  9. 0:19[Music]
  10. 0:21welcome back to the channel everybody my
  11. 0:23name's artie and this is the moving
  12. 0:25average a show where we discuss
  13. 0:26everything day trading to keep you
  14. 0:28profitable what is the number one rule
  15. 0:30of day trading come on say it with me
  16. 0:32the trend is your friend when price is
  17. 0:35trending in a certain direction it will
  18. 0:37always retrace a little bit and then
  19. 0:39continue in that direction how do you
  20. 0:41know when that retracement is over it's
  21. 0:44usually a three-line strike a three-line
  22. 0:46strike is depicted like this three
  23. 0:49candles in one direction faking out the
  24. 0:52move and then one big candle engulfing
  25. 0:55down or up that is a trend continuation
  26. 0:59move i'm going to keep this video under
  27. 1:01five minutes so that you guys can get to
  28. 1:03trading as soon as possible on a demo
  29. 1:05account with this and then move to a
  30. 1:07live account all right
  31. 1:09new trends usually start with a massive
  32. 1:13huge moving candle this candle right
  33. 1:16here was about 25 pips this is a
  34. 1:20momentum moving candle the previous
  35. 1:22trend was an uptrend this candle right
  36. 1:26here broke that trend which subsequently
  37. 1:29made it lose its market structure
  38. 1:32preventing it from making higher highs
  39. 1:34and higher lows and the next high was a
  40. 1:36lower high thus meaning a new trend is
  41. 1:39forming if you simply took
  42. 1:42every single three line strike now this
  43. 1:46is on a five minute chart we have one
  44. 1:48two three four five six seven eight
  45. 1:53three line strikes let's put two more
  46. 1:56trades up and we can't take that last
  47. 1:57one because it goes against the rules
  48. 2:00which i will explain in just a minute so
  49. 2:02within 14 hours and 20 minutes
  50. 2:05trading with the trend only getting
  51. 2:08three line strikes you had one two three
  52. 2:11four five six seven eight profitable
  53. 2:14trades every single one of these trades
  54. 2:16entered at the close of a three line
  55. 2:19strike with a 10 pip stop loss and a 20
  56. 2:22pip take profit so if you risk 1 of your
  57. 2:25account for a 2 gain that means that in
  58. 2:2914 hours you could have gotten 16 profit
  59. 2:33on your account in less than one day
  60. 2:35during this entire thing you can see
  61. 2:38that market structure was never broken
  62. 2:42it continued to make higher highs and
  63. 2:45higher lows once it got to here it broke
  64. 2:49market structure that right there is the
  65. 2:52end of a trend now just for reference i
  66. 2:54would not take every single one of these
  67. 2:56trades because i strictly trade london
  68. 2:59session london open starts at 9 00 a.m
  69. 3:01london time i'm on the charts around 6
  70. 3:04a.m london time so from 6 a.m till 10
  71. 3:07a.m that is my trading window this is
  72. 3:10just an example of all of the trades
  73. 3:12that happened during this trend the
  74. 3:13reason this trade took so long is
  75. 3:16because of low liquidity during asian
  76. 3:18session or tokyo session so what you're
  77. 3:21looking for
  78. 3:22is three bullish candles and one bearish
  79. 3:25candle enter on close of candle 10 pip
  80. 3:28stop loss 20 pip take profit second
  81. 3:31entry right here
  82. 3:32three candles up one candle down enter
  83. 3:35it close of candle ignore three line
  84. 3:37strikes in the opposite direction of a
  85. 3:39trend you are only trading with the
  86. 3:40trend with this strategy three candles
  87. 3:42up one engulfing candle down enter trade
  88. 3:45at close of candle always wait for close
  89. 3:48of candle do not get in early don't
  90. 3:50force a trade three candles up one
  91. 3:52engulfing down enter again and again and
  92. 3:56again and again this last one right here
  93. 3:59i would not take because that engulfing
  94. 4:02candle is too big for my liking i like
  95. 4:04it to fit within 10 pips this one candle
  96. 4:08was 11 pips which means my stop loss
  97. 4:11would have to be up here which is a 15
  98. 4:13pip stop loss which i'm uncomfortable
  99. 4:15with when it comes to scalping because
  100. 4:17then i'm looking for a 30 pip move which
  101. 4:19i know is harder to get than a 20 pip
  102. 4:22move so market structure was broken
  103. 4:24right here so we are looking for the
  104. 4:27next uptrend right now we are looking
  105. 4:30for bullish three line strikes we only
  106. 4:33got one during this uptrend before it
  107. 4:37broke market structure and failed to
  108. 4:40make higher highs which means we are now
  109. 4:42looking for a downtrend because the
  110. 4:45market is cyclical enter
  111. 4:4810 pip stop loss 20 pip take profit and
  112. 4:51you keep on doing this depending on what
  113. 4:54the trend is doing if it breaks market
  114. 4:57structure you are looking for the
  115. 4:59opposite trend now this is not an end
  116. 5:02all be all 100 winning strategy because
  117. 5:06as you can see here with a 10 pip stop
  118. 5:09loss and a 20 pip take profit
  119. 5:12you got stopped out right here but then
  120. 5:15you got another entry right afterwards
  121. 5:1810 pip stop loss and a 20 pip take
  122. 5:22profit then you got stopped out again as
  123. 5:25the market failed to continue the trend
  124. 5:28breaking market structure and now you're
  125. 5:30looking for uptrend so then you will
  126. 5:32only take the bullish three-line strikes
  127. 5:36until that market structure is broken
  128. 5:38this consistently gets me a 70 to 75 win
  129. 5:42rate when i trade during my market hours
  130. 5:46if you back test this throughout every
  131. 5:49single session and get a hundred back
  132. 5:51tested trades in you will see which
  133. 5:53session it works the best on and which
