0:00All right, chat. So, you guys love the
0:02trading course videos, which we are
0:05going to start back up because it is
0:07right around uh year. It's been a year
0:09since I dropped the first one. And now I
0:13think it's time to update pretty much
0:16everything and give y'all a 2026 review.
0:20Uh so, with that being said, I have in
0:23this video three different videos that
0:25I've recorded. One's a part one and the
0:29second one is a part two, but I honestly
0:33thought I wasn't recording.
0:35So, it's pretty much two of the same
0:37videos and then I'll also have a trade
0:39breakdown video that I want you guys to
0:41see as well. But, with all that being
0:44said, let's get into the video. Uh first
0:47one we're going to play is the first
0:50session, which is going to be about
0:51trends and market structure. After that
0:54will be the current trade that I'm in.
0:56So, enjoy the video. Remember, you don't
0:58have to buy a course.
1:01I'll teach everything for free.
1:03All right. So, we are back to the
1:06basics, back to what we used to do.
1:09Uh it's been actually a year now since I
1:11dropped the course on YouTube for
1:14everyone to just learn from.
1:16Um so, yeah, a year later we are
1:19starting back up the same thing. Pretty
1:21much starting from ground zero to show
1:24you how to trade, uh especially in 2026.
1:29Uh the videos that y'all watched was
1:302025. Even though there hasn't been a
1:32significant change, still a good change
1:35for me to start going over some things
1:37that I do now, some of my psychology, um
1:41pretty much my trading in general
1:43because that's what you guys are here
1:44for, how to learn how to trade. So, with
1:46that being said, let's jump into it
1:49first. So,
1:51pretty much, like I said before, nothing
1:53really changed dramatically at all. Um
1:56I'm still going to explain it in the way
1:57that makes sense for everybody.
2:00Um,
2:01once again, this is
2:04literally the most simplest way to
2:06trade.
2:07Anyways, let's get into it. So, first
2:09thing is first, the biggest thing that
2:11matters first is you have to understand
2:13that ICC is market structure, right?
2:17I'mma say that first
2:19because we're just going to stream
2:21this stream today cuz I don't feel like
2:23typing all that out, but
2:25I want you to know that
2:30market structure and price action is all
2:33you need. ICC is not some special
2:34strategy. It's not something that's
2:37going to like literally be a lottery
2:39ticket for you. It's just me explaining
2:41it in a way that you can comprehend. So,
2:44when I'm saying this, don't take
2:47everything so literally, right? Take it
2:49for what it is as in when I say
2:52indication, correction, continuation,
2:54that's higher high, higher low, higher
2:57high.
2:58Lower low, lower high, lower low. Market
3:00structure, price action. We're looking
3:02for price action. All right? So, with
3:05this being said, let's get into the
3:07first thing that matters, trends, right?
3:11Trends is the first thing that matters
3:13because this is going to show you what
3:16type of market structure you need to be
3:19looking for. Now, if you're on an
3:21uptrend, you're only going to look for
3:24higher highs and higher lows. So, in
3:26this scenario, you're going to look for
3:28only
3:30higher highs.
3:32So, if I'm on an uptrend, all I'm
3:34looking for is higher highs.
3:36And you may be asking, why, right?
3:39Because these higher highs provide you
3:41with levels that be that can become a
3:44indication level,
3:46right? These levels can become
3:48indication levels, which then you can
3:50use to your advantage to see because
3:54price moves a zone from zone. Now, I
3:56don't want to get too confusing.
3:59I'm explain it
4:01in a way that you can understand and
4:03I'mma leave you with this one
4:05so you're not confused. We're just going
4:07to talk about trends today. We're going
4:08to talk about how to identify them and
4:10then what to do a little bit after. But,
4:13I don't want to put too much information
4:15in your face for like
4:18an hour cuz then you might may or may
4:20not get it. So,
4:22trends matter the most. You need to mark
4:25your higher highs and lows. Now, let's
4:28put it in this way because a lot of
4:29people say they sometimes don't really
4:32understand the higher high and the
4:34higher low part which I personally think
4:36that's the easiest part.
4:38Let's just say it like this. You mark
4:41your highs and you mark your lows. It
4:44You determine if it's the lowest higher
4:46than the previous one or the highest
4:48previous than the higher than the
4:49previous one. You determine that. But,
4:51all I want you to do is go on your chart
4:56and literally just mark every little
4:58pivot you see going
5:01in one direction and then it shifts
5:03super aggressive, right? So, we're not
5:05talking about how it just comes here a
5:07little bit and does a little faint and
5:09then come down. I'm talking about major
5:12visual shifts in the market. You can
5:15visually see
5:17price moving
5:19>> [snorts]
5:19>> from that direction that it was just at,
5:22right? I can visually see
5:24that this went down
5:27and then proceeded to come up. I can
5:29visually see that.
5:31And then comes here and I can visually
5:33see it went to this level and then
5:35started heading back in this direction,
5:37right? Just take it for what it is.
5:39Don't try to be so technical in looking
5:42at this and these candles and this
5:44candle. Look at what you're visually
5:46seeing because what you're seeing in
5:47front of you is what you need to see.
5:49The first thing you see is what you need
5:52to mark. When you start overthinking,
5:54that's when you start adding stuff
5:56that's not even supposed to be there,
5:58right? So, next after I mark this one, I
6:00can visually see it go down.
6:03It's going down. It's going down. And
6:04then it boom, right here, it visually
6:07goes back up into a different direction.
6:11Right? Now that it's going back up in a
6:12different direction, I can once again
6:15visually see it hits this level and then
6:18starts to head down.
6:21Now, the reason I'm saying all this is
6:23because right now, we need to identify
6:26the trend, but you also need to make
6:28sure that you're marking your highs and
6:29lows because this will help you with
6:32what I'm going to say next.
6:34Now, with what we just marked up, I can
6:37see
6:38my highs.
6:40Right? I can see when price goes up.
6:42When price is buying, when price is
6:44green, when you see these green candles,
6:46that means price is buying. And then
6:48when it stops, that means sellers kicked
6:50in.
6:51Highs equals sellers, right? Let's just
6:54put it like this.
6:56Highs
6:58equal sellers.
7:01Lows
7:03equals
7:05buyers. In simple words,
7:09buy high I mean buy low, sell high.
7:13Simple.
7:14Buy low, sell high.
7:16You want to buy something for the lowest
7:18price and sell it for the highest price.
7:21That's all. That's it. Nothing else.
7:23Keep it just like that. So, whenever
7:24you're looking at your charts, every
7:26time you mark a high, that's a seller.
7:29That's a seller.
7:30This is a seller, right?
7:33Sellers are strong here.
7:36Sellers are strong here.
7:39Sellers are strong here.
7:43Now, the reason why this is important is
7:45because
7:47you need to identify are the sellers
7:49getting lower and lower
7:52or they going higher? In this case, you
7:54really wouldn't see any sellers.
7:57Uh
7:58I guess you would say it
7:59I
8:00Ah, how do I explain that in a way that
8:02you can understand? The sellers, if
8:04you're on a downtrend, is your best bet
8:06that you need to look for because this
8:08is your protection level. We're going to
8:10call it protection levels.
8:12Right? If we're selling price,
8:15these are the levels that we don't want
8:17to see price go back above. Once we've
8:19came here already
8:21and price is sold down, it's going to
8:23make a lower high.
8:25This lower high is our protection. So,
8:27anything can happen under here, but we
8:30don't want to see anything above here if
8:32we're on a downtrend.
8:34Does that make sense?
8:36So, with this being said,
8:38in a downtrend, the only thing that you
8:41need to focus on is if price is making
8:43lower lows and lower highs.
8:46Lower lows, lower highs.
8:48Lower lows. Now,
8:50it's the same thing as
8:53it's the same thing as an uptrend.
8:56How an uptrend I said to look at the
8:58highs,
9:00in a downtrend, you would be looking at
9:02the lows because the lows provide you
9:04information of where price is heading.
9:08So, basically, what that means is I'm
9:10going to delete all this.
9:12This low,
9:15any
9:16action, price action, any action under
9:20here
9:21is signaling you
9:24that price is going to go
9:27from that level that it went under
9:29to the level that it stops at.
9:32So, if you see price move,
9:35you you visually can see that price came
9:38to this level. Let's go ahead and mark
9:39it this way.
9:43See if I can find my tool.
9:47Right? If you can visually see
9:50price come down to this level,
9:54have a rejection and go back up in a
9:56different direction,
9:57anything under that level is telling you
10:00it's going to go from that level that it
10:02broke to wherever it did it this again.
10:06Wherever you visually see that low
10:07again.
10:08Right?
10:09So,
10:11in all cases,
10:14this is what it's going to be.
10:20Keep it as simple as this.
10:22When price breaks this low, it creates
10:24an indication, shows us where that
10:27indication is going to end, corrects,
10:29and comes back down.
10:31Price is going to move zone from zone.
10:34Let's explain it like that. Zone to
10:36zone. So, if it breaks out of this zone,
10:40it's going to the next zone.
10:42And if it breaks this zone, it's going
10:44to the next zone, which I'll get into
10:46later, but it's going into the next
10:48zone.
10:50Right? Price is moving zone to zone.
10:52That's all you got to know. So, if it
10:54breaks back under this level, it's going
10:56to that level that it made already.
10:58Zone to zone. So, this zone to this
11:01zone. This zone to this zone.
11:04All we're trying to do to get into this
11:06trade is identify when price is finally
11:10continuing. Because this first initial
11:12breakout is normally to grab you out of
11:15your trade or put gamblers into the
11:17market, so then they can later take the
11:19money. But, like I said, I don't want to
11:21explain crazy too much in just one day,
11:24so let's get back
11:26Let's get back to explaining trends.
11:28Right? So,
11:30I want you to understand that the higher
11:32the time frame
11:37higher the time frame
11:43the more
11:44price
11:46respects
11:48the
11:50structure.
11:51Or we can just say market. Right? Or
11:54just say MS.
11:56Right? Price respects the market
11:58structure on the higher time frames. The
12:00higher you are, the more it respects.
12:03Now, once again, you may be asking,
12:04"What is What is
12:07What is price?" Or "What is the higher
12:09time frame?" Or you might be asking,
12:11"What is market structure?" Right?
12:13Market structure is only these four
12:15things. Four things that you need to
12:17know.
12:19Four things. This is it. This is all you
12:21need to remember.
12:22This is all you need to remember.
12:27Market structure is
12:29a lower high
12:33Let's go ahead and type that out for
12:34you. Lower high
12:39lower low
12:41Right? And then we have
12:46higher high
12:51higher low.
12:53It's literally in the name. You don't
12:56even have to
12:57ask what the definition is. It's
12:58literally in the name. A high that's
13:01higher than the previous one. A low
13:03that's higher than the previous one.
13:06A high that's lower than the previous
13:08one. A low which is lower than the
13:11previous one. So, literally read it just
13:14like this from this low to this low
13:18lower. So, read it just like that from
13:21the second word to the first word. Low
13:24lower.
13:25The low is lower. The high is lower. The
13:28low is higher. The high is lower or
13:31higher, sorry.
13:33That's it. That's market structure just
13:35in itself, right? Now, there's so many
13:38different ways that you can name this,
13:40right? Cuz this higher high could also
13:43be
13:44a indication.
13:48This higher high could also be
13:51sellers level.
13:56This higher high could also be
14:00resistance.
14:03Right? This low could be
14:08buyers.
14:10Correction.
14:15Right? This could be buyers level, I
14:17said that, support.
14:20Some people would use supply and demand,
14:21same thing. All the same thing.
14:24Right?
14:25This could all be the names and terms.
14:27If you really want to get technical,
14:29this is all the terms that you could use
14:30it for.
14:32All the same things.
14:34What works for a lot of people is
14:35calling it buyers level and sellers
14:37level. Because remember, you're trading.
14:41Right? You're trading.
14:44So,
14:46there either has to be more
14:49buyers
14:51than sellers
14:54or more sellers
14:58than buyers in order for price to trend.
15:04And when price is more buyers than
15:08sellers, the buyers are heading to new
15:11sellers, and if they're selling, price
15:14is heading to new buyers. So,
15:19basically what all this means is let's
15:22say
15:24Let's just delete all this now.
15:27If it lets me.
15:31Okay, it won't let me. All right, there
15:33we go.
15:34All right, let's say we was in a trend.
15:40Right? And we had this.
15:44Basically, what I'm seeing is buyers
15:47just came into the market and made a new
15:49high.
15:51This correction is solely showing us
15:53that buyers are exhausted and needing
15:56some more gas and more fuel to pump back
15:58into the market. Now,
16:01to get back into what I was saying
16:02earlier,
16:03when price is on a higher timeframe,
16:06higher
16:10the timeframe,
16:16more respect. I got to use less words,
16:19so that way you can you can understand
16:21like
16:23higher timeframe, more respect. That's
16:25it. Higher timeframe, more respect.
16:27Higher the timeframe, more respect.
16:30Higher the timeframe, more the respect.
16:33So, if I'm on the 4-hour or daily
16:35timeframe,
16:36price is going to respect the rules.
16:39Now, what are the rules?
16:41If price
16:43makes
16:44a higher
16:46high,
16:49next is
16:51higher low.
16:54Let's just spell it out for you guys.
16:55Higher low. Literally just like math.
17:00If
17:02X or if HH
17:08equals uh How do I How would I even put
17:10that? If HH
17:14is
17:15higher,
17:17I don't know how to put that in like a
17:20a math terminology, but in my head, I'm
17:22I'm like, "Oh, that makes sense in a
17:24math
17:25equation." But, if
17:27higher high
17:30leads
17:31to
17:33higher low
17:36then
17:37higher low leads
17:40to
17:41dot dot dot dot dot. You answer the
17:43question from here. From here, if HH
17:47leads to HL, then HL leads to
17:52So, in other words,
17:56if I made a higher high, this is a
17:58higher high because it's higher than the
18:00previous one.
18:03If HH, higher high, leads to HL, higher
18:07low, because this low is higher than
18:11this one,
18:12then higher low leads to
18:16higher high.
18:18And this is a trend,
18:19right? Vice versa, if it was a
18:21downtrend, it would be the same thing.
18:25If it was a downtrend, it would
18:26literally be the same thing. Let's do
18:33I'm pretty sure can I do it like
18:37Okay, there we go.
18:40So, in this case,
18:42let's just do LL
18:45leads to
18:48LH.
18:52So,
18:54once again,
18:55low,
18:58high,
19:00lower low, because this low
19:03is lower than this one,
19:06lower high,
19:09because this high is lower than this
19:11one.
19:13If LL, lower low, so right here where my
19:17cursor is at, leads to
19:20LH,
19:21which is where here is at,
19:24then oops, I forgot to change that part.
19:30Let's change that.
19:34Then HL, then HL leads to
19:39HL leads to
19:42LL.
19:44Right? It's just a pattern. You're just
19:46trying to spot out where the pattern is
19:48at. The higher the time frame, the more
19:50it respects these rules. Right? So, it's
19:53always good to trade on the higher time
19:55frame because the rules are really
19:57respected.
20:00Let's delete this. So, everything that I
20:03just went over, now I'm going to show
20:05you the trade that I got into for today.
20:08Or pretty much last week, but it played
20:10out today.
20:11So, in this scenario, you can see that
20:15we can already determine what trend we
20:17are on.
20:21Low,
20:22lower high, because this high is lower
20:26than this one.
20:28Lower low, cuz this low is lower than
20:32this one.
20:33So, if low,
20:36lower high, so if HL
20:39equals what?
20:41LL.
20:43And if LL is here, then it's going to do
20:46what? LH.
20:49And if LH is made, then it's going to do
20:52what after?
20:53Another LL. So, if LL is made, what is
20:57price most likely going to do?
20:59LH. And if LH is made, then what's next?
21:03LL.
21:05So, with all this being said,
21:09you have to remember to keep the trend
21:11simple. All you're doing, all I'm doing,
21:14in this case I was on the daily time
21:16frame
21:17to visualize and see these higher lows
21:20and lower lows and lower highs. I was
21:22able to pick them out here more than I
21:24was on the 4-hour time frame. So, if we
21:26go to the 4-hour, it looks you can still
21:28see the downtrend visual like you can
21:31still visually see the downtrend.
21:33But, when I went to the daily time
21:35frame, it kind of cleared all this up
21:37into one big trend, right? Cuz these are
21:40multiple trends. This is a downtrend
21:42right here, as you can see. As you can
21:44see, all this structure is respected.
21:46Look at it. Right here, respected.
21:49Respected.
21:51Respected.
21:53Respected.
21:56Respected. And then here went on a
21:58correction, came back up, tested, and
22:00then came back down again, and started
22:02going back on that downtrend. So, the
22:04highest point is here, then it
22:06respected, went down more, came up a
22:09little bit, respected.
22:12Right? Respected, and then dropped more.
22:14So, you can see that the 4-hour time
22:16frame is definitely respecting
22:18everything. The only reason we had that
22:20one break is because price on the daily
22:22time frame just made a new low. So, it
22:25needed a correction. Right here is where
22:27that new low was made. So, I'm going to
22:28draw this box right here.
22:32New low indication. Then we had a
22:35correction, which is all that movement
22:36on the 4-hour time frame right here. So,
22:38that was that indication right here.
22:40Price started correcting to go back up.
22:43And then we started to bring it back
22:45down under this level, which then we
22:47sold.
22:49So, first day, keeping it simple,
22:51talking about trends and how to identify
22:53them. Tomorrow we'll talk about getting
22:56looking for those corrections and how to
22:58get ready for our entry. But, today I
23:01just kind of wanted to go over just
23:03market structure
23:04is pretty much key to understanding
23:07anything else. You got to literally
23:09learn this first before you can even get
23:11an entry because if you get an entry
23:12without knowing this, then you're going
23:14to get freaked out because let's say
23:16this.
23:17I actually entered
23:19right around this level right around
23:22here, like
23:24like right around this candle right
23:26here.
23:27And then, I got put into some drawdown.
23:30But, this drawdown didn't hurt me or
23:33phase me because I knew that this was
23:36our high. So, price has the literally it
23:40can do whatever it wants in between any
23:42of this. It could have came all the way
23:44up here and retested and sold down.
23:46Right? It can do anything it wants to as
23:48long as it respects the rules
23:51that it has to make a lower high.
23:54As long as it respects that rule,
23:56then I know that price will respect it,
23:59make that lower high, and then look to
24:01make the lower low.
24:03All this movement is just price trying
24:05to find out where it's going to make
24:07that lower high.
24:09Right? It's not trying to buy all the
24:11way up. It's just trying to find a It's
24:13literally trying to find a parking spot.
24:15It's like price correcting is just
24:17trying to find a parking spot so it can
24:20get out and continue on with its journey
24:22of where it was going to go in the first
24:24place. So,
24:26with all that being said,
24:28I want you guys to really keep this as
24:30simple as possible. Like, I don't want
24:32trading to be super hard for you. I want
24:34it to be as easy and accessible as
24:37possible.
24:38Um as you can see here, I kept it pretty
24:41simple. If you have any questions,
24:42please let me know. Uh am I missing
24:45anything?
24:47Uh I trade off the 4-hour time frame
24:49mostly. Sometimes I jump on a daily when
24:52things are a little bit clear. As you
24:53can see here,
24:55you can you can easily identify what
24:58part of the trend we are on based off
25:00the daily time frame
25:02compared to going to the 4-hour time
25:04frame. So, let's flip to the 4-hour.
25:10So, as you can see, it's a little bit
25:12more trickier on the 4-hour, which is
25:13always good to have multiple time frame
25:16analysis. So, just kind of looking up
25:18and looking down on things. So, if I was
25:20on the 4-hour, I would always come up
25:22and look at the daily to see if they
25:24kind of match. See if I can get some
25:26type of feeling from the daily. Um if
25:29I'm on the 4-hour, sometimes I jump down
25:31to the 1-hour to see if I get a little
25:32bit more details. It's always good to
25:34have multiple
25:36um
25:36details and multiple analysis on
25:38different time frames as long as they
25:40all correlate in the end. So, you can't
25:42be on the 4-hour time frame saying, "Oh,
25:44price is on an uptrend." And then the
25:46daily time frame is saying, "Oh, price
25:48is on a downtrend." Cuz that doesn't
25:50make any sense.
25:52So, with that being said, thank you for
25:53watching. This is uh pretty much 001 of
25:57the new year. And yeah, see you guys
25:59tomorrow.
26:05All right. So, this is actually my first
26:08time hopping on the charts in a bit.
26:11But, as you can see, the market has
26:12completely shifted and changed. Uh
26:15there's a few things that I'm going to
26:16point out, but first I'm going to
26:18completely clear my chart, clear all my
26:21alerts. As you can see, I set a lot of
26:23alerts, over 52 notifications, but
26:27hey man, you got it you got to set
26:29these. These are like my prime bread and
26:31butter to making money when it comes to
26:33trading. Like, I feel like without
26:35alerts, I wouldn't be where I'm at
26:37today, to be honest.
26:39But, anyways, let's get into it. So, for
26:42some reason, they're not deleting, but
26:45it's cool.
26:46Um let's first go back to like pretty
26:49much how everything is going. So, as you
26:52can see, I closed on Wednesday the 9th
26:54for $15.3 million.
26:57As you can see, I have 11 trades with 50
27:00like a 54% win rate. Like I told you, I
27:03ended up getting into
27:06um some more trades. So, as you can see,
27:08four trades right here, one trade here.
27:10These are me adding more positions to
27:12the current position that I was already
27:14in. So, as you can see, this is when I
27:17made uh partials. I took partials. And
27:20if we go here, we can see when I opened
27:23a trade in the first place. So, I opened
27:25this trade on July
27:2829th.
27:29I took partials for $2 million on the
27:334th.
27:34And then I carried this all the way
27:36until the 9th. So, pretty much I was
27:40really holding this trade
27:43a month and some change. A month and
27:45some change, yeah. So, the 29th
27:48that's one one month.
27:51two three
27:54four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12
27:58days. So, 1 month and 12 days is how
28:01long I held this trade. I was holding
28:02this trade since July the 29th and then
28:06pretty much took partials on August 4th
28:10for $2 million
28:11and then also closing this trade fully
28:14on September 9th. And also taking um
28:19extra positions on the 3rd and the 4th
28:21of September, which ended up coming up
28:23as a loss, as you can see over here.
28:26Um -500,000, -500,000, -500,000,
28:31which is pretty much where I lost at.
28:33So,
28:35with that being said,
28:36um this trade honestly everything was
28:40going exactly how it needed to go. I
28:43feel like
28:45when it came to this
28:48I was holding more on to the simple fact
28:51that I was trusting the daily timeframe,
28:52even though there were small things
28:55in the market that was showing like,
28:57okay, the 1-hour go bearish or the
28:594-hour go bearish. I think I was leaning
29:01a little bit hard on that daily
29:03timeframe to continue to hold up. Um
29:07it held up pretty nicely. It just could
29:10not break above
29:13Let me see exactly what level that was.
29:15It could not break above the Oh, yeah.
29:19It was 4,500
29:21that it just could not break above. It
29:23tried multiple times.
29:25Um also this level right around here,
29:27which is 4,450,
29:30it was having a hard time breaking above
29:33that level. Um like I'm a market right
29:35here.
29:37Right around this level, it just had a
29:38hard time breaking it. As you can see,
29:40it broke the first time, which is when I
29:42started to add positions. As you can
29:44see, this is September 4th right here
29:46down at the bottom. So, if you look down
29:48here, you can see the date. September
29:503rd, September 4th was when I added
29:53positions due to the fact that price
29:55pushed up above this level. So,
29:58everything I did was more logical on my
30:01end. I wasn't just adding positions just
30:03to add positions. I was adding positions
30:05because above this level, we've already
30:07got the indication. So, we already got
30:10the signs that price was going to break
30:12above here and try to progress up to
30:14this level. The probabilities of that
30:16were really high, especially with it
30:18being on the 4-hour timeframe and
30:20overall everything just showing signs of
30:23bullishness. As you can see, price ended
30:26up coming all the way up, selling off.
30:28All this was in my head as a correction.
30:31So, if we go to the daily, you can see
30:32that the daily made a new high. It
30:34corrected, held above this level of
30:36support. So, as you can see, this level
30:38of support was being held. I'm going to
30:40draw this all the way through cuz we're
30:41going to use it later on.
30:43But, as you can see, this held up pretty
30:46strong. And once it pushed off the
30:49daily, I was like, "Okay, the daily time
30:51frame is respecting this level." So, I'm
30:53going to just go ahead and
30:55uh start a new one. Okay.
30:57I'm going to just go ahead and show you
30:58how it was. This is what I seen.
31:01So, even prior to that, this is what I
31:04seen.
31:06So, I seen price come into the daily
31:08time frame support level, which is a
31:10level where all buyers are going to be
31:12sitting at. So, in trading, I always
31:14like to look at everything as buyers and
31:16sellers, because once again, you're
31:18trading. So, if I'm in buys, I'm taking
31:21my buys to sellers. If I'm in sales, I'm
31:24taking my sales to buyers, right? You
31:26wouldn't try to sell a TV to somebody
31:29else that's selling a TV. So, you
31:31wouldn't take a buy order to another buy
31:33order. And how I like to look at it is
31:35lows is where buyers are at, highs is
31:38where sellers are at. So, always keep
31:40that in mind. So, I'll mark it out for
31:42you. Highs
31:44equals
31:47sellers.
31:51And lows equal buyers.
31:54Right? And I always keep it like that,
31:56because it didn't help me understand if
31:59there's one
32:00of too many. Like, in order for a trend
32:03to happen, it has to have one of the
32:05other at the most, at the max potential.
32:08So, if you're in a uptrend, that means
32:10you have
32:11way too many buyers in the market, where
32:14price is just constantly pushing up.
32:16Every is is demand is literally
32:19infinite. Like, everybody wants it,
32:21right? The hottest product, right? So,
32:23in gold, it was like the hottest thing
32:25that everybody was getting into. And
32:27then for sellers, it's like once price
32:29gets to a point where everybody wants to
32:31either collect profits or they don't see
32:33any value in it anymore, they start
32:35selling it off, right?
32:37So, with all this being said, along with
32:40um
32:41the interest rates and all the things
32:43that was coming up, um they said that it
32:46was going to cut rates. Cutting rates
32:48means that
32:49pretty much gold is going to go down in
32:51simple terms.
32:53Um
32:53with that being said,
32:57there was just overall like
33:01a mindset in me that I was like just
33:03focus on the daily. Just focus on the
33:05daily. Normally, I trade 4-hour and
33:071-hour, but I was so fixated on
33:10trusting that daily process to continue
33:12to do what I think it was going to do.
33:14Now,
33:15would you say that I was not paying
33:18attention to the market or would you say
33:19that I kind of had an ego? No, because
33:24I was overall looking at the structure
33:26still. I was
33:27going based off what the market was
33:29showing me on the daily time frame. But,
33:32what I did wrong was not pay attention
33:34to the smaller time frames building up
33:36for the daily time frames, right? So,
33:39let's just go ahead and keep walking
33:41through the process. So, mind you, my
33:43position is pretty much all the way down
33:45here. So,
33:47my position's like way down here.
33:50So, all this is just profit. I'm still
33:52floating in profit. I could have closed
33:54that anytime. I could have closed at the
33:55high. I could have closed anywhere to
33:57make profit. My thing was, can I make
34:00this into a longer swing trade? Because
34:02normally, I'm just a swing trader. Like
34:05I I've been swing trading for 3 years
34:06now. This this is like my bread and
34:08butter. So, with that being said,
34:11as all this is happening, price comes to
34:14this support level and buyers end up
34:16pushing the market up. This was a good
34:18sign because that means that this level
34:20is strong and it has a lot of buyers
34:23waiting to buy price at this price,
34:26right? Buyers, right? So, that means
34:29let's say if I had like a shoe
34:32or let's just say I had this
34:35Goyard bag, right?
34:37Let's say if I had this Goyard bag for
34:40$2,000, right? Let's say I had it for
34:42$2,000.
34:44Everybody wants this bag, right?
34:47Then, that way I can be like, "Okay,
34:51right now it's going for 3,000, but
34:53buyers are not going to buy it until
34:54it's back to 2,000." So, let's say I
34:57I am selling it for 3,000.
34:59If I say I'm selling for 3,000, some
35:01people might wait until the value goes
35:03down on it in order to buy, right? So,
35:06in this case,
35:08price was going down
35:10and buyers was ready to buy. So, then
35:12what did they do? They bought price at a
35:14good price. So, people thought gold was
35:16going to be good to buy at 4,325,
35:21which then an absurd amount of buyers
35:23came into the market and they started to
35:25buy price,
35:26right?
35:28So, as they started to buy price, price
35:30ended up coming back above this current
35:32level.
35:33So, in simple terms, when buyers buy
35:37above 4,440,
35:40so this level right here that I'm
35:41pointing to, normally there's an obscene
35:44amount of demand
35:46for price to continue to go forward. So,
35:48there's an insane amount of people
35:50wanting to buy price now because it's
35:52above 4,440.
35:56So, that basically means
35:59>> [snorts]
36:00>> if I had this bag
36:02for
36:03$3,000 at first, it went back down to
36:052,000, people started buying a bunch of
36:08them, then the other people that see
36:10these people buying, they're going to be
36:12like, "Oh, I need to buy the bag,
36:14too." It's kind of like how um influence
36:17works or like celebrities.
36:20Trends, basically. This is This is all
36:22related to trends. This is how a trend
36:23starts.
36:25When you see a celebrity wear some
36:26clothes,
36:28at first it was a low cost, right? It
36:31was probably like the shoe was probably
36:32like $100 or something like that. Like
36:34I'm just making an example. And then if
36:36you see Kim Kardashian wear it, it's
36:38like, "Damn, I got to get those shoes,
36:40too." So now they're going to mark up
36:42the value on those shoes. So now it's
36:44going to be $400 for the pair of shoes
36:46that was costing $100.
36:48Right? That's with everything in the
36:49world. Everything in the world is like
36:51that. The things that you buy, some of
36:54the stuff costs literally $100, $50 to
36:57make.
36:58But since it's got a name behind it,
37:01people will buy more of it at whatever
37:03price they can get it. So, same way with
37:06the market. Whenever price is above a
37:08certain level,
37:09there's more demand for it, and now
37:11everybody wants it.
37:13So buyers got it at a good price, pushed
37:16it up for a while. Now, this is the
37:18thing that we have to pay attention pay
37:20attention to the most. Where I got wrong
37:23is I fully trusted the
37:26price to go above and keep going up from
37:29here. Cuz price has made it already
37:31indication, it corrected,
37:34showed that it didn't want to go down,
37:36and now it's coming back above this
37:37high. In my eyes, if price is doing
37:40that, it's going to look to come to this
37:42next high.
37:43Now, the thing is here,
37:45what happened was was price ended up
37:47rejecting this level.
37:50Now, people are going to be like, "Well,
37:52what did you do there? Is that a fake
37:54out?" Me personally, I don't think
37:55that's a fake out. I think it's just the
37:57overall shift change. So in this way,
38:01I would look at this as like, "Okay,
38:03going down from the daily to the 4-hour
38:05to see what's going on." So we're going
38:06to go and see what's going on in the
38:08market. So as you can see, price did
38:10come up, it came high, and then it
38:12stopped at 4,450.
38:15So right around that level or 4,493.
38:21Price stopped around here and then sold
38:23off. Now, this is the first sign,
38:27but it also could play two ways. This is
38:29why it's always good to wait for that
38:30second initial push cuz that second
38:33initial push will always tell you what
38:35price is going to do next. So, since
38:38price didn't go high, this was
38:40considered a This was considered a lot
38:43of things. So, let me let me try to
38:45explain this in a simple way. So, for
38:46the 4-hour time frame, this was price
38:49showing us that it was changing
38:51structures cuz remember that correction
38:53has to build a downtrend. So, on the
38:56daily, this was just a red candle, but
38:59as you can see the 4-hour, it was a
39:01whole downtrend.
39:02Right? For a continuation, so if price
39:05wanted to continue to buy, it needed to
39:07break out of that cycle.
39:09So,
39:11if you ever watched any of my previous
39:13videos, you will see that I'm talking
39:14about how a downtrend will be lower
39:17high, lower low, and you can only have
39:19lower highs and lower lows in a
39:21downtrend. So, with that being said,
39:23price ended up breaking that structure
39:25on the 4-hour, and now there's a higher
39:28high.
39:29Right? So, right around here, now
39:31there's a higher high,
39:32which is signs of price being bullish,
39:35which is what I thought. Right? So, I'm
39:37still going based off everything that
39:39I'm seeing and what the market is
39:41producing to my eyes.
39:43Right? As you can see here, we have
39:46price breaking and making a higher high
39:48here. So, this, in my eyes, was simply a
39:52higher low because look,
39:54this is our lower high,
39:57this is our lower low.
40:00The next movement created a high, which
40:03was higher than the previous one, so
40:05this is our higher high.
40:07Price shot down, made a low, but this
40:11low is higher than the previous low, so
40:12this is a higher low.
40:15This is what initially got me to wanting
40:17to buy price because now price is giving
40:19me a higher high and a higher low. So,
40:22I'm thinking the 4-hour is going to go
40:24back on a a uptrend which will turn into
40:27the daily being in an uptrend. But then,
40:30as you can see, we ended up coming here,
40:33making a support level here. Price ended
40:36up staying stagnant
40:38and not going anywhere. It didn't go
40:41anywhere for a couple of days and then
40:43it finally broke to the downside which
40:45is when I overall ended up closing my
40:48trade because now this is a lower low.
40:52We also have higher highs in the market
40:55and now everything is just completely
40:57confusing because how do we have higher
41:01highs and higher lows and lower lows and
41:03lower highs in the same market and I'm
41:05looking for an uptrend. The only thing I
41:08should see is creations of a higher high
41:10and higher low when it comes to an
41:12uptrend. So, now since I don't have
41:14that, we ended up closing the trade and
41:17price just started staying stagnant
41:19which then later on moved down and now
41:22we have indications to the downside. As
41:25you can see, look at all this movement,
41:27this random movement for a couple of
41:29days, not staying not going anywhere and
41:31now we finally got movements under this
41:34level. But the only thing with this is
41:36price has already solidified that this
41:38is a ground level that buyers are
41:40sitting at.
41:41So, anywhere any anything that's
41:43happening now has to happen under that
41:46level.
41:47Right? We're going to put this back
41:48here.
41:51And then we're going to put this back
41:52here. So, right here, basically price is
41:56telling us buyers are sitting at this
41:58level.
42:00Buyers are sitting here, very strong
42:03here, and then we also have a sellers
42:06are sitting very strong here too as
42:08well. So, right around this level
42:09sitting very strong and in between these
42:12two levels, we really don't have any
42:14choice. We don't have anything that we
42:15can do outside the box. We just have to
42:18take
42:20take what price is doing now and wait
42:22for it to break either
42:244,389.
42:27So, let's say 4,390
42:29and then let's say it has to either
42:31break 4,248.
42:34Because in between here, there's a
42:35mixture of everything. So, if we go here
42:38and we look
42:40I'll clear the charts.
42:43Try to clear these alerts again.
42:47I think I have to refresh this page in
42:49order to
42:52in order to do this.
42:54Let's go back.
42:59All right. There we go.
43:01So,
43:03we go back to the 4-hour time frame
43:05and we see what price is doing. We can
43:07see that we have our highest point
43:10here
43:11of the market and the reason why I'm
43:13choosing this is due to the fact that if
43:16I'm visually looking at the charts, I
43:18can see that one, let's just go ahead
43:20and mark the easiest one. We can see
43:22that price is no longer going any
43:23further than this. So, from here, I can
43:26see that okay,
43:28I could have marked this. So, let me
43:30just give you the whole thought process.
43:32I have the low here, high, low,
43:35semi-high. So, we'll just still use this
43:37one. I can see that it broke above here,
43:39but then ended up selling off. So, I see
43:41that this is the high.
43:43This is now the low.
43:44I can see that these are both equal to
43:46all of this. So, that's why I marked
43:48everything. So, right now we have this.
43:50Right? I can see that price created a
43:51high,
43:53higher low,
43:54high, and then ended up selling off from
43:56here. So, the last point that we went
43:58the highest
44:00was here.
44:02Right? And I like to mark the body
44:04closes when it comes to marking my
44:05charts. So, I'm always marking body
44:07close because I feel like that is a
44:10closed deal. Whenever you close at a
44:11certain point, it's a closed deal.
44:14Whenever it's a wick, it means that
44:15price attempted to do that but didn't
44:18settle with the price. It's kind of like
44:20explaining it in a way like, let's say
44:22if you was on an auction, like they'll
44:24be like, "$100 here, $200 here, $300
44:26here, 300 300 here."
44:28"Nobody wants it for 300? All right,
44:30back down to 200, 200." And then they'll
44:32be like, "Okay, sold to the person in
44:34200." So, it's like it attempted to try
44:36to sell it for three
44:38but nobody wanted to take it, so it came
44:40right back down to three, I mean two,
44:42and sold for two. So, think of it in
44:44that way. So, I don't want to use the
44:46number that wasn't used, right? I don't
44:49want to use the number that wasn't used.
44:50It It tried to attempt to use it, but
44:53nobody wanted it. So, it's like, why
44:55would I go for something that nobody
44:56else want, right? Especially when you're
44:59in a market where
45:01everything matters based off how much
45:03people want it and how much people don't
45:04want it, right? So, that's why I use the
45:06body closes.
45:08And with all this being said, this is
45:10how I would structure my chart. From
45:13here, this is it. 4-hour time frame,
45:16what is price doing? Um we could even
45:18utilize the fact that this could be a
45:21sign.
45:22Um I personally wouldn't just use this
45:24one because there is this level here
45:26that looks like it was a big influence
45:29to all that push. Like it was pushing
45:31good at first and then stopped here and
45:33then we started to trend down. Right? It
45:35tried to attempt again, but then started
45:37to trend down. So, this is the strongest
45:39one. If you want, you can mark this one
45:42up, but the chances of this being very
45:45strong is not going to be likely because
45:46let's say this happens. Price comes up
45:48into this level, it it it does good,
45:51breaks above here, and then we get
45:53stopped here.
45:54Right? We get stopped here because that
45:55is the last level that we went from a
45:57high.
45:58So, I would rather buy price above this
46:01level.
46:02So, let's go ahead and make this a
46:03little bit thinner.
46:05I would love to buy price above this
46:07level because I know that this is the
46:10last high that we had in this area.
46:13Right? A lot of people would try to look
46:15all the way back instead of looking at
46:18what needs to be broken and what needs
46:20to be done right now. What task, what
46:22high, what low do we need to break in
46:25order for price to say, "Hey,
46:27I'm moving." A lot of people are trying
46:29to figure out things over here when you
46:31have enough information here to go off
46:34of. You have enough information in the
46:36past 3 to 4 days. So, this is like
46:40This is September 23rd, September 22nd,
46:44September 21st, September 18th. You have
46:471 week of information right here in your
46:49eyes on the 4-hour time frame. And
46:51that's all you need right here because
46:53it gives you highs, it gives you lows.
46:55Right? We got a low here, we got a high
46:57here. So, all we have to do now is wait
47:00for these levels to get broken and
47:02provide us with indications and
47:04corrections so that way we can profit
47:06later on. But, this would be my
47:08literally exact thought process. Okay.
47:12From here,
47:14set an alert.
47:17We'll set an alert right around here. We
47:19can even set it on the on the line.
47:22We can set an alert right here.
47:24And we can set an alert here.
47:28And we can set an alert
47:30here.
47:31So, on these lines when price breaks
47:34above or below any of these levels,
47:36price will alert us
47:38or TradingView will alert us to
47:41basically say, "Hey, price is breaking
47:43that level." And then from there, we
47:46start making our game plan on how we're
47:48going to enter. The first break is just
47:50to confirm, to let you know price is
47:54breaking that level. The correction is
47:56basically to grab liquidity, so that way
47:59you can get into the market and then the
48:01continuation is basically you getting
48:03into the trade and confirming that price
48:06is moving in that direction. In simple
48:08words,
48:11indication. So, let's do it this way.
48:15Indication,
48:17correction,
48:19continuation.
48:21In other words, lower low, lower high,
48:25new lower low.
48:26That's it. Vice versa.
48:30Higher high,
48:32higher low,
48:34higher high again.
48:35Indication, correction, continuation.
48:41That's it. Nothing else. Keep it simple.
48:44Keep it smooth.
48:46Just pay attention to what the market is
48:48doing because it always moves in trends
48:50and the rules of trends are if price is
48:52making a higher high, it's making a
48:53higher low. Once it makes the higher
48:55low, it's looking to make a new higher
48:57high.
48:58Downtrends. When price makes a lower
49:00low, it's looking to make a lower high.
49:03Once it makes that lower high and
49:04confirms it's a downtrend, it's going to
49:06go back for the lower low.
49:08That's it.
49:10It's all trending. When you see a trend,
49:12what happens? You see the same thing
49:15over and over. Pattern, pattern,
49:17pattern, pattern. Two things makes a
49:19pattern. Three things can make a
49:21pattern. Four things can make a pattern.
49:23But, it has to happen over and over.
49:25Lower high, lower low. Lower high, lower
49:28low. Lower high, lower low. It's a
49:30pattern. That's a pattern. Higher high,
49:32higher low. Higher high, higher low.
49:33Higher high,
49:35that's a pattern. When you know what is
49:37most likely going to come next, that
49:39becomes a pattern. Trends move in
49:41patterns. So, with that being said, if
49:43you look at the whole chart,
49:46we'll delete all this.
49:47If we look at the whole chart,
49:50let's pick a Let's pick a spot.
49:55Right? Even even back in prime gold,
49:58look at this.
50:01Oops.
50:03Higher high, higher low, lower high,
50:06lower low, small correction, then we go
50:08back up, higher high, higher low, higher
50:11high, higher low, higher high, then we
50:13have a small correction again, and then
50:16it builds back up, higher high, higher
50:18low, higher high, higher low, higher
50:20high, higher low. I don't know why I
50:22counted that one, but higher low, small
50:24correction again, lower high,
50:28higher low again, and then we have a
50:30another continuation back up to the
50:32upside, which was really astronomical.
50:34Higher high, higher low, and so forth,
50:37so forth. Higher high, higher low,
50:39higher high, higher low, higher high,
50:42higher low, higher high, higher low,
50:45higher high again.
50:47Higher low,
50:48builds back up, higher high, higher low,
50:51higher high, higher low, higher high,
50:53higher low, higher high,
50:55lower low, lower lower high, and then
50:58downtrend. Right? It's the same thing.
51:01It's the same thing.
51:03You just have to literally
51:05make it simple for yourself. Literally
51:08make it simple for yourself. But, with
51:10all that being said,
51:12that is what is currently going on in
51:14the previous market or the market now,
51:17and as I said, we are sitting right
51:19around
51:21We are sitting right around
51:24Let's see here.
51:26We're sitting right around
51:30um $149 million with pretty much a
51:34profit factor of 8.7, a win win rate of
51:3885.7%,
51:41and overall,
51:42it's been a good month. It's been a good
51:44year.
51:45And 72 trades, win 12 trades at a loss.
51:51And yeah.
51:53That's it.
51:55Let's get back into the video.
51:58All right. So, last year I pretty much
52:01did a YouTube course on how I traded in
52:042025. I pretty much still trade the same
52:07way in 2026. It's been a year, literally
52:10a year now
52:11since I made those videos. So, I'm going
52:13to redo everything once again, pretty
52:16much explaining how I trade,
52:18uh my psychology behind it, my thoughts,
52:20and my
52:22pretty much analogies with personal life
52:25and trading.
52:27Cuz I think everything relates to
52:28trading in this world to be honest in
52:30every simple form.
52:32So, with this being said, we're going to
52:34start with market structure and trends
52:36first. That is the most important part.
52:38Like, this video is literally the most
52:41important one because
52:43if you don't understand this part,
52:45you're not going to understand anything
52:48else. Like, it's not Like, you literally
52:50I can't stress it enough. Like,
52:53you have
52:54to learn
52:56market structure first.
52:58You have to learn this first.
53:02This is the easiest too. Like,
53:04this is like
53:08I got to take a take a Red Bull for this
53:10one, but
53:11you guys literally have to understand
53:13this first.
53:15It's all visual.
53:17Don't dig too deep into something that's
53:19all visual. Like,
53:21go based off what you see and trust your
53:23gut. Just trust your gut.
53:26Because people get too technical, they
53:28look at it too deeply when everything is
53:31right in front of your face.
53:34So,
53:35with this being said, I want to go over
53:37some rules that I like to use.
53:39First and foremost, I would love to say
53:41that ICC
53:44is not a
53:46strat. Like, oops. It's not a strat.
53:50It's just an easy way for me to explain
53:54market structure and price action to
53:55you.
53:56That's all it is. Nothing else, nothing
53:58more, right? I'm just trying to explain
54:00market structure to you cuz ICC is
54:02really indication, correction,
54:05continuation. But, it's really lower
54:07low, lower high, lower low.
54:11Right? So, with this being said,
54:13let's step into it. So, the first rule
54:17that I would love to explain to you guys
54:19is
54:20higher the time frame,
54:24more
54:26oops.
54:27More respect.
54:31That's it.
54:33I I got it. I feel like I got to say
54:34less words.
54:36I'mma say as less words as possible, but
54:38make the most sense. Higher the time
54:40frame, more respect.
54:43Right? Cuz we're talking about rules
54:45right now. So, let's go ahead and put
54:47this above there, too, so you don't
54:48forget. Rules.
54:50Higher the time frame, more respect. So,
54:53it respects the rules way more the
54:55higher the time frame you are.
54:58So, you may be asking, what are those
55:00rules? Okay.
55:02When, oops.
55:06Let's go ahead and take this.
55:07When price makes a
55:10higher low,
55:12it makes a higher high.
55:14When it makes a higher high, it makes a
55:17higher low.
55:18Kind of similar to like a math equation.
55:20So, in this case,
55:23if HH, higher high,
55:27equals
55:28higher low,
55:31then
55:32higher low equals HH.
55:36That's it.
55:38That's it.
55:40So, whenever you're in a trend
55:44I I don't know why I drew a downtrend.
55:46One second chart. Let's go ahead and
55:49reverse that.
55:54Right? Let's go ahead and reverse that
55:56right there.
56:03Hello.
56:04And
56:06higher low equals higher high. Right?
56:09So, if we're looking at an uptrend, we
56:11know that when a high is made, it's most
56:13likely going to make a low.
56:15When a higher low or higher high is
56:17made, it's going to make a higher low.
56:20And that's a trend.
56:21The higher the time frame, the more the
56:23respect of this.
56:25So,
56:26if
56:28LH, lower high
56:31equals lower low,
56:33then
56:35lower low equals
56:37lower high.
56:39Same thing.
56:41Same rules.
56:43Right?
56:44So, in this case,
56:46if I was looking at the chart, price
56:48would make a low,
56:50make a lower high,
56:52make a lower low.
56:53When it makes that lower low, it's
56:55looking to make a lower high.
56:57When it makes a lower high, it's looking
57:00to make a lower low.
57:01When it's looking to make a lower low,
57:04it looks to make a lower high.
57:06When it makes a lower high,
57:08it looks to make a lower low.
57:10That's it. Nothing else.
57:13That's it. Nothing else. So, when you
57:16have these rules, then you're not so
57:19scared of what current position you're
57:21in.
57:22And I'm going to help you break down
57:24pretty much what to do afterwards
57:26because identifying the trend is all
57:28visual work. Some people understand it,
57:30some people don't understand it. I
57:33personally think this is one of the
57:34easiest parts, but it also sets you up
57:36for a lot of things. Because one,
57:40we are talking about trends today, but
57:43just a little bit of information of
57:45indications, indications come from when
57:50lower lows
57:53are broken
57:57and when higher highs
58:00are
58:03broken.
58:05So, basically what I mean by broken is I
58:08mean that it just comes above that
58:10certain level. So, if we had a low, this
58:12is our low right here.
58:14So, let's just mark this out. If this
58:16was our low,
58:18anything under this becomes an
58:20indication.
58:21Which means that is a new lower low.
58:24When price makes something new, that is
58:26your indication.
58:27Right? And what is it indicating, you
58:29may ask?
58:30It's indicating you that from wherever
58:33it just broke out of,
58:35so if this was level 200,
58:40whenever price goes under 200, it's
58:44going to go to let's say this level is
58:48500.
58:50It's going to go to level 500. So, every
58:54time it goes under two, it's going to go
58:56to five.
58:57Let's going to do that the other way.
58:59Let's just say 50. Right? Cuz it's going
59:01down. So, the numbers should be going
59:03down.
59:05So, whenever price goes under 200,
59:08it goes to 50.
59:10That's an indication.
59:12It's letting us know, it's giving us
59:15information, it's giving us that that
59:18it's literally finishing your homework
59:20for you. It's telling you exactly from
59:22what level it's going to go to what
59:24level.
59:25Zone
59:27zone to zone.
59:30Zone to zone, that's it.
59:32One zone to the next zone.
59:34All you're trying to do is figure out
59:35when can you get in for that zone.
59:39Right? So, with that being said, that's
59:41the indication side of everything. Later
59:44on in a different video, I'mma explain
59:46pretty much the rest of everything, the
59:48continuations, the corrections that you
59:51have to look for, but I really want you
59:53to understand trends, right? I know it
59:55might sound simple to a lot of people or
59:58some people are still confused, but this
1:00:00is like one of the most important parts
1:00:02cuz this makes up everything else that
1:00:04we're going to go over pretty much in
1:00:05this whole series again. Uh just like
1:00:08the last time, I stressed this a lot
1:00:10that structure helps a lot. Structure
1:00:13helps a lot. So, to break down the trade
1:00:15that I'm currently in, if you follow me
1:00:17on Instagram, you know that I'm
1:00:18currently in gold sales. I got into gold
1:00:21sales a couple of days ago right around
1:00:23this level, and it's actually a perfect
1:00:26example on why higher time frames
1:00:28respect structure more. Cuz even though
1:00:32I got in a little bit late than where I
1:00:34should have, I got in a bit late.
1:00:38I got in a bit late, and price ended up
1:00:41Actually, I really got in a little bit
1:00:43early, but
1:00:45price ended up respecting structure,
1:00:47still creating a lower high, and then
1:00:49coming back and giving us another
1:00:51sell-off. So, basically, for the new
1:00:54newcomers, what I mean is
1:00:56there was a point where price was going
1:00:59up, of course.
1:01:00Then, we made a low.
1:01:03Then, we made a high, but this high is
1:01:06lower than this one. So, this high is
1:01:09way bigger than this this one down here.
1:01:12This high right here
1:01:13is under this one.
1:01:15So, that makes this a lower high.
1:01:18So, if LH
1:01:23LH
1:01:26equals LL.
1:01:32So, this is our LL.
1:01:35Then LH LL should equal LH.
1:01:39Which then it does. LH. So, then if LH
1:01:45equals LL, tell me what should happen
1:01:48next.
1:01:49Price should make an LL.
1:01:53That's it. We're not doing no complex
1:01:56math. We're not doing any crazy order
1:02:01blocks or
1:02:03we're not doing any patterns, chart
1:02:04patterns. We're not using bots,
1:02:06indicators, nothing. We're just looking
1:02:08at what price is giving us
1:02:11and we're breaking it down.
1:02:13That's all we're doing the whole time.
1:02:15If this is our high,
1:02:17when we hop on the chart, this is our
1:02:19high.
1:02:21Then this is our low.
1:02:27Right? This is our low.
1:02:29And we start here.
1:02:32We start here in this level. We have our
1:02:35high and then we have our low. Then
1:02:37price comes here and it makes a lower
1:02:39high.
1:02:42And a lower low.
1:02:44Mind you,
1:02:46let's go ahead and put this rule in here
1:02:48cuz I didn't I don't remember saying it
1:02:50at all.
1:02:53Actually, I I definitely did.
1:02:56But, let's just do it again.
1:02:58In a downtrend,
1:03:02there's only two different structures.
1:03:05A lower high
1:03:08and a lower low.
1:03:10That's the only two things. So, when you
1:03:12see one of these, it's most likely a
1:03:15downtrend. So, when you see a high,
1:03:17that's under a previous high, and this
1:03:20is a lower high,
1:03:21it's most likely a downtrend.
1:03:23If you see a lower low
1:03:25under a previous low,
1:03:26it's most likely a downtrend.
1:03:29You can only see LH and LL in a
1:03:32downtrend.
1:03:34That's it. Nothing else. So, when you
1:03:36see a LH,
1:03:37point at it, say downtrend.
1:03:39That's it. Keep it just like that.
1:03:41Downtrend.
1:03:42Right? Whenever you see
1:03:47HH
1:03:49and HL,
1:03:51you identify it immediately
1:03:54as an uptrend. That's it. Nothing else.
1:03:57We don't need anything else. That's it.
1:03:59So, if you see an HH, so if you see a
1:04:01high that's
1:04:03higher than the previous one,
1:04:05you say, "Hey, that's an uptrend. We're
1:04:07starting an uptrend. Let's start
1:04:08identifying where we can get in for an
1:04:10uptrend possibly."
1:04:12Right?
1:04:12That's it. Nothing else. You don't need
1:04:14to do anything crazy. All you need to do
1:04:16is identify where you're at in a trend.
1:04:19So, in this case,
1:04:22let's say
1:04:23we have that. So, in a downtrend, we can
1:04:25only have HH Ls
1:04:29or
1:04:30LH and LLs.
1:04:32In an uptrend, we can only have HH and
1:04:35HLs.
1:04:36So, higher highs and higher lows.
1:04:41Oof. Y'all stressed me out, man,
1:04:43already. It's only day one.
1:04:45All right. So, with this being said,
1:04:49from here,
1:04:52uh should I get into that right now?
1:04:55Let's Let's keep talking about Let's
1:04:57keep talking about trends. I want to get
1:04:58into indications so bad, but uh I really
1:05:01want you guys to knock this one knock
1:05:03this one out. If Let's Let's go ahead
1:05:05and give some some tips. If you do need
1:05:07um
1:05:09indicators,
1:05:10you can use pivot point high and low.
1:05:12So, I have these up here
1:05:14for teaching wise. If you really need
1:05:17help with putting on
1:05:20highs and lows, you can use this
1:05:24to pretty much get you to where you need
1:05:26to be.
1:05:27Right? And basically, what this is doing
1:05:29is marking out your highs and lows.
1:05:32I personally don't use this anymore cuz
1:05:34sometimes it's not marking up as you can
1:05:36see, it's not marking up certain highs.
1:05:38So, you kind of got to like
1:05:41keep going down cuz this is going based
1:05:43off the candles. So, let's go to three.
1:05:46It should give us a lot more, especially
1:05:48on a daily time frame. I forgot we're on
1:05:50a daily, but on the 4-hour it'll be a
1:05:52lot more. Yeah.
1:05:54That's what I thought.
1:05:56So, if you want to use pivot point high
1:05:58and low, you can definitely use that to
1:05:59help you identify the highs and lows if
1:06:02you are a beginner. As you can see, we
1:06:04put it down to three and it marked out
1:06:06pretty much everything I already had.
1:06:09High, low, high, low, high, and as you
1:06:14can see, it's most likely making a low.
1:06:17So, in simple terms, if these numbers
1:06:20are getting lower,
1:06:21that means price is going down. If these
1:06:23numbers are getting higher, that means
1:06:25price is going up.
1:06:28Uh let's see if I have any more tips.
1:06:30So, we have that one.
1:06:32Higher or high, low, higher low.
1:06:36Okay, I'm at lower high. I'm over here
1:06:38saying uptrends. I love buying price so
1:06:40much.
1:06:41People always be like, "You never sell."
1:06:44Hey man, look, now I'm selling.
1:06:46But,
1:06:48uh let's go over a little bit of the
1:06:49position that I was in. So, I ended up
1:06:52selling price at this level, a tad bit
1:06:54late than what I normally would do. But,
1:06:57as you can see, price ended up
1:06:58respecting the fact that this is the
1:07:00lower high. Price can play up in
1:07:03anywhere of this direction. So, if this
1:07:06is our lower high, this is our low,
1:07:08price indicated us, it corrected. It
1:07:10could correct all the way back to this
1:07:12level if it wanted to. It can correct it
1:07:14here. It could have corrected a little
1:07:16bit. As long as it doesn't break the
1:07:19structure, then everything is okay.
1:07:23Nothing to be afraid of.
1:07:25As long as price is respecting structure
1:07:27and not creating a higher low, you
1:07:30should feel 100% comfortable with
1:07:32trusting the time frame.
1:07:34So,
1:07:34higher the time frame, more the respect.
1:07:37Higher the time frame, more the respect.
1:07:40I only trade on a daily and 4-hour time
1:07:42frames for the most respect. You can
1:07:45trade on anything higher, but I
1:07:47I obviously like to trade, you know,
1:07:49every like once a week. So, daily time
1:07:52frame, 4-hour are like bread and butter.
1:07:56Um let me see if I'm forgetting anything
1:07:58else.
1:07:59I pretty much explained everything. When
1:08:00it comes to looking at highs and lows,
1:08:03everything is visual. Everything is
1:08:06literally visual.
1:08:09Don't try to overcomplicate looking at
1:08:11these tiny bitty candles here rejecting
1:08:14or this tiny bit of
1:08:15Literally just take your crosshair.
1:08:18Let's delete all this. Take your
1:08:19crosshair, go up
1:08:21until you see one direction where it
1:08:23just came into that and stopped.
1:08:27I can visually see that price came into
1:08:29this level and stopped.
1:08:33I can visually see that price came down
1:08:35to this level and stopped and went into
1:08:38a whole different direction. I can
1:08:39visually see it. If it helps you,
1:08:42take like 10 steps away from your
1:08:44screen. Literally, take a step back.
1:08:47Put your screen all the way somewhere
1:08:49else. Take 10 steps back and just look
1:08:53at the chart
1:08:54from from that distance.
1:08:57And then come back and mark what you see
1:08:59from a distance. I see this.
1:09:02I see this.
1:09:05I see this.
1:09:07Right? Take 10 steps back. Literally 10
1:09:10steps step all the way from your chart
1:09:13and then look at price from the distance
1:09:15and tell me the points that you see. You
1:09:17should literally see
1:09:20these
1:09:23like this. You should see a V here.
1:09:26You should see
1:09:28a V here.
1:09:30Right? A V here. It should look just
1:09:33like this. All just like this.
1:09:35You should literally see price come to a
1:09:36point and aggressively go in a different
1:09:39direction. Come to a point, aggressively
1:09:41go in a different direction. Those are
1:09:43your highs and lows. Those end points
1:09:45are your highs and lows.
1:09:47And these are very important because
1:09:49then once you mark them up you ask
1:09:52yourself
1:09:53are the highs getting lower
1:09:55or are the highs getting higher?
1:09:57Are the lows getting lower
1:09:59or are the lows getting higher? In this
1:10:01case, we can visually see that the highs
1:10:04are getting lower.
1:10:06So, that means these are lower highs
1:10:09because it's getting lower.
1:10:11All you're doing is doing this.
1:10:14Lower high.
1:10:16You're going from
1:10:18high to ask is it lower?
1:10:21That's it.
1:10:24Is the high getting lower?
1:10:27Is the high getting lower?
1:10:31So, if we had this
1:10:33higher low
1:10:36are the lows getting higher?
1:10:41Right?
1:10:42That's how you ask. Is the lows getting
1:10:45higher? And if you want to do it, you
1:10:46can do it this way to kind of signal
1:10:49uptrend if you want.
1:10:52Or actually, we could do it this way cuz
1:10:53this is going up.
1:10:56So, is the low getting higher? Boom.
1:11:01Matter of fact, I think I had it the
1:11:03right way, but hey, you get what I'm
1:11:04trying to say. Is the high getting lower
1:11:07or the low getting higher?
1:11:10So, pretty much this would be an
1:11:13uptrend.
1:11:16And pretty much this would be a
1:11:19downtrend.
1:11:23Right? And that's all we're looking for
1:11:25when it comes to trends. We're just
1:11:26trying to identify what this is first,
1:11:29so that way we can make a decision on
1:11:31where we need to be.
1:11:33Now, just a little
1:11:35I guess you could say sneak peek for the
1:11:37next lesson,
1:11:38that
1:11:39you identifying this will help you
1:11:41determine what part
1:11:44you need to play.
1:11:46Let's say price hasn't made any highs
1:11:49yet. That most likely means price does
1:11:52not have a lot of buyers in the market,
1:11:55and it is not the right time to buy
1:11:57anything.
1:11:59Right? So, that means we stay away. So,
1:12:02price comes to a level and it doesn't
1:12:04break a high.
1:12:05The moment it breaks a high, we're in
1:12:08our indication phase.
1:12:10The indication phase is normally going
1:12:12to come, or not even normally,
1:12:14indications can only come from breaking
1:12:17a higher high
1:12:21or
1:12:25breaking a lower low.
1:12:28So, both of the double letters.
1:12:30It can only come from breaking those,
1:12:32right?
1:12:33An indication is only classif- An
1:12:35indication is only identified as an
1:12:37indication if it breaks a lower low or a
1:12:40higher high.
1:12:42So, if you mark something up and this is
1:12:45your higher high,
1:12:46or if this is your high, or if this is
1:12:48your low,
1:12:49and price breaks it, you have to say,
1:12:51"Hey, that's an indication."
1:12:53But, to help you determine this,
1:12:57if it already broke this level before,
1:13:00it is normally a continuation.
1:13:03So,
1:13:04an indication is when it breaks for the
1:13:06first time.
1:13:09Let's go ahead and
1:13:11I'm not supposed to be telling y'all
1:13:12that. But, yeah. Indicate I'm not
1:13:14supposed to tell y'all this in this
1:13:15video cuz people might get confused.
1:13:18Indication breaks
1:13:21once.
1:13:24Let's say indication is when it breaks
1:13:30for the
1:13:33first time. Right? Breaks for the first
1:13:37time. But, like I said, I wasn't going
1:13:39to confuse y'all guys with any of this.
1:13:41Uh the biggest thing is to understand
1:13:44trends, understand how to identify them.
1:13:47Everything is visual. Literally, step
1:13:49away from your computer, take 10, 15 ft
1:13:52back, and look at your computer screen,
1:13:54look at your phone screen, and tell me
1:13:56exactly what movements that you see from
1:13:58a distance. Not the small little wicks,
1:14:01or not the If anything, you can even
1:14:03turn off the wicks, go to settings, come
1:14:06here, turn the wicks off, tell me what
1:14:09you see.
1:14:10Tell me what you see without the wicks.
1:14:12Tell me the jagged points that you see
1:14:14that are most likely highs and lows.
1:14:18With that being said, I'll see you guys
1:14:20tomorrow.
