I wish I would of known these 3 things before I started
I went from losing $1,000โs day trading just by following this steps ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป and ๐น๐ถ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ to enter and exit trades Here is how to find and read them ๐
1. ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ First we need to understand and identify the three market structures 1. Up trend 2. Down trend 3. Consolidation/Range/Sideways
2. ๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ ๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ Uptrends - Are identified by Higher highs and higher lows Downtrends - Are identified by Lower high and Lower lows Sideways - Is identified by the lows and highs almost if not equal forming a box 3. ๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐ง๐ข ๐จ๐ฆ๐ MACRO TRENDS - DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY MICRO TRENDS - 4HR 1HR 30Min 15Min 5Min Micro trends will help you identify a intraday trend for good entries and exits Macro trends will help you identify the overall trend to keep you in the trade loop ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ง. Donโt get stuck on the smaller timeframes like the 5 min One thing that has helped me find liquidity, not panic sell and swing trades is looking at the higher timeframes Always zoom out and look at the bigger picture and macro trends 4. ๐๐ข๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ Now that we have identified how to find trends letโs look at how to trade them We have two concepts to know BOS - Break of Structure CHOCH - Change of Character
๐๐ข๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ง. BOS - it means the break of a lower low in the case of a bearish trend, while during the bullish trend, it means the break of a higher high. CHOCH - Break of lower high or higher low: after the break of structure, the price will reverse to change the trend. Then it will break the recent LHs or HLs. In the case of a bullish trend, the price will break the higher lows, while during a bearish trend, the price will break the lower highs. Trend change: after the above steps, the price will change its trend. This is known as a ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ in the market. For example, if the last character of the market was bullish, then it has been changed to bearish.
5. ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ Here is an example of the BOS and CHOCH pattern. After a series of bearish trend (LL LH), the price breaks the lower low into a Higher high. This signifies a BOS into a CHOCH which should give a trend reversal. 6. ๐๐ข๐ช ๐ง๐ข ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ค๐จ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐ง๐ข ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ง๐ฅ๐๐๐ Enter a trade: When a Choch pattern forms, mark a supply/demand zone based on the recent trend. Wait for the price to retrace to the zone and then enter trade in the direction of the trend reversal. Add the stop loss level: Put the stop loss a few points below the demand zone. If it breaks below it would invalidate the trade since it creates a Lower low Take profit: Exit the trade when a counter-trend choch pattern forms on the chart again.
7. ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ช๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ - Find trends - Understand Price action and Market Structure - Find liquidity to take trades - Timeframes to use - BOS vs CHOCH
