$XMR - Short the week - It should bounce back around $105 *SMT**SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading. First, SMT does not believe that triangles, wedges , trendlines , channels, harmonics, etc. has any effect on how price reacts. I'm Sorry, but you won't convince me that Bitcoin knows it has created a triangle and that it knows how to react from that? It does and will remember price levels, that's it. The second is to recognize that the price is not random, it is set by an algorithm controlled by those that control the asset. The Third thing to remember is price will move toward attacking where there is Liquidity (Equal Highs, Equal Lows, phantom Trendlines etc.) and Balance (Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Voids.) That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas.* As XMR just finished creating the Break of Structure on the low side and came up short of breaking the structure on the high side, it appears that this was just a runned attempt at a bearish order block to be rejected back down into the last 4 hour fair value gap area. I marked the weekly consequential encroachment (Half of the weekly FVG, $121-122) and entered short there....As it's rejected it starts to head toward the bottom of the 4 hour FVG which is also a confluence at the 79-80% which is where most rebounds happen. and that number is 104-105 as an opening. On this one I could go either way but the earlier I enterered the less of % wager I would press and low leverage. The later the stage it gets the later you enter the more you can wager and add leverage. And taking from the smart money playbook the earlier and sharper the price rises during the week , the more it will fall as the week goes on. Low possibly being on Friday or Saturday, looking for it to get around 105 by then. If you watch the analysis week by week, It's an obvious pattern. WEEK 1: WEEK 2: WEEK 3: Current Week: Good luck and happy trading.

EURUSD ICT OTE Entry, Short sells with logical approaches HTFthe chart basically says it all, Not much for me to expand on here, I believe / hope I am at the point in my trading and studies on this system where I can safely simplify. I hope this marks progress for me in as much as, I can now explain the theory (I believe) ICT is teaching, Loosely of course as OTE was my first venture and now I am expanding my knowledge with the new material. To put it simply I want to see several things happening that line up and present me with a Low risk, High reward entry. IF the HTF Bias is in the direction of the trade and THEN The market moves against the higher move And 1. Sweeps liquidity taking highs or lows 2. Hits an optimal trade retracement of a recent impulse leg (A relevant leg) 3. (this isnt a must but its a bonus) Hits a big figure or mid figure clean number 4. Shows signs of reversal, Displacement, breaks of inside structure, Reversal stages or counter trend exhaustion. THEN: I am presented a low risk opportunity within the confinements of time, This is usually within the LON NY session. With a logical target that I can justify an expectaton of price movement to. THEN I can trade. . . . If you just back test that, you will not only discover positive results, You will start reading the tape and plotting the story while looking at the chart as evidence, This is a superior understanding. This is what I search for, understanding, Knowledge, accuracy in prediction. That's much more that a profitable trade.

OTE entry EURUSD Daily 8RRA trade using the theories of ICT the inner circle trader based on the "optimal Trade entry" as well as other ICT concepts. Studying the tape from the top down can set up options and high reward opportunities, the higher time frame always dictates the bigger picture, Once you grasp how to read a tape from the top down you wont panic when price starts correcting on a trend, Its then easy to see how things are setting up to respect the HTF. Go study, 2022 Mentorship is live and if you haven't started it you have a lot of material to catch up on. the more love we show this guy the more we will receive in return by way of information and knowledge. Get after it, its not easy gaining the knowledge to do this, or developing the discipline to make sacrifices, But once you have it, No one can take it from you. Game face.

TLDR; Entry: 32,100 Stop Loss: 33,080 Take Profit: 28,000 After placing a Fib on the Current Wave, It became clear that we may be headed lower.... again. My Mentorship taught me to think of weekly profiles and how weekly candles form. The rush up just seemed like a wick for the week. Then I pulled the fib and noticed that the Discount price was at the exact line for the large Fair Value Gap (Imbalance) below. Additionally, I went to Barchart.com and looked at the Commitment of Traders report to find that Commercial traderds have reported additional net shorts than previously recorded. That was my first tip that Bitc could be going down as of Yesterday. I still Have my Analysis that BTC will get to 21,400. But for now, let's take baby steps and look to se if 28,000 first.

$ZEC - Retracing to Bullish OB Then Attack Liquidity Above *SMT**SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading.

That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas. TLDR; Entry: 92.3-92.5 Stop Loss: (88.5-89.2 Depending on Broker and how much your willing to give up below the Bullish Order Block) Take Profit 1: 96.3-96.4 20-25% of profit removed here (Move SL to 90) Take Profit 2: 97.4-97.6 (Bulk of the trade off here up to 85%-98% of the trade, move stop into break even) Take Profit 3: 99.5-99.6 (127% Extension meets the Fair Value Gap Above the equal highs/Liquidity Line On the Hourly it appears that after price had broker the structure of the lower dealing range, it retraced back down to the breaker of that range and continued up until it hit equal highs with the price before th major drop off. These equal high are creating artificial Liquidity meaning that most traders who see the equal highs automatically think "Resistance" It may be met with some resistance but smart money or Institutional traders know that there are retail traders that have their shorts sitting there with, most likely, a short stop loss.... Or a buy stop with a short stop loss. I see this everytime, The price will come trigger the buy stop people and to take out the SL of the people Shorting with a limit, then it falls more to take the buy stop traders SL out, then continue up to find an imbalance or liquidity. And there's an imbalance at exactly the 127% extension.If there's a slight chance that doesn't happen I do have multiple take profits set up, but more than likely this will be the scenario. I've seen play out so many times that I know there's players in the room with large amounts of money able to manipulate the charts right when they want to. If this doesn't Happen, I'LL be Surprised. Good luck and happy trading :)

$XMR - Price entered Bullish Breaker - Will Act as support *SMT* My Last XMR Signal did not go as well. However, I believe I found where I went wrong and will be able to correct it with this signal. *SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading. First, SMT does not believe that triangles, wedges , trendlines , channels, harmonics, etc. has any effect on how price reacts. I'm Sorry, but you won't convince me that Bitcoin knows it has created a triangle and that it knows how to react from that? It does and will remember price levels, that's it. The second is to recognize that the price is not random, it is set by an algorithm controlled by those that control the asset. The Third thing to remember is price will move toward attacking where there is Liquidity (Equal Highs, Equal Lows, phantom Trendlines etc.) and Balance (Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Voids.) That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas. So we have a long term Low High Lower-Lower formation in the upward movement of the price action of the chart. The high candle is the the Breaker. This is part of Smart money theory that's hard to explain without giving a video. But the price at this point should not get lower than the last up candle between 170 and 175. My entrance was 175.50. Stop loss is 169 and aiming bullish for the inverse ofr the 62% around 194.50. Then it might return lower, I'm not sure. But I think this Breaker Will hold and cause a short bullish run at least. Closer up of the the chart After it completes the run, The I have a feeling it will have another decent fall into the imbalance belowe the currrent support as seen pictured here: Lastly, if the price stays near where it is, it is in confluence with the exit of the trade as there is a bearish order block right at the price near 194-195 As for now. I'll be on top of this trade and keep it updated as much as I can. I'm only trading 3 cryptos right now, BTC,ETH, and XMR. We'll see if I'm right this time. SKILLING:XMRUSD GATEIO:XMRUSDT

$TRX - 3 Confluences To Short It *Smart Money**SMT* = Smart Money Theory = everything you think that is not retail related to trading. First, SMT does not believe that triangles, wedges , trendlines , channels, harmonics, etc. has any effect on how price reacts. I'm Sorry, but you won't convince me that Bitcoin knows it has created a triangle and that it knows how to react from that? It does and will remember price levels, that's it. The second is to recognize that the price is not random, it is set by an algorithm controlled by those that control the asset. The Third thing to remember is price will move toward attacking where there is Liquidity (Equal Highs, Equal Lows, phantom Trendlines etc.) and Balance (Fair Value Gaps, Liquidity Voids.) That's the basics. The rest is very unique in the vocabulary you need to have and the concepts that wrap around these ideas. TLDR; Entry 0.0806 (Already Entered but we have a long way to go so enter soon) Stop Loss: 0.0847 - 0.085 Take Profit: 0.073541 If you look at the Daily Chart My entry is based upon the Bwearish Order Block (Bottom Last daily green candle before the high). As price seeks liquidity or imbalances, I believe its heading for the imbalance in the 4 hour chart, The fair Value Gap And then if ypou look at the 4 hour theres a Fair Value Gap at 0.073541, Near this same Price is the Discount Price in the Dealing Range (Dealing Rang Example , Discount Price is 61.8% of retracement) Also in this same area is a bullish order block on the 4 hour So thats the 3 Confluences. 1. Fair Value Gap (4HR) 2. at the Discount Price of the Dealing range (Daily Chart) 3. Which is also at the Bullish Order Block (4HR). This is where smart Money would be aiming to buy up more TRX at a discount price as it goes past two areas of relatively equal lows on the 15 min chart where most retail traders stay. They'll believe these to be Support Lines, when it's a false sense of support as Smart Money wil drive the price deeper just to buy Cheaper.

#XMR - Remins Bullish Aiming for Equal HighsI entered around 190, BY THE timr I posted this it was already 194. In tough timers, look to monero to get you out from under. I've been scalping BTC and ETH. bUT Longing Monero aklways at thje right time. Started with a $100 account for fun in futures, nit at $449 in 2 wees. Now, a larger time frame it did get rejected zt bearish order block (Chart in messae) fahard but rebounded even harder. There's Natural iquidity sitting above the doyble eual highs. That.s where U believe you can take A BULK of you positino off and continue to see where the trade is headed. HTF CHART I don't think ETH amd BTC have hit their lows yet, But Monero will be the one to watch as it continues to climb.

GOLD LONG IDEALondon open manipulation and a re-accumulation of longs. Since it's Friday, maybe we could go higher before any melt lower for a reversal. Most short ideas have been invalidated previously. I'm taking longs to a final target of 1855.52. I anticipate a run higher rather than a sweep on the relative equal highs. My stops are below the lows. let's observe and see. Price is currently at the equilibrium of the expansion higher and possible for a continuation higher. the manipulation may be uncomfortable. If the price continues with a gradual move higher, it is possible that the trend may continue bullish. 1H confluence for the continuation.

$BTC - Just now hitting Discount - Long Term, this is a pullbackFROM THE MOST RECENT LOW TO THE MOST RECENT HIGH, ON THE MONTHLY BASIS,THAT IS HOW YOUR FIB WOULD LOOK. We're just now hitting the discount price at the 61.8% retrace. However, in the market maker sell model, it aims for an area that there's an imbalance in which we haven't spent much time trading within. That would be the monthly gair value gap between 27,800 and 19,000.TRhis is the area Price is aiming for and may consolidate in for a while. Once it is done we should see a return back to the bullish market (wE'RE STILL IN A BULL MARKET BTW) It could take 3 months like it did last summer, or it could take two weeks. The main thing is that it shouldn't close (Monthly or weekly) below the 19,500 mark. If it does, we're definitely in a bear market at that point and expect a continuous fall. But if it dips down to 16-15k, I wouldn't be surprised to see it turn right back around and comme up to 20-22k and close in the region (weekly or monthly) around 21,400 there is the median of the monthly fair value gap, also above is a weekly fair value gap, and just below is a daily bulllish breaker. This is where my eyes are set for price to go before a reversal happens. Stop freaking out people it's not the end of the world. It's called a pullback. Smart Money will help you in developing these ideas so your not selling off everything you own. You need to know how and when the market is timed and what it looks for. 1 It looks for Liquidity and 2 it looks for i mbalances. This area seeks both. It couldn't be amny louder and more apparent Keep on keepin on
