  29. 0:52so let's show you how to get 20 pips out
  30. 0:55of the market every single day
  31. 0:56okay so right now i am looking at euro
  32. 0:58usd on a 15 minute time frame
  33. 1:01before we get into exactly where to
  34. 1:05enter
  35. 1:05and exit to get your 20 pips we need to
  36. 1:08look
  37. 1:08at your account size and see how much
  38. 1:11money you need to make
  39. 1:12in order for this 20 pip thing to work
  40. 1:15for you so this is
  41. 1:16simply like a breakdown of typical
  42. 1:19account sizes 100
  43. 1:20account size 1 000 account size and 10
  44. 1:23000
  45. 1:23account size with proper risk management
  46. 1:26only risking
  47. 1:27two percent per trade so with your risk
  48. 1:30at two percent you're only willing to
  49. 1:32lose two hundred dollars
  50. 1:34per trade twenty dollars and two dollars
  51. 1:37depending on your account size
  52. 1:38with your profit goal being a minimum of
  53. 1:41two to one so we're looking at a minimum
  54. 1:44of four percent right here so these are
  55. 1:46your profit figures for each account
  56. 1:48size you have four hundred dollars forty
  57. 1:50dollars and four dollars
  58. 1:51so depending on how much you actually
  59. 1:53want to
  60. 1:54make per day or if this is just a slow
  61. 1:57growth thing i mean eventually this
  62. 1:59hundred dollar
  63. 2:00account with four percent profit goals
  64. 2:03per trade will eventually get higher
  65. 2:05and you'll be making more money this is
  66. 2:07the way that you should be trading
  67. 2:09not like i mentioned in my previous
  68. 2:11video how to grow a small account
  69. 2:12ridiculously fast
  70. 2:14so using these figures you need to
  71. 2:16determine what lot size your trade needs
  72. 2:18to be
  73. 2:19in order for that 20 pips to hit your
  74. 2:22profit level so i've linked this website
  75. 2:25down below it's just
  76. 2:27forextime.com but essentially they have
  77. 2:29this calculator on here so
  78. 2:31you enter your pip amount the currency
  79. 2:33pair that you're trading
  80. 2:34and then the deposit currency so
  81. 2:36whatever currency your account's in
  82. 2:38whether it's euro or gbp or usd
  83. 2:40so you select that and you adjust your
  84. 2:42lot size
  85. 2:43to hit your profit number so for that
  86. 2:46trade on a 10 000
  87. 2:47account for 20 pips you want a profit of
  88. 2:50400
  89. 2:50so your lot size needs to be two and
  90. 2:53again with proper risk management as
  91. 2:55that
  92. 2:55trade is going in the opposite direction
  93. 2:57that you expected
  94. 2:59you cut your losses at two hundred
  95. 3:01dollars because you're only risking two
  96. 3:03percent per trade
  97. 3:04so use this calculator take a screenshot
  98. 3:06of this so that you can know
  99. 3:08how to properly risk manage yourself now
  100. 3:11looking at euro usd you can see that
  101. 3:14there's 20 pip moves all over the place
  102. 3:17for example this would be a 20 pip move
  103. 3:20so let's zoom in a little bit closer and
  104. 3:22show you what 20 pips actually looks
  105. 3:24like
  106. 3:25using the measuring tool on the left
  107. 3:26hand side let's draw this down
  108. 3:29and boom that little nugget right there
  109. 3:32i gotta really zoom this in for you guys
  110. 3:34to see it this little nugget
  111. 3:36right here is
  112. 3:4020 pips that amount of space right there
  113. 3:4220 pips
  114. 3:43so you can see how easy that is to get
  115. 3:45out of the market it is a very small
  116. 3:47move
  117. 3:48in the big scheme of things so i've
  118. 3:50drawn a 20 pip
  119. 3:52box and now we can see how this works in
  120. 3:55our day trading strategies
  121. 3:57so again 15 minute chart i'm gonna
  122. 3:59adjust the settings on this chart really
  123. 4:01quick to show
  124. 4:02something really interesting it's not
  125. 4:04interesting it's just nice tool to have
  126. 4:06when you go to your chart settings in
  127. 4:07the fourth option down in appearance
  128. 4:10there's this little thingy right here
  129. 4:11that says session breaks
  130. 4:13if you click that you will see every
  131. 4:16single
  132. 4:16new day of trading you can see how much
  133. 4:19the price moves
  134. 4:20in a single day and how small this
  135. 4:23little nugget is
  136. 4:24see 20 pips huge movement throughout the
  137. 4:27day every single day has over a 20 pip
  138. 4:30movement
  139. 4:31so how do you capitalize and actually
  140. 4:33find that movement for the day
  141. 4:35that's right you overlay indicators on
  142. 4:37your chart so if you
  143. 4:38keep your trading view platform at this
  144. 4:41view
  145. 4:42you kind of get a bigger scope of what's
  146. 4:44going on in the market
  147. 4:45you're still on a 15 minute time frame
  148. 4:48but you can see the nice ebb
  149. 4:50and flow of the market and if you've
  150. 4:52watched my videos
  151. 4:53on moving average trading whether it's a
  152. 4:56crossover
  153. 4:57whether it's the support and resistance
  154. 4:58whether it's continuation of the
  155. 5:00momentum on that downside or
  156. 5:03upside you can see where your entry
  157. 5:06points are
  158. 5:07so say for example on this weird day
  159. 5:09like you
  160. 5:10don't really know where to get in unless
  161. 5:12you have moving averages on there
  162. 5:14so the day started and it started to go
  163. 5:17down so you saw the price crossing down
  164. 5:19through the moving average but you
  165. 5:20didn't get on a short position
  166. 5:22because the previous day you see this
  167. 5:24swoop up so you're seeing
  168. 5:26bullish momentum so why would you get in
  169. 5:28on a short position
  170. 5:30so just be patient and wait and it
  171. 5:33crossed through it again and you're like
  172. 5:34cool that confirms the
  173. 5:36theory that i had that we're having
  174. 5:37bullish momentum
  175. 5:39so we're above moving averages now
  176. 5:42creating support
  177. 5:43get in on your trade and you got your 20
  178. 5:46pips no problem
  179. 5:47if you want specific sniper entries for
  180. 5:50your trades i have a strategy
  181. 5:53that i've made a video on right here i
  182. 5:56didn't invent this strategy i just know
  183. 5:58a lot about day trading
  184. 5:59so watch this video if you want perfect
  185. 6:02entries
  186. 6:02it doesn't happen every day but it
  187. 6:04happens consistently and they are
  188. 6:06very very tight stop-loss trades
  189. 6:09with high profit ranges so to sum it all
  190. 6:12up
  191. 6:12you need to figure out what account size
  192. 6:15you're starting with or what account
  193. 6:16size you have now
  194. 6:18how many lots you need to trade whether
  195. 6:21they're micro lots or
  196. 6:22standard lots use the calculator that i
  197. 6:25showed you guys earlier
  198. 6:26and figure out how much you need to make
  199. 6:30in one trade over trading doing 30 40 50
  200. 6:33positions a day
  201. 6:34is completely reckless it's better for
  202. 6:37you to get your 20 pips in one trade
  203. 6:40and walk away for the day like you've
  204. 6:41had a successful day
  205. 6:43okay bye bye say the next day you lose
  206. 6:46with the one to two risk to reward ratio
  207. 6:49you could afford to lose
  208. 6:50two days in a row and still be break
  209. 6:53even if you win the third day that's the
  210. 6:56power of proper risk management
  211. 6:58so i have a plethora of videos on moving
  212. 7:01average crossovers
  213. 7:02how to trade different strategies every
  214. 7:05single one of them work
  215. 7:06if they are implemented at the correct
  216. 7:08time frame
