  1. 0:00In this video, I'm going to show you
  2. 0:02guys the exact strategy I used to grow
  3. 0:05an account from $500 to 10K.
  4. 0:10Before we jump into it, if you guys
  5. 0:12could do me a huge favor, I'd greatly
  6. 0:13appreciate it. Please like this video
  7. 0:15and subscribe to my channel. I'm trying
  8. 0:17to grow to a measly 5,000 subscribers on
  9. 0:20this channel and um it would really
  10. 0:23really help me. So, without further ado,
  11. 0:25let's jump right into things. Okay, so
  12. 0:28here um we're looking at the S&P 500 um
  13. 0:33on the fiveminute chart. Um 99% of my
  14. 0:37trades, you know, through this process
  15. 0:40came directly from the S&P 500. Um
  16. 0:44and I don't know about 80 to 90% of my
  17. 0:47analysis came from the five minute chart
  18. 0:50um on the S&P.
  19. 0:53Um, and how you're looking at my screen
  20. 0:55right now is exactly how I have my
  21. 0:57screen set up every single day in the
  22. 1:00market. No crazy indicators, no crazy
  23. 1:03nothing. And I think it'll make a lot of
  24. 1:04sense to you guys here in a second. The
  25. 1:07biggest thing that I kind of want to
  26. 1:09emphasize before we jump right into
  27. 1:11things is I'm going to show you guys the
  28. 1:13last three trading days in the market.
  29. 1:16Uh, I'm not going to cherrypick a bunch
  30. 1:18of information. um each and every day
  31. 1:20this strategy generally speaking works.
  32. 1:23Of course, no strategy wins a 100% of
  33. 1:25the time, but you know, over the past
  34. 1:28three days, you know, I'm going to show
  35. 1:30you all three examples and you know,
  36. 1:33this strategy works consistently over a
  37. 1:36period of time and you get opportunities
  38. 1:39consistently each and every day. So,
  39. 1:42let's jump into things.
  40. 1:44First and foremost, okay,
  41. 1:47the biggest thing to understand
  42. 1:51is that in the morning, the market tends
  43. 1:56to what I call range. Okay? And this is
  44. 2:01not a strategy of some people are
  45. 2:04familiar with the orb or opening range
  46. 2:07breakout. This is not that. But this is
  47. 2:10a system where you are anticipating that
  48. 2:13the market is going to range in the
  49. 2:14morning. So first and foremost, what is
  50. 2:17a range? How is a range defined? A range
  51. 2:20is when price trades in between two
  52. 2:23points. And it can look like a lot of
  53. 2:25things. So what I mean by that is if
  54. 2:26current price is here, that is current
  55. 2:29price. It's trading between two points,
  56. 2:32a high point and a low point. Okay? And
  57. 2:36to to be super specific, okay,
  58. 2:40a range can look like a lot of different
  59. 2:42things in the morning. It could look
  60. 2:44like something like this where the open
  61. 2:46is the high and then you have the low
  62. 2:48and then you have current price here.
  63. 2:50That's a range. Uh it could look
  64. 2:52something like this. Okay, we see this a
  65. 2:55lot where you know the low is very close
  66. 2:58to where current price is and your range
  67. 3:01may look like something like like this.
  68. 3:04Okay, can look like a lot of things. The
  69. 3:06most important thing is that current
  70. 3:08price is in between the high point and
  71. 3:11the low point. Okay, so let's look at
  72. 3:15actual price and I'll show you numerous
  73. 3:18examples where this kind of comes into
  74. 3:20play. Okay. So, when we see the market
  75. 3:25open, okay, so we see 8:30 my time, the
  76. 3:28market opens, we see price move up, come
  77. 3:31down, move back up.
  78. 3:34It's going to make a lot more sense if I
  79. 3:36kind of show a replay mode that looks
  80. 3:38something like this. Okay, we have our
  81. 3:41high point, we have our low point. Okay,
  82. 3:43one extremely important aspect that is
  83. 3:48really important is I actually don't
  84. 3:51bring into account the candle wicks. So
  85. 3:55the wicks up here, the wicks down here.
  86. 3:57That's for a later video as to why. Um
  87. 4:01but I only look at candle body highs and
  88. 4:04candle body lows. So that looks
  89. 4:06something like this. Okay, this is what
  90. 4:09a range would look like. Okay, price is
  91. 4:12currently between the high and low in
  92. 4:15this box. This is my no trading zone.
  93. 4:18Okay, so I take no trades in this box
  94. 4:21here. This is for watching. This is for
  95. 4:24waiting. Okay, when I'm looking to take
  96. 4:27a trade, it's either whether price
  97. 4:30breaks and closes above, okay, or breaks
  98. 4:35and closes below. I'm not trying to
  99. 4:39predict. I'm simply trying to react. And
  100. 4:43I'm going to explain what that looks
  101. 4:44like here in a second. And then there's
  102. 4:46another aspect of the strategy that I'm
  103. 4:48also going to dive into as a form of
  104. 4:51confluence to make this a even higher
  105. 4:53probability setup.
  106. 4:56Okay,
  107. 4:58for this example, we see price break
  108. 5:01over and close over. Okay, for example,
  109. 5:06this could be a very strong entry point
  110. 5:09for me that we see price break over the
  111. 5:12range, close over the range. And given
  112. 5:16how price action functions, this is a
  113. 5:19high probability setup, okay, for price
  114. 5:23to continue to the upside and trend,
  115. 5:26okay? And I'll show you guys how this
  116. 5:29thing plays out. you know, more or less
  117. 5:32you guys get the picture. We see price
  118. 5:34trend up pretty aggressively,
  119. 5:37keeps going, keeps going, like pretty
  120. 5:39much all day. Okay, we see price trend
  121. 5:42up. The problem most traders run into,
  122. 5:46to be totally honest, when they're
  123. 5:48trying to build a strategy or trying to
  124. 5:50build a system is they're so fixated on
  125. 5:54trying to predict where the bottom is
  126. 5:56and all these trends. So, like they're
  127. 5:58they're trying to buy at the bottom or
  128. 6:00buy at the bottom here. And in
  129. 6:02retrospect, like back testing a strategy
  130. 6:05or just looking back at time, like you
  131. 6:06can trick yourself into believing you
  132. 6:08can actually find these on a consistent
  133. 6:10basis, these like bottoms. It looks easy
  134. 6:14in retrospect. It's not so easy
  135. 6:18uh in real time. And so a lot of brand
  136. 6:20new traders or even experienced traders
  137. 6:22like trick themselves into thinking they
  138. 6:25can identify these perfect dips every
  139. 6:27single time. Um and the reality is is
  140. 6:30you know in my opinion you can't. Um and
  141. 6:33more importantly my focus is not to do
  142. 6:35that. My focus is to actually trade
  143. 6:37trend continuation and trend structure
  144. 6:39to the upside using these ranges. Okay.
  145. 6:42Now let's dive into kind of part two on
  146. 6:45what makes these trades even stronger.
  147. 6:48I'm going to use this same example right
  148. 6:49here, but we're we're going to go again
  149. 6:51back a couple days too and I'm going to
  150. 6:53show you some other examples, but by
  151. 6:55then you'll kind of have a good idea of
  152. 6:56how it works. But with this example, I
  153. 6:58want to explain the full strategy start
  154. 7:00to finish. Okay. The other aspect of the
  155. 7:06strategy and what makes it higher
  156. 7:08probability is actually using these two
  157. 7:10lines you see here on your ch or excuse
  158. 7:12me, you see on my chart. Um, these are
  159. 7:17the 20-day moving average and the 50-day
  160. 7:20moving average. Um,
  161. 7:23I could make a uh much bigger kind of
  162. 7:28deep dive into these EMAs, how they
  163. 7:30actually work in a future video if you
  164. 7:32guys want. Um, but just to keep it
  165. 7:36extremely simple, this is the average
  166. 7:39price over a period of time. So again,
  167. 7:42you're looking at the 20 EMA and the 50
  168. 7:44EMA. The 20 is the blue, the 50 is the
  169. 7:46red. Okay? And I'm going to give you
  170. 7:49guys the cliffnotes version in 30
  171. 7:52seconds on how I use it. Okay? How I use
  172. 7:54this is if the 20 EMA is over the 50 and
  173. 7:59price is also over both of those. So
  174. 8:03this situation here and then let's go
  175. 8:05back very quickly to that entry point.
  176. 8:09It might be hard to see,
  177. 8:12but if the 20 is over the 50, so the
  178. 8:16blue is over the red, check, and then
  179. 8:19price is over the blue as well and the
  180. 8:22red, check, that means I'm only looking
  181. 8:25for upside trades. Okay? So, I'm only
  182. 8:28looking to trade upwards. So, for
  183. 8:29example, if this was happening
  184. 8:32and you know, let's say the 20 was over
  185. 8:35the 50,
  186. 8:37you know, but price was, you know,
  187. 8:40breaking below or whatever, I'm not
  188. 8:42taking the trade. Um, so I need both of
  189. 8:44these to kind of align perfectly for me
  190. 8:46to take a trade. In this example, we see
  191. 8:48a perfect alignment and then we see
  192. 8:50price take off. Okay, we saw a breakout.
  193. 8:54We see those EMAs the way I want them to
  194. 8:57be. Boom. Breakout. Okay.
  195. 9:01Uh let's look at another example here.
  196. 9:04Um
  197. 9:07let's go back to let's say the prior day
  198. 9:11and let's kind of look at the same sort
  199. 9:14of idea. So we see price trend down for
  200. 9:17the day, right? So we see price trend
  201. 9:19down. Here's an example of why I need
  202. 9:22both to align for me to take a trade.
  203. 9:27Okay, let's look at our range. And we
  204. 9:31can see our range looks like this,
  205. 9:32right? We talked about numerous ways a
  206. 9:34range can look. And this is kind of a
  207. 9:37new one. Um, this is how I would have it
  208. 9:40drawn up. Okay? And the important thing
  209. 9:43to understand here is this is the EMAs
  210. 9:48and how they're lined up would be
  211. 9:49considered in my opinion a bullish
  212. 9:51setup. We see the 20 over the 50. So in
  213. 9:53this situation, I'm only looking for
  214. 9:55upside trades. Okay,
  215. 9:58but we see price break below.
  216. 10:01Okay, I think this is still a signal
  217. 10:04that we could see a downtrend in price,
  218. 10:06but this is not one that I would trade.
  219. 10:08Okay, and it's important to have that
  220. 10:11discrepancy in your mindset, in your
  221. 10:13trading psychology that you can believe
  222. 10:16something to happen. It doesn't mean
  223. 10:17you're going to trade it. I believe
  224. 10:19price will probably trend down, but it
  225. 10:21doesn't mean I'm going to take that
  226. 10:22trade. and we see price start to move
  227. 10:26back up. Okay, so I'm not taking that
  228. 10:29trade here. And we see price move back
  229. 10:31up because we got mixed signals. All
  230. 10:34right, so I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I'm
  231. 10:36waiting.
  232. 10:39Okay, let me back up just really
  233. 10:41quickly.
  234. 10:43In this situation,
  235. 10:46what I can do is now roll
  236. 10:50my range down to the bottom because
  237. 10:52remember this is a range. We have a low
  238. 10:54and a high. Price is trading between it.
  239. 10:57So it could look something like this.
  240. 11:00And now we start to see price break
  241. 11:02below,
  242. 11:04cross below.
  243. 11:07This could signal now an entry short to
  244. 11:10the downside. Okay.
  245. 11:14And we see price trend down. Takes a
  246. 11:17minute. Takes some time. Ultimately, we
  247. 11:20see price trend down. Okay. Might not
  248. 11:23have been as aggressive as
  249. 11:26uh the the example we just looked at,
  250. 11:29but we see price trend down. Our entry
  251. 11:32is over here. We see price move down
  252. 11:34over a period of time. Okay. Um, and it
  253. 11:37also shows you the most important thing
  254. 11:39of this example as well is showing you
  255. 11:41when the more opportune time to trade is
  256. 11:43with the combination of those two
  257. 11:44metrics versus here where then we see
  258. 11:48price move back up. And the important
  259. 11:50thing to understand here, I didn't don't
  260. 11:52think I made clear, is this move could
  261. 11:54very well stop out a lot of you traders,
  262. 11:57okay? Where you're stopped out of your
  263. 11:58trade, price moves up, stops you out,
  264. 12:01and all those traders who enter here got
  265. 12:03stopped out. Then the traders who are
  266. 12:05more patient, waited for proper
  267. 12:07confluence, are up on the trade. Might
  268. 12:09not have been a huge huge winning trade,
  269. 12:12but there's two things kind of to
  270. 12:15understand here. Number one, in this
  271. 12:16example, you're avoiding a losing trade.
  272. 12:19Okay? So that's you're you're in a way
  273. 12:22you're saving money in your account.
  274. 12:23You're avoiding having a losing trade.
  275. 12:25And then while the actual trade may not
  276. 12:27have been as huge as the first example
  277. 12:29we looked at, you're still making profit
  278. 12:31on that trade. So you're avoiding bad
  279. 12:33trades and you're making profit on your
  280. 12:36current trades. So
  281. 12:38real quick, we'll look at one more
  282. 12:40example.
  283. 12:44Um
  284. 12:46the very next day or the prior day, same
  285. 12:49sort of idea. We'll run through this one
  286. 12:52pretty quickly.
  287. 12:54Okay, market opens. We've established a
  288. 12:57high and low. We see our EMAs are
  289. 13:00actually kind of in a bearish standpoint
  290. 13:03where we have the 20 below the 50. So,
  291. 13:06I'm only looking for downward trades.
  292. 13:10See if we get one. We actually see price
  293. 13:12break over here, but we have not quite
  294. 13:15yet crossed on those EMAs just yet.
  295. 13:20Let's see what happens if the EMAs
  296. 13:23cross.
  297. 13:24Okay, now we get the EMAs crossing. Now
  298. 13:28we get price breaking over. Now this
  299. 13:31could be an entry to the upside here at
  300. 13:33this point.
  301. 13:37And we see price pushing up aggressively
  302. 13:41to the upside.
  303. 13:43Pretty simple stuff. Um nothing overly
  304. 13:46complicated. Um very very simple
  305. 13:50strategy. Um, and the most important
  306. 13:54thing that I want to get across to you
  307. 13:56guys is this strategy is really great at
  308. 14:00ideally avoiding bad trades
  309. 14:04and also positioning yourself to take
  310. 14:08advantage of good setups, really good
  311. 14:11opportunities. Of course, no strategy is
  312. 14:14a 100% win rate, but this is a very good
  313. 14:17strategy with a very strong win rate.
  314. 14:20Okay.
  315. 14:22All right.
  316. 14:24Last thing I want to mention at the end
  317. 14:26of this call, I am going to link a one
