Mandatory Price PatternsHey Guys! When it comes to price patterns, there are many. I mean, look up "price patterns for trading" on google and you'll find countless variations. Just like in the movie "A Beautiful Mind", where Russel Crowe's character locates patterns in Russian Codes; a price action trader, can find endless variations of patterns on their charts. However, these variations actually deter the trader from their sole purpose of trading. Which is to make money. Period. With so many patterns multiplied by the different time frames that a trader utilizes in their trading, it is bound that there will always be multiple price patterns on the chart at any given time. What does that do? It confuses the heck out of the trader. That said, price patterns are a foundational element of price action trading, and is necessary to trade at higher levels. But it is not the amount of patterns that a price action trader must master. If the price action trader can master the Double Top/Bottom, and the Head and Shoulders patterns at the initial level. Out of my experience, these 2 patterns alone are more than enough to extract consistent profits from the markets. Simply put, it's about quality over quantity. That's it! Hope this provided some insight into price patterns! Have a great day! Ken

Characteristics of Price Action TradingHey Guys! I know price action trading can be somewhat a mysterious and confusing style of trading. So I just wanted to jot down the basic characteristics of price action trading to help clarify this ambiguous trading style. #1 Price action trading only uses price action to make trading decisions. No indicators, fundamental analysis, intermarket analysis, etc... Just price alone will do. #2 The Price action trader "Reads" naked price ( using candles, trendlines, price patterns, distinct ways that price itself fluctuates) to predict how much future long/short strength there is in a asset and makes trading decisions. #3 To the price action trader, misanalysis is never the fault of price, fundamentals, or any other analysis method. The fault is always on the price action trader's misinterpretation of price. #4 Price action trading techniques can be directly applied to any time frame, thus can be used for any style of trading. Long term/Swing/Day Trading. Moreover can be applied to any asset class.(though some techniques must be tweaked somewhat.) #5 The price action trader does not require a logical understanding of "why" price moves in a given direction. They have the mentality that if it works, there is no reason or need to explain it. #6 To the price action trader, current price is more valuable than past price in terms of analysis. So what happens closer to current price has more weight in the analysis process. Thus must watch current price and cannot just buy /sell and let a higher power take the wheel. That's it! Hope this clarifies price action trading a little! Have a great day guys! Ken

Price Action Lesson: The Basics of How to Read Price Part 2Hey Guys! As you guys know the current NZD/USD daily bias is short. Or in other words, price is likely to reach 0.6591 before reaching 0.6731. So on my last post, I mentioned I took a short entry at 0.6722 with a stop loss at 0.6591 with its main target at 0.6591 for the time being. In this Price action lesson, I just wanted to briefly explain how I read price in order to take the short entry yesterday. Moreover, why I was able to take the short position "comfortably" even though price pulled back to 3 pips to the stop loss level. That's it! Have a great day guys!

Price Action Trading ExplainedHey Guys! Here's a simple explanation of Price Action Trading! In its very essence, Price Action Trading is about letting price tell you where it's headed in the future. No indicators or fundamental analysis. Just price alone will do. But in order to know what price is telling you, you must first learn "how to read price". Think of this as a language. Just like how you're reading this post and understanding my intent through the English language. A price action trader must learn the "Language of Price" before interpreting what price is telling you in terms of where it's headed in the future. Once the language of price is mastered, a price action trader simply reads what price is telling him/her in terms of the future direction of price and makes trading decision accordingly. So, if price is telling you that it will go up in the future, you buy (or abort depending on the situation). Sell, if that's what price is telling you, and most importantly stay out of the market when price is telling you there is no bias in future long or short strength. Take this EUR/USD Short Trade that I'm currently holding positions in: If you follow my weekly forecasts you'll know that I took 2 short trades last year in which I still have 20% in at the current moment. Initially, when I entered these trades last year, the weekly chart's price was telling me, " Yo Ken! There's more short strength than long strength between these 2 major pivots....Just Letting you know!" (shown on the chart.) So in other words, "Price" was telling me that it will reach the Main Target Pivot Low before reaching the Main Stop Loss Pivot High. So, as price pulled back to the Main Stop Loss Level, I listened to "Mr. Price" and took 2 Short Entries with the risk parameters shown on the chart. Then after entry, the lower time frames were consistently telling me, " Hey Ken!There's abundant short strength in this pair! I'm headin' do---wn! "So I took out 80% of the Position at the Main Target. (Just for discipline's sake) and kept 20% in. (Hey!Why not right?) Then from November of 2021 to the current, on each bounce long, price was telling me yet again, " I'm still headed down Ken, Just letting you know.....", so I'm currently still holding 20% of the short position. In this way, by learning the "Language of Price", a price action trader reads what price is telling him/her and makes trading decision accordingly. There is no concept of price being wrong or right. Thus If price does not go in the expected direction. To a price action trader, it is not "the price" that is at fault; nor is it some other Technical or Fundamental element's fault. The blame is always on the misinterpretation of price by the price action trader. For in price action trading, "Price is always Right". Have a great day guys! Ken

An Introduction To Trading Inside Bar SignalsToday’s lesson is an introduction to the inside bar signal and how to trade it. It’s really one of my favorite patterns to trade, especially on the daily chart time frame. Why, you ask? It’s simple. The inside bar pattern shows a pause or indecision in the market, and depending on the surrounding price context it formed within, this provides us with an extremely valuable clue about what a market is about to do next. The inside bar is yet another “tool” in your price action toolbox that will add to your trading strategy which when mastered will help improve your chances of long-term trading success. Let’s get started with some introductory concepts and theory on inside bars… What is An Inside Bar? An inside bar pattern is a multi-bar pattern that consists of a “mother bar” which is the first bar in the pattern, followed by the inside bar. An inside bar pattern can sometimes have multiple inside bars within the same mother bar. Here is what standard inside bars look like: As you can see by the image below, inside bars can form exactly in the middle of the mother bar or close to either the high or low, there is not an EXACT way they have to look, just as long as they are contained within high to low distance of the mother bar 4 Variations of Standard Inside Bars 1. Double (multi) inside bar The “double inside bar” consists of two inside bars within the structure of the mother bar. They are pretty common and often times you will even see 3, 4 or sometimes (rarer) even more inside bars within the same mother bar structure. These patterns signify a prolonged period of indecision in the market and they can come before very powerful breakout moves… 2. Coiling Inside Bars Coiling inside bar patterns occur when 2 or more inside bars are “coiling” up tighter and tighter like a spring, within one another. Pay special attention when you see these because they mean the market is contracting and just like a spring wound up tighter and tighter, eventually it’s going to “release” and explode into a powerful move (in many cases). 3. Fakey Pattern (inside bar false-break ) The fakey trading pattern is very important in regards to inside bars because there is an inside bar pattern within a fakey. As you can see below, a fakey is actually a false break out from an inside bar pattern. It’s literally where price initially breaks one way from an inside bar pattern, but then quickly reverses, sucking everyone out who was wrong and then charging back the other direction. Obviously, these are giving us VERY intelligent clues as to the next potential direction in price. 4. Inside Bar Pin Bar Combo Pattern As we all know, pin bars are one of the best price patterns you can trade and when it’s when you get a pin bar that is also an inside bar, that you have an inside bar pin bar combo pattern. When you combine a pin bar into an inside bar, you are getting both a “wind-up” that is going to be released and a pin bar with a tail / shadow that indicates the next potential direction of the market. Hence, an inside bar is not just a pause in the market, it’s a pause with an extra piece of confluence behind it, and as a result, a more powerful price action signal. Trading Inside Bar Patterns There are essentially two main ways we can look to trade inside bars, as with most other patterns; as a continuation signal or as a reversal pattern. Now, I prefer to trade them as continuation signals in trending markets on the daily chart, because that’s the easiest way to trade them quite frankly. However, inside bars CAN indeed be very powerful at major support and resistance levels as reversals. Let’s look at some examples: 1. Trading Inside Bars as Continuation Move s The “classic” way to trade an inside bar pattern, and the way that I love trading them the most, is within a trending market, as a continuation move. An inside bar is much easier to take in a trending market because the odds are already in your favor for trading with the trend. The inside bar will many times lead to a breakout or continuation in-line with the existing trend direction. They can provide a good structure to try to pyramid your trade into a huge win. Tip : Avoid trading inside bars at major levels until the level has cleared, because many times such inside bars will create a false break at the major level. 2. Trading Inside Bars as “Stall Patterns” / Reversals Sometimes, you can trade an inside bar as a reversal / stall pattern where price “stalls” out at a level and that leads to a reversal back the other direction. In the chart below, we can see an example of a good inside bar reversal signal. Notice that the inside bar formed at a key chart level, indicating the market was hesitating and “unsure” if it wanted to move any higher. We can see a strong downside move occurred as price broke down past the inside bar’s mother bar low.. Please note that trading inside bars as reversal patterns should ONLY be tried after you have successfully mastered trading them in-line with the daily chart trend as continuation / breakout plays, as we discussed above. Special Inside Bar Trading Tip s Here are some of my tips and tricks when trading inside bars. These are things that I learned over the years that will improve your chances of success when trading this pattern: 1. Tighter inside bar patterns and coiling inside bar patterns often lead to explosive large break out moves. This is because of the “stored energy” that took place as the market “coiled”, that energy typically gets released in the form of a strong breakout move… 2. Patterns containing smaller inside bar patterns allow tighter stop losses and great risk reward, these are the ideal candidates. 3. Be wary of patterns with both very large mother bars and large inside bars, these can often be difficult to trade due to lots of false signals and they make it more difficult to manage risk. 4. My favorite 2 patterns are – Fakey signals and – Inside bar pin bar combos. 5. We must learn to filter inside bars because the one bad thing about them is that a lot of them form across all time frames. However, with proper training and experience on the charts, you will learn to differentiate. CONCLUSION This was a basic introduction to the inside bar signal and how I trade it, I cover this pattern and much more in my advanced price action trading courses. Upon joining, some of what you will learn is: 1. More inside bar variations and how to trade them. 2. More example charts. 3. Members trading discussion forum, including inside bar discussion 4.

What is the next catch on BNBUSDT?Confluence reasons Bearish divergence : The move of the bearish divergence is having a support on $370-$375 USDT .... which its strength is reducing Fibonacci Retracement : In the 0% to 100% fibonacci retracement, 50% has been done, which then follows by this little current retracement, which is having $370-$375 USDT as support as well... So, it's wise to enter the trade when there is an end-of-day close price above 50% fib level followed by a confirmation candle to validate the movement leg. Entry Price : $445 - $455 Take Profit price : $600 - $620 Stoploss price : $365 (near-support level) RR : 1:2 Support me with your likes and follow... Happy trading CryptoKings!
