EURGBP: Gap is Going to Be Filled! 🇪🇺🇬🇧 I see a nice gap up opening on EURGBP. After a strong up movement, the pair finally leaves strong bearish clues. I see a bearish breakout of a neckline of a head & shoulders pattern on an hourly time frame after a test of a key intraday resistance. It looks to me that the price is going to drop and fill the gap. Goals: 0.8582 / 0.8567 ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

Gold continues bullish runAccording to Goldman Sachs, China actually purchased a whooping 50 tonnes of Gold in February , or 10 times more than officially reported. They also increased their gold holding by 5 tonnes in March. In April current reports says that they also sold some seized bitcoin via offshore exchanges to accumulate more gold. Gold is also preferred over bitcoin as a safe haven asset in times of war. Which means that the demand for gold continues to increase as long as warring countries does not resolve their conflict. Here is my intra-day long setup. I'm taking a buy as soon as price retest that broken support @ 3395 targeting take profit @ 3425 for a 1:3 risk-reward.

Another remarkable leap by Nifty. Channel top approaching. Nifty gained some serious ground again today closing 273.9 points up from previous close. The zone between 24202 and 24479 is the zone which stand between full blown Bull rally and some consolidation. The regressing parallel channel which started after Nifty made a high 26277 can be overcome if we get a closing above 24366. Immediate resistance is near 24202 before we reach there. Once we get a weekly closing above 24479 Bulls will take total control of the market. In such a scenario the Nifty can find resistance near 24830 before it can regain 25K levels. If Nifty fails to conquer 24202, 24366 or 24479 then the supports will be near 23786. Bears can come back in picture if we get a closing above 23786. In such a scenario Mother and Father lines of hourly chart will play the supporting role at 23411 and 23101. Again near 23101 in addition to the Father line there is also Mid-Channel support thus this level should be considered a major support zone. Since RSI of hourly chart is above 80 there is a chance of slight correction and consolidation which should also be looked at while taking fresh positions. RSI above 80 indicates that the positions might be just slightly be in the overbought zone. Disclaimer: The above information is provided for educational purpose, analysis and paper trading only.

“Does size matter?” when it comes to backtesting?It’s the kind of question that gets a few smirks, sure. But when it comes to backtesting trading strategies, it’s not a joke, it’s the difference between confidence and false hope. Let’s get real for a minute: the size of your candles absolutely matters. What you don’t see can hurt you Most people start testing on bigger timeframes. It’s faster, easier on the eyes, and the results look clean. But clean doesn’t mean correct. Larger candles blur the details. That one nice-looking 4-hour candle? Inside, price could’ve spiked, reversed, chopped around, or triggered your stop before closing where it did. You’d never know. And that’s the problem. You might think your entry worked beautifully… but only because the data smoothed out everything that actually happened. A backtest should feel like a real trade Trading isn't just about the final price. It’s about what price does to get there. That messy movement inside the candle? That’s where most trades are made or broken. If your strategy is even remotely reactive, waiting for structure, confirmation, retests, or anything time-sensitive, you need to see what price did between the open and close. And the only way to see that? Use smaller candles. Smaller data, clearer picture 1-minute candles might look overwhelming at first, but they give you something the higher timeframes just can’t: behavior. Not just outcomes. Not just win/loss stats. But the actual shape of the move, the hesitation, the fakeouts, the precise moment when the trade made sense—or didn’t. And once you start testing with that level of detail, your strategy either earns your trust… or shows its cracks. So how small should you go? There’s no one-size-fits-all here. But as a general rule: if your idea relies on precision, go small. Test it on 1-minute or 5-minute charts, even if you plan to execute on higher timeframes. You’ll quickly see if the entry makes sense, or if you’ve been relying on candle-close hindsight. Yes, it takes longer. Yes, you’ll stare at noisy charts for hours. But your strategy will thank you. Watch out for “too good to be true” One last thing, if your backtest results look flawless on 1h or 4h candles, pause. That’s often a sign that you’re testing a story, not a strategy. Zoom in. See what actually happens. You might be surprised at how different the same trade looks when you’re not glossing over the details. TL;DR: In backtesting, size absolutely matters. Smaller candles reveal real behavior. Bigger ones hide the truth. So if you care about how your strategy actually performs not just how it looks. go smaller. Your backtesting will get sharper, and your confidence? Way more earned.

EURUSD - Sometimes It's Best To Let The Market Come To YouWhenever you feel yourself chasing price action, that's the sign and signature that your not that disciplined and you lack patience. Especially in low resistance conditions that we are seeing with EURUSD, you do not want to make a mistake or you will get your face ripped off! Gun to my head, I would want to see 1.16165 delivered and see the daily SIBI become a balanced price range but I am also cautious about the potential of a retracment back down into the 3-month SIBI....

Nasdaq (NQM) - Best Time To Buy Nasdaq?After a successful run from September 2022, making more than 110% up to the beginning stages of 2025, Nasdaq has successfully made holders over the past few years richer than those who decided to invest in a random meme coin and what we have been seeing over the past months is a decline close to 30% which is miniscule in the grand scheme of the bull trend. Could the market continue to trade lower? Possibly but if you learn the skills necessary to hedge your portfolio by shorting the market, its a win win scenario!
