Chasing Intraday = LossesLooked for a bounce intraday as the Dow, Russell 2000, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 500 came into their respective support levels. Got a good entry on 4 contracts and ended up stopping myself out basically flat. The market then started moving without me --- I "revenge traded", chased it, and immediately stopped myself out for a $25 loss after realizing I had no plan for the position and should have never been in it in the first place. Learned that one minute charts should only be used to help in execution and not for idea generation. When I get too granular that's where I get myself into trouble. Need to remember the bigger picture and not allow myself to be swayed by every tick. Down ~$200 (~1.33%) for the day after four trades. Taking the rest of the session off and back at globex open to see if any opportunities develop in the overnight session.

Framing Your Charts with Sensible Support & Resistance ZonesIn this quick Video Tutorial I discuss a simple and repeatable method to frame your charts with Support & Resistance Zones. This particular method holds for Futures and Forex Day Traders. This is an easy but critical skill for all traders to stop you from selling into support and buying into resistance. Later in the video I use an example of a trade setup between these zones and discuss Risk to Reward or as I like to call it "Fresh Air"

Stocks To Watch This WeekThe Bull Market is strong, the end of 2020 saw many growth names pull in or consolidate which gives a better reward to risk entry. This video is my watchlist. Most of these names are at or near all time highs or multi year highs. There are 34 total stocks on this 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, grab a pencil and paper and jot down the names that look interesting to you and then make the trade your own. Good Luck!

Using the new SignPost ToolI love the new Signpost tool that was released this week... i was all set to put in a feature suggestion when I realized I could already do it: make the signpost go DOWN as well as up! I am a stickler for documenting your trades - EVERY single trade: the winners but ESPECIALLY the losers - so you can learn, reinforce, and EMBED your trading system into your subconscious. (See link to a previous article on that very subject below!) Hope you enjoy this video... let me know what you think! Trade well... -Anthony

BITCOIN: What's driving it? Is 30,000 in sight?In this video I show my theory on what's probably happening with BTCUSD. It appears that Bitcoin is being used to hedge against the US Dollar crashing. $22,000 is certain in sight and who knows it could get to $30,000 sooner than anyone might imagine. I still think that BTC is too volatile for my liking and therefore I've stayed out. I've been happy to avoid FOMO. I've lost nothing. I think that many will profit from a possible further charge north. But there is also still a risk that it BTC could reverse significantly. Best wishes for the Christmas period 🎅and have a Happy Prosperous New Year. 🥂🎁

How to create chart art, infographics, and custom visualsThere are two things you have to master to create the best chart art: 1. The drawing tools available to you 2. Your chart settings In this video, we show you how to create a blank canvas for chart art, infographics, and custom visuals. The first step to getting started is understanding how you can turn your chart into a blank canvas. Open your chart settings to get started. In your chart settings you can control the look and feel of your chart including the ability to hide everything, even the price line, and draw on an open canvas. You can also control the background, scales, and color of the price line to create something totally unique to you. The simplest way to create a blank canvas is to uncheck each box in the chart settings and adjust the background color of the chart including the vertical and horizontal grid lines. Once you've created your blank canvas, you have the freedom to create and draw anything you want. You can use this canvas to make flow diagrams, pictures, and more. It's really up to you and your level of creativity. Here are some recent examples that convey interesting educational lessons or trading concepts: How to manage risk What is growth investing How to think about the long term The trader's journey The final step to creating the best chart art and custom visuals, is to make sure you master your drawing tools, which are located on the left-side of your chart. You can use them to draw anything that comes to mind. It could be a flow chart, a cartoon or even a picture. You will want to make make the brush tool your best friend. It's how you draw freely across your chart as if you were holding a pen or a paint brush in your hand. We hope this video tutorial helps you get started and we look forward to seeing the work you create. Please leave any questions or comments below. In addition you can ask for product features or product requests and we will share them with the team.

How to utilize Multi-time frame analysis in your trading Hello everyone: In this educational video, I will discuss how I utilize multi-time analysis in my trading. -What multi-time frame analysis does is to help us to get more clarity on what the overall market is doing from a top down approach. -Analysis should always start on the higher time frames such as Monthly/Weekly/Daily. -Then, drop down to the lower time frames such as 4H/1H,30/15/5 Min to confirm the HTF move and look for possible entries. Price action and structures work inter-related with multi-time frame analysis. -In a HTF impulsive phrase, there will be many LTF impulses and corrections to push the price up/down. -In a HTF correctional phrase, there will also be LTF impulses and corrections, but within the larger HTF correction. The key to multi-time frame analysis is to properly identify the next HTF impulsive phrase, and capitalize it by entering on the LTF price action. This allows you to maximize your R:R greatly. In addition, combining multi-time frame analysis with price action will also give you clues on where the price is likely to go, hence calculating your targets and anticipating the movement from the market. As always any questions or feedback please let me know :) Thank you

Gold Commodity Markets11.23.20 I wanted to finish up on my GOLD review from this weekend. The main point that I wanted to make about gold is that there are different trades for different types of traders in that area, and while you may understand how markets like this can appeal to both buyers and sellers in a fairly narrow range, it doesn't mean that it will be your kind of a trait because of your rules. In my own trading, I had to make a distinction between knowing how to read the market, and what markets are suitable to trade regardless of how I read the market. At some point you have to decide what type of trading is most suitable for your personality, and your capabilities. Trading is a business and you want to stay in business, and you want to like your business, and you wanted to be dependable. It doesn't make sense to trade your business as a lotto ticket. Some businesses require a little less time, and this is important because the determination of what kind of a trader you want to be changes many aspects of your trading including the amount of time that you will have to be watching your trading screen. I ran through some commodity markets that I think will be useful to my students who are far enough along that they may benefit by looking at some commodity markets. There are many reasons for these markets to move higher and lower, The probability of inflationary influences on the markets is very high, and I suspect that you'll see some great trading agricultural markets as well as other commodities markets moving higher as inflation becomes more apparent.

Backtesting Part 2: Testing Your Trading System in 3 Easy StepsIn my earlier article, " Proving Your Trading System with Backtesting ", I outlined the HOWs and WHYs of backtesting. Does your trading system work under all conditions? Under what conditions might it *not* work? Can you remove those instances from your plan? Under what conditions might you *improve* your win rate? In another article, " The Unexamined Trader ", Just as an unexamined life is not worth living, the unexamined trader should not be trading a system that has not been tested under every market condition (and I mean TORTURE tested under HUNDREDS of trades). This video will show you HOW you can backtest your own system over time, determine its results, and refine it until it is bulletproof (or marketproof!). All you need is a Trading System, a Spreadsheet, and a great trading platform (ahem, like TradingView) :-) It will take some time and effort, but like everything else in life, if you don't put in the work, you won't get the results. And if you put in the work, you won't have to put a DIME of your precious capital into the market until you are CONFIDENT that your system will multiply that money in your account rather than feed the market monster. I hope you enjoy the video... but more importantly I hope it will help you become a better trader. If this was beneficial to you please feel free to leave a like, a follow, or a comment... I'd love to hear from you and stay in touch as we all move forward in our trading journeys! Trade hard, and trade well! -Anthony

How to secure your account and enable two-factor authenticationThe TradingView team is constantly working to ensure your account is secure and well-protected. In this video, we share some tips and tricks for keeping your account as secure as possible. Below, we've also included five things you can do right now to secure your account: 1. Set up two-factor authentication! This is a highly effective way to protect your account because it adds another layer of security to your account. We recommend that you enable 2-factor authentication in your profile settings right now. 2. Do not use one password for all sites and applications. If you do this, a breach of security on one site could mean a breach for all of the sites and applications you use. 3. Use strong passwords. Your password should be difficult to guess. We recommend using a randomly generated password with a length of 12 characters and more. 4. Use the official TradingView app. It's in the Google Play Store for Android and App Store for iOS. 5. Avoid using third-party services. Never enter your TradingView account login credentials anywhere else. Thanks for reading and we hope this tutorial helped. You can leave questions or comments below. Our team will do their best to support you as soon as possible.
