Cold. Hard. Facts. Not fiction like 99% of this space.
Finding MT and the brightest minds who break down his teachings has been a game-changer—giving people like me a real shot at understanding. Always grateful 🙏🙏
There is only ONE Master & only ONE Way—if you don’t get that, you’re doomed. Emotion has no place here. MT’s wisdom (given for free, to be honest) was the slap in the face I needed.

This gives a whole new meaning to being a GOAT and I am here for it! 😍🥰
Sicily has a four-legged early warning system for Mount Etna. It has a beard, it eats gorse, and it is beating several million euros of monitoring equipment by half a day.
The shepherds have known this for as long as anyone has kept goats on that mountain. The herd tells you. No drama about it, no bleating, no rearing up and pointing at the summit. They simply decline to go up the hill that morning, and if the goats will not go up, neither do you. Oldest volcano warning system in Europe. Costs nothing. Runs on scrub.
For most of history the scientific response to this has been a polite nod and a change of subject.
Then in 2011 a German turned up with a box of trackers.
Martin Wikelski of the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour has an unfashionable habit of asking local people what they already know before deciding they are simple. He collared goats living year-round on the slopes and started logging where they went, and when, and how fast.
On 4 January 2012 the data went peculiar. The animals turned down the high pastures they use every day of their lives, all of them, and headed for the trees. The seismometers were quiet. The gas monitors were quiet. In a control room in Catania, a great deal of very expensive equipment was reporting a perfectly ordinary Wednesday.
That evening Etna started throwing lava and ash into the sky.
Six hours.
The same signature has now turned up before eight major eruptions, and at the extreme the goats move fourteen hours ahead of the mountain. Ahead of the tremor. Ahead of the gas. Ahead of everything the volcanologists are paid to watch.
Nobody knows how they do it. The best guess is sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide venting beforehand at concentrations no human nose could ever find, which would mean the animals are smelling the future and declining to comment. Wikelski's own summary is that they know in advance, we have no idea how, but they do.
The institute says there is not yet enough data for a formal warning system. More eruptions, more animals, more species. Which is the correct scientific answer and a very funny one, since the shepherds reached sufficient confidence somewhere around the Bronze Age and have been acting on it every day since.
Rome had geese who saved the city by making a racket when the Gauls came over the wall, and honoured them for it every year afterwards.
Etna has their spiritual successors, doing the same job by refusing to walk uphill.
We have a word in English for a man who behaves like a goat. It means he eats anything, wrecks anything, and understands nothing.
The goat currently outperforms a seismograph.
So true!
"When you have done something long enough, your mind begins to recognize patterns automatically, even if you cannot immediately explain them.
This kind of intuition is a gift. It cannot be bought or quickly learned. It can only be earned and refined through experience, through mistakes, and through repetition"

In the wild ride of Bitcoin, timing the peak is everything.
Picture this: if you peg the macro top a tad too high and the market crashes just below your mark, you hold on too long, sell nothing, and watch your gains evaporate in a matter of weeks.
I encourage you to remember the sentiment on X during peaks. It'll probably help you find red flags, warning signs. If you don't remember well, you can always check the charts, find where tops formed, and advance search the most followed mainstream media accounts, Saylor, and the usual larp-whales content during those times. You can find a lot of answers.
Now flip it: if you call the top for a lower level and it hits a smidge above, you can sell before the crash, lock in profits, and avoid most of the carnage.
Example with my macro extreme premium top call for Bitcoin at $115,000 and with a clear opportunity to short and sell more at the HTF 3rd drive on Bitcoin. I'd rather be that bit early than late. On spot, i want to sell before crashes, not during crashes or bottoms. Most people are afraid to sell too early, so they choose to follow the noise in this space, where it's everyone's opinion Vs a handful of traders [who also hold but not perpetually] opinions, even if those traders are right most of the time and many powerful charts are at extreme premium levels.
It's the brutal asymmetry of prediction. Undershoot and you're golden, but overshoot and you're wrecked. This is why being a clueless moonboy will always get you wrecked. Of course, ego is the silent assassin in this game. No one wants to admit they're wrecked because of their ego.
Razor-thin line between success and regret in this game.

Recently we have witnessed crypto go through extreme turmoils resulting in big and aggressive drop. Not one. But many. But was it a drop impossible to trade? Was is a drop impossible to catch and cash in on?
I am here to show you a perspective on the market that should help you make better choices when it comes to your entries. It might also help you understand the dynamic of he market better.
None of this tho will just come to you. You still need to spend a lot of time on charts getting to know how it all works. The more you draw, the more you pay attention to key levels (past key turning points are perfect to start with!), where you go beyond the obvious (it mooned or I dropped) the better you will become at being in control of your decisions and making most out of each move. Even if you miss some…
Let’s start here. Back in October $BTC hit another ATH. Euphoria, the usual predictions of “UPtober”, “super cycle”- but what we see is a 3x hit into the highs. One of the signature moves used by the MM and often pointed out by Moneytaur as a powerful formation to watch out for.
(As a side note - as I am trying to make this post more detailed and educational (FYI not all will be like this going forward… I will not be as obvious in my explanations but I am hoping this one will inspire more of you to really see the “bigger pictures” for what they are)- not ALL "3x hits" will result in the same follow up pattern. You will need to learn how to spot SOS and SOW to see which direction and why the pattern most likely is going to go and spot your invalidations quicker than all the rest of the herd to minimise your loses in case it is not going as predicted).
That 3x hits resulted in drop of more than 19% of value on $BTC. ( I am not here to talk about what caused the drop and I am not going to discuss the 10/10 event or any other. There is a big reason for it. I want every reader to concentrate on technicals first and foremost. Events, news etc - are important to pay attention to- but you need to get the order of things you are doing right above all. If you are waiting for the news to carry out before you have your analysis you are already loosing. You need to train your brain to accept data like a computer. Process it and come out with a ready made picture that is based on data- painting best probabilities and possibilities you can act on - the news etc will happen in their own time. And soon you will start understanding what “timing the market” actually means. But without becoming a “machine” when it comes to processing what you see on the technical side you cannot proceed).
But what if you missed that drop? Was there any sense in trying to enter after that?
Well…if you know your basics- and you should, really should (read my pinned post for some more examples what basics are)- you know about market structure break of structure, liquidity, supply and demand as well as basic 3 wave move between those two. So you know you can now plan and plot for an in. And then you wait.
The entry doesn’t always come fast. The entry isn’t always very obvious. And most of the time the entry will come with doubt, hesitation and some fear. But when you put the data together- you know your odds and then you act. You already have one big piece of the puzzle put together- 3x hits and a massive reaction to it. You then look at the formation and see for potential FVGs, liquidity, untested fibs(and more)… you put that all into your database- your computer that is your mind that is learning how to operate this market without emotions. And you see this picture.
That entry takes 18 days to come. That’s nearly 3 weeks. You not only have an opportunity to long in that period and squeeze something out of the 12% retrace but also print on another epic drop that goes on for further 30%. But… if you were too scared and paid too much attention to your X feed - you didn’t right? - Back to the point here I am trying to make by writing this post- your knowledge of the most basic rules and laws of the market is where you are going to be making the money.
At first it does take a while to find your way in the maze with all the different techniques, tools, ways etc… (But those who follow MT and me for a while know at this point how “simple” it can become and that what Moneytaur has opened our eyes to is truly life changing) and even at that you still find it sometimes overwhelming. But once again- let me emphasise the importance of staying focused on WHAT you KNOW and SEE with all the PLAIN and SIMPLE information right in front of you. Once you grasp it- you can start adding more and more, layer on top of the layer... keep on mastering the game to keep on levelling up.
Now… what if I told you there’s more but most of you fumbled it too cos you all got stuck in the chop letting emotions take over?...And what if you paid attention to THE most OBVIOUS and IN your FACE facts AKA KEY levels, market structure and liquidity??
That key level took 53 days to arrive. That is nearly two months… Two months of mostly chop and scam wicks. It was chopping and trapping people around the “Santa Rally” promise…and NY Q1 new bullish phase incoming… but AGAIN- back to the FACTS only.
Yes there was a way to long- the whole move was in around of 20% and there was “easy” 11-14% that could have been pocketed on. Simply watching the structure, paying attention to liquidity and the fibs…
And the short… well- yesterday’s finale will be talked about for months to come. Similarly as the 10/10 event was. All the while inflicting fear, doubt, hesitation and mudding the waters so you do not see the big picture. The drop was so brutal (no stopping at key levels, flaky reactions at most sought buy levels, etc, etc). To say that- it took over 20 days to arrive. And your ability to take profits on the way down skilfully is another thing (maybe another post another time… but everything here is interconnected and if you pay attention everything will be making more and more sense if you stick with it).
So the question and the big point of this post is- do you know now what to do and how to approach the potential bottom? If you missed it and IT IS the bottom…? And if it is not… what are you going to be paying attention to? What is your next move?
Let me know in the comments what your thoughts are after reading the post and how you are planning on playing the next market move? And can you maybe already see how there is ALWAYS an opportunity to trade no matter what direction or level the market is at and getting on the MOST optimal levels at that that bring best RR?...
Ps. I am not saying any of this is easy or that what I showed you is enough. This post was to provoke you to shift perspective, see things that are there and you might not be looking at at all or letting other things distract you. Sometimes LESS is MORE. Try it… and then start building more and more. Also - trading is never risk free. No matter what you see and how sure you are you always have to be ready to invalidate your ideas. But without seeing the facts you will never be able to see the right path either.

📖 25 "Cheat-codes" to achieve Success in Life
1) If you want to flourish, you take care of the soil rather than the seed. Upgrade your environment, because your environment upgrades you.
2) A flower doesn't go after the bee. The flower flourishes, and then the bee will come. Stop chasing butterflies. Plant a garden (build) so they will come to you (results)
3) Stop hanging out with losers unless you want to be one yourself. Hanging out online included - The sources you choose to receive content from, are one very big reason for your future decisions and outcomes. Choose carefully what you fill your mind it, and what you spend your most valuable asset (time) on. Don't worry about following too many sources or having too many friends. Quality over Quantity.
4) Try to never be the smartest person in all rooms you're in. Be somewhere where you can consistently learn, and be somewhere where you can consistently teach - Teaching is learning twice and can build trustworthy networks.
5) Define one Big goal for your life. Make it explicit. It will serve as your north star. Write it down in detail on a piece of paper and look at it every once in a while to remind yourself why you're doing all of this. People who write down goals are much more likely to achieve them Vs who doesn't.
6) Once you know where you're going, stay in your lane and let the nay-sayers be. They'll try to distract you and discourage you, because deep inside they actually fear you achieve more than they ever did. Remember that you're not competing with them. You're competing with poverty and who you were yesterday. Seek progress rather than perfection.
7) The worst position to find yourself in: No money + No time. Barely anyone on the planet is victim of both combined. The person who has time can always choose to trade it for money. Once you have money, you can begin choosing to trade it for time. Learn this arbitrage and you're sorted for life.
8) There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. Focus on doing what you do, and do it consistently better. It takes thousands of hours to master anything life-changing.
9) For as long as you live remember that the only free cheese is in the mousetrap.
10) Every day, do one thing that gets you closer to your big goal. Venture out into the unknown. Get out of your comfort zone. Remember, boats are safe in the harbor, but that's not what boats are for.
11) Do not quit. Everyone who won at life, simply did not give up. It might take a while, it might be hard, it might be scary at times, but as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you will eventually get to a life most can only dream of. Hardships are life's way of seeing if you're ready to level up.
12) Never assume the answer is No before you ask. Let them be the ones to tell you No. More often than not you'll be surprised by how wrong you were to assume the worst. A "No" doesn't change your reality much. A "Yes" might do. Even if you get a "No", then you can ask what would've made them say "Yes". Their feedback will help you grow. You need the right mindset to understand the value on this.
13) Let them hate. Nobody throws stones at a tree that doesn't have ripe fruit on it. If you begin having haters, you're growing.
14) Stop expecting them to see what you see. Stop expecting them to act the way you would act. Stop expecting YOU from other people. They won't be able to see the world the way you see it. When you talk growth and achievements with people who don't want to grow, to them it sounds like bragging. They'll resent you from trying to move up from where they are, because your progress makes them realize that they are less in comparison. A man with no aspirations sees dreams as arrogance.
15) Others will only see the outcome, not the effort. "Overnight success" usually takes years to accomplish.
16) Stop chasing people. Yes, sex is fun, but making your dreams come true is the ultimate climax. You can't even imagine what it's like to wake up without the stress of having to survive/follow boss's rules.
17) The only real test of intelligence is if you actually get what you want out of life. Ask yourself: "If i'm so smart why am i not rich? Why have i been so many years selling my time for cheap money to make other people rich?"
Smart people are able to figure these things out. Maybe you're just smarter than your inner circle and that makes you feel smart enough, but are you?...Self-reflect and you might find the answers to change your life moving forward.
18) Learn to use leverage (and this is not about futures...) Those who use the tools at their disposal outperform the rest. Most people's lives are cheap because they think investing in themselves is expensive.
19) Rise up early. The world is lazy and unmotivated. It's easy to compete with them if you're up before them. An extra hour awake is worth more when you're 30 than when you're 80. It pays off to cut on sleep when you're younger.
20) In life you have to choose one of two pains: The pain of Discipline, or the pain of Regret.
21) You feel bad because deep down you know you could be doing better. The gap between reality and expectations creates stress. Either bring your reality to the level of your expectations, or bring your expectations to the level of your reality. Make a choice.
22) People want you to do well in life, but not better than them. Pay attention to those who don't cheer when you win. They're always ready to give you "advice" or even laugh if you fail, because they never win.
23) You can get rich by taking large amounts of risk with low amounts of money. You stay rich by taking low amounts of risk with large amounts of money.
24) Cost of public failure is the ticket to the life you dream about. Most people live with the fear of public embarassment, so they settle for whatever society tells them to settle for. You don't need others to believe in you if you believe in yourself. You get to decide whether to be your greatest obstacle, or your biggest fan.
25) The world where you were born, no longer exists, so open up your mind and get ready for the future.
Lastly, it's not the recipe that you're missing. You're smart enough to know what needs to be done, but you have to do it rather than thinking of doing it later. What you need is 6 months of focus, productive routine. In 3 years from now your life can be so much better if for the next 6 months you put in the work on your mindset and skills.

I'm seeing a split of interpretation of what Moneytaur means by "🇨🇳NY'26 🔼side 93/07" in the MT community. Some ppl seem to think he means this will be the top. In what world does "upside" mean "top"? It's driving me mildly bananas, so lets analyze it...
Look at the clues Moneytaur has been dropping:
🧩- "🇨🇳NY'26 🔼side 93/07"
(93% probability of upside on Chinese New Year 2026, which is in late Feb. Specifically, CNY is on Feb 17th, but the festival celebrations lasts for 2 weeks after that. If you think back to when MT was dropping clues about the Titanic narrative when he said "71/29", well he later explicitly told us that it meant "71% probability for a bullish reversal". So 93/07 means 93% probability of bullish reversal. Still don't believe it? He literally says "upside" in the post too!)
🧩- "The kangaroo is still in the house."
(he said this right after the 10/10 crash. It's a reference to "kangaroo market", which means it'll bounce between range highs & lows, like ping-pong, not a classic bull or bear market)
🧩- "Fastest altcoins crash of all time in 2025." (arguably happened on Oct 10th ✅)
"Fastest altcoins pump of all time in 2026."
(yet to happen, could align with CNY pump ⌛)
🧩- "Less than 1,000 coins in the market by late 2026. The purge will come."
(implying a massive crash will come by late 2026. He has also referenced an eventual "coup de grâce" many times over the past 2 years)
🧩- "Near perfect replica in the first half of 2026."
(he said this straight after the 10/10 scam wick / crash, implying that that PA will repeat. What if it repeats but as a larger fractal?)
(I'll put links to all these tweets in the thread below)
Now obviously MT doesn't have a crystal ball, and it's all just probabilities and educated guessing, but his track record is pretty damn great, so decoding him is worthwhile, and fading him is high-risk.
If we put all those pieces together, a bigger picture starts to emerge...
Here's the scenario i have playing in my head right now:
1) 🏓 Bounce around in big range for a few months until CNY pump, with sentiment always flipping from "omg altseason!" when it gets to range highs and "omg bear market!" when it gets to range lows, over and over)
2) 💥 Blow off top from CNY'26, but it's very fast and nobody catches it (like the scam wick of 10/10 but in reverse). Exchanges freeze as they allow whales to sell their final bags. BTC maybe tops out at 135k - 140k.
3) 🩸 Biblical crash after that. Total crypto purge. Only 1000 altcoins remain (MT's preciction).
🤷♂️ Maybe something like this:

Moneytaur study blueprint 🗺️
The process I used to go from not knowing what an order block is to pulling cash from the crypto markets in under 6 months using @Moneytaur_ concepts.
Proof of performance, past 120 days👇
Start date: 09/03/2025 teapaw.org/CTD444/status/18988675…
Requirements:
- A PC/laptop
- Wifi
- A basic understanding of trading. ( What candlesticks are, how to actually place trades , etc )
- A free mind
- Time or the ability to free up time.
Starting:
- Structure and routine
- Stick to that routine + Pre mortem plan.
- Notion / Obsidian setup.
The first thing you need to create is a clear routine moulded around how you intend to approach this very large and complex task. This will not be linear and you will naturally adapt it as you progress but especially in the beginning some resemblance of structure each day is vital.
This is an individual process but it is important to understand from the beginning that this will require a majority of your free time assuming you work a full time Job or study as a student. For me in the beginning this looked like:
- Wake up at 6:30.
- Shower
- Study/work for 1h 45m before leaving for work.
- 09:00 -> 17:00 work
- 17:30 Exercise / Train
- Eat
- 19:00 resume study/work
- 22:30 Start to wind down and get ready to sleep.
It changed several times over the months and especially now I am full time but this is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is sticking with what you choose.
Whatever your own routine may look like, it is important to understand it will inevitably require sacrifice.
---
The next thing once you have established a draft framework of your routine is ensuring you will actually stick to that routine. Something I implemented which I found particularly beneficial was the concept of a Pre-Mortem plan. This involves creating several scenarios of a future in which you have failed and working backwards from each of these to find where it went wrong. Here is a video which explains it fully: youtu.be/LFDC4Z8OE70?si=iWhs…
When I did this I came up with 3 scenarios as well as prevention and cure for each. In the 6 months that followed each scenario presented at some point but I was able to catch them early due to having done this.
The last thing is to not over complicate this, don't hyper focus on systems and loose momentum optimizing each detail. Just ensure you do the fucking work.
I was a little guilty of the above at times, trying to craft the perfect routine. In reality the person who just gets up, drinks too much coffee and works his ass off out performs the workflow perfectionist who visualizes and repeats affirmations, any day of the week.
---
Next you need somewhere to store your notes, journal your trades and build your knowledge.
For me this was Obsidian but I have also used Notion before and it is an equally viable option. Whichever one of these you choose be warned you will inevitably want to bang your head against a wall trying to use them for the first few days, but they will both click pretty quick and are 100% better options the word document or paper alternative.
Here is my full obsidian setup tutorial: teapaw.org/CTD444/status/19224039…
Here is a link to @studentoffew 's notion Journal: teapaw.org/studentoffew/status/18…
Here is how I create "Meta-Notes" using obsidian: teapaw.org/CTD444/status/19343217…
The process:
- How I did it.
- How I would do it if doing it again.
Now I did things the "hard way" and manually worked my way back through each of MT's tweets starting in 2021, reading every one and logging those that I felt where relevant. You can see in my first post: teapaw.org/CTD444/status/18988675… the very first system I used to do this. I quickly adapted though after about a week and focused less on just logging each relevant tweet but trying to find and focusing on those which contained the most information. There where a lot of charts I looked at then skipped over because especially at the start of his timeline they contained little useful information and my time was better spent finding those where there was something to decode. Now this does not mean skip out on "work" just use your time efficiently.
--
If however if I was to start from the beginning again with the goal of levelling up technical understanding as quickly as possible I would take a different approach. To start with I would familiarise myself with all relevant SMC concepts, I have linked the best free recourses for this below 👇
@CryptoChase02 beginner friendly index: teapaw.org/CryptoChase02/status/1…
@barnc0re's "The Moneytaur Way" series: teapaw.org/barnc0re/status/198049…
@materagian's Trading bootcamp playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
Following this I would then work through all of Taur's subscription posts working backwards, recreating his charts and taking notes on his logic. The subscription feed has the highest value density and least noise.
Video example of my notes from his subscription posts 👇:
---
Okay so now once you have a basic understanding of concepts and can re-recreate them on charts of your own it is time to put this in to practice. The next step is vigorous backtesting, you can use the trading view tool but I think trade Zella offers a more use friendly option if you pay for the subscription. Especially as it allows you to change timeframes without skipping ahead to candle close time of the timeframe you change too ( like Trading view does )
*my only note would be that their LTF/Micro TF data feed with be different to brokerage charts you will use on Trading view, to start with though you should not be going low enough that this is an issue.
When you backtest in this context, treat it like real trading. That means journal and logging like you would if real cash was on the line. Take time, do not rush and focus on quality.
Stick to BTC, ETH, Major FX pairs or indices as these assets are less reliant on confluence, backtesting a shitcoin is near useless as whether levels work or not will be highly dependent on Majors PA. Go on HTF, scroll back a couple years and try not too look at chart while doing so and then begin. Start with HTF analysis and work down to 2H or wherever you feel comfortable, chart it fully and then identify setups. Make rough notes / plans and then press play, execute the setups as they hit, log and journal trade management as well as observations and key notes. It is very important to not cheat when you do this, do not skip back and adjust your stoploss because it hit by 0.1%, do not skip back and adjust plan because you missed a block and your TP got frontrun. Instead these are the things you journal, embrace these mistakes because they are the cheapest mistakes you are going to make.
Grind this, do it for hours, put some music on and enjoy. To start with focus on HTF's, as you get better and start netting $ on paper you can drop the timeframes and increase the difficulty. HTF = Normal, MTF = Medium, LTF = Hard. Even if you do not intend to day trade, learning how to read the lower TF's that force you to think faster, harder and prepare you for lower win rates / loss streaks can greatly improve your ability on higher TF's.
While you are doing this as you start to have concepts click you now want to build up your real trading experience, take a sum of money that you care about but will be okay loosing and dedicate this to live trading. Start taking real trades and expect net losses in the beginning. This is where you will make you 2nd cheapest mistakes. This is also where you can begin to learn about your psychology. You may encounter some elements already in backtesting but the real market is where true colours really start to show.
Mental issues are inevitable and part of the game, get used to them and start working to identify and fix them. Reading and applying books like Trading in the Zone and Mental Game of Trading are important and will help a lot but there is no easy fix, for some stuff you I believe you just have to get used to it and it goes away with experience. Losses suck at the beginning but after you loose 100 times you starting getting pretty numb to it, same goes for the winners.
To accelerate the learning process, build connections and get advice there is also always the option of private groups, while I never personally chose this route and committed to learning everything through my own endeavours there is no denying that having nearly all the information you need structured and compiled in one place is valuable and can save time. Beyond this having access to real time thoughts and opinions of profitable traders can accelerate performance, however it carries the risk of being a double edged sword if not used properly, if relying on it like a crutch and using it as a substitute for real work you will not succeed. With that said if you take it for what it is, a learning opportunity then I believe it can be very beneficial. I am not a member of, nor affiliated with any paid group.
There are now many options available within the community, all run by different people with different styles, tailored to different needs. If I was to make a recommendation though, as a non-member, it would be @Albert_618 & Co's 618'ers simply due to the diversity in styles of the traders running it and results I have seen from members I know personally.
It is important that as you start to trade with real capital you reduce noise in your social feeds or eliminate it all together. You do not need 5 different opinions, you also do not need 2 people telling you the same thing in their own way so you feel re-assured. What you do need is to develop your independent thinking as a trader and be comfortable making different decisions to others, even traders ahead of yourself if it fits with your system or understanding of market. Taur here is perhaps an exception as this is who you are learning from but down the line a real test of your own ability and independence will be being able to stick with your own plan even when it differs from his. Don't get me wrong, counter trading him is retarded but you must learn to adapt his gift to your own style. This will make sense at some point.
The next stage is taking your understanding of specific concepts to higher level as you simultaneously snowball experience. Look back through your journal and review where you lost money and made money, do not over extrapolate from a small sample but start to take notes and observe if trends in performance emerge. This is the beginning of the transition to self reliance, you now understand the strategy but must learn for yourself when and where it works.
Here you can also learn more nuanced secondary concepts such as VSA, orderflow etc and add these to your game where appropriate. Do NOT get lost in the sauce though and remember mastery of basics is key. IMO a big focus should be understanding correlation thoroughly but especially on HTF's this is the most important thing and what triggers the majority of large swings where most of your cash will be made and losses recovered.
Some people will disagree with me here but IMO you should also not be *focusing* on Odd TF's. These are secondary at best and most people overweight their significance leading to avoidable losses while wondering why price did not care about their 327minute Breaker Block which they think is the key to the market. Study Taurs feed and take note of how he mostly uses: 3M, 1M, 3W, 2W, 1W, 5D, 4D, 3D, 2D, 1D, 12H, 8H, 6H, 4H, 2H, 1H, 30m, 15m + micro time frames.
The only thing left is time and repetition, you must show up each day and really do this, for months. Maybe you start to see result's, you catch your first key swing and where able to trade where others froze. Congratulations. Learn from these winners and repeat the actions. Find what assets work best for you, find your style, refine and grow.

Thank you too all those who have read this, I hope this has been helpful for the beginners who want to start but are just not sure how. 🫶
Don't just bookmark this and move on, start 🙃
It is my intention starting from the time of writing 09/3/25 to spend the following 6 months studying the way of Moneytaur. What started as scepticism over the due course of the past months has morphed into amazement and pure intrigue. The accuracy and nature of his posts reflect *just as it says on the tin* mastery of this game. The dedication and supportiveness of his community I have observed as an outside party on top of the countless testimonials and results are unlike that I have seen anywhere else and I truly believe with the necessary work, blood, sweat and tears I can follow in their foot steps.
My plan is to do exactly as his tweet says. 6 months of being purely locked in to deciphering his ways. No distractions. Hard work, discipline and nothing else. That means I will be in a phase of intense study until Monday the 10th of September (9/9/25).
Seeing as there is no clear curriculum or guide ( that I have found ) on how to do this from scratch I intend to take what I deem the most logical route working from start to finish through every tweet shared by him and deciphering them one at a time. That which I do not understand within the tweets will then show me what it is I need to go and learn.
Armed with my journal, my obsidian ( in its very early stages ), a flowchart and 29 Thousand @Moneytaur_ posts. Time to prove myself 💯. Casting this into the void so I can see where I started from in years to come.
Now less talking, more doing.
Time to start connecting dots.

✍️In MT (Crypto) trading there is:
Planning – Executing – Managing the trade
=
Before – During – After taking the trade
Planning / Before:
- Looking for liquidity (HOB, FVG, Fib, OP, etc)
- Validating liquidity (VSA, FRVP, OF, etc)
- Analysing MS (HTF→LTF)
- Validating MS (BOS/CHOCH, Body-close, etc)
- Defining Entry + SL + TP’s / target (MO, EQ, Fib, etc)
- Defining Risk (Risk%, R:R, Size)
Executing / During:
- Majors alignment (BTC/ETH, USDT.D, TOTALs, etc)
- Volume at reaction points (RVOL)
- Orderflow (CVD, OI, Absorption, Funding, etc)
- Candle closes (Respecting level)
- Trigger (LTF-shift)
- Enter / dismiss (Rules)
- Adjusting risk (Scale/Shrink)
Managing / After:
- Adjusting SL (BE/Trail)
- Majors direction
- Closing position (TP/BCS reached)
Many more details can be added if we zoom in, and some actions can move between timeframes, but this text is a Framework for my trading. If you have feedback, leave a comment so I / We can make it more complete. Depending on your level of @Moneytaur_ trading, you’ll read more or less into it.

The Federal Reserve has quietly flooded hundreds of billions into the banking system the last 5 days. Giving banks cash in exchange for government securities to ease liquidity pressure, as bank reserves dropped to their lowest level in four years. Stepping in to prevent funding stress behind the scenes and helping out their good old friends again ? Sounds familiar...

Pro tip for traders: Master one asset.
It’s not just about discipline, it’s about profitability.
When you stick with a single asset, you start to understand what I like to call its “personality”: how it moves liquidity, how it reacts to levels, how traps form before major moves.
That kind of familiarity translates directly into better execution and higher-quality trades.
Jumping between assets resets your learning curve every time.
You’re always adapting instead of refining, but when your focus stays on one, every trade (win or loss) feeds back into a sharper understanding of what actually works.
Consistency in results starts with consistency in focus.
Master one asset, and your edge compounds faster than your mistakes.

Seeing the comment section reminds me of something i wrote earlier this year...
Whales build beliefs/narratives, and the longer they allow these beliefs/narratives run, the more people will join as a "believer". Eventually, and when most will take decisions based on "what happens all the time" and "consensus", it will do a 180°
I'm not sure if it will be anytime soon, but Saylor purchases have already built this "it's going down for sure" belief, and this idea is still growing. Whales "enter your mind" and drop an idea/belief without you noticing, and this goes on for a while, because it's a process that takes time (mind manipulation)
Jim Cramer counter-tradoooooor has been working wonders for a long while, until it doesn't, and investors will fail, and then begin revenge-trading.
Another narrative is the moon phases: teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1590…
It's not the moon moving the markets. It's actually the collective belief in its power that sways outcomes. Eventually it's "accuracy" will subside, believers in those narratives enter Denial once their expectation fails, leading them down a path called "Death spiral" while assuming it's just a "one-off mistake"
It's how they play with investors minds, deceiving and manipulating them. If you don't understand the psychology in this game, you will be +1 sheep whales will toy with. They're ahead of all of us. We either understand their mindset or we get REKT.
ALWAYS assess carefully when an opinion is already consensus and what seems most logical. Don't follow the herd 🤝

- MARKET STRUCTURE -
- Basics
@Moneytaur_ does not reference market structure often, not because its not important, but because these basics should be learned elsewhere. For this writeup, here’s a brief refresher before moving to some MT-specific concepts.
-------
- Trends
Trends are always relative to the timeframe.
Higher timeframe trends dominate lower ones.
Bullish Trend
Consists of a series of higher highs and higher lows.
Bearish Trend
Consists of a series of lower highs and lower lows.
📝A sideways trend is made up of smaller trends confined to a range.
-------
- Structure
Market structure is the foundation on which all key concepts in MT’s trading style are built. Liquidity, imbalances, and supply and demand are all rooted in structure.
Price action is the process that builds this foundation. PA follows liquidity, and this constant search for liquidity shapes structures.
Imbalances between buyers and sellers create directional moves (FVGs), while balance creates fair value zones (Ranges).
Balance → Imbalance → Balance → Imbalance
“If there’s no significant imbalances, there will be OBs and Supply/Demand fresh levels. If there’s no OBs and Supply/Demand fresh levels, there will be significant imbalances.
If there’s none at all it will ⚡️ into a ‘fresh’ level and build a new trading range.
Few…” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1766…
The higher the timeframe, the more robust the structure and the more reliable the signal. HTF > LTF.
Structure defines supply and demand, premium & discount, and creates liquidity zones. It also defines ranges. When price action moves beyond these range boundaries, there are four main possible outcomes:
• Break out/down: price breaks through the range and keeps moving.
• Rejection: price fails to break the range.
• Break out/down plus retest: price closes relevant candle bodies past the range and continues after retracing back into key liquidity.
• Fake-out: price breaks out/down, and then reverses.
Outcomes 3 and 4 differ clearly.
Fake-outs are usually sharp and aggressive, often leaving large wicks from stop hunts or liquidity grabs.
Retests tend to be slower and more deliberate, usually following higher timeframe candle closes past the prior range boundaries.
“Look for HTF body close above previous most significant swing highs. If not, it’s likely a false breakout. If it does, the highest probability play is waiting for a pullback into key level before continuation into the next HTF liquidity level, and if there’s none to take it will likely go to new ATH.”
teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1777…
- Internal vs. External Structure
External Structure
• The overall trend visible on a higher timeframe (relative to a lower timeframe).
• A weekly chart is made up of seven daily candles; compared to the daily, the weekly is external structure.
Internal Structure
• The smaller movements within the higher timeframe, seen on lower timeframes.
• Shows smaller trends inside the larger move.
Internal structure can shift short-term without changing the external trend. Always let the external (HTF) structure guide your HTF bias; internal structure offers early clues.
Example: (📈 in comments)
This 2W chart is external structure and clearly in an uptrend.
On this daily chart of the grey box, we are in a downtrend. This is internal structure.
The examples highlight the importance of always seeing structures in relation to each other.
M > W > D > H > M > S
Internal structure shifts can be the early clue that external structure may change. Let the higher timeframes define the macro structure and watch for early signs on lower timeframes.
-------
- Market Phases
The Four Market Phases
Accumulation
• Typically follows a downtrend but can appear anywhere market makers prepare for markup.
• The range lets market makers accumulate while pushing news to fit the narrative.
Buy Program (Bull Market/Markup)
• Follows accumulation or re-accumulation.
• The asset appreciates in value.
Distribution
• Typically follows an uptrend but can appear anywhere market makers prepare for markdown.
• The range lets market makers offload while pushing news to fit the narrative.
Sell Program (Bear Market/Markdown)
• Follows distribution or re-distribution, depending on context.
• The asset depreciates in value.
(📈 in comments)
- The Psychology of the Phases
Accumulation
Emotion: Skepticism, disbelief, apathy
Psychology: Most traders are fearful or disinterested. Market makers are quietly buying.
Behaviour: Retail avoids the market; volume is low; sentiment is bearish or indifferent.
Media manipulation: The most bearish news marks the bottom. “Markets are dead.”
Bull Market (Markup/Buy Program)
Emotion: Optimism, excitement, euphoria
Psychology: Confidence builds as prices rise. Retail starts buying in; FOMO.
Behaviour: Volume increases; media turns positive; public participation grows.
Media manipulation: Coverage increases and sentiment turns bullish in line with price.
🔺Intensifies with trend
Distribution
Emotion: Greed, overconfidence, denial
Psychology: Retail believes the trend will continue; smart money is offloading.
Behaviour: Volatility increases; price chops; bullish sentiment remains high.
Media manipulation: News remains bullish; influencers push FOMO narratives.
Bear Market (Markdown/Sell Program)
Emotion: Anxiety, fear, panic, capitulation, despair
Psychology: Retail sells in panic. Smart money prepares to accumulate again.
Behaviour: Heavy selling; negative news cycle; retail sells at loss.
Media manipulation: After the initial selloff, fear-driven headlines dominate.
🔺Intensifies with trend
🔺Understand that the system runs on predictable human behaviour. Stay hyper-aware of your own emotions and learn to flip them into signals instead of traps.
“When you feel you will make a lot of money by holding, it is close to the top. When you feel you will lose all your money by holding, it is close to the bottom.
Your own fear and greed emotions are two of the most powerful indicators you will ever find.” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1736…

- Market Structure Shifts
Changes in structure are vital for gauging the probabilities of the next move. Understanding these shifts and the patterns that reveal them is essential for becoming consistently profitable.
BOS – Break of Structure
A BOS occurs when price closes relevant candle bodies past a significant high or low. It confirms a change in structure.
CHoCH – Change of Character
A CHoCH happens when price breaks structure in the opposite direction of the current trend. It’s the first signal of a possible trend reversal.
BOMS – Break of Market Structure
A BOMS is a clear break of market structure, usually on higher timeframes and significant levels. It confirms a shift in intent when validated and often shows higher volume and leaves FVGs behind.
- Trend Changes
Using trends, BOS, CHoCH, and BOMS helps identify key structural shifts in the market. Knowing when the market transitions from a buy to a sell program is crucial for being profitable.
“Buy program: Bullish BBs work wonders.
Buy program: Bearish BBs can often fail, unless optimal.
Sell program: Bearish BBs work wonders.
Sell program: Bullish BBs can often fail, unless optimal.” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1898…
Putting all learned concepts together helps us spot potential tops forming. Using the ideas above gives us further confirmation.

- MT’s 1,2,3 System (Squiggles)
For MT, structural shifts are an essential part of his setups. The system has three parts:
• A valid break of a key level (BOS)
• A retrace into liquidity
• Entry at the refined level to ride the reversal
This approach ensures we get the optimal entry after fuel is taken, letting us ride the trade longer with clearer invalidation and better RR.
“There’s no MTF or HTF candles closing above key PSH, so you don’t long here. For the highest probability long it’s the squiggle on the chart, with MTF (at least) close above key PSH plus pullback (the entry) before bullish continuation.” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1792…
“All “squiggles” mean the strategy is to wait for close above or below HTF key levels as stage 1 of 3, pullback or retracement into key levels if you can find them, and most of the time you can because bots always leave such levels with fuel behind, to come back later and reverse price again as stage 2 of 3 and this is your entry, and then continuation into the direction of the first move, stage 3. This is how these liquidity games work.”
teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1775…
Breakout trading is popular, but charts like the one below, and the effectiveness of squiggles, show its weakness clearly.
“You can always choose to long the breakout, but this isn’t going for high probability as it’s what all retail traders do, and the game’s designed to stop or liquidate them all, collecting fuel, and then proceed in the direction retail traders expected, which will then make them start revenge trading as they were ‘right but wrong’.”
-------
- Using Liquidity as a Guide
Market makers leave footprints that help us assign probabilities to the next move. Liquidity is key. When key levels are left behind and price action approaches a level without taking the liquidity first, chances are high, it will revisit to grab that fuel before continuing.
“A helpful hint to determine if a breakout will reverse into a key level before trend continuation is to check if there’s a key level left behind in the previous range that price is attempting to break out from. If the key level is present, especially on HTF and you can refine it into lower timeframes, the probability of a pullback into that level before continuation becomes significant, as price tends to gravitate toward such levels. Additionally, if there’s a key level above the swing high that can be taken, it could act as fuel for a drop into the lower level, setting up for a subsequent pump.” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1843…
Alternatively, when no such levels exist, the probability is higher that the breakout/down is real and price action will continue in the direction.
“If you cannot find such, the probability for breakout into price discovery, without looking back for a while, is higher.” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1854…
-------
- Confirming a BOS
In general, higher timeframe structures need higher timeframe confirmations. Use timeframes relevant to the trade. For higher timeframe levels MT often looks for closures 12h or higher. Further HTF closures add confluence and reinforce the likelihood the break is real.
Always watch for body closes above or below the swing high or swing low.
(📈 in comments)
Without a confirmed BOS, we risk falling for fake moves. A confirmed BOS marks clearer intent. Wait for the signal, place orders where the fuel sits, and ride the continuation.
🔺Lately, more HTF closes have resulted in reversals. Market makers are aware that retail is looking at daily closes.
“Don’t fall for false moves. Learn to identify confirmed BOS on HTF and you will level up instantly.”
(📈 in comments)
There’s no single timeframe that automatically invalidates every setup. The last five minutes of a HTF candle can close below a level without any real prior price action in that area. Zoom in on lower timeframes and check what’s happening. Look for signs of strength or weakness to support your decision. Stay flexible and weigh all factors.
Things to consider:
• How optimal is the level?
• Where is the level located?
• Is the asset high volume?
• What are majors doing?
• How does price behave around the level?
• Are newly formed LTF structures being respected?
• Is there spoofing?
• What is order flow showing?
MT has posts calling for 12H+ closes to confirm or reject a level; others rely on 2H. This is closer to an art than a rule, an edge that only comes through screen time and real experience.
“Take notes on this PA, because it will change your game. You can go through timeframes up until 2H and you will notice there’s no candle bodies closing below the level where the 2D BB is at. The hint is there. From here I’ll wait for key SH or SL to be taken and find an entry on pullback or retracement. 0 candle bodies closed below 2D BB. Body, not whisker. At least a 2H full body, specifically for SOL as it’s a high TV coin.” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1843…
-------
- Timeframes
Moneytaur has his own definitions of timeframes. You can either adopt his schematics or come up with definitions that are a better fit for you.
“micro TF: 5min and lower
LTF: 15min > 2H
MTF: 2H > 12H
HTF: 12H > M+” teapaw.org/Moneytaur_/status/1806…
HTF (12h+)
• Hold the most liquidity and are the most reliable.
• The higher the TF, the clearer the signal of the predominant trend.
• 1W+ are macro timeframes.
• HTF plays = up to 3% of trading account, max 5% if optimal.
MTF (2h–12h)
• First reliable validations of BOS, CHoCH, BOMS.
• Key for refining levels.
• MTF plays = up to 2% of trading account.
LTF (5m–2h)
• Super-refined entries, exits, and stops.
• First possible signs of BOS, CHoCH, BOMS.
• Less reliable as they hold less liquidity.
• LTF plays = up to 1% of trading account.
mTF (<5m)
• Ultra-refined entries, exits, and stops.
• Entries or exits based on micro structure reactions to key levels.
“In micro timeframes, you can better see when a price reversal is likely, since the ⚡️ at key levels is a powerful sign of that. If you spend time in those timeframes when the price is reaching key levels where you expect a reaction, you’ll start to notice a pattern and better understand whether a reversal can actually occur or if the reaction is too weak. As for the ‘ping-pong’ at key levels, it’s the same, but weaker than in lower timeframes and harder to read, since you don’t see proper candle bodies, so you just have to get used to it.”
📝Note on Timeframes and TradingView
• TradingView anchors all intraday timeframes to the daily close.
• Timeframes that do not evenly divide into 24h will produce one partial candle at the end of each daily session.
• This shorter candle is always the last candle before the session reset at 00:00 UTC.
• So a 23h candle is 1 x 23h + 1 x 1h candle. When trading a 23h level, the chance is high that you are in reality taking a trade based off a 1h hOB.
Wisdom from the elite! Be a 🧽
Here's a fun fact:
When I sent this message to the lads, I saw exactly what I wanted on USDT.D. The reaction was perfect. Check the chart time and level on the 5-15s chart.
You get a key level (explained in a short video to the lads), the expected reaction, and your LOs hit. But then, hours of waiting for confirmation, the level gets retested, and doubts creep in:
- What if the level doesn’t hold?
- What if it wicks me out and reverses?
- What if I’m wrong?
- What if I lose again?
The internal battle is relentless—doubt, fear, frustration, even anger.
Winning trades aren’t simple or rosy, despite what many believe. Trading isn’t just entering and exiting. Big, shilling larps always seem to win big and buy new Lambos, right? 🙄
Here’s some real advice for traders:
Levels often get retested. If you don’t check confluences and map levels well, you’re in trouble. Understand PA (manipulation wicks, body closes, nearby key levels), use a stop loss, and wait. Waiting is the hardest part. Those doubts won’t bother you as much if you learn to lose, use proper sizing, and set a good stop loss. Know your invalidation and react calmly, never panic.
After Friday’s events, shaking off emotional baggage is key. It was intentional, and more will come. Those events will either make or break you. This is a game—follow the rules, stick to your plan, and move on. No room for sentiment. Tame your emotions for better results. Trust your plan.
If you panic, your plan sucks.

Wisdom from the Master
It doesn’t matter if you’re a trader, investor, or a mix of both. If you want to be profitable, you must:
1] Accurately identify the most powerful reversal levels. No FA on the planet will keep coins holding levels or mooning if real TA is confirming optimal bearish reversal levels. Whoever tells you otherwise simply doesn’t know how to make money in this game. Herd narratives don’t override liquidity mechanics.
2] Understand when multiple key levels have the potential to hit simultaneously. This is where high-probability reversals happen. When one level hits, it can create a reaction. When several optimal key levels align, it can trigger a major shift.
Liquidity, momentum, and positioning all converge at these moments. Miss them, and you’re just chasing after what’s already gone.
3] Assess the probability of a reversal based on the dots you’re connecting. It’s not about guessing -- it’s about reading the clues the market leaves behind.
How many key levels align?
What liquidity has been taken?
Are whales positioned for a move?
The more confirmations you stack, the higher the probability of catching the reversal.
Those who connect the dots win and those who don’t become liquidity.
4] Ignore ALL herd-like metrics, lagging indicators, and especially their consensus -- because when it truly matters, they will be wrong every single time.
They live in an illusion -- celebrating temporary paper gains, only to pay it all back [and more] every few months.
Why?
- Because they lack the right knowledge and don’t possess the critical and analytical thinking required to find the right answers in this game. The market isn’t designed to reward the herd, but to drain them over several months to years.
By now, you’ve probably noticed that the majority of investors in this space struggle even with the basics of connecting dots. Why?
- Because their minds are in analysis-paralysis, overloaded with garbage information that blinds them from seeing what actually matters. It’s not that everyone is completely braindead, but let’s be honest, many are.
The real issue?
- They’re letting the biggest masters of deception in this game -- from the highest levels of the pyramid down to the bottom, dictate their strategies. Instead of learning, thinking, and executing for themselves, they blindly follow those who profit from their ignorance. And that’s exactly why they keep losing.
If you look closely, even the most followed and "respected" accounts in this space are very often wrong, especially when it matters most. So, why do they keep being heard?
It’s not about accuracy -- it’s about influence. If it was about accuracy and winning against whales, i and some of my followers would be the most looked at accounts in the world. The herd doesn’t follow truth, they follow who shouts what they want to hear the loudest, even if that’s the very reason they lose everything. They don’t seek true wisdom, they seek comfort. And comfort in this game is the quickest path to destruction.

The reality and very sad truth of what this level of manipulation does to people. Disgusting. I don’t know how they sleep at night.
You'll never see the data showing how many people ended their lives after the latest flash crash.
This isn't some investing game. It's a field where dreams, sanity, and entire lives are at stake.
This game will end many people's lives, but not before it takes every dollar they own.

Beeple is that friend everyone mocks as a 'nerd' while he's actually warning to save their lives. Because his narrative doesn't fit the delusion they want reality to bend into, they dismiss him with 'he just posts weird images'
Meanwhile, he dropped the 'ETH rising again' post at the exact bottom before ATH test, and then posted 'TOP SIGNAL' at the exact top before another aggressive bearish reversal.
Why is Eric Trump getting praised for a trash ETH call, while no one’s mentioning Beeple’s perfectly timed bottom call?
It comes down to narrative control, influence bias, and agenda alignment. Accuracy rarely wins over influence in the short term, but the receipts always speak louder in the long run.
