El Salvador Adopts Bitcoin - Proof-of-Work vs Proof-of-StakeI've run both mining rigs and am currently running a ETH2 validation node, just because I was curious as to how it was going to work. Here's a side by side comparison between Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake based on my experience.
Also El Salvador adopts Bitcoin as its reserve currency. A big day for BTC!

HOW TO: Trading the WallStreetBets Stonks with Cascading StopsHadn't seen any videos of anyone doing something as silly as this (which of course fits into the WSB philosophy) so thought I'd make a video of it and share it in case it amused or inspired anyone else.
Just something I have been having a bit of fun with over the last couple of weeks.
You could do this with any broker, but I REALLY like the simplicity of doing this all within TradingView and using TradeStation as the integrated brokerage free broker.
Note: You would not do this if you were paying brokerage.
What I do is:
1. Create a list of WSB type stocks.
2. Watch in the pre-market to see which ones are getting the attention.
3. Try and buy as early in the move as your broker allows.
4. Add a stop loss a bit below your buy price - eg 5% or so. Nice and tight.
5. As the stock price moves up, start to break down your stop loss into lots of mini stops.
Idea is that as the stock moves up, you are moving your stops up, BUT rather than one big stop that gets your whole holding exited, you can place lots of smaller stops (even place some ahead of the price) so that as volatility happens you auto exit some of your position hopefully taking profit along the way.
Rinse and repeat.
Definitely NOT trading advice. As before, it really is a silly idea, but hey its also a bit of fun for now and seems to work reasonably well for these kinds of stocks that spike big in one day and then start to equally quickly pull back.
Might be better to simply buy and hold them, but you never know when they will inevitably come crashing down, and more so which one is going to be the focus of the day.

Bitcoin (BTC) • Consolidation while Alts have their momentBitcoin is in a very difficult position at the moment.
Low volumes, low volatility, books look like accumulation but keep flipping liquidity pressure up and down every 4-8h or so.

Is that Dollar surprise still coming?A dollar surprise can still hit. There is a last line of defence for the Dollar.
Price has come into a structure area, either a double-bottom or triple bottom, and the 3D ATR line is just below price.
Some say that the US Dollar is bound to crash. That's not necessarily true. Read up on 'Dollar Smile Theory'.

Stock To WatchThe Market longer term uptrend still intact, many growth names remain choppy. I try to pick the best of the best. These names have shown good relative strength and accumulation volume and most are in the growth sector. This may give good risk/reward entries on some of the best names. Some of these charts still need to confirm their price action. This video is my watchlist. Most of these names are at or near all time highs or multi year highs. There are 21 total stocks on this list. I add an additional 4 stocks that are on my potential short squeeze watch list. I also add 5 names that should be on everyone's longer term watchlist. Many of these have IPO'd in the last few years and still have a growth story ahead of them. Know your time frame and risk tolerance. Know your earnings dates! I go through these quickly so grab a pencil and paper and jot down the names that look interesting to you and then make the trade your own. Good Luck!

HOW TO: Find Sectors and Industries Breaking OutUsing the TradingView screener is a great way to find individual stocks that are breaking out, but how about looking for Sectors and Industries that are doing the same - breaking out - or even in a bubble.
TradingView allows us to do this very simply by BROWSING through Sectors and Industries and sorting them by performance. Super simple, super intuitive.
You can then sort stocks in the Industries you are interested in by their performance to see which ones are the market leaders in their particular industry and open and bookmark them for further analysis.
It's just a nice simple way to get a different view of what is happening in the market.

How To Trail Stop Loss Effectively | Capture All day's ActionMaximise your Day Trading Profits 5X | Apply this trade management system to hold trades all day without much effort
In this video I'm going to share with you a trade management idea which would allow you to trade and hold the trade from the start to the end of the day trading session.
The Chart I'm using is US30 / DOW30. The Time frame for day trading would be the five minute chart.
The idea is to make entries on the 5 minute chart and then use a few swings to add on.
This can become part of your Trade Plan and you can apply to any time frame or symbol of your choice. It's a great way to maximise your profits using nothing but the data provided by the market itself.
Price Action is surely The King!!! I bow....
Dogecoin (DOGE) • Possible correction levels before 1$ Doge saw significant rise in derivatives toward the 1.3B open interest. We now seeing the necessary reset on funding rates which are currently normalised towards the baseline but surprisingly not bearish. That lack of bearishness is exactly what makes it look bearish. There isn't enough fear.
We take a look through what i think to be decent support ranges and mention some significant gaps in the doge marktcap chart.

Stock To WatchThe Market has resumed its uptrend, but I still see growth names not fully participating. These names have shown good relative strength and accumulation volume and most are in the growth sector. This may give good risk/reward entries on some of the best names.

There are 27 total stocks on this list. I add an additional 7 stocks that are on my potential short squeeze watch list. Many of these have IPO'd in the last few years and still have a growth story ahead of them. Know your time frame and risk tolerance. Know your earnings dates!

EUR/JPY, USD/JPY and USD/CAD on watch for me today.EUR/JPY:
• If price pushes up to and ideally just above our rayline, then regardless of how it does so I'll be waiting for a convincing impulse back down followed by a tight flag and then I'll be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade.
USD/JPY:
• If price continues to correct between now and I'm awake to place the order then I'll be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of this tight one hour flag.
• If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade.
USD/CAD:
• If price breaks the upper descending trend line of our most recent piece of structure, it does so impulsively and in a convincing manner and a subsequent tight flag forms, then I'll be looking to get long with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If this setup doesn't present itself then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place this trade.
