This trade was worth the wait. It was executed on the basis of 1h impulse entry. In this scenario we had to keep in mind how the 15min and the 30 min candles were forming.

Obv we wanted the 1h candle to break the low of the previous candle, but we needed candle confirmations on the smaller timeframes. Keeping in mind the formation of candles based on LLs and LHs, 15min timeframe gave us that confidence in executing sells.

There are a few things to understand here. As the price was consolidating today before pre London, we had to wait for price to either break above or below.

If we broke above there was a range of 100 pips price had to cover. In this case price broke above and continued pushing without ANY retracement or formation of support. There is a rule of thumb here. As price breaks above a consolidation or below it, it should cover 50% of the range before retracing for continuation. Now read the previous line 5 times.

If it does not retrace after 50% covering the range, and continues to fill the range then its not coming back. The idea of counter trend here is to WAIT for price to create some sort of a market structure before you do your analysis for a trade.

This is just trash price action. 2519.50 and above is something I will be looking for or 2510.50 and below. Normally in a range like this is where traders lose most of the money. Look at it this way, price goes up, you buy, it goes down you get in a drawdown then you sell, then it goes up again and now your sells are in a drawdown and you buy again. Before you know it, you are in 3-4 losses.

When price DOES break above 2519.50, and you get your confirmation, you are SO broken and so fucked up from the losses that your confidence does n**ot allow you to take the trade you should be taking and instead you just watch it play out. You watch others take the trade, you watch RajaBanks take the trade.

The difference between you losing every waking fucking moment in the market is becuase you lack the willingness to WAIT for price to come to you. Rather you enter the ring of the market expecting it to just hand over free money to you. Nah son, thats not how it works.

BTW after september 30th Subscription to MFU School goes up to $150/month. Be safe in this deadly range though !

Most times when trades, run in profits I see traders put their stop loss to break even. Now you have to understand, once you put your stop loss to break even that means you are excepting the desired outcome.

This means if price comes back to your entry point it will stop you out at break even. So I don’t understand why it comes as a surprise for most traders.

What my favorite thing to do if I will put stoploss to breakeven is to secure atleast 90% of the position. When I have 90% secured I can leave the remaining running with stoploss at breakeven. The worst case scenario is that I would have made 90% of the profits and the rest of the position would get stopped out at breakeven. The best possible scenario is that the remaining position will continue to run in profits.

So whenever you decide to put stop loss at breakeven, always secure some profits.

Its always a good idea to refresh zones as you see price forming.

The trade idea here was simple.

We had a very clean range of 50-60 pips. We have clean ranges aswell on the 1h and 30min timeframes will 2401-2403. The ONLY issue was on the 15min timeframes where there was a possible rejection at 2399.

Now this is what you have to ask yourself. Would you trust rejection zones on 15min or would you base your idea on 1h or 30min ? Once you answer that question, looking at the 1h or 30min it will make it easier for you to make a decision.

When you combine the analysis from 15min subjective zones and align that with the 30min analysis, things become much more clear. Always remember, you DONT have to always aim for 40-50 pips. Most times you can grow your accounts by focusing on 15-25 pips everyday.

Most of you lost part of your weekly profits today. It happens on a Friday. Why ?

Discipline. At times we think we can end the week strong. At times we thing we can make up for lost profits on a Friday. At times we try to push the envelop.

Maybe at times we chase that WHOLE number in our account to $10,000 or $5,000 or $1,000. That is the most damaging mentality. The chase is where we get left behind.

Take this weekend to review your trades. Review ALL the trades. Maybe some trades were dumb, or you never used a stoploss, or you let that ONE position run rogue which led to a massive drawdown.

Reviewing your weekly performance is the key in trading. Trust me!

Entries on retracements is a very popular concept. Doing so you not only get good entries at good prices, but also your stop losses are smaller aswell.

Now i’m not going to say that taking entries on every opportunity as price retraces is a good idea, but what I will stress upon upon is that technically and via market structure it SHOULD make sense.

In this example, you can see that candles were forming smaller as price was approaching 2326. The candle which closed with a small body, indicated that volume may be slowing down alittle bit. As that happens, normally we get a retracement after which price starts to move bearish.

However in this scenario, the next candle closed bullish with a bigger body indicating that there still is bullish volume for price to continue.

Its very important to understand price action and how volume and zones affect the movement of price. At times we may talk ourselves out of a trade due to rejections on the charts, or some zones on a smaller timeframe. What we as traders need to realize is that even though there may be rejections to the left, or small zones on a weak time frame, with volume those zones can be broken.

Volume is the only concept on the charts which will break zones.

In the first trade we could see there were rejections on the 15min timeframe. Rejections means there is a chance price can reject as it comes into that area. But you also have to keep in mind, which rejection is a weaker one and which rejection is a stronger one. Knowing these make make a big difference in your confidence when you place a trade.

There is a rule I have as a trader. That rule is this

"Never change your bias. If you take a loss, step back, stick to your bias and aim to give it a second chance."

I broke this rule today. If I had stuck to my rule I would have been positive today. This all proves that I am human too. lol.

Let me explain. So Image (1) is where a buy was executed. This was also discussed with our community in discord about potential buys for Gold as the support 2327 was being rejected. So the 2 small buy orders that you see, were executed at (1) as the 15min candle was breaking above the highs. Now the idea was, since we are rejecting on the 30min aswell, we have a clean 30-35 pip range that goes all the way up to 2331.

As price retraced and started to break the 15min low, I decided to close the trade and manage my risk, and give it another chance once it formed a bearish structure around Pre London volume.

Now image (2) is when the trading devil crept in my mind. This is the most dangerous time. As price pumped bearish with volume, I dont know what blanket of confusion came over me, but I broke my rule.

I changed my bias and took a sell which you can see in (2). Now when you look closely, and for those reading this who know about impulse entries, you can see that where I closed my sell, was the EXACT point where an impulse entry for a buy would have been !

THAT moment in (3) was the point where I could have given my bias a second chance. But since I broke my rule, changed bias and took a loss I decided to call it a day.

All of us are guilty of changing biases at one point or another. Some change them multiple times in a day and some stick to their guns. Today I got weak, changed my bias and learnt a lesson.

Another thing is this, if you change your bias, you MAY win here and there and that will lead you to believe that this will work all the time. In reality it won't. So remember the following points ALWAYS :

• Never change your bias

• If you change your bias and lose, you will not be confident enough to give your bias a second chance

• Always always protect the down side and aim to WAIT for the bias to give you a second chance.

  
  

Good luck !

This morning before Pre London I sent analysis to our MFU community. After that Gold pushed up 70 pips and dropped 140 pips. When you look at the moves like these, its better to ask yourself, IF you were looking at price action, where could you have taken a trade.

Look at the chart attached so you get an idea of how I would have executed on a potential sell. This requires you to have knowledge about candles, fakeouts and impulse entries.

This is hindsight analysis and trust me that is the ONLY way to learn. Its always better to do analysis AFTER price has moved to see HOW you could have executed on a potential trade, than to have anxiety of missing a trade and chasing price.

Its NFP today, so be careful :)

Today was a very demanding day. From the first trades there were some psychological factors we have to keep in mind.

Initially I was looking for buys as the trend was bullish and price was coming back in the range above 2367-2368. Looking at the way price action was formed, there was a fakeout and candles were closing back in. Having a closer look at price action I noticed there was a resistance formed 17—20 pips above, which then it made no sense to look for a buy as above the resistance 2370 there was a bigger cleaner range of 40pips.

This is where you have to be fluid in the markets.

• Recognized the buys would be short lived below 2370

• Buys would only make sense above 2370

• IF currently there were no buys, and price had formed a low, then MAYBE there is an opportunity for sells.

Being fluid in the markets is all about this. You have to recognize both scenarios at the same time. At times as traders we will see Buys, and we will see sells. That is not a problem. The problem is when we marry our biases and become stubborn. Reading price action is key in the markets and also understanding variable zones as price shifts.

The 90 pip buys on Gold were self explanatory. This was ONLY executed based on 4h and Daily. This breakdown and analysis was also sent in Discord ahead of time.

Watch from 25:50 onwards to see exactly where the sells were executed.

Below is a current Gold chart. I personally have not taken a trade. When I look at this, I see a 80+ pip move on gold. Now there are somethings I will keep in mind:

• Price has moved 80+ pips

• There was volume in the market

• I cannot chase price since the move has already happened

These things are very important to keep in mind as you are navigating price action. Alot of time you will MISS the move. When you miss the move, you look around at your peers and see some traders were in the trade. What do you do next ? You start to execute thinking you can chase price.

That is where most traders go wrong. The best thing to do at that moment is to tell yourself "I have missed the move". That statement will keep you safe more often that not. Its never a good idea to chase. NEVER CHASE.

What do you do next when you accept that you have missed the move ? You look at price action, and you start to explain to yourself WHERE could you have executed the trade. Makes notes and visualize your entry, because believe it or not, these situations will happen over and over again. If you start to chase price, you MAY win, but more often you will get caught in a retracement.

Studying the price action, will help you be READY for the next time it happens. In the chart below you see the arrow, that is where I would have executed the trade.

Wick fills are a powerful tool. Today was a day where alot of traders made alot of mistakes. I wouldn’t really call them mistakes, but I would say if you managed risk, you did OK.

We have to keep in mind the importance of multi timeframe analysis. When looking at wick fills, at times the candles can show rejections with big wicks. That puzzle can only be solved if we breakdown to the lower timeframes for better confirmations.

The 30 minute candle here had a wick that looked like an exhaustion candle. Now whenever the wick is bigger than the body, especially when it is double the size of the body, that is a clear example of exhaustion. So when we investigate the lower timeframes on the 15min, we can actually see some sort of a structure forming. At times we have seen it, we have noticed it move in a predictable manner, but maybe the confidence in execution is not there.

How do you build confidence in execution ? Watch these moves happen over and over again multiple times.

Below is how my week went. Its Friday today.

Today is the end of the week and also its end of the month. There is no reason to go full retard mode today. There is no reason you should lose your profits of the week or of the month. Its better to call it a day and come back Monday, Fresh week, Fresh Month.

What we see on Dominion Markets is that most clients will lose on Fridays especially if its end of the month. Why ? No idea !

• Chasing even numbers on account balances

• Making up for the loss they had on that one trade

• Trying to prove to their group they can trade

Lots of reasons. I just find it very helpful to just call it a day, enjoy Friday like you would at your work and come back strong Monday !

Some things I want to point out before we start making notes.

Whenever you are looking for impulse entries, and you are fearful of missing out on trades. Count the candles before you. If you look at 30min or 15min and you are looking for sells, just count the bearish candles before you.

As a rule of thumb, if I see there are 3-4 bearish candles before me and i’m expecting the 5th candle to continue bearish, there is a very small chance I will execute on that trade. This means, i’m expecting the 5th candle to continue bearish aswell. So ask yourself this question “What’s the probability of the 5th candle to continue, vs what is the probability for a pullback?” Once you can answer that question, your issue is resolved there.

Some things to note here.

• When price is ranging, always measure that range to see if it is tradable.

• Always look for what can make price move bullish vs bearish

• Always make note of what market sessions have passed and was there volume or not ?

Impulse entries are very powerful as we have seen in the past. When there is volume, price will continue to push via volume. Volume is your weapon in the markets, and use it for price to break zones and levels.

It's GBP and USD holiday. Normally there is very less volume on these days. Due to low volume spreads are also higher than normal. Be very careful today.

At times though, there can be good moves but dont buy into those moves. At times price also starts to consolidate due to lack of volume. Days like today are when traders are most prone to lose money. Also it's a Monday so please take it easy.

• Don't over trade

• Don't rush

• Don't over risk

Just understand there is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. DO NOT lets one day, especially Monday define your entire week !

There will be times where price will not trend. As we have seen in the past, GBPJPY, GBPUSD, XAUUSD etc can have some very strong trending days and its easy to get 40-50 pips.

But sometimes there are days where the market does not move in that manner and just jerks around for 15-25 pips. Its very important during these times to keep your self control in check. When you look at the session or a currency pair or a commodity for sometime, you start to understand its movements. That can only come with time. You cannot learn that from any course or a webinar, you need to understand that with time.

Friday is the day where most of these things happen :

• You lose your weekly gains

• You over trade to make back your loses

• You over risk to make back your losses

Treat Friday as a day to go over how your week went. Be VERY selective of the trades you take on Fridays !

How long will you lose all your profits on Fridays ? For how long ? Lower your risk on Fridays.

Ill be using 0.69 lots.

There are Two scenarios that can play out whenever looking at price action. There can be buys and sells. Its very important to stay fluid in the markets once you et some experience under your belt.

The buy trades were risky but there was a method behind the madness.

• Previous 1h candle had closed bullish

• 30 min candle body was smaller

• What’s the probability that the 1h candle was making a lower wick to continue bullish ?

3am EST. See you there !

Stop trading now ! You are just compounding losses 😡

This little scalp was sent to the Discord for potential buys. Honestly all you need is a small portion out of a big move.

Secure 15-20 pips. That's it. A lot of us we focus on the full moves. But think about it, how many times have you really caught the full move ?

Lets say out of 10, how many times have you REALLY caught the full move ? 3 ? 4 ? Be honest with yourself.

Now ask yourself, how many times price has gone in profits for 15 pips and then reversed on you ? Out of 10. Be honest.

There's your answer right there. Happy Tuesday and follow this rule today.

PS: There is much more inside Market Fluidity University.

At times its important to understand when there will be volume in the markets. Normally Pre London and London Open are times when there is lots of volume. But sometimes volume can come in earlier than Pre London. So how do we know there will be volume before Pre London ?

The thing is this, if you spend 4-6 months watching a session, you will understand that volume does not necessarily come at the same time all the time. Some times there will be volume before the session, sometimes it may be during the session, after the session or have no volume at all.

Lots of traders Will ask this question whenever they are in the trade. The thing is you don’t have to aim for the next zone or you don’t have to aim for the next rejection level. Whenever you’re in a trade focus on the range and focus on how many Pips can you get in that range.

My rule of thumb is to always focus on 15-20pips keeping risk management in check. That’s it.

I’m not looking for 100s of Pips. I’m looking for sizable chunks I can eat everyday. Simple.

It’s CPI. Don’t be dumb and risk your profits.

It’s better to miss a trade than to take a late entry and lose. Even though after reading this you will still do the same.

But remember, the pain of losing a trade is much higher than the pain of missing a trade.

Measuring a range is very important as you are looking for trades.

Some key factors in these sells were :

·       Clean range to the left

·       Pre London Session

·       Candle confirmations

Trade 1:

15 min candle closed below support. Now since the 30 min candle was still open, some traders will wait for the 30min to close to take entries. There is nothing wrong with that. BUT, at times the candle keeps moving and you miss out the trade. So what do you do ?

You learn to focus on the 15min candles. Now we know two 15min candles create the overall 30 min candle so in this scenario, the 15min candle closed below support. When the next candle formed is dropped down initially in the first few seconds.

Trade 2:

Now this is where things get a little bit complicated. So bear with me.

When a candle closes with no wick to the bottom on a bearish candle in a bearish session trend, there is a 50-50 probability for price to continue bearish. But there are ways to skew this probability in our favor. Now listen to me very carefully : do not apply this from tomorrow. You have to watch it happen for a few months before you get confident enough to execute on this.

Both trades explained in detail with Video breakdown in "Trade Talk".

Congrats to everyone who caught the Gold sells in Pre London. This is what you get as a member of MFU.

Impulse entries + Volume session = Profits.

Learn to recognize patterns. A chart pattern accordingly to popular belief is NOT the head and shoulders, or tea cup or anything like that. Of course that's what we have been thought from the start. But once you start to understand the candles and times of volume when charts move, you begin to understand the delicate ways the candles actually form.

This impulse entry patterns is the most powerful one with times of volume. This can indicate incoming volume and also the direction. A mistake traders will make is, executing whenever they see the pattern. In reality you have to watch it happen multiple times before you can even begin to execute on it.
