[🎯 Master @Moneytaur_]

Imagine acquiring the skills to generate consistent profits from these 24/7 markets where trillions of dollars are constantly in motion. You can then use these profits to experiment with your wildest ideas, gradually building valuable and profitable sources of income, all at little to no cost to you because you have extracted the funds from the markets.

Achieving this goal is possible if you commit to learning the necessary skills and remain persistent in pursuing this life-changing opportunity. You may believe that becoming a top trader, with truly exceptional skills, is difficult, especially given the abundance of misleading information circulating on the internet. However, the truth is that it can be done.

By devoting sufficient time and following the correct process, you can cultivate the necessary skills to achieve consistent results. This will not happen quickly/easy as plenty of gurus out there want to make you believe, but with perseverance and dedication, you can ultimately live the life of your dreams. Just because you haven't achieved your financial freedom so far, doesn't mean you can't find the right path to success now. The reality is that the system is designed to keep you in the rat race and prevent you from venturing outside the norm. However, there's much more to life than simply following the crowd. It's up to you to break free from the confines of the system and forge your own path towards a more fulfilling life.

Before diving into this world and studying the right strategies + working on your midset, it's essential to have confidence in your ability to achieve your full potential. But if you truly believe that your ultimate destiny is to work for someone else and never attain true freedom, then that's exactly what you will get.

If you approach it with a defeatist attitude, it's highly unlikely that you will achieve success. It's crucial to have confidence in your ability to turn things around and take control of your financial future. Fortunately, there are numerous resources available to help you learn the necessary skills, despite the abundance of shit information.

You could be financially free in the next 3 years, and this would allow you to avoid being another victim of whatever's coming...
You decide. Opportunity is here. You're reading this from one of your best tools to improve yourself.

Look around...
Everyone's in survival mode. That environment is keeping you grounded. Make the needed changes. If people around you are keeping you grounded, you must let go. You only have one life.

I’m going to step away from the crypto market till (atleast) next weekend. I need to reset.

Took multiple L’s, with some emotional decisions in there:

- Taking lower quality short setups because I wanted to participate in the move I was expecting (FOMO), got stopped and price moved in my direction.

- Longing demand because I wanted price to go back up so I could short it. I felt FOMO on the shorts, which made me put too much weight on long setups I normally wouldn’t have taken (or would’ve taken on lower risk) if I was already positioned.

These emotions likely also crept in because I missed some very good plays that got frontran or happened during Asia session.

Honestly, these are probably just the surface level reasons.

[Wyckoff Paradox @wyckoff_paradox]

Don't trust me. Backtest it and see for yourself.

Follow rules until invalidation, manage your risk and you will be just fine.

Bet on "this time is different" and you will most likely learn the hard way. You didn't think of it when you were backtesting pure price action.

[Mario Mansour @Mariomnsr]

Good ole crypto update

Personally, not interested in buying spot heavily yet as my outlook remains bearish

Some alts initially pumped aggressively, like SUI, to only fully retrace the entire move.

You then had names like NEAR, INJ, and HYPE showing strength for a decent period of time

And just recently XLM stepped on the gas.

So, its clear that not the entire alt market is performing but only a select few, at different periods.

Kudos if you managed to catch any of those strong moves, but personally, I’m waiting to see broader strength from majors before deploying heavy into spot.

My thesis still favors further downside pressure. However that doesn’t mean some alts can’t continue outperforming during relief bounces. Currently it’s only isolated names carrying momentum. I’d rather operate in an environment where the sector as a whole is showing strength.

Now you may ask why I still lean bearish:

> Macro conditions still look bearish
>> BTC continues to remain weak (from my perspective)
>>> USDT.D printed a three-drive pattern followed by strength

There’s also a 4th reason based on pattern recognition. It involves two majors sharing very similar MS + key levels... except one already played out in the past. In other words, it potentially paints a picture of what the other major asset is likely to do next.

It’s not picture perfect, but the similarities are very close. See if you can spot it. I’ll post it sometime next week.

For now, I’m allowing around 5–10% early capital deployment into spot for a handful of alts showing strength at discounted key levels within their current range
(INJ, NEAR, TON, XLM)

To me, that’s simply putting a foot in the door in case my analysis is wrong.

Some people may think 5-10% is too little and that I’d miss significant upside if the market rips higher, but I strictly operate based on my thesis. That 5-10% is simply my buffer incase I’m wrong.

Will provide further updates as more PA develops 😀

Some weeks ago I would have closed in fear on this retracement. Now I try to think two steps ahead and see another opportunity building for a possible reaction in the future.

[Albert @Albert_618]

When you start looking for answers and for perfection in your trades the outcome will be disappointing.

You won't execute. You are stuck in fear of losing and you are never satisfied with your performance, because there is simply none.

You see me post a lot of trades that play out. But every shown win comes with a loss. Sometimes I have a perfect entry. Sometimes not.

You don't need to know what happens next. You simply need to execute your Setup when it appears. When you hesitate because you "don't know if it works" you already lost.

Free your mind.

[Fallen @Fallen21100]

I would like to come back to this trade

I think it is important for me to realize that I have the capacity to trade, the most important part is now the psychology behind it

I am still afraid to win and i have to fix that.

Do not overcomplicate your trades as I do.

[Fallen @Fallen21100]

Seeing this setup with confluence with fibs (I would also say MS as I would try to long the LH?)
Playing with channels a bit, oh it coincides with the middle of it?

Something tells me i should try it
Would you try it?

[Fallen @Fallen21100]

So I’ve been out of my trade for good, after seeing the latest price I was tempted to re enter but as I will be busy today I will not do it.

Very happy with the outcome of the trade

I have also traded FET but I was lazy about the TPing and decided to close also at 33%gains

[Abundance | Capital Rotation @mr_abundance_]

The problem is putting your belief or hope for what is possible for you into a vehicle not the driver.

An asset, a prop firm, a job is a vehicle for money to come into your hands,

Vehicles are replaceable.

The problem is having it the wrong way around,
that you are replaceable and your money vehicle is not

"If I fail this prop challenge, it's over for me"
"if BTC goes to zero I'm F£$Kd"
"If gold doesn't keep pushing ot $10k there is no hope"
"If I lose this job , I'm screwed"
"Only if this swing trade hits can I make $1M"

Completely different to
My next $1M is inevitable,
I'm highly skilled, I have the systems, resourcefulness and psycholgy such that
whether through this job, this business,
or this trade setup,
My financial goals are as good as already done.

[Abundance | Capital Rotation @mr_abundance_]

If you NEED a $10,000 gold
If you NEED a $1M Bitcoin
If you NEED a altseason
If you NEED a prop firm
To achieve your financial freedom goals, you’re already a loser.

If your belief on hitting your financial freedom goals is tied to anything other than:

The kind of person you are
The level of skill you built

Any money that you do get,
Will find its way back to those

The the identity and skillset that makes financial freedom a natural,
Unavoidable byproduct.

You can read every book or podcast on Bitcoin or Commodity super cycles, collect every trading book

And still end up broke, even if you make some big gains at one point.

Why?

Because you don’t rise to the quality of money information you hear,

You fall to the level of quality information wired into your nervous system.

[Hoodstock @hoodstock_80]

Hello leverage lovers.

Before we get to the @Moneytaur_ topic of the week, I would like to emphasise that I am learning, and I celebrate the opportunity to be made aware of flaws in my logic or mistakes.

Ok, let's get to it, this weeks topic is...

- PATTERNS -

In this write-up, we will focus on a select few chart patterns that MT integrates into his trading framework. We also touch on how patterns act as psychological traps, used to herd retail into predictable behaviour.

MT doesn’t rely on traditional patterns like flags or triangles. His system is liquidity-driven. However, identifying accumulation and distribution remains crucial. Two patterns, in particular, serve as clear indicators of SM’s intent.

These patterns can also give us powerful queues in combination with key liquidity levels and may help us predict with even more clarity where PA is likely headed.

“The most powerful skill in the markets is the ability to identify the most aggressive reversal points, whales traps, well before portfolios crumble into dust.” https://t.co/dv83lD05s1

-------

- Taur’s Patterns of Choice

MT’s primary utility for patterns lies in detecting accumulation or distribution phases. MT refers to these signals as “footprints” and help us gauge market makers intent. This is expanded on in the price action post. https://t.co/WL4dMImNMf

Sharp pattern recognition strengthens your market structure reading and improves your confidence in execution. When combined with sentiment, news, P&D, fibs, and other tools, they add another layer of confluence.

“You can study my theory. You can learn my technical analysis. But you can’t replicate my critical thinking, my pattern recognition, or my ability to cut through noise as those are products of my own journey. They’re earned, not taught.” https://t.co/Gc5yupXMae

The patterns Taur pays attention to are core components of Wyckoff structures. The Three Drive, in particular, often acts as an early tell, with the third drive frequently marking the macro top. Recognising these setups in context of P&D and the broader cycle, can lead to highly favourable entries and exits.

-------

- Three Drive Pattern

A Three Drive pattern is three consecutive impulses:

• Bullish = 3 x LH/LL

• Bearish = 3 x HH/HL

Why would three higher highs be bearish?

Because the pattern supports a narrative: “The trend is your friend.” It seduces retail into joining, just as SM distributes. Every buyer needs a seller. This pattern creates that demand, supported by the hype cycle.

Location is critical. A three drive forming into major liquidity, fuelled by supportive news, is engineered. The goal isn’t to let the crowd win. It’s to trap them at extremes.

🔺 “Bullish” structure creates buyers, “bearish” structure creates sellers.

- Technicals

Not all sequences of HH/HL qualify as a valid Three Drive. Context defines its significance.

- Confirmation Factors

• Context: Where is it forming?
• MTF body closes above prior highs help confirm Drives 2 and 3
• Reactions at key fibs (0.5, 0.618, 0.705, 0.786). Peaks often align with extensions or negative fibs
• Symmetry in drive structure
• Nearby FVGs and liquidity to collect

As always: HTF > MTF > LTF

Question: "to consider the tree drives, its just needed to take the last high?"
MT: “A high above 2nd drive.”
Question: “We need a body, right?”
MT: “There are MTF bodies above 2nd drive. I called it 3 drives already so no point to wonder if it’s confirmed or not.” https://t.co/wl0EBRj9Vb

- Symmetry

The cleaner the pattern, the more it should raise suspicion. Retail is drawn to neat, easy to read formations, but natural price action is often messy. When a structure looks overly clean, it’s likely engineered. Easily recognisable, seemingly reliable, and designed to instil confidence.

In this SPX example:
• Each leg spans 12 bars
• Untouched key liquidity below
• Multiple fib reactions
• Occurs into a clear supply zone

- Timing

MT defines timing for the third drive. It should form within double the time span of Drive 1 to Drive 2. More uniform = more reliable.

“The longer it takes for the third drive to hit, the lower its probability. I measure a third drive by allowing no more than double the timeframe between the first and second highs, which means it should form within 68 days past the ATH, landing in late March.” https://t.co/ivnxdfOxs2

-------

- Head & Shoulders

Every H&S was once a potential Three Drive. These structures often appear in proximity and share the same intent: distribution at premium.

As shown in the example, Three Drive structures can evolve into a H&S. The right shoulder often becomes the “complacency shoulder”, a final push that signals exhaustion and the likely end of the move.

The pattern gives SM multiple windows to sell. The head is the climax, driven by euphoric news. The right shoulder is the final exit, a moment of hope sold as a healthy correction.

Inverse H&S operates identically, just in reverse.

Another strength lies in its familiarity. Retail knows it. They trade the neckline breakout or breakdown. That predictability makes it easy to manipulate and profitable for MMs.

“2 patterns that matter which show market maker’s true intentions:

head & shoulders (and inverse)

three drives patternEverything else is to keep retail blind from the truth on the charts (whales’ footprints)” https://t.co/OjKs6HxLwn

-------

- Double Tops and Bottoms

Double tops and bottoms deserve an honourable mention. These structures form where large buy or sell orders were previously filled and where momentum eventually reversed, making them natural zones of liquidity that often see reactions again.

Of all the patterns discussed, DTs and DBs are the most obvious and also the most “organic.” MT frequently uses them as profit-taking spots, especially when key liquidity has been left behind.

They are also prime setups for manipulation. Because they’re so widely watched, DTs and DBs are prime targets for liquidity grabs and SFPs.

-------

- Long-Term Patterns

The brain thrives on repetition. Once a pattern is ingrained, we stop questioning it.

The longer a structure builds, the more violent the eventual break will likely be. It’s the moment when no one expects it. The best thing we can do as traders is to consistently question our bias and hone our critical thinking.

“Anything prior to 2021 was the built-up for the coup de grâce up until the end of the decade. The herd needs long-term charts showing the same patterns so they fall for it over and over again… Most will lose everything they own, and some deserve such outcome.” https://t.co/7OoTzflYn7

Part of MT’s edge lies in pattern recognition, not just in price, but in the herd, SM and in himself.

In Videoformat. My thoughts and when I enter, where I TP and why I think it makes sense.

If you have an Asset that you try to master I recommend journal every single step. Everything that repeats. Everything that happens at specific times. Its important.

[Albert @Albert_618]

I again see people post things without execution or a „before“.

Show your execution or it didn‘t happen. Theres NOTHING inbetween.

Before + After + Execution - otherwise you are faking something.

Ahhhh and f*** your excuses.

[🎯 Master @Moneytaur_]

When you frequently see bullish news ["pumpamentals"] while the price continues to drop for several weeks to months, you're basically in denial, being scammed by the largest holders who want you to buy their bags.
