SPY500/Emini/ES : Daily schematic of liquidity & trapped tradersThere are a whole bunch of trapped traders on both sides of price for SPY500 / Emini futures / ES1! which will want to exit, giving us a trade in opposite direction (yellow zones) Beware of the engineered liquidity zones - which are almost like a candy land for big institutions - where orders are just sitting to be taken! Those zones WILL BE poked poked! (green zones) Good luck & good trading for the election week! Please note : the zones shown here are for reference purpose only. Actual buy & sell zones should be fine tuned with a lower timeframe reference & more detailed analysis.

USDSGD (4H) Backtest : 62% Win rate (12 R), 85% non-losers!Detailed backtest results - prnt.sc - Win/Loss ratio : 400% - Non losers : 85% - Net R : 12 R across 13 trades - Avg R / winner = 1.5 - Avg R / trade = 0.92 Icons on the chart - Thumbs up : Trade was a win - Thumbs down : Trade was a loss - Circle with a cross : Trade was breakeven - Cross : Did not take the trade due to one or more trade qualifiers - Bug : I could not understand how to trade, so avoided trading Trade qualifiers - $ icon : DXY was either supporting the trade direction (and we took the trade as win/loss/BE), or DXY was not supporting the trade direction (and trade was not taken) - Dollar bill icon : Liquidity was present behind the stop loss How to read icons on chart? - Thumbs up + $ icon => Winner trade, direction was supported by DXY - Thumbs down + $ icon => Loser trade, direction was supported by DXY - Cross + $ icon => Trade skipped because DXY didn't support trade direction (though a liquidity hunt wasn't an issue) - Cross + $ icon + Dollar bill => Trade skipped because DXY didn't support trade direction & a potential liquidity hunt was due near the stop loss - Cross + Dollar bill => Trade skipped because a potential liquidity hunt was due near the stop loss (though DXY did support trade direction) Indicators at bottom of chart 1) Count of HH/LL for the pair - shows when market structure is broken => Also generates a signal on the main chart (highlighted vertical lines) 2) Count of HH/LL for DXY - shows how the pair is moving in correlation to DXY 3) Correlation of the pair with DXY - just to give an idea about how the correlation is moving Strategy Pickup a pair which is highly correlated to DXY AND Wait for market structure to break, then trade the retest of that zone. Zone is drawn using the first candle which crossed the pivot high/low to begin trapping the traders AND Liquidity in form of equal highs/lows should not be present behind the stop loss AND Since the pair is highly correlated to DXY , the formation of HH/LL in DXY should support the trade's direction at the time of zone's formation Risk management 1) Reduce 50% at 1R => Trade becomes risk free 2) Reduce further 25% at 2R AND move SL to break-even 3) Close trade at 3R 4) Winner = 1.75R Variables Avg winner = 1.75R PS1 : Please excuse the busy chart! PS2 : This backtest was performed right to left, so could include visibility bias. However, I tried to follow the strategy rules in all trades.

ASX:Z1P about to Plunge to the abyss🚨👿🚨The charts dont lie. ASX:Z1P is drawing one hell of chart pattern if it is confirmed, ASX:Z1P bulls may have hard time. This pattern is none other than H&S . From ZIP has been hovering above 6$ for a while but apparently things start taking another dimension. It is not only hanging on a thread but also looks like it is waving bye bye to the extension we saw above 6$ and to the bull trend if the 5.8$ barrier is broken. The chart shows it all and the H&S neckline is broken we may see price falling to the level seen earlier in May 2020. I am not excluding seeing the 3.7$ level where we have a strong base and support for this stock to prepare for further attacks towards the 10$ range. Also, remember of the gap between 3.7$ and 4.7$, although gaps dont necessarily have to fill, they most of the time fill, maybe this stock want to fill the gap. For now I am waiting for next few days to see if 5.54$ will be reached and to see if it will hold. If it does, I may open a small position that can be scaled if 6.3$ is taken. I will keep you posted for any small change on this stock. For now it will stay on my RADARs. Stay safe.
