@ErikHovhannis14 @wyckoff_paradox Understandable. I wish him the best. Not my type of a trader.

@astronomer_zero Are you entering MO ? What was your confluence for the entry, Order Flow, USDT.D or something else?

[Cred @CryptoCred]

As someone who loves trading technicals

I think learning about markets via technicals (like I did) is one of the worst ways to start

It’s a rigid framework where grown men argue with each other about the exact Japanese name for a specific candlestick or a box they’ve drawn on an arbitrary time frame

It doesn’t teach you the foundations - why markets move, different types of participants, microstructure, order types and their impact, perps vs spot, and all that stuff - market ‘plumbing’ as a category

One of the biggest issues with being hyperfocused on technicals is that they don’t teach you principles and market effects

Most technical setups can be decomposed into broad buckets which are well-established (trend, mean reversion, momentum, order flow / price impact, vol clustering etc.)

A lot of technical analysis is an often unknowing attempt to map those broad market effects into a recognisable pattern

But even a technical-first view is better served by understanding the underlying market effect first and then decomposing it, as opposed to focusing on the specific pattern without ever looking at what’s happening under the hood

“This type of triangle tends to go up” is a lot less useful than “this type of flow tends to resolve higher over N time frame”, even if you use the same triangle to identify it

Another example: if you’re drawing a support level and buying it, you’re assuming some version of buyers being more aggressive than sellers in that area over a given time frame and predicting a higher price as a result - but what does that mean?

Shorts closing / taking profit, allowing for mean reversion? Aggressive sellers being absorbed by passive buyers? Some price insensitive buyer predictably stepping in at a value area? Sellers getting margin called and forcibly trading at bad prices/causing a dislocation? Clustering of orders creating some sort of imbalance? And so on.

There’s definitely a risk of overthinking this stuff, and you can make money from charts alone

But if you haven’t thought about the underlying market effects and ‘plumbing’ for your setups you’ll likely be stuck in rigid pattern matching that doesn’t generalise and isn’t subject to deeper investigation and more nuanced application

Even if your main lens remains TA-focused, there is no harm in understanding the stuff you’re trading on a product level (eg perp contract specs, OI, funding, mark/last/index etc) and on a foundational level (why and how markets move)

Especially now that you can jam this stuff into an LLM and keep saying “dumb it down” until you get it, no excuse not to do your homework

This is something I really wish I did much earlier in my trading life, so hopefully it resonates with a fellow trader stuck in TA psychosis spending his mum’s credit card on a fourth Udemy candlestick course

Anyway GM

@Mariomnsr Wtf..

[Еркан Е. Иляzzow @erkanch0]

@MariusSm1th In this case where SL would be placed? OP is a bad option, in my opinion, in this case. Even 0.705 fib is not covering all the MTF blocks, even if they are not the target. Most of the time they are still getting taken with wick. I'm sorry if I'm annoying.

[Еркан Е. Иляzzow @erkanch0]

@Innerdevcrypto @Moneytaur_ is the only difference.

[Еркан Е. Иляzzow @erkanch0]

@astronomer_zero Did you put LO or it was MO?

[Еркан Е. Иляzzow @erkanch0]

@Bbaka_Crypto True!
I am also building personal portable app for journaling and can confirm that. For a week, without paying for claude, you can be done with a pretty good app. Claude is a monster!

@CryptoChase02 Also trying to short it from 2.26$

[Еркан Е. Иляzzow @erkanch0]

@CryptoChase02 Same. Sold around 50% at 5D and MTF BB's at around 2.25. Will reload at 4D 2xFVG at 1.35$.

[Еркан Е. Иляzzow @erkanch0]

@samuraipips358 Nice answer.

[Еркан Е. Иляzzow @erkanch0]

@MariusSm1th Damn, 20 sec for LTF scan is GG.

I found the best way to bankrupt the government.

It comes from a Russian quantum physicist.

---

In 2004, a man named Vadim Zeland wrote a book titled, "Reality Transurfing."

In the book, he introduces a concept called “pendulums” that explains why fighting the government never works.

The government's operation is absurd.

-$39 trillion in debt
-Funding wars you never voted for
-Printing money whenever they want
-Endlessly taxing you in every direction
-Selling new bonds to pay off old bonds
-Politicians retiring as multimillionaires on $174,000 salaries

But here’s the thing…

Accountability won’t come from the system. That’s why Zeland’s concept of “pendulums” is so important.

A pendulum is anything that lives off your attention and emotion (energy-in-motion).

Religions, political movements, businesses, group chats, diet trends… these are all pendulums that feed on attention and energy.

If the world collectively withdrew its energy from Buddhism, Buddhism would dissolve.

If America collectively withdrew its energy from the Democratic or Republican party, it would dissolve.

It’s like food to a person. If you stop giving it food, it will die.

Your government is a pendulum, but… there's a key point to understand.

The government feeds on your attention and your energy. But that is not its primary food source.

Its primary food source is fiat money. The money they print, control, and force you to use.

They have an unlimited supply of it. They can tax it however they want. They get to enforce the rules around it. Their money endlessly feeds them, by design.

That’s why you can vote whoever you want into office, but nothing will change — because the money hasn’t changed. Their primary source of fuel hasn’t changed.

The pendulum stays alive as long as their money stays alive.

That’s the key thing to understand. The money is the target.

If you actually want to end the government’s fraud, you have to stop using their money. You have to withdraw your energy from their system. You have to starve them.

You do that by starving the source of their food. If they can’t eat, they will die. If they don’t have their money, they will die.

If the government didn’t have an infinite source of money that they control at will, they could never rack up $39 trillion in debt. But because they *do* have an infinite source of money that they control at will, they have an endless source of food.

That’s the target.

It was never the politicians. It was always the money.

So how do you actually starve the pendulum?

Zeland gives us the answer — he calls it “extinguishing the pendulum.”

Every pendulum has a script it expects you to follow. The script is designed to provoke a reaction out of you, to get you to swing your energy toward the pendulum.

It wants to hook you like a fish.

For example, think of a hostile comment you receive online. That comment is a pendulum. It wants your energy.

When you defend yourself, think about a clever reply, escalate, hurl an insult back — you feed it.

The pendulum doesn’t care if you agree or disagree. It just wants your energy.

Complaining about the government only feeds the pendulum of the government. It’s exactly what the government wants. It wants you to bite. It wants to keep you in its frequency. It wants to keep you in its game.

So how do you actually win?

You don’t.

You leave the game.

Extinguishing the pendulum means breaking the script.

You break the script by offering an abnormal response.

When a pendulum tries to provoke you, you do something completely off-script, something that doesn’t fit the game it’s trying to play.

You shift to a different frequency and play a different game.

Suddenly, the pendulum has nothing to grab onto.

The best way to bankrupt the government is simple:

You stop using their money.

The government’s entire script is dependent on you using their money.

Their monetary system is designed to feed them energy.

When you work for their money, they tax it.

When you spend their money, they tax it.

When you hold their money, they quietly steal it through inflation.

Here’s the devastating part.

To function in modern life, you need money — and the fiat monetary system is designed as a monopoly.

They create legal tender laws which mandate the use of their money — and their money only — for taxes and debts.

If you don’t pay your taxes in their money, you get fined, your assets get seized, or you get sent to jail.

They coerce you into their pendulum under the threat of violence.

It’s the trap inside the trap. It’s not just that they feed on fiat money. It’s that they’ve made it illegal to not use fiat money.

For as long as fiat governments have existed, there was no true off-script move.

You could complain. You could vote. You could move countries, only to find another version of the same system awaiting you.

You were always left inside their monetary system. You were always hooked to their pendulum.

The only real exit was leaving the grid entirely. You would have to stop using money, close your bank accounts, and disengage from modern life altogether.

People’s yearning to live “off-grid” is simply a desire to escape the fiat pendulum.

But they made it inescapable.

Until 2009.

---

Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin to be the off-script move.

The abnormal response.

The different game.

Bitcoin was designed to extinguish the pendulum of fiat.

Previously, it could never be done, because there was never a different frequency to shift to, other than going completely off-grid.

Bitcoin is, for the first time, the truly different frequency of money that you can shift to.

It doesn’t argue with fiat.

It doesn’t demand accountability.

It doesn’t run for office.

It doesn’t ask for permission.

It doesn’t try to reform the Fed, or audit gold, or pass legislation.

It doesn’t even acknowledge fiat as a worthy opponent.

It simply exists as a completely different frequency, governed by a completely different set of rules:

1. The protocol is neutral — it has no political ties.

2. The system is transparent — you can verify the rules for yourself.

3. The supply is fixed — it cannot be inflated.

4. The network is permissionless — you don't need permission from banks and governments to use it.

5. The protocol is decentralized — there is no central party manipulating the system.

6. The supply issuance is based on math — not what a group of elites thinks is best.

Every single one of those traits is the dead opposite of fiat.

Bitcoin swings the pendulum of money in the opposite direction — and that’s exactly what’s required to extinguish fiat.

No matter who you’ve voted for, the government hasn’t changed.

The system remains the same, because the money remains the same.

The off-script move isn’t to vote with your ballot. That’s the script fiat wants you to follow.

The off-script move is to vote with your money.

The off-script move is to stop using their money and shift to a different game.

That’s how you stop feeding the government.

That’s how you starve the pendulum.

The best part?

Zeland notes that when you extinguish a pendulum, its energy doesn’t disappear.

It returns to you.

Every dollar you hold in fiat is energy you’ve been losing your whole life — to inflation, to taxes, to a government with trillions in debt.

When you shift to Bitcoin, all of that energy comes back to you.

What previously went to the government and all their closest friends now flows to you.

That difference in energy is the pendulum being extinguished in real-time.

It’s the power shifting from the top of the system to you.

You don’t have to protest.

You don’t have to wait for an election.

You don’t have to vote anybody into office.

You can stop feeding their system, right now.

Bitcoin exists, right now. The network is open. For anybody, at any time.

All you have to do is shift.

That’s how it ends.
