Bionic Forex Algorithms

many footprint traders would say yes.
would be nice to hear from such gurus like @RickM about this topic.
personally never trades them

Hello Merka, I'm glad to hear that. Basically, there are always different opinions on every trading topic. If you're interested in Rick's opinion, whom I really respect, just ask him personally. Best wishes, Michael

In case somebody is dealing with raw data as a programmer, this might interest you as well:

Example Liquidity Heatmap on MBO Data in Python (databento.com)

Databento is a data provider with a great API (C, C++, Python). Following the link, you'll see a request to expand their documentation with another example: Visualizing MBO data as a heatmap - a representation of an evolving order book over time.
If you're interested in an implementation, leave a link. Maybe Databento will focus on an early release, seeing there is a need for this."
Let me know if you need any further assistance!

How efficient are breakouts?

Hello dear traders,

in today's video we want to find out how efficient breakouts really are. Every trader is always fascinated when a price moves up or down very quickly and many have already calculated what they could have earned. It is also quick and easy money. Just press the buy button and 1 minute later you have earned €10,000. Trading coaches exploit this dream by supposedly teaching you how to trade breakouts correctly. So it's going to be exciting again.



I wish you a successful trading week

Best wishes, Michael

Fair Value Gap Hysteria

Hello dear traders,

Today we're talking about the fair value gap hysteria, which is also increasingly dominating the German market. Inflationary terms from the stock market environment are currently flooding the industry, fascinating beginners on the one hand and straining the funny bones of professionals at the same time. The trading coaches have already noticed that you can no longer lure customers out of their shells with volume footprint and trading with third-party money. So new ideas are needed. Since very few coaches are creative, they have to steal ideas from America. ICT and SMC offer enough potential to get willing traders to reach for their wallets. And so that you don't fall for this rubbish in the future, we're taking a closer look at the funny fair value gap today.



I wish you a great weekend

So true Michael.
2026 will be my 30th year trading, except for 1 year, losing consistently, little money but still losing.
Things improved a lot after I understood the manipulation in Forex.
After all these years, I can spot a good trader, you are on my top 5 list.

I am using your bionic candles as a trigger on M5 EURUSD, I will show you examples later on.

Here´s a saying from a legendary trader:
"Trading is the hardest way of making easy money".
All the best.

There is no edge to have in trading forex. Unlike in trading options: When you sell options, you not only instantly receive a credit, but also time works in your favour, need not do anything; catch is, the credit is limited.

Hello cuchuflito, thank you very much, I am very happy if the information helps you. If you look closely, market manipulation is only a short-term snapshot. In principle, the big players use their financial dominance to steer the markets in their direction. This is generally legitimate, except for the prohibited transactions that, for example, cause a retail trader to lose more money than he was prepared to invest. But this withdrawal of liquidity in order to extend the retail trader stops can also be used by a professional to make more profit (provided he is on the right side). This means that the market manipulation of the big players can also be very advantageous for a professional. I wish you continued success. Best wishes, Michael

As a trader who uses a price action method, I found your method quite interesting. In what order should I watch your videos?
While ICT and SMC may sound miraculous to many, not everyone can win due to the rules of the market. That's why I make my analyzes by making my own inferences from them and modifying some things in my own way.

Hello sen7en, thank you for your kind words. First of all, I think it's good that you're trying to find your own creative way. The stock exchanges have existed for more than 600 years and in that time millions of people have followed different strategies to generate an advantage. Most of the approaches are based on ideas that have already been developed. Unfortunately, due to the inflationary spread of these strategies, they are known to the big players and are therefore no longer efficient. The only chance to achieve a decisive market advantage is to find extraordinary gaps that the big players have not yet closed. These include, among other things, the algorithms they have developed. No big player would ever think that a retailer could read their algorithms to generate an advantage. I've been working on this for more than five years now.

There are 3 key points for me:

1. How do the big players work and what phase are they in at the moment?
2. Identifying their invisible key zones using my bionic candle
3. Reading their algorithms using different strategies

For these topics, I recommend that you watch the videos from the beginning. On my blog: "Equilibrium, the key to success" you will find help in identifying the big players in the first 966 posts. From post number 967 onwards, the identification of algorithms begins. You can find information about the bionic candle in the blog: "Bionic Chart - The easiest forex navigation"

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, best wishes, Michael

Strategy of the big players

Hello dear traders,

As already announced, in the coming videos we will be dealing with the specific working methods of the big players. This differs significantly from the way retailers operate, which also explains the high losses of retailers. In order to understand the specific working methods of the big players, some basics are necessary first, which we urgently need to talk about.

Speech is silver, silence is gold



Hello dear traders,

Today I would like to tell you an interesting story about how quickly an advantage in trading can become a disadvantage. For many years I have known a very likeable young trader (50 years old) who has been involved in trading on the side for many years. He has a secure and lucrative job and earns a little money from trading. Because he was so friendly, when we first met I gave him some tips on the bionic candle, of course free of charge. With this information he went looking for unusual patterns and found some. He wanted to use this to program an EA that would place a corresponding trade as soon as this pattern appeared in the bionic candle. The problem was that he was trading in the futures market via a third-party money provider and did not know the C++ programming language. Through three trader friends he finally came across an experienced programmer who was able to program this EA. What can I say, according to him, the EA had a win rate of almost 100%, but with a negative CRV. But that wasn't a problem, because the EA was profitable and on some days even brought in up to $500. You could actually earn a little money on the side with it, if no one else noticed. But his friends found out and are now using this EA too. But that wouldn't have been a problem either, but the trades are made via different third-party money providers. With a third-party money provider, you basically trade on a demo account, which the third-party money provider mirrors with a real money account. However, only the lucrative traders are mirrored. The third-party money provider receives all the trader informations from its customers, which are crucial. Since the guys have developed an EA that achieves a very high win rate, these very trades are mirrored 1:1 by the third-party money provider on real money accounts. But now it gets even worse. Since the trades are worthwhile, the third-party money provider gives up not just 1 lot, but several 100 lots. This immediately made the big players aware of this strategy and they are now developing an algorithm to counteract it in order to eliminate this troublemaker in the medium term. So it is only a matter of time before the nice, uncomplicated windfall is over. I recommended that he immediately look for a new strategy and program it himself as an EA in MT4. He is now attending a few online courses and in a year at the latest he will be able to program his own EA. The advantage: nobody will notice and if the EA runs under the radar of the big players, he will be able to enjoy it for many years. So my tip: if you have found a profitable strategy, enjoy it and keep quiet. Because as soon as the whole thing becomes inflated, the nice rain of money is over. The secret of the successful big players has been based on silence for decades, so: speech is silver, silence is gold. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't help your colleagues, but I don't have to tell a stranger where my safe is installed.

I will continue to keep my fingers crossed for you

Best wishes, Michael

What nobody tells you

Hello dear traders,

the topic we are talking about today is extremely controversial, as it may reveal the power relations of individual institutions. This is not about conspiracy theories, but about aspects that the banks prefer to keep to themselves. We will also look at how our stops are triggered to get in or out.
