post market analysis/Trade recap 6/28/24Market Recap: Great technical analysis this week with my predictions in the market. Yesterday my levels of: 5583.00 (bullish) & 5518.50 (bearish) were almost spot on. Price went bullish to the level of: 5584.25 Price retreated back to the levels of: 5518.25 Trades Recap: Not so solid on the trade entries as I got faked out, not seeing the gap being filled rather than an anty setup. That is okay, however soon after I also missed a real Anty setup. It could have been a much better trading day but all in all I am not upset and feeling good for next week. Sunday I will be posting an analysis for the following week and potential levels to be looking out for. These are levels that I believe have merit and strength.

EURUSD Trade Recap 11th August 2023Breakeven taken on EURUSD last Friday, very happy with the management. Full explanation in the recap. 🧠Emotional Log --- **Pre-Trade** I understand all the confluences within my thesis, I accept this risk as I know if it is a loss I clearly understand exactly why I took to the trade. My stop is protected and if price takes me out there is a chance it is forming something else anyway. Do not be greedy, but also do not hesitate. These are the trades I must allow myself to take. **During Trade** My stop is protected, allow price to do its thing. My entry is valid, and I understand structure over candlesticks. I utilised the timeframes as best I could, working from the 1H structure filtering down to the 15M without jumping in. Do not choke the trade, mini 90% rule is in play so let price do its thing. **Post-Trade** I understand that price created a mini scoop for a much sharper entry, however, how can we guarantee this will always happen. My entry was valid, and stop was protected, I understood the 90% rule kicking in and managed risk accordingly to price action on the 1H. Nothing more I could have done in this situation and capital was protected.

USDJPY Trade Recap 19th July 2023How am I feeling pre-trade? I am feeling confident in my mind, I forecasted the risk entry and not allowed little things to put me off the trade. Normally I would be saying things like ‘its gone past the hook’, ‘there needs to be a nice retrace or pin bar’ but ultimately it has all of the ingredients to sell. Ascending channel, meets AT hook with a 1H retrace candle. I am happy I did not allow these past issues to overcome my decision, this is also helping with my entry criteria and structure over candlesticks.

BOIL Day Trade Recap and ReviewBOIL the 3x Leveraged ETF of natural gas futures has been highly volatile. Volatility yields high profits if there are good entries and trade management. This past Friday BOIL was doing a reverse split ( 20 shares become one) which I considered to be an opportunity for high profit because a higher number of traders would have eyes on the chart. The 15-minute chart is shown here with an anchored VWAP from 2 days earlier. At market open price reversed a downtrend after the reverse split in the premarket. It got support from the line one standard deviation below the mean VWAP. My first considered entry was the second green HA candle in the reversal with a stop loss at the pivot low of the red candles. However I passed on this entry and instead entered upon price crossing the mean VWAP. The entry was supported by the indicators showing Z score and volatility. The entry was made more precise by analysis on the 5-minute chart. The stop loss was set at the value of the close of the last candle to close below VWAP. After that, trade management was routine. Every time price went up 1% I raised the stop loss by the same amount until getting up 6% Once at that level, I changed to a trailing stop loss of 2% so I could pay attention to other trading chores. At the same time, I set an alert for when the price crossed to above two standard deviations above the mean anchored VWAP. I did this because this is the overvalued overbought area where institutional traders will set sell orders either short selling or closing profitable trades. The resultant reversal would diminish my unrealized profits. In this case, I got the alert and closed the position without the trailing loss. The trade resulted in a profit of 12% without use of leverage or margin other than the leverage imbedded in BOIL inself.

EUR/JPY, USD/JPY and USD/CAD on watch for me today.EUR/JPY: • If price pushes up to and ideally just above our rayline, then regardless of how it does so I'll be waiting for a convincing impulse back down followed by a tight flag and then I'll be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag. • If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises. • If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade. USD/JPY: • If price continues to correct between now and I'm awake to place the order then I'll be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of this tight one hour flag. • If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises. • If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade. USD/CAD: • If price breaks the upper descending trend line of our most recent piece of structure, it does so impulsively and in a convincing manner and a subsequent tight flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag. • If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises. • If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade.

EUR/JPY: 16/05. Good input for the sellerEUR/JPY is heading towards the neck and shoulder line after the cross broke out of the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 147.68. However, it still hesitates to achieve a decisive breakout that could invalidate the pattern. As the Asian session begins, EUR/JPY is trading around 147.95, down 0.06%. EUR/JPY remains skewed to neutral, although in the near term, will be tilted slightly to the downside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator shows a pause in the uptrend as the RSI is flat in the bullish zone, while the 3-day Rate of Change (RoC) is neutral. Although EUR/JPY spot price tests the head and shoulders neckline, the pattern remains intact. The confluence of the neckline and last year's high of 148.45 could make it difficult for buyers while being a good zone for EUR/JPY sellers. OANDA:EURJPY SELL EURJPY zone 148.00 - 148.10 SL: 148.35 TP: 147.00

Trade Recap - XAGUSD Review the trade I've taken on XAGUSD My trading style is a combination from all of these methods: Top down analysis Chart pattern analysis Supply & demand Let's start with the analysis which I did on 30 Dec 2021. Monthly Bullish flag pattern is formed. With this pattern, there's potential price to break the flag and impulsive to the upside. Currently on Monthly low in a corrective phase. Monthly low indicate that probability price could go more to upside than downside. Historical price also show that on this region, price tend to go impulse to upside. I would target the price to reach the beginning of correction (beginning of flag). Weekly Price hasn't break previous bearish structure. The probability for price to go up only for short term and then to the downside again is there. I should aware of the scenario where Bullish W pattern could play-out. Current price is on Weekly low. Never buy on weekly low because historically the price tend to go upside. There is double bottom pattern that indicate currently on resistance. Bullish candle already appear, indicate that the bull is there. So lower potential to catch the falling knife. The conclusion is there's more probability going to upside than to the downside. Daily Bullish M pattern with consecutive bearish candle on the 4th leg. This pattern indicate the bullish momentum. Clear trend-line (white). Historically price respect the trend-line, so there's probability that it still will respect the trend-line. Bullish candle appear showing that the bull is there. So lower potential to catch the falling knife. I draw fibonacci from 3rd leg of Bullish M pattern and will find Supply & Demand zone below 61.8. Also use -27 as Daily target profit. Clear Supply & Demand zone (white). S&D is a zone that could act as both resistance & support. On this zone I will wait for the entry confirmation on 4H timeframe. 4H Bullish M pattern with false break on fib completion -68. This pattern inside the bigger timeframe pattern indicate that it align with the bigger timeframe trend, which is uptrend. Inverse H&S could play-out. This is my confirmation for entry position. I will wait on Supply & Demand zone (grey) I wait for deceleration and bullish indication before place my entry to minimize the risk. Place my Stop Loss on the lowest wick that on my S&D zone. Will increase my position along the way if the price go according my analysis. Current price 1 Jan 2022

No Forecast (WTICO/USD Trade Update).The market as it has for the whole of October is looking great frame a higher time frame perspective but very poor from a lower time frame one, at least in terms of opportunities which meet my plan. So this is just a quick trade update for you where the short trade that I placed yesterday on WTICO/USD is concerned. Patience always pays folks and I'm in this game for the long haul, not with the intention of "getting risk quickly" like a large percentage of my fellow market participants are but with the intention of continuing to generate wealth for myself and my family steadily and when you let the market come to you as opposed to you chasing the market you'll feel empowered as I always do and this is going to increase your confidence in your trading ability as it has mine and it's this confidence and this mindset which is going to set you up for success as a trader. Have a great weekend!

AUD/CHF and EUR/USD on watch for me today.AUD/CHF: • If price pushes up to and ideally just above our upper rayline and the last part of the move is corrective, then I'll be looking to get short with a risk entry either after a phase line break, or just below a one hour or a fifteen minute rejection from it. • If my entry requirements are not met then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises. • If there's any ambiguity then I will not place a trade on this pair. EUR/USD: • If price corrects and a tight flag forms, or price impulses up still further and a subsequent tight flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with either a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag or a risk entry within it. • If my entry requirements are not met then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises. • If there's any ambiguity then I will not place a trade on this pair.
