How To Day Trade As A Complete Beginner — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00This exact strategy is what I use on a
- 0:02day-to-day basis and has been back
- 0:04tested thousands of times and every
- 0:06month that I tested it, it has been
- 0:08profitable in the long term. The core of
- 0:10this strategy uses supply and demand.
- 0:12Demand is the start of a strong move
- 0:13upwards. Supply is the start of a strong
- 0:16move downwards. The idea is pretty
- 0:18simple. You want to buy from zones where
- 0:20institutional buying and selling is
- 0:22occurring. You know, where the big bank
- 0:24boys are entering. Now, finding these
- 0:25levels is extremely easy. You simply
- 0:28find the candle before the strong move
- 0:30and mark the low to the high of that
- 0:32specific candle. You then wait for price
- 0:34to come back to that zone, enter your
- 0:36position, then proceed to make millions
- 0:38of dollars. But there's a huge problem.
- 0:41For example, if we look at this chart,
- 0:43there's an area of demand here, here,
- 0:45and here. So, which one do we use? Well,
- 0:47if you don't know the answer to that
- 0:49question, it could be the difference of
- 0:50you losing a trade and you winning one.
- 0:53So, going back to our example, we had
- 0:55three different demand zones. Zones 1
- 0:57and two are fake demand zones,
- 0:59persuading traders to enter there when
- 1:01in reality they just become the
- 1:03liquidity and help move price to the
- 1:05real zone, zone 3, and that's where
- 1:07price actually reverses. Now, you might
- 1:09be sitting there thinking, "Okay, cool.
- 1:11So, you basically just want to pick the
- 1:13lowest zone, and that's the one that has
- 1:15the highest probability of going up."
- 1:17While yes, lower prices is usually a
- 1:20good thing when trading, the lowest zone
- 1:22isn't always necessarily the best one.
- 1:24For example, here on this chart, we have
- 1:26two zones. If we waited for price to
- 1:28come to this lower zone, we would have
- 1:30never gotten into the trade because
- 1:32price came down to the strong zone, zone
- 1:34one, and it went upwards from here. So,
- 1:37how do we decipher which zones to
- 1:39choose? The answer,
- 1:43inducement. If you go on Google and
- 1:45search the word inducement, you will
- 1:47find the definition, a thing that
- 1:49persuades or influences someone to do
- 1:51something. If we find inducement on our
- 1:53chart, it will raise the probability of
- 1:55finding the strongest zone. The easiest
- 1:57way to do that is by finding liquidity.
- 1:59The simplest form of liquidity is just
- 2:02equal highs or equal lows. Whenever
- 2:04there's equal lows like this, there will
- 2:06naturally be loads of stop- losses below
- 2:08this level. The market is programmed to
- 2:11take out these stop- losses and then
- 2:12proceed to do the actual move and go up
- 2:15afterwards. So, if we go to this
- 2:16example, we have two demand zones. At
- 2:18zone one, we see right before the strong
- 2:21upwards move, price consolidated and
- 2:23made equal highs and equal lows. Meaning
- 2:26there's tons of resting liquidity below
- 2:28this demand zone. So as price comes down
- 2:30to this zone, lots of traders will enter
- 2:32as they think this is a strong zone.
- 2:35Then proceed to set their stop losses
- 2:37below these lows. So oftent times price
- 2:39will do a little upwards move from here,
- 2:41but then we'll want to proceed to take
- 2:43out liquidity. And where better to do
- 2:45that other than these equal lows. So
- 2:48price will end up breaking this
- 2:49inducement zone and move to the real
- 2:51zone, zone number two. But you may not
- 2:53always be lucky enough to get a clear
- 2:55example like this. Sometimes it'll be a
- 2:58little bit more tricky to identify the
- 3:00true zone. Another way to find the
- 3:02strongest zone is by identifying breaks
- 3:04of structure. So in this example, zone 2
- 3:07had so much strength that it broke the
- 3:09previous high. Meaning there was tons of
- 3:11buying power from this demand zone to
- 3:13give it strength to break the previous
- 3:15high. So we can identify this as a
- 3:18strong zone. But that would completely
- 3:20change if we had a scenario like this.
- 3:22In this scenario, zone 2 actually didn't
- 3:25have enough strength to break the
- 3:26structure of the previous high and
- 3:28actually failed while doing so. While
- 3:31zone one was the zone that actually had
- 3:33the institutional backing, giving it the
- 3:35power to break the previous high. So in
- 3:37this example, despite zone one being the
- 3:40higher demand zone, zone one is actually
- 3:42the stronger zone and is the one we
- 3:44would choose to enter a trade. The third
- 3:46trick in finding the true zone is fair
- 3:49value gaps. A fair value gap is simply
- 3:51just a three candle formation where
- 3:53price spikes up or down extremely fast
- 3:55and is untested by any wicks. The fair
- 3:58value gap is just the zone where price
- 4:00is untested. So right here, price will
- 4:03eventually want to test this zone again,
- 4:05then move back up afterwards. So knowing
- 4:07this, we can use it to our advantage.
- 4:09For example, here we have two different
- 4:11demand zones. So again, we're forced to
- 4:13answer the age-old question. Which zone
- 4:16do we choose? If we look closely, there
- 4:18was a fair value gap formed right above
- 4:20zone 2. And like I said before, price is
- 4:23naturally attracted to fair value gaps
- 4:26and we'll want to go to them. In order
- 4:28to do that, it would have to break
- 4:29through zone one. So we can instantly
- 4:32remove the idea of zone one being a
- 4:34strong zone as price will naturally want
- 4:36to come to this fair value gap and in
- 4:39order to do that it has to break through
- 4:40zone one. So now we have crafted a
- 4:43formula for finding powerful zones
- 4:45finding inducement zones made with equal
- 4:47highs and equal lows to generate
- 4:49liquidity zones that have strength from
- 4:51breaking structure and finding
- 4:52inducement zones based off fair value
- 4:54gaps. If we combine all of these tricks
- 4:56we will raise the probability of finding
- 4:58the best possible setups. So, let's put
- 5:01all we've learned to the test and do a
- 5:03reall life chart example. But before we
- 5:05get into that, let me show you
- 5:06something. I found a new broker,
- 5:09afx.com. And this is no ordinary broker.
- 5:12They offer forex, stocks, and crypto.
- 5:15Yes, a three for one. So, no matter what
- 5:17silly little thing you trade, they have
- 5:19it. Best part is they have 0%
- 5:22commissions. Yes, you heard me right. 0%
- 5:25commissions for all of your trades. So
- 5:27unlike most brokers where you have to
- 5:29pay fees for every single trade you
- 5:31take, I mean really sit down and think
- 5:33about it. If you're taking hundreds of
- 5:35trades, those fees can really add up to
- 5:37where you're paying hundreds, if not
- 5:39thousands of dollars on here. It's
- 5:41absolutely free. Plus, they're available
- 5:43in 176 different countries and fully
- 5:46regulated. If you want to try them out,
- 5:48use the link in my description and you
- 5:50will get unlimited 0% commissions if you
- 5:52use my link. You're welcome. Now, this
- 5:55strategy will work for all time frames,
- 5:57but I personally like to use it for the
- 5:591 hour or daily time frame as those
- 6:01supply and demand zones tend to hold the
- 6:03strongest. Here in this example, we have
- 6:05a clear uptrend with price making higher
- 6:07highs and higher lows. So, since we're
- 6:09in an uptrend, we only look for areas of
- 6:12demand. To find our areas of demand, we
- 6:14need to find the start of moves with
- 6:16strong impulses. So, there's an area of
- 6:18demand here, here, and here. So, we now
- 6:21have all of our potential demand zones,
- 6:23but not all of them are valid. If you
- 6:25were trading this chart, which one would
- 6:27you choose? Would it be zone 1, 2, or
- 6:30three? Now, right away, we can remove
- 6:32zone one. The reason being is there's a
- 6:34fair value gap right above zone 2. And
- 6:37like I said before, price will naturally
- 6:39want to come to this fair value gap. And
- 6:41in order to do that, it'll have to break
- 6:43through zone one. So, we can instantly
- 6:46remove this as an option. That leaves us
- 6:48with two zones to choose from. Now,
- 6:49which one do you think we should trade
- 6:51from? You may be thinking it's zone 3.
- 6:53Considering what I just said, there's
- 6:55also a fair value gap down here, meaning
- 6:58price would have to break through zone 2
- 7:00in order to get to that. But if we look
- 7:01closely at our chart, something
- 7:03interesting is happening. As you can
- 7:05see, our previous high is marked out
- 7:07right here. And if we look closely, zone
- 7:093 didn't have the strength to break this
- 7:11high. The zone that did end up breaking
- 7:13this high was zone two, meaning zone two
- 7:16is actually our stronger zone. We then
- 7:19proceed to wait for price to come to the
- 7:21zone. Enter as soon as it does. Put your
- 7:23stop loss below the demand zone and set
- 7:26your takerit at the recent high. Let the
- 7:28trade play out. And zone two was indeed
- 7:30our strongest zone. Here's another
- 7:32example. Here we have the start of a
- 7:34reversal to the downside. So this time
- 7:36we'll look for short trades and areas of
- 7:39supply. Now while looking at this chart,
- 7:41I immediately see two areas of supply.
- 7:44One right here and one right here. Which
- 7:46one should we use? Well, both of these
- 7:48zones broke the previous structure. So,
- 7:51both of them passed that test. Zone two,
- 7:53before creating its strong downwards
- 7:55move made these equal highs. And like I
- 7:58said before, whenever there's
- 7:59consolidation or equal highs, that will
- 8:02create liquidity above these equal highs
- 8:04as traders will set their stop- losses
- 8:07above them and price will naturally want
- 8:09to take out these equal highs. Also,
- 8:11there's a fair value gap above by zone
- 8:14one. So that's a whole another reason on
- 8:16why not to use zone 2. So we choose zone
- 8:19one. We see what price does. It
- 8:21hesitates at zone two because all these
- 8:24traders think this is the correct zone.
- 8:26But for the reasons I mentioned before,
- 8:28we know it's an inducement zone. Price
- 8:30then proceeds to break all these equal
- 8:32highs, grab all of this liquidity. We
- 8:35enter a short trade, set our stop loss
- 8:37above the area of supply, set our
- 8:39takerit at the lows, and get a beautiful
- 8:41winning trade. Let's do one last final
- 8:44example. Here we have a downtrend. Since
- 8:46we're in a downtrend, we'll look for
- 8:47areas of supply. Right? When I look at
- 8:49this, I see an area of supply right
- 8:51here, here, here, and here. So, we have
- 8:54a total of four areas of supply. But
- 8:56which one do we choose? All of them
- 8:58created a break of structure. So, we're
- 9:00good in that regard. When first looking
- 9:02at this, I see something very
- 9:04interesting. We see equal highs at this
- 9:06area of supply. So we can instantly
- 9:07remove zone one as price will want to
- 9:10naturally take out this easy liquidity
- 9:12at these equal highs. And in order to do
- 9:14that, it has to break through zone one.
- 9:16Zone two is an inducement zone. Lots of
- 9:19traders will enter here thinking this is
- 9:21the correct zone. But like I said
- 9:23before, there's equal highs here. And
- 9:25since this is an inducement zone, it'll
- 9:27add even more liquidity. So we'll take
- 9:29out zone 2. That leaves us with two
- 9:31zones. Which one do you think it is? If
- 9:34you guess zone 3, you would be
- 9:35absolutely wrong as again there are
- 9:38equal highs here creating natural
- 9:40liquidity making zone 3 an inducement
- 9:42zone. So now we know zone 4 is the real
- 9:45zone. Let's see what price does. It
- 9:47breaks through zone one instantly coming
- 9:49to zone 2, the inducement zone,
- 9:51hesitates, then proceeds to grab all the
- 9:54liquidity, giving it fuel to head
- 9:56higher. It then goes to zone 3, grabs
- 9:58even more liquidity, then moves to the
- 10:00real zone, zone 4. We enter a short
- 10:03trade, set our stop loss above the
- 10:05supply zone, set our take-profit at the
- 10:07low, watch the trade play out, and we
- 10:09get another winning trade. Liquidity
- 10:11breaks a structure in fair value gaps.
- 10:14Implement this in your trading and watch
- 10:16your trading balance grow. Induce me.
