How to Enter a trade BEFORE an explosive move (with high accuracy)

[@danman2070]

SMB....The most professional firm in the world! Your contributions to the trading community worldwide are immeasurable. Thanks for all your efforts....

[@dan6831]

They are good but remove negative comments. See below which I posted on 9/25/24 Nice video, but why is everything a “Secret”? It is verbatim from “A Complete Guide To Volume Price Analysis by Anna Coulling” available on Amazon for $23, which many traders have read. A good video but nothing original and credit should be given to Anna Coulling and not described as a “secret” from SMB trader. Unbecoming marketing to hook newbies. THE ABOVE IS A SIMILAR REPOST FROM 9/24 WHICH WAS REMOVED by????? This is unethical behavior.

Ive watched a number of your previous videos. I understand that youre providing value to gain customers, which is fine of course. I know quite a bit but always looking to learn and grow. Im sure most viewers are unaware of just how much true value you guys provide and without wasting our time with fluff... Thanks for being you!

[@MagaliGoncalves-q5t]

Now, I Just realized that the secret to making a million is saving for better trades. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money trading. For example last year I Traded with 10k in Crypto and made about $146k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million

The process of trading can be complicated when you have limited knowledge. However, with the right strategy and setups, you can be successful. I’m guided by Ryan Donald. A widely known crypto consultant

[@DorotheaWeiss-s6z]

[@sbespn3820]

One trick I've learned with volume and any momentum indicator like stochastics is if you start to see price consolidate sideways while volume is drying up, and at the same time your momentum indicator is oversold, this is often a good sign of accumulation and a good sign of continuation once the consolidation is over.

[@JM-um3ql]

I wait for another confirmation of volume breaking out of the sideways base for those big and fast moves

[@garrettdrinon]

great observation

[@garrettdrinon]

[@RandyColby-mj1zm]

ategies that can help you increase the likelihood of entering a trade before a big move. One is monitoring technical indicators like breakouts from key levels of support or resistance, and volume spikes

[@findtruth5329]

Yeah I’d like to hear more as well please

[@Soufyeno]

volume is king no matter what strategy you use volume + price action always the best

[@garrettdrinon]

agree!

[@5GWGuerillaFighter]

Yeah! I'm working on a leading indicator that traces out the average of historical price action's relative percentage move predicated on rate of change in both the price action and volume. I have an optional day of the week filter too. Works pretty well just on price action data but I'm adding in volume RoC as a further refinement. Tradingviews computational limitations suck though and so I don't get to use very much historical data. Still works pretty good though! And this use of standard deviations is interesting. Standard deviations is how the RSI works.

[@meninotraquino]

Technical analysis, sharp insights, and solid strategies are crucial for success in trading. Understanding market trends and making informed decisions can make all the difference. A big shoutout to Loraine Souvenir for her exceptional guidance and support in mastering these essential skills! so glad I started her program.

[@hping168]

Having access to reliable information is crucial for us as investors to succeed both financially and in life. This is valuable, I've just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage without sweat, very much appreciate this

[@kimbilmem-q3c]

It's unexpected to come across her name here. She understands every beginner’s intention and fix you to a trading course that matches your capacity, she knows her stuff! Her advice has been invaluable to my trading journey. Definitely worth giving a shot!

[@OscarReed-o4d]

It's truly refreshing to see a comment about Loraine Souvenir. I've also had the pleasure of working with her for several months after discovering more about her online. She has a knack for simplifying complex issues, whether it's a market surge or decline. Her approach consistently keeps you ahead of the curve. I'd call her a guru, for sure

[@colzi10]

The beauty of her approach is her dual focus: while she aggressively pursues profit opportunities, she's equally tenacious about shielding investors from potential pitfalls. It's a balance few can achieve. This approach has enabled me to navigate the financial landscape effectively, making well-informed decisions about when to buy and sell.

[@TelikeZ]

I'm so impressed knowing how much people talk good about her expertise. Over the years, l've been a part of numerous trading programs, sifting through a barrage of information. Yet, nothing has come close to the sheer clarity, depth, and precision of Loraine's insights. It's akin to finding a diamond in a coal mine.

I really do have a question. For someone with less than $5,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach?

Crypto is risky as many would say but I think the actual risk in Crypto is not investing, buying the capitulation isn't a tough call, but it is a very tough call to figure out what to do aside holding. I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time

Hi @garrettdrinon - Really well explained as always. Regarding your "average volume" that your standard deviation indicator is based on, do you use an SMA or EMA, and what parameters do you use (period etc)?

[@garrettdrinon]

i use a simple moving average but it doesn’t make a big difference - the lookback depends what you want to measure for example on a daily chart like to look back 50 candles and on an intraday chart i like to look back a weeks worth of bars etc

Thanks a lot for the video. I trade index , mainly Dow jones. i was wondering if this is applicable to dow, and if the RVOL is usable on dow. Since its a price weighted index, i guess it would make differences with es and nq.

[@garrettdrinon]

volume matters for sure, but the differences (variance in high volume data) will be much less severe than an individual name - doing 50% more volume than average is pretty big for an index where doing 500% more is big for a stock

@@garrettdrinon what I don't like is the fact that the opening volume bars and the closing bars have significant higher volume than the rest of the bars pushing the average up in an uneven way. Have you considered removing those first and last bars from the computation of the average?

@@siarhiejrutenka6483 no because those bars exist and matter, but i agree the intraday cycle of volume makes relative volume a challenge to measure well intraday

[@AJohnson0325]

It should be pretty easy to code. Instead of using the lookback period for the close you just use the volume. Different software can have their own coding language but I would recommend to learn it. Most people are too lazy to learn to code to backtest, make custom scans, custom indicators, etc.
