▪️ What are they?

Moving average is nothing more than an average price of the last (value) of candles.

If we are gonna use an example of MA(50) it is gonna be the mean price of the last 50 candles

General rule:
Price above = Bullish 🐂
Price below = Bearish 🐻

2/20
▪️ Types of Moving Averages

1) Simple Moving Average - SMA
2) Exponential Moving Average - EMA
3) Smoothed Moving Average - SMMA
4) Volume Weighted Average Price - VWAP

There are a few more but these are the most important in my opinion.

3/20
I won't be going that much into detail about each of them in this thread but more so covering MAs in general.

The important takeaway is there are many methods of calculations and each offers bit different pros & cons

I'll leave experimenting with each of them up to you

4/20
▪️ Why are they such a powerful tool?

Because they help everyone, even newbies, that are just starting out, to easily & visually clearly identify trends without understanding the advanced Market Structure techniques.

Price above = 🐂

5/20

In my opinion, they are a must for everyone just starting out & even advanced traders

Make no mistake, even big hedge funds use MAs

And by following the rule of only taking trades in the direction of the trend it will improve your portfolio in a big way

Price below =🐻

6/20
▪️ How to properly use them?

The best technique is to use a good pair of two EMAs

One faster & one slower. In this example (50/100)

You can clearly see how much it would help us to identify the trend early & at the same time tell us when to avoid the market

7/20
You can use various combinations based on your style.

These ones I recommend.

Aggressive ones
(9/18)
(18/40)
(20/50)

Conservative ones
(50/100)
(50/200)
(100/200)

8/20
Aggressive ones are great for more immediate trend following whereas conservative ones are more for investing over a longer period of time.

It's not that one is better than the other it's more about which one suits your psychology better

9/20
Once you have established your desire EMAs you look to trade in the direction of the trend ONLY.

You either wait for a classic S/R or till the price is trading between the EMAs

The important thing is to have the patience to wait for it & follow the plan

10/20
▪️ My best SECRET EMA value?

I'm giving you my ALPHA value here for FREE and it's EMA 89 on the H1 TF

It's great for intraday scalps & short term trading

This EMA clearly shows the current trend and price has a big tendency to come back to it all the time.

11/20
I recommend using this Higher Timeframe EMA indicator in @tradingview made by ZenAndTheArtOfTrading

12/20
What it does, is that it allows you to switch between each timeframe while EMA is still set on the hourly

In this case M15 timeframe but using EMA 89 from the hourly.

You can clearly see, there is a magical number after all.

Use it well.

13/20
▪️ Which Timeframe to use?

As always, I highly recommend using the Daily & Weekly for the general directional bias.

However, you can use MAs on any timeframe.

And when you align Daily & Intraday MAs in a trend & only trade when the price is above, magic happens.

14/20
▪️ Advanced EMA technique?

Use one general trend divider EMA like (100) or (200)

Wait for the price to break above it.

If it finds momentum, the trend is established.

15/20
You then go and start adjusting the EMA value number so it touches the last point of the bounce before it found the momentum to continue to higher.

In this case, it is 29, in some cases, it will be 18 or 36 or w/e. Just find the point of touch

16/20
Once you have found this EMA, it will be the critical point till the trend momentum prevails.

You can either use it as a tool to see if the trend is still going or buy near the EMA

17/20
Works great everywhere even in the old $ALT / $BTC charts.

Requires a bit of work and patience but is another great tool.

18/20
Something to think about

Some people use more than two EMAs like three or four and some even use the Rainbow indicator

This can be helpful, however, I like to keep my charts clean and I think two EMA do the job just perfect

But as always, try & see what fit you the best

19/20
As with everything, this is not a holy grail but another great tool to use to spot the future markets moves and add to your probabilities

Here is the psychological truth about the #Bitcoin / #Crypto market 👇

The vast majority of market participants bought the top in 2021, whether the 1st or the 2nd. The exact price is unimportant for this post

🧵 Silent Read Time: 1 Min, 52 Sec Image
1) A decent portion of them sold the bottom, especially after the #FTX crash

Either from panic selling, multiplied by the fear spread on social media with posts such as:

EXIT ALL MARKETS or THE GREATEST RECESSION since THE GREAT DEPRESSION coming

The others from the greed of.. Image
..selling & buying back cheaper at lower prices

This was a prime example of the market going up thousands of % & yet people losing money on it

Those people are still waiting for a bigger pullback to buy cheap & will continue to do so & miss everything. Again.

You don't wanna miss this #Bitcoin alpha thread 🧵👀

#BTC around 50K is still within a strong value area

Lots of people sidelined, waiting for a bigger correction will miss out

Data from Financial Advisors across the US are suggesting big future upside

1/20

Read below👇 Image
First of all, I did expect we would get the upside we got from the 40-45K range, but after, I thought we would get a deeper pullback at some point to like 32K or so

I do not think that anymore

Below is the original thread worth your time to read through

One of the reasons I don't think so anymore is the Weekly Market Structure

In any chart, remember, that for the HTF directional bias, the most important tool is the W1 MS

With the latest move, we got ourselves a new HL & HH confirming that Image

BIG #BITCOIN ALPHA UPDATE 13/1/2024 🧵

No emotional bias, just truth bombs full of data & mainly my own context ✅

Both bullish & bearish arguments - HTF to LTF

Hit like & Bookmark to keep this plan in the back of your mind

Let's get to it 👇

1/25Image
We start HTF, scale in & create the valuable context 👇

So my thesis has been & is still the same throughout the whole of 2023, that we move above the so important psychological level of March 22 high, sitting at 48K, distribute above & pullback


Image
So the 48K level caused a reaction as expected but imo we move higher still to distribute & there are multiple reasons for it

1) We spent 500+ days accumulating sub 30K, such energy simply doesn't get distributed in 30 days. At minimum 120+ days

🧵 Big thread on INTEREST RATES around the Western economies & their future projections & implications on the markets

Everyone's focus is on the FED funds rate but by understanding all of them we get a much clearer picture of where the FED is heading 💡

Let's dive in 👇

1/22 Image
As you can see from the picture, central banks in Western economies tend to move the interest rates on average in a similar trend

We could even call it a consensus

However, some are frontrunners & some laggards and by comparing them all, we can get a general idea of the trend Image
Each economy has its own factors & issues that come to play in each country of course, which is the reason why we see some deviations here & there on a lower quarterly or yearly scale. But the general trend stays

So why is it that they all move together on average? 👇

What I often see people doing wrong is waiting for that "One last" - 🧵 THREAD - 1/9

- "One last" draw on liquidity
- "One last" equal lows sweep
- "One last" capitulation
- "One last" shakeout
- "One last" - you name it ✍️ Image
For example, one (in)famous trader called ICT kept waiting for BTC to sweep the 2015 HTF equal lows

He has been waiting for the #Bitcoin crash and the sweep since then

It has never come to this day Image
In 2018 the situation was very similar. People kept waiting for lower. For that FVG/Inefficiency fill. For that prior ATH retest

Still waiting Image

RISK to REWARD / COST to BENEFIT 📚

🧵 In-depth thread about this phenomenon, that can be used in various aspects of our lives. Not just in trading

This will IMPROVE your life 👇

1/25
Risk to reward, in shortcut RRR or just RR, is an amazing concept that we use every day without even realizing it

But it is exactly that realization, which you will learn here, that will help you identify & use it effectively

2/
This concept is mainly to realize that everything we do in our lives and every decision we take involves risk/cost

The RR ratio then calculates how much reward there is for such risk

It can also be described mathematically as 0,2:1 / 2:1 / 5:1 and so on
