Fibonacci Retracement

If markets seem unpredictable, chaotic even, Fibonacci retracement is like switching on a light in a dark room. Suddenly, you start to see where price might pause, bounce, or even reverse. It’s not magic its math. And it’s been helping traders make sense of price movement for decades. What Is Fibonacci Retracement? At its heart, Fibonacci retracement is a tool used to measure how far a market has pulled back from a recent move. You take a significant high and a significant low, and the tool plots key levels in between typically 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. These percentages represent potential support or resistance zones where price may react. Think of it as the market catching its breath before deciding whether to push on or turn around. Why Do Traders Use It? Markets rarely move in straight lines. They surge, they pull back, they surge again or sometimes, they reverse altogether. The key is spotting those potential turning points. That’s where Fibonacci retracement shines. Let’s say you’ve spotted a strong uptrend. Rather than chasing price, a trader might wait for it to pull back to the 38.2% or 61.8% retracement level. If price holds and turns, that’s a potential entry point with defined risk and healthy reward. Pair It With Confirmation Here’s the thing Fibonacci levels are guides, not gospel. Don’t use them in isolation. Combine them with price action, trend lines, support/resistance, or indicators like RSI. When multiple signals line up? That’s when confidence goes up. Final Thought Fibonacci retracement gives you a structure to what often feels like market noise. And in trading, structure leads to better decisions. Use it wisely, with patience and discipline, and it can be a powerful part of your trading

Trading the Asian Session: What To Watch Out For

When the clock ticks past 11 PM GMT and the sun begins to rise over Tokyo, the Asian trading session opens its doors to a new wave of market activity. While often overlooked in favour of the high-octane volatility of London and New York, the Asian session holds plenty of opportunity but only if you know what to look for. Let’s break it down in practical terms. 1. Expect Lower Volatility – and Plan Accordingly The first thing traders notice about the Asian session is that it tends to be quieter. You’re unlikely to see huge price swings unless there’s major economic data released from the region. The key players? Japan, Australia, China, and sometimes South Korea and New Zealand. So, what does that mean for you? Well, if you’re a breakout trader, this might not be your ideal playground. However, if you’re into range-bound strategies or mean reversion, this session could be right up your alley. Markets often consolidate during this time something seasoned traders use to their advantage. 2. Watch the JPY, AUD, and NZD Pairs This session is heavily influenced by local news and economic data especially from Japan and Australia. Keep a sharp eye on economic calendars for announcements like the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) statements or Japanese GDP numbers. JPY pairs (like USD/JPY) can move significantly if there’s a policy shift from the Bank of Japan, while AUD and NZD often react to commodity prices and Chinese economic indicators due to their trade links with China. 3. Liquidity Builds Gradually – Especially Early On Liquidity in the early part of the Asian session especially during the Sydney open is often thin. Spreads can widen, and price movements may seem erratic. However, as Tokyo opens and traders in Japan start executing orders, the session finds its rhythm. If you’re scalping or using short-term strategies, be cautious of jumping in too early. Wait for Tokyo liquidity to pick up before placing your trades. 4. Look for Continuation or Exhaustion of Prior Moves The Asian session can sometimes serve as the calm after (or before) the storm. If the US session ended with strong momentum, the Asian hours can either continue that trend or offer signs of exhaustion and reversal. Use this time to assess the broader trend. Look for consolidations, retracements, or failed breakouts. These clues can set you up beautifully for trades during the more volatile London session. 5. Don’t Overtrade – Let the Market Come to You Perhaps the biggest trap during the Asian session is boredom trading. When price moves slowly, many traders try to force trades that aren’t really there. That’s a quick path to giving your hard-earned pips back to the market. Be patient. If the setup isn’t clean, let it go. Discipline is what separates a trader with longevity from one who burns out fast. Final Thoughts Trading the Asian session isn’t about adrenaline it’s about precision, patience, and understanding how the session behaves differently from its louder siblings. Mastering it won’t just open up new opportunities it’ll sharpen your overall trading

Build your Strategy- Building a Traders Journal

If there’s one habit that separates disciplined traders from the rest, is keeping an journal. Yet, despite its simplicity, most traders either ignore it altogether or use it in a way that adds no real value. A proper trader’s journal is more than a notebook full of numbers it’s a personal blueprint for progress. Why a Journal? Trading is part strategy, part psychology. A journal allows you to track both. It shows you what’s working, what’s not, and most importantly why. Patterns begin to emerge, not just in the market, but in your decision-making. And those insights can be worth far more than any single trade. What to Include A good journal isn’t about volume; it’s about relevance. Here’s a simple structure that works: • Date and Time: Helps identify market conditions (was it London open, or New York close?). • Instrument Traded: Be specific EUR/USD, NASDAQ, Bitcoin, etc. • Trade Setup: What was your reasoning? Was it a breakout, trend continuation, reversal? • Entry and Exit Points: Include price levels and screenshots if possible. • Position Size and Risk: How much did you risk? What was your target? • Result (P/L): Record the outcome but don’t obsess over it. • Emotions/Thoughts: Were you anxious? Confident? Second-guessing? This is where you find the real gold. Best Format: Digital or Manual? Both have benefits. Manual journaling (pen and paper) creates stronger memory recall. Digital tools (like Excel, Notion, or apps like Edgework or Trader Vue) offer sorting, filtering, and analytics. The best choice is the one you’ll use consistently. Review Weekly A journal isn’t just for writing it’s for reviewing. Once a week, go back through your trades. Look for recurring mistakes, overtrading, hesitation, or ignored setups. Ask yourself, “What can I improve next week?” Final Word Trading isn’t just about charts it’s about self-awareness. A well-kept journal turns every trade into a lesson, and over time, those lessons stack up. Think of it as your own personal trading coach, one entry at a
