Manifest Your Trades
Last month, I spoke about the ‘Fear of Missing Out’ – FOMO. It’s an interesting topic because FOMO comes from a place of negativity and scarcity, which is a terrible mindset when it comes to trading. But what if you flipped the narrative? What if you came from a place of abundance? Maybe then you’d start to see more good trading opportunities and fewer bad ones.
Can you manifest your own trading opportunities? I know – manifestation can sound a bit woo-woo at times, but maybe it’s worth a try. It’s something I’ve been reading more about lately, and I’ve particularly enjoyed the work of Joe Dispenza.
The 14 February SPI200 top at 8581 was a perfect example of a great trading opportunity – the type of market I’d like to see more of.
A Quick Recap of the Setup:
- There was a failure at the 50% level of the monthly swing chart.
- A repeating weekly swing range led into a false break double top.
- Multiple repeating ranges and major milestones came together to create a tight price cluster.
Chart 1
The move that followed was strong and clean, down to 150% of the Double Top before we saw a weekly pullback.
Chart 2
Then we witnessed a second leg down that repeated 100% before the market bounced strongly back up to the old tops.

Honestly, I’d like to have this kind of setup again, please! It doesn’t have to be in this market – any liquid, tradeable market would do!
I’m no expert on manifestation, but from what I’ve read, it seems the process is quite simple:
- Know what you’re looking for.
- Ask for it.
- See it and feel it happening.
- Allow it to happen.
Apparently, the clearer you are about what you want, the easier it is for the universe to deliver it. Why not visualise this type of trade every day and see it in your mind before it unfolds in real life? Maybe it’s worth a try – spend 10 to 15 minutes a day visualising the setup.
If you can’t picture the exact trade setup and entry type, that’s valuable feedback: it probably means you need to further clarify the kind of trade you’re aiming for. But if you can see it clearly in your mind’s eye, you can start asking for it to show up. Of course, you may not know when it will arrive – but the key is to trust that it will.
This is an exercise I’m starting today and will do every day for a month and report back in next month’s article.
Here are the steps I’m going to take:
- Write down the exact setup I want to see – be as detailed as possible, without overcomplicating it.
- Write down the exact entry type I’d like to take from this setup.
- Visualise myself identifying the setup, tracking it for a few days as it develops, and seeing more milestones adding to the cluster.
- Feel how it feels to take the entry – feel the ease, the confidence, and the market moving in my favour as my reward-to-risk ratio improves.
- See myself taking profits – and feel what it feels like to capture a cracking winning trade or campaign.
