END OF THE TRADING MONTH OF FEB TODAY Imho trader’s MIGHT be best & kindest to ourselves if we formulate our mindset as … NO FOMO In the end the market can present us the same (well similar) mechanics each day. Why? Well (in my opinion) because it HAS TO. If only to deal with the aggregation of buy/sell balances AT THE TIME. Therefore, lol When a trader will lose (a trade) it is ‘rarely’ imo because of the market (as it is only doing ‘its’ own thing, over & over) Big Shakeups occur intermittently to a recent & regular...
I'm reflecting about it and it makes sense.

People already assumed market is manipulated to some extent...

Yet they still chose to enter at awkward areas...

then when their stop loss is hit, they blame the "manipulators"...when in fact they already assumed the manipulator's existence (and should cover their "manipulative move")

So, the better approach here might be to just wait...

It now feels like people who trade a little later (after the "manipulation"), has a better chance.

You got a lot of experience here Mr. T. I am enjoying your essays.

Forget about it. Most people here do not know what they are talking about and assume a lot of things.

That is a painting style by Piet Mondrian with an imprinted price to show you perhaps that the market has recurring patterns, trends, and key levels.

Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) was a Dutch painter known for his role in the De Stijl art movement. He developed a distinctive abstract style using geometric shapes, primarily rectangles and squares, and a limited color palette of red, blue, yellow, black, and white. His work, such as Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow, influenced modern design, architecture, and minimalism.

What are you doing this weekend?

Every weekend’s your time to grind and put some distance between you and the competition.

In the context of this game/trading/business its all gas an no breaks

Swing the AXE..HARD w/ Effort, Consistency and Patience

GBPJPY

Quite an interesting day on the GJ yesterday, firstly during Asia, then the Franky / London (fake) dip and then its wild ride then into New York,
after which price returned back to the Day Open and finally completed a massive Bermuda to the London Open line some 260 pips lol from the NY Open
(while I was sleeping, of course )

Today we have Mr U at an IMF event, in Japan in just over 3 hrs, doing the opening remarks immediately after some soft Pound news first.
MrU is not really known for his mentioning any hard or specific actions in regards to his currency, in his talks, while I still could see I guess the market utilising such an appearance to move the currency around. But who really knows, not me, probably just an observer till it all settles (unless they might give an opportunity to get in after some mechanics move at some appropriate time ).

Trade yen pairs safely (as always) & then trade em well
(spesh in Asia today perhaps, who knows, though probably always lol ).

I managed to snag +20p (net) in Asia, in between the mechanics of the two confluences Prior London Open & RN250
(but missing its start a little and then getting out just before completion)

Asia might be over for me now, will see what it looks like in an hour, else back for pre-Franky/London and see what they have been up to

Trade safe folks

Just they gave another opportunity at another trader attractor area is all
Not confident now in the short term, either direction lol, back for Franky
It's tricky, but it's fairly logical, in between the waves

We've got a Cat 2 Cyclone hovering just east off our coastline, with the eye lined up with Brissie.
Computer modelling suggests it may cross land tomorrow am.
Most wind damage would be south of the eye.
All the coast would get severe downpours they say.
Batten down .

Yesterday was a tighter patten on the GJ chart (less volatility).
Still, the mechanics were the same allowing some handy trades.

Trade safe, trade well all

Cheers all.
Got nothing at all yet. Actually got all my washing dry out on the clothesline today. In the sun ffs.
It's just gonna be infratructure if it crosses as a C1 in the end or a Low pressure system as the roads & drains don't cope with the excess water.
I'm on high enough ground, a lot of Brisbane isn't though.
Been enough advance warning for everyone to have made preps. Maybe it blows across as nothing dramatic in the end hopefully.

Choose any confluences of areas of trader interest (ie attractors) of your own that you wish for yourself.
Confirmation of useability would be then if price meanders/drives to those areas, day in & day out.


Liquidity comes in (new orders)
Liquidity exits (TP or SL)
Daily business imho


Trade safe, trade well all

Cyclone "Alfred" crossed land this morning and has been downgraded to a tropical low so big wet weather ahead but hopefully no larger problems for those folk further south than me at the Gold Coast & northern NSW who took the brunt. Some won't get power restored for six days but no direct loss of lives thankfully.

The markets knew nothing of any of this and just did what they know how to do. Again.
Trade safe folks, and trade well & thanks for those good wishes, much appreciated.

ps George touched base yesterday enquiring, he's still doing his own thing outside of trading and is well & happy he reports.
So a timely reminder of his targets, targets, targets & Herd mentality lineups
