Hi there, these are based on elements found in Signals & Overlays, more info here: https://docs.luxalgo.com/docs/luxalgo-toolkits/signals-overlays/signals
The Signals & Overlaysโข toolkit by LuxAlgo displays various bullish/bearish signals that aim to support the analysis of the trader. There are two main signal methodologies available, each one fits a different trading style -- Confirmation signals and Contrarian signals.
So I am seeing same signals that I see on TradingView ? ๐
It's a summary of multiple assets/timeframes of the information you can get from Lux Premium indicators.
Indeed yes .. Look at the image and see it yourself for DXY chart and Screener follows the same vs chart and screener for Gold
ah ha divergence short.. on 5m...
Bullish Incoming in the Matrix Osci
Highlighted in the circle
Shoot your problem
what level bullish? does that trump the divergence?
These are oddly conflicting, I agree OCI is showing a bull incoming, (i dont know what size) at the same time its showing clear bearish on chart and reversal...?
For scalping on LTF like 5m and below shows bullish but HTF 15m and above is bearish
@echo kiln's doing an early live-stream right now https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077
you were right on the bull, but I am not far away from the short,, it only had until about 2030 left in it.
Matrix Osci on 15m TF is still bullish heading towards the Equilibrium
so on that basis you would consider shorting at 2032? as it would take news at 1.30 to break that?
i.e GBP
GDP*
Wait until the news .. trade 5m after the news
GOLD is gonna short hard this time ๐
Have you seen inside the magic red box or folder thing? what if Biden has gone wondering into the forest with it?
I heard that the US have been mainly doing netflix and chill this qtr....
I will switch the volume up on bloomberg...
sometimes noise on other companies gives a feeling..... I personally thing until the intererst rates in 2 weeks are dealt with, DX will be pos and XAU under pressure.
but also, I am normally wrong / right.
we are going to see one of of those market open crazy candels, make sure you SL is not too tight...
We got enough rooms for DXY to 105
how did you add the DXY on to the chart may I ask?
That shows it elegantly..
just search for DXY and the candles would show
Do you mean background print ?
Chart Setting >> Canvas >> under Chart Basic >> check mark watermark
@sterile oracle
yes you have two lines for DXY one going up and the other down one in light green and the other light red
They are either trendlines turned on or they are trend tracer lines ๐๐ป
Seems that you colored the watermark
i put orange...
ok let me turn to default
i stuck a DXY in there to see cross overs..
its following at the moment
it does show a short to come subject to news...
if the increase surpasses DXY..
good short for Gold if it does
4 mins to news
Told you to wait
back to patterns...
News didnโt had much impact ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Mix news
looks like my SL was too tight and we end up consolidating..
cycle
I am selling gold again.
just annoying
SL too tight.
i already said this morning if we are not breaking 2025 we go higher.
wait .. do not play with emotion
shut system and walk away
come back tomorrow
no emotion.. I accept it... now I start again.. and eventually I will recover loss.
Gold is bullish .. screener
This is my range 2033.4-2037.9 for layering....
Sl :2039.6
Tp1 :2031.6
Tp2 :2029
interesting...
Ye that sounds fine
If I am sure about the direction based on Fibs, I don't even use stop losses, stop losses are not always a good thing ๐
Yeah i dont put sl on the broker
BOOM !!!!!!!!
buy XAUUSD tp 2040 SL 2020
They just hunt stop losses, and if I am not really sure about my trade, I just don't
hmmm then if I dont have a SL... I have to make a dynamic decision..
if I did this on XAU, I would be even deeper by now?
thatz 140 pips SL .. Hope you not doing swing trade
I went to the last mega LL
Yeah, I am not advising not using SL tho, just my two cents
it depends on your trade management if i dont like the trade i just exit
i never take full sl most trades
ok let my fictional 140 SL stay, just incase I get assasinated.
I will just watch and quit when I dont like the optics
You are currently trading with emotion .. sit back and observe the chart for 15m only
Bro is straight up gambling ๐ฐ
I will take this on board..
That SL is huge tho, I am sure the price won't be going 2020 so it is fine but that SL is like a BUS
50 seems better
layer them while the 50 pips remains the same price
both even 3m TF too
adjusted
3M seems like for pros ๐ I donโt know which setting to go with on PAC & SO
Any recommendations for scalping settings ? I donโt like the presets of scalpers but I rather keep it on default but on 5M chart price doesnโt seem to respect FVGs and doesnโt trace back down or up ๐
Play with the setting that suit your needs
agree on the 15m... this is much calmer, I will drop to 5m only when layering.. i enter only with 15m...
to recoup losses, I will need about 4 trading cycles... on ranging...
margin pct is over 5000 pct... so I have scope for rest of book
What lot size do you use ?
1.0 lots on 100k book at 500x
use 2.5 x 2 layering for 20 pips to recover the loss
search where can you find your 20 pips
Scalper .. See money and take money
IMAO
Are you dumb or behaving Dumb ?
Who is crying ๐
well thanks.
Anyone buying spot gold right now?
i am long on it but very tight..
Lol ๐
eurusd is working well
Nvm
M sir Bitcoin is 60k sir
I hold BTC i dont trade it.
Good sir โบ๏ธ
if you want to trade BTC or discuss it, maybe there is a good section on crypto-chat?
Kindly take your BTC in here #๐crypto-chat
News was negative for DXY @echo kiln being mix news
Bitcoin gonna collapse soon โ
Did you take the wrong Viagra 
I am off to hunt my 20 pips.. speak in a bit
Aren't you guys trading EURUS ?
Ask me same question during halving buddy โ
Ok sir
$ still got rooms to play around ๐
Itโs a great time to invest
@worn hatch he will answer you as well
Kindly stop annoying
What was the news
Okk sir
btw you are part of the reason I left for a bit to hunt my 20 pips. Kindly consider your messages calmly.
Focus on the goals ๐
Gold short will be done after 2029 after crossing premium in 15 minutes
Gonna short gold soon โ
I hope you took the eu trade ez 15 pips
4H is my last hope to short gold for a big 1:4 trade โ
2045-48
I waited over a week for that
Wonโt hit 2045 โ 2038 is my short entry
1h more for a new 4H candle on Gold
The new 4H is my new short entry โ
There is already a divergence on 4h TF candle being bullish
OB is gonna give me what I need on 4H or else it mitigates that OB and hits my SL
doesnโt look like that kind of volume is there to mitigate that OB
Wait for 39 or 40
Naah man I waited whole week to short gold ๐ ainโt no way gold is gonna survive, boys are with me โ
Reddit Boys are with me ๐ข gonna do a short squeeze on gold
Letโs go boys move that 4H โ to bottom on the sea ๐
gold was doing jack shit all week while euro is having good moves
This week was mainly crypto and euro for me rest was boring
EU showed some amazing momentum while gold was choppy af
Any idea how to avoid these short - term noise ?
What do you mean ?
in the above image , please see the highlighted one, though it shows storng buy it doesnt lasr for one cancle
I will simply follow these alerts to make me pay attention on 15m... I will look to 5m to layer. and not hunt... lazy way to make the profits.. obviously when news comes, run to the sea...
@sterile oracle thanks, what indicators you used in the chart, could you please suggest me the settings
The Matrix Osci has already printed as sell while the candle is already near the Overbrought area on 15m TF .. what does the HTF tells you on the same Candle?
@worn hatch - Matrix Osci will not show as Sell immediately (hope you are referinh to red bottom line in second graph. i Got the sell trend in Matrix Osci only after i made a buy
Because indicator are lagging indicator they print after price action has moved or broken a trend pattern
thanks, what indicators you used in the chart, could you please suggest me the settings? Also you go for Buy when it hit LL and Sell when it hit HH?
@sterile oracle - Can you please suggest ๐
If you are following signals based of just AI strength then good look trading because sometimes signals do take into account volume at a certain time which also boosts the strength of the signals their might be institutional BUY order due to which signals said a 3 BUY but later market followed the price action and dropped
thanks for the insights, how to avoid those noise? What setting i have to change?
Increase signal sensitivity and play around with it
Shall i increase it to 20?
Play with the settings and see if it suit your needs
Higher the sensitivity, lesser the noise and stronger long term signals + make sure your MTF scanner followed that pattern too
Increasing the signal sensitivity also doesnt work
I have turned-off the auto-pilot and increased the sensitivity from 20 to 22, worked somehow. could you please suggest
I always target for 20 - 30 Pips, because most of the times i never see the TF is hit
I always target for 20 - 30 Pips, because most of the times i never see the TF is hit. If i decide to go with TP level, i will always target for lesser that first TP mentioned in the chart(may be 10 pips less)
Time Frame you use to trade ?
i am trading with 30m timeframe all these days, still struggling to find the good timeframe without noise
Use 1H for Bias and execute on 15M, 15M is best with less noise you can also use 15M to 5M for scalping 15-20pips that works too if you donโt like to hold positions longer
๐
5min before sb session
ok thanks, if i wish to stay long which timeframe will be good ? any other indicator (or) signal recommendation that will reduce the noise
Lesser indicators on screen what I try to do so I can actually focus on price action โ rest everybody has different trading styles
FINALLLLLLLY
This one TOOK FOREVER !!!!
1 Month trade
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only a half lot
This was suppose to be the last trade I did on Oanda, before to switch to Forex.com completely
Well done!!!! 1 month ๐ฎ ๐ฎ
NUTS !!!!!!!!!!!
Never broke outside my framed trade
1 month?! how do you have the patience for that haha
Half a lot

hahahahahaha
Would had been nice if full lot
LOLLLL
im inpatient on the 5 min timeframe regardless of what lot i use ๐คฃ id be sleeping 1 hour a night if i was holding a trade for a month
waking up every hour to check because im curious
I still did this
HAHA
on this one, i was in the green all the time, well most of the time, frustrating, but still green
Hello everyone
Crazy
welcome!
Painful $900
Thank you
profit is profit though right
Yup ๐
i need to start trading more pairs other than AJ, bored on days like today when it just drops and doesnt provide any market structure ๐ค
Dumb question, gold and usd negatively correlated so does that mean when usd goes down gold goes up? ๐ญ
It's so confusing to me
Well USD has the impact you state on XAU, However, every country trades against XAU indirectly. When china is struggling they buy more gold. Also When Nato attempts invasions Gold tends to go up. or when stocks drop etc. XAU goes up.. thats what makes XAU volatile.
i managed to get around 20 pips aswel
ima just close my thing and comeback tomorrow
same
You enjoyed the swap fees?
great trade
my broker is swap free so i can hold trades forver if i want
bro shared 50% profit with broker ๐๐
Just jump on the train.
either you get punched in the face, or your riding the wave
LOL, the overnight finance fees are ok, nothing too bad
These swings normally last a few days to max a week
this one was unusual
LOLLLLLLLLLL
yeah 1 month is like an investment at this point
The key for me, on this one, was, I needed a WIN
And got it
Mindset
Just validates my framed structure play
bro i used to have this mentality when i started trading stocks..i never sell at a loss no matter how long i wait i only close at a win and it worked so well until we had a real bear market 
I was a swing trader back then
Thing is with stocks you atleast can read on fundementals and finiancials. Forex and crypto is pretty alien in this regard you never know when news can fk you up
I only knew powell existed during inflation when biden took over
never heard of his name for years when i was trading
I never swing just coz the above mentioned, either I ainโt sleeping whole night or I have alerts every 15M for every HH or LL created for that whole 1 month ๐ I might just give up like yeah here take my 400$ and leave me alone I am gonna make that 400$ tomorrow on XAU anyways ๐
Can anyone explain or guide me to a video about difference between trend tracer & trend catcher ? I am trying to create a new strategy just for my scalper buddies ๐
You can check out the documents here for a better understanding: https://docs.luxalgo.com/docs/luxalgo-toolkits/signals-overlays/indicator-overlay
The Trend Tracer is a trend-following algorithm that aims to estimate the underlying trend in the price. When the indicator indicates an uptrend its color will be green, while red in the case of a downtrend.
The Trend Catcher is a similar algorithm to the previous Trend Tracer, however, it aims to detect very early trends, and is thus more reactive.
Like with the Trend Tracer, the color of the indicator determines the detected trend.
Really love the customization Lux has to offer with PAC & SO like their is so much to tweak and play with ๐
Glad you're liking the customisation of the LuxAlgo indicators buddy ๐๐ฝ It can keep you entertained for hours; certainly is the case with me haha

Working on the other 2 one is down 8% and other is up 6%

The new free indicator is honestly so good with keltner bands/channel (whatever its called)
It really helps filter out false signals with bollinger bands and stuff like selling when it touches top band

๐
nah man tryna play around with different settings until I find a edge
do my trades in 10m and im out
What strategy do you use ? You scalp or daytrade
Ohh so you use kingfisher strategy ?
i use my strat
What is it ?
๐
i basically just scalp with priceaction
Like ?
around key levels
Secrets are always kept secrets ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
hahaha
i was legit
in discord for hours just listening and reading what fisher used to say
and practiced
until i finnaly found my strat
The problem with mine is price never respect FVGs formed on 5M chart and I mostly scalp on 5M
๐ too volatile for me to trade
I open 10 lots so if it ticks 10 points itโs 100$ in a sec ๐
20 pips is like 10 points on gold right now?
10 points = 10 pips ?
2030-2032 = 20 pips
Naah thatโs 200 pips ๐คฃ
Me with 0.02 lot size
10 lots is crazy
You havenโt seen real boys then ๐
Sending is not an issue .. ppl keep asking for strategies and stuff and stopped sharing .. got tons of them in my DM to be accepted
๐
Since I stopped .. DM stopped too ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@worn hatch whatโs your strategy though you scalp too right ? Help me man
Scalping 20 pips in Gold taught by @echo kiln
๐
Watch his earlier post in here https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1199356285813006367
Is that strategy in #1128499789437354106
Watch the earlier ones before he went to swing mode .. earlier he was a pure scalper
Look at the HTF such as 4H and 1H TF for trend bias to be traded on LTF so if HTF is bullish all you would look for is buy trades on any LTF and vice versa
Start from the 1st one from the bottom
i think this is micky and kingfisher's strategy @echo kiln @worn hatch 
๐
I am scalper too but market tends to hit me hard af especially 4H candle that ๐ฉ turns around too quick and boom ๐ฅ
Reversals are what bottlenecks my strategy, even reversal zone ainโt helping with that ๐ค in a middle of upward trend price just make a u turn out of no where ๐
??
I have replaced the losses... I learn now, trade and tread carefully.. patience.. daniel son...
xau is either nice or like putting hot honey and salt on sensitive bits ๐
yes. I said it this morning I am bullish on dxy for next two weeks.it doesnt mean i wont daytrade short term against it but thats still the big picture for me
Im with you!!!!
Not sure if this is going to hold
๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Painful to say the least
All my swings this year in 2024 are painful, every single one of them !!!!
Irritated
LOL

Hey @echo kiln any past videos for scalping strategies you explained on community streams ? Can you share me the link ๐ to that really into learning more strategies especially for scalpers
Doesnโt look like itโs gonna hold, tomorrow news might push it a little ๐๏ธ
I do discuss in some streams, in detail, on my scalp templates.
You are referring to a Signals and Overlays scalp?
I pretty much use Neo Cloud setting 1, and candle color simple
EU still in a 4H bearish structure, so maybe a quick 15m short scalp
๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
I know nuthin'
i finished my scalp like an hour ago
was bored and saw an opportunity it did take a bit for it to just give me like 10 pips xD
Nice1
nice!
is smart money indicator accurate?
Yes โ it lays out all of the SMC concepts and being an SMC trader it helps me identify liquidity ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐
@noble crag how long been trading in ict?
Trade I took with the new free indicator lux released 
Almost 2 years as an ICT Trader & 1 Year since Trap Trader ๐ชค learning more core concepts of acts of manipulation ๐ in the market โ
Me with my tiny account 
Hazel you swing trade or day trade ? Did you use SMC indicator by Lux ?
Say no access ? ๐ค
You might not see it cause you have premium
nice nice, im still on month 1 2016, i understand most stuff but some stuff is confusing
i have demo account
Yes it does become confusing but the goal is to keep it simple โ
yes, i already know discount, smart money algo, premium markets, consolidation, retracements, expanison, reversal
Best Tip I can give through my journey -> Price doesnโt know whatโs the time & Time doesnโt know whatโs the price ๐
You are learning from official ICT or YouTube ?
right now i have found out that EuroUSD is on a consolidation, it will expand since its on the equlibream smc is buying orders and keeping it up, further more we got a Equal high which menas that it is still buliding order and a sign of a bullish
you see, i dont like wasting my time, he talks alot of stuff people dont understand
so im grasping the basics then only trade trade trade and learn
but if you got any tips leave it to me ๐
He always talks in a confusing manner but once you put his words to practice you make the difference, all other things like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands seems to be ๐ฉ once you become an SMC trader and all you look for is Liquidity, Reversals, Liquidity Grabs, EQHs, CHoCH & BOS,
all i know is smc sell at premium, buy at discount thats where i make my buys and sells or sells or buys, or Orderblocks if the indicator spots them for short profits
FVGs & Manipulation phase is where it forced me to learn trap trading since the move after hitting FVG is always manipulative and to master the direction of price action you need to learn trap trading ๐ชค
Many people think ICT is bull ๐ฉ ๐ and they just follow the normal path of following MVA & EMAs
thats shit, ict is really legit
Practice is what makes you perfect especially doing and working on same strategy every single day
Say for me no access to although am ultimate member? Whom can I ask for?
Idk why it's showing up no access for premium members
I donโt know ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ I am premium but says No Access for me too ๐
IFVGs ? Is it that indicator Hazel ?
Even for ultimate members no access ๐ง
Ohh okay
Smaller version of PAC indicator
@noble crag i dont understand, can you please explain to me why price always retraces or expands back to orderblocks then retraces or reverses?
Ohh that
So the thing is traders often pay attention to these order blocks as they can act as support or resistance levels in the future. For instance, if the price retraces back to the order block level, it may attract buyers who missed the initial move, leading to a bounce or a reversal in price โ just like how FVGs work since they are the areas where huge Volume Orders are placed by Hedges Funds, Banks, Institutions etc
yeah, and we can see that with the indicator making my life so much easier making a almost like a trendline but accurate support and resistance
@noble crag has earned the Lux Level Legend role!
They show volume of order block too and if price mitigates that OB you can predict where is price gonna retrace โ
but i thought the goal of sm banks is to reach premium level so that they can sell out what they have left, i thought they will always try to surpass higher highs, but OB we can think of the resistance as its slowly going up and what we think SM will do next with their large buyers?
Those bottom OB holds huge sell orders which means selling pressure is too much which indicates markets gonna look for LIQUIDITY of Buyers so price is gonna move in upward direction โ thatโs manipulation and once it hits SLs of buyers who places LONGs itโs gonna mitigate back to OB and make it invalid and continue the trend โ
can you think of it like that? @noble crag
So OB holds orders of SM banks since their isnโt enough liquidity in the market to transact those huge orders, banks push the price lower off the OB, thatโs manipulation, and when retail traders places short/long trades in that manipulation that is where a strong pullback occurs in the market which is liquidity grab ! And price retraces back to Banks orders and the transaction is fullfilled which is mitigation of an OB โ
Hereโs one of my reference from a server group โ
M & D phase is the time phase & price doesnโt know whatโs the time & time doesnโt know what the price ๐ and that is where the session sweeps ๐งน occurs โ Micky has created a strategy based on that concept and I have back tested it and works perfectly unless there is a news or you yourself get trapped ๐
Asia session are usually consolidating and if you can catch a move itโs probably the silver bullet of London opening or a news trend ๐๏ธ Silver Bullet usually though doesnโt require a bias but it doesnโt occur every single day as per my knowledge of last 6 months โ
London session I aim for London Killzone & Liquidity Grab great
NY session - I donโt need to explain that is where the fun part is ๐ you either get a good bias or you just force trades by not following one of your trading rules โ but you still make it โ
ah
@noble crag so orderblocks fulfil these orders in case they didnt completly buy in the discount market, but it will take more time for them to climb up
That is where institutional orders are at โ those institutions are that ones who create that manipulation since you cannot beat them concept says to join them โ hence trade the trap ๐ชค
ah
thats why the indicator said
weak low, it meant that smc did not buy in the 0.75 range or higher, rather existed it fast
โ thatโs rejection once price rejects that weak low itโs becomes strong and vice versa
someone told me before, smc does not have to trade all the time, they can take time
Once a HH is mitigated itโs either a liquidity grab or you are trapped ๐
usually liquidity sits at LLs and HHs but sometimes thereโs manipulation too and thatโs why you have to be vary of FVGs
right now EURO/USD looks like bulding up orders, since what my eyes telling me is that its conslidating at a Equlibream on 1H timeframe
Asia session โ you are correct โ
now what my theory is they will skyrocket to the HH 22nd Feburari, then what they will do is sell at that premium level, if they want they can retrace, if they reach 0.5 or higher then they will skyrocket, otherwise they will probably retrace back and fool all the retail traders taking their money by oppurtunity fooling them thats its going to get higher
if they dont go for 0.7 or higher, or even nearly reach premium level, smc will hold on to that money by fooling some retail traders until they can get to a 0.7+ higher zone higher then the HH on 22nd feburari
You are getting it somewhat but donโt put dates with price and thatโs the key price doesnโt know what would be the time on 22nd FEB and Time doesnโt know what would be the price on 22nd FEB ๐ ๐
all i know price will expand, then it might have a reversal coupled with a retracement back to discount levels
i dont know
but all i know i can make 20 - 50+ pips profit after asia seassion
Hello members
I am a newbie and I have heard about Luxalgo from Social Media
Should I buy it right now or wait for some time and learn more about the trading?
Upto you mate depends on what are you looking for โ
so what i will do @noble crag is wait for CHOCH thats a sign that a expansion is about to happen, lets price expand until it hits premium zone, or if we see its reacting to a orderblock take the profits.
Also should I be expecting the profits from Day 01 when I purchase the Luxalgo premium indicator?
You are getting it
so what i will do now set my orders on demo account on a 0.5 lot size
No indicator in the world is gonna make you profits on day 1 โ indicators are their for confluence and help you draw & mark key zones & levels but purely depending on indicator wonโt bring you profits โ
@noble crag what is your plan?
Okay, I understand your point
by the way @noble crag yesterday watched some videos of how can we exploit major news for major profits, do you know any good way+
?
So, I should not be relying on just the indicator itself right? @noble crag
I am looking and gold and waiting when itโs gonna sweep 2039 level for liquidity on EQH so I can short gold ๐
if you want it easy easy easy
a liqudity void?
I donโt trade news ๐๏ธ very volatile and messes up with my bias of the market โ
Pls don't mind if my questions annoy you because I don't have knowledge about Algorithm trading I just want to know more about it and see if it's easy to trade with or not @noble crag
if you want it to be easy, then i recommend you buying best indicator signal in the world
Equal Highs are the resting liquidity which is usually price takes out by going above it and then retraces back โ
Sure, tell me the name of it.
Is it the LuxAlgo?
@prime garnet
It helps a lot though saves me time from drawing patterns, zones & whole bunch of stuff since indicators draws that for me on the chart ๐ โ
i saw ict say that equal highs are sign that can go bullish or the other way, bearish
but i dont understand it
does it has to be sell candles equal highs
to bearish trend
and buy candles equal for a bullish trend
Thanks @noble crag @prime garnet
Buy candles with EQHs means there is where stop losses are at ! And that is liquidity once the price takes it out, reversals occurs โ
i dont understand explain it easier xd
thanks
EQHs indicate for sell
bearish markets
let me guess
because traders have exit the trade, which banks dont have enough to push price up to next hh
if they didnt go discount ofc
thats why smc goes down in a retracement
Nope EQHs & EQLs are the stop losses placed by retail traders because they are either a HH & LL which usually is a stop loss of a retail trader ( recent high or recent low ) so price takes it out by going for a sweep ๐งน and then when market grabs the liquidity itโs retraces โ
You are getting confused with some concepts, go take a break itโs too much info for you and hard to remember โ
nah im cool
i like learning xd
so are retail traders getting manipulated?
by smc
Most likely unless you know how to trap trade ๐ชค or you know how SMC concepts work
so in human english they exit these trades because of what they think based on "reading charts ๐ฉ "
All the indicators are lagging indicators so Volume & Price Action are your best friends
wdym
Prince action cannot be manipulated like other factors and same for the volume โ
price action and volume?
Most traders have 6-8 indicators on the screen and make a bias off those indicators but they donโt know that they are lagging what they are seeing has already happened, but if you follow pure price action & volume you cannot be manipulated easily since you are looking are REAL TIME numbers on the screen and whatโs gonna happen next
Bitcoin will uptrend
@
@noble crag i assume your waiting for CHOCH for euro/usd then you will make most of your cash today there, probably 1k usd - 2k usd?
or your focusing on gold xd?
oh shit, @noble crag what my eyes tell me is that gold they are about to sell everything at premium
they will start declining probably, so what i will do is wait for a CHOCH
Any setup for today ? Forex
Good morning
Morn !!!!
Good time to short Gold
morning micky ,explain God . I watch your stream every morning ,its very helpfully . Thx from Germany

I slightly entered a short with xauusd a little too early. but it should reach 2033 or so before going long in theory.. i have to learn to enter later on the pull back.. patience is key!
Entered and exited too
This is something I should learn on.. the issue was in my case is that I entered too early before it went to 2037..
I should have taken an ideal entry on the 5m chart.
we are already Bullish on 1h TF
So my trade is taking longer... To make some decent profit, I am holding until it reaches about 2034 or 2033
yes but the ideal time to enter a bullish position is around 2034 or 2033?
Which ticker?
Yes it will reach
meaning I have some scope to make a micro profit before going long?
XAUUSD
hello people
I am using XAU on 15m and DXY on 1H TF while my MT5 is on 5m TF to scalp around
yeah our strategys are wayy different ๐
Thats a good way.. one of my issues is config of lux on charts to show me information easily
I take it on DXY you look for crosses to trade by inverse?
yes if dxy is bullish he looks for sells
I suggested combing multiple studies to create a monster alert.. It seems impossible right now as each study is mutually exclusive in alerts.
gives him a bias
I keep my MT5 in the middle of the chart when I need to analysis the trade to enter .. left side XAU and right side DXY
if you see the chart XAU is move on the left is because MT5 stays in the middle to take trades
just add the ticker on your left side
for some reason I seem to think of MT5 as being the terminal to place trades
I think I have
that crazy blue line is my DXY
so here I see dxy diving and XAU going up which shows bullish..
My favorite lux indicator is "price action concepts"
yes combined with others its very good.
I don't use the buy sell indicator
that would only confuse you .. have a candle moving around
You can make sure your Discord is connected here: https://app.luxalgo.com/account/connect-accounts
I will try to work out how to do that... not sure how ....
Remove the indicator itself
use spilt screen as shown here
use the same LUX setting from your XAU to DXY
on both screens
guys its an expansion, yesterday they where bildning up orders in consolidation market
just trying to work out how to make a split screen
done it
i had forgotten
Top right side near the chart name
on basis of this on 15m chart, XAUUSD will go up until DXY reaches a low of 103.731
I have just learned something ๐
I will now apply this to other pairs
Indeed yeah
by using the base as a second screen
so EURUSD - DXY
etc.
GBPUSD - DXY
and you scalp at 5mins on this...
facinating
I will keep one extra tab just for the screeners so I can see whats up.
I take it you keep DXY on 5m chart and keep main pair on 15m chart?
how do I modify this?
DXY on 1h TF to see the trend and XAUUSD on 15m TF
its from price action but I cant see it
PAC indicator setting
k 1 sec
I was looking in PAC
but I cannot find the structure scanner...
you version has pattern
In here
great thanks
In here
Play with the settings .. its fun
are you on v1.6 or a newer one?
ah ha yes you are...
ok so I need to copy settings from the 1.6 I had and migrate to 1.61
what id MT5 mentioned here?
Trading application
Do not try what I do because I know what I am doing .. Scalper ๐ @granite goblet
you mean for scalping on;y the method you do is the best?
My strategy works best for me .. create your own strategy that works for you ๐
you guys are seems to be advance in using the chart and indicators, i wanted to learn the approach so that i can minimize my loses
Also how you guys are trading, manually?
#๐must-watch and #๐ง core-lessons understand each indicator and create a strategy
All Manual trades done
quetion on RAM, so i see TV is Ram intensive, do you keep many tabs open or just switch as you see something interesting?
I am thinking to build a pc to feed the RAM usage, I dont think there is much GPU usage
I am on Premium in Tv which allows me to have unlimited charts .. so I got 4 charts for XAU and 1 chart each for US30 and NAS100 and few chart when making some comparison
Download TV on your Desktop instead of using Chrome
Delete Temporary files from your PC every week
How to add DXY in the trading view
morning!
DXY seems to bounce on that ob
any suggstions?
In the below chart DXY seems to be bearish, XAUUSB is also bearish instead of bullish . why?
Any redfolder news today?
you are not using the same TF first. and second, gold can be manipulated
yes, in 3h40
@worn hatch FundedPeaks finally launching ?
Already launched an hour ago .. early bird access for now
Your smart trails in bullish on 15m TF while DXY is bearish on 1h TF there is the difference
what are the best settings for forex with the price action concepts ? trying to use it on a couple of pairs i understand all of the concepts its just the settings fr the indicator
Cant find them
Search them on IG
First one ๐ค the absolute minimum but I donโt mind, it is a big step for me
Ready to Buy Gold
Not touching gold still looks garbage for me. Trading gbp atm on longs
Ez money
Gbpjpy is doing amazing
at 2025 looks good ide agree
May be 2029 to 2028 hope so. But it will go up to you again 2039
Do scalping is best Towards Buy
short on gbpjpy now had a cool set up tapped into sellside ob and then had a chochh plus on m1 timeframe
ok that was a weird scalp...
Around 2025 we have FVG and OB 15m and 4h, it is a good buy I think depending on the news today, after that it should go up to 2041 at least I think
2030s are mess, smart
I am in gpbusd buy atm 4 pips in profit so far
lets see if i can get 15 pips out of it
I have been shorting AUDUSD for like 32 hours, I will hold a bit more
260 pips so far
i started the buy like few min ago cuz dxy had a sharp sell off at the top
2025 go long?
so thought i would go for the scalp right now
I see, good choice
Yeap
gbp also reached a good ob that was not tested before
so i thought thats perfect entry
i expect atleast a bounce if the ob never touched before
and thats why it is bouncing now
Is you tp 1.26631?
yeah
your*
I will be having one more funky scalp
Ahh
i get 1:2
out of that ob
well a bit more than that
if dxy bounced i might exit earlier
I'm being dumb how do u set up trading view to show 2 charts at once ๐ญ
chart layout
you can customize it
@elder beacon
you see a rectangle icon on top right
In terms of gold, anything can happen today but if we look at the big picture, the bigger uptrend started on oct 6 still goes on, if you use fibs on December 13 bottom, December 28 top and february 14 wednesday bottom, 0.50 is 2041 so that's why I said it should atleast go 2041 soon, 2055 next and then it will go 2074, in one or two weeks maybe
Then we will see if it will go 2098-2100 or not
hey why does the smart concept indicator changes its discount, premium, OB etc
for the next few hours,//// I will wait for this to happen aslong as no news
of impact
wait
core personal consumption expenditure
so cancel and wait.
i would agree, but we can scalp in between.. and adapt when this red news arrives.
Ofc, just trying to forecast near future for big picture, I also scalp while holding long time frame positions
When you have Geo politics, non of our technical approaches may work if the price action changes... The only ones who can do this are industrial banking swing traders who are controlled by our goverments and know of quant easing and what labour market is forced to do either spend or dont or go to war or dont... as a normal trader, I just try to trade away from this stuff as Biden of the lost man of the forest, sunack as the dwarf of leicester or Trump as the orange man with the red button say and do things...
Hahah, I agree. However wars are not going away soon, actually speading up and spreading. In war, not just people but also countries bank those golds. That's why I am standing the technical analysis I just made ๐
i always go fundementals>technicals
I guess what I did was a mix of that
never rely on technicals alone like lets say a stock is extremely oversold based on technicals ,the ceo of the company next day announces bankruptcy it is going to zero xD
doesnt matter what your techincals are saying
or lets say a stock is at 0.5 and next day it is announced this company is sold for 3 usd /share...it doesnt matter where the price is it will go to 3 usd/share since thats the price it got bought at
You are absolutely right, but speaking of gold, there is war and market impulses with the fibs so 2041 2055 and 2074 should arrive I believe when mixing the technical and fundamental, time will show ofc ๐
Indeed
fundementals dont tell you where to enter
also for gpb trade i hit BE
i only got 1:1 then price dropped hard
Yeah I was watching that to see if you were making it xD
I have some copper positions as well but damn copper is slow, after I hit TP, never again
copper still holds alot of value these days but i believe since most cables are now becoming fiber optics
Yeah it is not gonna die but slow for sure
their main usage is as a conductor or power cables
I work in power stations and i have seen thieves steal neutral cables just for the copper


I live in Turkey, because of the inflation, little coins are worth more if you melt them to sell, local stores are collecting and selling them lol
thats smart
yeah turkey inflation is insane
alot of people here go to turkey cuz it is cheap and better than eu
for vacation i mean
DXY Bearish Divergence on 1H TF @sterile oracle
considering another entry on gpb
Well, I work as a pentester so inflation did not really affect me, I am still earning good but what you said is true. Was true I mean but it is becoming more expensive actually, I went to London a couple of months ago, food and living prices are close to UK right now which is insane
but i dont wanna hold trade during news
Where do you live, Balkans?
kuwait
Ah makes sense, kwait qatar and UAE tourists are common in Istanbul
we might have 2 streams again today(unconfirmed by @echo kiln) but tune in for part 1 here: https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077
I have been there a few times in transit to KSA, I grew up in Riyadh since the 80's
I even remember when Saddam was forced to go into war, that I had to drive with a taxi in the dark with lights off through bharain to fly out...
Kuwait, taught me about gold.. Women would cross border with gold when the war was on!
Wow what an experience
Gorkem, from your name I knew you were turkish,, i have a plan to go to cesme to get a Kumrou sandwhich...
gold is edging me so hard
I had a good friend who studied in instanbul.
until the news breaks?
how ackurate are the OB on Smart money indicator
Amazing place, amazing sand ๐
I only use Luxalgo pac so I would not really now, but I know it is close to PAC
nice man
thats premium, heard many sjung premium for the signals
Great place to study or just visit as a tourist, shit place to live tho
PAC does not give signals and it is included in essential
I think Turkey has its own political and economic issues, I know they pay people to go to taksim and hold flags.
whether you are in ankara or istanbul, its all odd and the prices with inflation are simply insane...
but that has been the case since the 90#s
nice to visit lovely people great food, lots of histor
goverment a little unusual.
Exactly, colorful in every possible way, wish it was less colorful sometimes xD
I can say this there are lots of business opportunies in Turkey with good work force. but the politics is unstable and your company even if making money can go bankrupt.
Making money as a business when there is this much uncertainty and inflation is quite hard but if you make it your company would skyrocket
speaking of talking about turkey... I now have a craving for iskendar kebab. I will go to the local restuarant and get some with patlican and some bread.. fuel ready for 1.30 / 2pm
i will get some rice as well and some lentil soup....
Hahah now I have the craving lol, hope they make it delicious like here
they have lots opening in the UK and even barbers,
I am well fed and have short hair as a result!
many here are actually kurdish but say they are turkish...
i can tell the difference
Oh UK yeah I heard Turkish restaurant are decent there
there are good communities. of turkish and of kurdish here now.
premium uses signals huh, question is whats the win % and what is the ai using for method
car wash barbar food and cash and carry.
have you looked at the back testing?
may be worth it.
It is kinda unreliable, you should now what you are doing, you cannot go HAM with every single signal
or you could pick 100 trades and back test manually.
out of 100 trades what is the win rate
all signals can fail with sideways moving flat market
learn the patters
upward consolodating etc and new driven etc..
adapt to condition and know when not to trade
Anthony can pull of %90 winrate whereas Sarah can pull of %20 winrate with signals, it depends on everything, strat, TP, SL, and your knowledge, no one would guarentee anything
i advocate confluence...
ah
dont use a single indicator
practive paper trading
dont play with money with hope... I can confirm I know nothing. but have forgotten many things...
Good but not that great then PAC
ah
but smc is accurate?
because when i change time zones i dont understand jack
OB changes
I assume PAC uses smc too?
Yes different time frames might have different OB's
The same but it give indepth feature to see in our naked eye
299 actually, one time per year
USD a buy? Seems investors are buying before the news
False buy ๐
hey @noble crag
Sup man
Yeah scalped gold this morning for 59$ ๐
ah, the smc free indicator i cant tell, it changes value
I canโt risk 10 lots on scalping since my commission gonna eat my profits ๐
Coz itโs real time ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ OB gets mitigated so itโs changes accordingly
check this i rushed this trade on demo
how can the equlibream be that far away
its cacualting wrong
it should be from HH, LL
previous lower, Previous high
TF ?
cant be possible or im just ass minded
indeed
TF.
this does not make sense.
even the OB are wrong sometimes
@noble crag what do i do nick?
Time Frame of that chart
1 hour
up to 4 - 1 day
if i am going to enter
then its 15 minutes, 5 minutes etc
Which pair ?
Okay you should now that, every discount premium eq and OBs are different in every time frame
gold
ya i figured
It would not make sense for a 15m chart to show 4H OB, positions based on 15m TF would take ages to hit 4H OB so to speak
ah
please explain it to me xd
what about discounts and premium zones, its probably same, i think the indicator will be scanning, it probably does not have enough info to scan on higher time frames
And price usually donโt respect OB on smaller TF since the big move on Higher Time Frame usually mitigates through the small TF OBs so they donโt carry huge volume as of bigger OB on 4H or 1D
They are different
Like this, let's say you are looking at gold 15m, in a volatile day let's say gold can move 30 points from 2000 to 2030, 4H OB can be 100 points away ๐
Premium zone on 5Min Chart might be equilibrium for 1H chart
ah
so the lower the better for the indicator
or i just scroll through multiple timezones
Higher TF OBs are more respected
Just scroll through multime TF to determine where price can go, where it can stop etc.
Everything, while a 4H candle moving towards the OB that is 2-3 days away, in that very candle 2-4 15 min OB are bounced or broken
Like thatr
ah so thats why when i looked at tradingview when a price broke the OB it vanished
it meant that price is not respecting the OB?
Yeah, it might respect later tho who knows, it is market ๐
Price doesnโt care about OB on small time frame, the larger the time frame more OB are respected โ
now this looks right
they went below Equailbream
so what they did is that smc went to deep deep discount
we can see that at the weak low
am i right?
Also discount and premium can move so be careful they are not final, keep paper trading and studying I am sure you will get used to it
thansk @trim crystal i am also watching ICT mentorship 2016

Keep grinding mate it will click ๐
