There are a few factors that I weigh heavily to indicate cycle tops or bottoms. 1. QE or QT Basically whether the Fed is in risk-on or risk-off mode. Money printing mode or money saving mode. If you think about it in terms of your personal finances... When you are short on cashflow, what do you do? • You start saving money • And spend less • You might even sell some of your assets when you need the cash The Federal Reserve / all central banks in the world operate with the same modus operandi. When times are tough... they sell assets to create cashflow and increase interest rates so that everyone struggles to get enough cash to buy assets. All market cycles can be traced back to QE QT cycles by the fed. $BTC and crypto is no exception. Read Lords of Easy Money before the next bull run and it will guarantee you make easy money during it. 2. Bitcoin Halving Cycles For those who don't know. The Bitcoin halving is an event where the reward miners get for mining a block (excluding transaction fees) gets halved. In 2008 it was 50 BTC per block. 2012: 25 BTC 2016: 12.5 BTC 2020: 6.25 BTC 2024: 3.125 BTC It's a similar dynamic to QE QT cycles whereby it's just simple supply and demand. Low supply makes it easier for demand to move the prices. Look for the bottom for BTC to form 2-3 months before every halving event (historically speaking). 3. Interest rate cuts. This ties back into QE QT. QE = low interest rates = easy supply of money for everyone. QT = high interest rates = very expensive to borrow money for everyone so most people don't borrow money to buy assets. Interest rates for the past 20 years ish have pretty much been close to 0%. So it was freeflow money galore for anyone and everyone. If you were a bull you'd think you were a genius for buying/going long on assets. But now interest rates are at 20-year highs. As long as it remains high and the fed does not start cutting it... No reason to be a buyer now. Patience is key here. Look for the bottom to come a few months after the first rate cut.

Hey guys, Just wanted to give you all a shoutout for allowing Trading Accelerator to top the charts in all Skool groups. Never thought we’d be able to accomplish this given the #2 spot has 8,000 members and same goes for the rest of the top 5-10. We are also the #14 most active group in ALL skool groups as well. Let’s keep up the community we’re building and go for the top spot of Skool period. P.S. let’s set the example for all future intakes that enter this group ❤️ And yes, our domain name is skool.com/crypto Is that cool or what?

Welcome to Trading Accelerator - the free trading group you wish you had when you first started crypto. I made this course in the hopes that none of you will go through the things I went through just to become profitable. What did I go through exactly? It took me about 2 years, 5 blown accounts and about $100k down the drain before I ever became profitable. But when I look back at it… I realise it wasn’t really my fault. Just like you… I tried hard. I invested into trading courses. Watched YouTube videos to learn trading. And even put in tens of hours of practice. But for some reason it never clicked. I kept losing money. Maybe you feel the same. And I can tell you: It isn’t your fault. It’s the complete lack of quality guidance in the space. And before you start correcting me… I know that there is indeed quality guidance out there. The only catch is that you need to pay $10k to get access to that. But you are a beginner. Where the heck would you even get $10k to invest into some trading course? That’s where Trading Accelerator comes in. I made this course for the me 3 years ago. The me who wanted to achieve financial, location and time freedom through trading… but could never figure it out. I’ve lost over $500k of my own money over the years to learn the lessons I’m about to share with you for free. So don’t take it for granted. If you’re ready to get started, let me know in the comments down below. And after you do that, click this link to start your first lesson.

Nice to see even with a low win rate, with proper RR still gainz https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Iy9tNAjcCCFsGRbV58eCElT7Piwv9n6QyEmvvSi4jIg/edit#gid=0

How many backtests did you end up doing? more than 6 hours worth How do you think you did in terms of accurately determining the HTF bias? (You can mention how many you got right vs wrong) starting out i did bad around 30% correct, then after hours i managed maybe to increase my accuracy to 60% i think. on my first hours practicing i sticked with the 4hr timeframe then went to 1 then to 15. seeing the timeframes work hand in hand in the relevant levels determining where price would "most likely" go is truly like having a crystal ball How do you think you did in terms of trading execution in the direction of HTF bias? Is there anything you think you could’ve improved in terms of executing? I was honestly frustrated at first bec I dont know where would price go. factors i considered, a. will just wait for price to go to Relevant keylevels in the HTF then wait for market direction towards possible next relevant keylevel, then execute a trade enroute. b. slow movement and low volume would likely be wicked out or swept. after I see the sweep, possible entry on the direction is highly probable. c. after price gets into the relevant key level, price stays there for quite some time sweeping up and down the zone, must really wait for price to make a direction before entering What was (in your opinion) the most common recurring mistake you were making? my most recurring mistake was trying to find an entry for a trade on the relevant level My most hours spent on back testing and rewatching the module. thank you for this! happy with my work! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-GcjtW6okGG3eS9BKvtLaNOsYMFjB33elNjk754k94A/edit?usp=sharing

Hey Guys, i was looking forward to module 7 so much, that I immediately watched it and went into backtesting Mode. So here are the results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V-_WUHPZaKRgLnJG_tQu-FDcxjJknHyLPrJYi2qr_O0/edit?usp=sharing With 51 trades on the 5M (HTF 1H) I managed to get a 41% Win-Rate with a total Pnl of 65% - and I made some really stupid mistakes like shortig right after a significant HTF low was taken out (-3 R) or forgetting to wait for a ChoCh (-1R). With a bit more concentration I would have made 50% Win rate. That is such ahige step for me and a really big Difference to module 1 (or before that in real life). I Feel like I finally get a grip to it and trading accellerator really boosted my confidence. Thanks a lot for that. I know that I still have to work on my discipline and emotions but with this framework I now have a foundation to bild on.

Monday, Friday good start and finish of the week. 💪

anybody using the SPaceman btc indicator ? i am trying to set the NY killzone from 2am to 11am, but it seems i dont understand it... https://www.tradingview.com/x/LtPhV3Ly/

Hey there fam, we've added highlight clips from each stream. You can check them out under each stream recording. Here's a picture of where we are going to put them. P.S: Glad to see many of you going through module 7 already, can't wait to see you guys killing the markets soon!

Definitely course is paying off 😁📈

As per schedule we will be hosting a session in 10 minutes on ZOOM, see you there! Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88498500267?pwd=AZRMYxfTuvujc0llClXs6j04xrUAjr.1

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V1I0dCqijdUgODTkTn2Z2DWqCykp5FJ4bNwX22GHolM/edit?usp=sharing early on was looking on the bigger picture mostly, but tried trading inside the range throughout. made more success entering after market structure has been formed After the liquidity sweep.

Hey hey everyone. I know many are interested in this topic and I apologize if I missed an earlier thread on this, but like many I am watching a variety of these coins on the premise that these companies have the best use case for their coins. I realize this can be argued by defi, etc. but the sheer numbers that will buy these coins to play games via the right company/product could be great investments both long term and day trades. If anyone has any gaming coins they truly like, I'd love to hear about them in this thread. I do ask please do not shill crap coins, but companies you think could legitimately explode in the next run with excellent games/NFTs/products etc.. Putting my $ where my mouth is, I personally like GALA PYR PRIME DUBBZ and possibly WAGMI. I've also liked RLB for a while now. I'm trying to find coins at around the 50 million cap area (they are at 450 mil I think) but I think their overall product of NFT's and a trading platform will be key parameters for future companies in this space. I'd love to hear any thoughts from the community - all the best!

Pheewwww ! This one took me a while. Made hell lot of mistakes but it was fun, at least got the idea why some points are important. Need to work on maintaining the Risk to Reward ratio. Sharing my learning from this one 1. Better to place SL in 5 to 10 points range of the SSL or BSL you're going for. As steep SL in these points pushed me out. Need To Learn: 1. Fair Value Gap 2. Order Block 3. Market Structure Sharing the Journal, please take a look and feel free to share your knowledge. Avi | AOC Trade Journal.xlsx - Google Sheets

I've got an email from Trading View. It's really from them. Not a hacker, I'm quite sure. I've tried to delete an account, I found out I could change the email related to it and also the username (that you can only change 1 time). They said on the message, that I can cancel the deletion but I'm not finding it on the bottom of any page. I tried to find a chat to talk to them but, of course, no chat. Do you know any email for support?

Have you ever tried to make money online using AI? What did work for you? I'm trying to find more things to make some extra money. I'm currently making Notion templates to sell but it does not use AI. It's just a side hustle.

Good morning from California everyone. All of these discussions on Zoom are great and we shouldn’t miss any, but recently Waffles scored two amazing trades of over 1000% and 3000%. He’s nice enough to go over all the details that lead him to make these trades. If you are looking for Alpha or simply want to refine your trading vision, you won’t want to miss this meeting - it’s on the calendar. Have a great day everyone 👍

Ridding this lil puppy down! I feel as if I’m more comfortable swing trading cause it’s easier to predict a bigger move? Tbh I wanna be a bad ass intraday trader tho… anyways planning on taking a prop test in October any tips ????

Ngl this topic is interesting... Watch the videos couple of times to try to understand, and wow! I learn new thing everytime! In my homework I try to determine where the market could possibly go, I'm satisfied with my result in Module 4 Part 1 but not for Module 3 and Module 4 Part 2.. It's interesting to find out what's the difference in my decision making. Anyway, gotta keep explore more modules and perhaps I'll find the system that works best for me! Keep going!

Does anyone employ this tactic? Say for example you get half way into your TP goal then you put your SL to zero or something similar?

Entered the trade, got the first one on the far left, took 75%... My bais is down, but there was room for more entries. So it reversed, got stoped. Entered on the second lvl. Stoped 3rd stoped 4th stoped... As you can see... And then had an emergency call where i had to take a freind to the hospital. Exactly on that top wick. Lol. Knowing that i cantitor any more had to quit... And then the big move happened, and the lower target got hit. Where if i had the oportunity would have made back and some more... This is my problem with scalping. As consistant as it is, any minor distraction at the wrong time takes away the opportunity, sure there would always be more opportunities in the market. But at least being so close to atchieving what was intended and planed, is fine as well.... What do you guys think about scalping, do you face the same problem?

Hey there guys, it's been awhile but module 7 is out and ready to roll. Without further ado, here's the link: https://www.skool.com/crypto/classroom/f62b8c94?md=dd173050e7934fe7a83292ea263740e6 P.S. Module 8 is coming soon and don't worry, it's not going to be long :)

Trading the range until it breaks – that's my mantra. In this video, I'll show you how to establish precise price ranges based on pure price action and structural analysis, applicable to any chart. I'll also delve into the cyclical nature of price movements on a weekly and monthly basis, utilizing key levels as our guiding ranges. For more comprehensive insights and numerous examples, I've compiled a detailed resource, which you can access here: Link to Notion Page. This resource covers both aspects in tandem, ensuring you have a holistic understanding of the concepts. Additionally, I've introduced my entry model for those seeking to refine their trading triggers. As time progresses, we'll delve deeper into this model. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and don't hesitate to tag me if you'd like me to review your plotted ranges. Cheers, and I hope you find this information valuable for your trading journey.

Took me a long time my kids were sick so i needed to take week off of TA but i'm back, did as much as i could during my absence days. Back to business then: Well this was fun 😁😉, have to admit i hated this module in the beginning, was literally pain in the bum for me lol, but it turned out to be one of the best modules so far, as i always has mention in my previous homework i have tendency to loose focus for some reason during those tasks 🤷. This module actually make me use my brain cells and focus much more on the chart, and finding trend direction, market structure, as they say "trend is your friend" 📈📉. Did 24 trades 15 win, 9 loss, Total R 43.7 ,cumulative R 37.0 Looking at my trades can tell my skills definitely got much better since i got here, the only thing for sure is i do jump in to trades more confident on back test mode than i do in live trade at the moment, in the beginning of my trading i was more "confident" than now, lost a quite a bit of money and that holds me back big time sometimes, some traumatic stuff i guess lol that's one thing i definitely need to work on. Overall module 6 great stuff definitely that was something totally new for me to learn. Few of my trades below: Bare in mind some of entries would be done manually( as where i would like to jump in to trade using limit or market buy) as watching the price action. Those should be easy to spot for those who r interested. 1st Photo: That's how my chart looks like i took all of my trades on DOT/USDT 2nd Photo: Actually took 3 or 4 trades, while it just could of been one :) but to defend myself all my trades were 1:3 R 3rd Photo: That's on of the trades i would jump in to position manually ( read above what i mean manually) 4th Photo: Need to show my losers as well, valid trade but got stopped out tight stop loss 1:3 5th Photo: This set up was buy limit placed it in the middle of the OB around 0.5 Fib, That trade would take 1D 16 H before hitting target. @Siddhanth Nair

Dear community I would like to give you back something I came across a few days ago. Maybe it helps one or the other in the right choice of the leverage or the calculation of his position. It has always helped me well to calculate my positions after the module 1 Riskmanagment during backtesting in modul 3 and 4. This indicator is not from me. ; ) https://de.tradingview.com/script/Ylo22mAA/ What do you think about it dear community?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E3s61s5YywL0W2CSHkPsxHF_H1I8ENLUylTCSwVvYfk/edit#gid=766520313 Here's my HTF bias results - the trouble with doing this on crypto is that in playback mode Trading View often limits you fairly recent date ranges and I think I've randomely chosen times that happened to be at major changes of market structure. Overall I think I did ok, all things considered - just started working on part 2 - the first paper trade I took I fell back into my old habit of thinking I've caught a change in market structure and bet the wrong way. It's good to fail when you can see where you went wrong and can learn from your mistakes.

idea in fruition , identify potential areas of interest and the manipulation that is likely to occur . then we execute on our targets @Sam Dell hopefully you took this!

Who is currently using it to trade? I don’t see where to set TP and SL. Can anyone help me find this option?

after the discussion with aoc members @Colin Crowson @Tristan Hurley @Alessandro Berardi and others, ill be adding most useful shortcuts on trading view to help us with our work flow. i wont add every thing i know or find out for the sake of it being concise and memorable. hope it finds a good use for you guys. GENERAL USE : alt + T : trend line to draw a perfect horizontal trend line , after pressing alt+T, click on the starting point, then hit shift and drag the line to where you need it to be, release shift key. alt+H : horizontal line: : used for higher time frames where you need to see the line when you zoom in. alt + J : for a horizontal ray, that starts from where you click and extends to the right. alt+ F : fib retracement ctrl + mouse wheel : to zoom in on a specific point hold ctrl while zooming in with the mouse wheel. shift + mouse click : for measuring, hold shift click on starting point" then you can release the shift" and click on the second point that you need to measure in between> Alt +V : vertical line filling the chart. USEFULL WHEN BACK TESTING OR JOURNALING : shift + down arrow to play and pause when in back testing mode alt+G to go to a specific date alt+S to copy a link for the chart screen capture " for your journal" you can always use the allknown undo and redo buttons if you messed up anything by dragging a fib or a line while moving the chart< just hit ctrl +z for undo or ctrl+y for redo

I decided not to open Twitter, YouTube, and Skool this week because I wanted a clean, unbiased analysis for my trades. The plan was to start with $500 using a paper trading account and assess the gains I could make for a week before actually trading real money. My trades have a risk-to-reward ratio (R:R) ranging from 1:1 to 4:1, depending on the probability of the trade based on my analysis. So far, I have experienced greater losses than wins, but the wins have had higher R values. I plan to continue this approach for another week and see how I can improve my win rate. Combining my existing knowledge with what I've learned from the course, I've achieved a win rate of only 21.7%. However, I managed to still be up by 72%. I can't help but think that I could have achieved even greater gains with a better win rate. The key takeaway here is that risk management always comes first for me, as I've been taking trades with a risk-to-reward ratio (R:R) of up to 4:1. So the course worked for me. It has taken me some time due to work and family, but I do find time to study and work on it. Lastly, I would like to thank the people who put in the effort to create this course. Hope others can be helped by this course too.

Due to popular demand I have decided to post my "old" trading plan for you guys to use. When is say old its doesn't mean it is no longer valid, I have changed the concepts I use so these criteria aren't relevant to me anymore. However this model is quite well put together with organized topics / conditions for taking trades. As you progress as a trader you will eventually script out your ideal plan but until you get there you can use others plans as a strong guide to rely on. Hope this can clear some questions I have been asked. Enjoy! https://www.notion.so/thatwafflle/Revised-Model-f82b0a803a874fde886e6748df9f20fb?pvs=4

@Lee Jia Suen @Colin Crowson @Roar Martinussen. Gentlemen, I recently received access to this phase. But I have tried a few times to open it and every time I do there is no content within the phase. Anyone else had this issue? What should I be seeing?
