What A Way To End The Year As Well As The TrendOANDA:GBPUSD This has to be the best idea am dropping hear on trading view so far, because of it's risk to reward ratio, which is over 1:10, highly rewarding. And it just looks unassuming 🤦‍♂️😎 Lets analyze, looking at the 1D timeframe, a more responsible timeframe to look out to in a Daily or intra day trade of a bearish currency pair (GBPUSD), the last two long red candlesticks evolves from the last created resistance zone, leaving those fair value gaps behind, and as well as unmitigated. When the fair value gap is filled to the immediate supply or resistance zone by the buyers, as we can currently see them riding on the pullback, we expect to market to drastically continue the trend, thereby making us a new lower low. In other words, a lower timeframe is required to see clearly the structures produced by the sellers, ofwhich placing your entry on the last created and unmitigated structure, and your stop loss slightly above it's lower high minimizes your risk and maximizes the return. An instance on the 30Min timeframe of GBPUSD, same timeframe where the liquidity is clearly visible as well, when the pullback breaks through the trend line(liquidity) into the demand zone, the downtrend just irresistibly continues until it makes a new lower low. Remember if you can't see the liquidity, then you're the liquidity. Peace 🕊️💯

Your Real Chances of Succeeding as a Forex TraderYou’ve probably heard the claim that 95% of traders fail to make money in the markets. This statement is repeated endlessly across the internet, creating fear and doubt for many aspiring traders. However, this widely circulated myth is not backed by solid evidence or reliable statistics. In reality, it’s a generalized assumption based on flawed logic that discourages new traders from reaching their full potential. Let’s unpack this myth and explore your real chances of succeeding as a Forex trader with a logical, evidence-based discussion. By the end of this, you’ll feel more confident and ready to approach trading with the right mindset. Understanding Success in Forex Trading A critical question for any trader is: What are the chances of making consistent profits in Forex without being a full-time professional? It’s important to recognize that while some traders lose money, others consistently make profits. Consistency over the long term is what separates successful traders from the rest. However, being a “professional” trader is not a prerequisite for success. The myth that “95% of traders fail” doesn’t mean 95% never make money. Many traders are profitable part-time, focusing on steady growth rather than aiming for professional status right away. Focus on Realistic Goals One of the biggest mistakes new traders make is trying to become professional traders too quickly. This approach often leads to overtrading, excessive risk-taking, and emotional decision-making. Instead, your initial goal should be to make consistent profits on a monthly basis. Start by aiming for profitability each month. Once you achieve this, you can gradually raise your targets—weekly profitability, then scaling up your account and trading frequency. This progression not only builds your skills but also instills the discipline required for long-term success. Why Realistic Expectations Improve Your Trading Setting achievable goals gives you an emotional advantage. By not pressuring yourself to become a professional immediately, you reduce the likelihood of over-leveraging or overtrading. Without the emotional burden of relying on trading as your sole income source, you can focus on refining your strategies and improving your decision-making. When you detach emotionally from your trades and manage risk effectively, you put yourself in a better position to succeed. In fact, statistics show that the percentage of traders who make consistent monthly profits is likely closer to 20-30%, far higher than the often-cited 5%. The Power of Risk-Reward and Strategy To succeed in Forex trading, you need to understand risk-reward ratios and develop a high-probability trading edge. Let’s break this down: Risk-Reward Ratios A 1:1 risk-reward ratio requires a 50% win rate to break even. A 1:2 ratio only requires a 33% win rate to break even. A 1:3 ratio allows you to break even with just a 25% win rate. The higher your risk-reward ratio, the fewer trades you need to win to stay profitable. This highlights the importance of letting your winning trades outpace your losing ones. High-Probability Trading Edge A sound strategy, like price action trading, increases your chances of making profitable trades. Random entries will likely result in break-even performance, but combining a solid strategy with effective risk-reward management shifts the odds in your favor. Steps to Improve Your Odds of Success To increase your chances of becoming a successful trader: Master Risk Management: Understand how to manage your capital effectively to minimize losses. Learn a Proven Strategy: Focus on mastering a high-probability trading strategy, such as price action. Set Realistic Goals: Aim for consistent monthly profits rather than rushing to become a professional. Trade Part-Time First: Start small and trade part-time. Over time, scale up as your skills and account balance grow. Focus on Quality, Not Quantity: Trade less but aim for higher-quality setups. Final Thoughts Becoming a profitable trader is not unattainable. By setting realistic goals and avoiding the pressure to go full-time too quickly, you greatly increase your chances of success. Start by mastering a strategy like price action trading and combine it with disciplined money management. Success in Forex trading comes from within—it’s about controlling emotions, managing risks, and having a solid plan. If you focus on trading part-time with consistency, you’ll be surprised at how quickly your trading can turn profitable. Take it step by step, and remember: the journey to success in Forex trading is a marathon, not a sprint.

#012 DCA GBPUSD SellI took positions in two different products. First, the CADCHF and second, the GBPUSD. I have no idea if they are correlated in anyway. I took the two products because they do not have the same currency. On the 1H Time Frame, it is clear that price is retracing back to the 60SMA. I do not actively seek for such confluences, but rather, if they occur, I take note of it. We shall see what would happen next. 1135SGT 25112024 If price goes against our intended direction, then there's the limit sell order for drawdown recovery. If price goes beyond the 1st Sell Limit, then we will see how we could at least breakeven. 1136SGT 25112024

GBP/USD: Downtrend Holds Firm, Key Support in SightThe GBP/USD pair is trading around 1.2557, maintaining its downward trajectory as it fails to reclaim the resistance level at 1.2592. The pair continues to face selling pressure, with the prevailing downtrend keeping momentum in favor of the bears. Immediate focus now shifts to the critical support zone near 1.2500, where some temporary buying interest may emerge. However, a break below this level could pave the way for further declines toward 1.2450, with the broader target potentially at 1.2400. Any short-term pullbacks into the resistance range of 1.2592–1.2650 are expected to attract renewed selling pressure. The 50-period moving average also reinforces this zone as a significant barrier to any bullish attempts. With bearish momentum firmly in control, GBP/USD presents opportunities for sellers to capitalize on short positions while monitoring for key breakouts below the 1.2500 support level.

GBPUSDThe USD has been dominating across all USD pairs, driven by positive economic news out of the US and weaker numbers from the EU. The question is whether this momentum will continue, leading to further downside for pairs like GBP/USD and EUR/USD, or if we'll witness a complete USD dump as we head into 2025. Interestingly, many retail traders are looking for long positions, believing that GBP and EUR are oversold. The big question is: Will large institutions take advantage of this sentiment, potentially trapping retail traders before continuing the downtrend?

a clear vision why i take trade that i might lossSo let's talk. So basically, I believe if you know the price going own or up you can follow it. But to mark it you need a high and low. Just like that but the hard part is to find the high and low. o if you find a higher time frame high or low. You can see the market going up or down. I find the higher time frame high I suppose and by finding it I can find the market direction. But I am not talking about an entry in the HTF. So I am taking ltf entry ( not verification). In every impulse move of HTF, there is a lower time frame trend. So I am trading the LTF trend. in this case a downtrend. But the trick part is, if I fail the LTF entry I will short based on the HTF downtrend. So you can see the marking is all LTF. Enjoy my 50:50 trade were I didn't verify the LTF entry using a 3 or 1 minute time frame.

GBP/USD Longs from this weekly demand This week, my analysis suggests that GU is likely to experience a bullish reaction from its current position. Price is sitting within a key weekly demand zone and has already surpassed the 50% retracement mark, signaling a potential area for long opportunities. At the current level, there is a 1-hour demand zone nearby, with another demand zone just below it. I plan to watch for price accumulation in these areas, particularly to take out the weekly low. Once that occurs, I’ll look for my lower time frame confirmation to enter long positions. My primary target will be the Asian session high near the supply zone above. Confluences for GBP/USD Longs: - Liquidity Targets: Significant liquidity rests above, including the Asian session high. - Supply Zone Mitigation: A strong supply zone above has yet to be mitigated. - Retracement Setup: The bearish trend suggests the need for a retracement upward. - Imbalances Above: Price has left clear imbalances that need to be filled. - Weekly Demand Zone: Price is currently reacting within a high-probability weekly demand area. P.S.: If price opens the week with bullish momentum but doesn’t provide a clear entry setup, I’ll shift my focus to the mitigation of the supply zone above. This would present potential sell opportunities to continue the broader bearish trend.
