their mistake.
For a trader, the main goal is to MAKE a PROFIT when working in the market. At the same time, the direction of the trend is a secondary goal, since you can also make a profit by scalping when the trend does not matter much. Each trader has his approach to trading and his trading strategy. One trader opens a long position to earn money on the growth of quotations, but at the same time, another trader opens a short position on the same instrument to earn money when the price drops.
PROFIT is the main priority for the trader.
The analyst can show alternative options for the development of events, leaving the trader to make a responsible decision about actions in one or another option. At the same time, the Analyst does not risk anything - neither his money nor his reputation, since TWO OPPOSITE scenarios insure him from making a mistake.
As a rule, 65% of analysts do not trade themselves, but only write analytical articles and make forecasts.
A few facts about the analyst and trader:
Analyst:
- collects information and analyzes the market situation
- writes analytical articles
- makes forecasts (usually in two directions, for safety)
- probably trades/invests by himself according to his forecasts
Trader:
- determines the direction for a potential transaction
- performs risk calculation and installation of a protective order (stop loss)
- performs trading operations on the market to make a profit
- manages and accompanies the position from the beginning to the end
And who do you think you are? An analyst or a trader?

ETHUSDT AnalysisHello traders!
Today we gonna speak about Ethereum. As you can see, it has grown up far and away. Vitalik Buterin with his updates has built. Strong fundamental and make Ethereum one of the most attractive coin for crypto investors. As we’ve already told, there will be some more updates that’ll reduce commission but reduce the number of miners. It’s double edged sward, but we hope Vitalik will handle. Speaking about fundamentals, everything is more than good. Let’s speak about technicals. Have a look at the chart.
As you can see, now ETH is in local up-trend. At let least, it’s continue up to the end of the 2-nd Fib. Time zone. Moreover, the price action takes place between very strong support and resistance lines thus the probability of squeezes is low. Moreover, it respects the PitchFork I’ve built. Thus, we have a strong local uptrend. Judging by the price action I see three scenarios.
Scenario A
The price will go up, consolidate near the resistance line and break it above.
Scenario B
The price will reject from the resistance and go down. However, in my opinion, it’s the best variant cause the probability of reaching global buyer zone will be high. As we’ve already told you, the best variant of earning money safely is to buy on this level cause the probability of rejecting is about 100%
Scenario C
The resistance and lower border of pitchfork will build a triangle. Judging by my experience , it will be broken down.
Well, guys, I hope the information will give you a detailed view of Ethereum. I hope, you’ll build your own analysis based on my. Have a nice trading day!
YOUR PROFIT FORMULA | Three Essential Ingredients 🤔💭💫
Hey traders, We must admit that it is phenomenally difficult to become a consistently profitable trader.
This journey requires years of practicing and training, constant losses, and nervous breakdowns.
If you are a struggling trader, if you are still looking for your way to succeed in this game, here is the formula that will help you to chase consistent profits.
💰Consistent profits = 📝Trading Strategy + 🤬Emotions + 📈Market Sentiment
Let's discuss each element separately.
📝Trading Strategy:
To be in profit in a long run requires an understanding of what do you actually trade.
You must have strict and objective entry conditions.
You must rely on the objective & verifiable rules for the execution of market analysis.
You must have a plan to follow.
A plan that is backtested and proved its efficiency.
🤬Emotions:
Even the best trading plan, the most accurate trading strategy can be easily beaten by emotions.
Emotional decisions such as revenge trading and early position close
can easily blow the account of any size in a blink of an eye.
The most disappointing thing to note right here is the fact that you can be taught how to execute technical analysis but you can not be taught to control your emotions.
Your main enemy here is yourself and being in a constant battle with your greed and fear it is very easy to go broke.
Only by being humble, disciplined and patient, you can successfully apply a trading strategy.
📈Market Sentiment:
Mastering your emotions and having studied a trading strategy, it looks like it is finally the time to make money.
However, occasionally the market tends to be irrational.
Being chaotic and unpredictable, sometimes the market neglects every technical and fundamental rule.
Crisis, euphoria: the reasons can be different.
The fact is that such things happen.
And it is your duty to learn to deal with unfavorable market conditions.
💰To become a consistently profitable trader, you must become the master of these three elements.
Only then the doors to freedom and independence will be opened to you.

IMPROVE YOUR TRADING | Simple Flowchart For You to Follow 🧭📍
A short ⚠️disclaimer before we start:
the rules that will be discussed in this post are applicable only for technicians - traders that are relying on price action/structure/etc.
Also, we assume that structure levels do work and for us, key levels are considered to be the safest trading zones/points.
In order to increase the accuracy of your predictions analyzing different financial markets, you must learn to identify the direction of the market.📈
The identification of the market trend must be based on strict & reliable & testable rules.
It can be based on technical indicators or price action
Personally, I prefer to rely on price action.
Here are a couple of examples of how I identify the market trend:
There are three main types of market trends:
Bullish Trend
Bearish Trend
Sideways Market
Depending on the current direction of the market, on the chart, I drew a flow chart✔️ that will help you to act safely.
➡️Sideways market signifies consolidation & indecision. Usually being in such a state the market tends to coil in horizontal ranges.
To trade such a market safely, the best option for you will be to wait for a breakout of the range & wait for the initiation of the trend.
➡️Once you spotted a bullish market, do not rush to buy.
Your task will be to identify the closest strong structure support.
You must be patient enough to let the price reach that support first (and by the way, there is no guarantee that it will happen) and then you must wait for a certain confirmation.
Please, check the article about different types of confirmations:
Only once you get the needed confirmation you can buy the market.
➡️The same strategy will be applicable to a bearish market.
Spotting a short rally it is way early to just sell the asset from a random point.
You must find the closest strong structure resistance and wait for the moment when the price will approach that.
Then your task will be to wait for a confirmation and only when you got the reliable trigger you short the market.
🦉Try to rely on this flow chart and I promise you that you will see a dramatic increase in your trading performance.
And even though it may appear to you that this flow chart is TOO SIMPLE, in practice, even such a set of rules requires iron discipline and patience.
Thank you so much for reading this article,
I hope you enjoy it!

BNBUSDT Midterm AnalysisHello, traders!
After a small pause I decided to get back to Altcoin analysis. As you know, these coins give traders an opportunity both to lose money and cut the jackpot. Thus, you should enter the trades very accurate if you want to earn a lot. As for me, I’ll try to do my best to help you.
Well, today we’ll speak about BNB - one of the most trusted alt coin. Have a look at the chart.
As you can see, after a massive correction in May it usually tried to gain the price but failed and became choppy. However, as you can see, it has already started its second attempt and is in a strong up-trend now. In my opinion, everything will be a clear in a few days - very significant level is about to be reached to the price - 0.382 Fibonacci. If bulls have enough power, it will be easily broken and the price will go up. However, there’s another even more significant level 0.5 Fib. As you know, the area between 0.5 and 0.618 is very important. Moreover, it’s called «the golden pocket», that means that the price will consolidate in this area with high probability. Bulls have enough power to break the 0.382 Fib. Level in my opinion. Is this enough to enter «golden pocket»? We’ll see.
However, if you look at Chaikin Oscillator, you’ll see the bearish divergence. Look at the chart. Can you see it has worked off? There was minor downtrend. In my opinion, we shouldn’t consider the divergence worked off. This, there is another scenario of price action - down-trend. The price will go down, breaking the support trend line. Judging by all my thoughts a have built several scenarios.
Scenario A
The price will break 0.382 and 0.5 Fib. with further consolidation in «golden pocket».
Scenario B
The price will break 0.382 Fib. but the 0.5 is a hard nut to crack for bulls. But the power still enough, they don’t want to lose bears, that are gaining power. Such kind of scenario gives us sideways.
Scenario C
The divergence will work of and the trend will reverse with further consolidation in are under 0.382.
Well, guys, I hope this info is useful for you. I always tell you, but I’ll repeat, make your own analysis based on my or not. Don’t follow me blindly. It’ll boost your trading skills roughly. Have a nice day, dear traders!

Keltner Chanel From ScratchHello, traders!
So many times I’ve tell you how important volatility detection is. Both for your strategy and coin screener. In this term, I decide to extend your pool of volatility detectors and today we’ll speak about Keltner Channels.
Keltner Channels are volatility-based bands that are placed on either side of an coins’ price and can aid in determining the direction of a trend. The Keltner Channel is a volatility-based technical indicator composed of three separate lines. The middle line is an exponential moving average (EMA) of the price. Additional lines are placed above and below the EMA. The upper band is typically set two times the ATR above the EMA, and the lower band is typically set two times the ATR below the EMA. The bands expand and contract as volatility (measured by ATR) expands and contracts.
This is one of the most multifunctional tools I’ve ever used. I’ll try to give you the complete description of all functions, but it seems that they are much more.
• The angle of the channel helps to identify trend direction.
• A price move above the upper band shows price strength (uptrend)
• A drop below the lower band shows price weakness (downtrend)
• If the price is continually hitting the upper band, but not the lower, when the price does finally reach the lower band it could be a sign that the uptrend is losing momentum.
• If the price is constantly hitting the lower band, but not the upper, when the price does finally reach the upper band it could be a signal that the downtrend is near an end.
• The price may also oscillate between the upper and lower bands. In cases like these, traders may use the bands as support and resistance. They may look to buy when the price reaches the lower band and then starts to move higher again and may look to sell or short after the price starts to fall again after reaching the upper band.
• After a sideways period, if the price breaks above or below the channel and the channel starts to angle the same way, that may signal that a new trend is underway in that breakout direction.
As you can see guys, this tools could be very useful on any strategy. Moreover, many traders use it in algorithmic trading. It means that it’s very useful and easy to interpret.
MFI From Scratch
Hello, traders!
As you know, the knowledge of a coin be overbought or oversold can be very profitable for any trader. That's why it's very important to identify these states. Moreover, the indicator that help us has already been invented. Well, today we'll speak aboout Money Flow Index.
The Money Flow Index (MFI) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume data for identifying overbought or oversold signals in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100.
Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI.
There are two possible ways of using this oscillator - diverhence and detecting overbought and oversold regions.
It's rather easy to detect divergence of price with MFI. If you don't know whhat divergence is, read our cheat sheet to be aware of such powerful tool.
The overbought and oversold levels are also used to signal possible trading opportunities. Moves below 10 and above 90 are rare. Traders watch for the MFI to move back above 10 to signal a long trade, and to drop below 90 to signal a short trade.
I hope, you'll find the information useful. I try to make the articles that are interesting for me. However, I want to know your oppionoin. Write down to comments what is intersting for you.
BNBUSDT AnalysisHello, traders!
Today will speak about BNB, one of the most powerful Altcoins. Looking at the chart, I can’t resist the temptation to make an analysis for you. So, here we go, without extra words, just have a look at the chart.
As you can see, BNB has already retraced after a huge fell. However, it has a potential to go even higher, cause the reject from the buyer zone (0 Fib) was very sharp. Judging by even this, we can make a conclusion that bulls are more powerful in this cycle. However, lot’s of factors can correlate with BNB price, thus dump is possible too. Well, let’s just sketch some scenarios.
Scenario A
The price will break up the 0.5 Fib level, consolidate in «golden pocket» and probably, break the triangle above.
Scenario B
Some kind of events like tweets of «geniuses» LMAO or just money outflow can easily dump the price. However the probability of going lower than 0.236 Fib is extremely small.
Scenario C
Sideways or choppy market. Nasty period for any trader but cannot be written off. Thus, be ready and for such kind of price action
I hope guys my thoughts inspire you to trade more and boost your skill every day. We’ll move together to our common cherish dream - come up richer and more successful. Have a nice trading day, ladies and gentlemen!
