After 16 years in the markets, this book gave me fresh insights on discipline, resilience, and self-mastery—key elements that can make or break your trading success. Marcus Aurelius...

You know the feeling. You place a trade, and instead of it taking off in your favor, it immediately starts slipping into the red. It happens almost every time, especially if you’re a swing trader. And for some, this drawdown can last for days, weeks, or even months. Whether you're a day trader dealing with quick losses, a swing trader battling long-term dips,...

The big day has arrived: the first Fed rate cut. The burning question is, will it be 0.25% or 0.5%? In recent days, the markets have been leaning toward a 0.50% cut. Could this be the catalyst for a breakdown below the critical 100 level in the USDX? Let’s break down the charts and find out. Looking at the weekly charts, the 100 level has been a solid support...

Are we about to see a double bottom reversal, or will price break down again? Going back to my idea posted in December 2023 (see related post), we had a great buying opportunity on the dip below 0.94, followed by a strong rally towards parity, falling just 80 pips short. That upward move ended in May, and since then, the price has broken down again, with last...

Is GBPUSD setting up for a massive reversal, or are we on the brink of one final explosive push above 1.31? We've seen quite a rally this month with GBPUSD, as it cleanly broke through the 1.30 level this week, climbing above 1.31 yesterday and hitting a 2023 high, which is now acting as resistance. So, what's next? At 1.313, we've reached last year’s high,...

Is the EURUSD on the verge of a major breakout, or are we heading for another disappointing retreat? Once again, we’re sitting above the 1.10 zone, and the price has moved into the upper range territory. Since early 2023, EURUSD has been stuck in a weekly range between 1.05 and 1.104, with only one quick rally to 1.12 that was quickly faded. Are we finally...

"Know Thyself.’ This ancient Greek wisdom has echoed through time, and over the years in the markets, I’ve realized it holds the key to trading success. But most traders learn this lesson the hard way, often after years of frustration, losses, and self-doubt. To become a successful trader, you must truly know yourself. The saying "know thyself," inscribed at...

This pair is shaping up to be one of my favorite trade setups: the trendline break and retest of the level/zone that broke the trendline. Looking at the Monthly chart below, we’ve seen a significant downtrend for nearly two years that ended in February this year. At that time, I posted a buy setup, buying dips under 0.57 and targeting the 0.60 level as the first...

This pair has surged over the past few weeks, nearing last year’s high at 2.158 and approaching several key high timeframe (HTF) levels. First, we have the 2020 spike high, which reached the monthly SUPPLY/SELL zone created in June 2016. As shown in the chart below, just above that zone is the 61.8 FIB level from the Brexit decline that began in August...

As per my last trade idea on this pair we got the dip back down under the 1.73 mark and are now well inside the Monthly SELL zone fast approaching the 1.78 mark were I mentioned that the market may target (see related post) So, what's next? Over the coming days and weeks, it’s likely we’ll see a sell-off for this pair. On the weekly charts, the 1.775 level is...

The Yen has been getting hammered across the board lately, and there’s no telling how far these pairs can go long-term. However, in every strong uptrend, buyers eventually take profits, allowing the market to dip and providing opportunities to re-enter at better levels. This scenario seems likely for NZDJPY. We've just popped above a key Monthly resistance...

Price has already surpassed last month’s high this week. So, what’s next? The most logical next target for bulls is the 1.50 resistance, a...
