Speciale Analysis

Hey Trader,


Find Joy and Clarity in Your Trading Journey


I hope this message finds you well and inspired. In the often tumultuous world of trading, finding moments of clarity and joy can be challenging.


Today, I want to share a piece of wisdom that has personally helped me navigate both the highs and lows of the market.


"The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes." - Psalm 19:8


This beautiful verse reminds us that true guidance and wisdom come from the Lord's precepts. Just as His commands bring joy to the heart and light to the eyes, we can find similar clarity and happiness by aligning our trading practices with sound principles and disciplined strategies.


When we base our decisions on solid analysis and a clear understanding of the market, we can approach each trade with confidence and peace of mind. Much like the radiant commands of the Lord, let your trading strategy illuminate your path and guide you through the uncertainties.


Successful trading isn't just about profit; it's about maintaining a joyful and clear perspective, even when the market tests your resolve. Let this verse inspire you to seek wisdom and find joy in your journey. Wishing you clarity, joy, and prosperous trading!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Losses Will Happen Within Every Edge (aka: Trade Plan)


Anthony here from Speciale Analysis. Today, I want to share a personal experience that highlights some key lessons in trading, particularly in the energy markets.


This morning, I experienced a loss on my first trade, but I recovered and ended the day profitably on my second trade.


This is a crucial aspect of trading that every trader must understand: losses are inevitable, and how you manage them defines your success.



Trading is not about winning all the time; it's about knowing how to manage your losses and letting your winners run.


The best traders in the world understand that they will encounter losses day to day, week to week, month to month, and so on.


The key is to recognize when you're wrong, accept it, and move on without letting it affect your psychological or emotional state.


This morning, I took a loss on my first trade on WTI Light Sweet Crude Oil.


Here's a breakdown of how I handled it and turned the day around.


Analyzing the Market


I start my day by analyzing the market using multiple charts.


The primary chart I use is a five-minute chart of light sweet crude oil, complemented by a five-minute chart of the US dollar and a four-hour chart for a broader perspective.


We had been recovering into some overhead resistance, and I noticed some buying absorption around 7:20 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.


Absorption, for those unfamiliar, is when there is significant buying or selling interest that prevents the price from moving in the direction of the initial momentum.


This led me to believe there could be a fall from the current levels.


Chart

The First Trade: Losses Happen


At 7:25 a.m., I decided to go short at $76.01 with a stop at $76.05, risking four ticks.


Unfortunately, the market moved against me, and I got stopped out.


I accepted the loss calmly and moved on. It's crucial not to let a loss disrupt your mood or trading strategy for the day.


The Second Trade: Turning the Day Around


Noticing continued absorption, I waited for another opportunity that met my edge.


At 8:05 a.m., the market retested the area of absorption with increased buying on a wide bar candle. This was a clear signal for me to get short again.


I entered at $76.09 with a stop at $76.14, this time risking five ticks.


This time, the trade worked out as planned. The market failed to push higher and started to roll over.


Taking profits at various levels: $75.90, $75.80, $75.70, $75.60, eventually reaching $75.45.


This method of gradually taking profits and adjusting my stop to break even ensured that I protected my gains.



  1. Accept Losses: Understand that losses are part of trading. The best traders know how to manage them without letting them affect their psychological state.

  2. Analyze and Adapt: Use multiple charts and timeframes to get a comprehensive view of the market. Look for signals like absorption to guide your trades.

  3. Risk Management: Always risk a small amount relative to potential gains. This ensures that even if you're wrong, the loss is manageable.

  4. Take Profits Gradually: Don’t be greedy. Take profits at various levels to ensure you lock in gains while the market moves in your favor.

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. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown on this website.

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.

THERE IS RISK OF LOSS IN ALL TRADING. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. ALL RESULTS ARE HYPOTHETICAL.
