@Trader_Vantage Well deserved.

Thanks for the 3K followers.🥳 Appreciate every single one of you.

@IamZeroIka Congrats Zero. I am sure you will crush it like everything else you've done.

👁️ Important announcement 👁️ Dear guys, this is probably one of the most important announcements I’ve made on X, so please take a moment to read it because it really matters to me. Over the years, I believe I’ve done a very significant amount of work. I’ve grown a lot, studied extensively, and never stopped improving myself. Those who have been in the dojo since the beginning know this well, they’ve seen the evolution of the content, an incredible volume of work between live sessions, videos, and guides. There’s really been something substantial. Most of all, they’ve seen my personal evolution, especially in terms of market understanding and refining my style and now I have a style that I truly feel calm and confident with. I’ve never wanted to appear as something I’m not. For this reason, I’ve never allowed myself to start a 1-on-1 coaching program, despite over 8.5 years of study. However, I continue to receive a huge number of requests and that only makes me happy, because it means people truly value my work and that brings me a lot of satisfaction, because I put a great deal of effort into it. For this reason, starting in 2027, I plan to launch a 1-on-1 coaching program. It won’t be something standard, you know me, especially my personality and since I put in maximum effort, it won’t be anything superficial. It will be a personalized program for each individual, because we all have different risks, goals, and lives. It will be an intensive process, covering everything from psychology to analysis, execution, and the development of an efficient trading structure. Above all, it’s designed for those who, like me, are not primarily focused on short-term trading, but prefer a calm, sustainable approach that emphasize a good balance between life/trading and allows for steady capital growth over time. Thanks for reading till here, hope this may be of your interest.

@Trader_Vantage Missed this one but there’s always another opportunity inside Discord.gg/618

$BTC 🎯 Shared two scalp ideas with the lads yesterday. The short didn’t give any reaction so it was invalidated straight away. The long, however, gave an ace reaction — respecting both my entry and SL for an 18R trade :) (personally I missed it as the entry hit at 3am Asian time and I was asleep). Some are probably still holding the long for a potential 27R. It was an easy-peasy POI too. After a brilliant reaction from the 4H SL/demand (that’s the long I personally took for a quick scalp), price broke 1H and 4H internal structure before coming back to this demand level I shared with the lads. Also, for those who were in the public stream and Monday’s stream, you’d know I was expecting a HL for a HH — and that’s exactly what we’ve witnessed thus far. Thanks for playing out :)

@Albert_618 Well done and thank you. I benefited handsomely from this.

@Albert_618 Highly recommend, the 618ers!

I really want everybody to win... And I really try to support a lot of people. But many questions are repeating. You can find a Series of Videos if you click Highlights on my page. It answers a lot. I will never recommend any broker. I did that before yes and it's wrong. Choose your problem by yourself please. And I sadly can't answer every question. I gave a lot away here. What I built on the $DAX with Taurs teachings is public. Not everything but more than enough. Why I did that? It's my form of being grateful for the gift I got here. You get what I worked out in thousands of hours with thousands of Dollars that I lost in the process here for free. The blood, the sweat, the pain, the sleepless nights, the stress.. I know many pretend thats not part of the process in trading, but be honest - you don't trade. I saw a lot. And I know a lot. And I don't forget. If you want to trade more with me and the Team, look for knowledge or whatever you are very welcome to join the Discord. If you look for a link scroll down. Yes I monetize my time - Imagine I wouldn't after giving all that away. If you don't like it, just move on.

@Trader_Vantage Bang Bang

$BTC Another little scalp done and dusted. Even gave the short level to the DC (screenshot attached) which hit to the dollar way in advance and provided an amazing reaction bang on from our marked level. Personally, I didn’t get in the short as I was going to sleep, but I caught the scalp long just before that. Thanks for playing out :)

@BlocksNThoughts You crushed it for a number of years, were always a voice of reason.

Years ago, this account would get several 100 to 1000s of likes per post, but it was during a time when the average guy could come in and have a chance against the market. This account was always grounded in trying to help followers, and if the market doesn't operate that way anymore, then this account has very little value to anyone.

@MariusSm1th Please send the link, sir. Haha, jk, great video, thanks for sharing.

Whenever I feel lazy and don't want to do something I watch this video! I love how Japanese have a framework for rly everything, that not only makes sense and comes from old and proven principles, but is actionable at the same time

@Albert_618 Appreciate your perspective. 🙏

@89Merrett conviction not too important imo. Important is really really accept the risk and play :)

Vibing on $BTC with the 618ers

@Albert_618 You're right. It's just a matter of having conviction in my levels and setting the LOs.

@89Merrett When we worked together you been able to easily identify the Setups. If life has you busy thats okay imo. You can spot the same setups on higher timeframes? If so you might have a free swing :). I'm okay, thank you!

@Albert_618 Things are great, thanks. I hope all is well with you, too! Always keeping an eye on the charts, but other aspects of life have me busy right now.

@89Merrett Gonna be my Second Asset :)! Nice you keeping it up, how is it going? Hope good!!

@studentoffew Sometimes it’s better to read the same book numerous times getting more and more form it each time. Appose to reading 5 books and taking away the surface level information of each.

You can read a 1000 books, but it doesnt mean anything without implementation. Start taking action.

@IamZeroIka Very detailed post! Lots of 'Value' to absorb. 🤝

“Mate, how do you actually use Volume profile or AMT when looking at a chart? Anything more I can learn?" Ok guys, let's drop the whole framework with the hope that you may find interesting ideas to apply to your journey/trading. (❗️Brutal value below❗️) Disclaimer: As always, everyone has a different style and the goal is not copying someone else's strategy but building a process that provides statistical advantage over time (after backtesting). What works for me might not work for you depending on timeframe, goals and availability. (Quite long post, if you're lazy skip it (but don't expect results/improvments) 🔸 1st step -> Understanding what Volume Profile actually represents. Volume Profile is simply the distribution of traded volume across price levels, not across time like traditional volume bars. This allows you to see where the market actually accepted value and where it rejected it. From a basic perspective, there are 3 important elements: • POC (Point of Control) → the price with the most traded volume • Value Area (VA) → where roughly 68/70% of the trading activity occurred (divided into VAH and VAL) • High Volume Nodes (HVNs) → areas of acceptance • Low Volume Nodes (LVNs) → areas of rejection or inefficiency HVNs act like magnets for price because they represent equilibrium where buyers and sellers previously agreed on value. I like to think, instead, about LVNs as "highways" where price tends to move quickly due to the lack of prior transactions. Already here you can start understanding why the market often accelerates through certain areas and slows down around others. 🔸2nd step -> Auction Market Theory Markets are basically continuous auctions between buyers and sellers. The market constantly asks a question: “Is this price fair?” - If participants accept the price → the market builds value. - If participants reject the price → the market moves to find a new fair value. This creates 2 fundamental environments: - Balance (equilibrium) Price rotates inside value areas and HVNs. - Imbalance (discovery) Price leaves value and searches for a new fair value. Recognizing when the market is balancing vs discovering is one of the most simple yet powerful concepts in trading. If the market is balanced → expect rotations. If the market is imbalanced → expect continuation. 🔸 3rd step -> reading the shape of the profile This is something that usually gets unnoticed. Volume profiles often form recognizable structures: • D-shaped profile → balanced market, rotation • P-shaped profile → short covering -> bullish continuation • b-shaped profile → long liquidation -> bearish continuation • Double distribution → market transitioning between 2 value areas The shape of the volume tells you what's happening in the auction. "Eh? What do you mean?" For example: A P-shaped profile has higher probability of appearing after aggressive short liquidations where the market rallies and then builds value at the top -> based on context it's a bullish sign -> why? -> If the market holds the upper value area, it suggests that after shorts were squeezed, new buyers are accepting higher prices. A b-shaped profile usually appears after longs get trapped and forced to exit -> based on context it's a bearish sign -< why? -> If the market accepts lower prices after the liquidation, it suggests new sellers are active, not just liquidation. These structures help you understand who is trapped and where liquidity might sit, forming a bias. 🔸4th step -> Identifying volume voids One of the most powerful concepts is the Volume Void. These are areas where very little volume was traded. Because the market previously rejected those prices quickly, when price re-enters these zones it often moves very fast. You will see tht volume voids frequently align with: • FVGs • Impulsive candles • Liquidity sweeps When multiple inefficiencies overlap, the probability of fast price movement increases significantly, so you can use them to your own advantage. 🔸 5th step -> Value migration Another key AMT concept is observing how value shifts over time. - If the POC and value area move higher, the market is accepting higher prices → bullish context. - If value migrates lower, the market is accepting lower prices → bearish context. In this GBP/USD example I made you can clearly see the migration of value + the concepts explained. However, in my experience the real edge comes when price moves away from value too aggressively. Markets tend to revisit previous value areas because auctions like to rebalance unfinished business. That's why many large moves eventually retrace toward prior POCs or HVNs. 🔸Sixth step -> Combining VP with price action Volume Profile alone is not enough, nor it will ever be. It becomes powerful when combined with: • S&D zones • Liquidity pools • MS (HH/HL or LH/LL) • FVGs or inefficiencies Example: Price sweeps liquidity above a swing high → enters a LVN → rejects from a HTF supply zone. That confluence creates a much stronger trade idea than using any single tool, in my experience. The profile simply provides context about where the auction is strong or weak. 🔸 Seventh step -> Execution The most important step, isn't it? Once the levels are mapped, I usually monitor: • Reactions at HVNs or POCs • Fast moves through LVNs • Acceptance or rejection outside value areas • Value area shifts - If price re-enters value after a breakout, there's a high probability of a rotation across the value area. - If price accepts above or below value, the market has a higher probability for starting a new auction. Based on this I plan my longs and my shorts but also (and that's probably the most important part) I adjust the stop loss in a dynamic manner, meaning that I wait for the price to test and to be rejected from a value area before moving my stop depending on my bias (long🔼 or short 🔽) That’s basically the framework I use when incorporating Volume Profile and AMT into my analysis. It's pretty much logical that you need time to assimilate these concepts, but to me and for my style they're the best I can use, so I highly encourage you to study them. They don't replace price action, but they reveal the structure of the auction behind it, which is 🔑 As always, if you found this helpful, the like and repost buttons are just a few centimeters below.

@Daitaro01 Appreciate your time and the reply! You've been crushing it lately. Keep it up and keep sharing.

@89Merrett often times they add confluence for supply/demand zones. Like fibs. Q for quarterly, M for monthly, W for weekly and Y for yearly (they're the opens)

USDT.D BTC Potential HP schematics formed on crypto majors atm. Looking to enter alt shorts if we get the confirmation targetting new lows. I'm already in a TAO short atm, also watching SOL and FARTCOIN.

@BlocksNThoughts Lots going on at the moment but will reach out when the time is right. 🤝

@89Merrett It's being redone. It will be in three weeks. We will have telehealth set up shorty after although that's more of a secondary aspect but will be utilized for people who can't get access to good health.

I ran a moderate IV dose of preservative-free Curcumin on an older-aged mechanic 3 days ago. Twelve hours later he said his knee inflammation had greatly improved and he is moving around with much less stiffness and pain over the last two days. This was his first and only treatment with me to date but he had tried many things before. The issue with most clinical standards is that they use oral supplements and they have under 10% bioavailability. The other issue is dosing and ensuring redox balance so the body is not overly oxidized or overly antioxidant. This takes a good physical assessment, a subjective interview, and a review of current meds and supplements. This is a very small part of what I do at my clinic but for a very small fee, people don't need toxic corticosteroid injections and months of appointments and testing. I will note that he will likely need more therapies than one over time, this is a phase 1/minimally aggressive therapy, but when people actually leave feeling better, and like there are answers, they get hopeful and enjoy their lives.

@IamZeroIka Easier said than done but once implemented powerful.

One of the best paragraph I ever read and that is still printed in my mind: "Trading is an art that is learned not by adding something to one’s knowledge, but by removing something from one’s nature. Waiting, for a trader, is the most refined and difficult form of action to master. To wait and to do nothing are two very different things, within waiting lies opportunity. In the time “wasted” waiting, the mindset of a true trader is forged. Waiting is not for everyone, only those who have understood that trading is also a patient hunt, waiting for the prey to stick its nose out of the den, are capable of “wasting” time wisely. Boredom is a treacherous sidekick of the ego, an apparently harmless ally, yet one that ensnares the minds of many traders. Lurking, like a cat, scanning for opportunities: it’s a concept universally accepted in theory, but practically ignored by a vast number of aspiring traders. Doing nothing and waiting are two very different things. Observing patiently, awaiting the right moment, is boring, very boring. Opportunities will be missed. But that is the price to pay to avoid unexpected setbacks, ones that often stem from a small trade made to escape boredom or to chase the latest “trend” everyone is talking about."

@BlocksNThoughts Thanks for the response. I’ll schedule time with you in the future to complete the testing and put together a structured long-term health plan. Do you have a website or more information?

Come on over bro. The pepperine definitely helps with the curcumin bioavailability. To what degree I don't know because I only really prescribe/recommend available supplements orally based on lab results. I have been talking with a pharmacy about the potential of putting supplements in capsules with a DMSO-based suspension. Theoretically, it should have a good impact but we just started the discussion.
