17 years ago today, Eli Manning and the Giants took down Brady and the Patriots. Madjacks was throwing a helluva a Super Bowl party in Vegas. Jack hit multiple Jacks or Betters that morning over bloody Mary’s, we downed some libations, played some craps and I’m sure I had a few too many as was my mo back in the day. Can’t believe I bet the Pats… what a putz! To 17 years.

Wow, look at that. Bitcoin. Who would have thought it.

If you haven’t bought bitcoin yet, there’s a lot of liquidity that hasn’t been swept from Novembers run up.

The market maker left a lot of money behind to get that move.

There’s a premium price and a discount price and currently it’s at a premium.

Not financial advice just no need to fomo.

Also if you are thinking of “trading” bitcoin here’s a free lesson.

Download Tradingview, it’s free. On indicators search and select “swing failure pattern” also search “MTF levels”

LuxAlgo is a good one the PSec one has alerts so you can create an alert and it will just email you or make a sound when an SFP happens so you can go enjoy your day.

How to use
go to the 5minute or 10min chart. You can watch on the 2 minute to anticipate a swing failure pattern but wait for confirmation on the 5 or 10 so you don’t get a fake out. Never use 1 minute charts for BTC as a new trader.



When the red “SFP” appears above the candle and aligns with a level of resistance shown via the MTF levels indicator, make the trade. It is a bearish SFP at resistance (red and at top) or bullish SFP at green at bottom support.

Never short the bottom of a range or long the top!!!


Take profits on any sign of retrace until you understand market structure (YouTube)

In tradingview you can paper trade for free to practice! Search long position or short position how to YouTube.

Never work a day job again. And paper trading is actually fun. Learn a skill and stop playing Monopoly Go.

If anyone is interested in more information (free) happy to answer trading questions. I’ve been trading for years now and that’s all I do now.

As an old friend here used to say, see you on the corner of Victory Lane and Winners Circle.

God bless you.
Which MTF level indicator do you choose?

Been a way for a bit with a terrible flu bug. This week should be interesting as David Spacks is rumored to have an announcement about the Bitcoin Reserve along with major alt coin reserves as well.

Bitcoin could easily move up to get that easy liquidity up above but also currently in a descending wedge having rejecting the value area high.

Currently sitting in a very tight weekend range between 97.2k and 98k.

On the course!
You know good and well that if bitcoin was up 20% instead of down 20% since he was elected, Trump would talk about it constantly. Same with the market.

Can't shake this flu bug. been since the Super Bowl.

So here's what's happening that is super important. Remember the sweep of liquidity I spoke about? Well the Market Maker is calling in all the debts as mentioned. We have gone DOWN range from range. Todays daily wick, if it closes below that we are confirmed coming down to a real possibility of $73k to backtest the high of that range that bitcoin played in for 8-9 months.
Save your dry powder.
Looking for these last two levels if we close below todays wick on the daily at 7EST.

My "scalp" play today would be a backtest of 89.5k meaning it comes up above it and then bounce off 89.5k with a possible run up to 91.5k Other that I'm sitting on my hands.

What MTF level are you using?
So for session levels which are important I use SpacemanBTCv13.1 It provides Asia Open, Close, London Open, London close which BTC ranges between for daily scalps. I believe I use MTF levels and “Swing” which provides local s/r. I’m on a mobile but will check when I’m back home. Basically you’re looking for Fair Value Gaps or imbalances within candles and I usually mark those off from a top down approach. Hope that helps

What MTF level are you using?
So for session levels which are important I use SpacemanBTCv13.1. I usually plot out fair value gaps. If you look at the chart above to the bottom left most candles you’ll see the imbalances / gaps. Usually start with the daily and work my way down to 1 hr. Trade the 15m or 5m. I use Market Cipher B for entries. It’s a paid indicator but works very well for entries. There are a couple free versions on TV but just note the money flow is not as exact on the free ones.

For ease of marking levels, search MTF Levels and also Swing (for local support and resistance) Swing shows as a red dotted line and blue dotted line.

I have several charts that I scan through with different indicators but while in a trade use a black and white candle with marked Take Profits.

preserving capital is the most important thing as a trader. Im not trying to catch the exact bottom and my trading strength is in normal day trading which this currently doesn’t align.
