HOW FOREX BROKERS MANIPULATE YOU TRADING? Real Example
Last month, I spotted a nice trading position on NZDCAD forex pair.
I shared that with my TradingView subscribers immediately after I placed the trade.
Though, the price moved exactly as it was predicted, the half of the members did not make any penny from this signal, while another half made a nice profit.
It happened because of one rare thing that I absolutely hate in trading.
Learn about a major frustration and market manipulation in trading, that no one will tell you about.
Here is the trading position that I spotted.
It was a classic price action trading setup based on a double top pattern.
Trade was taken on a retest of a broken neckline aiming at the closest strong support and stop loss lying about the tops.
Though, initially, the market started to fall rapidly. But it reversed, not being able to reach the target.
Watching that bullish rally resumes, I send the signal to my students to close the trade on entry, and I also did that personally.
I felt myself quite sad that I did not mange cash out from that trade.
Later on in the evening, surprisingly, I started to receive multiple thank you messages from my members that they made a good profit with that signal.
How could it be?
I decided to anonymously ask the members, how did they close the trade.
More than half of the members replied that the trade reached take profit.
Can it be possible? My TP was not reached and it was still quite far from the lowest low.
Now, examine the trading setup on NZDCAD on charts of different popular forex brokers.
On these 6 charts, you can see NZDCAD pair on OANDA, CAPITALCOM, IC MARKETS, ICE, FXCM, FOREX.COM brokers.
While in half of the instances TP was not reached, in other half, TP was reached and the price went even lower.
Why it happened?
There are the rare situations in Forex trading, when the price action on one broker can be very different from another.
It happens because different brokers have different liquidity providers, spreads, order execution methods and so on.
That is why the selection of a good broker is so vital in trading.
If you use TradingView for chart analysis, make sure that you watch all the instruments of one broker.
Moreover, once you start trading your strategy, always check how the price acted with different broker quotes.
If you will see a lot of instances that your tp is not hit, while on another broker it would, it will be a signal for you to change the broker.
When I started learning trading, no one told be that important nuance of Forex trading.
But knowing that is a very significant step in your trading journey.

TradeCityPro | APTUSDT The Beginning of a New Downtrend!👋 Welcome to TradeCityPro Channel!
Let's go back to the day when Trump imposed tariffs on the United States again, causing stocks and cryptocurrencies to fall and gold to rise. Let's take a look at our attractive altcoin chart
🌐 Overview Bitcoin
Before starting the analysis, I want to remind you again that we moved the Bitcoin analysis section from the analysis section to a separate analysis at your request, so that we can discuss the status of Bitcoin in more detail every day and analyze its charts and dominances together.
This is the general analysis of Bitcoin dominance, which we promised you in the analysis to analyze separately and analyze it for you in longer time frames.
📊 Weekly Timeframe
APT remains inside its large, volatile range, frequently bouncing between its highs and lows. However, this time, it has formed a lower high, which is not a positive sign.
Additionally, after breaking $7.78, sellers completely engulfed the weekly candle, and for the past five weeks, all candles have been red with high selling volume, confirming the downtrend.
There is no buy trigger at the moment, and I cannot recommend a buying opportunity until the market forms a new structure.
For selling, if APT drops below $4.97, it makes sense to exit and accept the loss instead of holding onto a losing position.
📉 Daily Time Frame
In the daily time frame, the power is in the hands of the sellers! After the parabolic line broke, we experienced a Sharpe decline, accompanied by the formation of a lower ceiling and floor, which has continued our downward trend.
The parabolic movement itself is a very rapid and bullish movement, and every time the price hits it, it quickly returns to its trend and is supported, but when this line is broken, that trend is practically over and we suffer, or we experience a Sharpe decline like this chart!
After the drop and the formation of a box between 5.136 and 6.491, the selling force was clearly evident in this space, because the last time we moved towards the ceiling of 6.491, we could not reach this ceiling and we were rejected earlier.
This rejection made us return to this support faster with a number of red candles, unlike the previous attempt where we moved up with a larger number of candles. Yesterday's daily candle also engulfed the previous 3 candles and is exactly ready to break 5.136.
If today's daily candle closes in the same way, the probability of a drop in the coming days will increase and increase. If you are a holder of this coin, it is logical to sell and after returning to the box and breaking its ceiling, buy with the same number of Tethers and reduce the probability of a drop and loss of capital for yourself!
✍️ Final Thoughts
Stay level headed, trade with precision, and let’s capitalize on the market’s top opportunities!

Tencent Holdings (TCEHY) – Technical & Fundamental OutlookTencent Holdings Limited (TCEHY) is currently trading between $62–$64, maintaining structure within a well-defined ascending channel. After testing the $73 resistance level—a key price from 2020—the stock faced rejection, triggering a retracement phase and a shift into a daily consolidation range.
This range now appears to be forming a short-term descending pullback channel, potentially continuing into June–July. Based on historical price action, the next key demand zone sits between $55–$60, a level that served as multi-year support and resistance from 2018 to 2024. A revisit of this zone would likely draw strong buying interest, making it a high-probability long opportunity.
Technical Levels to Watch:
Buy Zone: $55–$59 (long-term structural support)
Mid-Term Resistance: $73 (tested and rejected, but weak)
Breakout Target: $80–$81 (resistance from 2020)
Major Upside Level: $99 (2021 all-time high)
From a macro perspective, Tencent is strongly positioned in China’s growing tech ecosystem, with diversified operations across gaming, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies. These sectors remain critical to the country's long-term innovation strategy.
If Tencent successfully holds the $55–$60 support zone and regains momentum, a move toward $80–$81 by September becomes plausible. A confirmed breakout above that range would put $99 back on the map, opening the door for new all-time highs into late 2025.
Conclusion:
Current market structure suggests we may be entering a healthy retracement phase within a larger bullish trend. The $55–$59 zone offers a favorable risk-reward area for long-term positions, with strong upside potential as Tencent continues to align with China’s tech-driven growth narrative.
LTC - Bulls Getting Ready!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈 Long-term, LTC has been overall bullish, trading within the rising channel marked in red.
📍 As it retests the lower bound of the channel — perfectly intersecting with the blue support—I will be looking for medium-term longs.
🚀 For the bulls to take over long-term and initiate the next bullish phase, a breakout above the last major high marked in orange at $97 is needed.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

EOS price analysis⁉️ Do you know which asset has been growing instead of falling for 3 weeks now?)
Yes, it's #EOS
You will say that its price simply has nowhere to fall, and you will probably be right again!)
Although it is still very far from 0, it was once the largest ICO in 2017, if memory serves, it raised $4 billion.
8 years have passed and #EOS capitalization does not even reach $1 billion.
In general, the price of OKX:EOSUSDT moves quite well between levels, so you can use them from the chart for your trading.
Or just continue to wait patiently for the #EOSUSD price to reach $0.70, $1, or even $1.40 again.
🤑 But with even the most optimistic forecasts, we have very little faith that the price of #EOS will reach more than $6 in this growth cycle.

Is 5,700 the New 6,000?The S&P 500 has struggled recently, and some traders may see risk of further downside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the three-day jump above 5,700 early last week. The move peaked around the January low of 5,773. It also represented a false breakout above the November low of 5,696.50.
In other words, two former support levels have emerged as new resistance.
It’s also reminiscent of the price action in January and February, when failure to hold 6,000 triggered selling.
Next, last week’s high occurred at the 200-day simple moving average. That may suggest the longer-term uptrend has ended.
Third, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has remained below the 21-day EMA. That may indicate that a shorter-term downtrend has begun.
Finally, given the weakening momentum, traders may start eyeing longer-term levels for potential support. One potential spot could be the September low of 5,403, followed by the August trough of 5,119.

Bitcoin's Buy Zone Revealed: The R/Evolution Of FinanceFor this bull-market, the buy-zone can extend as high as $100,000. This is because Bitcoin is set to grow above $160,000 to reach $180,000 and even up to $200,000 in the latter part of 2025. So even $100,000 can be a good entry for total profits of 100% when we reach 200K... If it goes higher, better!
Let's try again.
How are you feeling today?
A new day, a new chart; a great market.
While Bitcoin is solid right now, price-wise, it is still trading within our buy-zone.
Below $90,000 Bitcoin is an awesome buy. Have people been telling you this lately?
Yes? No!
No??? I am shocked. This is pure evil.
Bitcoin is now a great opportunity, a great buy when you consider that it will be trading 50% higher in a matter of months. Even better when you consider that everything that is Crypto related is set to grow.
Well, it is no problem, I am here to show my support.
Bitcoin is set to rise and it will rise really strong.
The last chance to buy at low prices is present and available now.
Bitcoin is an awesome buy below $90K.
Anything below 90,000 is great.
Below 80,000 is awesome but a rare opportunity and likely gone. This kind of price was only available for a few hours in 2025. Bitcoin has never closed below 80K weekly in its history. Were you aware of this fact?
The saying normally goes, "Sell in May and go away."
In 2025, this won't be the case.
The saying now is, "Buy everything now and become rich."
"Buy everything and hold strong."
Cryptocurrency is set to rise. Bitcoin is still trading at a nice price within our long-term accumulation-entry (buy) zone. The time is now.
Regardless of your strategy, your system, your method or your plan; accumulation is great.
You can accumulate now. If prices drop, buy more. If prices rise, buy more. When the rise becomes strong, hold. When the top is in or close, start to take profits because after a strong bullish phase comes a correction. You don't want to be caught holding during the correction. You can buy when prices are low. Hold as the market grows. Sell when the market peaks. If you sell when the market peaks, you can buy back-in when the next low is in. There is plenty of time to decide and take action. There is no way to miss a good entry.
Consider the chart and market now. Bitcoin has been sideways for months. Many months we have time to plan and buy. It will be the same after the end of the bullish cycle, so it will be wise to take profits when prices are up.
Buy and hold now. Sell later when everything grows.
I will be here to alert you of great timing to sell at the top.
Right now we are at the bottom. Nothing more needs to be said.
Bitcoin is trading within our long-term buy-zone.
You know what to do.
Take action.
Thanks a lot for your continued support.
Cryptocurrency was invented to usher a financial revolution. A revolution that is beneficial for all those involved. Everybody can win with Crypto, even the banks, if they adapt to the evolution of finance.
Imagine going against email and the Internet because it is new and you are the owner of the mailbox.
In retrospect, we know this to be simply unreasonable, we can only adapt and change because reality is always changing, no matter what our beliefs are or preferences. Today it is the same.
We have new money and humanity will never look back again.
We are in the early days of the Internet. The early days of Crypto. Those taking action now, will be looking like geniuses 10-20 years ahead. It is not too late. It is pretty early. Really early. Crypto is less than 20 years old. There are Bitcoins to be mined until 2140.
Join the revolution now, become the evolution of finance you yourself and get rich in the process.
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.
ChinaH Index – Mid-Term Technical OutlookThe ChinaH Index is currently trading at $8,390, after recently rejecting the key resistance level of $9,200, a historically significant zone last tested in 2021. Despite this rejection, the index remains well-positioned within a strong and intact bullish channel, signaling long-term upward momentum.
Current Setup:
We are now observing a short-term relief bounce from $8,390, with potential to retest the $8,700 area. This move is part of a broader technical structure that suggests a healthy pullback phase before resuming long-term growth.
Pullback Scenario:
Following the potential retest of $8,700, the index may enter a correction phase, targeting $7,600 as a core support level—this zone previously acted as resistance in 2022 and is likely to serve as strong structural support heading into mid-2025.
Before reaching $7,600, the first interim support sits at $8,200, a level that previously served as support in 2020 and triggered the recent bounce. If $8,200 fails to hold during the retracement, a deeper correction toward $7,600 would allow for stronger consolidation and improved structural health within the overall bullish channel.
Two Potential Bullish Scenarios After Pullback:
Continuation within the Current Bullish Channel:
A bounce from $7,600 would resume upward momentum.
Primary upside target: $9,700 – a key multi-year resistance zone from 2017–2020.
A clean breakout above $9,700 would confirm a long-term bullish breakout and shift market sentiment decisively.
Formation of a New Bullish Channel:
In the event of prolonged consolidation, price could range between $7,100–$8,700 from September to December 2025.
A breakout in January 2026 would confirm a new ascending structure, offering a refreshed bullish path with long-term upside.
Key Levels to Watch:
Resistance: $8,700 → $9,200 → $9,700 (Major Breakout Zone)
Support: $8,200 → $7,600 → $7,100 (Range Floor if prolonged consolidation)
Summary:
While short-term pullbacks may test market resilience, the underlying bullish structure remains intact. A correction to $7,600 could act as a launchpad for the next major leg higher. Whether through continuation in the current channel or the formation of a new one, the ChinaH Index presents multiple bullish pathways, with $9,700 being the key level that could signal a long-term shift in trend.
Patience and disciplined positioning in the upcoming months will be crucial as we watch for confirmation of the next directional move.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
What a week on the markets! Gold playing ball giving us the move we wanted for the tariff news, then the short presented itself, we issued KOG's bias of the day and the bearish targets, and wow, all completed!
In Camelot we gave the idea yesterday and planned where we wanted to go up to for the longs, where we wanted to short from and then where we wanted to buy from again. Not to the pip how we like it, but it worked extremely well!
So what now?
We have NFP looming, liquidity has been swept and we're back up above 3100. Due to NFP, we can expect price to want to attempt to stay close to the MA's on the hourly so a break of 3110 should take us up into the 3125-35 as long as the 3095 level holds up price!
From Camelot this morning:
Support: 3124 / 3120 / 3116 / 3110 / 3106 / 3098 / 3095
Resistance: 3130 / 3135 / 3137 / 3145 / 3147 / 3150 / 3155
Price: 3129
KOG’s Bias of the day:
Bearish below 3134 with targets below 3110✅ and 3103✅
Bullish on break of 3134 with target above 3145 and 3150
RED BOXES:
Break above 3135 for 3140, 3145, 3155 and 3161 in extension of the move
Break below 3120 for 3110✅, 3106✅, 3097✅ and 3085✅ in extension of the move
Summary:
Due to NFP tomorrow we’re likely to continue with this ranging and choppy price action with resistance above at key level 3540 now which will need to break to go higher. Support 3125 should be tested again, with that 3110 level again the key level! This time however, if tested we may break below, so I would say I’m playing caution on longs at the moment.
As always, trade safe.

Lingrid | SOLUSDT testing MARCH low. Short OpportunityBINANCE:SOLUSDT market is making lower lows and lower closes, indicating a bearish trend. It is slowly approaching the key psychological level at 100.00 while currently testing the previous month's low. The price broke and closed below the upward trendline that had been holding for a couple of weeks. I think the price may continue to move lower toward the key support level, and there is a possibility it could push even lower. Furthermore, the price has been consolidating around the 120.00 level, demonstrating significant bearish sentiment in the market. I expect the price to move lower, possibly breaking below the March low. My goal is support zone around 102.00
Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩💻
Compound: Ready, Bullish, LONG (More Than 30X Growth Potential)Compound is ready. COMPUSDT is now confirmed bullish. Time to go LONG.
How are you doing my friend in this beautiful day?
I hope you are doing great. Another interesting pair with a great entry price, a great project as well.
Compound produced the highest volume in several years as we entered April 2025. This is huge. This signal alone reveals that the next bullish wave is already here.
A long-term support holds —fails to be tested, which is bullish; we have a higher low. A yearly double-bottom is present on the chart, August 2023 and August 2024. March 2025 produced the higher low.
The previous session produced the highest buy (bullish) volume since March 2022, three years ago. There is also a long upper wick on the candle. This means that resistance has been removed. The rise can now happen smoothly as all the sell orders all the way to $75 have been fulfilled. We are LONG on this pair.
Compound has been producing higher highs since mid-2023. These higher highs are part of a long-term, wide, consolidation phase. This consolidation is the preparation for the 2025 bull-market. We are looking at a potential of... I don't know, maybe $1,444 as the next All-Time High. Let's do the maths. Some 30X.
This is a timing based chart. "Seek you first great entry prices and timing, and all these profits shall be added unto you."
If you want to know more about the numbers and signals, search for COMPUSDT when you visit my profile, you will find all the numbers for the 2025 All-Time High and beyond.
This pair is good now to buy and hold.
Leveraged traders can also approach this pair with low risk and a high potential for reward.
Thank you for reading.
Your support is appreciated.
Namaste.
Avalanche's Higher Low Indicates The Bottom Is InAVAX is currently trading above its August 2024 bottom low price, and this is bullish.
AVAXUSDT produced a major low on the 10-March trading session. The current session is a higher low compared to this date. This is a double bullish signal. The August low and last month. Both are active, valid and hold.
So the August 2024 low was actually tested and pierced but the session close happened above this level. The bottom back then was $17.27. In March, AVAXUSDT went as low as $15.30 but closed at $17.51. The next session went below again and hit $16.95 but closed at $18.5. As you can see, the bulls win.
The current session is green after four sessions closing red. Each session has two candles, 48 hours (2D candles).
Here we have the activation of long-term support. Classic behaviour before a major bullish run.
The dynamic is always this: The correction unravels and gains momentum before reaching its end. When it hits bottom, there is a strong reaction causing a sudden bullish jump. This bullish jump is short-lived and quickly corrected. This short-term correction ends in a higher low. From this higher low, prices start a new wave of growth. We are entering this new growing phase now.
Thanks a lot for your continued support.
This is another time based chart.
The time to enter is now, always focusing on the long-term.
We buy now with the patience and mindset to hold between 6-8 months. If this can be done, easy and big wins will be yours.
The 2025 All-Time High potential and more can be found by visiting my profile.
Thanks a lot for the follow. Your support is appreciated.
Namaste.

WISH YOU ALL LUCK
EDUCATION: The $5 Drop: How Trump’s Tariffs Sent Oil TumblingOil markets don’t move in a vacuum. Politics, trade wars, and global economic shifts all play a role in price action. Case in point: the recent $5 drop in oil prices following Trump’s latest tariff announcement.
What Happened?
Markets reacted swiftly to Trump’s renewed push for tariffs, targeting key trading partners. The result? A ripple effect that sent oil prices tumbling as traders anticipated lower global demand. The logic is simple—higher tariffs slow trade, slowing trade weakens economies, and weaker economies use less oil.
Why It Matters to Traders
For traders, this kind of volatility is both an opportunity and a risk. Sharp price drops like this shake out weak hands while rewarding those who position themselves with clear strategies. If you trade crude oil, understanding the macro picture—beyond just supply and demand—can make or break your positions.
The Next Move
Is this just a knee-jerk reaction, or the start of a larger trend? Smart traders are watching key levels, tracking institutional order flow, and looking for confirmation before making their next move.
How do you react when headlines move the market? Do you panic, or do you position yourself with a plan? Drop a comment and let’s talk strategy.
