what should be the target for a good trader??

something seems very strange about these sudden moves maybe over 100 pips. how is it decided exactly how big a spike is

Trading involves supply and demand. Most of the time, there is market equilibrium as there is enough supply for the demand

However, a news event, or geopolitical instability, natural disaster, war, or economic release creates either a surge in demand that is greater than supply making a price spike on the chart or a great sell off creating a large downward pointing spike/wick

The high price for the period is much greater than the closing price for that period. This reveals that though there was great enthusiasm, there was no follow

through as price immediately retreated to a level of equilibruim and fair market value. This "fair market value" could be and usually is, substantially lower than the high price

if traders are long a currency pair, but price lingers for a long period of time in range, those who make money on order flow need traders to enter new orders

In a stop run, the market moves down to those stops, then those who were stopped out, flip and get short

but new breakout sellers jump in as well with new sell orders and new stops placed above the previous range. Price snaps back up stopping out the new shorts and now a number of those short flip and get long

In some cases the whipsaw attracts more breakout traders and spike reversal traders who feel more comfortable jumping in because price has made a new low

If you now count the number of new orders created from the fluctuations, it is a lot of flow. The housing market is a slow motion example of what happened in my example unfolding over years rather than seconds and minutes

markets do not go up when they are wildly popular. In fact, when people are too bullish and are long a particular currency or stock

that is usually the time that the currency pair or stock falls. One well-known example of extreme bullish sentiment leading to a significant decline was the stock

I want your suggestion please, what is the good time to make strategy, plan about trades and put orders in place?

1 min silver chart that i seems to me quite out of the ordinary and i feel is not sufficiently explained by your previous explanations

something happened but then again nothing happened. lucky for me my stop was not hit but it was very close
