🚀 Weekly Wins & Trading Insights: My $5K Challenge Begins!

This past week at White Oak Trading University was packed with critical lessons, deep market analysis, and real-time trade setups—empowering our members with institutional-level strategies and clarity. 📊💼

🔍 What We Covered:

📌 Bank Trading Secrets Masterclass

We introduced the concept of 🟪 Border Candles—candlestick formations that act as separators between basing candles. This subtle but powerful idea reshapes how we draw and interpret supply and demand zones.

We also broke down trend lines the institutional way, focusing on how major players identify and use them.

📌 CFTC Masterclass: Season 1, Episode 12

We reviewed the latest COT data and spotted significant profit-taking by the banks. This pointed to potential retracements toward key weekly demand zones across multiple currency pairs—setting the stage for exciting trade opportunities. 📉💥

📌 Gold (XAUUSD)

We revisited a 4-hour supply zone, and it held perfectly, resulting in a strong price rejection. We explored how patience and confirmation could’ve made this a textbook short trade. 📉✨

📌 USD/JPY & USD/CHF

USD/JPY approached a demand zone—but with no confirmation, price broke through. That was a loss avoided. Later, a triggered trade didn’t follow through—another reminder of why we wait for clear signals, even if it means missing the first move. 🚦

📌 Stock Market Indices

We noticed indices are now rallying into major weekly supply zones, suggesting possible downside pressure. It's a time for caution on long positions and awareness of reversal setups. ⚠️📉

💰 Personal Challenge: $5K for a Family Cruise

This week also marked the start of a personal trading challenge:

🎯 Make $5,000 CAD to pay for a winter family cruise.

It started as a casual conversation with my wife about new strategies I’ve been developing—ones I believe are powerful for both short-term and long-term trading. I decided to put them to the test with real money.

📈 So far, I’m up $2,600 CAD, and the challenge is just getting started.

👀 What I'm Watching Now:

🔹 USDCHF & USDJPY – Strong bullish potential forming

🔹 NAT GAS – An opportunity may be brewing

🔹 GBPUSD – Watching closely for a short setup

Every chart, every lesson, and every trade this week added another piece to the puzzle of trading mastery. If you haven’t already, check out our content on YouTube:
