PSYCHOLOGY OF A TRADER | MASTER EMOTIONS & MASTER THE MARKET The market is driven by people. The crowds are always behind strong market rallies. What the majority fails to recognize is the fact, that being chaotics in its nature, the markets are always trading in predictable patterns. Believe it or now, but the market participants are driven by the same emotional impulses. It does not really depend on how wealthy is the person. With the core motive being to make a ton of money with a little risk possible, we can derive a universal archetype. Every asset, every financial instrument has an element of a "potential value". Being 100% subjective, an attempt to calculate the future value drives the market. Depending on the current expectation of the crowd and its emotions it is necessary for a professional trader to learn to play with its behavior. With many years of constant observations, the cyclic psychological curve was derived to explain the relationships between our emotions and market cycles. On the chart, I have drawn 9 main stages of trader's psychology: 😶INDIFFERENCE - No opportunities are spotted, searching for the right pick. 🙂OPTIMISM – Positive outlook leading us to buy a certain asset 😃EXCITEMENT – Being initially right in our pick, we feel excited as bulls push the market to the new highs The moment of happiness and feeling of being "a true investor" 🤑GREED – Being thrilled we start to ignore warning signs and add more and more cash to the market believing that the market will never stop. 😕ANXIETY – The market starts taking our gains back. Being biased and nihilistic we keep holding the position, thinking that it is just a pullback. 😩PANIC – Tremor. We are frozen. Emotions are draining our power. We are clueless and helpless. We totally lose the sense of control. 😭DEPRESSION – Position is closed. Money is lost. Considering trading & investment industry to be a scam. 🤔HOPE – The dawn. The market returns back to its normal state. Aspiration & desire to start again. 😆RELIEF – Again we start to believe in our strength. We return and the cycle repeats. Do you recognize yourself in these stages? Please, support our work with like and comment. It really helps.

📚13 Topics You MUST Study in Trading👨‍🎓👩‍🎓 Hey traders, I receive dozens of questions each and every day concerning the topics to study to become an expert in technical analysis. Here I have collected the main subjects that, in my view, are essential for successful trading. *the order of the topics is spontaneous and there is no logical sequence 1️⃣ - Candlestick patterns To me, candlesticks are very important for understanding market behavior. A single wick quite often can tell you a story. Mastering different candle stick patterns, you will be impressed by how much data and information you may derive from analyzing them. 2️⃣ - Price action patterns At first glance price chart is complete chaos. The market looks irrational and it feels like there is no way to read it. Price action patterns are the language of the market. With them, the price fluctuations start to make sense. 3️⃣ - Support & resistance All my predictions, all my trades & signals are always based on support & resistance levels. These are the levels that make the market change its direction, they influence the market so much, therefore you should learn to identify them and constantly hold them on focus. 4️⃣ - Supply & demand zones The only difference between support & resistance and supply & demand zones is the fact that the first ones are represented as levels while the second ones are represented as the zones. The identification of these zones is very important for proper market analysis. 5️⃣ - Key levels Key levels are the strongest supports and resistances. Of course, spotting various supports and resistances on the chart, we can not say that they all are equal in their significance. There is a strong (however subjective) hierarchy of them. The most significant are called key levels and from them, the most significant moves are always expected. 6️⃣ - Trend analysis When I teach my students how to analyze the price chart, I always start with a trend analysis topic. Knowing where exactly the market is going, having specific and objective rules for the trend identification are necessary for successful trading. 7️⃣ - Top-Down analysis Multi-time frame analysis is my passion. I am constantly combining the signals & observations from different time frames to make my trading decision and predict future market moves. It proved to be a very efficient method of trading various markets. 8️⃣ - Financial instruments Though to many it may sound obvious, in practice I know that a lot of people are struggling with a simple question "What to trade?". You must learn to properly build your watchlist and you should have strong reasoning behind the selection of each unite that is inside. 9️⃣ - Trend following trading As we know, the trend is our friend. And even though the phrase itself is very simple and straightforward, it takes so much effort and time to learn to follow the trend properly. 1️⃣0️⃣ - Counter trend trading Occasionally the market reverses. Properly identifying early reversal signs and then catching a sharp counter-trend move, huge profits can be made. Even though such a style of trading is considered to be extremely risky, being applied properly will generate a lot of cash. 1️⃣1️⃣ - Risk management Losses are inevitable. They are part of the game and we can do nothing about that. The only thing that we can do, however, is to control the losses. Calculating the risk for every single transaction is essential to avoid a margin call. 1️⃣2️⃣ - Leverage trading Leverage selection, margin are the things that are tightly connected with risk management topic. These are the terms that you must know how to operate with. 1️⃣3️⃣ - Trading psychology Playing with real money, occasionally losing significant portions of your trading account can be a tough game. It takes time to build a strong psyche to deal with the irrationality of the market. Which topic to start with? Pick any, learn it, study it. They all are equally important so at the end of the day you need to cover them all in order to become successful. ❤️Please, support this idea with a like and comment!❤️

Continuation Patterns GBPNZDRecent move executed on GBPNZD. An impulsive move upwards breaking structure to form a flag pole followed by a corrective pattern to form a flag. Always look for multiple confluences to enter your trades. In this case we had the pattern itself at play as well as a potential order block and the 50% fibonacci level. A perfect scaling oppurtunity also presented itself on break of the pattern. Our take profit target was set using the previous price range of the last impulsive move up. (flag pole) Once the area of interest was reached we notice multiple rejection candles and close the trade.

Possible Sell Coming ?Points to Consider - The death cross preceded the economic downturns in 1929, 1938, 1974, and 2008. There have been many times when a death cross appeared, such as in the summer of 2016, when it proved to be a false indicator. Analysts also watch for the crossover occurring on lower time frame charts as confirmation of a strong, ongoing trend. Regardless of variations in the precise definition or the time frame applied, the term always refers to a short-term moving average crossing over a major long-term moving average. Hidden divergences signal a possible trend continuation. FIB Confluence zone acting as Resistance. This is just an idea for Analysis. Please do not SELL based just on this :)
