  24. 0:46gonna break this
  25. 0:47and it's just gonna go up to the moon
  26. 0:49you get in on your trade
  27. 0:50and then it starts reversing then it
  28. 0:52goes so far negative that you're forced
  29. 0:53to close a trade so you don't get margin
  30. 0:55called and you take the loss and you're
  31. 0:56like god i should have just waited
  32. 0:58the amount of times that i've said god i
  33. 1:00should have just waited
  34. 1:01would blow your mind so what i want you
  35. 1:04to do is focus on
  36. 1:05patience i know you're staring at the
  37. 1:07charts i know you're waiting for your
  38. 1:08entry
  39. 1:09but what you need to do is be extra
  40. 1:10patient and actually wait
  41. 1:12for a good entry a break and re-test
  42. 1:15of any market structure or moving
  43. 1:17average is a great entry point so let's
  44. 1:20jump into the charts i'm going to show
  45. 1:21you an example on
  46. 1:22aud usd so taking this out to a one hour
  47. 1:26chart i'm gonna put up some levels of
  48. 1:28support and resistance here we've got a
  49. 1:30level here
  50. 1:31we've got a level here and we've got a
  51. 1:33level here you can clearly see that we
  52. 1:35were having
  53. 1:36some resistance here some resistance
  54. 1:38here
  55. 1:39support being formed here and support
  56. 1:41being formed here
  57. 1:42if you are trading this on the one hour
  58. 1:45and you see it stuck in this range
  59. 1:46rejecting and then coming back down
  60. 1:48once we've broken through that you're
  61. 1:51like cool
  62. 1:52most people get in on a trade the second
  63. 1:54that it breaks
  64. 1:55and that is a huge mistake now i've got
  65. 1:57this zoomed in
  66. 1:58the most common mistake is right here a
  67. 2:00lot of people see this level being
  68. 2:02formed
  69. 2:03with the bodies of these candles they're
  70. 2:05being too
  71. 2:06literal with their levels of support and
  72. 2:08resistance
  73. 2:09you just kind of want a general area of
  74. 2:11it it doesn't have to be an exact
  75. 2:13number so what happened here is this
  76. 2:16long wick came down people see this
  77. 2:18downtrend
  78. 2:19and then at one point this candle was
  79. 2:21all red facing down so people got in
  80. 2:23and then got stopped out right here they
  81. 2:25didn't wait for a break and a re-test
  82. 2:28they just waited for it to break this
  83. 2:29candle and then got in on a short and
  84. 2:31got stopped out right here
  85. 2:33then we clearly got a break a small
  86. 2:36retest
  87. 2:37another retest and then a continuation
  88. 2:39down this
  89. 2:40is what you should have waited for to be
  90. 2:42comfortable
  91. 2:43to get in on your trade clear movement
  92. 2:46below that price and a re-test
  93. 2:48you can see we broke we retested came
  94. 2:51down
  95. 2:52tried to retest but couldn't get to that
  96. 2:54level and then continued down
  97. 2:56that's a comfortable entry for a trade
  98. 2:58and this works on any time frame
  99. 3:00imagine looking at a one minute chart
  100. 3:02and you can clearly see we have a level
  101. 3:04here
  102. 3:05it's not as significant as on the one
  103. 3:07hour chart but it's still
  104. 3:08something we came down we came up to
  105. 3:11retest
  106. 3:12and then continued down but on a one
  107. 3:14minute it's better to use moving
  108. 3:15averages so
  109. 3:16imagine if we put up the 21 to 50 and
  110. 3:18the 200
  111. 3:19then you can clearly see the trend of
  112. 3:22the price
  113. 3:22we are trading above the moving averages
  114. 3:24it's trending up we are trading below
  115. 3:26the moving averages we are trending down
  116. 3:28now this is a break and a retest of the
  117. 3:30moving averages
  118. 3:31which is the strategy that i like to do
  119. 3:33every single day so we've clearly broken
  120. 3:36through these moving averages
  121. 3:37starting to consolidate a little bit and
  122. 3:39now we're trading below them
  123. 3:41it's consolidating just a little bit and
  124. 3:44then it
  125. 3:44tests this finds a resistance
  126. 3:48and then continues down it comes back up
  127. 3:50again
  128. 3:51and tests it as resistance and keeps
  129. 3:54moving down these are the breaks and the
  130. 3:57retests
  131. 3:58when these retests happen and you're
  132. 4:00clearly seeing a downtrending market
  133. 4:03you can use that as your entry point for
  134. 4:05your position
  135. 4:06it's super super simple just be patient
  136. 4:09wait for the break and the retest
