The 4H chart tells you everything

I've mentioned it a handful of times now, but I've been using FluxCharts to track liquidity sweeps and order flow for eight months now. Truly a game changer. Besides the trading strategies I'm about to get into in this newsletter, FluxCharts is something I can truly rely on.

2 years ago

I blew my first trading account in 3 weeks.

$2,500 gone.

All because I was glued to 5-minute charts like some degen gambler.

Every tick up, I'm thinking "moon mission."

Every tick down, I'm panic selling.

By week 3, I had nothing left except a maxed-out credit card and a girlfriend asking why I was, 

"gambling away my life's savings."

Now I make more in a month than I used to make in a year.

What changed? 

Not much honestly 

Between my strategy and mental acumen, 

There's one small minute change that honestly could not help you at all, 

Or change the scope of your future 

It's quite simple 

I stopped looking at charts like a crackhead and started using strictly the 4H timeframe.

Not because some guru told me to, 

Because I learned the hard way.

See, the thing about 4H charts is they show you what truly matter

While everyone else is having heart attacks over 15-minute moves, you're watching the real story unfold.

Take last month.

Tesla was bouncing around $330-3350 for weeks.

Day traders were getting chopped up trying to scalp the range.

But on the 4H chart, I could see a massive triangle forming.

Tighter and tighter price action.

Classic breakout setup.

I waited. And waited.

Everyone else was jumping in and out, making $50 here, losing $80 there.

Meanwhile, I'm just sitting there watching the 4H candles, waiting for the inevitable explosion.

Three weeks later, TSLA breaks out of the triangle.

Rips from $348 to $381 in 5 days.

I caught most of that move because I wasn't distracted by the minute-by-minute noise.

Made $4800 on one trade.

But look, 

4H is some magic spell, 

It just forces you to think instead of react. 

That’s the real magic

When you're looking at 5-minute charts, every little wiggle feels important.

Your brain tricks you into thinking you need to DO something.

Buy this dip. 

Sell this bounce. 

Cut this loss.

It's exhausting.

And expensive.

The 4H chart slows everything down.

Suddenly you can see the forest instead of getting lost in the trees.

You start noticing patterns that repeat over and over.

Like how retail traders always FOMO into breakouts at the worst possible time.

Or how institutions love to fake breakouts just to trap these idiots.

Once you see these patterns, trading becomes almost boring.

Which is exactly what you want.

Boring = profitable.

Exciting = broke.

I use to think I could be the hero

I learned the hard way, trust, it's not fun 

Now I just wait for obvious setups on the 4H and execute.

No stress. No emotions. No gambling.

Just patience and prosperity. 

You stop being a victim of every random price movement and start seeing the bigger picture.

The chart doesn't care about your emotions.

It doesn't care about breaking news or Twitter hype.

It just shows you what's actually happening.

And what's actually happening is usually the opposite of what retail traders think is happening.

They buy the top of every rally.

They sell the bottom of every dip.

They overtrade, overlever, and overthink everything.

The 4H chart helps you avoid all of that by forcing you to zoom out and think strategically.

Instead of asking "what's happening right now," you start asking "what's probably going to happen over the next few days."

Much easier question to answer.

And much more profitable.

If you want to see exactly how to use 4H charts to spot these setups before they happen, 

If you just want patience and prosperity, 

Go here. 

Talk soon,

One last thing -  FluxCharts has been a lifesaver for tracking liquidity sweeps and order flow. Eight months in and I still use it for every trade.
