Let’s break down this 20-point bullish trap setup from Thursday, February 12th, during the morning session on the S&P. This setup was framed off a fake move that took a key level shortly after the open, trapped retail traders, and then sold off.

We even set the indicators up for you so you can hit the ground running TODAY! Start Learning to Trade Now! Video Transcript: Hello everyone, it’s Dale here.

This is David from Trader Dale, and today we’re going to go over a recent swing trade that we did on Bitcoin. I’m going to show you how we caught the recent move down and the overall basic logic behind it, which is pretty standard logic that we use in our trading, not only for swing trading but also for day trading as well.
