ICYMI: The Trade Travel Chill Weekly Recap

Captain’s Log ✍
Did you keep up with Annii’s TA this week? Here’s a quick recap. ✅
- On Thursday, Annii gave a live-action lesson on the rule that if UK does not break the Asia range, the US WILL reverse the trend. The result? A 7:1 risk-reward trade done and dusted in under 30 mins. 💥
- Annii started the week by analysing Bitcoin’s August close and preparing for the seasonally bearish September. She emphasised the importance of being “Bitcoin heavy” and warned of further shakeouts for altcoins.
- Mid-week, she gave us a pep talk and addressed the widespread pessimism in the market. She shared strategies to hedge altcoin losses using Bitcoin futures, and explained the significance of a descending broadening wedge pattern that is getting our spidey-senses tingling about a major breakout on the horizon.
There is always a calm before the storm, and this is the calm. Whilst it’s boring the life out of us, I have some data to show you that giving up right now is possibly the worst decision anyone could make.

🌦️Weather Report
- September is historically the worst month for US stocks and Bitcoin. Awesome. 😒 Here’s the key events that Jarrid’s expecting to move the market over the next few weeks:
Wed, Sep 11 — US CPI Inflation Data
Thurs, Sep 12 — US PPI Inflation Data
Tues, Sep 17 — major negative astro: lunar eclipse
Wed, Sep 18 — FOMC Meeting – expected rate cut and VIX Expirations
Thurs, Sep 19 — tentative Bank of Japan rate decision
Mon, Sep 30 — US Government shutdown deadline - He also took a dive into global deleveraging, U.S. Fed rate cut expectations, capital rotations from tech to defensive assets and September’s seasonal volatility.
- So historically, when in September does BTC usually hit its monthly low? Jarrid explores that question here.
There are no coincidences… Fed’s rate decision, VIXpiration & Trump’s prison sentencing all scheduled on September 18th? Be prepared for volatility!

Method Deep Dives 🤿
As always, Cajun’s community hangout brought the goods. This week he:
- Interpreted weekend price action, identifying FMWB.
- Recapped counting levels between different timeframes.
- Explained trapping volume formations (TVF).
- Touched on cumulative volume delta (CVD) and teased a dedicated hangout.
In a nutshell, CVD is about gauging buying and selling pressure. Interpreting CVD involves tracking multiple aspects to determine where and why the selling pressure occurs. If there’s interest, we can make this a full topic for a future hangout.
— Cajun Spice
It’s so helpful to revisit the weeks’ PA with Cody and the benefit of hindsight! This week he:
- Revisited and refined the level counts.
- Demonstrated the ribbon strategy for the weeks’ entries.
- Recapped where Annii’s Asia to UK strategy did and didn’t apply.
- Showcased the VWAP and RSI scalp strategies in the context of the week’s PA.
The problem with making money counter-trend trading is it teaches you that going against the market maker model is a good strategy. It worked out here, but overall, it’s not a good habit to take those sorts of trades.

SilverWolf Alpha 🐺
Mr Wolf had a busy week sharing his thoughts on:
- The long term fundamentals of ETH.
- The medium term outlook for Bitcoin: September Crypto Market Outlook: Will Bitcoin Finally Break the Trend?
- Reviews of Cosmos ($ATOM) (available on the TTC website), Algorand ($ALGO), Hedera Hashgraph ($HBAR) and ThorChain ($RUNE).
- Real-time technical analysis on Storj ($STORJ), Arweave ($AR), Binance Coin ($BNB)

Vitalik also got bills to pay. If he is selling ETH, it doesn’t mean a lack of belief in Ethereum.

📈 Pro Results
Did you see Cajun’s different kind of “pro-result”? He talks about tracking trades with one of his coaching clients, achieving 140% account growth in August despite “only” winning 15 of 26 trades. The takeaway: sticking to the model and focusing on high-quality setups can yield significant results, even in challenging market conditions. Nice one guys!
Influencers who tell you that you’ll get wrecked trading this market say this because they cannot trade themselves. They live off referral commissions from your trades. This is the month of August trade results from one of my pro traders at TTC. He’s a TTC coach and runs live sessions for our private members as well. He started as a TTC member, learned from scratch just like everyone else and now he’s a pro trader on my team. Go Caje, proud of you ✈️

🔮 Manifestation
Thank you, Coach Cat for reminding us of these words of wisdom from Annii:
Make it specific, guys! The best way to manifest is to get really deep, really descriptive and give your dreams a timeline & a purpose! For example: if your dream is income related then, specifically what annual income do you want and by when do you want to have achieved it e.g. By Dec 2025 I will be earning $100,000 USD per year and this will allow me to take care of my family as well as take one overseas trip per year – something like that! The what, the why and the when…. then you leave the “how” to the angels to work out (or whoever you believe in) ❤️ Vision boards are also awesome!
