Risk Management in Trading: Calculations Before EntryRisk management in trading is a practical framework for describing and controlling the risk in an observable market setup, not a promise of results. Assess it on closed candles, on a defined timeframe, and in context. The key is to define the stop loss, invalidation condition, available execution price, and acceptable risk in advance, then record every event without selecting only successful examples.August 15, 20265 min Non-Repainting Indicators: An Honest Signal TestNon-repainting indicators are a practical way to describe an observable market state, not a promise of results. Evaluate them on closed candles, on a defined timeframe, and within their context. The key test is to define indicator repainting, invalidation condition, available execution price, and acceptable risk in advance, then record every event without cherry-picking successful examples.August 14, 20265 min Support and Resistance Levels: How to Find ZonesSupport and resistance levels are a practical way to describe an observable market setup, not a promise of results. Assess them on closed bars, on a specified timeframe, and in context. The key test is to define the breakout, invalidation condition, realistically available execution price, and acceptable risk in advance, then record every event without cherry-picking successful examples.August 13, 20265 min Candlestick Patterns: How to Read Candles Without Guessing the MarketCandlestick patterns are recurring combinations of opening, high, low, and closing prices. They show how the balance of buyers and sellers changed within the selected period, but they do not predict the outcome of a trade by themselves. A useful analysis takes into account the place on the chart, trend, volatility, volume, candle close, and a pre-set scenario cancellation point.August 12, 20269 min External and Internal Liquidity: How to Distinguish the LevelsIn a chart-based model, external liquidity lies beyond the boundaries of the selected range: above its structural high and below its low. Internal liquidity lies inside that range near local extremes, EQH, EQL, and other visible reference points. The classification is relative: the same level may be external to an hourly range and internal to a daily one. This is a working hypothesis, not a precise measurement of resting orders.August 9, 202611 min Types of Liquidity Levels: How to Find Them on a ChartThe main types of liquidity levels on a chart are zones above prominent highs and below prominent lows, equal highs and lows marked as EQH and EQL, range boundaries, previous-day or previous-week highs and lows, and sequences of highs or lows within a compression. Treat these zones as working hypotheses and test them against context, price reaction, and available market data. A standard chart does not reveal the exact concentration of all orders.August 9, 202610 min Premium and Discount Zones: How to Read the Two Halves of a RangePremium and Discount zones divide a selected price range in half. The upper half above Equilibrium is Premium; the lower half is Discount. In a bullish context, traders more often look for confirmed buys in Discount; in a bearish context, they look for sells in Premium. This is a map of an area of interest, not a standalone entry signal.August 9, 20268 min OTE Zone: How to Find a Fibonacci Retracement AreaThe OTE zone is a deep retracement area between the 0.62 and 0.79 Fibonacci levels within a selected impulse leg. The 0.705 level marks the midpoint of this area but is not an automatic entry. First choose the correct extremes, check the structure, and wait for your own confirmation; define risk and scenario invalidation separately.August 9, 20268 min Swings in Trading: How to Read Swing High and Swing LowSwings in trading are prominent price turning points: local highs and lows that form the structure of the selected timeframe. An upward sequence is commonly described as HH and HL, while a downward sequence is described as LH and LL. A high or low alone is not an instruction to trade; first assess the context, confirmation, and the point’s place in the broader sequence.August 9, 20267 min What Is That Line Moving Across the Chart? Moving Averages in TradingMoving averages are lines drawn over a chart that calculate the average price over a recent number of candles. They do not show the future: they smooth out minor fluctuations and make an established direction easier to see. The longer the period, the smoother the line and the later it turns. Below, we cover period selection, the difference between EMA and SMA, and the situations where a moving average is most likely to mislead.August 7, 202612 min RSI Indicator vs. Midas: One Signal or a Complete Trading SystemThe RSI indicator shows one thing: whether the market is overbought or oversold. That clue is useful, but it is not a system: RSI does not see the trend, levels, or volume, and it does not tell you where to enter, place a stop, or set a target. In Midas, RSI is one of six oscillators, supported by trend, levels, volume, and liquidity. Below, we show exactly where a single line falls short and what the system adds.August 7, 20267 min Bollinger Bands: How to Read a Squeeze, Expansion, and Price BreakoutBollinger Bands consist of a moving average and two bands set a specified number of standard deviations away from it. When price fluctuations increase, the channel widens; when they subside, it narrows. A band shows how high or low price is relative to its recent history. It is not an automatic reversal level, and a squeeze does not reveal whether the next breakout will be upward or downward.August 7, 202611 min

How the knowledge base is organised

The Midas Knowledge Base is a free learning library maintained by the Midas Team. It brings together articles, step-by-step guides, videos and practical chart reviews, from the first market concepts to structured trading methods. The sections are arranged so that a new reader can follow a learning sequence, while an experienced trader can go directly to the task, tool or term that needs clarification.

A useful starting point is trading fundamentals and the glossary. These sections establish the language of orders, charts, trends and risk before more advanced material is introduced. Technical and fundamental analysis then explain different kinds of evidence: what can be observed on the chart, what can change around an event, and which conclusions the available data cannot support on its own.

Risk management remains part of every learning path. Position size, invalidation and the limits of historical evidence matter whether the example concerns currencies, stocks, futures, indices or another market available in TradingView. Strategy articles, video lessons and chart reviews are intended to connect those principles to a repeatable process rather than present isolated signals as a promise of results.

This knowledge base is educational. It explains methods of analysis and the responsible use of tools, but it does not provide personalised financial advice. Trading decisions and risk remain with the user. English links resolve only to English pages; when a semantic peer does not exist, its destination stays unavailable instead of opening Russian content.
