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