I'm starting to see the patterns so easily now after reading Technical Analysis by John Murphy, I can't recommend it enough, a triple top happened 2 days in a row this week, and what's even more interesting, no news (That I'm aware of) has landed yet that would cause this, which further confirms the "Price discounts everything" theory, would love to hear people's thoughts on this here and discuss!

My bias was to go short using the DOW theory strategy at the beginning of my trade, along with with an ATR indicator and a few other time frames (1 min, 90 min) this is a 30 second chart. 103 handle move. Now just need consistency! I used a trailing stop loss to maximise profit.

I was first introduced to trading last year by my friend who was a trader at the time, he's taught me a lot since he's been into it quite a few years himself. I haven't actually taken trading seriously until September this year as I was discouraged and intimidated by how much I didn't know and thought to focus on my music instead, quickly realising that I don't have enough time in the day to do it properly and I needed some way to free up a lot of time, at this point I rekindled my passion for trading and here I am today! Just listening to the episode Technical analysis Vs Fundamental Analysis of the Tyler Stokes Day Trading for Beginners podcast I had a massive realisation. "Price action discounts everything". As a person who always did a combination of both types of analysis, time and time again I was all up to date with the news, by the time I went onto the charts to start trading, the movement already happened, but in my mind I was still waiting for the "reaction" and no wonder it never aligned! Because it happened at the time the event I read on the news actually happened, not when the news article is published! From now on I'm gonna rely on discretionary trading + technical analysis, I'll update how that goes. Don't give up on your journey, you'll have your eureka moment too 🙏
