🧊 Locked Position in Trading: Not a Strategy — a Trap! ⠀ Many beginners, facing losses, reach for a so-called “lifeline” — the lock. They open a buy trade, the market drops — they open a sell. Now they think the drawdown is “frozen” and they can just wait it out safely. ⠀ But the truth is, a lock isn’t protection — it’s just a way to freeze your loss and speed up your account drain. ⠀ ❓ What is a lock? ⠀ It’s when a trader holds two opposing positions on the same instrument: — Bought EURUSD expecting it to rise. — Price fell — so they opened a sell. ⠀ Now both trades are floating. The loss isn't closed — it's just postponed. ⠀ 🕸 Why a lock is a trap: ⠀ 1️⃣ The drawdown is still there. A lock doesn’t fix anything — it just pauses the pain. The loss still weighs on you — financially and mentally. ⠀ 2️⃣ Fees eat up your balance. Swaps, spreads, the cost of maintaining two positions — even in a flat market, your balance drops daily. ⠀ 3️⃣ Getting out is a guessing game. To exit a lock profitably, you have to perfectly predict the market’s next move. But if you could do that — you wouldn’t be in a lock in the first place. ⠀ 🔒 The real problem isn’t the trade. It’s the mindset. ⠀ A lock is an attempt to avoid taking responsibility. Instead of closing the loss and reassessing, traders just let the positions hang — indefinitely. ⠀ The result? - Loss remains open - Capital is frozen - Emotional pressure builds ⠀ ❗️ Remember this! A lock isn’t a strategy — it’s a trap for those afraid to admit they were wrong.
“Small losses aren’t dangerous. Not stopping is.” ⠀ 👀 Stay tuned — we talk trading without illusions or sugar-coating.
📈 The global stock index has hit a new record high!

"It’s not whether you’re right or wrong that’s important, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong." — George Soros
🟢 Support is a price level where the market tends to stop falling and bounce back up. This happens because buyers become active — either entering new long positions or covering shorts. It’s a zone where demand exceeds supply.
🔴 Resistance is the opposite — a level where price struggles to move higher. Sellers step in, taking profits or opening shorts. Supply overpowers demand, causing price to stall or reverse.
📝 These levels aren’t precise numbers — they’re zones, and the more times price reacts to them, the more significant they become. You’ll often see them near swing highs and lows, consolidation areas, or psychological round numbers.
🔥What makes S/R useful? 🟠 Easy to spot on any chart 🟠 Help define entry, stop loss, and take profit 🟠 Work well with patterns, indicators, and volume analysis 🟠 Form the backbone of price action trading
💸 Pro Tip (ICT Style):
🟢Don’t just look at who’s buying or selling—look at where smart money hunts liquidity. Support and resistance aren’t walls—they’re liquidity pools.
🧲 Professional traders track equal highs/lows and previous day/session highs & lows as magnets for stop raids. That "support break" you're watching? Might just be a liquidity grab before a reversal.
💵 The US dollar is showing weakness again. The price has fallen to the support level of 98.70. If the asset manages to break through this resistance zone, the decline will continue to the level of 97.70. However, if the price does not break through the support zone, growth will resume to the resistance level of 99.40.
👉🗽🕛 The price tested the downward local level. If the asset can break through the resistance level 5935, the growth will continue to 6145. However, if the price cannot break through the resistance level, a decline to 5800 will begin.
