What is to the moon
Here, I enter when the candles go red, I normally place my SL above the last order block, which is why I was wicked out on the liquidity grab, so I look for trend catcher going green to red, purple on Oscillator, on the 15m it was definitely looking to short as well as trend tracer going red.
Sorry, to also explain, when I see the purple candles, I wait to see how it reacts to the order block that it's in.
your gains
Slowly
So in this case, if breaks the order block up, it's false, but if it's down whilst red it's true and it's bearish.
Ive seen people do like 10% weeks on a 50k account to bag up.. but i only take like 2-3 trades a week
I got anxiety i cant trade that much lol
when I saw the liquidity grab and it still close under both order blocks I knew opening the short again was valid.
Beautiful trade
The only thing I need to be more confident on is taking profits
As in, I take profits too early
Leave a runner
😂
hahaha
Thats my trailing strategy
Also, just analysing market structure etc will help
With Gold rising up so fast, look at all the FVG's
I only do that if im up 2% tho
it's definitely caused an imbalance
I need to work on that 😇
which at present is looking to be filled, that's why when the guy said to me 2050 on that day, I was like we'll see
I used to do that, learned from it when id take 80% partials, get taken out at breakeven ,then lose next trade at 1% loss
Now im down .2% overall even with 1 win 1 loss
Since i didnt trail stops
loool
XD
I got lost in the chat
Bumboclott
GBPUSD?
Ya man !
ok, I've actually been looking at that
to move from gold to GBPUSD
it looks the same as gold
lol
Just backtest how gu respects break and retests
U dont even have to mark up anything
Just use your hindsight
Take off lux real quick. Go to gu 4h chart and just look at all the pullbacks
Cant make it up. Respects it beautifully thats why i only trade this pair and other reasons i mentioned earlier
💍
I did those blocks without Lux
Exactly
but then when I turned it back on, it was almost verbatim
Do you trade the 8 hrs of London session or less than that?
My man i made $700 in 17 minutes yesterday and took my axx back to sleep
That is why i trade
8 hour is for 9-5 workers
hey hey don't knock us 9-5 workers
lol
I like my job
I'm an engineer for a fintech
Ahaha yeah i know... I meant, do you search for your setup in the 8 hrs of London session, or do you stop earlier?
I think I'd always do engineering lol
I like trading but I can't just make money and chill
I show up at 1:30 and look for setup
If i see one as soon as i get to my desk i take the trade
If not, i wait and check my phone every 15min to see how the candles are forming since i enter off 15min candle close
Or 30 min
I set alarm on my apple watch for every 30minutes until i place a trade
That forces me to be patient
Which is what, 30 min before London? I'm in Italy so different timezone, sorry 😁
1:30 EST
Am
Then every 15 or 30 minutes i check for pullback setups on lower timeframe to go with higher timeframe trend
I'm up 1 hour before London
btw @viscid shard I'm the same as well
I try to take max 1 - 3 trades a day
preferably 1
Hi all 
It's good tactic to not overtrade and manage the risk, nothing wrong with that
Yellow 🙂
I set it up like how I would actually trade and blew the account like 4 times
and then learned everytime
That's the first lesson I learned when I saw like 35 trades in 1 hour...
💀
In my opinion is about the price action in the end if you get that down your throat everything will eventually come
Oh, 💯 PA ftw
trading with the trend
etc
I used to think I was the oracle
knowing every reversal
loool
Everyone been there 😄
I'd be watching something go up and be like, time to short
and then it'd spike up more
and I'd be like ok, it's definitely going to short now
and then it'd go up more
then I'd be like ok let me buy
then it shorts
Remember bank levels and sup Res+ trend and you should be Gucci hehe
trust
looking forward to next week now the chat is popping
let's get some good gains next week
If kept things simpler it's much easier to see everything 🙂
💯
This upcoming week will be FIRE 😉
I've marked this month as a green, law of attraction baby 😝
Oh u like taking vacations to wick city
Trying keep it GBP based, but wanting to discover gold section :3
Sometimes xD
Yeah, I'm going to have next week
GU and GOLD
I don't like really trading US30, or US100
if I'm honest
I don't do those, I stick to 1-3pairs and that's me :3
wait how have you lot got different coloured macd's
who are you asking @oblique siren
srry mb should've made that clearer
you
since i don't like using the normal red and blue on the macd
forgot i could edit messages
ok cheers tho was wondering why yours was a different colour and i couldn't edit my colours thats all
thank you
no worries @oblique siren
@viscid shard where would be a good place to search and endoulge into funded accounts ? If you dont mind sharing would be great 😸
On it now much appreciated 🤍
Yessirr
I would send my propfirm but as i said commissions are a little high so dont even bother
My end goal is to be funded by all 4
Have 1.2mil in funded capital and use a trade copier
Trade copier so each trade is opened at same time on all platforms correct?
Sounds great the challenges :3
Doesn't everyone think that the "liquidity grabs" wicks that everyone is chatting about around 8:30am NY time, is actually alot of news release that came out at that time? Look at most pairs, they all had a violent wick at that exact time due to news release. So im on the side that says and believes the word "Liquidity grab" is a fancy word that means nothing and is just hog wash really
So when almost all pairs had that same violent wick at the exact time of major news release 8:30am NY, does not mean liquidity grab in my opinion, because all of these pairs cant possibly have the same resting orders, open orders, unbalanced areas etc at the exact same time. Think about it, it was major news release at 8:30am NY
Major news out of Canada and USA at 8:30am NY, and most if not all pairs experienced the high volume chop wicks. This was just news release action as always, nothing else, no other fancy word to make us look smart, just plain ole new release action. IMHO
Because when you're on a higher TF, you dont see these so-called "liquidity grabs" wicks. All you see are normal candle bars.
If you bring up a 1 minute charts, you will see alot of these so called "liquidity grab" wicks, and it doesnt mean there is actual liquidity everywhere on the 1 min, because it doesnt exist on higher TF's
Just trying to get a few of us here to not fall for these fancy words because they dont exist on other TF's - IMHO
Ill go back to my nap now
If you back test all the price action during ALL news, not just major impact, but all news out of major countries, and backtest your chart, you will see why price action reacted or formed a wick or whatever. Just plain old news volume orders coming in from all directions at that exact time.
haha
I was just about to post that
I also, realised you can filter the locations you want news for which is useful
Look at ALL the news, we need to be aware on ALL the news release, not just major releases
People tend to forget about news releases, and only think about it during FOMC because everyone chats about FOMC, but no one chats about the other million news releases during the week. Back test all your SL's when you get wicked out, and match them up to the news releases
Nice to see here, can also see by the strength of the signal bars the relevance of the news.
hmm
yeah
thanks @echo kiln as always
definitely correlation today which I had experience in with my first trade.
Yes, I un-check that so I can see ALL news
Now you understand why its not the fancy word "Liquidity grab"?
😁
I have these countries checked off
@viscid shard @tawny sandal I'm ready for the ICT cult to come at me 
how effective is using a 3 line strike candle for finding supply and demand?
for example
😭😭😭😭😭😂😂
3LS is a good pattern to watch out for. Depends on TF though, smaller TF’s gives you a millions 3LS everywhere though and don’t mean much @oblique siren
Id say play around with it to find that happy balance between TF and the amount of 3LS patterns that are plotted
going to do that now
@viscid shard sent you friend request
🤝
I have also sent to both of you
Can't see a request bro
Sorry, my bad. Sent now
easy trade +20pips 1:2
Perfect example of moving SL to BE and not taking profits
Got stopped out at entry price and then it shot up😭
what was your entry price?
Next time, will be a loss😂 it happens hahah
P.a.i.n
what broker would you guys recommend
blueberry markets
it has very good ratings on trustpilot
do you use them?
no, i use propfirm
what is the best propfirm?
mff💪
Shorted this🙏 to make up for earlier today, then I’m done😤🤣
Cap
Yo axx no damn well FTMO is god father of all prop firms
Why you lying to that man🙄
why is ftmo better
Mff has 30 day first pay out still right?

🥱
yeah whatever
🤣🤣🤣🤣
gotta join it
Yes idc i know i got e8 but i will 100% have an ftmo account
which size account you have
I only went with e8 first cause the no trading days and 8%. I have 50k taking 250k rn in profit to have there max 300k, then im going to buy swaggy c new prop firm 300k account
Then ill do ftmo
Swaggy c doing 85%
oof
Then 96%
Like🙃
And its swaggy c. He said hes putting his reputation on the line
So imma go with him first before ftmo
what is e8?
is it available in europe?
why
After being with them, commissions to high bro
what was ur usual spread
I enter a 10lot + trade and im already down 300+
Shxts so ass
Thats why i HAVE to manage risk in drawdown
If i risk 1% and let it hit full stop loss i loss like 1.3% total
Maybe more cause the dxmn commissions
hmm i see.. commissions sucks ass
Spreads alright like 3-4 average. Ive been seeing 0-2 spreads these couple days
Yes and im a scalper soo.. pain
My dude i took phase 1 and did 10% im almost at market price each trade i love ftmo
Didnt yo axx just tell buddy mff the best prop firm
🥱🥱🥱
it's not bad but not great either
They 4th place
Between them and the funded trader
Top 3 is ftmo, top tier and securethebag
I really want ftmo or top tier because they do trader interviews
I hope swaggy does that too but i want to be interviewed on my strat
Secure the bag isn’t big enough yet
Top tier can’t be trusted cause it’s owned by a insta guru… and he drives lambos —— which mean big red flag to me hahaha
Swaggy C
Cuebank has been in the game for 10 years
And hes an actual trader
Not just a business owner
Highly trusted
Buddy used to work at target, made over 10+ mil trading and now hes a ceo of his own prop firm
How can you not trust that
Same with swaggy c. They both said they have their reputation on the line.
Thats why swaggy is automatic top 3 for me.
I mean that sounds biased fam haha
Or it just sounds real lol
I choose swaggy c over top tier so im not really bias
I just know cuebanks storyline
I look at spread count,
broker they use,
equity or balance for max DD
Is it trailing // is it relative
Commission per lot size
Scaling accessibility
& finally price per plan (matters least)
Because you said he cant be trusted.. yes. Highly trusted. But id still choose ftmo before top tier
I can barely find any of this information, on secure the bag website
Hes using a regulated broker
Go to his youtube
He posted 2 videos on it
Edited amazingly too
But you feel me tho, I mean if they’re as legit as possibly can be the info would be easily accessible… once I have to start going deep into webs and forums to find that info it’s like shheeeeeesh
Do they even want me to really know?
I feel you. But i also know swaggy aint no BS😭 he explains mostly everything his prop firm will have. Watch the vids
Also forgot to add
“What style of trading is allowed”
++ Is there any lot size limitations or rules
++ is news trading allowed
Yeah I mean these are the 8 biggest and most valid points that every single firm should have on their main page…. But it’s not the case cause of the elephant in the room
Watch the 2 videos on his youtube
And come back and lmk
I cant send links in here
I wouldnt put him top 3 for no reason
Last 2 recent vids that say save forex
Ight bet
🤝
I shall c if my 8 points will be answered
Have you heard of FT+
Funded Trader Plus
Fr?
Like 1 guy went from taking 1 trade a day and he changed his style to 6 trades a day for some reason, but so what
But he made like 30k
You not thinking of FCFF
And they flagged him for suspicion
That’s weird af, I know someone with them and they run a 800k account
Didnt pay him out basically trying to say he used a bot
Nah
The funded trader on the other hand
With no “plus”
Good firm
4th or 5th place with My forex funds
30 minute video I’m just start my own firm
Technically 1h cause its 2 vids
😂😂😂😂😂
But as i said, worth the watch. Should answer all your questions.
Fam an hour to get questions answered… my guy trolling me
@past acorn
Start a firm that questions are answered on the main page
I’ll fund you 20k to say. Yes.
If you say no this will all just be a dream
😭😭😭
Mannn its one of those videos thats entertaining too bro like dxmn😂😂😂
Get your questions answered and have a good creative video to watch, hush😂
If you want to get straight to the point, watch pt 2
Pt 1 is basically him explaining why he came up with the idea etc
Pt 2 is the details
So i saved you some time
🙏 is that a bearish engulfing or not?
You acting awfully supportive like I get it bruh chill not watching that shit.. he saying N word and talking bout
“if you’re HIM you will get paid up to 90% profit split”
Like what . Bruh I thought this whole thing was to bring a better approach to the “failing prop firm industry”
he talm bout some other stuff… like I get it u trynna get clients that are young…
Those usually the less educated ones
simple! @past acorn what you say to my offer
You already the trading view most known face my guy 😆
Thats his personality
I dont like it either
It’s just too meme material for my preference
But im not bothered by it im just focused on the prop firm lol aint that deep
Strictly business no time for jokes with these firms
Alrighty

What firm do you use brother?
I was going to ask this soon. I actually never used a prop firm. Im in the USA and we cant trade most instruments like the rest of the world like, CFD's, crypto, indice's, commodities, and we need to look for overseas brokerages for that, but I didnt have the mood or time to figure out which were legit so I just traded futures with TOS and FX with Oanda. Now I may look into it more
Always traded with my own money, in a regulated USA brokerage....Im chicken sh*t with overseas brokerages
😹
On one hand, I like using the challenge fee's to trade in my cash account to further my learning. But I do get the advantages for you if you are one of the lucky ones that do pass these challenge's and trade by their rules consistently and profitable every month, but these traders are fe and far in between, you have to have that special "it" factor to learn and trade on their terms/rules, No so easy, I believe the odds of making it at a prop firm consistently are harder than actually making it as a day trader in general.
But one day, I will give it a go, for sure...and take my licks and try and try again
It’s all the same if you can do 30% growth on your capital in a month or 2 months then you can do 10% on a funded account in a mont IMHO
But you should check out The Funded Trader, they seem very disciplined and respectable with all their ways of doing business @echo kiln
OK yes, the numbers should be the same trading in prop firms and on your own cash acct, just be disciplined etc...but the fact remains, if one of these prop firms decide to run, nothing anyone can do. Unregulated. So I need to get over this and find a top firm that never had any BS with others.
MFF allows any form of trading at all like grid trading, martingale, hedging.. but they spread is a lil worse
On the other hand TFT has more rules on trading styles but very open when it comes to allowing profitable traders, better spreads better commissions
interesting
100% that’s why typically everyone sticks to those 3
FTMO
MFF
TFT
I’m thinking to go with TFT since they just announced they’ll be allowing crypto trading on live accounts + no commission on indices
what are their fees to pass?
Both are 8% target for phase 1
phase 2 is 5%
5% daily drawdown
& 10% max
At this point I will start claiming that I’m professional, who else can do this?
Not over risking went on the meanest losing streak
1% left to fail and made all the loss + profit target in 4 trades same day
Dang, you went for the home run on those last trades
are there time frames that i must reach these goals in order to pass etc?
Yeah first phase is 30 days second is 60
I guess this is not bad, this was a major concern for me, If I didnt want to trade a few days for various reasons, I didnt want to be forced to and make mistakes and getting rekt
lol that is fuct congrats dog
shorted this on gbpjpy
I'm currently doing a 200k challenge, if you can succeed with your own capital there's no reason you can't do it with there's. 1% risk is essential , you have to be disciplined so you don't blow the account. But it's based more on your win rate and your rr
good morning
Morning🫡
Morning fighters 🌅
Running @ 70 pips 😎
yeah markets quiet... nfp coming up but idk🤔
waiting for that tracer and cloud turn green
lol looks like it's not going to happen. looks like i'm ready for weekend
who made money this week? i personally gained 1.63%. 2 winning trades, 1 loss.
Good stuff my boy
caught this on EUR/USD
Im on the wait to the port for my cruise
yep same
I made one little mistake but stayed calm
I went to enter on retrace
good job @fresh sparrow
but I entered in the middle
also this on GBPJPY
but I just, waited till the loss was smaller instead of panicking, but I sold because I wanted a better position, from which I lost £34 but gained £130+
then added in the Trailing SL, @viscid shard
i skipped that short because 1hr trend still bullish
yeah
Take you out
just stopped me out just now
can you show an example of this
To me, the bearish block above had a higher percentage than bullish
Also, was struggling to break the trend tracer
I took your advice @viscid shard as well, I knew the news was coming but was just watching the sentiment throughout the day
for e.g. it wasn't breaking up
and we had a red strong sell
inside neo cloud and it is blue
ohhh
and support around now
hmm I think it depends what you're looking for
I was definitely scalping
I saw when it dropped, from my experience, it always retraces back to that position
but definetely it is bearish now because nfp numbers came in boosting usd
yeah yeah, I also saw it on smaller time frame like this
I think @viscid shard said you can enter in the FVG
but also, all conditions matched up, bearish order block above BOS, EQH before etc. but it's definitely a scalp
I've learned that sometimes I'm looking for scalps, and I'm treating them like swings
sometimes, just need to get in and out
Looks like the news respected all the technical analysis and made the push. Love those type of trades. Bangers
nfp tend to increase spreads so i was cautious
I see nothing but bearish structure then NFP melt. GG’s
what a crazy couple of days
Thats when you get in early
as i usually have only 10-20 pips stops, they could take me out quickly
Like 10 mins before and sit on your hands and pray💀
Take ya rass and get funded
You know what you doin stop procrastinating
bro
🥱
do you remember this?
Check your messages
Hope that changes your mind
Yes long time ago🙄
Im buying that soon as i get back bro
Smart
saved me from many false trades this week
so i decided to listen to my plan even once lol
Looking good 👍
What changes did you make to the original strat?
Hey @fresh sparrow can i ask you a question rq about your broker?
i'm with the same one i think, capital.com but i'm doing spread betting and i'm assuming you're on the cfd side, how are the fees taken out?
since spread betting is capital gains tax free
was thinking about changing once i've done my study time and learnt how to trade market structure instead of relying on indicators
same strategy, just checked the 15m time frame and 1hr for trend first..
I'll switch between HA and regular candles too
I also, try to trade as close to the order blocks as possible too! and I don't use autopilot
I also, time the trades better as in, why am I trading before the news...
Have the economic calendar up all the time in TV
@oblique siren what do you mean bro, I know Capital.com on CFD is commission free
I've never paid any fees unless I don't know about them lol
Checked all my trades too, don't see fee's on them, I think you only pay overnight fee, if you hold overnight
In terms of Tax, that's a different story but you can avoid paying tax if you just build your account up and take out at the threshold and then stick it into your ISA
so, for e.g. if the threshold is take 20K and pay 20% tax on 8K, which is £1600
that's pretty much what I do but I have a stable job as an engineer
@fresh sparrow are you based in the UK?
yessir
Those of us in the UK should be doing regular virtual meeting to learn from eachother
Time for you to get funded man 🔥
Are there so many catches in getting funded
I have just seen some videos on YT regarding it
What do you mean?
Coz u hv a good amount
you know what it is
I have a good salary, so it's more like supplemental
if I make an extra £500 a week for a year
Thats 26000
that's £26,000 and that's making £100 a day
lol
which is not an absurd target
I started with £2500
I trade the same amount
every time
lol
I have like 2700 dollars
yeah man
Trading in xauusd only
The thing is you have to be smart when you have smaller amounts imo
but then once you keep growing your account, you just do the same trades
but bigger equity
But only 1 problem, i earn for 9 days and gives back every thing on 10 th
You just need to be disciplined
for like one week
everyone, said to me when I started not to do it, and I lost so much money
but you already know what it is to lose money
so when you're in demo, you treat it real, like someone borrowed you the p
imo
you can go funded, if you want, my cousin is funded
@viscid shard funded
Old stuff 😏
You also, gotta calculate @sick crow within every trade how much it will take you in real time to make that money back as well
So if you have £2700, but it takes you three months to save £1000, then you don't have £2700
Yes
If you have £20K saved, and it takes you two months to saves £2500, then you have £2500
lol
as in you can risk shit
but until then, demo
literally, treat demo as in real life, take 1-4 trades a day max
Please tell more in detail
learn your craft
I am like not able to understand
people be learning their craft on the only money they have and say that it's learning fee's smh
what don't you understand?
Nice work.....dang, what a complete mind shift from a week ago, and look at your profits
Like you are saying to stop trading on real money and shift to demo
Yes, and whilst you're learning, your equity is getting bigger
Ok, I dunno what exness is.
Really
Thank you!
👀
👀
I'm joking
loool
🤣
Whenever demo is like we give you $10K I just reduce it what I can actually trade with
Otherwise, I start making wild trades
that's not even bad man
This is my real account from last 1 year
You should set some rules up for losses, that's what everyone here does
my rule is
say, my equity is 10,000
Thats very bad coz it doesn't include open positions
If I lose 5% of my equity, I will stop trading
I will go back to the drawing board, I'll do demo, then I'll come back. The only reason why I didn't up there was pride but I was just trying to be transparent as well because everyone was being so nice lol.
Depends where you are in your trading journey bro, if you're at the beginning, some people here say they've been doing it for 5 years
10 years
but you're always learning so it doesn't even matter how long you're doing it for, just that you're getting better with every trade imo.
Yes, you are right
Also, bro, just slow down. Sometimes, which I learned from @viscid shard is we force trades
You know one way to reduce losing money, is having a strategy
You know it feels bad to accept losses... Its like i am being wrong which i dont wanna accept
the market doesn't care if you feel bad
you're attributing feelings to something mechanical
the market doesn't go well, he's just lost £400, ah we feel bad
so you gotta remove your feelings, it's so key to this game
risk, is so important
I am trying very hard to bring discipline into my trading but keep failing
if you know, the trade here is 2K, with a £100 loss, or £200 win. you take it
you factor in the loss
Sometimes i just enter a trade with 1 mega lot just to take revenge from market
Yes... I am saying true
I say 2K, btw but I trade with leverage lol
I have done it
yeah, no mega lots for me
then the market just goes 😋
In trading, someone always has a bigger trade then you loool
Anyway, lets get back to forex chat
bro, easy way to manage risk is by factoring it in
But now I am trying to stop it
I'll give you an example
Yes please
disgusting spreads on a bank holiday. lesson learned, never trade bank hols
Yes... And gaps due to less volume
15m, you can see the downtrend forming and it's rejected the bearish order block above.
There's also that strong sell signal, which doesn't necessarily mean, to take the short, just to watch, also, I don't enter on purple candles.
Ok
We also, know there's news... so we don't necessarily take a trade unless we're 100% sure
also, it's either gonna spike down or up lol
This is 13:25, so I'm watching for the news rn on the economic calendar as well as forexfactory.
Note how the bearish order block has formed above now to test the bullish one below. This is deal because of where I like to put my SL's
Now this is 13:30
OMG
Straight to the next bullish order block
But how to predict regarding data or news
Are you sure even before that its going to fall
What if the data was opposite and it spike upside
just to explain, as well, I wouldn't always trade this, but it met all the conditions for which I normally make a trade so, was going to show you this
1:1 R/R
remember, this isn't a swing trade, this is a scalp lol
I always open trade, or set my buy limit to as close to the previous BOS
Ok... Getting it
We have strong sell, BOS before, bearish order blocks above, failure to break the order block above
Not fully but quite
oscillator is purple etc
but this is what I mean, this my strategy
lol
everyone else has their own
uk gang
I think at one minute it went like this
Don't watch the X, cos that wasn't there before lol
So that was the first profit you saw when I made like £17
I put TP's there just in case depending on how I see things going
but then I basically jumped back in up here on the 1m
because I was going with the trend
No problem... The main thing is about reading charts, position sizing, Good RR
How do you overcome the fear of losing
manage risk
you will lose some, but if you have a specific set of rules that 70% work out
75% work out
then you just know it's part of the game
just because you have 20 trades with 6 wrong it's not bad
Yeah... You are right
especially, if you're risking £100 per trade
dun kno
20 trades 14 correct = £1400 6 wrong = £600 walk away with £800 more than you had before lol...
So are there more entry and exit rules or you just follows market structure
but then, I think in Jav Strat said, it mentioned that how you build confidence
I read this often.
I think Jav Strat gave some good core principles.
There are so many opportunities, you just have to take 1 haha
Also, to your answer, I didn't know the news lol, I just watched, most of the time stuff that spikes up, or down, goes back to where it came from
Yes, thanks
if for e.g. it spiked down, then back up, then up more, I would've been stopped out but again, this is not recommended because sometimes SL's don't trigger etc. Again, this is just my risk on this trade, on Tuesday, I'll probably take a less risky trade
It is great
but agai, as I said cos I manage my risk
I literally sometimes put in SL, the amount instead of the percentage
I'll be like SL = £45.
or I mark it as close to the previous high in a short
but if my SL is ore than £50.. then I am nervous lol that's why the entry is the main key
Yes and as you refer.... We can stay out during high impact news during initial days or when we are in protection mode
yes
most of the time I do not trade news
lol
Also, trading 1/2 pairs is really healthy
like EURUSD now is back to where it was before the news
so it could be another short/buy
but no one's trading now lol
Also, if @viscid shard @echo kiln or the chat is quiet
I always don't trade
lol
Ok, will you please do me a favour
Perhaps you can see xauusd chart for long term and tell me is there any chance of reversal (downside)
In near future
I have a open position for sell at 1815 and 1820 for 0.1 and 0.1
Its like 4145 dollars loss

What is this vip chat and having two persons there
I have tried to join
But they are not talking just random mermering
its an open screen/audio chat for anyone to drop in or whatever.
sometimes a small group chat about a strat or a template
sometimes they just stream a chart for hours for people to view
thats all it is, not really run or monitored by the admin really
Ok thanks
and sometimes just random stuff like you mentioned
So can anyone create it
sure, you can go in and and chat or screen share stuff if you want....
ive not really participated in anything in there really, ive dropped in sometimes, but nothing serious
but keep it lux trading chat professional though
Thanks for your help
Yes sure
I am trying to find some good mentor cum friends here
There could be more to it, maybe some great content, but I dont really know as I dont really drop in there anyway....
sure, you never know who you may meet
Found 2-3 good guys already like @viscid shard @fresh sparrow

Draw a counter trendline
I see it clear as day
Bullish structure
Once it breaks that area you marked up, structure is broken
Thats the daily move. Go to the daily timeframe and youll see
Draw the counter trendline for lower timeframe entry

@viscid shard @fresh sparrow anyone on for some live chat with screen share
perhaps someone can teach me something
It's the weekend man, and I'm pretty sure Malik is sunbathing somewhere 🛳️
It would be better during a trading session, where you can see them in live action
@tawny sandal ok thanx for the info. what about you. are you free
i dont think that disturbing them during live trading will be a good idea
You just need to watch their screen 🤷
I'm out, almost Easter day here 🐰

Hi everyone
Does anyone use a platform to merge buy/sell signals from LuxAlgo to MT4/MT5?
that is beautiful
With a bullish pennant pattern, is it best to wait for it to retest the order block before entering a trade or immediately after the breakout if its an engulfing bullish candle and closes outside the line?
like this
What currency
Below the zone is sells so id wait for engulfing . Its basically at the bottom where the push started so i wouldnt wait for break and retest id enter and put safe stops below the whole zone . If losing trade price is bearish and whole bias needs to be changed
But bearish on 4h timeframe. Need to see what the daily is doing. Top down analysis. Daily could still be bullish and 4h could change again going with the bullish daily move
yeah daily is still on a bullish trend
Exactly. Thats a simple fibonacci pullback to me
Price could be by the 50% retracement but it could go down to .786 level on fib and you could catch short term sells off the 4h to that fib zone
Or just be patient and wait for the buys
i'm going to be patient
🤝
i don't know how to fully use fib retracement yet
so thats something to learn
but for the moment
Youtube university sir
just wait
i've learnt quite a bit from reading the market and market structure
using those videos as a break from my university coursework i've got to do
Sounds good. Keep it goin
gotta keep learning till im profitable
and then keep learning
we love study time
Yessir. Ight I will be back. Breakfast with the captain time
nws enjoy
🤝
Anyone with a good forex strategy with lux algo?
Theres a handful of good strats members have shared.....your in the right place 
I am also looking for ideas. Where can we find these strategies?]
These are just posted everywhere, so you just need to scroll and lurk around to see if you find something you like. Also the LuxAlgo YouTube has some great strats as well
BTW. I am a new Premium user and I am in awe. Already started having some ideas, but would like to see what people has already shared
Would it be better to have a channel with the ideas?
Just browse around, Lux channels are great the way it is, I've been here for awhile, you will get the hang of it.
Having a separate channel will be the same as the current channels IMHO, people will post the strat and chat about it and the convo will go in a different direction. So its all the same
Thanks, Micky
how was breakfast?
Was fire. Last day today. Back on charts tuesday
good to hear
got 37 mins till open
going to see if it breaks the structure on gu
for buys
Let’s get those W’s today guys! Looking forward to a few trading days this week and excited for market open
I dont even trade sundays i dont trade until 7am monday
I let the market do its thing for a little
Ive taken most of my losses london sesh on mondays from manipulation. I did 50 trade recap, 38 wins, 12 losses and 9 of those losses were london sesh monday sooo 7am new york is my time after the weekend is done
Cruise or staying in Nassau?
What is the best of senstive of xauusd
hello guys
markets slow but at least there's no 80 ticks on eurgbp today
Good morning 🌄
Good morning guys
morning
I seem not to find any forex scalping strat here
Same, I avoid London session and I'm in London bro lol Monday is not the one, I know traders who don't even trade Monday
browse the channel, there is plenty
Many of them are outdated a bit
a few strats were posted on thursday and friday how are they outdated?
Because of the new indicator release, tho they need a bit of changes
In this channel?
tweak them your way
Let me scroll up
this button is your best friend.
I didn't enter a trade till 9am gmt
Did I enter at a good point?
30m had a breakout upside already
im not sure is the best moment to enter in any directions
wait for 3h close, purple candle
agree
On higher time frame, although trend tracer is green, it's purple candles, which for me always means indecision, so would wait for a clear confirmation of direction. It's broken the trendline however, there's a few FVG's below on the 4hr.
where you entered imo, was a perfect scalp as on 15m where I think you entered the candles turned green on luxalgo, I wouldn't have personally entered however, the signal shows 1:1 R:R with a TP at the blue cross.
this is what i was talking about
Beauty, hope you enjoyed 
that sl was close 😂
You entered a candle to late . Stops below that support. TP would be hit
The 1h was still bearish
So no not a fakeout lol
@viscid shard see my last post, perfectly respecting round number 1.090
just lost £56 rip
Yep😎
Yep @viscid shard pointed out here it was a buy more than a short and defo a scalp
1h market structure was bearish… the 15min was bullish yes but that means short term buys until 1h changes direction. Regardless that 15min move would have hit tp but you just entered late
Risky scalp though
Hello, good day everyone
As I said, I would've done nothing tbh
Looking at gold but I'm not by my laptop
Was just about to say a short OPP on gold
I was going to say ay 2k
Would watch how it reacts to the order block below on market ope.
I use Jav in combination with PAC, I didnt received expected CoCh so I didnt entered & glad I didnt.
i thought once the 1 hour broke out of that pennant i thought it signalled a change in direction
stop loss was very important here... it saved me
i had to exit early since my stop loss was on the other side of the yellow box
Thank you sir, will be taking another one in probably a month or so😂
just a harsh learning experience
for me too
Market structure first lol
The 1H made a double top and melted lol
i think now it is probably the perfect moment to entry in a position... 30-15 min close
so this was the double top?
oh wait now i think i see it
malik talk about eurusd, not gu
...didn't you?
5min
not sure that its finished
RG what you think?
What do I think about what?.
gu
It was a short opp, you gotta trade against market hours as well
1:30 buy signal but strong short as well as BOS before, trend tracer, trend catcher red
Shorted against order block
This on 5m, nothing to do now
There used to be such settings, who has them? Please send it
Upgrade to V6 and it's built in
Check my chart
You see it says optimal sensitivity
Yes double top
You can change it to auto pilot or follow the optimal sensitivity
I'm new and it's hard for me to figure it out. These settings would help me a lot
Imo, it's best to just read the documentation
New V6 has the optibot built in, you just need to adjust the values, it's better than having discord open and watching the optibot
absolutly... im waiting for long
I like how you changed the colour of the order blocks
Holy that blew past it
theres so much going on, in every market
i've got a lot of learning to do
see when i opened the trade and 9am gmt i was up £30 on that unintentional 15 min scalp
since i though the trend had turned to bullish
Study time thats all. Just keep grinding
Morning 🌞
Your cheat sheet for trading pairs 
https://www.tradingview.com/x/mlIZpBkn
Also, mentioned gold short too
I went to the cinema today though, taking a break as it's the bank holiday in the UK
So I wasn't really paying attention but was defo good opp
Dollar goes up, Gold goes down (most times 😹 )
Cheat Sheet 
Noob question here.... Trying to get my candles the same format to illustrate the trend as here.
However mine are slightly different.
Which setting am I missing here
What does yours look like? You just need to pay around with the trend settings
Seems to have the wicks and candle outline as to the candle being bullish or bearish
OH ok, just go to your TV chart settings > symbol
from here you can change the colors for the wicks if candle is up/down
Ahhhh got you 🙏
uncheck border settings
sure, thats what I do
I have my wicks to muted gray for both up/down
I like the JPY pairs and EU
nicee
do u have good strategy for forex using lux?
