- 0:52so let's show you how to get 20 pips out
- 0:55of the market every single day
- 0:56okay so right now i am looking at euro
- 0:58usd on a 15 minute time frame
- 1:01before we get into exactly where to
- 1:05enter
- 1:05and exit to get your 20 pips we need to
- 1:08look
- 1:08at your account size and see how much
- 1:11money you need to make
- 1:12in order for this 20 pip thing to work
- 1:15for you so this is
- 1:16simply like a breakdown of typical
- 1:19account sizes 100
- 1:20account size 1 000 account size and 10
- 1:23000
- 1:23account size with proper risk management
- 1:26only risking
- 1:27two percent per trade so with your risk
- 1:30at two percent you're only willing to
- 1:32lose two hundred dollars
- 1:34per trade twenty dollars and two dollars
- 1:37depending on your account size
- 1:38with your profit goal being a minimum of
- 1:41two to one so we're looking at a minimum
- 1:44of four percent right here so these are
- 1:46your profit figures for each account
- 1:48size you have four hundred dollars forty
- 1:50dollars and four dollars
- 1:51so depending on how much you actually
- 1:53want to
- 1:54make per day or if this is just a slow
- 1:57growth thing i mean eventually this
- 1:59hundred dollar
- 2:00account with four percent profit goals
- 2:03per trade will eventually get higher
- 2:05and you'll be making more money this is
- 2:07the way that you should be trading
- 2:09not like i mentioned in my previous
- 2:11video how to grow a small account
- 2:12ridiculously fast
- 2:14so using these figures you need to
- 2:16determine what lot size your trade needs
- 2:18to be
- 2:19in order for that 20 pips to hit your
- 2:22profit level so i've linked this website
- 2:25down below it's just
- 2:27forextime.com but essentially they have
- 2:29this calculator on here so
- 2:31you enter your pip amount the currency
- 2:33pair that you're trading
- 2:34and then the deposit currency so
- 2:36whatever currency your account's in
- 2:38whether it's euro or gbp or usd
- 2:40so you select that and you adjust your
- 2:42lot size
- 2:43to hit your profit number so for that
- 2:46trade on a 10 000
- 2:47account for 20 pips you want a profit of
- 2:50400
- 2:50so your lot size needs to be two and
- 2:53again with proper risk management as
- 2:55that
- 2:55trade is going in the opposite direction
- 2:57that you expected
- 2:59you cut your losses at two hundred
- 3:01dollars because you're only risking two
- 3:03percent per trade
- 3:04so use this calculator take a screenshot
- 3:06of this so that you can know
- 3:08how to properly risk manage yourself now
- 3:11looking at euro usd you can see that
- 3:14there's 20 pip moves all over the place
- 3:17for example this would be a 20 pip move
- 3:20so let's zoom in a little bit closer and
- 3:22show you what 20 pips actually looks
- 3:24like
- 3:25using the measuring tool on the left
- 3:26hand side let's draw this down
- 3:29and boom that little nugget right there
- 3:32i gotta really zoom this in for you guys
- 3:34to see it this little nugget
- 3:36right here is
- 3:4020 pips that amount of space right there
- 3:4220 pips
- 3:43so you can see how easy that is to get
- 3:45out of the market it is a very small
- 3:47move
- 3:48in the big scheme of things so i've
- 3:50drawn a 20 pip
- 3:52box and now we can see how this works in
- 3:55our day trading strategies
- 3:57so again 15 minute chart i'm gonna
- 3:59adjust the settings on this chart really
- 4:01quick to show
- 4:02something really interesting it's not
- 4:04interesting it's just nice tool to have
- 4:06when you go to your chart settings in
- 4:07the fourth option down in appearance
- 4:10there's this little thingy right here
- 4:11that says session breaks
- 4:13if you click that you will see every
- 4:16single
- 4:16new day of trading you can see how much
- 4:19the price moves
- 4:20in a single day and how small this
- 4:23little nugget is
- 4:24see 20 pips huge movement throughout the
- 4:27day every single day has over a 20 pip
- 4:30movement
- 4:31so how do you capitalize and actually
- 4:33find that movement for the day
- 4:35that's right you overlay indicators on
- 4:37your chart so if you
- 4:38keep your trading view platform at this
- 4:41view
- 4:42you kind of get a bigger scope of what's
- 4:44going on in the market
- 4:45you're still on a 15 minute time frame
- 4:48but you can see the nice ebb
- 4:50and flow of the market and if you've
- 4:52watched my videos
- 4:53on moving average trading whether it's a
- 4:56crossover
- 4:57whether it's the support and resistance
- 4:58whether it's continuation of the
- 5:00momentum on that downside or
- 5:03upside you can see where your entry
- 5:06points are
- 5:07so say for example on this weird day
- 5:09like you
- 5:10don't really know where to get in unless
- 5:12you have moving averages on there
- 5:14so the day started and it started to go
- 5:17down so you saw the price crossing down
- 5:19through the moving average but you
- 5:20didn't get on a short position
- 5:22because the previous day you see this
- 5:24swoop up so you're seeing
- 5:26bullish momentum so why would you get in
- 5:28on a short position
- 5:30so just be patient and wait and it
- 5:33crossed through it again and you're like
- 5:34cool that confirms the
- 5:36theory that i had that we're having
- 5:37bullish momentum
- 5:39so we're above moving averages now
- 5:42creating support
- 5:43get in on your trade and you got your 20
- 5:46pips no problem
- 5:47if you want specific sniper entries for
- 5:50your trades i have a strategy

- 6:15you're starting with or what account
- 6:16size you have now
- 6:18how many lots you need to trade whether
- 6:21they're micro lots or
- 6:22standard lots use the calculator that i
