The Simple Plunge StrategyHello dear @TradingView community! Welcome to @Vestinda, your trusted trading companion in the ever-changing world of financial markets. Our team is passionate about giving traders like you the tools and knowledge to make smart decisions and achieve your investing and trading goals. At Vestinda, we know that successful trading involves using effective strategies, analyzing the market, and managing risk. That's why we sharing a strategy that can help you make the most of downward trends — The Simple Plunge Strategy. This strategy is designed to help you navigate downward movements in the market with confidence. It focuses on spotting specific patterns that occur during sharp drops in cryptocurrency prices. By understanding and applying this strategy carefully, you have the potential to increase your profits. The Simple Plunge Strategy involves looking for certain signs: a strong and sudden downward movement in price, shown by a big candlestick with high trading volume. After the drop, the price often recovers to levels seen when the candlestick opened. By closely watching how the price moves across certain boundaries, you can find good points to enter trades and set your profit targets and stop-loss levels. To use the Simple Plunge Strategy effectively, it's important to find the right entry points and manage your risk. You can find entry points by watching the price as it rises above the starting point of the candlestick with a big volume. To determine your profit target, you can use half of the candlestick range. And to manage risk, you can set a stop-loss order above the previous high point. This strategy can be used with different timeframes, but looking at 15-30 minute intervals can give you opportunities for quick trades. When applying the strategy to cryptocurrencies, look for coins or tokens that have experienced significant drops with high trading volume. Watch how the price moves above and across the starting point of the drop to find potential entry points. You can also find examples of Simple Plunge patterns on CEX platforms, which list various cryptocurrencies. Take a look at coins such as ETH, DOGE, and others to see instances where the price sharply drops and then rises again, indicating possible entry points. Remember, the Simple Plunge Strategy can also be used in reverse to identify opportunities during upward movements. A similar pattern often occurs when prices rise. We'd love to hear your feedback on the Simple Plunge Strategy. Have you tried this approach in your trading? Share your thoughts, questions, and experiences in the comments below. Let's have a lively discussion and support each other in the world of trading.

Ichimoku Target Price Theory V, N, E and NT CalculationsTHE BASICS: Here is a close up of the Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō indicator: Many people do not know that the Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō cloud system has its own Number, Wave, Target Price and Timespan Theories. After years of study, the numbers that Goichi Hosoda choose for his system are 9, 17, 26 as the basic numbers with 33, 42, 65, 76, 129 and 200~257. These numbers are used in the timespan as well as on the indicator itself. 9 is used for the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) 26 is used for the Base Line (Kijun Sen) 26 is also used for the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) and is used to shift the current price back 26 periods. The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is an exceptional part of the system and allows you to see possible support and resistance levels without drawing any lines. The Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) is calculated using the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) and Base Line (Kijun Sen) values and is then plotted 26 periods into the future and shows potential future support and resistance levels. The Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) is calculated using double of 26 so 52 periods and is then and is then plotted 26 periods into the future. This also shows potential future support and resistance levels. Note that: The Area ABOVE the cloud is called the BULLISH ZONE. The Area BELOW the cloud is called the BEARISH ZONE. The Area IN BETWEEN the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) and Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) levels is called the EQUILIBRIUM ZONE. Note that the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) and Base Line (Kijun Sen) ARE NOT MOVING AVERAGES but are instead calculated high and low midpoints of the price. So the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) is high and low calculated midpoint for the last 9 Periods (short-term) and the Base Line (Kijun Sen) is high and low calculated midpoint for the last 26 Periods (mid-term). THE ADVANCED: Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō Target Price Theory with examples: How accurate is Goichi Hosoda’s Target Price Theory? Using the history of the DJI/USD chart….. it turns out the calculation are very accurate. Note that i have added in timespans from Hosoda’s numbers to see if there is a day of change on the Ichimoku numbers 9, 17, 26, 33, 42, 65, 76, 129 and 200~257. Note that you can be flexible with these numbers so if a day of change is 8 days instead of 9 or 77 days instead of 76 then that is fine with this system. Ichimoku System has 4 Price Target Calculations called V, N, E and NT. A few of these we will see below. As you’ll see below, the calculations do change if they are POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. If we look at the Positive N Calculation from the Monday 3rd August 1896 until Monday 6th sept 1897 we can see that it was spot on. N Calculation positive N = C + (B-A) = D (B) $32.55 - (A) $20.77 = $11.79 (C) $27.79 + (B-A) $11.78 = (D) $39.57 The actual price it went to was $40.41 If we look at the above Negative V Calculation from the Monday 29th Sept 1929 until Monday 5th sept 1931 we can see that again, the calculation was spot on. V Calculation Negative V = B - (C-B) = D (C) $302 - (B) $194 = $108 (B) $194 - (C-B) $108 = (D) $86 The actual price it went to was $85.76 and continued to $40.72 If we look at this Negative N Calculation from the Monday 9th November 1931 until Monday 30th May 1932 we can see that again, it was almost spot on. N Calculation Negative N = C - (A-B) = D (A) $118.86 - (B) $69.85 = $48.75 (C) $89.87 - (C-B) $48.75 = (D) $41.12 Actual = $43.52 and continued to $40.72 If we look at the Positive V Calculation from Monday 4th July 1932 until Monday 17th July 1933 we can see that again, it was almost spot on. V Calculation Positive V = B + (B-C) = D (B) $81.63 - (C) $48.81 = $32.82 (B) $81.63 + (C-B) $32.82 = (D) $114.45 Actual = $110.90 If we look at the Negative V Calculation from Monday 4th Nov 1940 until Monday 13th April 1942 we can see that again, it was almost spot on. V Calculation Negative V = B - (C-B) = D (C) $131 - (B) $114 = $17 (B) $114 - (C-B) $17 = (D) $97 Actual = $92.60 If we look at the Positive NT Calculation from Monday 23rd March 2020 until Monday 10th May 2021 we can see that again, it was spot on. NT Calculation Positive NT = C + (C-A) (C) $26,114 - (A) $18,217 = $7,897 (C) $26,114 + (C-A) $7,897 = $34,011 Actually price went up to $36,971 which was until Monday 3rd Jan 2022. If we look at the Negative V Calculation from Monday 12th Dec 2022 until Monday 13th March 2023 we can see that again, it was close but off from about $600 but still would’ve made a profit. V Calculation Negative V = B - (C-B) = D (C) $34,344 - (B) $32,582 = $1,762 (B) $32,582 - (C-B) $1,762 = (D) $30,820 Actual price went to = $31,428 I have done these examples on the 1 week chart but this system also work for lower timeframes. I could go through and add much more calculations but i think you get the point with just these few. I hope this post has been helpful and insightful. For those interested, below are 2 links to my previous post about Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō that you may find helpful. Ichimoku Wave Theory: Ichimoku Crypto:

"Discipline and Patience: The Key to Profitable Forex Trading"Forex trading can be a profitable and exciting way to invest money, but it also requires discipline and patience to succeed. The key to becoming a successful forex trader is to only take the best setups and to stay disciplined in your trading approach. The first step to staying disciplined in your forex trading is to have a solid trading plan. A trading plan should include your trading strategy, risk management rules, and goals. It should also include a set of criteria for identifying the best trading setups. Once you have a trading plan in place, it's important to stick to it. This means only taking trades that meet your criteria and avoiding trades that don't. It can be tempting to take trades that don't meet your criteria, but this can lead to losses and can derail your overall trading strategy. Staying disciplined also means being patient. Forex trading can be a fast-paced environment, but successful traders know that it's important to wait for the right opportunities. This means waiting for the right setup to present itself before entering a trade. It can be frustrating to wait for a good opportunity, but taking trades that don't meet your criteria can be even more frustrating in the long run. Another important aspect of staying disciplined in forex trading is managing your emotions. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of trading and to make impulsive decisions. Successful traders know how to keep their emotions in check and to make decisions based on their trading plan rather than their emotions. In conclusion, forex trading requires discipline and patience to be successful. By only taking the best setups and staying disciplined in your trading approach, you can increase your chances of becoming profitable. Remember to have a solid trading plan, stick to it, be patient, and manage your emotions. With these skills in place, you'll be on your way to becoming a successful forex trader.

"Forex vs. Indices: Which Market is the Right Fit for You?Forex and indices are two popular investment options for traders. While both markets have their own unique features and advantages, it can be difficult to determine which one is better. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at forex and indices to help you make an informed decision. Forex, or foreign exchange, is the market where currencies are traded. It's the largest financial market in the world, with an average daily trading volume of over $5 trillion. Forex trading offers high liquidity, low transaction costs, and the ability to trade 24 hours a day, five days a week. This makes it an attractive option for traders looking for flexibility and diversity in their portfolios. On the other hand, indices are a measure of the performance of a group of stocks in a particular market. Indices are often used as a benchmark for the overall health of an economy or sector. Trading indices allows investors to diversify their portfolios across multiple companies and industries, reducing the risk of investing in individual stocks. One of the key differences between forex and indices is the level of volatility. Forex markets can be highly volatile, with exchange rates fluctuating rapidly in response to global events and economic data releases. This can make forex trading exciting and potentially lucrative, but it also increases the risk of losing money. Indices tend to be less volatile than forex, which can make them a more stable investment option. Another factor to consider is the level of knowledge required to trade in each market. Forex trading can be complex, with a steep learning curve. Traders need to understand technical analysis, economic indicators, and geopolitical events to make informed decisions. Trading indices, on the other hand, is often simpler, as investors can focus on the overall performance of the market rather than individual companies. In conclusion, there is no straightforward answer to the question of whether forex or indices is better. Both markets have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the best choice depends on your individual investment goals and risk tolerance. It's important to conduct thorough research and seek professional advice before making any investment decisions

Double Top/Bottom Pattern #️⃣OKXIDEAS!!!👨‍🏫Hello, everyone!👋 (Reading time less than 7 minutes⏰) . There are many opportunities in the market that traders can get at every single moment. Some like to step up little by little, and some like to climb the mountain as soon as possible. The financial market, such as crypto and forex, is the same. That’s why some patterns represent the consequence of being an overnight millionaire. In this article, I will discuss two resembling patterns and talk about how to trade with them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Double Top Pattern: Double Top Pattern is the name of a classic pattern that can bring lots of money for the ones who use it to trade in different financial markets, such as cryptocurrency and forex. It’s noted that this pattern is used in two-sided markets, and stock traders cannot use Double Top Pattern to enter but to exit. Double Top Pattern is one of the most common technical patterns that can be used to identify an asset's roof on the chart. Stay with me to learn how this pattern is drawn on the chart and how you can get dollars out of it in very simple words. As the name suggests, Double Top represents the highest point of an asset in the area, which is known as a sensitive resistance zone. Reversal patterns are one of the most important chart patterns. So is Double Top, which occurs at the end of an upward trend. That means Double Top is a bearish reversal pattern. As the name shows, this pattern forms from two consecutive rounding tops according to the standard. Here you can see what the Double Top Pattern looks like: In an uptrend, the price breaks through resistance levels one by one, as it rises. When the price reaches a vital resistance level stronger than the last support level, that resistance pushes the price down, and it breaks through the support level. Buyers know that the uptrend has ended, and the price will enter a bearish channel. The shape of this pattern is like the letter ‘M,’ which has caused many traders to name it the ‘ M pattern ,’ but I call it ‘ Double Top ’ or ‘ Twin Top .’ Here are some tips you have to know to reduce the mistakes you’ll probably face on the path: Double Top can be used in any time frame. In Double Top Pattern, the peaks are not exactly the same size or at the same price. You are about to ignore any slight differences between them. The distance from the neckline to the top should be 20 to 25%(often) of the size of the upward trend; otherwise, it’s not considered a reversal pattern. As you see in the picture, the price goes up for a while when the buyers struggle to push it up, but it cannot pass the neckline, so it’s rejected. This neckline touch is called “the last kiss,” which is one of the best short-entry positions. I recommend that a trader considers pullbacks as confirmations. But on the other hand, you’ll lose some profits because not all the time pullbacks are completed. So, stay with me to tell you how to trade using the Double Top Patten. How to trade on Double Top Pattern There are some general methods that you can trade on Double Top Pattern; here you go: 1. Breaking neckline The first strategy to trade using the Double Top Pattern is to take a short position when the neckline is correctly broken. 2. The price retracement to the neckline (pullback/last kiss) The second useful strategy is to wait for the price to pull back to the neckline and then open a short position. It’s noted that the neckline is now considered a resistance line. 3. Combination of the first and second methods To enter the short position transaction using the double top pattern, you can use a combination of the first and second methods. You can divide the amount of volume that you want to enter into a short position into equal amounts or amounts that are consistent with your capital management. Your first entry point can be when the price breaks the neckline in a valid way (better a bearish marubozu candle) / the second entry point can be when the price pulls back to the neckline / there is even a third point, a little below the level the valley where pullback began to form. You can use a combination of the entry points I mentioned to enter a short position. Does The Double Top Pattern Fail? To tell the truth, all patterns have the possibility to fail, and Double Top is no exception. Indeed, it’s no big deal, dude. A trader always finds a way to make enough profits. As I mentioned, the Double Top Pattern is a reversal. When the price goes above the top, the pattern fails and is unsuitable for trading. In this case, a buy signal can be considered. When the price passes the Double Top and goes up, a neckline is formed at the top, the line that connects the two tops on the above chart. The entry point is when the price returns to this upper neckline. The stop-loss will be below the last bottom, and the take-profit point will be as long as the distance from the upper neckline to the last bottom. Here is a secret I’ll tell you. Usually, after the failure of these reversal patterns, the upward trend continues with more strength, and you can make profits faster. As I said earlier, during an uptrend, the price reaches its resistance zone, but it’s unable to pass it. Here the uptrend stops and finally it starts to go down in the opposite direction. Now the buyers are pushing the price up to retest the resistance level, which is a hard shield to cross, and sellers are the winners in pushing the price to go down for the second time. This movement makes a pattern called “Double Top.” But the point is that the Double Top pattern can appear in four different types. Bearish reversal Adam and Eve Patterns; in descending order of power and efficiency: 1st.Eve & Eve Double Top (EEDT) 2nd.Adam & Adam Double Top (AADT) 3rd.Adam & Eve Double Top (AEDT) 4th.Eve & Adam Double Top (EADT) Eve & Eve Double Top (EEDT) Let’s see what the Eve-Eve pattern looks like. As you can guess, Eve-Eve consists of two round peaks. That is, both tops are similar to the upside-down letter U. Adam & Adam Double Top (AADT) In this type of pattern, you can see mountain-like price tops. That means the tops are similar to the upside-down of the letter V. In this type, one or two candles hit the resistance level. Adam & Eve Double Top (AEDT) In the case of Adam-Eve, the tip of the first top is sharp, and the second top is round and wide, which has a shape like an upside-down U. Eve & Adam Double Top (EADT) In this status, the first top is round, and the second top is pointed. Eve-Adam Double Top Pattern is exactly the opposite of the Adam-Eve one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Double Bottom Pattern: Reversal patterns are in the tops and bottoms. The Double Bottom Pattern is a bullish reversal pattern that forms at the end of a downtrend, and it looks like the letter “ W ” in English. So it’s a good place to get a long position. Unlike the Double Top pattern, buyers take control of the market so that when the price hits the support zone, it is pushed up again. This pattern is one the best patterns for stock market traders with daily and long-term trades. Double Bottom can be used in any time frame. In two-sided markets, after engulfing the neckline, the potency of buyers increases, and more buyers enter the market. Trading volume increases after breaking the neckline, so the price gradient steepens. Here you can see an image of the Double Bottom Pattern: How to trade on Double Bottom Pattern After the price breaks the neckline, entering a long position can be profitable. But the confirmation is really important to be seen. The bullish Marubozu candle is one useful candle for pattern confirmation. Dojis and short candles are not that strong to convince confirmation. So you are about to face a fake break which leads the price to fall more. Follow the steps below to make profits: Entry points are like a double-top pattern. Stop-loss is below the bottom. Take-profit point is the distance from the neckline to the bottom. Failed Double Bottom Pattern Never forget that the patterns can be failed in the market due to the news and fundamental source. A professional trader is always looking for a valid confirmation. When the price falls below two bottoms, the pattern fails. But you can earn money with the failed pattern too. When the price passes the bottoms and goes down, a neckline forms under the pattern. This line connects the two bottoms. Here I go with the failed Double Bottom Pattern: The entry point is when the price returns to the neckline. The stop-loss will be above the last top. The take-profit point will be the distance from the bottom neckline to the last top. Here is a picture of what a Failed Double Bottom Pattern looks like. Classical patterns are in different shapes that directly affect their performance. Various types of Double Bottom Patterns are made with the Adam and Eve patterns. These types of Double Bottom patterns are as follows:(in descending order of power and efficiency) 1st. Eve & Eve Double Bottom (EEDB) 2nd. Adam & Eve Double Bottom (AEDB) 3rd. Eve & Adam Double Bottom (EADB) 4th. Adam & Adam Double Bottom (AADB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🔔 Conclusion Reversal patterns such as Double Top/Bottom can be really profitable, but the essential thing is to follow your strategy and capital management. I also suggest that you follow these educational series posts to get all you need about trading.

"Unlocking the Secrets of Technical Analysis: A Beginner's GuideTechnical analysis is a method of analyzing financial markets that involves studying historical price and volume data to identify patterns and trends. This approach is based on the idea that price movements are not completely random, and that patterns in the past can provide insight into future price movements. Technical analysts use charts and other tools to visualize price movements and identify patterns, such as trends, support and resistance levels, and chart patterns. They also use a variety of technical indicators, such as moving averages and relative strength index (RSI), to help them make trading decisions. One of the key principles of technical analysis is that price movements tend to follow trends. Traders use trend lines and moving averages to help identify the direction of a trend and potential areas of support and resistance. Another principle of technical analysis is that history tends to repeat itself. Technical analysts believe that certain chart patterns, such as head and shoulders or double tops, can indicate potential trend reversals or continuation. It's important to note that technical analysis is not a crystal ball that can predict future price movements with 100% accuracy. Rather, it is a tool that can help traders make informed decisions based on historical price data. As with any form of analysis, it's important to use multiple sources of information and exercise sound judgment when making trading decisions. In summary, technical analysis is a method of analyzing financial markets that involves studying historical price and volume data to identify patterns and trends. Technical analysts use charts, tools, and indicators to help them make trading decisions based on the belief that price movements are not completely random and that history tends to repeat itself.

Regulated vs Unregulated Brokers: Understanding the Differences When it comes to choosing a broker for trading, one of the most important factors to consider is whether the broker is regulated or unregulated. While both types of brokers can offer trading services, there are some significant differences between them that traders should be aware of. Regulated brokers are licensed and monitored by regulatory authorities, such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US. These authorities set strict rules and standards that brokers must follow to protect investors and maintain market integrity. For example, regulated brokers are required to segregate client funds from their own operating funds, provide regular reports on their financial health, and maintain a certain level of capitalization. Unregulated brokers, on the other hand, are not licensed or monitored by any regulatory authority. This means that they are not subject to the same rules and standards as regulated brokers, and may not provide the same level of protection for investors. Unregulated brokers may also be more susceptible to fraud and scams, as there is no external oversight to ensure that they are operating in a fair and transparent manner. There are some potential advantages to using an unregulated broker, such as lower fees or more flexible trading conditions. However, these benefits may come at a higher risk to the investor, as unregulated brokers may not provide the same level of security and protection as regulated brokers. In summary, choosing between a regulated and unregulated broker is an important decision for any trader. While unregulated brokers may offer some advantages, such as lower fees, they also come with a higher risk of fraud and scams. Regulated brokers, on the other hand, are subject to strict rules and standards that help to protect investors and maintain market integrity. As such, it is important to carefully consider the reputation and regulatory status of any broker before entrusting them with your investments.

Mastering the Mindset: How to Handle Losses in Trading accordingTrading in the Zone by Mark Douglas is a classic book on the psychology of trading. In it, Douglas explores the importance of mindset and discipline when it comes to handling losses in trading. Here are some ideas from the book that can help traders deal with losses: Accepting losses as part of the game: Douglas emphasizes the importance of accepting losses as a natural part of the trading process. Rather than trying to avoid losses altogether, he suggests that traders should learn to accept them as part of the game. By doing so, traders can avoid getting emotionally attached to their trades and make more rational decisions. Understanding the probabilities: According to Douglas, traders should understand that trading is a game of probabilities. Even the best traders will experience losses from time to time, and this is just part of the probabilities of the market. By focusing on making good trades based on a solid strategy, traders can minimize their losses and maximize their gains over the long run. Managing risk: Douglas stresses the importance of managing risk in trading. He suggests that traders should always have a plan for managing their risk, such as using stop-loss orders or limiting the size of their positions. By doing so, traders can minimize the impact of losses on their portfolio and avoid making emotional decisions. Staying disciplined: Douglas argues that discipline is crucial for successful trading. This means sticking to a trading plan, avoiding impulsive decisions, and staying focused on the long-term goals. By maintaining discipline, traders can avoid making emotional decisions based on fear or greed, which can lead to losses. In summary, Trading in the Zone provides valuable insights on how to handle losses in trading. By accepting losses as part of the game, understanding the probabilities, managing risk, and staying disciplined, traders can minimize the impact of losses and improve their overall performance over time.

🚩Symmetrical Triangle🚩 #️⃣OKXIDEAS !!!👨‍🏫Hello, everyone!👋 (Reading time less than 7 minutes⏰). I’m here with another educational post to help you learners become super traders gradually. 🔅 As you know, various tools are usually used in any financial market to analyze all types of stocks, cryptocurrencies, and assets. Chart patterns are one of the essential tools used in technical analysis, and analysts evaluate the market movement and prepare to trade based on technical-fundamental studies. 🔅 The Symmetrical Triangle is one of the most used classic continuous patterns in the field, but it can sometimes turn into reversal patterns, as some analysts say. 🔷 So I’ll explain the following in this article: Defining the triangle pattern Getting to know the structure of a Symmetrical Triangle Types of Symmetrical Triangles How to trade using the Symmetrical Triangle pattern Price target after Symmetrical Triangle pattern The importance of trading volume in the Symmetrical Triangle pattern --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Triangle Pattern: 🔅The triangle pattern is one of the most well-known patterns many traders spend time on. A triangle is a trend continuation pattern that can occur in upward or downward trends. This triangle pattern is formed when a stock, cryptocurrency, or whatever shrinks towards an uptrend or downtrend. The pattern represents a pause in the price trend, and the price consolidates in a range. 🔅 The triangle pattern consists of two converging lines with different slopes depending on the type. At least four major pivots are needed in the specific time frame to form a triangle pattern. Basically, to form a triangle, 45 to 60 candles are needed in the specific time frame. 🔅 The take-profit of this pattern is considered the distance from the first top to the first bottom inside the triangle. 🔷 According to research, 84% agree that the triangle pattern is a continuation pattern that is divided into three types as follows: Symmetrical triangle Ascending Triangle Descending Triangle --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the types of triangles that can lead you to money is Symmetrical Triangle which I’ll explain here: Symmetrical Triangle Pattern in Upward Trends: Take a look at the picture below. You can see the price forms tops and bottoms after an upward trend and then forms lower tops and higher bottoms. 🔅 Now try to draw a resistance line at the top and a support line at the bottom. What do you see? Yeah! That’s a triangle. These two lines will make a tip called the triangle's apex. If the four pivots(at least), two tops and two bottoms, are connected with a line, you can say a Symmetrical Triangle pattern in an upward trend has occurred. 🔅 It’s noted that if the price breaks the support trend line and drops, you’ll see this as a reversal pattern or a Symmetrical Triangle in the downward trend. Not always; a Symmetrical Triangle is a continuous pattern. So Watch out! Here’s a picture of a reversal Symmetrical Triangle and how to trade while it is considered a reversal. How to trade on the Symmetrical Triangle in an upward trend: 1-After the pattern completes, you must wait for the pattern to give us the entry confirmation(the upper line of the Symmetrical Triangle). 2-Try to open a long position when the real breakout happens. That can make a good profit. The real breakout occurs when a green candle like the Marubozu candle closes above the upper line of the Symmetrical Triangle or the resistance line. 3-Don’t forget to put a stop-loss. That will be below the breakout candle or below the prior candle’s bottom. The distance between the first top and the first bottom in the triangle would be one of high risk-to-reward ratio take-profit points. The other way to take the profit is to draw a line from the first top facing the support trend line along. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symmetrical Triangle Pattern in Downward Trends 🔅 Another trend that a Symmetrical Triangle can move is downward trend when the price continues downward after forming the pattern. 🔅 Luckily, one of the best tools that can help you earn lots of money is the Symmetrical Triangle because it supports two-sided markets. But the question is how this type of triangle forms. Stay with me. 🔅 Imagine you’re walking through the bushes for a long time, then you’ll get tired, and you don’t feel energetic in your feet to move on. So do buyers and sellers in the financial markets. 🔅 When the price of an asset enters a converging trend of lower tops and higher bottoms, buyers and sellers test how strong the trend is. The buyers make bottoms at a higher price as sellers prevent the creation of a higher top. 🔅 In this case, the sellers are mostly winners, so better to be a seller rather than a buyer. Like the pattern I already discussed, the Symmetrical Triangle pattern in a downward trend needs at least four significant pivots to be confirmed. 🔅 There's also a possibility of breaking the upper line of the Symmetrical Triangle on the top after the Symmetrical Triangle pattern formation. The reversal pattern has occurred in this case, and the long position is considered a plan. How to trade on the Symmetrical Triangle in a downward trend: 1-You have to wait for the candles to break the lower line of the Symmetrical Triangle. But the only key point is that if the breakout is valid. So if the breakout candle closes below the lower line of the Symmetrical Triangle, it’s time to open a short position. 2-The stop-loss will be above the last top. Therefore, in case of opening a short position on an asset, you can also place your stop-loss above the breakout candle for a higher risk-to-reward ratio. 3-The price targets will be 1) the distance between the first bottom and the first top, or 2) you can draw a line from the first bottom facing the resistance line. 🔷 Below, you can see a Symmetrical Triangle in a downward trend and how you can trade with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Importance of Trading Volume in the Symmetrical Triangle Pattern 🔅 The asset chart is in correction as long as the price chart is inside the Symmetrical Triangle pattern. 🔅 The trading volume in the pattern process will be neutral as most traders are waiting for the follow-up movement of the asset. 🔅 The closer the chart gets to the apex of the triangle to depart from the pattern, the range of fluctuations and the trading volume become less and less. 🔅 The importance of trading volume in the Symmetrical Triangle pattern can be seen near the exit from the pattern. 🔅 If the previous trend of the chart was bullish, it is likely that the trading volume will increase dramatically if the pattern is broken. 🔅 Also, the trading volume will decrease near the triangle's apex, but it increases instantly after breaking out, whether it is an upward or downward trend. 🔅 For this purpose, examining the trading volume in different areas of the pattern can greatly help us better understand the trend and predict the future of the asset. 🔅 In a way, you always have to wait for the chart to go out of the pattern, and by checking the direction of the trend and trading volume, you can make a better decision about buying or selling your currencies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symmetrical Triangle in Elliott Theory The Symmetrical Triangle called the “Contracting Triangle,” is a basic pattern in Elliott Waves. Elliott triangles can be considered one of the stable consolidation patterns in the market, which can be divided into five waves. To return, each of these five waves carries three sub-waves. The waves of the triangle are named A, B, C, D, and E. The Symmetrical Triangle can often be seen as a continuation pattern that creates a pause in the trend and then resumes. In this pattern, wave A, which is the biggest wave in the pattern, can be a zigzag, double zigzag, triple zigzag, or a flat pattern, and wave B can only be a zigzag, double zigzag, or triple zigzag. Waves D and C can also move in their pattern by a zigzag pattern, and finally, an E wave is formed, which can be a zigzag, double zigzag, triple zigzag, and sometimes a triangle. In a Symmetrical Triangle, waves B, C, and D often cover 61.8% of the previous wave. Finally, by drawing this pattern's up-and-down trend lines, the lines get close to each other and cannot be parallel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion: 🔔 In this article, you learned about the Symmetrical Triangle and how to trade using the pattern. You now know where to enter and exit the market to make a suitable profit. Don’t forget to follow your capital management to lower the trading risks.

It is the largest financial market in the world, with an average daily turnover of over $5 trillion. Forex trading can be a profitable investment opportunity, but it is important to understand the market before diving in.

When trading, you are essentially betting on the direction of the exchange rate between the two currencies. There are two main types of analysis used in forex trading: fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis involves looking at economic, political, and social factors that may affect currency prices, while technical analysis uses charts and indicators to identify trading opportunities based on past price movements. It is important to have a solid understanding of risk management when trading forex. This includes setting stop-loss orders to limit potential losses, diversifying your portfolio to spread risk across different currencies, and avoiding emotional trading decisions. In conclusion, forex trading can be a lucrative investment opportunity, but it is important to educate yourself on the market before getting started.

Understanding buy and sell walls is critical for any trader or investor in the cryptocurrency market. It provides access to the order book and valuable insights into the market sentiment of specific cryptocurrencies. This understanding can help forecast future price movements and develop more effective trading strategies. In this article, we will delve into the concept of walls in crypto, explore how to identify and interpret buy and sell walls, and discuss their significance in the market. What is a Wall in Crypto? Understanding Buy Walls Understanding Sell Walls How to Identify Buy and Sell Walls How to Interpret Buy and Sell Walls What is a Wall in Crypto? A wall refers to a large limit order placed on a cryptocurrency trading platform, often depicted as a huge block on the order book. Market makers, institutional investors, as well as individual traders, utilize these large limit orders to buy or sell substantial quantities of a specific cryptocurrency at a predetermined price. Walls tend to have a significant market impact since they can influence the supply and demand levels of a specific cryptocurrency. These large limit orders, representing a considerable quantity of a cryptocurrency bought or sold at a specific price, have the potential to cause significant price fluctuations. Understanding Buy Walls Buy walls are substantial limit orders placed to purchase a specific amount of a cryptocurrency at a particular price or higher. They can be formed by large market makers, institutional investors, or individual traders seeking to buy a significant amount of a cryptocurrency at a specific price or lower. Buy walls can serve to profit from price movements or accumulate a large quantity of a cryptocurrency at a lower price. A buy wall indicates strong demand for a specific cryptocurrency at a certain price or higher, which can be seen as a positive sign for the market. It suggests that buyers are willing to pay the specified price or more, potentially leading to a price increase. Additionally, a buy wall may indicate that a large market maker or institutional investor has faith in the future price of a coin or a token. By investing a substantial sum, they express confidence that the cryptocurrency's price will rise in the future. Traders can utilize the presence of a buy wall to gauge market sentiment and identify potential buying opportunities. Buy walls can also serve as support levels and act as stop-loss points. Understanding Sell Walls Sell walls, on the other hand, consist of large limit orders placed to sell a specific amount of a cryptocurrency at a particular price or lower. Similar to buy walls, sell walls can be formed by market makers, institutional investors, or individual traders looking to sell a substantial amount of a cryptocurrency at a specific price or higher. These limit orders are utilized to profit from price movements or liquidate a large quantity of a cryptocurrency at a higher price. A sell wall indicates a strong supply of a specific cryptocurrency at a particular price or lower, which could suggest overvaluation. It signifies that sellers are willing to sell at the specified price or lower, potentially leading to a price decrease. Furthermore, a sell wall can indicate that a large market maker or institutional investor holds a bearish outlook on the future price of a cryptocurrency. By selling a significant sum, they imply their belief that the cryptocurrency's price will fall in the future. Traders can leverage the presence of a sell wall to assess market sentiment and identify potential selling opportunities. Sell walls can also act as resistance levels for a cryptocurrency and serve as target price points for profit-taking. How to Identify Buy and Sell Walls Buy and sell walls can typically be found in the depth chart of order book on a cryptocurrency trading platform. They are often represented as conspicuous, large blocks, easily identifiable by traders. While some trading platforms provide graphical representations of the order book, this feature is not available on all platforms. When identifying buy and sell walls, it's crucial to consider the context surrounding them, including current market conditions and the specific cryptocurrency being traded. Market conditions can change rapidly, so staying updated and understanding the current market environment is essential for making informed decisions. It's worth noting that larger buy or sell walls tend to have a greater impact on the market compared to smaller ones. A large wall could indicate the involvement of a significant market maker or institutional investor, which can potentially influence the price of a specific cryptocurrency more significantly. How to Interpret Buy and Sell Walls By examining both buy and sell walls, traders can gain insights into the supply and demand levels for a specific cryptocurrency. A large buy wall suggests strong demand, while a large sell wall indicates substantial supply. When used together, these walls provide a comprehensive view of market sentiment and the supply-demand dynamics of a cryptocurrency. Combining buy and sell walls can also help identify potential buying or selling opportunities. For example, if there is a significant sell wall and a large buy wall at the same price level, it may indicate a state of equilibrium in the market, presenting an opportunity for traders to enter or exit positions. The presence of a buy wall typically indicates a bullish sentiment, while a sell wall suggests a bearish sentiment. A market with more buy walls than sell walls tends to exhibit bullish market sentiment, while a market with more sell walls than buy walls suggests a bearish sentiment. It's important to note that the absence of buy or sell walls may indicate a lack of market activity or market uncertainty. It can also imply a period of consolidation or a lack of liquidity, which can impact trading conditions and market volatility. Buy and sell walls can serve as potential entry and exit points for trades as well. A buy wall at a specific price can be seen as an opportunity to enter a long position, while a sell wall at a particular price may indicate a suitable exit point for a short position. Conclusion Buy and sell walls represent significant limit orders placed on cryptocurrency trading platforms, offering insights into the supply and demand levels for a specific cryptocurrency. They are used by market makers, institutional investors, and individual traders to profit from price movements or accumulate/liquidate substantial amounts of a cryptocurrency. Understanding buy and sell walls is instrumental in making informed buying and selling decisions, as they display supply and demand levels and provide insights into market sentiment, which can serve as a reliable predictor of market trends. Analysing the impact of buy and sell walls on the market can help traders develop effective trading strategies, identify potential opportunities, determine entry and exit points, and assess market sentiment accurately.

Volume Indicators: Using Indicators to Analyze VolumeIn our last post we discussed how volume plays a crucial role in financial trading, providing insights into the strength of price movements and overall market sentiment. Volume indicators are essential tools for traders, helping them make informed decisions based on market activity. In this blog post, we will dive deep into the world of volume indicators, discussing their importance and exploring the best indicators available for analyzing volume in day trading. We will also provide practical examples of how these indicators can be used to enhance trading strategies. The Importance of Volume Indicators Volume indicators can reveal the level of interest in a financial instrument, showing how many shares, contracts, or lots are being bought or sold within a specific time frame . By analyzing volume, traders can better understand the market's momentum and identify potential breakouts, reversals, and areas of support or resistance. Volume indicators can also help traders detect bullish or bearish divergences, where price movements and volume are not aligned, indicating a possible trend reversal. Top Volume Indicators a. Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) VWAP is a popular volume indicator that calculates the average price of a financial instrument, weighted by volume. It is often used as a benchmark by institutional traders to gauge the efficiency of their trades. VWAP can help traders identify trends and potential entry and exit points, particularly for intraday trading. b. Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) Like VWAP, VWMA assigns more importance to periods with higher volume by calculating a moving average that incorporates volume data. VWMA can be used to confirm trends, as a rising VWMA in an uptrend or a declining VWMA in a downtrend shows that volume is supporting the price movement. c. Money Flow Index (MFI) MFI is an oscillator that measures the inflow and outflow of money into a financial instrument over a specific time frame. It combines both price and volume data, providing insights into buying and selling pressure. MFI can help traders identify overbought or oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals. d. Accumulation and Distribution Indicator This indicator measures the cumulative flow of money into and out of a financial instrument, helping traders identify accumulation (buying) and distribution (selling) phases. A rising Accumulation and Distribution indicator suggests strong buying pressure, while a falling indicator signals strong selling pressure. e. Klinger Oscillator The Klinger Oscillator is a volume-based indicator designed to predict long-term trends by comparing short-term and long-term volume flows. It can help traders confirm price movements and detect potential trend reversals. f. On-Balance Volume (OBV) OBV is a simple but effective volume indicator that calculates the cumulative volume, adding the day's volume when the price closes higher and subtracting it when the price closes lower. OBV can help traders identify trends and potential breakouts by comparing price movements with volume data. Applying Volume Indicators in Trading When using volume indicators, it is important to remember that they should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and price action analysis. By combining volume indicators with other technical indicators and chart patterns, traders can develop comprehensive strategies for trading breakouts, reversals, and identifying areas of support and resistance. Conclusion Understanding volume and incorporating volume indicators into trading strategies is essential for traders looking to make informed decisions in the financial markets. By using a combination of indicators such as VWAP, VWMA, MFI, Accumulation and Distribution, Klinger Oscillator, and OBV, traders can better analyze market activity and develop effective trading strategies.
