I came to trading with a background in mathematics and years of IT experience. My main focus is simplifying the understanding of price movement through clear visual logic.
Over time, I explored various trading approaches — from oscillators and channels to Dow Theory, Elliott Waves, Fibonacci levels, volume spread analysis (VSA), market auction theory, and ICT/Smart Money Concepts.
What I found challenging in many methods was the high level of subjectivity — from how trends are defined to how signals are interpreted. This often made the decision-making process unclear and inconsistent. This led me to search for a more objective and structured approach. Inspired by this, I developed the Initiative Analysis (IA) concept.
IA is based on the idea that price is driven by the interaction between two forces — the Buyer (a collective image of all buyers) and the Seller (a collective image of all sellers). All analysis is built around their dynamic balance, creating a visual and structured framework where both sides are equally important.
My current approach combines elements from VSA, Dow Theory, and supply & demand principles into a comprehensive toolkit — helping traders see the context, reduce guesswork, and focus on actionable structure.
Initiative Analysis (IA) is a visual market analysis concept built on the idea that all price movement is driven by two opposing forces — the Buyer and the Seller. Instead of relying on lagging indicators or subjective interpretations, IA focuses on clear price zones, directional moves, and the ongoing battle between supply and demand.
IA identifies market initiatives — phases where either buyers or sellers take control — and marks them on the chart with easy-to-read visual cues. This helps traders quickly understand who currently dominates the market, where key levels are forming, and what price targets are likely.
The goal of IA is to simplify the decision-making process while preserving depth of context. It offers a structured yet flexible view of market dynamics — suitable for both trend trading and range-based strategies.
If you're looking for a clear, objective, and visual approach to trading and investing — IA can be your foundation.
