How I found and identified Five 100%+ return swing trades!It's not too late! My job i to identify the liquidity being built and since we're trading options, time the breakout as best we can. As you can see on these 3 equities, in addition to 2 more I'm trading (PYPL, UPS), we've built sufficient liquidity over the past few months in order to make these breakouts.
So keep an eye out for controlled selling and re-entry opportunities - it's never too late to catch another breakout!
Happy Trading :)
Liquidity is KEY to the MarketsIn this video I go through more about liquidity and why it is important.
The markets move because of liquidity. Without liquidity, there is no trading. The larger the trader, the larger the liquidity required. Understanding the concept of liquidity and the fractal nature of price, trading becomes very interesting. A whole new world opens up to you and you no longer have to keep guessing where price is going. You no longer have to keep chasing candles.
I hope you find this video insightful.

Bitcoin at a Critical Level: What Investors Need to KnowBitcoin ( BITSTAMP:BTCUSD ) is currently at a crucial juncture. The 3-month chart suggests that if Bitcoin drops below the $50,000 level before moving above $70,000, we could see further downside, potentially to the $40,000 - $35,000 range.
Election Impact
This potential scenario might coincide with the upcoming election, which could have a significant impact on market sentiment and liquidity. Political events often introduce volatility and uncertainty, affecting investor confidence and market stability.
Investment and Trading Strategy
For investors, a potential dip to the $40,000 - $35,000 range presents a buying opportunity. However, traders should consider hedging their positions to profit in case of further declines. This approach can help manage risks and take advantage of market fluctuations.
Long-term Outlook
Over the next 6 to 8 months, these market dynamics could lead to increased buy-side liquidity and higher prices. This period of stabilization might create a more favorable environment for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Conclusion
While the short-term may bring challenges, particularly due to the election, the long-term outlook remains positive. Investors and traders should prepare for potential short-term declines but remain optimistic about increased liquidity and higher market prices in the future.
A Shining Year for Gold: Geopolitical Risks and Economic DynamicThe year 2024 may be a bright year for gold, but it coincides with a period of increasing geopolitical risks. Global political and economic uncertainties, while unsettling investors, may boost demand for safe-haven assets such as gold.
Another notable feature of this year is the decline in inflation and interest rates. It is expected that inflation will be kept under control, and central banks will opt for interest rate cuts. The -0.75% interest rate reduction can be considered as part of efforts for economic recovery.
Gold has traditionally been a sought-after investment in environments characterized by low inflation and interest rates. Therefore, the anticipated interest rate cut in 2024 may support gold prices. However, the persistent presence of geopolitical risks remains another crucial factor influencing the value of gold.
Investors will carefully monitor the performance of gold in 2024, taking into account both geopolitical developments and economic indicators in this complex and dynamic environment. In the face of potential risks, a diversified investment strategy may provide a more secure position.

When I look at the gold mining index, I see a very positive increase.

The graph of gold in 12-6-3 month time frames gives very positive clues that the price will rise.

Bullish Trade Ideas for NAS 100There is strong possibility we could be headed for new ATH prices. If we see a change of character I will be looking for a retrace back to an important imbalance (FVG). A nice bounce from one of these areas could send us to the moon and beyond. The NY session will be quite interesting. Happy Trading everybody and best of luck.
Intraday NQ setupI’d like to see if we can sweep some Buy Side Liquidity before trying to move lower today. We are currently at some strong Demand zones that we have already tested and are becoming WEAKER. If we can sweep those equal highs and reject the 15m Supply we might be in for a strong move lower today. Until I see a strong setup through demand or the setup I mentioned, I will not take any shorts.
No setup = no trade
