A little snippet into a current trade of mine right now - $DOT
A mini day trade thread:
- First open the chart and assess the Price Action
- What we see is some previous market structure broken per the rectangle
- We've also now had 4 taps of support here
Now we set up our HTF fibs as shown, and then also check the volume
- Note that there was a large amount of volume to support the larger move, with much lower volume now where price is trading
- We've hit the 0.618 fib of a higher time frame &clearly seen some rejection
- Based on the move, we should now build a narrative
- History has doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme
We can call this move a bear flag at the moment, and the key thing is to recognize how price reacts as the 0.382 fib level of a bear flag
- Note the ellipses shown here for reference
Now to check out some Volume Profile:
We're at the VaH of the VPVR - in a parallel channel we usually short at the tops of these, so there would have been a lot of selling interest here, coupled with the 0.618 hit of the overall HTF
When carrying out TA, you've got to build confluence. Here is how I would build this $BTC trade:
1st Pic - VPVR tool on TV shows we are at Value Area High of the recent price action
Second image introduces a parallel channel to the mix
We usually short at the highs of the channel, and long at the lows, taking profit or closing trades at the mid line (this works until it doesn't - you will end up losing a trade doing this in each channel)
Third image introduces HTF fibs into the mix
Note how well these levels are respected when pulled from the swing low of the move to the swing high
Sick of getting stopped out, taking a shitty entry, or generally feel like you gettin your arse whooped in trading?
If so, you’re in luck my friends - I’ve knocked up this whizz bang, you beaut thread for you:

Fibonacci
I’m primarily a Fibonacci trader. I use them for every single trade I take. The value they offer is the best there is in my opinion as a primary tool for assessing a trade (you still need confluence to enter a trade though!)
Here are the settings I use.
