- 0:46gonna break this
- 0:47and it's just gonna go up to the moon
- 0:49you get in on your trade
- 0:50and then it starts reversing then it

- 0:55called and you take the loss and you're
- 0:56like god i should have just waited
- 0:58the amount of times that i've said god i
- 1:00should have just waited

- 1:04to do is focus on
- 1:05patience i know you're staring at the
- 1:07charts i know you're waiting for your
- 1:08entry
- 1:09but what you need to do is be extra
- 1:10patient and actually wait
- 1:12for a good entry a break and re-test
- 1:15of any market structure or moving
- 1:17average is a great entry point so let's
- 1:20jump into the charts i'm going to show
- 1:21you an example on
- 1:22aud usd so taking this out to a one hour
- 1:26chart i'm gonna put up some levels of
- 1:28support and resistance here we've got a
- 1:30level here
- 1:31we've got a level here and we've got a
- 1:33level here you can clearly see that we
- 1:35were having
- 1:36some resistance here some resistance
- 1:38here
- 1:39support being formed here and support
- 1:41being formed here
- 1:42if you are trading this on the one hour
- 1:45and you see it stuck in this range
- 1:46rejecting and then coming back down
- 1:48once we've broken through that you're
- 1:51like cool
- 1:52most people get in on a trade the second
- 1:54that it breaks
- 1:55and that is a huge mistake now i've got
- 1:57this zoomed in
- 1:58the most common mistake is right here a
- 2:00lot of people see this level being
- 2:02formed
- 2:03with the bodies of these candles they're
- 2:05being too
- 2:06literal with their levels of support and
- 2:08resistance
- 2:09you just kind of want a general area of
- 2:11it it doesn't have to be an exact
- 2:13number so what happened here is this
- 2:16long wick came down people see this
- 2:18downtrend
- 2:19and then at one point this candle was
- 2:21all red facing down so people got in
- 2:23and then got stopped out right here they
- 2:25didn't wait for a break and a re-test
- 2:28they just waited for it to break this
- 2:29candle and then got in on a short and
- 2:31got stopped out right here
- 2:33then we clearly got a break a small
- 2:36retest
- 2:37another retest and then a continuation
- 2:39down this
- 2:40is what you should have waited for to be
- 2:42comfortable
- 2:43to get in on your trade clear movement
- 2:46below that price and a re-test
- 2:48you can see we broke we retested came
- 2:51down
- 2:52tried to retest but couldn't get to that
- 2:54level and then continued down
- 2:56that's a comfortable entry for a trade
- 2:58and this works on any time frame
- 3:00imagine looking at a one minute chart
- 3:02and you can clearly see we have a level
- 3:04here
- 3:05it's not as significant as on the one
- 3:07hour chart but it's still
- 3:08something we came down we came up to
- 3:11retest
- 3:12and then continued down but on a one
- 3:14minute it's better to use moving
- 3:15averages so
- 3:16imagine if we put up the 21 to 50 and
- 3:18the 200
- 3:19then you can clearly see the trend of
- 3:22the price
- 3:22we are trading above the moving averages
- 3:24it's trending up we are trading below
- 3:26the moving averages we are trending down
- 3:28now this is a break and a retest of the
- 3:30moving averages
- 3:31which is the strategy that i like to do
- 3:33every single day so we've clearly broken
- 3:36through these moving averages
- 3:37starting to consolidate a little bit and
- 3:39now we're trading below them
- 3:41it's consolidating just a little bit and
- 3:44then it
- 3:44tests this finds a resistance
- 3:48and then continues down it comes back up
- 3:50again
- 3:51and tests it as resistance and keeps
- 3:54moving down these are the breaks and the
- 3:57retests
- 3:58when these retests happen and you're
- 4:00clearly seeing a downtrending market
- 4:03you can use that as your entry point for
- 4:05your position
- 4:06it's super super simple just be patient
- 4:09wait for the break and the retest
- 4:12whether you're trading market structure
- 4:14which you can learn in this video or
