A collection of our guest speaking, interviews, and other educational events.

Before using the signals, you will first need to make sure you have Telegram installed, send us your username, and enable notifications on your devices.

Installing on Multiple Devices

The signals will be delivered via a Telegram channel, which makes it super versatile since Telegram can be installed and run on various devices, including desktops, laptops, and various mobile devices.

multiple devices

Once Telegram is installed on your mobile device, you can also use the web-based version of Telegram, or receive the signal notifications via your smart watch.

In short, the first step is to search out the app store on your phone and install Telegram.

Joining channel

In order for us to add you into our private channel where the signals are delivered, you will need to do 3 things:

  1. Create a username, which will look something like @yourusername
  2. Make sure your privacy setting allows other people to add you to channels
  3. Send us your username

Once we have received your Telegram username, we will proceed to add you into the private channel, usually within 24 hours.

Manage Notification settings

Once you are inside the channel, you will start receiving the signals, via Telegram notifications.

To ensure that you do so, make sure that on your phone settings, you have enabled Telegram notifications.

If you are an active trader, you can leave the notifications on to receive real-time updates, especially if you are using a smartwatch or have your phone with you all the time.

If you are not so active, and only want to check the channel 1-2 times a day, then you can “mute” the channel, so that you do not get too many notifications.

 

This post will explain some of the common terms I use in my analysis and charts, as well as the various ticker symbols you see in the signals channel.

Common Terms Used:

  • BO = breakout
  • PB = pullback
  • TL = trendline
  • TSL = trailing stop loss
  • Long = buy
  • Short = sell
  • ATHs = all-time highs
  • ATLs = all-time lows
  • S = support
  • R = resistance
  • New highs = prices reach new highs
  • New lows = prices reach new lows
  • New swing high = prices go higher than the previous swing high
  • New swing low = prices go lower than the previous swing high
  • EMA =exponential moving average

Other Important Terms

Here are some useful guides:

Markets & Products

Here is the watchlist of markets and products that the signals cover:

For the signals, I usually include the name and ticker of the product when posting a chart, however for the real-time alerts usually only the ticker symbol is posted, so to find out what the product is, you can simply key it into the search bar of TradingView.

 

1. Forex

These are the different combinations of the main currencies: EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, USD, CHF, CAD, JPY, SGD.

2. Crypto

These are roughly the top 50 crypto tokens by market capitalization.

There are also some crypto indices, which are useful to analyse the general direction of the crypto market.

3. Stocks

These are the top stocks by market capitalization, as well as those that are popular.

We may occasionally add or remove stocks from this list.

4. Indices & ETFs

These are various indices and ETFs, including country or sector-specific ETFs. It also includes bonds.

5. Commodities

These are spot prices or ETFs of commodities, such as Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, or a mixture of various commodities.

There are 3 main segments in this guide:

  1. Weekly Outlook Video: a 15-20 minute video highlighting the best trading opportunities and my detailed chart analysis
  2. Entering & Exiting Positions: how and where to determine your entry price, stoploss, target price, and other risk management tools
  3. Price Alerts on Telegram Channel: how to interpret and use the real-time price alerts

In this detailed guide, I will go through how to use each tool individually, and also how you can combine all three to maximise your edge in the market.

1. Weekly Outlook Video

  • Every week on Monday or during the weekends, both the weekly market report and the weekly Market Outlook are posted in a Telegram chat.
  • The weekly Market Outlook video starts with a run-through of the weekly market report, highlighting important points. This is beneficial for those who don’t have time to read the report or prefer a video format.
  • The video also covers various charts, starting with Forex counters and moving on to other currencies, including cross currency pairs.
  • It then covers cryptocurrencies, typically Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  • It moves on to discuss stocks, specifically focusing on indices like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq.
  • It also covers the China market, represented by ETFs like 2801 (general ETF for China stocks) and 3067 (ETF for China tech stocks).
  • Further, it examines bonds, specifically the 20-year treasury bond (TLT).
  • It looks at commodities like gold and silver, the Commodities ETF (DBC), and oil (WTI).
  • It discusses Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) through the global REITs ETF (REET).
  • Occasionally, it delves into individual stock counters if something noteworthy appears.
  • The analysis includes charting elements like support/resistance lines, trend lines, trend channels, and the RSI indicator.
  • It also includes price alerts placed on the chart.

2. Entering & Exiting Positions

  • The video elaborates on details such as entering and exiting positions, and using a stoploss and trailing stoploss.
  • Demonstrates how to use a grid software on the trading view toolbar to indicate entry and exit points.
  • The grid software shows in one glance the entry price, stoploss price, and the target price, which makes tracking trades easier.
  • Green grid indicates the target price level, while the red grid shows the stoploss level.
  • Entry, stop loss, and target levels can be determined through the grid, aiding in managing the trade.
  • To track trades after entering, one can use a trailing stoploss. One method suggested for this is using the ATR stops indicator.
  • When the price hits or closes below the ATR stops indicator, it can be used as a signal to close the position.
  • Using the ATR stops or similar tools helps in trailing the stop loss on a day-to-day basis.

2a. Execution: Trade Entries

Before entering a trade, you will need to factor in important considerations such as capital management (how to manage total trading capital), position-sizing (the quantity and dollar value of each trade), risk management (how much to risk on each trade), reward to risk ratio, etc.

These essential parameters are part of the 7 step checklist we use during the “Trading Mastery Program”, as missing out on either factor could drastically affect your trading returns.

Here are some examples:

Trading Signals USDCHF 120723

Trading Signals USDCAD 120723

Before placing a trade, it is also important to double-check the charts to before entering the trade, because prices might have moved significantly after the chart is posted.

If you get a new signal for a position that you already have, you can either choose to take on the new signal as a new trade, but it will be more risky as you will have more exposure to the same product.

However, if you are very confident of the product, this can also be a good way to accumulate more positions.

2b. Execution: Trade Exits

There are 2 ways you can exit a position:

  1. Winning trade: hit your target profit (TP), hit your trailing stoploss (TSL) or discretionary exit
  2. Losing trade: hit your stoploss (SL) or discretionary exit

For the target profit (TP), you can use the methods taught in the training, or you can use simple techniques like support & resistance or price projections from price patterns.

For the stoploss (SL) or trailing stoploss (TSL), besides the price action techniques used in the TMP, one of the easiest ways is to use the “ATR Stops” indicator in TradingView.

 

Additional reading: What is the Average True Range (ATR) indicator? 

ATR stops indicator tradingview

 

Just add it as an indicator and it will appear on your chart. I use (20, 2) as my default parameters.

Note: You can use this same method to add any new indicators on your chart. Sometimes, I might test out new indicators on my chart as well.

ATR stops settings

 

For example, if you short at the current price (short EP), then the stoploss (SL price) will be $335.80

This line (TSL) will adjust daily, so you can adjust your stoploss as the line moves.

ATR stops

2c. Trading Examples

In the chart below, let’s say you decide to buy this counter, and you enter at the entry price (EP). You would place your stoploss (SL) below using the “ATR Stops” indicator (green line) below.

trading example 1

 

Let’s fast forward about 2 weeks, and the price moved in your favour. Now, the current price is much higher than your entry price (EP).

Your new stoploss (SL) will be current value of the green line. In fact, at the end of each new bar, you can adjust your SL to the new value of the green line.

trading example 2

 

Eventually, when the trend changes, prices will come down to hit the green line, which is your stoploss (SL), and you will get closed out of the position.

trading example 3

 

This works if you are shorting the market as well.

In the chart below, let’s say you decide to short this counter, and you sell at the entry price (EP). You would place your stoploss (SL) above using the “ATR Stops” indicator (red line) above.

trading example 4

 

As price moves, you continue to adjust your stoploss daily using the red line, until one day the price hits your stoploss (SL) and your position is closed out.

3. Price Alerts on Telegram Channel

  • The weekly Market Outlook videos provide insights into various financial products and how to identify trading opportunities, including entry points, stoplosses, targets, and methods for using trailing stop losses like ATR stops.
  • The Telegram channel features trading signals which can be interpreted to inform trading decisions.
  • The Telegram channel features different types of posts, some are news updates while others are charts from the weekly Market Outlook videos. These charts allow users to follow specific financial products or charts over time.
  • The search function on the Telegram channel allows users to easily track a specific product.
  • Some posts on the channel are simple signals with short commentary, indicating key movements in a product’s price.
  • These alerts are triggered directly from TradingView, a charting platform used for analysis and setting trade alerts.
  • Alerts are not direct buy or sell signals but more of a prompt to closely inspect a particular chart because something significant is happening.
  • Alerts are usually followed up with a detailed analysis or chart.
  • The alerts include two parts: the first part usually refers to the name of the product and the second part is the price at which the alert was triggered.
  • Alerts are set throughout the day and monitored by a system that notifies followers of significant events simultaneously.
  • The trading signals help prevent missing potential trading opportunities.

3a. Real-Time Alerts

The first type of alerts are the real-time alerts, which looks something like this:

trading signals real time alerts

It involves a ticker symbol at the start, followed by some short notes.

These alerts are triggered whenever something something interesting happens in the price movement, such as prices reaching a crucial level, or making a new high or new low, etc.

If you are familiar with the 4 trading strategies taught in the “Trading Mastery Program”, you can use your knowledge to tackle these real-time signals and trade on them.

In short, you can think of these as alerts for potential trade ideas.

3b. Detailed Chart Analysis

The second type of alerts are detailed chart analysis, and it is usually a follow-up and more detailed evaluation of the earlier potential trade ideas from the real-time alerts.

It could look something like this, where it provides a trade idea and some entry and exit points:

Trading Signals CADCHF 190723

Or it could be a macro-economic cross-sectional analysis of various markets and sectors:

Trading Signal stock market 111221

daily trading signals stocks overview 121221

Or it could be sharing my portfolio allocation strategy for the current market climate:

trading signals portfolio analysis

3c. Search Function

If you want to look for a particular counter, simply use the search function.

Make sure you are searching WITHIN the channel, and not doing a general search across all of Telegram.

Type in the ticker symbol of the product you are looking for, and you will be able to see all past signals and analysis of it.

We are looking forward to 2018, where we will be launching the very first fully integrated “Crypto Mastery Program”, which will combine long-term value investing of Crypto assets with short-term momentum trading, to allow both investors and traders to profit effectively from cryptocurrencies.

This will be the very first training program backed by a proven track record of 100x returns (yes, 100 times, not 100%!) in less than one year, and it will be the only one of its kind in the Singapore market. We are expecting it to sell out very fast, and the first test-run we did was sold out within days.

You can start making reservations here: https://synapsetrading.com/crypto-mastery-program/

See you soon! 😀
