TECHNICAL BRILLIANCE

P J. Gideon

The important message that I can deliver is to focus on the absolute best trades, avoid the
absolute worst setups and work on growing your account to enormous numbers.
In this book, I'm approaching the analysis of price action from a trader's viewpoint. While
seasoned traders likely grasp the concepts discussed, my aim is to offer a fresh perspective
on describing price movements. I acknowledge the collective knowledge and terminology
shared among successful traders, emphasizing that there are no hidden secrets in the
trading world. Instead, traders rely on well-known setups, each often labeled with its own
distinctive name.

In my view, mastering the art of trading price action is an essential skill for every trader.
However, many beginners hold onto the belief that success demands something more
complex, perhaps a rare mathematical formula that only a select few possess. This mindset
often leads them astray from the fundamental principles of trading and overlooks the power
of understanding and interpreting price movements effectively.

Observing affluent and sophisticated traders, many novices assume they rely on
supercomputers or advanced software for an unfair advantage, perpetuating the notion that
individual traders are destined for failure. This misconception overlooks the fact that success
in trading stems from skill, discipline, and a deep understanding of market dynamics, rather
than solely relying on technology or resources inaccessible to the average trader.

I encourage you to approach trading with an open mind, believing that anything is achievable.
It's essential to stop comparing yourself to others who might be making larger profits.
Instead, appreciate your own successes, no matter how small they may seem. Remember,
trading isn't a video game; those numbers on the screen represent real money that can
impact your life. Focus on building consistent gains rather than aiming for massive wins right
away. Comparing yourself to others only leads to frustration and overlooks the unique factors
influencing each trader's journey. Also, be wary of traders boasting about huge profits, as
some may be using unconventional methods or trading on self-created platforms. Ultimately,
stay true to your own trading style and goals.

"Upon conducting a comprehensive analysis of the market trends, I managed to catch


wonderful trades that align with our strategic objectives. I recommend considering these
trades for inclusion in our portfolio, as they offered a compelling risk-reward profile and align
well with our overall trading setups that I will teach you.

examples..
It takes so much patience to hold on trades like this without panicking and moving your stop
loss and take profit around.
Catching the whole trend as early as possible in trading can be challenging but
rewarding.
Firstly go to 4hr timeframe and mark the levels where the trends reversed mostly. The roof
and the floor. (Our psychological levels which we may refer to as support and resistance).
Then identify the structure of the market, if it’s trending or not. Now find price levels of your
interest, where the market is likely to reverse if it’s been trending then wait to counter the
imminent reversal. If the market has been going sideways or consolidating, then wait for a
break out and counter it whether upward or downward.

Keep your chart simple and professional. This is important because we don’t want a
messy chart here. Keep it simple and clean.
Example…
VOLATILITY 75 INDEX 4HR
ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR CHART IS CLEAN AND SIMPLE.

NEXT STEP (ENTRY)


When the market is at our level of interest, start looking for confirmation now using a chart
pattern.

OUR CONFIRMATION CHART PATTERNS

HEAD AND SHOULDERS


We are starting with a standard pattern and then later I will show you a few advanced
components and a few advanced variations of the head and shoulders. So you probably have
seen a chart like this where the head and shoulder is drawn in.

We have a left shoulder, the head, and the right shoulder. But let's break down everything
that we see in the chart and let's try to understand all the different components of a good
head and shoulders.

So first of all we need to look at the swing points. From the left shoulder to the head, this is
market structure of an uptrend, the market is breaking the previous higher high which is our
left shoulder, forming the head which results in break of structure (BOS). Then a very
important thing happens, from the head to the right shoulder is where the market makes a
lower high. Now when the market break the neckline of our pattern we have a gradual turn in
market power dynamics (CHoCH) - change of character. This shows that the trend is likely to
reverse.

NB: The horizontal line of a head and shoulders is called the neck line. In my experience
trading head and shoulders with a horizontal neck line is preferable because it is more
objective. I will have another example later where we will look at a tilted neck line.
The head-and-shoulders is a trend reversal pattern. But it can also be a continuation, but
here we are not interested in trading continuations.

During the uptrend the market undergoes a distribution where the buyers are slowly exiting
their trades, more sellers are coming in, and this distribution then shows us this gradual shift
from more buyers that kept the price pushing higher to then more sellers in the market. And
then once the market breaks through the neckline, this is where the head-and-shoulders is
activated. That's the trigger. There are a few different ways on how to trade the head-and-
shoulders as I’ll show you. But once the market is leaving the distribution, very often you will
see that new trends emerge.

4HR TIMEFRAME

the entry is at the neckline and stop loss should be placed a few pips above the entry. At
least 10 pips.

INVERTED HEAD AND SHOULDERS


Absolutely, the inverse head and shoulders pattern is the counterpart to the traditional head
and shoulders, occurring in a downtrend scenario. Similar to the standard pattern, it consists
of a left shoulder, head, and right shoulder. However, in this case, the market makes a lower
low from the right shoulder to the head but starts making higher lows from the head to the
left shoulder. Once the neckline is broken, it signals the start of a new uptrend.
TILTED NECKLINE
As I said, you don't only have horizontal necklines, but you can also have a tilted neckline,
and this is how a tilted neckline looks like.

In this case, when we want to connect the right shoulder and the left shoulder, we have to
use a tilted neckline to align those bodies and those patterns. However, in my experience, I
have seen that a lot of traders struggle with trading trend lines because those tilted trend
lines are more subjective and that's why I would not recommend to look and to trade tilted
necklines or trend lines in the beginning.
What I would recommend is that on the left shoulder, you look for the lowest swing point and
instead of waiting for the market to only clear the neckline, I would recommend to look for
where is the market making a lower low. That is often a much better signal.

HEAD AND SHOULDERS AS BREAK OF STRUCTURE


Now let’s analyze the market structure, we can observe several key elements. Initially, the
market consistently makes higher highs and higher lows, indicating an uptrend. (Marked in
blue)….

However, a significant shift occurs when the market forms a lower high,(marked in red)
breaking the pattern of higher highs and higher lows for the first time. This change in high
points suggests a potential reversal or shift in market dynamics. It's essential to pay
attention to such structural changes as they can provide valuable insights into future price
movements.

Examining the lows reveals that the market has been consistently forming higher highs and
higher lows, indicating an uptrend. A lower low only occurs when the market breaks below
the most recent higher low and when the market pushes back up for a lower high then
returns, it pushes below our newly formed high low hence forming our head and shoulders
pattern. It's essential to recognize that head-and-shoulders patterns may not always
conform perfectly to textbook examples. Variations are common, and you should focus on
identifying the gradual change from higher highs and high lows to lower highs and lower
lows, which is the key characteristic of the pattern. This understanding will allow you to
recognize and interpret head-and-shoulders patterns effectively, even in less-than-ideal
scenarios.
HEAD AND SHOULDERS AS LIQUIDITY GRAB (fake out)

We can also add the fake out component to our head and shoulders pattern. So what we have
here is we have a left shoulder, then we have the head and the right shoulder. We have a very
well-defined horizontal neckline. If we zoom out, you can see where is this head and shoulder
happening. It’s happening at important turning point.(demand zone) So this was a very
important turning point that led to a strong sell-off. This is an important turning point that led
to a move to the downside. And the market is coming back here, showing signs of a
distribution.

Inverse Head and shoulders as liquidity grab.


HEAD AND SHOULDERS SETUPS

: Head and Shoulders at levels the market has never reached when you go backwards

: Head and shoulders as a 4hr trend-continuation. Also notice that it happened at a


resistance level as it was support earlier before it got broken

: Inverse head and shoulders at support also at support


: At support, some traders may call this a double bottom but myself I will disqualify it
because it took so long to form. This is a reversal at support and this head and shoulders
confirm our reversal.

DOUBLE TOP

After meticulously analyzing hundreds of chart patterns, I've uncovered some secrets that
can enhance the double top or bottom success. These insights include identifying optimal
placements of tops and bottoms, as well as utilizing divergence. I'll reveal these secrets for
identifying high-quality double tops and double bottoms, which can significantly boost your
success rate. We'll begin by examining the structure of double tops and double bottoms,
then delve into the hidden strategies.

A double top pattern typically occurs after a prolonged uptrend, characterized by a series of
higher highs and higher lows. However, at some point, the price fails to surpass the previous
high, indicating the formation of the first peak of the double top. This failure to make new
higher highs suggests a lack of buying pressure and can serve as an initial indication of a
potential reversal in price direction. The pattern signifies a shift in market dynamics, with
sellers potentially gaining control over buyers.

Our double top has two conditions…


First we are going to wait for the first top to form. Then after the price moves away from the
first top we mark two lines which are the PRIMAL and DISTAL lines. The Primal line is at the
end of the body of the upper candle of the top of the pattern and the distal is at the end of
the upper candle’s wick.

This is our first top and we have marked our primal and distal lines.

Now we wait for the price to tap back into our kill zone which is the area between the primal
and distal lines.

When the price reaches our kill zone three things might happen…

1. The price will pull away and start accelerating downwards. This is
what we want

2. The price will break the two lines and comes back leaving a long
wick which will go beyond our distal line. This is okay too

3. The price may break our kill zone and a candle close above the
distal line. If this happens then the setup is invalidated. NO
TRADING

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A PROPER DOUBLE TOP

All I want is the price to test but not close above the distal line in both tops. What does that
mean? It means that price can come back up with candles and I can see a wick come into the
kill zone, I can even see a body close right here in the kill zone or I can see a wick going
beyond the distal line, all of that would be a valid double top for me but what i cannot see is
price come back up and then a candle close above the distal line and the logic behind this is
that a close above our kill zone indicates further upward pressure and indicates that we could
be seeing a continuation of this uptrend that we have so I want the market to stop before this
high but I want it to at least test the lowest body of this swing high…

SECRETS I HAVE FOUND STUDYING DOUBLE TOPS AND BOTTOMS


Secret 1: Price Action Cues. When analyzing these patterns, paying attention to price action
cues is essential. For instance, in a double top pattern, closely examine the positioning of the
second top relative to the first. If the second top forms slightly below the first, it presents a
high-probability trade scenario. This indicates that sellers who acted at the first top are
exerting enough pressure to resist a breach or retest of that level. Essentially, sellers are
asserting control and reversing the price before it even reaches the prior top. This shift from
bullish to bearish suggests a likely further decline in price.
e.g

When it comes to double bottoms, a strong pattern emerges when the second bottom forms
slightly above the first. This signals that the buyers who entered at the first bottom are
holding strong, preventing the price from dropping below that level. Essentially, buyers are
taking charge, reversing the price before it hits the previous bottom. This shift from a
downward to an upward trend indicates a potential price increase, making it a good time to
consider entering a long trade.
E.g
Secret 2. Momentum of the candles forming the last top or bottom. The candles will start
overcrowding as the second top or bottom forms, they lack momentum and they shows us
the market is about to rise or decline harder
e.g

THE RULES OF A DOUBLE BOTTOM ARE THE SAME TO THE ONES OF DOUBLE
TOP

We have another patterns like the triple tap, flags, channels and trend lines… I only
recommend the above patterns discussed here as they have proven to be of great value in my
trading experience.

PSYCHOLOGY OF FOREX TRADING


NOW LETS DIVE INTO THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF TRADING WHICH IS PSYCHOLOGY.
MODULE 1.
•Understanding the role of psychology in forex trading.
: Psychology plays a significant role in forex trading as it affects decision-making, risk
management, and emotional control. Traders need to understand their own psychological
tendencies, such as fear, greed, and patience, to navigate the market effectively. Emotional
discipline is crucial for sticking to trading strategies and avoiding impulsive actions that can
lead to losses. Additionally, psychological biases like confirmation bias and overconfidence
can distort judgment, so being aware of these biases is essential for making rational
decisions in trading.
How emotions and cognitive biases influence trading decisions. Emotions and cognitive
biases can heavily influence trading decisions in several ways:

1. **Fear and Greed**: Fear of losing money or missing out (FOMO) on profits can lead
traders to make impulsive decisions, such as closing positions prematurely, moving your stop
loss and take profit around or chasing after trends without proper analysis.

2. **Overconfidence**: Traders may overestimate their abilities and underestimate risks,


leading them to take larger positions than they should or ignore warning signs in the market.

3. **Confirmation Bias**: Traders tend to seek out information that confirms their existing
beliefs or biases while ignoring contradictory evidence. This can lead to poor decision-
making based on incomplete or biased information.

4. **Loss Aversion**: Traders often feel the pain of losses more acutely than the
pleasure of gains, leading them to hold onto losing positions for too long in the hope that
they will turn around, instead of cutting their losses.

5. **Anchoring**: Traders may fixate on a specific price level or outcome, anchoring their
decisions to that point even when the market conditions change, which can result in missed
opportunities or holding onto losing positions.

6. **Herding Behavior**: Traders may follow the actions of the crowd without conducting
their own analysis, leading to buying into rallies or selling during downturns based solely on
the actions of others rather than fundamental or technical indicators.

Setting Goals for Psychological Resilience and Performance:

1. **Clarity and Focus**: Setting clear and specific goals helps traders stay focused on what
they want to achieve. Whether it's a profit target for the month or a specific percentage
return on investment, having a clear goal provides direction and motivation.

2. **Motivation and Persistence**: Goals provide traders with a sense of purpose and
motivation to overcome obstacles and persevere during challenging times. When faced with
setbacks or losses, having well-defined goals can help traders stay committed to their
trading plan and bounce back stronger.

3. **Measurable Progress**: Setting goals allows traders to track their progress and
performance over time. By regularly monitoring their results against their goals, traders can
identify areas for improvement and make necessary adjustments to their trading strategies.
4. **Psychological Resilience**: Goals provide a framework for developing psychological
resilience by encouraging traders to adopt a growth mindset and view failures as
opportunities for learning and growth rather than setbacks. By setting realistic yet
challenging goals, traders can build confidence in their abilities and develop resilience in the
face of adversity.

5. **Adaptability**: Setting goals enables traders to adapt to changing market conditions


and adjust their strategies accordingly. Whether it's revising profit targets based on market
volatility or modifying risk management strategies to mitigate potential losses, having clearly
defined goals allows traders to make informed decisions and adapt to evolving
circumstances.

MODULE 2
Cultivating Discipline and Patience in Trading

Cultivating discipline and patience is crucial for success in trading. Here are some strategies
to develop these qualities:

1. **Stick to a Trading Plan**: Develop a well-defined trading plan that outlines your
strategy, entry and exit criteria, risk management rules, and goals. Adhere to your plan
consistently, avoiding impulsive decisions driven by emotions or market noise.

2. **Practice Risk Management**: Set predefined risk limits for each trade and stick to
them rigorously. This helps prevent emotional decision-making and protects your capital
during periods of market volatility.

3. **Embrace a Long-Term Perspective**: Understand that trading is a marathon, not a


sprint. Focus on the long-term profitability of your strategy rather than short-term
fluctuations. Avoid the temptation to chase quick profits or overtrade, as these behaviors
often lead to losses.

4. **Develop Emotional Awareness**: Learn to recognize and manage your emotions


effectively. Take breaks when feeling overwhelmed or stressed, and avoid trading when in a
heightened emotional state. Maintaining a calm and focused mindset is essential for making
rational decisions in trading.

5. **Continuous Learning**: Invest time in educating yourself about the markets, trading
strategies, and psychological aspects of trading. Continuously refine your skills and adapt to
changing market conditions. The more knowledgeable and prepared you are, the more
confident and disciplined you'll become as a trader.

6. **Practice Patience**: Understand that success in trading takes time and requires
patience. Avoid the temptation to constantly monitor the markets or make impulsive trades
based on short-term fluctuations. Trust in your strategy and be patient during periods of
market consolidation or drawdowns.
7. **Review and Reflect**: Regularly review your trades and performance to identify
strengths and weaknesses. Reflect on your decisions and learn from both successes and
failures. Use this feedback to refine your strategy and improve your discipline over time.

OVERCOMING FEAR AND GREED


Overcoming fear and greed is essential for successful trading. Here are some strategies to
help:
1. **Awareness**: Recognize when fear or greed is influencing your decisions. Awareness is
the first step in overcoming these emotions. Monitor your thoughts and feelings while
trading, and be honest with yourself about your motivations.

2. **Stick to Your Plan**: Develop a solid trading plan with clear entry and exit criteria, risk
management rules, and goals. When fear or greed creeps in, rely on your plan to guide your
decisions. Trust in your strategy and avoid deviating from it based on emotional impulses.

3. **Set Realistic Expectations**: Understand that trading involves both wins and losses.
Set realistic expectations for your trading results and accept that losses are a part of the
process. Avoid chasing unrealistic gains or expecting to win on every trade, as this can lead
to impulsive decisions driven by greed.

4. **Practice Patience**: Cultivate patience in your trading approach. Avoid rushing into
trades out of fear of missing out (FOMO) or closing positions prematurely due to fear of
losing profits. Wait for high-probability setups that align with your trading plan, even if it
means sitting on the sidelines at times.

5. **Use Risk Management**: Implement proper risk management techniques to protect


your capital and minimize losses. Set stop-loss orders and position sizes based on your risk
tolerance and market conditions. This helps mitigate the fear of losing money and prevents
greed-driven decisions to risk too much on a single trade.

6. **Focus on Process, Not Outcome**: Shift your focus from the outcome of individual
trades to the process of trading itself. Emphasize disciplined execution of your trading plan
rather than obsessing over short-term results. By focusing on the process, you can reduce
the emotional impact of wins and losses.

7. **Practice Self-Control**: Develop self-control and discipline in your trading approach.


Learn to resist the urge to act impulsively out of fear or greed. Take breaks when needed to
regain perspective and avoid making decisions based on heightened emotions.

8. **Continuous Improvement**: Commit to ongoing learning and improvement as a trader.


Reflect on your trading decisions and outcomes, identify areas for growth, and actively work
to address them. The more you learn and grow, the better equipped you'll be to overcome
fear and greed in your trading journey.

MODULE 3
Stress-Reduction Techniques for Traders
Managing stress is crucial for traders to maintain optimal performance and decision-making.
Here are some stress-reduction techniques specifically tailored for traders:

1. **Mindfulness Meditation**: Practice mindfulness meditation to cultivate awareness of


your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. Regular meditation can help reduce stress,
increase focus, and improve emotional regulation, all of which are beneficial for trading.

2. **Deep Breathing Exercises**: Incorporate deep breathing exercises into your daily
routine, especially during moments of heightened stress or anxiety. Deep breathing triggers
the body's relaxation response, helping to calm the mind and reduce physiological symptoms
of stress.

3. **Progressive Muscle Relaxation**: Practice progressive muscle relaxation techniques to


release tension and promote relaxation throughout your body. By systematically tensing and
then relaxing different muscle groups, you can alleviate physical symptoms of stress and
promote a sense of calmness.

4. **Physical Exercise**: Engage in regular physical exercise to reduce stress and improve
overall well-being. Activities such as walking, jogging, yoga, or strength training can help
release endorphins, reduce cortisol levels, and improve mood, all of which contribute to
stress reduction.

5. **Healthy Lifestyle Choices**: Maintain a healthy lifestyle by prioritizing adequate sleep,


nutritious diet, and hydration. Poor sleep, unhealthy eating habits, and dehydration can
exacerbate stress and negatively impact cognitive function, decision-making, and emotional
regulation.

6. **Limit Exposure to Stressors**: Identify and limit exposure to external stressors that
can negatively impact your trading performance. This may include minimizing distractions,
setting boundaries with news and social media, and surrounding yourself with a supportive
trading community.

7. **Time Management**: Develop effective time management strategies to prioritize tasks,


minimize procrastination, and create a balanced work-life schedule. Properly allocating time
for trading, analysis, self-care, and relaxation can help reduce stress and prevent burnout.

8. **Seek Support**: Don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or professional
resources if you're feeling overwhelmed or experiencing prolonged stress. Talking about your
feelings and seeking guidance from others can provide perspective, validation, and coping
strategies.

9. **Visualization and Positive Affirmations**: Use visualization techniques to mentally


rehearse successful trading scenarios and visualize yourself remaining calm and composed
under pressure. Incorporate positive affirmations to reinforce confidence, resilience, and
self-belief in your trading abilities.

10. **Take Breaks and Rest**: Schedule regular breaks during trading sessions to rest,
recharge, and prevent mental fatigue. Stepping away from the screens, practicing relaxation
techniques, or engaging in enjoyable activities can help reset your mind and alleviate stress
buildup.

MODULE 4
Risk Management and Capital Preservation
Risk management and capital preservation are paramount in trading to safeguard your funds
and sustain long-term profitability. Here are key strategies:

1. **Position Sizing**: Determine the appropriate position size for each trade based on your
risk tolerance and the size of your trading account. Limit the amount of capital you risk on
any single trade to a small percentage of your total account balance (e.g., 1-2%).
2. **Stop-Loss Orders**: Set stop-loss orders for every trade to define the maximum
amount of loss you are willing to tolerate. Place stops based on technical levels, volatility, or
other factors relevant to your trading strategy. Adhere to your stop-loss levels to prevent
significant losses from accumulating.

3. **Diversification**: Avoid overexposure to any single market, asset class, or trading


strategy. Diversify your portfolio across multiple instruments or asset classes to spread risk
and reduce the impact of adverse movements in any individual position.

4. **Risk-Reward Ratio**: Assess the risk-reward ratio of each trade before entering the
market. Aim for trades with a favorable risk-reward profile, where the potential reward
outweighs the potential risk. Set profit targets based on this ratio to ensure that potential
gains justify the risk taken.

5. **Risk Assessment**: Conduct thorough risk assessment before entering trades,


considering factors such as market conditions, volatility, fundamental analysis, and technical
indicators. Avoid trades with unfavorable risk-reward profiles or high levels of uncertainty.

6. **Adapt to Market Conditions**: Adjust your risk management approach based on


prevailing market conditions. During periods of high volatility or uncertainty, consider
reducing position sizes or tightening stop-loss levels to mitigate risk. Conversely, in stable
market conditions, you may increase position sizes within acceptable risk parameters.

7. **Continuous Monitoring**: Monitor your trades and portfolio regularly to assess


performance and identify potential risks or weaknesses. Stay informed about market
developments, news events, and economic indicators that may impact your positions. Be
prepared to adjust your risk management strategy as needed.

8. **Emotional Discipline**: Maintain emotional discipline and avoid making impulsive


decisions based on fear or greed. Stick to your risk management plan and trading rules, even
during periods of market turbulence or when facing consecutive losses. Emotions can cloud
judgment and lead to irrational behavior, which can erode capital over time.

MODULE 5
Avoiding revenge trading and impulsive decisions is crucial for maintaining discipline and
preserving capital in trading. Here are strategies to help prevent these behaviors:

1. **Acknowledge Emotions**: Recognize and acknowledge the emotions driving revenge


trading and impulsive decisions, such as frustration, anger, or greed. Understanding the
underlying emotions allows you to address them more effectively and avoid acting on
impulse.
2. **Take a Break**: When experiencing strong emotions or facing consecutive losses, step
away from the markets and take a break. Give yourself time to cool off and regain perspective
before making any further trading decisions. Physical activity, meditation, or engaging in
non-trading activities can help alleviate stress and prevent impulsive behavior.

3. **Reflect and Learn**: Instead of reacting immediately to losses or setbacks, take the
time to reflect on what went wrong and what lessons can be learned from the experience.
Analyze your trades objectively, identify any mistakes or areas for improvement, and use this
knowledge to refine your trading strategy.

4. **Stick to Your Plan**: Adhere to your trading plan and predefined rules, even when faced
with adverse market conditions or unexpected outcomes. Trust in your strategy and avoid
deviating from it based on emotional impulses or the desire to recoup losses quickly.
Consistency and discipline are key to long-term success in trading.

5. **Implement Risk Management**: Prioritize risk management to protect your capital and
mitigate losses. Set strict stop-loss orders for every trade and adhere to them rigorously,
regardless of market conditions. By limiting the amount of capital at risk on each trade, you
can prevent impulsive decisions driven by the fear of losing more money.
