Crypto - UPtober or HACKtober 🤔Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year. Daytime job - Math Teacher. 👩🏫 October is notorious for upward price action on Bitcoin, earning the title UPtober about two years ago. However, a new trend has begun - HACKtober. During this year, we see an increase number of hacking across the months but October has been the month with the most hacks and the most liquidity stolen. After 4 hacks within the last 48 hours, October is now the month with the biggest hacking statistically, and there is another 15 days to go. According to Chainanalysis, $718 million is accounted for to be stolen from DeFi protocols across 11 different hacks. At this rate, 2022 will surpass 2021 as the biggest year for hacking on record. So far this year, over $3 Billion accounted for has been hacked across 125 hacks. During 2019, most hackers targeted exchanges. Now, the biggest targets are DeFi protocols. Cross-chain bridges remain a major target, with 3 breached tis month accounting for 82% of all losses this month and 64% of all losses this year. Let's discuss a few ways to minimize your risk when investing in this wild west market: 🖐 - Research the team. Perhaps the single most important success factor for any ICO or cryptocurrency is the developers and administrative team behind the project. The cryptocurrency space is dominated by major names, with superstar developers like Ethereum ETHUSDT founder Vitalik Buterin capable of making or breaking new projects simply by having their names listed on a development team. For that reason, it's increasingly common for scammers to invent fake founders and biographies for their projects. 🖐 - Check the whitepaper. The whitepaper should lay out the background, goals, strategy, concerns, and timeline for implementation for any blockchain-related project. Whitepapers can be incredibly revealing: companies that have a flashy website may reveal they lack a fundamentally sound concept. On the other hand, a company with a website containing spelling errors may have a whitepaper that indicates a rock-solid concept and a carefully conceived implementation plan. 🖐 - It it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The idea of getting rich quick on an investment in a hot new project sure is tempting. Keep an eye out as you look for new investment opportunities in the ICO and cryptocurrency spaces. Remember that projects sounding too good to be true , likely are. Spend time scrutinizing every detail, and assume that the absence of a piece of crucial information may be an attempt to hide an unsound model or concept. Look for outside sources to verify the legitimacy of any project before making an investment. Ask questions that you can't already find the answers to. 💭 Whilst I remain bullish on Crypto, the above does reveal a worrisome trend for decentralized finance. Like this, DeFi still has a long way to go in terms of security. Hopefully the SEC case against Ripple will provide more clarity in terms of regulations and responsibility going ahead. _______________________ 📢Follow us here on TradingView for daily updates and trade ideas on crypto , stocks and commodities 💎Hit like & Follow 👍 We thank you for your support !

HAVE YOU TICKED THE BOXES!?!? PLAN/RISK/EXECUTEIts simple.. fail to plan, plan to fail, just a few things that a plan includes are entry and exit rules, any rules that you can add to control your behaviour behind the chart, set times to trade, your strategy and the list goes on depending on the trader... a risk management strategy also ties into your plan, for me risk is the game changer in becoming a consistent trader. In your risk strategy you should have what your comfortable losing each trade, where to place stops, lot sizes, your leverage amounts to stick to your total risk each trade.. a strategy in place will ease the mind and give you a lot more control when in positions. Of course you need reasons for entering the trade.. how many confluences do you have? time frames? does it fit my trading strategy? is this my decision not based solely off someone else opinion... there a many questions to ask yourself without getting to confused... the market as I've always said is a hard way to make easy money, most will fail but the ones that want to learn and put the time and work in can succeed. Anyway hope everyone smashes it this week!!

Secret Key to Becoming a Disciplined TraderDiscipline is the hardest trait to become good at in trading. We need it in analyzing charts and news updates as well as being aware of risk management and psychology. It's difficult to keep track of all those all at once. It can overwhelm us to become impatient and not aware of our mental and emotional states. Which results in poor performance. I was in that phase in my life for 4 years straight. No coach was on my side guiding me through the journey. I had to teach myself everything that makes a person become a successful trader. It was tough, especially mastering the mental and emotional side of the game. Not being aware of those two and how to improve them is what led to consistent failure. But when I began studying and applying what profitable traders do to be successful, I became one of them. It was hard though. I had to change my internal monarchy by facing my demons and tearing down old limiting beliefs. I used various techniques to make that happen. The results were astonishing. I became more mindful and self-aware. I understood my emotional nature, which allowed me to be quick to spot and tone down bad emotions. I did the following to achieve that results: 1. Journaling. It is a process of recording the what, why, and how behind the trade as well as your thoughts and emotions before, during, and after the trade. Doing this will keep a record for you to reflect on in the future when you want to improve your performance. That feedback will raise your self-awareness which will protect you from sabotaging your trading performance. 2. Meditating. It is a mental exercise that trains the brain to be mindful and self-aware of your emotional triggers and behaviors that disrupt your performance. Moreover, it will allow you to improve your focus levels for a trading session. So, every day, sit quietly on your chair with your back straight and your eyes closed, then focus on your breathing pattern for 10-15 minutes. 3. Breathing. I know you can breathe, but I bet you that your breathing is incorrect. Most people breathe through their mouths, which is wrong because the air doesn't get to the brain. The air we breathe through our nose releases certain chemicals in the brain that makes it awake and calm. It also does other things in the body that helps control it when fight/flight emotions trigger. Breathing techniques allow us to gauge those triggers during the trading session. Thus, whenever you tap into a negative state, stop and sit back on your chair, then do the following 4-7-8 breathing exercise. Inhale on the count of 4. Hold your breath on the count of 7. Then exhale on the count of 8. Do this 3-5 times.

Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō Wave Theory Introduction and Indicator BasicsIchimoku Kinkō Hyō Wave Theory Introduction and Indicator Basics Cheat Sheet. Note that there are 5 Waves in the Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō System. 1: I Wave 2: V Wave 3: N Wave 4: P Wave 5: Y Wave I Wave = 1 directional movement in price up or down over a period of time. V Wave = 2 directional movements in price over a period of time so 1 direction movement up over a period of time and 1 directional movement down over a period of time. Or 1 directional movement down over a period of time and 1 directional movement up over a period of time. Note that a V Wave is made from 2 I Waves. N Wave = 3 movements in price over a period of time so 1 price movement up over a period of time, 1 shorter price movement down over a period of time and 1 longer price movement back up over a period of time. Or 1 price movement down over a period of time, 1 shorter price movement up over a period of time and 1 longer price movement back down over a period of time. Note that an N Wave is made from 3 I Waves. P Wave = 2 Converging trend-lines. The P Wave is similar to the Bullish/Bearish Pennant but note that with the Ichimoku P Wave it does not matter the amount of times that the price hits the upper and lower trend-lines. Y Wave = 2 Diverging trend-lines. The Y Wave is similar to the Bullish/Bearish Inverted Triangle Pattern or Megaphone Pattern but note that with the Ichimoku Y Wave it does not matter the amount of times that the price hits the upper and lower trend-lines. Please look at the above chart if this all sounds a little confusing and it will all become clear. For those interested, the 3 basic and most important Waves I, V and N are used in Ichimoku Price Theory for both Negative and Positive price directions. V Calculation: V = B + (B-C) for Positive and V = B - (C-B) for Negative. N Calculation: N = C + (B-A) for Positive and N = C - (A-B) for Negative. E Calculation: E = B + (B-A) for Positive and E = B - (A-B) for Negative. NT Calculation: NT = C + (C-A) for Positive and NT = C - (A-C) for Negative. Here is a post with some examples of the Ichimoku Price Theory in action. Back to Basics for those who are new to The Ichimoku Kinkō Hyō. Note that i’ll be using the original Ichimoku settings 9,26,52,26 in this write up but not on the actual chart. The Ichimoku Cloud is comprised of 5 indicators, The Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen), The Base Line (Kijun Sen), The Leading Span A (Senkou Span A), The Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) and the The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) with 3 areas of interest, the Bullish Zone, The Bearish Zone and the Equilibrium Zone. The Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) is the midpoint of the last 9 Period highs and 9 Period lows in whatever timeframe you are in. As well as being a potential support or resistance level, the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) also gives you a sense of potential short-term price momentum in whatever timeframe you are in as well as potential reversals. So if the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) is pointing either upwards, sideways or downwards, then this gives you a sense of what the short-term price momentum is in whatever timeframe you are in. Note that the Tenkan Sen is not an SMA or EMA and should not be treated as such. The Base Line (Kijun Sen) is the midpoint of the last 26 Period highs and 26 Period lows in whatever timeframe you are in. As well as being a potential support or resistance level, the Base Line (Kijun Sen) also gives you sense of potential mid-term price momentum in whatever timeframe you are in as well as confirmation of a trend change if the Tenkan Sen crosses under the Kijun Sen. So if the Base Line (Tenkan Sen) is pointing either upwards, sideways or downwards, then this gives you a sense of what the mid-term price momentum is in whatever timeframe you are in. Note that the Kijun Sen is not an SMA or EMA and should not be treated as such. The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is a momentum indicator and also a 2nd confirmation indicator that enables you to see potential trend changes. The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is the current price shifted 26 periods in the past. If the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) indicator is above where the price was at 26 periods ago then that is considered an uptrend for the timeframe you are in. If the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) indicator is below where the price was at 26 periods ago then that is considered a downtrend for the timeframe you are in. A Bullish and Bearish confirmation signal can be seen if the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) indicator crosses up (Bullish) or under (Bearish) for that previous 26 period price respectively, but also using the other indicators as confirmation. If the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is inside the previous Price from 26 Periods ago, then that is considered sideways trading, choppy or trend-less. The Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) is a Leading momentum indicator and is calculated from the Conversion and Base Line values. Note that the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) is plotted 26 Period into the future and identifies future areas of support and resistance. The Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) is calculated using double the periods of 26 so 52 Periods and is again plotted 26 Periods into the future and also identifies future areas of support and resistance. The Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) & Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) make up the Cloud (Kumo). If the Cloud (Kumo) is green, that indicates we are potentially in a Bullish Trend for that timeframe. If the Cloud (Kumo) is red, that indicates we are potentially in a Bearish Trend for that timeframe. The area above the cloud is the Bullish Zone & the area below the cloud is the Bearish Zone. The area Inside of the cloud is the Equilibrium Zone, which can be seen as trend-less, uncertainty or trading sideways. A key move to look out for is if the Leading Spans A,B are Crossing/Twisting from either a green cloud into a red cloud or vice versa to indicate a trend reversal for the timeframe you are in. Note the Cloud (Kumo) can be Red or Green while the price action is in the Equilibrium Zone depending on if it dipped down or up into the Cloud (Kumo). Note that because we dip downwards outside of the Cloud (Kumo) that doesn’t mean the Cloud will turn red because we may rebound before the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) gets a chance to cross Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) and vice versa. If the Cloud (Kumo) is thin pointing upwards or downwards then this is a good sign of momentum. When the Cloud (Kumo) starts getting wider, that means momentum is slowing down. An important thing to note is that the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) & Base Line (Kijun Sen) are not SMA’s or EMA’s they are X amount high/low calculated period midpoints, so they should not be used as SMA or EMAs. I hope this basic quick introduction is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.

Bullish and bearish engulfing candles concept Educational Series Price Action concept series Engulfing pattern Engulfing means to coverup small thing with larger thing. It is a pattern which shows counter attack made by bulls or bears. Bullish Engulfing Whenever the entire of body red candles(Bear) is covered by Big green candle(Bull) then it is called Bullish engulfing candle. This pattern shows presence of bulls in market and bear are completely trapped. Significance of this candles generally seen when instrument is at crucial support or in bull territory where price has bottomed. Bearish Engulfing Whenever the entire of body green candles(Bull) is covered by Big red candle(Bear) then it is called Bearish engulfing candle. This pattern shows presence of bears in market and bulls are completely trapped. Significance of this candles generally seen when instrument is at crucial resistance or in bear territory where price has top.

ETH - Wyckoff Method : What's Next?Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year. Daytime job - Math Teacher. 👩🏫 In today's analysis, I'll be giving out LOADS of free information🎁. We'll study the ETHUSDT chart by using the Wyckoff Method. Trying to understand the market and it's movements may seem futile, however Richard Wyckoff identified a pattern that could easily be translated as bullish cycles, bearish cycles, and the two brief phases that happens before each. Just before a bull cycle (markup), we have accumulation . Now this may take months or even years. Then, just before the bear cycle (markdown), we see distribution phase. This is very evident across all markets - the price cannot simply go up / go down forever! So what can we do with this information? Have the courage to follow the market cycle. To make the cycles a little more clear, here it is on a macro perspective on Bitcoin: The accumulation phase makes for THE BEST place to have scattered buying orders, in other words follow the dollar cost average method. Not familiar with this method? Check out this detailed educational masterclass: With this chart, I propose my idea of a potential Ethereum ETH bottom by using the Wyckoff Method .The Wyckoff Method can be extremely technical and complicated, with many phases, sub-phases, sub sub phases etc. The four main phases of the market cycle are accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown . From the BTC chart I posted above, we can clearly see that we have been trading in the accumulation cycle for a while now. However, we have NOT YET BOTOMMED. Here are some terms and definitions you may find helpful: SC—selling climax - the point at which widening spread and selling pressure usually climaxes and heavy or panicky selling by the public is being absorbed by larger professional interests at or near a bottom. Often price will close well off the low in a SC , reflecting the buying by these large interests. AR—automatic rally - which occurs because intense selling pressure has greatly diminished. A wave of buying easily pushes prices up; this is further fueled by short covering. The high of this rally will help define the upper boundary of an accumulation TR. ST—secondary test - in which price revisits the area of the SC to test the supply/demand balance at these levels. If a bottom is to be confirmed, volume and price spread should be significantly diminished as the market approaches support in the area of the SC . It is common to have multiple STs after a SC . What I'd be looking out for at this point, is a potential macro W-Bottom pattern to confirm the low volume selloff phase : Consider this quote : "Successful tape reading is a study of force, it requires ability to judge which side has the greatest pulling power and one must have the courage to go with that side." Richard Wyckoff understood that speculating markets is more than just analysis - you also need the courage to follow through on your analysis. _______________________ 📢Follow us here on TradingView for daily updates and trade ideas on crypto , stocks and commodities 💎Hit like & Follow 👍 We thank you for your support !
