14. We are Waiting for something that is Obvious for Professionals
Our Approach: Waiting for the Obvious to the Professionals
ย
In an environment often characterized by noise, complexity, and the temptation for premature action, a core tenet of our strategy is an unwavering commitment to waiting for what is obvious to the professionals.
This means we deliberately filter out ambiguity and speculation, choosing instead to engage only when the market presents clear, high-probability setups that, while potentially subtle to the amateur eye, are unequivocally clear to those with seasoned experience and a disciplined analytical framework. “Obvious to the professionals” in our context signifies:
Synthesized Confluence, Not Isolated Signals: What is obvious to us isn’t a single indicator flash or a simple pattern. It’s the powerful synergy that emerges when multiple, independent analytical elements perfectly align. Our key price action signals (e.g., decisive wicks indicating rejection, validated false breaks trapping the unwary, the powerful compression of inside bars leading to expansion, or the precise formation of a Hikkake pattern) must unequivocally converge with the directional guidance of our 8-period and 23-period EMAs, and decisively confirm the current trend and underlying market structure.
Discernment Beyond Surface Level: While amateurs might chase initial breakouts or react to headline news, professionals recognize the deeper patterns. What becomes “obvious” to us are the nuanced shifts in supply and demand, the subtle rejections at key levels, and the precise moments when the market reveals its true intent, often after shaking out less experienced participants.
Proactive Patience and Discipline: This isn’t passive waiting; it’s an active, strategic patience. We deliberately allow the market to unfold, absorbing its information, and only engaging when the alignment of all our criteria creates an unmistakable, high-probability setup. This disciplined restraint prevents us from falling into the traps that are “obvious” only after they’ve sprung for others.
Unambiguous Risk/Reward Profiles: Every “obvious” setup for us comes with a clearly defined and highly favorable risk/reward ratio, with logical placements for both our stop loss and take profit orders. The clarity of these parameters is another hallmark of a professional opportunity.
Therefore, our disciplined approach is not about missing opportunities, but about only taking the best opportunities โ those that are so compellingly aligned that their potential becomes undeniable to the trained, professional observer. We wait for the market to scream its intentions through the intricate language of price action and confluence, ensuring that every trade initiated is a calculated, high-probability endeavor designed for consistent, long-term profitability.

๐ We Use EMA 23/8 to Guide Us
The EMA 23/8 combination is a powerful trend-following tool used by many professional traders to:
โ
Identify trend direction
โ
Time precise pullback entries
โ
Stay aligned with momentum
๐ What Do EMA 23 and EMA 8 Do?
EMA 8 = short-term price momentum (fast-reacting)
EMA 23 = medium-term trend direction (slower and smoother)
๐งญ How We Use EMA 23/8 to Guide Us:
1. Trend Identification
When EMA 8 is above EMA 23 โ the trend is bullish
When EMA 8 is below EMA 23 โ the trend is bearish
2. Pullback Entry Strategy
In an uptrend: wait for price to pull back toward EMA 23, then look for bullish signals near EMA 8/23 zone.
In a downtrend: wait for price to pull back up to EMA 23, then look for bearish signals near the EMAs.
3. Dynamic Entry Zone
The space between EMA 8 and EMA 23 acts as a โvalue areaโ for entering in the direction of the trend.
Add price action confirmation like pin bars, engulfing candles, or inside bars near the EMAs.
๐ Example:
๐ In an uptrend:
EMA 8 > EMA 23
Price pulls back into the EMA zone
You see a bullish pin bar rejecting the EMAs
๐ Buy with stop below the wick / EMA 23
๐ก Pro Tips:
Use on 4H, Daily, or Weekly charts for stronger signals.
Combine with key levels, market structure, or false breaks for confluence.
Avoid trading EMAs in choppy or sideways markets โ they work best in trends.
๐ We Use EMA to Guide Us
The EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is a dynamic price tool that helps identify trend direction, momentum, and potential entry zones. Unlike the simple moving average (SMA), the EMA gives more weight to recent price, making it faster and more responsive.
๐งญ Why We Use EMA as a Guide:
1. โ Trend Direction
If price is above the EMA, weโre in an uptrend โ look for buy opportunities.
If price is below the EMA, weโre in a downtrend โ look for sell opportunities.
2. ๐ฏ Dynamic Support & Resistance
EMAs act like invisible trendlines. Price often pulls back to the EMA and bounces.
Traders use this bounce to enter trend-following trades.
3. ๐ Entry Confirmation
Combine EMA with price action (e.g., pin bar, inside bar) for high-confluence setups.
A pullback to EMA + rejection wick = strong entry zone.
4. ๐ Crossovers for Momentum Shifts
Short EMA crossing above long EMA = bullish signal.
Short EMA crossing below long EMA = bearish signal.
๐ Popular EMA Setups:
8 & 21 EMA โ short-term trend
23/50 EMA โ medium swing trades
100/200 EMA โ long-term structure, major trend guide
๐ก Pro Tip:
ย
We donโt use EMAs blindly โ we let them guide us, not control us.
Combine EMAs with price action, key levels, and market structure for smart decisions.
