12-Month WIN STREAK With This Strategy (Simple) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00In this video, I'm going to expose the
2. 0:02strategy or framework that's responsible
3. 0:05for repeatable five-figure months in
4. 0:08terms of payouts. And it's the exact
5. 0:10process that differentiates the traders
6. 0:12who keep blowing accounts from the ones
7. 0:14that are consistently pulling payouts.
8. 0:17Now, there are four layers that decide
9. 0:20whether a trade works or not. And the
10. 0:22traders bleeding accounts every week are
11. 0:24usually only reading one of them. So, in
12. 0:27this video, I'm going to walk you
13. 0:28through all four. And the end of it,
14. 0:30you'll be able to implement the exact
15. 0:32process that I use every single day to
16. 0:34pull thousands of dollars in payouts
17. 0:36from prop firms. So, let's get into it.
18. 0:39Now, the first layer or layer one is
19. 0:41environment. For 2 years, I'd open up my
20. 0:44platform, I would watch a candle do
21. 0:46something, and I would take the trade.
22. 0:48No real structure, no real plan, no idea
23. 0:51on where we actually were in terms of
24. 0:54the bigger picture. And that right there
25. 0:56was the whole problem. Before I think
26. 0:58about an entry now, I'm not asking,
27. 1:00"What setup is this?" I'm asking, "What
28. 1:03environment am I trading in right now?
29. 1:05Are we expanding or compressing? Are we
30. 1:08trending, rotating, or chopping? And
31. 1:11where's the higher time frame draw for
32. 1:13the day? Did price just sweep a
33. 1:15meaningful level or are we stuck in
34. 1:18balance with no real edge?" Because the
35. 1:20market is an auction. Price is
36. 1:22constantly moving to facilitate trade,
37. 1:24find liquidity, discover value, and
38. 1:27resolve imbalance. And if I don't know
39. 1:30what the auction is trying to resolve,
40. 1:32then my entry is basically a guess.
41. 1:34Because a good footprint entry in the
42. 1:37wrong environment is still a bad trade.
43. 1:40Now, let's take a quick break to talk
44. 1:41about the sponsor of this video, Prop
45. 1:43Firm Match. If you trade prop firms, you
46. 1:46already know how confusing it can get.
47. 1:48There's different prop firms, there's
48. 1:49different challenges, there's different
49. 1:51rules, and a lot of conflicting
50. 1:53information. Prop Firm Match simplifies
51. 1:55all that by putting everything in one
52. 1:57platform. They have comparison tools so
53. 1:59you can compare prop firms side by side
54. 2:02or even challenges side by side where it
55. 2:04even lays out all the rules for you to
56. 2:05see, so you know exactly what you're
57. 2:07going to be spending your money on or
58. 2:09what you should be buying before
59. 2:10committing any of your money to
60. 2:11anything. You can review the rules side
61. 2:13by side and see which prop firms are
62. 2:15actually popular by reading some of the
63. 2:17reviews from other traders just like
64. 2:19yourself, so you don't have to go and
65. 2:21spend any time digging through all these
66. 2:23different websites. So instead of
67. 2:25guessing or hoping that you pick the
68. 2:26right prop firm or the right challenge,
69. 2:28you can make a decision with everything
70. 2:30laid out in one place. If you want to
71. 2:32use Prop Firm Match, there's a link in
72. 2:34the description and in the pinned
73. 2:35comment, and make sure to check out
74. 2:37their exclusive offers so you get the
75. 2:39best deal on any of these prop firms by
76. 2:41using code match. Now, let's get back
77. 2:43into the video. Layer two is location.
78. 2:46This is probably the layer that fixed
79. 2:48the most damage in my trading because
80. 2:51the mistake I used to make was simple. I
81. 2:53would get the direction right. I would
82. 2:54know that the market was probably going
83. 2:56higher and I would just manage to still
84. 2:59buy the absolute worst spot. I would buy
85. 3:01premium, I would chase expansion, and I
86. 3:04would enter where the auction was
87. 3:06already stretched right before it needed
88. 3:08to rebalance. Correct bias, terrible
89. 3:11location. And this is how you lose money
90. 3:13while being right. Now, I'm looking for
91. 3:16price to come into a real decision zone
92. 3:18or real location. And for me, that
93. 3:21usually means premium or discount
94. 3:23relative to the active range. Especially
95. 3:25with fib levels that I use such as the
96. 3:28705 or the 788 or the 886. And that zone
97. 3:32is basically the golden pocket and it's
98. 3:34how I model premium and discount
99. 3:36relative to the active range and
100. 3:38relative to value, but it's not some
101. 3:41magic universal level. If I'm bullish, I
102. 3:44don't want to buy just because price is
103. 3:46going up. I want price to pull back into
104. 3:48discount, potentially take out lower
105. 3:50time frame structure or internal
106. 3:53structure and give me a reason to
107. 3:55participate from a better location. If
108. 3:57I'm bearish, I want the opposite. I want
109. 3:59price trading into premium and not
110. 4:02selling randomly in the middle of a
111. 4:04range. And location is what separates
112. 4:06real opportunity from essentially just
113. 4:09chasing. But here's the part that most
114. 4:11traders miss. A level or location itself
115. 4:14is not a trade. We can all watch price
116. 4:16tap into zones or tap into location and
117. 4:19price can just completely run through
118. 4:21it. So, once I have environment and I
119. 4:23understand potential location, I still
120. 4:26need to know how the sessions are
121. 4:27actually behaving. And that's layer
122. 4:29three. Layer three is path. This is the
123. 4:32part that makes the trade fit for the
124. 4:34day. Because in my framework, sessions
125. 4:37are a very big thing in what I actually
126. 4:39look at. Asia session, London session,
127. 4:42New York session. Because in my
128. 4:43framework, Asia session, London session,
129. 4:46and New York session tend to play
130. 4:48different roles in the auction. Asia
131. 4:50might typically build the initial range
132. 4:53or balance for the day. And then London
133. 4:55will often probe or manipulate or expand
134. 4:59away from that Asia structure. And New
135. 5:02York is where the auction often will
136. 5:05resolve the main move of the morning
137. 5:07once participation and volume and intent
138. 5:10actually begin to come online. So, I'm
139. 5:13not just asking, are we at a level? I'm
140. 5:15asking, does the path of the day
141. 5:17actually make sense? Did London take one
142. 5:20side of Asia? Did it take both sides of
143. 5:22Asia? Did the pre-market already
144. 5:24complete the move? And are we coming
145. 5:26into New York with an actual objective
146. 5:29still being available? Or did the move
147. 5:32already happen before the open? But this
148. 5:34is also where gamma or gex levels come
149. 5:37into my process. Not as an entry signal
150. 5:40and not necessarily as a strategy in
151. 5:42itself, but as context. Because gamma
152. 5:45helps me understand the type of
153. 5:47environment that I'm likely trading
154. 5:49inside. If we're operating in a positive
155. 5:51gamma environment, baseline expectations
156. 5:54could be potential rotation or chop or
157. 5:57pinning around major strikes or levels
158. 6:00and less follow-through. If we're
159. 6:01operating in negative gamma
160. 6:03environments, the potential baseline
161. 6:05expectation could be larger ranges, more
162. 6:09expansion, faster expansion, or cleaner
163. 6:11directional movement once imbalance
164. 6:14appears. Now, the important thing to
165. 6:16note is that the market doesn't have to
166. 6:18do those things. It doesn't guarantee
167. 6:20what the market's going to do
168. 6:21necessarily. They're just baseline
169. 6:23expectations. They're not predictions,
170. 6:25but they help me understand how the
171. 6:28auction might likely be behaving before
172. 6:31I ever look for an entry. So, now I'm
173. 6:34looking at session path and the gamma
174. 6:37environment. Because the same location
175. 6:40can mean very different things depending
176. 6:42on the given day. A discount zone during
177. 6:45a negative gamma environment with the
178. 6:47proper conditions might give me more
179. 6:50room for expansion. The same discount
180. 6:52zone during a positive gamma environment
181. 6:55or specific conditions might potentially
182. 6:58lead to more rotational behavior or
183. 7:00slower movement. This matters because
184. 7:02the same location can mean different
185. 7:05things depending on the session path and
186. 7:07the broader environment of the market.
187. 7:09So, if Asia builds balance, London goes
188. 7:12and sweeps one side, and New York opens
189. 7:14up into my discount zone while the
190. 7:17higher time frame draw is still higher,
191. 7:20that gives me a very different read than
192. 7:22a day where every session is rotating
193. 7:24sideways and volume and participation
194. 7:27really isn't there. And for my playbook,
195. 7:29the second type of day is usually uh no
196. 7:32trade type of day or no trade type of
197. 7:34environment because that is where I used
198. 7:36to get hurt. I would see level, I would
199. 7:38ignore session context, I would ignore
200. 7:40the environment, I would force a trade,
201. 7:43and then I'd wonder why the market
202. 7:44chopped me up. I need the path to
203. 7:46support the trade idea. Environment
204. 7:48gives me direction, location gives me
205. 7:51area, and path gives me the session and
206. 7:53expected behavior. But even then, I
207. 7:55still don't click or I don't just take
208. 7:57the trade because the final layer is the
209. 8:00one that tells me whether the market is
210. 8:02actually confirming my idea or that idea
211. 8:05in real-time. The final layer or layer
212. 8:07four is confirmation. And this is where
213. 8:10order flow actually comes into play, but
214. 8:12it's also the part that most traders
215. 8:14completely misuse. Order flow itself is
216. 8:16not my strategy, and it is not a
217. 8:18strategy. Order flow doesn't give me
218. 8:20random trades, what it's doing is it's
219. 8:23confirming whether the auction is
220. 8:25actually responding at a location that I
221. 8:28already identified prior. So, once price
222. 8:31actually gets into my zone, well, now
223. 8:33I'm watching order flow, I'm watching
224. 8:34the footprint chart. I want to see
225. 8:36what's actually happening in terms of
226. 8:38sellers hitting bids into my discount
227. 8:41zone, for example. And if absorption is
228. 8:44actually showing up or being present in
229. 8:46location, sellers are aggressive, but
230. 8:48price isn't breaking down or they're not
231. 8:50getting rewarded with actual price
232. 8:52progression, then we may be witnessing
233. 8:55absorption showing up in location. And
234. 8:58then I'm watching for that pressure to
235. 8:59actually shift. Does delta flip? Are
236. 9:02there responsive buyers in this area
237. 9:04that start shifting dominance back
238. 9:06towards the upside? And are we getting
239. 9:09aggressive imbalances back in the
240. 9:11direction of my trade? And then I'm
241. 9:13looking at, does the next candle pull
242. 9:16back into my confirmation candle that
243. 9:18told me that this location was
244. 9:19potentially valid? And does it give me
245. 9:21an actual entry, whether it's a pullback
246. 9:23to the POC, to a low volume node, to an
247. 9:26imbalance? And that's the trade, not
248. 9:29because the candle looked good, and not
249. 9:30just because a level got touched, but
250. 9:32it's because the four layers lined up.
251. 9:35Environment, location, path, and
252. 9:38confirmation. And if one of those are
253. 9:39missing, then I don't take a trade. And
254. 9:42honestly, some of my best days are the
255. 9:45days where I'm truly on top of what I
256. 9:48should be doing, those are days where I
257. 9:50do absolutely nothing. Because forcing
258. 9:53trades when one of those layers are
259. 9:55missing is exactly how I used to just
260. 9:57blow up all of my accounts. So, for 2
261. 10:00years, I didn't have this. I had a bunch
262. 10:02of random concepts and a gambling
263. 10:05problem that was basically just dressed
264. 10:07up as trading. And I used to refuse to
265. 10:10end red on the day or felt like when I
266. 10:12wasn't taking a trade that I was doing
267. 10:14something wrong or that I should be
268. 10:16participating all the time. And I used
269. 10:19to just keep taking trades because I
270. 10:21refused to end the day red and I needed
271. 10:23to make that money back. But, the market
272. 10:25doesn't care if you're frustrated. It
273. 10:27just keeps offering you another chance
274. 10:29to make a worse decision. And that cost
275. 10:32me money, accounts, time, confidence.
276. 10:36And it eventually got to the point where
277. 10:38I was like rock bottom where I woke up
278. 10:42every day just to lose money, blowing
279. 10:45accounts every single day, two accounts,
280. 10:47three accounts, four accounts in a
281. 10:48single session, not even copy trading
282. 10:50them. Trading them individually, blowing
283. 10:52them back-to-back. And I knew something
284. 10:55had to change. And the change was not
285. 10:58magically being more disciplined or
286. 11:00following my rules. I was the same
287. 11:03person. I just stopped trading one layer
288. 11:06of information. I stopped reacting to
289. 11:09one candle or a collection of a couple
290. 11:11candles, and I started reading the full
291. 11:14auction. Environment, location, path,
292. 11:17confirmation. That is the order, and
293. 11:20it's the filter. And it's what finally
294. 11:22made my trading feel structured instead
295. 11:25of random. And out of all four of those
296. 11:28layers, the one that typically wrecks
297. 11:30traders the most is location because
298. 11:34getting the direction right and still
299. 11:36entering from the wrong spot is one of
300. 11:39the most frustrating ways to lose and it
301. 11:41typically causes tilt for a lot of
302. 11:43traders. So, in the next video, I'll
303. 11:45show you exactly how I define premium
304. 11:48and discount and why my version of it is
305. 11:50slightly different from the basic one
306. 11:53that most traders copied off the
307. 11:55internet. So, I'll see you guys there.
