Possible 30R Gold Long - Swing trade - Smart Money Concepts/ICT1. Price has come back to mitigate the 4H +FVG (Fair Value Gap) created on the 4th April, sweeping a PDL (Previous Day's Low) in the process to clean out the stop losses of anyone in early longs from this past week. This is an early entry signal and I have started to scale in with a scalp. (This higher risk trading, and not financial advice!)
2. Price has also retraced to a W +OB (Order Block)
3. We have SMT divergence with Silver, which has not swept the same low; another bullish signal in SMC (Smart Money Concepts) - although it would be better to have the SMT divergence with the previous structure than the current one as this is still unconfirmed (Silver can still make a lower low!)
ENTRY: ***IF*** price displaces/moves impulsively away now on the 15m timeframe, it can come back to fill the 15m +BPR (Balanced Price Range) left after the sweep of the 4th April lows. a 15m ChoCh (Change of Character) A.K.A. MSS (Market Structure Shift) would be ideal, but the last 15m swing high to be broken is a bit far away so the BPR fill is the alternative. This also lines up with the 4H +FVG which has a 4H +OB/Demand Zone below it.
I have placed my stop loss below the Pennant's rPOC (Range Point Of Control) for a peace of mind instead of the wick of the stop hunt.
I will post a zoomed in chart below.
40R EURUSD Long Swing Trade (Smart Money Concepts)Testing one of my smart money concepts swing trading strategies using an early entry based on day trading setup. The setup normally involves a sweep of a 4h choch/MSS deep in premium/discount, then a daily pin bar or hammer, or a 4h choch.
Previous Day Opening Gap has been filled on DXY as well as three months of liquidity swept.
This early entry utilizes a long from a trendline following another strategy of mine. If successful, will take the majority of the position off after daily FVG fills and leave some on to run as a swing trade.
#SPX500 Review by Artem Yaskiv @smart4trader September 5, 2019 On Wednesday, after the opening of the US stock market, stock prices rose on the NASDAQ exchange, which served as a driver for the growth of prices for the SPX500, as well as for the DowJones 30 and NASDAQ 100. Since the beginning of the trading session, the SPX500 index initially fell slightly, but still strong overall purchases on the NASDAQ nevertheless affected the price and the closing of the market on Wednesday was on the positive side.
skrinshoter.ru
At the beginning of Thursday, the price was fixed for the zone of the upper weekly volatility of 2948 and the goal is the upper zone of the monthly volatility of 2996. However, I am haunted by the thought of negative PMI (ISM) reports and I still think that by the end of the month the price for the SPX500 index will still be in the red zone. On the other hand, lowering the interest rate on September 18 may serve to create support for the entire stock market and raise the price of all US stock indices. The current arithmetic interest rate of 1.82%, which indicates a greater likelihood of easing the Fed's policy and cheaper loans make the business more profitable and, accordingly, large capitals will invest more in the stock market.
skrinshoter.ru
The cumulative delta of stock index futures is mainly growing, with the exception of the DowJones index, which in the last hours even closes purchases or opens sales, which is why the delta decline is associated.
skrinshoter.ru
The recommendation for today will still be an aggressive buy on the correction from the area of ??the upper weekly volatility of 2948 with a target of 2996.
For more restrained transactions, I recommend waiting for the stock market to open, in addition today there are a lot of financial indicators and watching the aggregate movement of shares on the NASDAQ exchange, in order to receive a better signal for entry.

#SPX500 review from @smart4trader September 3, 2019SPX500
Yesterday, Monday was the day off in the USA and, in fact, all the actions of the index market participants were only speculative. No data were received from the NASDAQ exchange and, accordingly, it was difficult to determine which of the positions to enter. Also, lower liquidity created increased intra-day market volatility. On Friday, the SPX500 met resistance in the area of ??the 2933 monthly volatility zone. Since the opening of the stock market on Friday to the present day, the price has continued to decline and is between the two 2911 daily and 2889 weekly volatility zones. The opening of the European market also shows a declining trend, and this in turn negatively affects the price of all indices.
skrinshoter.ru
Today's important event will be the publication of PMI reports on production in the USA and this event will tell the further direction of the market until a decision on the US interest rate (September 18, 2019), which is likely to be further reduced to 1.75%, as evidenced by a mathematical calculation based on 30- daily bonds where the majority of experts in the amount of 97.3% speak of a decrease to the range of 2% - 1.75% from the current level of 2.25% established on July 31, 2019.
skrinshoter.ru
skrinshoter.ru
Also yesterday, you could notice a very serious change in the cumulative delta in the DowJones 30 and NASDAQ 100 indices, as well as a sideways movement in the SP500 index, which also indicates an event to reduce prices for all US stock indices
skrinshoter.ru
If you noticed, then the SPX500 index just differed in its dynamics of the cumulative delta from the rest, which in turn can be used in pair trading (statistical arbitrage).
Selling DowJones 30 (1 contract)
Purchase of SP500 (9 contracts)
skrinshoter.ru
And for fans of linear trading, I recommend waiting for the PMI reports and, based on a detailed review of these reports, which I will publish the next day, you can judge the further movement of the SPX500 stock index. For those who still can’t wait to enter into the deal, sales within the framework of the day before the publication of reports will be more appropriate than purchases. The final goal is to choose the lower zone of monthly volatility of 2820.

#SPX500 review from @smart4trader September 2, 2019SPX500
The beginning of a new month for indexes is a rather expected event. Today is September 2, 2019 and the USA is a day off. Accordingly, PMI reports are postponed to Tuesday and we will expect detailed figures for making trading decisions. However, last week on Wednesday and Thursday we could observe a sufficient increase in the indices including the SPX500 index. Also on the NASDAQ exchange, stocks were very aggressively bought up (indicated in the picture). On Friday, after reaching the monthly volatility zone in the region of 2933, there was still a pullback, which went 50% in the opposite direction from Wednesday-Friday and stopped at the 2911 daily volatility zone. In anticipation of the opening of the market on Tuesday in view of the publication of statistics for August, today It is worth to refrain from transactions.
skrinshoter.ru
The cumulative delta in the DowJones30 and SPX500 indices is in an upward trend, which indicates a possible increase, however, the NASDAQ100 index still moves sideways and does not provide an objective assessment of the market
skrinshoter.ru
As the NASDAQ100 is moving in the opposite direction from other US stock indexes, you can consider the option of pair trading.

#SPX500 review by SMART4TRADER 08/29/2019Today, Thursday, August 29, 2019, the SPX500 index at the opening of the European stock market rushed up to the zone of monthly volatility of 2933. This is a good sign of the continuation of a long-term upward trend. On Monday, we expect reports on the index in the US manufacturing sector - PMI, which will tell you about the affairs in this area of ??the economy of the United States. Also yesterday, purchases of securities were observed on the NASDAQ exchange, and there was lateral movement on the AMEX exchange in the first half of the session, and then growth began in the second half as well. Therefore, today the priority is shopping to break through zone 2933
skrinshoter.ru
Judging by the cumulative delta of futures for the DowJones, SP500 and NASDAQ indices, a steady upward delta is visible, which confirms the intentions of large participants in the trend up

The DOWJONES - NASDAQ * 3 spread chart also shows profit taking and the transition from arbitrage trading to classical, linear trading

Smart Money Concepts swing trading odyssey|Ep.12|8R long|EURUSDBack yet again with the Phase C continuation limit order entry model for swing trading, using ICT's SMC toolkit. This is again being documented as a reference for my future YouTube channel.
This description took too long to write, sorry if price has moved away from where I got tagged in...
So, these Phase C swing trades are proving to be a bane - the last one on Gold went sideways for about 2 weeks leading to me closing it today before inflation news with DXY showing weakness.
Fed sentiment: Hawkish? The bond market says another 0.25% rate hike is likely and I think it has been priced in for a while. US inflation slowly coming down; 5% down to 4% y/y. Month on month it's not improving though and employment is only just starting to maybe drop, meaning room for another interest rate hike to tighten the economy.
Trader sentiment: risk on (inflation easing + stock market rallying)
On the Euro side, employment seems to be going up, and inflation is still too high. A rate hike is practically a given with the ECB having room to do it.
Overall sentiment: The 0.25% rate hike seems to be baked in, and in spite of that, EURUSD continues to form a technical pattern that implies it's going higher. If the Fed doesn't make the expected rate hike, it will likely just accelerate Euro's move up.
I am forecasting a technical move up more than a fundamental one. At LEAST to fill in the weekly FVG - if not breaking the last supply zone creating a new high for the year - but with the Fed expected to hold rates ~5% until possibly 2024 v.s. the pace of Europe's hikes and their stagnant GDP putting a limiter on their hikes, right now I don't see how EURUSD could rally much higher than that (but maybe this is just a lack of understanding on my part?)
Technicals: W pattern formed on daily TF creating new demand zone. SMT divergence with the DXY gives me confidence that market makers won't push price lower during FOMC tomorrow.
Entry: Phase C pullback into discount/50% of 4h swing low/daily bullish OB. As I said above, the SMT divs with Dollar gives me confidence to put my stop below the last 4h swing low despite news tomorrow, which could give an opportunity to scale in with bigger size, providing Euro doesn't just slip 60 pips in the blink of an eye.
Exit/Terminus: mid-point of the gap (volume imbalance) on the weekly TF + old weekly high, which is an 8R trade. I plan to partial at the last supply zone which begins at ~$1.09500.
Confidence: 7.5/10 for directional bias & 6/10 that they won't stop me out during FOMC tomorrow 😋.
Here is the weekly chart. Notice the red box which is the volume imbalance I am using as my Terminus/DOL:
Smart Money Concepts swing trading odyssey|Ep.11|11R short|GoldTesting my own Phase C continuation limit order entry model for swing trading, using ICT's SMC toolkit.
Fed sentiment: Hawkish? bond yields up/possibly more hikes/USD strength
Trader sentiment: risk on? (Nasdaq rally/debt ceiling raise talks/inflation easing?)
Supply/Demand factors: people still in employment and spending money means demand
Overall sentiment: should be bullish if not for hawkish fed and dollar strength
Technicals: Gold overbought/in premium on higher timeframes, double top pattern yet to finish playing out. SMT divergence with Silver
Entry: Phase C pullback into premium of 4h swing high/fair value gap. tightened up stop because swept PDH (prev day high) giving a nice potential 11R return

Smart Money Sell Setup on Gold (15-Min TF)# Smart Money Sell Setup on Gold (15-Min TF)
### 🔍 Market Context:
Gold has recently formed a strong bullish retracement after a sharp impulsive bearish move. Now, price has returned to a critical zone — the **Equilibrium level (EQ)** — which also aligns with a **valid supply zone** and **bearish trendline resistance**.
This zone is often considered the "decision point" where Smart Money evaluates whether to continue upward or resume the previous bearish trend.
---
## 📉 Strategy: Sell Limit Based on Structure + Liquidity
### ✅ Entry Zone:
**3341.500 – 3343.000**
(At the EQ zone + premium pricing area)
### 🛑 Stop Loss:
**Above 3345.000**
(Just beyond the last liquidity wick and top of supply)
### 🎯 Take Profit Targets:
- **TP1:** 3338.000 → First demand zone
- **TP2:** 3332.500 → Liquidity sweep target under previous lows
### 📐 Risk to Reward Ratio:
**1:3 or higher**, depending on execution precision.

## 🔎 Confluences Supporting the Setup:
| Factor | Confirmation |
|--------|--------------|
| EQ Zone (50% of previous move) | ✅ |
| Supply Zone | ✅ |
| Bearish Trendline Resistance | ✅ |
| Liquidity above EQ | ✅ |
| CHoCH + BOS (Market Structure Shift) | ✅ |
---
## 🧠 Why This Setup Works:
This is a classic **"Premium Price Rejection"** in a bearish environment, combining:
- Institutional logic (EQ level)
- Structural resistance (previous BOS)
- Liquidity traps above
---
## 🧵 Summary:
- **Sell Limit:** 3341.5 – 3343
- **SL:** 3345
- **TP1:** 3338
- **TP2:** 3332.5
- **RR:** 1:3+
- **Style:** Smart Money / Liquidity + Structure Based

Smart Money Strategy: Short Opportunity with EUR/JPY Smart Money Strategy: Opportunity with EUR/JPY at Key Fibonacci Levels
The EUR/JPY pair is currently facing downward pressure, trading around 161.10, as speculation mounts over a potential rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ). With market expectations nearing a 92% likelihood of a rate increase by the BoJ in their upcoming January meeting, this could push short-term borrowing rates to the highest since the 2008 financial crisis, bolstering the Japanese Yen.
Key Levels for Strategic Entry:
Optimal Short Entry :
Focus on the 162.103 level, where the pair may encounter significant resistance.
Fibonacci Reversal Points
: The 0.75 and 0.71 levels are more than technical markers; they are critical points where institutional investors—often referred to as the 'smart money'—typically engage. These levels are key for identifying potential shifts in market dynamics.
This trade is not just about capitalizing on market trends—it's about strategically positioning at a technically significant level to maximize the potential for profits.

Liquidity sweep below SSL toward 177
POI + OB confluence = sniper re-entry zone
Bullish explosion toward 195+

Bias: Still Bullish unless $1.0574 (Day Low/Structure) is invalidated
Key Observations:
✅ Choch → BOS → MSS confirms accumulation.
🔥 Price retesting Bull Golden Zone (1.0615 - 1.0759)
📍 Clean OB above near Day High ($1.0913) — target for long entries.
🚨 But if liquidity dump happens, POI zone at $1.00 is your trap-to-attack point. That’s where smart money will likely load.
⚔️ What to Do (Pro Strategy)
Buy Setup #1 (Safer):
Watch for reaction inside Bull Golden Zone.
Confirmation: Small BOS or bullish engulfing.
🎯 TP: $1.0913 | 🛑 SL: Below $1.0574
Buy Setup #2 (Deep Trap Entry):
If price melts to POI Zone (0.998–1.02), look for reversal + confirmation.
