Hey Trader,
Staying Strong and Hopeful in Your Trading Journey
As you navigate the challenges and opportunities in the trading world, I wanted to share a verse that speaks to the power of steadfast hope and faith:
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."
Hebrews 10:23
In the fast-paced and often unpredictable environment of trading, maintaining hope and confidence can be challenging.
This verse reminds us of the importance of holding firmly to our hope, trusting in the faithfulness of the promises we've been given.
It’s a powerful reminder that, despite the fluctuations of the market, our foundation remains strong and trustworthy.
Let this verse inspire you to approach your trading with unwavering hope and confidence.
Trust in the process, stay committed to your goals, and remember that steadfast hope and faith are your allies in achieving long-term success.
Wishing you hope, faith, and success in all your trading endeavors!
Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will

Using Hawkeye Volume To Stack The Odds In My Favor - Flawless Reversal
Anthony Speciale here from Hawkeye Traders. I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Today, I want to share the details of a trade I executed in the crude oil futures market and illustrate how Hawkeye Volume Analysis was pivotal in making my trading decisions.
The Setup: Crude Oil Futures on a 5-Minute Chart
The trade took place on a 5-minute chart of WTI Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures.
At 7:15 AM, I entered a short position. The key factor in my decision was the market's behavior around the 6:55 AM mark.
Analyzing the Volume and Price Action
At 6:55 AM, the chart showed a build-up in buying volume followed by a Hawkeye Wide Bar.
This wide bar often signals a potential reversal. I patiently waited for the price to revisit this wide bar's wick area.
The rationale was that if the price failed to break above this wick, it would likely head back towards the prior lows, which is exactly what transpired.
Key Observations
Strong Buying Volume with Weak Candle Close: Despite a significant increase in buying volume, the candle closed at about the 60-65 percentile of its range. This indicated that the buyers couldn't maintain control in the upper 30-35% of the candle's range.
Repeated Failures at Resistance: The price tested the resistance area again and failed, reinforcing my short bias.
Previous Hawkeye Wide Bars: Looking back, another Hawkeye Wide Bar on high selling volume had shown similar behavior, failing to close in the bottom 10 percentile, indicating strong support at that level.
The Trade Execution
I shorted at 7:15 AM, targeting the prior lows, supported by the analysis of Hawkeye Wide Bars and volume behavior. As price approached these prior lows, I started to take profits incrementally, adhering to the principles of paying and protecting myself.
The Importance of Volume and Price Action
Hawkeye's indicators provided the confidence to place the trade by highlighting significant buying volume that couldn't sustain higher prices, suggesting a likely downturn.
Key Takeaways for Traders
Volume Analysis: The highest buying volume in the session failed to push prices significantly higher, indicating potential weakness.
Hawkeye Wide Bars: These bars, combined with volume analysis, are powerful tools for identifying key support and resistance levels.
Risk Management: Always have a trade plan and good risk management strategies in place. Protect your profits by adjusting your stops and taking profits when the market offers them.
