I almost took a trade but I didn't..see why. Had to control my emotions there. I still think its over extended.

I just finished creating an indicator in TradingView that could completely change the way you trade. This isn’t like the hundreds of recycled indicators floating around online. This is something rare, something powerful, something that shows everything you need to observe the market and make real decisions. It combines EMAs to track trend and momentum, VWAP to show where institutional money is moving, ADX to tell you when the market is trending or ranging, and volume with break and retest setups to spot the moves that actually matter. Here’s the truth: most traders will see this and fail to use it correctly. They’ll put it on their charts, think they understand it, and lose money. That’s what makes it valuable. Only the people who truly pay attention and understand what they’re looking at will get the edge. This indicator is rare. It’s not something you can just find online or copy from YouTube. I built it myself, and it’s designed to give clarity, structure, and insight that most traders don’t even know exists. Traders who understand how to read it will see opportunities others miss. Traders who ignore it will fall behind. If you want to see the market clearly, spot high-probability setups, and make smarter decisions, this is the tool you’ve been waiting for. This is your chance to be ahead of everyone else. Most traders will ignore it, but those who act will never look at the markets the same way again. Let me know what you think

Could go either way but the pros outweigh the cons and thats just the way it is.

Why There’s Zero Edge in Forex (and Why I Still Trade It) Shout out to @Northern Aggregator for the idea Hot take: Forex has almost no edge for retail traders.That’s why I hate it. 99% of FX content is: - random indicators - pattern worship - “liquidity grabs” with zero context - pretending EUR/USD moves because of a candle shape Currencies don’t move because of TA.They move because of macro pressure. Why Forex feels rigged Forex is: - ultra-efficient - dominated by central banks, governments, and institutions - constantly mean-reverting unless something forces it not to So if you’re trying to scalp 10 pips with RSI and hope… yeah, good luck. Where the real opportunity actually is The only time Forex becomes interesting is at the edges. Edges = moments where something has to happen. That usually comes from: - interest rate differentials - inflation gaps - debt stress - political pressure - central bank credibility breaking Example 👇When JPY/USD gets pushed to extreme levels, it’s not random. Japan can’t let its currency: - destroy imports - crush consumers - destabilize bonds So eventually: - policy shifts - intervention happens - or global risk flips The trade isn’t “this looks overbought”The trade is “this situation is unsustainable” How you can still be profitable If you want a real shot in Forex, you need to: - stop thinking like a trader - start thinking like a policymaker Ask: - Who’s under pressure right now? - Who benefits from this move continuing? - Who can’t afford it continuing? - What political or economic lever is likely to be pulled? Then you wait.And you trade reaction, not prediction. Final truth Forex is boring. Forex is slow. Forex is unforgiving. But if you understand macro economics and incentives,and you position at extremes where intervention or regime change is likely… That’s where the edge lives. Not in indicators. Not in patterns at the edges.

Quick look at how I’m approaching the markets today..for context and learning, not signals. 1️⃣ USD/JPY — Swing Short 🇺🇸🇯🇵 I’m in a swing short on USD/JPY, looking for continuation lower. Why:A big driver here is the Japanese bond market. - Japanese yields are pushing higher, which is actually bad news for Japan - Japan carries massive debt and isn’t built for higher rates - Rising yields increase financial stress and force capital back into Japan - That leads to carry trades unwinding, strengthening the yen and pressuring USD/JPY lower Technically, this aligns with: - Loss of upside momentum - Lower highs on higher timeframes Macro + structure are pointing the same way. 2️⃣ S&P 500: Short 📉I’m also short the S&P 500. - Two weeks of steady downside - Weak bounces, no real impulsive recovery - Sellers remain in control until structure changes Slow trends often continue longer than expected. 3️⃣ Silver: Long 🥈I’m long silver, looking for new highs today. - Bullish structure intact - Price pressing highs with momentum - Metals tend to benefit during equity weakness and currency volatility 🧠 Final ThoughtI focus on probability, structure, and risk — not predictions. Understanding how rates, bonds, and capital flows connect to price is where real edge comes from. With that said...it will be interesting to see what happens to the price of oil today. I think there's a chance it goes up..meaning it could impact silver and (unlikely) gold. Happy Trading, if you have any questions post them below.
