Full transcript
- 0:00In this video, I'm going to show you
- 0:02guys the exact strategy I used to grow
- 0:05an account from $500 to 10K.
- 0:10Before we jump into it, if you guys
- 0:12could do me a huge favor, I'd greatly
- 0:13appreciate it. Please like this video
- 0:15and subscribe to my channel. I'm trying
- 0:17to grow to a measly 5,000 subscribers on
- 0:20this channel and um it would really
- 0:23really help me. So, without further ado,
- 0:25let's jump right into things. Okay, so
- 0:28here um we're looking at the S&P 500 um
- 0:33on the fiveminute chart. Um 99% of my
- 0:37trades, you know, through this process
- 0:40came directly from the S&P 500. Um
- 0:44and I don't know about 80 to 90% of my
- 0:47analysis came from the five minute chart
- 0:50um on the S&P.
- 0:53Um, and how you're looking at my screen
- 0:55right now is exactly how I have my
- 0:57screen set up every single day in the
- 1:00market. No crazy indicators, no crazy
- 1:03nothing. And I think it'll make a lot of
- 1:04sense to you guys here in a second. The
- 1:07biggest thing that I kind of want to
- 1:09emphasize before we jump right into
- 1:11things is I'm going to show you guys the
- 1:13last three trading days in the market.
- 1:16Uh, I'm not going to cherrypick a bunch
- 1:18of information. um each and every day
- 1:20this strategy generally speaking works.
- 1:23Of course, no strategy wins a 100% of
- 1:25the time, but you know, over the past
- 1:28three days, you know, I'm going to show
- 1:30you all three examples and you know,
- 1:33this strategy works consistently over a
- 1:36period of time and you get opportunities
- 1:39consistently each and every day. So,
- 1:42let's jump into things.
- 1:44First and foremost, okay,
- 1:47the biggest thing to understand
- 1:51is that in the morning, the market tends
- 1:56to what I call range. Okay? And this is
- 2:01not a strategy of some people are
- 2:04familiar with the orb or opening range
- 2:07breakout. This is not that. But this is
- 2:10a system where you are anticipating that
- 2:13the market is going to range in the
- 2:14morning. So first and foremost, what is
- 2:17a range? How is a range defined? A range
- 2:20is when price trades in between two
- 2:23points. And it can look like a lot of
- 2:25things. So what I mean by that is if
- 2:26current price is here, that is current
- 2:29price. It's trading between two points,
- 2:32a high point and a low point. Okay? And
- 2:36to to be super specific, okay,
- 2:40a range can look like a lot of different
- 2:42things in the morning. It could look
- 2:44like something like this where the open
- 2:46is the high and then you have the low
- 2:48and then you have current price here.
- 2:50That's a range. Uh it could look
- 2:52something like this. Okay, we see this a
- 2:55lot where you know the low is very close
- 2:58to where current price is and your range
- 3:01may look like something like like this.
- 3:04Okay, can look like a lot of things. The
- 3:06most important thing is that current
- 3:08price is in between the high point and
- 3:11the low point. Okay, so let's look at
- 3:15actual price and I'll show you numerous
- 3:18examples where this kind of comes into
- 3:20play. Okay. So, when we see the market
- 3:25open, okay, so we see 8:30 my time, the
- 3:28market opens, we see price move up, come
- 3:31down, move back up.
- 3:34It's going to make a lot more sense if I
- 3:36kind of show a replay mode that looks
- 3:38something like this. Okay, we have our
- 3:41high point, we have our low point. Okay,
- 3:43one extremely important aspect that is
- 3:48really important is I actually don't
- 3:51bring into account the candle wicks. So
- 3:55the wicks up here, the wicks down here.
- 3:57That's for a later video as to why. Um
- 4:01but I only look at candle body highs and
- 4:04candle body lows. So that looks
- 4:06something like this. Okay, this is what
- 4:09a range would look like. Okay, price is
- 4:12currently between the high and low in
- 4:15this box. This is my no trading zone.
- 4:18Okay, so I take no trades in this box
- 4:21here. This is for watching. This is for
- 4:24waiting. Okay, when I'm looking to take
- 4:27a trade, it's either whether price
- 4:30breaks and closes above, okay, or breaks
- 4:35and closes below. I'm not trying to
- 4:39predict. I'm simply trying to react. And
- 4:43I'm going to explain what that looks
- 4:44like here in a second. And then there's
- 4:46another aspect of the strategy that I'm
- 4:48also going to dive into as a form of
- 4:51confluence to make this a even higher
- 4:53probability setup.
- 4:56Okay,
- 4:58for this example, we see price break
- 5:01over and close over. Okay, for example,
- 5:06this could be a very strong entry point
- 5:09for me that we see price break over the
- 5:12range, close over the range. And given
- 5:16how price action functions, this is a
- 5:19high probability setup, okay, for price
- 5:23to continue to the upside and trend,
- 5:26okay? And I'll show you guys how this
- 5:29thing plays out. you know, more or less
- 5:32you guys get the picture. We see price
- 5:34trend up pretty aggressively,
- 5:37keeps going, keeps going, like pretty
- 5:39much all day. Okay, we see price trend
- 5:42up. The problem most traders run into,
- 5:46to be totally honest, when they're
- 5:48trying to build a strategy or trying to
- 5:50build a system is they're so fixated on
- 5:54trying to predict where the bottom is
- 5:56and all these trends. So, like they're
- 5:58they're trying to buy at the bottom or
- 6:00buy at the bottom here. And in
- 6:02retrospect, like back testing a strategy
- 6:05or just looking back at time, like you
- 6:06can trick yourself into believing you
- 6:08can actually find these on a consistent
- 6:10basis, these like bottoms. It looks easy
- 6:14in retrospect. It's not so easy
- 6:18uh in real time. And so a lot of brand
- 6:20new traders or even experienced traders
- 6:22like trick themselves into thinking they
- 6:25can identify these perfect dips every
- 6:27single time. Um and the reality is is
- 6:30you know in my opinion you can't. Um and
- 6:33more importantly my focus is not to do
- 6:35that. My focus is to actually trade
- 6:37trend continuation and trend structure
- 6:39to the upside using these ranges. Okay.
- 6:42Now let's dive into kind of part two on
- 6:45what makes these trades even stronger.
- 6:48I'm going to use this same example right
- 6:49here, but we're we're going to go again
- 6:51back a couple days too and I'm going to
- 6:53show you some other examples, but by
- 6:55then you'll kind of have a good idea of
- 6:56how it works. But with this example, I
- 6:58want to explain the full strategy start
- 7:00to finish. Okay. The other aspect of the
- 7:06strategy and what makes it higher
- 7:08probability is actually using these two
- 7:10lines you see here on your ch or excuse
- 7:12me, you see on my chart. Um, these are
- 7:17the 20-day moving average and the 50-day
- 7:20moving average. Um,
- 7:23I could make a uh much bigger kind of
- 7:28deep dive into these EMAs, how they
- 7:30actually work in a future video if you
- 7:32guys want. Um, but just to keep it
- 7:36extremely simple, this is the average
- 7:39price over a period of time. So again,
- 7:42you're looking at the 20 EMA and the 50
- 7:44EMA. The 20 is the blue, the 50 is the
- 7:46red. Okay? And I'm going to give you
- 7:49guys the cliffnotes version in 30
- 7:52seconds on how I use it. Okay? How I use
- 7:54this is if the 20 EMA is over the 50 and
- 7:59price is also over both of those. So
- 8:03this situation here and then let's go
- 8:05back very quickly to that entry point.
- 8:09It might be hard to see,
- 8:12but if the 20 is over the 50, so the
- 8:16blue is over the red, check, and then
- 8:19price is over the blue as well and the
- 8:22red, check, that means I'm only looking
- 8:25for upside trades. Okay? So, I'm only
- 8:28looking to trade upwards. So, for
- 8:29example, if this was happening
- 8:32and you know, let's say the 20 was over
- 8:35the 50,
- 8:37you know, but price was, you know,
- 8:40breaking below or whatever, I'm not
- 8:42taking the trade. Um, so I need both of
- 8:44these to kind of align perfectly for me
- 8:46to take a trade. In this example, we see
- 8:48a perfect alignment and then we see
- 8:50price take off. Okay, we saw a breakout.
- 8:54We see those EMAs the way I want them to
- 8:57be. Boom. Breakout. Okay.
- 9:01Uh let's look at another example here.
- 9:04Um
- 9:07let's go back to let's say the prior day
- 9:11and let's kind of look at the same sort
- 9:14of idea. So we see price trend down for
- 9:17the day, right? So we see price trend
- 9:19down. Here's an example of why I need
- 9:22both to align for me to take a trade.
- 9:27Okay, let's look at our range. And we
- 9:31can see our range looks like this,
- 9:32right? We talked about numerous ways a
- 9:34range can look. And this is kind of a
- 9:37new one. Um, this is how I would have it
- 9:40drawn up. Okay? And the important thing
- 9:43to understand here is this is the EMAs
- 9:48and how they're lined up would be
- 9:49considered in my opinion a bullish
- 9:51setup. We see the 20 over the 50. So in
- 9:53this situation, I'm only looking for
- 9:55upside trades. Okay,
- 9:58but we see price break below.
- 10:01Okay, I think this is still a signal
- 10:04that we could see a downtrend in price,
- 10:06but this is not one that I would trade.
- 10:08Okay, and it's important to have that
- 10:11discrepancy in your mindset, in your
- 10:13trading psychology that you can believe
- 10:16something to happen. It doesn't mean
- 10:17you're going to trade it. I believe
- 10:19price will probably trend down, but it
- 10:21doesn't mean I'm going to take that
- 10:22trade. and we see price start to move
- 10:26back up. Okay, so I'm not taking that
- 10:29trade here. And we see price move back
- 10:31up because we got mixed signals. All
- 10:34right, so I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I'm
- 10:36waiting.
- 10:39Okay, let me back up just really
- 10:41quickly.
- 10:43In this situation,
- 10:46what I can do is now roll
- 10:50my range down to the bottom because
- 10:52remember this is a range. We have a low
- 10:54and a high. Price is trading between it.
- 10:57So it could look something like this.
- 11:00And now we start to see price break
- 11:02below,
- 11:04cross below.
- 11:07This could signal now an entry short to
- 11:10the downside. Okay.
- 11:14And we see price trend down. Takes a
- 11:17minute. Takes some time. Ultimately, we
- 11:20see price trend down. Okay. Might not
- 11:23have been as aggressive as
- 11:26uh the the example we just looked at,
- 11:29but we see price trend down. Our entry
- 11:32is over here. We see price move down
- 11:34over a period of time. Okay. Um, and it
- 11:37also shows you the most important thing
- 11:39of this example as well is showing you
- 11:41when the more opportune time to trade is
- 11:43with the combination of those two
- 11:44metrics versus here where then we see
- 11:48price move back up. And the important
- 11:50thing to understand here, I didn't don't
- 11:52think I made clear, is this move could
- 11:54very well stop out a lot of you traders,
- 11:57okay? Where you're stopped out of your
- 11:58trade, price moves up, stops you out,
- 12:01and all those traders who enter here got
- 12:03stopped out. Then the traders who are
- 12:05more patient, waited for proper
- 12:07confluence, are up on the trade. Might
- 12:09not have been a huge huge winning trade,
- 12:12but there's two things kind of to
- 12:15understand here. Number one, in this
- 12:16example, you're avoiding a losing trade.
- 12:19Okay? So that's you're you're in a way
- 12:22you're saving money in your account.
- 12:23You're avoiding having a losing trade.
- 12:25And then while the actual trade may not
- 12:27have been as huge as the first example
- 12:29we looked at, you're still making profit
- 12:31on that trade. So you're avoiding bad
- 12:33trades and you're making profit on your
- 12:36current trades. So
- 12:38real quick, we'll look at one more
- 12:40example.
- 12:44Um
- 12:46the very next day or the prior day, same
- 12:49sort of idea. We'll run through this one
- 12:52pretty quickly.
- 12:54Okay, market opens. We've established a
- 12:57high and low. We see our EMAs are
- 13:00actually kind of in a bearish standpoint
- 13:03where we have the 20 below the 50. So,
- 13:06I'm only looking for downward trades.
- 13:10See if we get one. We actually see price
- 13:12break over here, but we have not quite
- 13:15yet crossed on those EMAs just yet.
- 13:20Let's see what happens if the EMAs
- 13:23cross.
- 13:24Okay, now we get the EMAs crossing. Now
- 13:28we get price breaking over. Now this
- 13:31could be an entry to the upside here at
- 13:33this point.
- 13:37And we see price pushing up aggressively
- 13:41to the upside.
- 13:43Pretty simple stuff. Um nothing overly
- 13:46complicated. Um very very simple
- 13:50strategy. Um, and the most important
- 13:54thing that I want to get across to you
- 13:56guys is this strategy is really great at
- 14:00ideally avoiding bad trades
- 14:04and also positioning yourself to take
- 14:08advantage of good setups, really good
- 14:11opportunities. Of course, no strategy is
- 14:14a 100% win rate, but this is a very good
- 14:17strategy with a very strong win rate.
- 14:20Okay.
- 14:22All right.
- 14:24Last thing I want to mention at the end
