Things that are important to know in Trading

[Ihedioral]

1. Fair Value GAp(FVG)  If the price moves aggressively,  it leaves an imbalance between candles. Price often come back to fill that gap before continuing.

2. Liquidity Sweep  Price takes stops above highs or below lows just to reverse after. Trading grabs liquidity before the real move.

3. Market Structure  Uptrend means higher highs,  and higher lows,  Downtrend means lower highs, lower lows. Structure tells you the direction.

4. Break of Structure(BOS)  In an uptrend after a pullback,  when price breaks the previous high,  that's a break of structure.  It confirms continuation.

5. Order Block(OB)  The last opposing candle before strong impulsive move.  That's where institutions entered and that where price often returns.

Yeah, indicators can fail the trader and are likely not to give larger profit than the losses a trader that dwell on them for execution of his trade would when they fail, because indicators aren't definite to repeat behaviour exactly. There are times those candles could form and when the trader may be expecting a reversal which may have prompted him to take a position, but may rather experience a fake out. I have many times experience this scenario with the chart patterns like head and shoulders, double top and bottom top patterns I trade with even as an adopted strategy of mine.

I've gone through those images; they are candlestick patterns/ price action, which makes it context foundational. Still, there are more basics to learn to avoid complications, especially by newbies, and there are more than those iterated above available, to say the least. This means trading knowledge is continuous.

Above all, anyone who knows the fundamentals like the price action might have decoded the simplest way of making money unnoticed.

[crwth]

In activities like trading, you wouldn't really know what would happen. There's no certainty in what could happen. Whether you see higher highs or lower lows, there will still be uncertainty, and the best way to avoid making wrong decisions is to use stop-loss orders and continue managing your risk.

Knowing your strategy and which market it would be effective in is key. You would know if you have done some backtesting to validate your strategy. I think it's best to do that as well.

Studying candlesticks and their formations is one of the things I must learn because it is very useful and helps me analyze the market, especially in the short term. By knowing and understanding candlestick confirmation, I can be a little more certain about where the price will move and in most of my experiments I am more often successful, meaning it does help increase my profits, but one thing I will say is that studying candlesticks is very difficult, sometimes what we see in the market does not always match the guidebook.

It is also very important that you gain some knowledge in risk management after you learn all these strategies that you can benefit from because if you do not learn how to manage your risk, you will only be learning strategies that will help you loose your money faster.

For anyone new to trading, I think risk management should be something they need to learn first because a new trader who ca master risk management will be able to avoid blowing their account.

Yes, you are right, some mostly focus on the technical and fundamental parts of trading, which isn't bad. But the financial part of trading is something worth learning. You could be guru in analysing trade but lack of financial management can turn your efforts to worthless.

Candlesticks are one of the basis of the market and not having a clue about it is simply trading with blind eyes and ignorance, this is the time to step up and understand why you're here in the market and not just about accumulating profits. Candlesticks exploring will definitely make one go far in the market and widen the lifespan of our trading positions.

Studying candlesticks is not difficult except you want it to become challenging to comprehend. Put in at the back of your mind that you want and you're eager to learn about candlesticks and knowing every routing means to follow because learning never stops. Candlesticks have to do more with technical analysis and this is how one can simply know what he's doing in the market.

I am into a higher time frame so lets say swing trades for me basically its easy to check the FVG with the higher time frame because you can check if there is a possible position again, regards with the liquidity sweep is you can combine that in the FVG if ever the price makes a SR flip area price gets sideways you can make an extra earning BoS and CHoC is one of the most common reversal pattern so all you need is to add a confirmation with the technical analysis such as MACD or RSI. I guess you can add more such as candle patterns too OP.

i think the first thing is the fact that you are noticing the differences between the guidebook and real market conditions and that’s actually a good sign that one is learning. What many of us do ignore is that markets are driven by human behaviors and these human behaviors are not a respecter of textbooks so the reality is that a candlestick pattern can only tells a story about what buyers and sellers were doing during a specific period of time do not really gives you a certainty on the market condition or how the market will prosper in your favour, however by the time you combine your candlesticks knowledge together with other knowledge such as the resistance level of the market, the volume and structure of the market, your candlestick knowledge becomes even more appreciated and more useful.

Most people are into trading today with the idea that they will be carry along by other people, they believed that other people who are more experience in the market will really be of help to them. Thus, they totally ignore the importance of making findings by themselves to confirmed if they on the safer side or not, the reason why research is necessary is because no one is perfect in this market, especially as one can't predict the market and its likely that their analysis might not always be correct. That is why combining experience and understanding can also produce good profits.

[Franctoshi]

What you listed is part of what you need as a trader to help you trade profitably. However, from an individual point of experience and knowledge, these are not key things, because you can know all these without management of risk, behavioral control, or management of your psychology, and a tested system that works, and you still end up losing. Trading is way beyond what you see in the chart because trading is reactive and not predictive.

Risk management is one of the important aspects of trading, to avoid excessive loss, and profit maximization. Uncontrollable interest in profit maximization can lead to disappointment, discouraged and severe losses. Before putting your money in trading, you must be well prepared physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and psychologically, and most importantly developing the mindset to bear every positivity and every negativity. These is one of the strong things that every trader must consider before even thinking of trading.

Yes, trading a reliable coins is very important to traders, this is one of the means it can be known that they want to be patient and not  greedy traders. But it is also good to mention that they should use low leverage. Someone can trade a very good coin, but not being patient with the leverage the person is using.

Good Coins like Bitcoin is still high in volatility and that can still make the trader to trade quickly and more often. Maybe we can only say that they are greedy on this regard if they still add leverage on top. If they have the urge to try or use leverage, then they should also go for lesser volatile coins and then they also need to apply the lowest setting for it.

You will see some traders that are trading good coins, but they are using as high as 50x leverage which is the cause of their trading funds liquidation.

A good coin should not deceive us thinking they have now lesser risks when trading, especially with trades that leverage is involve. Them choosing 50x is what proves their confidence. It is not just simple but too much too. That is only true if what we are talking about is long-term investing.

That's right, what might work for others might not work for you, which the best option for one to do, its to understand the type of trading that is easy for them to partake in, because some people fail to get the idea that in anything that involves investing money, they have to be mindful and careful about it, for them not to be in a compromise situation, where they have to lose everything and end up feeling depressed. When they could have do the right thing, even though it might not make sense to them.

If you are trying to become a professional trader they are different routes that you can follow for you to achieve this goal, the idea of some things working for others and that same thing not working for you is correct but that does not mean you can't start your trading by copying others and yet achieve success. There are many traders that started with copying the signals of other traders which includes their mentors or the signal groups that they join but what distinguish you from others is that you don't only copy the trade but you try to analyze the trade yourself to see from the angle of the person you are copying the trade from.

Copying of trades or taking trading signals isn’t completely wrong, but just like you said, it’s okay if you’re just a beginner and just trying to get a hang of the market, but still, this isn’t recommended to every newbies. This is because as a newbie trader, your first couple of months should be learning and understanding the market and not to start making profits immediately. When a trader copies trades, it means they’re just trying to make profits but trying to bypass the due process and just relying on someone else to do all the heavy lifting for you, no single idea of the risks involved, just the potential profits, and this is a very inappropriate way of getting started as a trader, and even though there’s actually somewhat chances of success, there are also higher chances of losses, and most of the times, such traders never actually gets to prepare for such losses, and that makes it really bad.

[Perfectbaby]

That is right, they should also try to understand the types of trading that suits them the best. Let say there are some people who are good with the spot trading, and there are also some people who loves trading on future market, and that is not for everyone out there more especially those who are joining trading newly. They should know where that best suits them the most before rushing into trading to trade on the wrong market where they would end up losing everything they funded on their trading account.

That's right, what might work for others might not work for you, which the best option for one to do, its to understand the type of trading that is easy for them to partake in, because some people fail to get the idea that in anything that involves investing money, they have to be mindful and careful about it, for them not to be in a compromise situation, where they have to lose everything and end up feeling depressed. When they could have do the right thing, even though it might not make sense to them.

Those who are eagerly wanting to trade are always aggressive because they believe that immediately they started trading then every things turns according to how they plan it without them knowing the market doesn't work that.. traders must endure to know the season they are before decisions to trades otherwise, if they trading during bear market their lose could be much because some altcoin immediately market slightly changes to dip you would see beginners exiting from the market.

[Ndabagi01]

These are all different signs to look out for in the market that helps in your trading decisions and trade executions. These signs are to guide you to know when you have a potential execution to make in the market but it doesn’t mean that you’ll make a good trade always by them, the losses and wins are still part of the market that traders needs to accept. I am very familiar with all those signs in the market and they’re of very great importance in your trading journey and understanding the market much better.

[Pandorak]

These patterns are indeed very helpful in analyzing the market to capitalize on momentum. However, these are just the basics, we need to add our own strategies to achieve a higher win rate. For example, if a liquidity sweep occurs, you can’t immediately enter to take a reversal position, because the price might rise again and subsequently break the structure, if that happens, you’ll incur a loss. So, you must wait for confirmation, such as the appearance of a bearish engulfing candle, which signals that sellers are starting to enter the market, this will increase your probability of success.

In reality, there are many other strategies that can be used and are quite profitable. It doesn’t matter what strategy you use, as long as it generates profit, there’s no issue. The most important thing is that you must be able to manage your money effectively, because there are many traders with extensive knowledge who fail in trading simply because they don’t understand how to manage their money properly.

[Rengga Jati]

If any of the traders could master this probably our trading stops being random

One of the most fundamental things that I think needs to be studied consistently but very difficult, and I've even given up on understanding it several times. Learning about candlesticks, their fluctuations, their direction, technical and fundamental indicators. Ah, all of that is truly complex. Furthermore, we must also understand risk management and other emotional control, which must be strictly and disciplined.

That's why trading isn't just luck; it's a specialty that must be studied and understood. It's not just gambling based on luck only.

Each investment have their own rules or principles that one needs to abide on for them to be successful in it. And if they are able to possess the important skills they need in their trading, which they are not to overlook those signs will help them to be able to navigate through challenges and achieve their goals in it, patience, consistent and risk management are essential for one to practice them and know how to use them rightly and prevent themselves from making decisions based on their emotions, as it can also be a threat to their plans.
