Hidden OB Mastery In response to MT's recent LONG on BTC, look closely at this 23H Hidden OB. It already had 6 earlier interactions. Why did MT (most likely) wait until this exact moment to enter a trade? Before reading further, please note that this post intentionally simplifies the scenario by not discussing many other important variables. Readers should understand how to effectively use posts like this in conjunction with their broader analysis.😘 You might ask yourself why not enter sooner when there were already multiple earlier chances (3x Long or 3x Short) at these price points: The simple reason for this patience is that there wasn't a clear closure above a Swing High (SH) or below a Swing Low (SL). Without this closure, the market hadn't shown a clear direction yet. Big players and institutions always wait for clear direction first, then a pullback into a key level, to fill their positions with the highest possible chance of success. Moneytaur consistently emphasizes the importance of waiting for clear confirmation before entering any trade. In this specific situation, if you had opened a position every time the price reached this 23H Hidden OB, you would have lost 6 times, and only the 7th time would have been profitable —> resulting in a very poor risk/reward (R/R). Apart from this particular example, many traders (myself included) often see a key level and blindly open a Limit Order. However, if a level has already been ignored multiple times, there is no guarantee the next interaction will yield your desired outcome. Here's the 12H chart, which Moneytaur often uses to reliably see where the market is headed after a closure above/below takes place. Notice how the 7th touch is after the 12H closed above first. Now look at the 23H chart. You see the exact same situation: no clear closure above a Swing High or below a Swing Low. Every time the price reached this 23H Hidden OB without clear market structure/direction confirmation, big players did not react, making it very likely for the price to ignore this level as well. This is one of several critical confirmation methods you can use to significantly increase your probability of success after identifying a strong liquidity level. Posts like this are typically created when I've recently discovered the importance of a particular method from Moneytaur. By clearly documenting it, I set it in stone for future reference, making it easy to track its validity and performance. In trading, nothing is 100% guaranteed, but striving to approach that ideal as closely as possible is the goal. Why settle for less?

Enduring hardship✍️ Personally, enduring and overcoming hardship in trading gives me the greatest motivation. It is in a way, what I enjoy the most. You have to do deep work otherwise it is impossible. And for me, deep work is only possible when I have genuine internal motivation. A lot of that comes from the fact that I am still here after so many difficult moments. Very rough moments for me, where I was in the hardship, not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and still acting on this and staying in the tunnel. A quote from Jeff Bezos is: “Step by step, ferociously.” Gradatim Ferociter is Latin for "step by step, ferociously," serving as the motto for Jeff Bezos's aerospace company, Blue Origin. It signifies achieving massive goals through patient, incremental, and methodical progress (step by step) while executing with extreme passion, intensity, and relentless determination (ferociously). When I am not sure of the path, I try to remember to just get in the next best step and finish it, then onto the next, and ferociously. Step by step, I have survived these hurdles and come out stronger. Without this loop, life feels of less value to me and I know this applies to me.

@lava_xbt Thanks for the answer mate! BTW really like your content. I use similar KLs and tactics around them, so I really appreciate the openness in your decision making as it helps me tweak my own ideas a bit

@CryptoChaseCase I'd like to see us finally sweep the range lows from here so we can be more confident on longs instead of just getting a distribution range from every bullish level. 62k-63k for short target currently

Exited my long due to the clearly distributive nature of the price action here on $BTC rather than anything indicative of a trend reversal ✍️ Shorted the third drive and looking for a better long opportunity near range lows

@lava_xbt What are you targeting for this short btw? I thought it would be wise to only take a scalp here with internal range BCS. 71K I would use to target new lows maybe with a bit wider SL because it has full range fibs (premium/discount theory)

@CryptoChaseCase Hate when that happens

TP1 + SL2$

ETH Good liq wick into demand + respecting, so expecting some upside for now. TP's at potential reversal spots (visible in the chart) I tried a tighter long (apart from the safe long) with smaller size but hit SL --> was reasonable to put at BE after the small relief while keeping the wider position open. 12H close was a good confirmation for adding into the position but was fast asleep --> Keep a better system for not missing HTF close confirmation for KL's Overall I'm targeting new highs into liquidity behind the big FVG/Displacement but can TP depending on triggers on Highs and KL's. The 1D OB is not just a 1D OB btw, it's inside HTF OB's so 2500$+ is not unreasonable to target imo Original plan working out for now and sticking to it.

What's the morning routine? Personally like this very much: - Chug water - 5 min heart-rate up exercise (energy up) - 5 min get some sunshine (wake up body) - 10 min Breathing/ meditate (clear head) - 10 min selfhelp book (grow mindset) - Trying to max plank (mental toughness) - Cold shower (Feel alive🫡)

Mornings A good structured morning can make a huge impact of the rest of your day. Yesterday when I woke up I had no clear plan how to use the morning. I had an appointment that didn't serve me but someone else. The appointment was cancelled. So I was blocking my time to support someone else and it didn't happen. Pretty unsatisfying feeling that carried myself through the rest of the day. I took some trades that were okay but no matter what task I solved - I wasn't happy at all. I decided to put the biggest task at the beginning of the new morning. I can't remember where I read that - but I recommend it. So today I woke up, did my morning routine and directly solved the biggest task that I was procrastinating on for 24h. Good feeling, not even 8 in the morning and I solved something important. Great feeling, I was very motivated because the biggest "enemy" was fallen. I started the stream today, been vibing on Dax and found a good trade that was easy to make some $ on. I was chatting with the Discord, was purely positive and went into the gym and took care of myself. Now it's not even New York opening and I'm just satisfied. Not only that, I am in a positive workflow and was able to get more sh*t done than the past days. Great. Doing the first task at the beginning of the day is like going into a brawl and knocking out the strongest fighter you see. What a feeling, after he is put to sleep you just have small opponents that are kinda cute.

Build, Don't Stare✍️ Beware of the illusion of productivity that comes from watching price action; in reality, it’s often just a dopamine loop driven by hope or fear Use that time to build something instead of wasting it: - Prepare charts: when volatility acts up, you’ll be ready - If you have only one level or one plan on your chart, what are you going to do when that plan fails? - Having a plan B, C or even D means failing Plan A isn’t so bad - Don’t force one “plan to rule them all,” and never go all-in on a single idea (Be like 🌊)

It’s been several years since I started sharing my work on this platform, and if there’s one thing you’ve NEVER seen me do, it’s spending my time criticizing others, attacking people, or getting pulled into a vortex of constant negativity. The truth is, I don’t believe in that approach. I prefer to focus on my own work, publishing my charts, my analyses, my thoughts, and my reflections on life with the sole aim of improving myself, improving my work, and creating a positive environment around me. And I can’t expect anything different in return if I start spreading negativity and resentment, right? I’d be fooling myself to think otherwise. I try to focus only on what I do and avoid criticizing others also because, honestly, what is there to criticize? The reality is that we all have skeletons in the closet, we all make mistakes, none of us is perfect. Especially in a game of probabilities, I believe the best thing we can do is work on ourselves and respect other people’s ideas, even when we don’t agree with them. Better to let it go or to simply ignore it with respect and move forward. I’m truly fed up with all this hate on this platform: people constantly calling each other out, saying “this is trash,” “that one is better,” “this is the best of all.” Enough, seriously, enough. Let’s start focusing on ourselves. Let’s start asking: “Why did you do this? Why do you think this way? What’s your idea?” Let’s question our actions more, let’s try to understand. That’s the only way we can improve ourselves and the environment we live in. Otherwise, if all you produce is noise and hate, don’t mistake yourself for a critic..you’re just part of the problem.

@JDB_trading JDB confluence Upper level has 1M 20SMA confluence Lower level has 2M 20SMA confluence

En als je maandag een forse paniekhammer krijgt en dinsdag sky high, dan staat er weer zo'n set-up als een jaar geleden (zie onderstaande tweet!)...

Starting with a wide and safe option that focuses on riding the big move works like a charm, both technically and mentally. You have one play that makes sure you are in and can take some profit, plus you will not have FOMO or quick losses. You look at the whole picture and try to find the area of reversal. A smaller SL + better timed play while using HTF swings for R/R maxxing can be profitable, but it needs different management than the wider one. It is a process I still need to tweak a bit to optimize R/R and win rate. I took a step back to make sure I get the big moves right before going back to tighter, better-timed plays. I used to do both a bit randomly and it drove me a bit crazy, so I focused on the bigger moves to improve my HTF game and get better at being patient → I can start switching back to tighter plays from now for eth and btc

@TraderDune @KillaXBT Good work here Dune

As expected, @KillaXBT has large purchasing power of bots to not only fake engagement/followers, but to also fake those who come to his defense. He hides all replies otherwise & blocks you (blocked me). This is an example of many, account created Jan 2026 - first comment is applying to be a paid shill lmao - days later starts absolutely worshipping him like he has followed him for years... You see this trend on all his replies & shouts. Posts multiple times a day - bullish & bearish scenario. Reposts when right, then deletes when wrong. Doesn't even take any of these trades either, just larps random positions. All to funnel into his many high ticket paid groups, although he claims to not have any lol. One of the biggest psyop larps I've seen, being shouted out all over my timeline. I don't know how people continue to fall for this CX trap.

ETH Potential plays Original plan working out - Shorting would've been a good idea in hindsight especially since I expected a reversal here First long level has poc confluence but the 1740 low might expect a visit from price soon Entry - SL placement can change depending on majors ofc

L on the long. Was small size In hindsight rejection and only 1H MS break --> clear rejection on the HTF

ETH Short for H&S or 3rd Drive. Took a long for the (potential) ride to either station

@CryptoChaseCase Great way to put it man, it amazes me how all of us go through the same things at different stages of our trading experiences

Living On PnL✍️ A big problem in trading is not just the outcome of a trade, but how deeply it affects your normal life. When you have a good win, you can start to feel very good even when AFK. You have direct results from your hard work, and they align with your goal of becoming a profitable trader. This feeling can however act like a drug. Without it, you feel off. When you were winning, it started to influence your life in a positive way. With its absence, you feel heavier. This is where a big problem starts. A simple trade outcome can begin to carry a heavy emotional effect: living in bliss or living in Emotional heaviness. It starts to affect the way you experience your day, your mood, and even yourself, and this is dangerous. A win should not become something you use to brighten your day, and a loss should not put you in a state that follows you around even when you are AFK. You have to make every day a good day - independent of the results. A losing day can still be epic because you focus on how even with a loss, you still experienced a beautiful day. With a win, you simply inform yourself that you did well, but you do not let it become the reason your day feels better. If a day feels much better because of a win, and worse because you are in drawdown, then PnL is too connected to your personal life. Distance has to be created to make the trading experience less heavy. This same win / drawdown mindset also creates problems inside trading itself. Even when you win, playing with house money can affect the quality of a trade because you feel like you are just playing with profits anyway. Sketchy setups start to dilute your edge. PnL-based decision making starts to happen. When you are in a loss, you often want to get back to break-even or into profit as soon as possible, so patience becomes harder to maintain. This is also PnL-based trading. A trade is just a trade. It is the action you take based on your best guesses. PnL should be seen as something more administrative, and it comes at the end. The more distance you create between your life and your trading results, the more stable you become.
