How To Avoid The Market Makers Stop Hunt Movement As part of the daily movement in the forex market is the stop hunting done by the market makers. They don't mean to hunt the normal and small trader at all, they are targeting the big investors and hedge funds you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. As shown in No.1 this huge wick is an obvious stop hunt movement in this case the market makers are hunting the ones entered in the middle or at the end of the uptrend. Lesson learned here "NEVER ENTER A TRADE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TREND ALWAYS WAIT FOR A RE-TRACEMENT" In NO.2 after the price gave a good bearish signal ( hanging man candlestick ) it made a a shooting star candle with huge wick to hunt the stop losses. in this case lesson learned here " WHEN YOU ENTER A TRADE WITH PRICE ACTION MAKE SURE TO PUT YOUR STOP LOSS ABOVE/BELOW IT WITH AT LEAST 20 - 30 PIPS" In NO.3 when you trade you will see this low (blue line) broken so you would assume that it will continue to the downside and after you enter a sell trade NO.3 will occur. Lesson learned here is "DON'T ENTER AT THE END OF A SMALL TREND AND USE A GOOD BREAK SIGNAL" And a last tip " TRY TO THINK AS A MARKET MAKER AND ANTICIPATE THE AREAS THEY WOULD HIT AND PUT YOUR STOP LOSS ABOVE/BELOW IT BY 20-30 PIP"

Bulls loaded, Weakhands out & long trades filled!After a couple day's, my long orders are finally filled! We saw the pullback as expected towards the placed orders! This could be a higher low followed by a higher high. Price hunted some low's and landed (so far) in our entry zone. For now, sit back, relax & let the market do it's thing. Side note: I placed extra take profit for this trade around ~$82.000. Thank you for checking in! Do you have tips or other comments? Tell me please! I'm open for feedback!

USDCAD, Short, 1:6 + available.Good morning ladies & gents, I'm looking to short USDCAD today. After price traded up to a D1 Bearish Orderblock, we saw a rejection and a market structure breakdown. Today price has come back to retest the H1 Bearish Orderblock after that big drop yesterday to induce sell stops, price has come up to raid the stop losses of any retail sellers. Looking for a continuation short from this point Initial target is seen below for a RR of 1:6. Good luck - AmplaFX

STOP HUNT ALERT! Chart Awareness & EURUSD | 1.2020 is a hotspotI said two weeks ago we may get a trap move the first week of March. Keep in mind it is NFP this week as well. 1.2020 has been such an active spot over the last 30-60 days for EURUSD. Check my prior posts. At the moment I don't have a bias on EURUSD and I will most likely be sitting out today, I want to see more behavior from price. If I had to choose a side I am still bullish until 1.1980 breaks. I feel like what the market is presenting right now is a great opportunity to practice chart awareness. You'll see that we had a completed head & shoulders last week, it broke out, and quickly reversed. I think we are going to make a run for these trader's sl's. The pattern was very obvious so many traders were eager to go long. NOTE: These stop losses would be sell orders, since the breakout traders were long. If we hit these stop losses by Tuesday we will have a double top pattern forming, this will trigger more traders short...but don't forget NFP is around the corner. I think this could be a great opportunity for a market maker to buy up orders at a discounted price. The double top trades would also be SELL ORDERS I don't have enough money to move the market, so just because I think this is a good chance to buy, doesn't mean it is, I need to see the actual market markets get involved, I only attempt to mimic them. 1.1980-1.2020 is a buy zone I'm watching. IMPORTANT NOTE: February also broke Jan's low but failed to close below it on the monthly.

Major correction coming soon for Bitcoin?We see that Bitcoin is trading in a range since ~ 8 January. What is this chart showing? - There was a shift in Market Structure at the 10th off January - After this shift we saw the Lower-Low - I see Equal high's, those should get hunted (imo) (My) Conclusion: I placed my short order at 50% of the orderblock (blue). I think this could be a major turning point for Bitcoin. Price could easy visit $25000 region (FVG). Price could also drop lower to test broken levels that are (STILL!) untested. Thank you for checking my analysis! Do you have tips or other comments? Tell me please! I'm open for feedback!
