EURNZD CASE STUDY 1:60 RRLooking around on this past entry that I have analysed back then. POV: The analisys was right but I didin't took the entry. So first of all we were looking for possibles sells entry's on the Distribution structure formed, at the the end of September to October. Continuing with the market direction we see that price broke structure to the low and created a new LL on the daily (1D). We missed the first entry's before BOS (Break of Structure), but as we know, we always going to have another or better entry, if we missed the first one. The market is full of opportunities. What we see? Price went and retested a Weekly POI (Point of Interest) and then broke structure to the downside. 1º Confirm that price is going to do a correction 2º Look for possibles zones of supply or OB 3º Hold the trade if price brake a LL again Looking for our supply zone. If we zoom in on the ENTRY 2, we can see 2 possibilities for entries; the first one is the NULL ZONE, it has a OB that was partly mitigated. And the second zone is an OB+ IMBALANCE on a blue box, that was refine on the 5m TMF (Time Frame) Why did we choose this POI? The zone of supply lead to the BOS (Break of Structure), the second confluence is that is a OB on the 1D TMF

Game Of LiquidityHello traders -Today we will talk about liquidity and its role. What is liquidity? -We will try to explain you as simple as possible what liquidity is and what you should be looking for when you want to spot it. -There is a theory on the FX markets that the Big institutions (Smart money) are always trying to trap us and take our Stop losses. -Retail education as we all know is based on patterns (double top,double bottom, trendlines, supp res zones etc... -As new traders come fresh on the markets they can be easily manipulated and taken away from their money because they are 'easy pray for big boys. -If you want to understand liquidity as simple as possible - when there is a trend line, double top pattern, there are retail stop losses and there is liquidity to be taken. Example: 1) In this example, we see that the price is moving in a downtrend 2) Then the price slows down with momentum and starts to make a lot of liquidity. 3) We can see liquidity in the form of a trendline, double tops, etc. 4) A lot of retail traders lose their money here, while we patiently wait for our opportunity. 5) Our entry is at the strong supply zone, and the price reaches it when it picks up all SL of retail traders. 6) At the end, we see a liquidity sweep that mostly happens in one move, and here we open our position. -Remember: This is the cat and mouse game. In order for one person to win someone else needs to take the loss. So our question is Are you a cat or a mouse? -If this post helped you better understand the concept of liquidity, leave a like. If you have any questions, write below in the comments.

EURUSD CASE STUDY 1:41 RRIn the first week of November we note that the price has previously made a new structure in the TMF of 1W and 1D, breaking the previous LH and creating a new HH. The first thing we note in before marking our zones of Interest we look for the following confluences: 1º BOS (Structure Breakout). 2º Small pullbacks and continuations. 3º Signs of weakness of the strong hands on sale. Taking into account our confluences, we can mark the zone of interest, the one where the price is more predictable to react with an upward movement, we can also call demand zones. Already in the first week of the new month we should align ourselves with the most important news, here comes in the NFP (Non Farm Payrolls), Interest Rates, Unemployment Rate and PMI Index, these are part of our analysis and play a big role in the macroeconomic system of each country. Moving closer to the demand zone, we mark an OB (Order Block + Imbalance) on the 15 min TMF (Time Frame). Here it is more predictable that the price will mitigate the pending orders and fill the imbalance created earlier. The price already approaching our zone, completely mitigates the OB + Imbalance and creates an accumulation zone before responding with the upward movement. For a more precise entry we decided to place our Pending Order between 100% of the OB and 0% imbalance, so as not to risk losing the trade. With the bullish reaction in our favor, we place our SL at Breakeven and our TP (Take Profit) above the HH. We can extend our TP even more, if we look at the weekly TMF. We get a 1:41 RR with a profit of +650 pips.

$dYdX -Hit Top of Daily Bearish Order Block- Now Retracing *SMTSMT = See related idea on the analysis of what Smart Money Theory is. $dYdX seems to be the only crypto worth trading at the moment. As it hit the top of the Daily bearish order block and started reversing. Wick may have went through each side on the 4 hour but two four hour candles closed inside below the median of the Daily bearish order block . This is bearish movement. So I have two take profits. The first is within the huge 4 hour Fair Value gap below. Entry 2.441 Take Profit 1 - 2.068 (Top of Breaker) Take Profit 2 - 1.946 (Bottom of Breaker) Stop loss - CLOSES ABOVE 2.538 on the1 hour I don't play the stop loss game unless I'm Not going to pay attention and what matters on a stop loss is the close not We'll See what happens. But thats my educated guess. Usually, Smart Money teaches me right. (See related Idea Bitcoin- last short

EURUSD Long Swing SetupAfter months of bearish order flow on the EURUSD daily timeframe, we finally have a shift in order flow. Since EURUSD is inversely related to it's benchmark asset that is $ index (DXY). DXY was in a monthly influx area. And we had a wyckoff on that monthly POI which got confirmed after closing below ar . Thus confirmed the transfer of buys to sells on DXY which in turn led the EURUSD to shift the order flow structure. For EURUSD to turn bullish, we need more fundamentals and confluence to confirm this. So now after the shift in the structure, I am long on EURUSD for swing setups. Expecting long trade near the highlighted POI on the EURUSD after taking out the elq . Happy trading!!!

XAUUSD (Gold) Bullish Set UpIn late September we seen price 6.4% which took out the immediate lower high @1690.00. After seeing that I knew we were transitioning into a bullish market. I took a long position at 1630.500 and secured 2.74%. I'm currently swinging this position because price took out the lower high at 1645.700 that allowed me to profit 2.74%. Currently price has been retracing down into the 1634-1619 area where I intend to see buyers regain control. We do have a lot of fundamental data coming this week so definitely be on the lookout. I have a buy limit set at 1629.950 hoping to see price retest previous highs of 1675 and push through towards the 1690 area!

$GBPUSD - Sterling Needs More Attractive Price for Buyers *SMT**SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading. First, SMT does not believe that triangles, wedges , trendlines , channels, harmonics, etc. has any effect on how price reacts. I'm sorry, but you won't convince me that Tesla or Bitcoin knows it has created a triangle and that it knows how to react to that? It does and will remember price levels, that's it. The second is to recognize that the price is not random, it is set by an algorithm controlled by those that control the asset. The Third thing to remember is price will do 2 things 1) move toward attacking where there is Liquidity (Equal Highs, Equal Lows, phantom Trendlines , etc.) and 2) Move toward Imbalance (Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Voids. Open Gaps) That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas.* As the price of the pound has fell to record lows this year, During the london session it dropped a filled a daily fair value gap. However it has not returned tp the starting gap price to completely fill in the imbalance. Sterling is usually a sure bet when thinking long term VS the USD, it's going to need to drop a little more for Investors to feel safe with their money in the Sterling again. With the current wave and the dollar moving up, The pound Should be heading down toward below a current liquidity level and the bulloish order Block. I may have already missed the best entrance, and it could just be going straight down in here, but I have my traders hunch it will pull up during the US session and fall last minute. This trade may take a while to play out not just two days like my EURUSD trade did. However to get there it will have to create an illusion that it will buy during the NY SESSION and instead will fall into next week possibly. Or it could create equal lows giving the illusion of support and the up into the red and drop OANDA:GBPUSD TVC:DXY BET:GBPUSD1! CME_MINI:M6B1!
