Must-have indicator for a bull market: LSMA 129

Image
  Hi, this is ChartInfo. When there’s a strong uptrend, I always make sure to check if the price is finding support at a moving average called the LSMA. Let’s dive into the LSMA, a powerful auxiliary indicator for support in a bull market. BTCUSDT 4H 1. What is LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average)? LSMA is a moving average that applies the statistical method of "Linear Regression" to price data. That’s why it’s also frequently called the "Linear Regression Indicator. " While the Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA) inevitably suffers from "lagging" because they average out past prices, the LSMA is different. It finds the best-fit "straight line" that explains the distribution of price data over a set period and plots a point on the chart where that line points at the current moment. In other words, it statistically predicts "Where should the price be right now?" if it continues its current trend. Th...

The Importance of the Number 3 in Trading

Image
 The Importance of the Number 3 Hey there, this is ChartInfo. Today, I want to talk to you about why the number 3 is so important in trading. Humans naturally perceive 3 as the minimum unit for "completion" and "stability." Two points make a line, but it takes three points to create a surface (a triangle). Common sense-wise, it's incredibly tough to catch the very first bounce when the chart is crashing. However, if a second bounce happens and then a third one occurs on that same trendline, that’s when a ton of traders start paying serious attention to that line. That's right. 3 is the number of completion. There’s a saying: "The first is a fluke, the second is a coincidence, and the third is destiny." It means the trendline is finally confirmed and truly begins at the third point. Now, let's get back to the charts. When a support or resistance level is being tested through a retest to check its strength, how many tests do you think are just ri...

Image
Hello, this is CHARTINFO . As an official broker partner and professional trader, I have spent years analyzing what separates successful traders from the rest.

Why Your Brain Forces You to Sell Winners Too Early

Image
Hello, this is CHARTINFO . Last week, we explored the psychological struggle of cutting losses. Today, we’re diving into the opposite—but equally challenging—side of the trade: knowing when to exit a winner. Most traders fail not because they can't find good entries, but because they can't manage their emotions once they are in the green. 1. The "Fear of Regret" Trap When you see a profit, your brain treats it as "real money" before you even close the position. The fear of watching that profit evaporate causes you to sell too early. You feel a momentary relief, but you miss out on the massive trend that follows. 2. The Math of Expectancy Trading is a numbers game. To remain profitable long-term, your average win must outweigh your average loss. By cutting your winners short, you are mathematically sabotaging your account, even if you have a high win rate. Expectancy = (Win Rate times Average Win) - (Loss Rate times Average Loss) 3. Mastering the Hold To fix ...

The Hardest Skill in Trading: Why Your Brain Hates Stop Losses (And How to Fix It)

Image
Hello, traders around the world! This is CHARTINFO . We have all been there. You enter a trade, it goes against you, and you find yourself staring at the screen, hoping it will turn around. Instead of cutting the loss, you move your stop loss further away or remove it entirely. By the time you finally exit, the damage to your account is severe. 1. The Psychological Pain of Being "Wrong"   Our brains are wired to avoid pain. In trading, triggering a stop loss feels like admitting defeat. It makes us feel like we made a bad decision. But professional trading is not about being right 100%  of the time; it is about managing risk when you are wrong. 2. The Illusion of Hope When a trade goes red, hope becomes our worst enemy. We remember that one time the market reversed at the last second and saved us. Relying on hope rather than mechanical execution is what destroys trading accounts and fails prop firm challenges.

[Ethereum Chart Analysis] Completion of the N-Wave Upward Trend Seen Through Ichimoku Cloud Time Theory and Equal Time Values

Image
Hello, I'm WBT of Team ChartInfo In chart analysis, the duration of a trend is just as important as the price flow. Today, we will apply the time theory of the Ichimoku Cloud to the Ethereum chart to objectively analyze the current waves and cycles. The Ichimoku Cloud time theory is a technical analysis concept that identifies price turning points and trend durations through specific cycles. It primarily uses the basic numbers 9, 17, and 26, and their extended composite numbers like 33, 42, and 65, to read the psychological rhythm of market participants. Viewing the current macroeconomic flow of Ethereum from the perspective of this time theory reveals highly significant patterns. The First Ascent and Short-Term Correction The First Ascent and Short-Term Correction Ethereum formed a bottom at $1384 on April 9, 2025, and began to rebound. This upward trend continued for 63 days until June 11. This period falls under the influence of the Ichimoku Cloud composite number 6...

Why You Keep Getting Liquidated with CFD Brokers

Image
  Hi, this is Chartinfo. Today, we’re going to look into why so many of you keep getting liquidated while using offshore brokers. The most common mistake traders make with offshore brokers is leverage . Most of these brokers have a default leverage set at 1:1000 . Many traders fail to lower this setting and end up getting liquidated. If your leverage is 1:10 , you get liquidated with a 10% price fluctuation . At 1:100 , it’s 1% , and at 1:1000 , just a 0.1% move will wipe you out. While the ability to trade with a small equity is an advantage of offshore brokers, you must never use high leverage . To keep your account alive in the long run, using leverage below 1:20 is essential. When you use high leverage, even the commissions become a heavy burden. For example, if you trade 1 lot of Gold (100 oz) with a $1,000  account balance, about $20  to $50  will go toward commissions at most brokers. That means 2% to 5% of your equity is gone just from fees alone. You s...
