hi Beta Names with large ATRs and are hinged to every news headline known to media.
Here is an example of mistakes made due to lack of understanding #Priceaction
#ValueAreas and how to stay out of chop and get bloodied up until a real move is ready.
Unless your a seasoned

experienced scalp and day trader type
$TSLA right now is NOT a name you want to be in.
Here is why. look at these 2 #Maps one is daily the other is weekly. On both, I have shaded in a #ValueArea which is an area that over time has created the Most Value!
Yes #VALUE so what

exactly is #Value? Well, things that have value tend to have price, time, supply, and demand right? so #ValueAreas combine all of that within a range and a period of time. So what we do in @nydough is we build trade entries #scales and exits predicated around these

ok, so let's look at $TSLA look at the #ValueArea it's 405.12 to 438.29 that's 33 points of range. Now some traders love to trade within this range and do it with a great degree of accuracy but I assure you they are not beginner traders nor are

notifies you when $TSLA is above 438.29 or below 405.12, that's when you can come back to it and will have your best success rate of a winning trade and avoid getting destroyed. The point of this illustration is that you must be able to decipher #priceaction and be able

being able to look at a #Map and immediately see what type of trade setup is at hand. the second most important thing is being honest with yourself and having the discipline to engage or stay away from a trade simply bcz it doesn't line up with your style or capabilities.
