swing trading My name is Shavarie. I am a swing trader. Trade forex is what I do on a daily basis. At the age of 15, everything began. I got started in the financial markets because of my love for a wealthy lifestyle.
I wanted to succeed at this game in order to avoid working a 9 to 5 job and living an average existence. When I was a child, my mom worked hard nearly all of the time. She was typically exhausted from all the stress at work when she arrived home.
I therefore made the decision to choose a life of my own choosing at a very young age. My primary drive was this. Undoubtedly, I too had worldly aspirations.
The most significant one was genuinely living life on my own terms. I struggled a lot in school because I had an issue with my school average performance. I had no choice than to run my own business. But given your youth, lack of company management training, and limited funding, how could you possibly pull that off? After doing a little bit of research, I discovered forex trading. I loved the concept of making my money work for me, so I was determined to become an expert in this area. I can now declare that I have perfected this technique after 3 years. I traded for a living and lived an independent life. Freedom for me is the ability to do what I want every day.
It wasn't always that way. Numerous attempts failed, particularly in the first two years. While I was working at shady jobs, I blew up a few accounts. I wanted it so bad that I invested almost all of my side-hustle income into my trading account. This was one of my main issues back then, as I now realize. I was desperate for it. I wasn't actually trading since every time I suffered a loss, I wanted to recover it as quickly as possible. Most of the time, I was just gambling, and I always felt bad after a trade went wrong.The emotions were like being on a turbulence .Regardless of how much it was a struggle sometimes.
The thrill of trading was incredibly fun for me. I was motivated by the concept of using my money to work for me. I created techniques and put many of them to the test in an effort to master this skill set. I learned that there are numerous strategies for continuously making money in the markets, but most traders fall short in these two areas. Money management and attitude. I was aware that in order to succeed, I would have to become an expert in these two areas. And I carried it out in that manner.
Currently, other traders who want to succeed in this industry are using my knowledge. I'm not a financial advisor, but a reasonably skilled trader who knows how to master a trading skill set . When playing this game, consistency is crucial.
I can teach you everything you need to know to become a consistently winning trader who dominates the market because I have the knowledge and experience.
Swing TradingUp bars signal an uptrend while down bars signal a downtrend, while other price action indicators may be inside or outside bars. The key to success with this strategy is trading off of a chart timeframe that best meets your schedule.
There are also more strategies down below to fallow
Take fewer positions and hold for days.
It is critical that you understand the drivers of your currency pairs and have taken the time to really understand your market. Therefore, after studying the market and narrowing down particular chosen currency pairs, selecting a few positions and holding them for a longer period of time is a prudent strategy for traders. Another wise strategy is to put in stop-loss orders with all your trades to minimize any losses if the market moves against you.
Look at long-term trends.
There is value in looking at longer-term trends (daily/weekly) instead of looking at hourly or even four-hour charts. This will allow you to trade while looking at your computer only once a day.
Set up trading orders.
Setting limit, stop-loss, or other entry/exit orders can ensure you do not miss opportunities to enter or exit positions. Most trading platforms allow for these orders with no additional fees.
Use technology!
Set up automated alerts to your mobile phone or email to keep you informed of currency price movements while you are not actively trading.
swing tradingTraders, usually when just starting out to know many types of indicators such as MAs, moving averageges, and lot more. How common beginner's mistake is to apply a bunch of indicators to a chart without actually knowing how they're calculated to how to interpret their values.
The important thing is do not over complicate your trading system.This can lead towards something called analysis or indicator paralysis and contrary to what you were trying to achieve, it will only worsens your trading. Before using an indicator, it is crucial to understand how it works and what it actually indicate. Most beginners don't understand that indicator has essentially interpreted their price action in a different, supposedly easier to understand way.
IWM / SMALL CAPS - STRONGEST MARKETI have a few observations on the market from last week and going on to this week. Something to note, I'm looking at the WEEKLY chart and have a longer time horizon. This is very intentional. I want to demonstrate that PRIOR to any major market move, BOTH bulls and bears will get shaken out. It is very naive to assume that you can have a strong directional bias and only see a straight line upwards in your P/L.
Focusing on a smaller timeframe will result in some serious shake-outs on both ends of the market. Therefore, taking a step back and being able to see the larger picture can very much help tame emotions and see things for what they really are. Unfortunately, this is a rare character trait of the vast majority of market participants.
As of the close of last week:
Small caps are the strongest area of the stock market.
While Nasdaq, S&P and the Dow Jones broke below their prior June lows, Small Caps HAVEN'T. See for yourself. Even though the overall trend is DOWN, this is a major signal to keep an eye on. Small caps tend to lead in the breakdowns and breakouts.
Big directional moves inside a consolidation zone are not trading signals.
The news on 10/13, Thursday, caused a big sell-off that was followed by a massive rally. Everyone on financial TV and social media was calling bottoms, reversals and quoting statistics. Nonetheless a one-day move doesn't mean anything without a major trend change - which takes TIME (and patience) to develop. The following day, Friday, gave back most of Thursday's gains.
Here's the point - this type of price action is very normal in a sideways consolidations market. All big moves INSIDE A CONSOLIDATION ZONE can be easily faded in both directions.
The June rally took SIX WEEKS to build up. Using that as an example (NOT PREDICTION), we can spend a few more weeks in this sideways chop and that would be totally okay.
A fake-out move in either direction would not surprise me
I've donated far too much money to the market by "going all in" on break-out trades. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see a major breakout with an immediate reversal in the opposite direction. Moral of the story here is to wait for confirmation. A small position is a MUST on all breakouts, since the most powerful breakouts rarely come back to test the breakout level and we don't want to miss out on such opportunities. However, such breakouts are RARE and therefore capital preservation and risk management should be our HIGHEST & #1 PRIORITY.
PERSONAL VIEW
I still lean more bullish in the short-term (2-6 months), even with last week's wreck in the rest of the indices. There's too much negativity in the market among other factors. If my personal experience and observations after many years serves me well, such environment can sooner or later become ripe for a major squeeze. You don't want to fade that train.
Mid/Long-term, I'm leaning bearish for another major leg down. We'll need a good rally first to entice all the bulls back into the market. When you start seeing news about "the bottom is in" or "new highs" statistics, BEWARE!
BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK
"Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good." Psalm 127:1
RUT and roll? Excuse corny title. Am not trading much today so have time to make more dumb jokes.
Broadly positioned short over indices and waiting to see if they break. RUT looks like a high value entry so going to add some positions on this.
I think this may be lagging the other indices (I have most my positions in Nasdaq).
Simple 76 trade. Nothing new to anyone who's familure with my work.
Bear Market Rally on all indexes!!!Hi Peoples.
Just my two cents worth here.
I'm using chart for Russell 2000 as pattern and Bullish candles on there are better formed than the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq, but they will behave almost the same in terms of movement in the market.
I am going long on indexes and reason why is
1. Double bottom on Weekly chart (for russell 2000), with a very bullish Marobozu candle for confirmation (Hard to find this pattern and candle combination on weekly charts)
2. Strong double bottom on daily.
3.Cange of structure on 4hr and lower time frames.
4. Nice bullish pattern forming (4 hr) on recent higher high after break in structure.
I entered long monday Morning and will be looking to buy into pull backs IF the market does indeed make a move up.
As of this writing price is at avery strong resistance zone as highlighted on my chart.
IF price can move through the horizontal, falling trendline and broken upward trendline resistances then that will be further show of strength to back a bull case for at least a relief rally.
I think it is a good chance that we test the 200 ma again where bears will be waiting to do their thing but if all goes to plan and we do get to or close to 200 ma then there is plenty of good long opportunities.
Drop Imminent at Bearish Order BlockMulti Timeframe Analysis
Hint: Russell 2000 testing a bearish order block at 1760 to 1774. Potential fall to 1669 coinciding with bullish orderblock and volume profile point of control.
Bull-Bear Narrative:
1. Price in tight consolidation awaiting explosive breakout.
2. A bullish order block at 1669 needs to be satisfied which will complel a bearish surge. Institutional order blocks are magnets for price.
3. Overbought and doji a 8H
4. Divergence signals.
Await a confluence signifying a rejection from key levels such as order blocks, then take a satisfying counter position. From this juncture, we update the next forecast.
Remember: life often disrespects charts so trade with caution
------
Market order position upon the confluence of valid entry rules on the 4H or 1H chart.
-=ENTRY RULES=-
Trading philosophy: Don’t short at the lowest of the bearish momentum nor do you long at the peak of a bullish impulse. The safest entries are at the end of a retrace on the 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% or 78.6% fibonacci back in the direction of the master trend.
Note: I use Daily/4H or 4h/1H market structures with wave analysis to prep for potential entries. The RSI , MACD and EMA indictors are confirmation for entries at the 4H or 1H timeframe
For Institutional ORDER BLOCK trades:
When price reaches a bearish or bullish orderblock, ascertain the price reversal by means of
1. Dojis
2. Morning/evening stars
3. Several wicks.
4. Engulfing candles or three white soldiers in the opposite direction
5. Marbouzou in the opposite direction.
6. Break of trendline or fast EMAs
For SHORT:
4H chart should confirm that the bullish retrace had turned bearish in the direction of master trend. The MACD should have dropped below zero signifying a bearish environment. Price would have dropped below the 10 and 20 EMA . For good measure, check that the 4h and D1 RSI is below the 50 signal line
For LONG:
4H chart should confirm that the bearish retrace had turned bullish in the direction of the master trend. The MACD should have gone above zero signifying a bullish environment. Price had gone above the 10 and 20 EMA . For good measure, check that the 4h and D1 RSI is above the 50 signal line
Divergences:
The 4H, 8H and 12H chart can reveal hidden divergences on the RSI , MACD , Money Flow Index, CMFI, On Balance Volume and Stochastics. When one or more divergences manifest- be ready. Trend reversal is coming. My best practice is to wait for at least an RSI divergence on the 4H, then drop to M15 to see price shifting with a 50EMA aligned with the 4H divergence.

I am not a financial advisor nor a signal provider. These are the opinions of a 20-year private trader in the legal profession as well as a businessman diversified in the tech and hospitality industries. My favored tools of the trade include wave analysis, price action on the 4H to Weekly timeframes and institutional order flow ( COT data).

Russell 2000 to 1717Multi Timeframe Analysis
Hint: Russell 2000 could not reach a bearish order block at 1762
Bear Narrative:
1. A bearish order block is rejected ; expect a potential rebound to 1717 corresponding to a first fibonacci level. Price gravitates to such market imbalances.
2. Trader's Dynamic Index about to signal oversold.
3. Bearish Anti Butterfly harmonic patterns point at a potential fall to 1717. Extension target at 1660
5. Divergence signals on 4H 8H and daily
Await a confluence signifying a rejection from the order blocks, then take a satisfying counter position. From this juncture, we update the next forecast. A stretch target is the bullish order block at the bottom
Recommendation: set a sell stop order 1000 pips below this order block with a 3000 pip TP. Your SL can be poised above the order block

More Pain for the Russell 2000 to 1500?Multi Timeframe Analysis
Hint: A massive bullish order block spanning 1500 to 1653 begs satisfaction. Price could linger within this range until all pending institutional orders are filled.
Bearish Narrative:
1. Bullish institutional order block about to be reached. Price gravitates to such market imbalances.
2. Multiple MACD, RSI, MFI bearish divergence signals on Weekly and Daily
3. 32, 41 and 44 stand as extremely powerful resistance levels
4. If the bullish Order Block is breached, next support stands at 1425
5. Russell growth capped by a bearish 21 EMA trendline
6. Putin threatens Kyiv with "even tougher response" in case of further Ukrainian "terrorist acts" against Russia. Read more on the Crimean escalation.
Await a confluence signifying a rejection from the bullish order block, then take a satisfying long all the way to the bearish institutional order block at 1921. From this juncture, we update the next forecast. Expect cryptocurrencies to decline further with the decimation of SP500, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones
