$XRP 🎼 My proprietary Musical Vibrations discovery I made on the markets 18 years ago! The best discovery I ever made! You see how my members love this method and there is a very good reason for that. Of everything I have researched over the years, this remains one of my greatest market discoveries and the main map many of my members use every single day. Every chart is different and has its own set of special numbers.. Not an indicator. Not guesswork. A map. And once you understand it, you never look at a chart the same way again.

Everybody contacts me wanting to learn a system that is always right. Of course, being right is great. But you would be far better learning a system that tells you very quickly when you are wrong. That is one of the real secrets to longevity in markets. You will be wrong. I will be wrong. Everybody who trades will be wrong. The skill is knowing where you are wrong before you ever enter the trade. Get out, take the small loss and move on. That is how you avoid horrendous drawdowns and stop blowing accounts up left, right and centre. You don’t need to be right all the time. You need to make money when you’re right and lose very little when you’re wrong.

#SP500 parabola The markets are either done or we get a short decline and a push into October 26th (I have several confluences) where I don't believe we can get past. I am out of all tech stocks and looking forward to the decline. Thank you bull market you've served your time.

Once the methods I teach have been properly learned and understood, the next stage is to concentrate on your emotions and develop an almost robotic approach to executing & exiting the trade. (Unless one is pyramiding) If you find yourself becoming emotional about a position, there is usually a reason for it. In my experience, it generally comes down to one or more of the following: 1. Insufficient preparation — you haven't done enough work beforehand to have real conviction in the trade. 2. The position is too heavy — if every tick is affecting you emotionally, there is a good chance you are carrying more size than you are comfortable with. 3. You haven't clearly defined where you are wrong — before entering any trade, you should know exactly what price action or level invalidates your thesis. "Wrong" must have a definition. 4. You haven't had enough sleep — fatigue destroys objectivity, patience and discipline. A tired trader is far more likely to react emotionally rather than follow the plan. Do the analysis first. Define the trade, define the risk and define what proves you wrong. Then execute it as mechanically as possible. The objective is not to feel your way through a trade. The thinking should have been done before you entered it.

Please spend 95% of time scanning the markets with the methods and 5% of time in the trade.

If the general transit sky were enough to forecast a market, then every stock, commodity and currency would rally and crash together. They don't. That alone should tell you the premise is flawed. That's precisely why Gann and many of the great researchers went far deeper than simplistic transit or natal interpretations. We are dealing with a market chart, not a person's birth chart or even the birth of the particular market (that also carries its own flaws which I'm not going to explain here). I have a much more scientific truth to share and how I called the oil & coffee lows. Actually applies the same to a persons own life cycle but the astrologers don't do that! In fact all my methods are based on EXACT maths not wild interpretation of silly houses and signs. CODSWALLOP!!! In fact if you want the truth scientifically there are 13 signs! Why do none of these ologers call major highs and lows on various markets consistently eh? Ask yourselves that! Even Sepharial eventually explained why he abandoned much of what he called "fancy astrology" in favour of methods that were actually applicable to markets. There is a fundamental difference, and understanding that difference is one of the main reasons I teach what I do. My goal has always been to help people move beyond popular myths and towards methods that can be tested, evidenced and applied objectively TO MAKE REAL MONEY!

Not wanting to scare the kids, but if this flat-top broadening pattern plays out to the upside, expect to see 150 to 160 over the coming months.

$Bitcoin Quite simply my proprietary Musical Vibrations discovery which I made 18 years ago is the best finding I ever made on any market chart. I sat on the discovery for years only to release to the public 3 years ago. (Thank my wife!) #Geometry is the number one science! Knowing the most important vibratory lines allows us quickly and effectively to see our risk vs reward as the lines tell us if we are wrong VERY quickly. This is ESSENTIAL for any trader and we establish a set of rules around it which I teach comprehensively in the courses. When everyone was bearish and doom and gloom on #BTC back on June 6th shouting it was going lower I knew there was a fair chance... I NEVER go with the crowd, I play with strict rules and the methods that I have studied for the past two decades. These are exactly what I teach.
Isn't it interesting how $Bitcoin tagged the main musical vibration line....

This was the projection on mathematical analysis that I had given project members on $Bitcoin 20 days ago... Not bad not bad 😃

Hope the webinar was valuable for everyone tonight. In a two hour session, it’s always a challenge to cover everything in depth. That’s why I focus on reinforcing the most important elements, because they underpin everything else. If your foundations are solid, the rest of the confluences will naturally fall into place. Use those “musical lines” with discipline and always respect the rules around them. Our primary goal is to stay on the right side of the bia & that alone is half the battle. As Gann said, “Do not buck the trend.” Counter-trend trades are a different story. They carry more risk, but when all the confluences align, they can be extremely rewarding. That’s where all the methods come together IE to help us identify those higher probability setups. I run these sessions every month because embedding these fundamentals into your trading plan is crucial. Eamon raised a good point about the first position, and I’ve been reflecting on it. Yes, take some profits but consider leaving a runner. If the overall campaign unfolds as expected and your entry is strong (for example, at an overbalance point), that position can continue to perform over time. It’s surprising how much that initial entry can generate, even with partial profits taken. We’ll look to apply this approach with Bitcoin when we eventually see the bear market bottom. The plan would be to open a modest 3x leveraged position nothing excessive and simply let it run.

All speculations, and even the most conservative investments, have some slight element of risk; all lines of business are more or less a gamble; marriage is a gamble; political preferment is a gamble; in fact nearly everything in life, including our very existence, is an uncertainty; yet people are not thereby discouraged from entering into any and all of these ventures. Those who look only for certainties have far to search and little to find in this world. 🤣

The most likely explanation for Trump's Truth Social lies about Iran on Friday, is market manipulation. If so, Trump insiders must have made billions. The next likely possibility is that Trump is either delusional, incompetent, or a combination of both. Either way it's not good.

You see the way Bitcoin reacts to my Musical Vibration levels..... They are totally different for each and every single chart. All my members use these for their main map....

I agree. Never seen anything like that. An all-time moment in sports history.
It’s crazy to think that any fighter from here on out who is compromised/injured is going to be compared to Carlos Ulberg. What happened is truly unfathomable. We’ve never seen someone overcome something like that in such a high-stakes spot.

Okay folks, I am swamped with folks wanting my analysis on Bitcoin. It is very humbling but I cannot release all in the open. Also questions like how and why Astro cycles work in the markets. The how is not too difficult and the why is Godly. It is not the be all and end all for me but sure I use and note it just as the greats did. This is not the traditional astrology either and that many would make you believe. Even Jensen & Bayer who were some of my heros and the finest that ever lived adopted a different approach later in their lives. I am no hero folks but what I do teach are objective methods of approach in the markets. Many of you that have followed me for several years know I do have a proven history HUMBLY of calling major tops and bottoms on various markets. There is no such thing as LUCK and this only means “Labouring Under Correct Knowledge.” My methods are mainly based on scientific fact not wild interpretations. For example wouldn’t you like to know that Bitcoin has always topped on a hard aspect to Saturn be it on the transit or with the natal chart? These are the immutable laws that some have called the law of vibration. I also have another approach to vibration (A better one imho) which is my proprietary Musical Vibrations discovery which I made over 17 years ago. This is actually more powerful in my humble opinion than any Astro although when used side by side can be doubly effective. All my members know how. Back to the Astro and to give you a glimpse. I posted this to my members on Bitcoin several months ago….this will give you an idea of “timing”….
