The Commodities Super Cycle: Big Moves Do Not Come With a Surprise! By, Gabriel Grammatidis

When trading multi-bar visual price patterns, big moves do not come with a surprise! The patterns can be spotted well in advance and the potential for a possible big price increase can be identified before it occurs.

The Macro Trader Trap: A Unique Situation in the Futures Markets By, Gabriel Grammatidis

The USD Index (DX) has generated a Quarterly Short Failure signal, meaning the USD should gain in strength showing a quick, strong momentum move. Basically all asset classes that are already in long-term bulls may see, as a consequence, some volatile countertrend reactions within the overall uptrends.

Sit in on two higher-timeframe analyses as Gabriel Grammatidis examines recent Futures and Forex market action in the following videos.

The Market Rewards You With Big Rs, But… By, Gabriel Grammatidis

You Cannot Control the Market The market gives and takes. And, we have little—I would even say— no control over that. Still, most traders are trying to do exactly that: trying to control the market so that it goes in the direction they want. We all know this is not possible. So, why are traders trying to do exactly that? Because, this is how we are conditioned to be successful in life: the bigger our dreams, the stronger our intention.
