Trading Signals and Market Maker Insights

Have you ever felt like you're watching the same trading patterns play out day after day? That repetition isn't boring—it's actually the foundation of profitable trading. As I often tell my students, if a strategy isn't repetitive, it's probably not worth your time. And it's certainly not worth doing if you're not making money.

Let me walk you through some recent market activity that perfectly illustrates the market maker business model in action.

Reading the Signals Correctly

Looking at this particular chart, we captured an impressive 182 pips from a setup that was clear right from the start. On the 30-minute timeframe, the pattern emerged, but the real confirmation came when drilling down to the 15-minute and 5-minute charts.

The market makers' footprint becomes particularly visible when examining these smaller timeframes. In one example, there was a selling opportunity as we dipped below a key level. Then the market makers came in to hunt stops before pushing the price against the underlying weakness, breaking above resistance and continuing higher.

Developing Your Chart Reading Skills

I'm deliberately not showing every detail of the 15-minute and 5-minute charts. At this stage of your trading journey, it's important you develop these analytical skills yourself rather than having me lead you by the hand. Working through these patterns independently helps cement your understanding of market maker activity.

On another chart, we had weakness below a key level when the Asian market opened. We saw that weakness pull prices down before the market recovered. Then it pushed through resistance and started tracking upward.

This is often a signal—when the market breaks out of a confined area where it's been moving back and forth, you don't want to be waiting on the sidelines. In this case, the market pushed to a pressure point, broke downward, and then cleared through previous congestion. Similar patterns played out on other charts, though not quite to the same extent.

Personal Trading Mentorship

If you're struggling with specific aspects of trading—perhaps trading psychology or difficulty pulling the trigger—please let me know. I can create targeted videos addressing these challenges.

Remember, I offer a personal one-on-one mentorship service. You can easily record your screen using Loom, just as I'm doing now, and send me your charts with any questions marked up. I'll explain anything you need help with to get you trading confidently.

My PAT Proprietary indicator is a cornerstone of this training. It helps identify these key market maker movements that most traders miss. The PAT indicator's interpretation is something I cover extensively in my coaching sessions, giving you insights that simply aren't available elsewhere.

If you're sitting on the fence about getting professional trader training, why not give it a go? Those already working with me know the value of having a mentor who can guide you through the market makers' games. I thoroughly enjoy these sessions and hope my students do too.

For current students, I'll catch up with you on Friday in our wrap-up session where I'll address all the emails I've received throughout the week.

Have a great day trading, and I'll speak with you soon.
