Hey Trader,


Strengthening Each Other on Your Trading Journey


As you continue to navigate the dynamic world of trading, I wanted to share a verse that emphasizes the power of mutual support and collaboration:


"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."

  • Proverbs 27:17


In the competitive and often challenging environment of trading, having a supportive network can make all the difference.


This verse reminds us that we grow stronger and more capable when we engage with and learn from one another.


By sharing insights, experiences, and encouragement, we can sharpen our skills and achieve greater success together.


Let this verse inspire you to seek out and nurture relationships with fellow traders who can challenge and support you.


Embrace the opportunities to both give and receive wisdom, knowing that these interactions will help you become a more proficient and resilient trader.


Wishing you strength, growth, and success in all your trading endeavors!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Confirming a Double-Top Reversal Setup: Swiss Franc Currency Futures

Anthony Speciale here with Hawkeye Traders. I hope you're having a wonderful day.


In this post, we'll delve into the Swiss Franc Futures Market using a 5-minute chart, where each candle represents 5 minutes of open market, transacted price action.


If you're primarily a Forex trader, you might find it challenging to read volume accurately due to the decentralized nature of the Forex market.


However, the Futures market offers a more regulated environment, providing reliable volume data that can significantly enhance your trading strategies.


Why Trade Futures Instead of Forex?


Futures markets in the United States are heavily regulated, ensuring accurate and reliable volume data. This regulation is why I personally prefer trading Futures over Forex.


By examining the Futures market for both pairs you're trading, you gain a clearer picture of volume and price action, enabling more confident trading decisions.


Identifying Key Market Movements


In this analysis, we focus on identifying a reversal and a potential double top formation. Let's break down a specific instance from the 5-minute chart of the Swiss Franc Futures.


Analyzing Volume and Price Action


At 3:00 AM, we see strong buying volume, with the candle closing in the top 10-15% of its range. This indicates aggressive buying and suggests potential continuation.


However, subsequent candles show a different story. A larger candle closes near the top, but with lower volume, signaling weakening buying pressure.


We observe a volume climax, where buyers made a final push, but the candle closes around the 50% mark of its total range.


This suggests that if we retest this area, it might serve as a future point of failure, as the initial buying effort was not strong enough to sustain higher prices.

Recognizing a Double Top


The market falls back with low volume, attempts to recover, and pushes back up.


Despite a large candle closing near the top, the volume remains low.


This lack of supporting volume indicates a weakening buying interest, setting the stage for a potential reversal.


Ultimately, we see a double top formation, with the neckline representing the low between the two peaks.


Price breaks down, retests, and continues lower, confirming the double top pattern.


Practical Application


As a trader, you could have taken two approaches:


  1. Shorting at the volume climax with a stop above the candle's high, aiming for the neckline as the target, offering a favorable risk-reward ratio.

  2. Shorting on the retest of the wick with significantly lower buying volume, again targeting the neckline.


Both strategies capitalize on understanding the relationship between volume and price action, essential for successful trading.


The Hawkeye Advantage


At Hawkeye Traders, we emphasize the critical relationship between volume and price action.


Our tools, such as the Hawkeye Volume Mastery Series, help you understand this relationship, making it easier to identify market aggressors and potential opportunities.



We'll explore practical examples and show you how to apply these principles using our Hawkeye indicators on various charting platforms like TradeStation, TradingView, NinjaTrader, and MetaTrader.


Understanding volume and price action is crucial for making informed trading decisions.

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer Stock, Futures, Forex & Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and it is not appropriate for everyone. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to speculate in the Stocks, Futures, Forex, and Options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell any securities.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
