📚 Intro to irrefutable truths we can know about the stock market

Enjoy. 🔑Bid/Ask

If you’re a new trader it’s okay to do one thing and get good at it!

From what #TheStrat tells us we have a few super simple ways to start out

1) Just sticking to the #MindTheGap list that @ElaineBenes99 posts every day.

📚Rules

- Only trade 2-2 or 1-2 signals
- Trade with daily continuity
- Use the 30/60 2) Stick to the simultaneous breaks across the 4 major indexes

When you get all 4 indexes inside on the 60min you now have an actionable signal primed across the whole market. When a few of those break in the same direction the rest should follow.

📚 Rules

Just the 60 inside bar break
Ideally buy all of the signals that trigger.

Stops can be widened to the 60 continuity level due to higher conviction

Strat concepts such as being stuck on the HTF or at exhaustion risk still apply!

Simultaneous 2-1-2 can turn into 1-2-2 reversal should things fail!

Best to not get out until these reverse against you on the 60 because when they go.. they go!

💡New Traders Struggle with THREE things. And I'm here to give you a simple solution to #3.

1) Not understanding who is in control of price.

When trading, it is super important to know the larger 'trend' or direction of the market. Even if you're trading a 5 minute chart. 2) Most people do not have a solid strategy of identifying WHERE price is headed.

Without knowing where the move may likely end you will have no idea when you should be taking profits or be trading in the COMPLETE wrong direction.

Ever had this happen?

A simple lesson in identifying your 'range' / 'broadening formation'

Must know what is a swing low or swing high we'd deem as important.

Here is a swing low

Yellow is the 'invalidation' of it if you were taking this hammer signal. This is also a swing low.

Just played some QQQ longs and took some vix poots on the vix 2H shooter.

Expecting ranging type of week and we just opened new quarter,mo,week,day etc. No reason to overstay a monday win. Also we don't really blast it out much but we do have a FREE side of the house at stratalerts.com/discord

In there most days when I'm able.

A thread for Stratters trying to understand ICT stuffs

A.M.D -> [Accumulation,Manipulation,Dist]
The creation of a broadening formation. You want that initial tiny consolidation then expansion in opposite direction of TimeFrameContinuity and find the reversal back down. Example $AMD [Funny enough..]

$NQ_F Pretty textbook look here. Of note is that it didn't shift structure. Personally don't think I'm staying up to play it

Orderblocks.

A thread on identifying which side of the market is winning. What is an orderblock?

A high probability orderblock in my definition is an aggressive move that gets reversed [box setup ;) ]

Looking for this aggression will keep you out of crappy choppy action and will keep you on the right side of the market 80-90% of the time.
Examples..

$ES_F m5 Next 'large' move heavily dependant on $DXY positioning in the near future.

$UUP $DXY / $PDBC , $CL_F , $GC_F

Macro View of the market & my personal thoughts. ( $UUP quarterly hammer = bullish bias)

A strengthening dollar is NOT good for the commodities industry & UUP was predictive from 2018 into the crash of commodities prices.

And in 2020 UUP marked the bottom for commodities with as the Covid crisis came underway.

WTF are those numbers on your charts @AlexsOptions ? Why are you saying that's the bottom?
What's a rev strat?
2-2 reversal? Looks like candles to me...
Pffft broadening formations? I want what you're smoking.

Any of my followers with those thoughts just read... #TheStrat What is TheStrat? It's @RobInTheBlack 's strategy he's developed over many years that uses 3 fundamental truths in price action. These are important because price CANNOT trade outside of the rules we're going to talk about meaning we know EXACTLY what is happening.
