Hi all need some help here with an explanation on the order block here on this chart for Walmart. As you can see it shows a bearish Order block of 25% with a volume of 1.02M. But How come the green is showing to be more stronger compared to the red on the order block while this is a bearish order block? Also that 1.02M means overall volume? @old crow @median gust @sour gale

I have been a customer of Lux Algo for a couple of years now and honestly haven't done very much with the tools. In fact, I have only traded demo on forex until now. something happened however when I watched these live streams over the last few days and things just started to click. Anyway, Micky has been been an absolute inspiration and I can officially say that today I made my very first live trade based on Micky's tutorial and I am up $722. This is only the beginning.

Any recommendations for Lux setups for swing trading, with 2hr, 4hr , or daily time frames? I will not be able to be at the keyboard in a consistent way during the day trading hours, so trying to fit a style to that. I'm currently looking at Lux Premium Price Action Concepts and the Lux oscillator trying to find some consistent confluence I can place trades based off of. Open to thoughts via the lux tools that work with these higher timeframes to help me see a setup. Something to get me some footing to build from. (There's a lot of good tools here, and I think I've got myself in information overload - lol)

OK okay
Back to basics

  • LuxAlgo Candle Coloring Confirmation Simple

  • No Signals enabled
    We are just focusing on the Candle Coloring and basing our entries in the direction of the trend.

old crow
# limpid flax guys i have question in layout when I turn off autopilot sensitivity and adjust...

Im not sure if I am understanding properly, but if you turn off the Auto Pilot, you can manually adjust the Signal Sensitivity to your style, which you will have to play around with, on different asset and TF's, or you can use the Dashboard Optimal Sensitivity value to be inputted into the Signal Sensitivity. https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/dashboard

The dashboard displays the most relevant metrics from within our premium features. This feature is extremely useful to easily obtain pertinent information regarding the market and can be used in confluence.md with the LuxAlgo Premium indicators.

# old crow I hear the AUD pairs are good for it?

I loved AUDCAD before for sure. I'm more looking for Asia first half. I sleep about 2 hours before Asia ends. But forex London guys love to trade search and destroy set ups to capture all Asia liquidity from Asia during London, so I'm sure that's what they active for

#

I do similar for new York taking all of London, depending on the pair it works for new York, or London, but never Asia lol

Asia just doesn't got the power to do that it seems even on Asia pairs

With a bare chart, this is what we have now

Lets over a trend tool, such as Neo Cloud

So after a choch, we would like to see a pullback, right? in a perfect world. Doesnt always happen though.

# devout sphinx oh, i thought it's something automated thnx

I do this manually. I know @naive blade is stressing on using AIO indicator which is ok to use. But if you want to be a successful trader, I would recommend to use a blank chart, and mark key level (POI) on your chart, and compare with the in-built indicator to see how you did. In this way it will help you to improve your trading skill in long run, and thought process. It's up to you to choose which way to go.

Another recommendation for a new trader. Stay away from Twitter or Social Media. It will make your trading horrible. Sometimes it helps, but most of the time it's a distraction. Pay attention to Price action concept using Lux Algo Indicator, Use @old crow OB concept, it will change your trading career.

  • We see the actual price action and market structure of traditional candlesticks, while we are aware of the LuxAlgo Candle Coloring Trend

LuxAlgo full videos on YT go over features of PAC. With this toolkit, we are able to create a template to trade most SMC and ICT concepts on our instrument of choice.

Correct, but sometimes, the TV hollows arenโ€™t always the same I donโ€™t know why but its just something ive noticed

Same open high low close

Really, itโ€™s always accurate for me

#

Restart refresh TV

deep trout
#

Really? Itโ€™s not my first day on TV

gritty kite
#

@deep trout the candles look the same to me irrespective of hollow or regular. But I am curious to know why it might be different

#

I might be missing something

deep trout
#

So i use regular candles, and then I hollow them out with opacity

deep trout
#

Not always

#

Sometimes

#

You guys do you though

gritty kite
#

Fair enough. I will give it a go

#

When you say, the hollow candles are not always accurate, do you mean as it open/ close price?

deep trout
#

Open close wicks

gritty kite
#

ok

#

I will give it a go.

#

It's all interesting stuff

deep trout
#

Iโ€™ve only noticed a few times, but for me a few cents could be the difference in when I get in or not

old crow
#

Your probably thinking about the visual effect of looking at the hollow with the borders on. It appears to be thinker border thereby giving you a tick higher or lower in visual price point

#

Mind tricks. Hollow candles forces your mind to focus on the borders and appears to be thicker, but in reality, itโ€™s not. Place your TV cursor on the bar to view the candle data of open close high and low. Same

deep trout
#

Ok

#

Im gunna use regular with opacity down to make them hollow

deep trout
#

But if there are some OBโ€™s ChoCh or BOS already on the chart you can use those on higher TF

#

I usually run 4hr 1hr and 30m PAC on my 1 or 3m chart

sharp pendant
#

Hey, I think I know the answer to this but Iโ€™m gonna ask anyway. Is there a way in TV to search for stocks / crypto based on their current PAC structure?

#

For example, I want to know all stocks that are currently in their weekly Bullish BOS. Iโ€™m guessing there isnโ€™t a filter for that anywhere.

๐Ÿค” Remember the NVDA chart I posted earlier? I mentioned there are NO OB's or any levels to the upside, as NVDA has never been at these levels in their existence. BUT, I wanted to correct my self. We do have ONE level, now that I think about it, it gave us the most recent swing high, the Premium/Discount levels, which are the same as the PAC "Strong Weak H/L." Take a look, now if and when, price has completed this pull back, with a continuation to the upside, this "Strong High" is something to take notice.

๐Ÿ“Œ GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

  • Careful Today
  • Jackson Hole today ๐Ÿ“Œ
  • FYI tidbit, last years Jackson Hole was the pivoting point for most economies
#

๐Ÿ“Œ Every pre NY session, I scan the 4H PAC on most major instruments.
In general, what I see from these charts is, DXY is bullish, and the correlation with the other instruments is holding true. Maybe not bar for bar, or tick for tick, and maybe not day for day. But in general, when we zoom out, the correlation or inverse correlation is there. Just a general feel for me to be aware of.

#

๐Ÿ“Œ Next I zoom in a bit with my Signals & Overlays template to see if there are any pending set-ups visually. Not to actually take, but to visually have in my mind to watch certain instruments for potentials, for the rest of the day.

#

As an EXAMPLE ONLY, and IM NOT TAKING ANY TRADES TODAY.
IF I were to zero in on UJ.
I will drop the TF down

This is ONE of TWO paths that I want to see UJ take for a short position.
If there is a short signal in premium 15m zone, while 1H still located in Premium zone, then this is a possibility

#

There is also the other Path for a long for UJ I would draw out in my head.
I will always have TWO Paths drawn out or keep in my mind.
For me, there is ONLY two paths for price to go, I will draw out theses Paths (set-ups), if they happen, they happen, if not, I move on and forget about it.
I dont force a trade, I dont NEED to trade everyday if its not there.

HI, was wondering I see a majority of you guys trade forex or other instrument's. I barely understand traditional stocks, my question and what has been my problem is finding stocks that have potential for a swing using TV screener. I looked into setting and messed around with it based on some things I have seen. Question, any stock screeners that are better at that then TV? I am sure its just me, but figure I would ask. Thanks for any advise.
