DAY 4 - STRUCTURE & BIAS OF THE MARKET

alifari Posted 4 Aug.  in #Trader's blog #Market #Bias #Structure
"Focus more on the structure and bias of the market, rather than looking for setups. If you are clear on the structure and bias, trade opportunity will reveal itself"
Identifying Highs & Lows is essential part of my trading. It saves me from being on wrong side of market majority of times. Lot of traders get stuck into conventional way of drawing highs & lows, but fail to understand its not about perfection, its about understanding market pulse by taking guidance from past swings, concentrating …

DAY 17 - UNDERSTANDING MARKET DYNAMICS

alifari Posted 17 Jan.  in #Trader's blog #Market #Dynamics
For me trading is all about long term equity growth rather than a single trade, so the outcome of a single trade should not matter, but at the same time one should be vigilant in managing each trade in logical manner. Often traders turn to breakeven instantly, once they are little bit in profit without understanding market dynamics which is in constant search of liquidity.

DAY 16 - UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET CONTEXT

alifari Posted 16 Oct.  in #Trader's blog #Market #Context
One of the keys to trading success, in my opinion is to develop the ability to read the market feeling and understanding the flow of price as it unravels at the hard right edge of the chart.
Simple setups do not work; consistently failing to adapt to the ambiguous and uncertain nature of market price action. Real opportunity is found through developing a feel for the nature of the market environment and how the current price action is flowing within that environment commonly referred to as under…

DAY 24 - A SETUP IS AN ORDER FROM MARKET

alifari Updated 24 Sep.  in #Trader's blog #Setup #Market #Order
"Those studying the market..are studying what someone said instead of what market said about itself" Richard Wyckoff
As a trader, we have to trust our system and follow its orders. A setup is an 'order' from the market. When you recognize it, you act on it - you don't agree or disagree, for one reason or another. You just take it.
You cannot know until afterwards whether it was a good one. Sometimes you may have a hunch, but that is best ignored, if you have a reliable trading system. The resear…

DAY 20 - Market Speculation

alifari Updated 20 Aug.  in #Trader's blog #Trading #Market #Speculation
As a trader we have to understand that trading is market speculation and we buy to sell back later & sell to buy back later to this market. We should not be emotionally attached to what we buy or sell. We should be happy to do either, when the situation tells us.
When we take part, we are entering an auction, so we must have a clear plan of what we intend to do & have the discipline to follow that plan.
We should not get caught up in the atmosphere of an auction and chase price. If the auction d…

DAY 16 - MARKET STRUCTURE

alifari Posted 16 Aug.  in #Trader's blog #Market #Structure
Markets some days are very structured and its simple to find a point and get involved and someday its a bit hard... Price behavior changes. What differentiate a great trader from a good trader is to acknowledge that and act accordingly.
Some times there simply is no trade and when there is a trade and you have done your hard work and due diligence then there should be no stopping you . You should trust your self and your analysis and think to your self "if the same setup was presented to me woul…

DAY 23 - A SETUP IS AN ORDER FROM THE MARKET

You cannot know until afterwards whether it was a good one. Sometimes you may have a hunch, but that is best ignored, if you have a reliable trading system. The research has already been done. Don't mix R&D with trading - they should be kept completely apart.

Day 6 - Market Moves According to Order Volume & Flows

alifari Updated 6 Feb.  in #Trader's blog #Market #Volume #Order Flow
Sometimes there's nothing to be gained by asking questions about individual losing trades. Markets move according to order volumes and flow. If a move peters out surprisingly quickly, or the market bounces when you didn't expect it to, all it means is that there was a high enough volume of limit orders at that level to absorb and repel the push. And conversely, if the market breaks through a S/R level, trendline, etc, it means that the volume of limit orders at the level was less than your analy…
