Trading Mindset

Hello Traders! After many weeks of daily active trading on my part, i've hit a bit of a quiet period in which i'm still getting good trades off, however they aren't the 2-3 per day i was getting on occasion. This is in part due to the recent spike in vol we have seen on the back of market jitters based on rising global yields. Market conditions just haven't suited my way of trading. So during this period i was reflecting on what the best thing(s) to do are when you hit these inevitable periods where you cant seem to [...]

Weekend comment plus AUDUSD Sentiment trade 24/02/21

Hello Traders,Weekend thoughts on this weeks action:Crazy week full of ups and downs.... !! The word on everyone's lips from seasoned market pros to the novice investor seems to be 'Yields' this week. The Bond Markets are playing a game of chicken with the FED at the moment, almost daring them to take action.... be that in the form of negative rates or yield curve control, seeing them start to put their foot on the long end by buying longer duration bonds. A risky proposition either way.... I personally think that they won't tolerate a big steeping of the curve [...]

To Sentiment or Not to Sentiment?

To Sentiment or Not to Sentiment? That's a dumb question. Imagine this ~ A speeding train is headed towards you as you leap back and forth in front of the track. You could grab on for the ride when it gets slightly past you. If you wait too long, you'll miss it..... But if you keep hopping back and forth trying to dodge it - you're going to get run over. That's what happened this week to those who chose Not to Sentiment. USDJPY USDJPY was that Train, and if you were hopping [...]

USDCHF Signaled at the Wrong Time? Nope!

A Member asked a legitimate question: "On 24 September 2019 at 17:20, USDCHF moved into the strong sell mode. Looking at the candle chart, you will be selling at the end of the move down. My question is how do you use the sentiment tool to avoid situations like this or how will you have dealt this scenario?" You could have easily made money if you were trading this on the 15M Time Frame, and would have avoided it all together on the 1H Time Frame. Here is how you'd do it. This is [...]

NZDUSD Market Structure 20 SEP 2019

This is an excellent example of a repeatable pattern in the FX market. I would say Textbook because it is perfect - but this happens so often that it is core to the way we think about Market Structure. Study this Market Structure thoroughly and understand what is going on here. If you understand this - you understand the core of Market Structure. First you have a mark up ("uptrend") - by the first Higher High (HH) then a Higher Low (HL). Price continues to drive upward until it reaches a zone where it can no longer continue [...]
