Full transcript
- 0:00If I had to learn day trading from
- 0:01scratch while working a full-time job,
- 0:03this is exactly how I'd do it. My name
- 0:05is Juvier and this skill makes me over
- 0:07six figures a month. And in this video,
- 0:09I'm going to walk you through what day
- 0:11trading is, the platforms that you need,
- 0:13how to read the charts, and the exact
- 0:15one trade a day strategy that I'd use
- 0:18around a full-time job. I'm also going
- 0:20to run you through a bunch of trade
- 0:22examples so that you see exactly how it
- 0:24works and you understand it enough to
- 0:26start implementing it for yourself. Now,
- 0:28it's important that you understand that
- 0:29trading is not a get-rich-quick thing
- 0:31and it honestly took me over 3 years to
- 0:33get to the point that I'm at now. But if
- 0:35I was working 9-5 or full-time job, this
- 0:38is exactly what I'd do to get more
- 0:40freedom. So with that being said, grab
- 0:41yourself a notebook, some snacks, some
- 0:43water, and honestly before we hop into
- 0:45this, I highly suggest you send this
- 0:47video to a friend, family member, or
- 0:49group chat with anybody that has a
- 0:51full-time job or is working a 9-5
- 0:53because being able to learn this
- 0:55alongside somebody else or a group of
- 0:57people is very very beneficial because
- 0:59you guys can all hold each other
- 1:00accountable and learn from each other.
- 1:02So go ahead and send it to whatever
- 1:04person you're thinking about right now
- 1:05so you guys can go on this entire
- 1:07journey together and start seeing
- 1:08success together. With that being said,
- 1:10let's get right into this.
- 1:13Now, I mentioned that my name is Juvier
- 1:15and if you don't know me, let me
- 1:17introduce myself. I've been trading for
- 1:18over 9 years now and I honestly got into
- 1:21trading because I didn't want to live a
- 1:23normal life. I wanted to be able to have
- 1:24freedom, time freedom, location freedom,
- 1:27and financial freedom and trading was
- 1:29that vehicle for me. Now, over the last
- 1:319 years, I've not just been able to make
- 1:33multiple seven figures with trading, but
- 1:35I've also been able to help over 800,000
- 1:37people learn this exact skill and I try
- 1:40and do it in a way that is simple enough
- 1:42for even a 12-year-old to understand it.
- 1:44And trust me, I'm not just saying that,
- 1:46I've actually taught a 12-year-old how
- 1:47to trade. So if you're older than 12,
- 1:49you probably stand a good chance here.
- 1:51So no matter if this is your first time
- 1:52ever hearing about day trading or you've
- 1:54been trying it for a while but just
- 1:56can't seem to understand it, I'm going
- 1:57to break everything down from complete
- 2:00beginner all the way up to advanced
- 2:01trader so that you leave this video with
- 2:03everything you know to start seeing
- 2:05success. Now, before we hop into
- 2:07everything, I need to lay the foundation
- 2:08and make sure that you understand
- 2:09exactly what day trading actually is.
- 2:12Day trading is not like what your
- 2:14grandparents or your parents might have
- 2:15told you that you should have done when
- 2:16you're younger, which is buying stocks
- 2:18and holding it for years and just hoping
- 2:20that it goes up over time. Day trading,
- 2:23or us as day traders, we are getting in
- 2:25the market and waiting for small moves
- 2:27to happen and making money off those
- 2:29small moves. And there's a couple
- 2:31reasons why day trading is better. First
- 2:33of all, with regular investing that
- 2:35you've probably heard about all over,
- 2:37you need a lot of capital for it to make
- 2:38sense. With day trading, you don't.
- 2:40Another reason why day trading is very
- 2:42beneficial is cuz you don't need to have
- 2:45the markets move a huge amount. As long
- 2:47as the market moves a little bit, and
- 2:48we'll talk about this a little bit later
- 2:50on cuz you can make money when the
- 2:51market goes up or the market goes down,
- 2:53but as long as the market moves, you can
- 2:55actually make money no matter how small
- 2:57the move is and no matter how big the
- 2:59move is. So, essentially, day trading is
- 3:01just getting out of trades really within
- 3:03a minute all the way up to around a few
- 3:06hours of each trade. So, to be
- 3:08completely clear, day trading and us as
- 3:11day traders, we're not holding trades
- 3:12for months and years. Most of the time
- 3:15we're in and out of trades and sometimes
- 3:175 minutes all the way up to a few hours.
- 3:20Now, before we get into all the
- 3:21different platforms and the strategies
- 3:23and all the things like that, I want to
- 3:24break a couple myths that you probably
- 3:26believe and they're circling all over
- 3:28the web. First of all, is day trading
- 3:30even legit? Yes, real money is what you
- 3:33can make with trading. You can withdraw
- 3:35it, you could pay your rent with it, you
- 3:36could buy sneakers, you could pay your
- 3:38tuition, you can do whatever you want
- 3:39with it. This is 100% real. Now, another
- 3:42myth that I hear is that you need
- 3:43hundreds of thousands of dollars to
- 3:45start and that's not true at all. And
- 3:46we'll talk about this later on where
- 3:48I'll explain to you exactly how you can
- 3:50get started and use other people's money
- 3:52so you don't even have to risk your own
- 3:54money. Now, the third major myth that I
- 3:56hear all the time is that you need to
- 3:58spend hours every single day trading.
- 4:01And I'll be honest, that couldn't be
- 4:02further from the truth. Once you learn
- 4:04this skill, yes, it is a skill that you
- 4:06have to learn, but once you learn it,
- 4:07you can spend 30 minutes a day. That's
- 4:10exactly how I trade and how I teach
- 4:11other people to trade. It's just
- 4:13spending max 30 minutes a day on the
- 4:15charts, making your money, and going
- 4:17about your day. Again, I told you guys
- 4:19my entire reason for getting into
- 4:21trading was so I can have freedom. Not
- 4:23just the financial freedom, but also the
- 4:25time freedom and the location freedom.
- 4:27So, I'm able to make my money within the
- 4:29first 30 minutes of the day, most of the
- 4:31time before most people even wake up.
- 4:33And we're going to dive into my exact
- 4:34system later on in this video because it
- 4:36works perfectly for anybody that has a
- 4:38full-time job. Another myth that I hear
- 4:40a lot is that you need some type of
- 4:41crazy setup to start trading. And that's
- 4:43couldn't be further from the truth
- 4:45again. Reason being, as long as you have
- 4:47internet and a computer, you can trade.
- 4:49Even if you just have a phone, you can
- 4:51trade. Now, I don't suggest you learn
- 4:52how to trade on your phone just cuz the
- 4:54screen is so small. I'm sure it's people
- 4:56out there that do it. I personally don't
- 4:58think I think it's a little bit harder
- 4:59to learn on a phone, but as long as you
- 5:00have a laptop that works. It doesn't
- 5:02have to be some expensive gaming laptop
- 5:05or anything. As long as it has internet
- 5:07and you can press buttons on it, you can
- 5:08learn how to trade from it and you can
- 5:10trade on it. Then again, once you get
- 5:12good at the skill, you can trade from
- 5:14your phone. I've personally made
- 5:15hundreds of thousands of dollars trading
- 5:17straight from my phone. So, now that you
- 5:18guys understand exactly what day trading
- 5:20is and I've busted some myths that
- 5:22hopefully you do not believe anymore,
- 5:25let's hop into the first part of this,
- 5:27which probably is the most important
- 5:28part. And that's the platform section
- 5:30you need. Let's go. All right, so here
- 5:32we are. You really only need two
- 5:33platforms. The first one is called
- 5:35TradingView. This is where we're going
- 5:37to do all of our charting on. This is
- 5:39where we plan out our trades. This is
- 5:40where we You'll see these little
- 5:42candlesticks, which we'll go over here
- 5:43in a second. Um this is how you
- 5:45basically make an entire game plan for
- 5:47when you're going to buy or sell
- 5:49something. And TradeOgre, this is the
- 5:51other platform that you'll need. This is
- 5:52simply a brokerage. And all that means
- 5:55is Think of it as a bank account that
- 5:57you trade from. They simply hold your
- 5:59money. This is where you would actually
- 6:00execute your trades on after you've
- 6:02planned them out on TradingView. So,
- 6:04it's really just these two platforms
- 6:05that you need, but we're going to start
- 6:07over here on TradingView. And just a fun
- 6:09little fact, when you have a Tradevette
- 6:11account and you have your brokerage
- 6:13account, which remember is simply just
- 6:15like a bank account, you can actually
- 6:16connect that brokerage straight to
- 6:18TradingView. And while you're charting
- 6:20up your trades on TradingView and
- 6:22planning out your trades, you can also
- 6:24enter it straight on TradingView. But,
- 6:26that's a little Easter egg for later
- 6:27down the line. So, once you've gone
- 6:29ahead and created your account on
- 6:31TradingView, I'm not going to walk you
- 6:32through how to do that. I'm sure you
- 6:33guys all you guys have all created
- 6:34accounts on many platforms before. You
- 6:36just put your information on that. Once
- 6:38you've created an account, you're going
- 6:39to get to a page that looks like this.
- 6:41Now, I want to walk you guys through how
- 6:42to use TradingView so you understand
- 6:44everything that it has to offer and why
- 6:46it's so beneficial for every single
- 6:48trader. But, once you're on this page
- 6:49here, you're going to want to hover over
- 6:51products right here and go to super
- 6:53charts. Now, there this is where you
- 6:55you've probably seen these online if
- 6:56you've heard anything about day trading,
- 6:58you'll see this chart with these green
- 7:00and red things on your screen. These are
- 7:03called candlesticks, and in a little bit
- 7:04I'm going to break down what these mean.
- 7:06A lot of people overcomplicate it.
- 7:08They're very, very, very simple. Trust
- 7:10me, I know it looks like Chinese right
- 7:11now. When I first started off trading,
- 7:13this looked like not even Chinese. It
- 7:15looked like alien language. I don't
- 7:17know. But, it's very, very simple and
- 7:19it's very, very easy to understand. I'm
- 7:21going to break it down very simply. But,
- 7:22once you're here on this chart, you see
- 7:24your candlesticks, you can actually
- 7:26choose what chart you actually want to
- 7:29look at or what underlying asset you
- 7:31actually want to look at. When it comes
- 7:32to day trading, we can trade a lot of
- 7:34things. We can trade stocks, we can day
- 7:36trade futures, we can trade options, we
- 7:38can trade crypto. There's so many
- 7:40different things that we can trade, and
- 7:42this top left corner over here is how
- 7:44you choose what underlying asset you
- 7:46want to look at. If I were to come up
- 7:47here and say I want to look at a Bitcoin
- 7:49chart and look at the price of Bitcoin
- 7:51and try and trade Bitcoin, I can do
- 7:53that. And then this would show me the
- 7:55price action or the candlesticks of
- 7:58Bitcoin. Now, for this example, we're
- 8:00going to trade something called NQ. If
- 8:03you've ever heard of the Nasdaq or the
- 8:05NAS 100, this is simply what this is,
- 8:08and this is just a futures version of
- 8:10it, meaning you trade futures contracts.
- 8:13Um I mainly trade futures.
- 8:15Futures is probably the easiest
- 8:17uh trading market to get into as a
- 8:19beginner. So, that's why we're going to
- 8:20do this entire example on the NQ chart.
- 8:24Now, you see all these buttons and
- 8:26indicators on the side. I want to walk
- 8:27through these really quickly so you
- 8:28understand exactly what they all mean,
- 8:30and then we'll go over the candlesticks
- 8:31so you completely understand this as
- 8:32well. We'll start over here on the left.
- 8:34These are all just drawing tools.
- 8:36Remember, this is a charting platform
- 8:38where we're able to come on here and
- 8:39actually plan out our trades, see when
- 8:41we want to enter a trade, see when we
- 8:43want to what we think the market is
- 8:45going to do, whether it's going to go up
- 8:47or down. And these little drawing tools
- 8:49just allow us to visualize that. So,
- 8:51you'll see there's trend lines right
- 8:52here. You can press this, and you can
- 8:54draw basically a line on your chart. You
- 8:57can hit this drop-down. There's a bunch
- 8:58of things that you can draw, and it's
- 9:00going to be the same for basically all
- 9:01of these little drawing tools. You have
- 9:03this little brush. If you want to draw
- 9:05something on your chart.
- 9:08That was very random. But if you want to
- 9:10draw something on your chart, you can
- 9:12use this text tool to type anything. Um
- 9:14so, there's a bunch of different options
- 9:15that you have over here. You'll see that
- 9:18I have this little floating bar that has
- 9:19all my favorite drawing tools. So, all
- 9:21you would do to have that on your chart
- 9:23is very simply, is let's say you always
- 9:25use trend line. You just press this
- 9:26little star next to it, and that will
- 9:28add it to your favorites, and you'd have
- 9:29it up here. That way you don't have to
- 9:31go searching for it on this bar. Now,
- 9:33there's a bunch of other buttons over
- 9:34here like a ruler that lets you measure
- 9:37um the distance and things like that, or
- 9:39magnifying glass to zoom in. All of
- 9:41these things you don't really need to
- 9:42worry about right now. We're going to
- 9:44focus on the main points of this. So,
- 9:46these are all just drawing tools. As I
- 9:48mentioned, you can put shapes and sizes
- 9:49on there as well. And then, um on the
- 9:51top over here, you'll see, depending if
- 9:54you're just starting off or if you
- 9:55haven't opened up TradingView before,
- 9:57you might see different figures. But
- 9:59when you see 1M or 5M, this simply means
- 10:02you're on the 1-minute time frame chart
- 10:04or the 5-minute time frame chart or the
- 10:0615-minute chart. When you see 1H, that
- 10:08means you're on the 1 hour time frame. 4
- 10:11H is a 4 hour time frame. D is the daily
- 10:14time frame. You might be asking what the
- 10:16heck does time frame even mean? Trust
- 10:18me, we're going to get into all of that
- 10:19here in a second. I just want you to be
- 10:21clear about what it is that you see up
- 10:23here. You can hit this drop down and
- 10:25actually look at multiple other time
- 10:27frames. And it's the same favoring type
- 10:29of system that I talked about before,
- 10:31where if you always use the 1 minute
- 10:32charts or the 5 minute chart, you can
- 10:34just press the little star next to it to
- 10:36add it to your favorites. And that's how
- 10:37it sticks up here. And then over here,
- 10:40you'll probably only see regular
- 10:41candlestick charts. This is how we're
- 10:43able to change the type of graph we're
- 10:44looking at. These are candlestick
- 10:46charts, which is what most traders use.
- 10:49You can also use line charts, which you
- 10:51might have seen before.
- 10:53You can use area charts. You can use
- 10:56step line charts. Whatever you want to
- 10:58use, this is where you would choose what
- 11:00type of chart it is that you want to
- 11:02look at. But for this entire example,
- 11:04we're going going to be using regular
- 11:06candles chart.
- 11:08And over here is indicators. These are
- 11:10essentially, think of them like
- 11:11sidekicks. A lot of new traders,
- 11:14especially, come into the markets and
- 11:15they think if they add all these
- 11:17indicators onto the charts, that it'll
- 11:19somehow make them an amazing trader.
- 11:21That is most of the time 100% wrong.
- 11:24Indicators are just supposed to be extra
- 11:26pieces of confirmation
- 11:28um to show you what's going on in the
- 11:30market. We're not going to worry about
- 11:31too many indicators. Later on when we go
- 11:33over the strategy that I suggest using
- 11:35for anybody that works a full-time job,
- 11:38I'm going to tell you the one indicator
- 11:39that you need. It's very simple. But
- 11:41other than that, you can press this and
- 11:43see there's thousands of indicators that
- 11:46you can go through and look at. It's
- 11:48honestly an endless amount. I just don't
- 11:49want you to get stuck going through all
- 11:51these indicators thinking like that an
- 11:53indicator is going to make you
- 11:54profitable or successful because it will
- 11:56not. All it will do is be a sidekick and
- 11:59help you out a little bit. Uh if you're
- 12:01using the right indicator for the
- 12:02strategy that you are trading. Then over
- 12:05here you have this button if you wanted
- 12:07to have what uh template. Let's say you
- 12:09always use three or four indicators. You
- 12:11can create a little template so it pops
- 12:13up automatically. Here, you can use
- 12:15alerts, which we'll talk about here in a
- 12:17second when we talk about the strategy
- 12:19and how um this honestly using alerts is
- 12:22how I'm able to trade for really like 20
- 12:24minutes to 30 minutes a day. And then we
- 12:26have a replay feature button over here.
- 12:28You don't need to worry about that right
- 12:29now, either. Then on the right side over
- 12:31here, you'll see your watch list.
- 12:34This is essentially if um you're always
- 12:36trading specific assets, you can add it
- 12:38to your watch list, that way you can
- 12:40easily go to them. As you see, right now
- 12:42we're on NQ. I a lot of times I'll trade
- 12:45ES as well or YM. If I always trade,
- 12:49let's say
- 12:50Solana
- 12:51or Ethereum, right? I can add it to my
- 12:54watch list as well, so it'll pop up here
- 12:57and I can easily click on that chart and
- 12:59go to it. Um that's simply all that is
- 13:02on the right side over here. Now, keep
- 13:04in mind, that's essentially all the main
- 13:06things that you need to understand about
- 13:07your chart specifically and all the
- 13:09different tools on here. We're about to
- 13:10hop into exactly what these candlesticks
- 13:12here mean, but please understand that
- 13:14your chart might look a little bit
- 13:15different than mine. Mine is black um on
- 13:17the background. All that is is just
- 13:19changing your settings, then it doesn't
- 13:21really do anything. And how you change
- 13:22your settings, you can customize them
- 13:24however you want. You would just
- 13:25right-click on your chart here and press
- 13:27settings.
- 13:29And then under canvas, you can change
- 13:30the color of your background. If I want
- 13:32it to be white, that is ugly, hence the
- 13:34reason I have black. You can make it any
- 13:36color you want. You can honestly play
- 13:38around with all these different things.
- 13:39You can change the colors of these
- 13:41candlesticks if you want it as well. Um
- 13:43but that's neither here nor there. Let's
- 13:46hop into one of the most important parts
- 13:48of trading, which is being able to
- 13:50understand these candlesticks. So, when
- 13:53it comes to these candlesticks, there's
- 13:55really two things that you need to
- 13:56understand. And that is the body, which
- 13:59is this thick part of the candlestick,
- 14:01and then the wick, which is the skinny
- 14:02lines that you see at the top and the
- 14:04bottom of each of these candlesticks.
- 14:06Now, remember we talked about time
- 14:09frames over here.
- 14:10These time frames specifically when when
- 14:12we choose, let's say the 1-hour time
- 14:14frame, each of these candlesticks is
- 14:16showing us what price is doing within 1
- 14:19hour. So, as you see here, if you look
- 14:20at the bottom of the screen, you see it
- 14:22says Friday, 16th October 2026. This is
- 14:25the 8:00 candlestick because I'm on the
- 14:27one-hour time frame chart. If I were to
- 14:29hover over the second the next
- 14:30candlestick, that's the 9:00
- 14:32candlestick. If I hover over the second
- 14:34one after that, that's the 10:00
- 14:36candlestick. Now, if I switch over till
- 14:38let's say the 5-minute time frame
- 14:40candlestick and I hover over this
- 14:42candlestick, this is the 2:00 p.m.
- 14:45candlestick. If I go before that, since
- 14:47it's the 5-minute candlestick time
- 14:48frame,
- 14:49this is the 1:55 candlestick, then the
- 14:531:50, then the 1:45, and so on and so on
- 14:56and so on. So, when you're on these
- 14:57specific time frames, we'll go back to
- 14:59the one-hour time frame. This is showing
- 15:01us what price is doing within the period
- 15:03of 1 hour or whatever the time frame it
- 15:06is. Now, what does that even mean? So,
- 15:09at the start of every candlestick, the
- 15:11body will decide to start at the bottom
- 15:14or the top of a candlestick.
- 15:18Now, the body of the candlestick is
- 15:20always showing the open and the close,
- 15:23meaning where did price start at and
- 15:25where did price end at? So, on this
- 15:27candlestick right here, the top of the
- 15:29body of the candlestick is showing where
- 15:31price started at. So, right at 8:00
- 15:33a.m., price was right here. If we draw a
- 15:36line here,
- 15:38we can see this is where price was at,
- 15:41meaning the price of NQ was 30,064.75.
- 15:48So, that's where it started at. Now, we
- 15:50see the bottom of the body on this red
- 15:53candlestick. Keep in mind, red
- 15:54candlesticks are called bearish
- 15:56candlesticks. So, if you hear me say
- 15:57bearish, I mean red candlesticks or
- 15:59candlesticks that went down. Green
- 16:02candlesticks are called bullish
- 16:03candlesticks. Bullish candlesticks are
- 16:06candlesticks that went up. And when I
- 16:08say went up or went down, we're talking
- 16:10about from when it started to when it
- 16:11ended. So, we see price started up here
- 16:14where it was 30,064
- 16:16and then price ended down here. It
- 16:19closed down here, which is at 29,838.
- 16:24So, it went down. So, this is a bearish
- 16:26candle. Um the top of the body of a
- 16:28bearish candlestick of a red candlestick
- 16:30tells you exactly where price started at
- 16:31at the beginning of that candlestick.
- 16:34And then, the bottom of a bearish
- 16:36candlestick shows you where price ended
- 16:39at at the end of that candlestick.
- 16:42Now, these skinny lines that you see at
- 16:43the top, these are called the wicks of a
- 16:46candlestick. The wicks are showing us
- 16:48where price went throughout that
- 16:50candlestick, meaning throughout that
- 16:52time frame. So, yes, price started up
- 16:54here, and price ended down here, but at
- 16:56one point, price was also down here. At
- 16:59one point, price was up here.
- 17:02That's what the wicks are telling us,
- 17:04and that's why you see all these
- 17:05different candlesticks have different
- 17:07size wicks and different size bodies.
- 17:10Now, I mentioned to you guys that the
- 17:11top of the body of a bearish candlestick
- 17:14is where price started at, and the
- 17:15bottom is where price ended at. With a
- 17:17bullish candlestick or green
- 17:19candlestick, the bottom of the body is
- 17:22where price started at, and the top of
- 17:24the body is where price ended at. That's
- 17:26why it's a green candlestick, because it
- 17:28started down here,
- 17:30and then, it ended up here, meaning it
- 17:33ended higher than it started, so that
- 17:35means price went up. Now, obviously,
- 17:37we're looking at the wicks here, and you
- 17:39guys now understand that even though
- 17:40price started here and ended here, at
- 17:43one point, price was down here,
- 17:46and at one point, price was up here. So,
- 17:49we can see the story of what price is
- 17:51showing us by these candlesticks. Now, I
- 17:54want to go to the 1-minute chart right
- 17:56here, just so you guys can see that as
- 17:58price changes or as each 1-minute
- 18:00candlestick changes, this is obviously
- 18:03showing us the price action that
- 18:04happened within 1 minute. Like, this is
- 18:06the 2:03 candlestick, this is the 2:02
- 18:08candlestick, and this new candlestick
- 18:10that just started is the 2:04
- 18:12candlestick. And we saw that on this
- 18:15bearish candlestick, and keep in mind,
- 18:16every candlestick starts where the last
- 18:18one ended. So, on a bearish candlestick,
- 18:21the next candlestick will start right at
- 18:23the bottom of the body. On a bullish
- 18:25candlestick, the um candlestick will
- 18:27then start at the top of the body. Just
- 18:30like in this example, we had this
- 18:32candlestick right here. Price ended up
- 18:34here, and the next one started up here.
- 18:37And you're going to see here in 14
- 18:38seconds, 13 seconds, where price ends
- 18:41at, and then where price starts at. And
- 18:43then you'll see obviously throughout
- 18:44this candlestick that we made wicks at
- 18:46the top cuz we got up here at one point,
- 18:48and we got down here at one point. But
- 18:50then price ended right here, and then
- 18:52the new candlestick started right here.
- 18:54If you guys just saw that switch over.
- 18:57And then this will continue to happen
- 18:59depending on what time frame you're on.
- 19:00Obviously, new candlesticks will appear
- 19:02every 1 minute when we're on the
- 19:041-minute time frame, every 15 minutes
- 19:06when we're on the 15-minute time frame,
- 19:08and so on and so on and so on. So, to
- 19:10make it clear, these candlesticks are
- 19:12simply just telling us the story of
- 19:14where price has been, where the price
- 19:16went up, where the price went down.
- 19:19Where did price go? Was it all the way
- 19:21up here at one point? Was it all the way
- 19:22down here at this point? Where did it
- 19:24start at? Where did it end at? And being
- 19:26able to see that and understand that
- 19:28helps us to gauge and see the different
- 19:30patterns that price might be making. And
- 19:32we'll get into that bit later on when we
- 19:34start going over the strategy. All
- 19:36right. So, now that you understand
- 19:37candlesticks, you understand that
- 19:38they're telling you the story, you
- 19:40understand what story they're telling
- 19:42you how to decipher that story, you can
- 19:44obviously see there's all different
- 19:45types of shapes and sizes, ones that
- 19:47have small bodies with big wicks, big
- 19:49wicks and big bodies. So, you'll see a
- 19:51bunch of these different size
- 19:53candlesticks and different shapes, but
- 19:55they're all just essentially telling you
- 19:56the same story. Where did price start
- 19:58at? Where did price end at? And what did
- 20:00price do during that time window or that
- 20:02time frame that you are currently on.
- 20:04Now, I'll be 100% honest. Once you
- 20:06understand that, you are essentially
- 20:08halfway the way there, especially when
- 20:09it comes to the strategy that I'm going
- 20:11to be showing you guys later on inside
- 20:13of this video. But before we do that,
- 20:15you need to understand another important
- 20:17part about trading. And that is trading
- 20:20sessions. So, So there are three trading
- 20:23sessions. There's the Asia session,
- 20:25there's the London session, and then
- 20:27there is the New York session. Now,
- 20:29think of these like this is when people
- 20:32are working. Keep in mind, when we're
- 20:33trading, when you just saw these
- 20:34candlesticks going up and down, that's
- 20:36not you and me as
- 20:39what's called retail traders buying or
- 20:41selling something. We're not making the
- 20:43market move. When you buy one Bitcoin,
- 20:45or if you buy $100 worth of Bitcoin,
- 20:47you're not making the price of Bitcoin
- 20:48go up. The people that are making the
- 20:51prices of these stocks or these Bitcoins
- 20:55or cryptocurrencies, the people that are
- 20:56making those things move are big hedge
- 20:59funds, big banks. I'm talking about
- 21:00people that are trading hundreds of
- 21:02millions of dollars, not you trading
- 21:0410,000, 50,000, even $100,000 or a
- 21:07million dollars. You're not moving the
- 21:08markets. These banks, institutions,
- 21:11algorithms, hedge funds, they're what's
- 21:13moving the markets. And just like we all
- 21:16have 9-5s or full-time jobs, they do
- 21:19too. They are bankers that have
- 21:20full-time time jobs, and they're clocked
- 21:22in in specific hours. And this is the
- 21:24hours that they're clocked in. Because
- 21:26when they're clocked in, that's when
- 21:27majority of the volume happens because
- 21:29they're moving the market. They are
- 21:30trading. So the Asia session, keep in
- 21:33mind, all these times are in Eastern
- 21:34Standard Time. So if you're in a
- 21:35different time zone, just calculate it
- 21:37to your time zone. But Asia session is
- 21:40from 7:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. That's when
- 21:43they are trading. Then there's the
- 21:45London session.
- 21:47That's from 4:00 a.m. till 12:00 p.m.
- 21:50Then there's the New York session.
- 21:51That's from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Now,
- 21:54all of them are have a different amount
- 21:57different amounts of volume. Most of
- 21:58them are moving or all of them have more
- 22:00movement or less movement. And this is
- 22:02kind of how it's ranked. So Asia
- 22:04session, they're they're still big banks
- 22:07and hedge funds and all that stuff. They
- 22:08just don't have as much move They don't
- 22:11cause as much movement cuz there's not
- 22:13as much traders. So during Asia session,
- 22:16that window that we just went over from
- 22:177:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., the market will
- 22:19still move, but it's just going to be
- 22:21moving the least. Then there's London
- 22:23session. This is the second most
- 22:25volatile session. This is when there is
- 22:28a lot of movement, but for most of us,
- 22:30it's from 4:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The
- 22:32beginning of it is usually when majority
- 22:34people are sleeping or just now getting
- 22:36their day started. And then there's the
- 22:38New York session, the big dog. That's
- 22:40when there's the most amount of movement
- 22:42possible, meaning that's when majority
- 22:44of traders are actually trading. That's
- 22:46when there's the biggest spikes, that's
- 22:48when most people make most money when
- 22:51they are trading. Now, you'll notice
- 22:53something if you go back to this little
- 22:54graph over here. There's an overlap
- 22:56between when London session and New York
- 22:58session are actually happening. And that
- 23:01overlap is from 8:00 a.m. till 12:00
- 23:04p.m. because in London session and New
- 23:06York session are both open, meaning the
- 23:08traders, the banks, the hedge funds, the
- 23:10algorithms in London and the traders,
- 23:12banks, hedge funds, and algorithms in
- 23:14New York are both working at the same
- 23:16exact time. That's when you have most of
- 23:19the movement during the day. That's when
- 23:20you're going to see huge spikes up, huge
- 23:22spikes down, a lot of movement, and a
- 23:24lot of opportunity opportunity to
- 23:26actually make money. Now, the reason why
- 23:28this is so important is first of all,
- 23:30you need to be aware of what session it
- 23:32is that you are trading because you you
- 23:34can expect certain amounts of volume or
- 23:36certain amounts of movement depending
- 23:38what time of day you're actually
- 23:39trading, but it's also important because
- 23:41the strategy that we're about to go over
- 23:42is heavily reliant on these because what
- 23:45will end up happening, as we know,
- 23:47London session starts first. Usually,
- 23:49the what London session does, where
- 23:52London session makes these stocks and
- 23:53things go, whether it's
- 23:55this high up or this high down, that
- 23:57determines what New York session will do
- 23:59afterwards. It's kind of like imagine um
- 24:02London session is your co-worker, right?
- 24:05And they came into the job, they did 35%
- 24:08of the work, and you just have to finish
- 24:10up what they were trying to do. That's
- 24:12New York session. You're New York
- 24:13session coming in and finishing up with
- 24:15London session does. During London
- 24:17session and what the candlesticks do
- 24:19during London session can give us a good
- 24:20idea and tell at what will happen during
- 24:23New York session. And the strategy that
- 24:25we're about to go over here in a second
- 24:26capitalizes on that. It helps you use
- 24:29London session to figure out exactly
- 24:31what New York session is going to do.
- 24:33And that's when I trade, and that's how
- 24:35I teach people how to trade, because
- 24:37that's when you can catch these big
- 24:38movements very fast and not have to be
- 24:41sitting here at your charts for hours a
- 24:43day. You can make your money, be done.
- 24:46You can make your money, still be at
- 24:47your full-time job, still working for
- 24:49your business, still be at the 9:00 to
- 24:505:00, make your money, be out. Now, keep
- 24:52in mind, the strategy that I'm about to
- 24:53go over is one of the same strategies
- 24:56that I teach and trade every single day
- 24:58inside of my inner circle. If Now, if
- 25:00you don't know what my inner circle is,
- 25:01is where I not just teach you the
- 25:03information, but I help you implement it
- 25:05into your own trading. Meaning, I walk
- 25:07you through how to use the strategies, I
- 25:09work with you one-on-one to make sure
- 25:11that you learn it and are able to apply
- 25:13it so you can start making money
- 25:14trading. You're able to trade live with
- 25:16me every single day, Monday through
- 25:18Friday. Every trade I take, you can copy
- 25:21it. Every trade all of our other coaches
- 25:23take, there are four other profitable
- 25:25coaches inside of my inner circle. Every
- 25:27trade they take, you can copy their
- 25:28trades as well. We have a dedicated
- 25:30trading psychologist inside of our inner
- 25:33circle, and you know how important that
- 25:35is. We've already talked about it so
- 25:36many different times. That's why I had
- 25:38to have a trading psychologist inside of
- 25:41our inner circle. That way you have
- 25:42every single resource possible to be
- 25:45able to succeed with trading. I've
- 25:47honestly built my inner circle to be the
- 25:49one thing that I wish I had when I first
- 25:51started off trading. Now, be honest, my
- 25:53inner circle is not for everybody. It's
- 25:55for people who are serious about
- 25:56trading. If you're someone that just
- 25:58wants to make like 100 bucks or 200
- 26:00bucks a month, my inner circle is
- 26:01probably not for you. But, if you're
- 26:03someone who wants to take this serious
- 26:05to actually be able to make a good
- 26:07amount of money trading, my inner circle
- 26:09is built for you. I'll leave a link for
- 26:11it inside the description of this video.
- 26:13Keep in mind,
- 26:14as I mentioned, this is not for
- 26:16everybody. Spots are extremely limited.
- 26:17This is not some marketing ploy or
- 26:19something like that. I'm being 100%
- 26:20honest. You can go on any of my YouTube
- 26:22videos and check the comments, and
- 26:23you'll see people complaining about not
- 26:25being able to join the inner circle.
- 26:27But, this is honestly for people who
- 26:28want to take this serious and want to
- 26:30have the mentorship and the guidance to
- 26:32get there as fast as possible and learn
- 26:34from someone who's been where you are
- 26:36and is at the point that you want to get
- 26:38to. So, as I mentioned, if you are
- 26:40trying to take trading serious, hit the
- 26:42link inside the description of this
- 26:44video to have the opportunity to join my
- 26:46inner circle. All right, so for this
- 26:49strategy, it is a very simple seven-step
- 26:51checklist. If you can follow this
- 26:53seven-step checklist, this will simplify
- 26:56your way to profitability very, very
- 26:58very much. So, the first thing on the
- 27:00checklist and I'm just going to run
- 27:01through all these different steps here
- 27:03and then I'm going to walk you guys
- 27:04through how to do all this and I'll show
- 27:05you a bunch of different examples as
- 27:07well just to make sure that is fully
- 27:08ingrained inside of your mind. But, let
- 27:10me just run through these really
- 27:11quickly. The first step is you're going
- 27:12to be on the 5-minute time frame chart.
- 27:15Now, keep in mind, this works on NQ, the
- 27:18NQ chart. So, we're going to go on NQ
- 27:20just like I have here and we're going to
- 27:21go to the 5-minute time frame chart.
- 27:23I'll switch it over here in a second.
- 27:25Step two is we want to actually mark the
- 27:27London session high and low from the
- 27:30hours of 4:00 a.m. up until 8:00 a.m.
- 27:33Eastern Standard Time. And I mentioned
- 27:35to you guys that there's an indicator
- 27:36that we will use. That indicator will
- 27:38help us mark that off very, very easily.
- 27:41I'll show you guys that here in a
- 27:42second. Number three is we're only going
- 27:44to trade between the hours of 9:30 and
- 27:4711:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Now,
- 27:50obviously, this does overlap with most
- 27:52people's 9:00 to 5:00 but trust me, this
- 27:56trade takes seconds to do especially
- 27:58because I'm going to show you exactly
- 27:59what you do before you even go to work,
- 28:01before you even clock in. That makes
- 28:03this entire process very, very simple
- 28:06and you don't even have to think about
- 28:07it. And obviously, for all my West Coast
- 28:08people, you'll be able to enter this
- 28:10trade way before that time. And keep in
- 28:12mind, when I say 9:30 through 11:00
- 28:15a.m., I don't mean you're trading that
- 28:17entire time. It just means if an entry
- 28:19happens, meaning all these seven steps
- 28:21line up within that time window, that's
- 28:24when you trade it. If the If all these
- 28:26steps line up, but it's not within this
- 28:27time window, you would not trade it at
- 28:29all. Anyways, step number four is you're
- 28:32going to enter the moment that price
- 28:34breaks above what we just marked up
- 28:37before as the London high or the London
- 28:39low. If price breaks above the London
- 28:41high, we're going to enter for a buy. If
- 28:43price breaks below the London low, we're
- 28:46going to enter for a sell. For step
- 28:48number five, you're going to place your
- 28:49stop loss right below the most recent
- 28:51low if you entered for buys or above the
- 28:54most recent high if you entered for
- 28:56sells. Now, I'll show you how to do this
- 28:57and also a very, very simple way to do
- 28:59this. If you don't know what stop loss
- 29:00means, this simply means that let's say
- 29:03we enter right here for buys, but we're
- 29:05saying that okay, worst case scenario,
- 29:07if price comes down here, exit me out
- 29:09the trade for a loss. This is the max
- 29:11amount of money I want to lose because
- 29:13if it goes even further than this line,
- 29:16I was probably really, really wrong
- 29:17about it and it's probably going to go
- 29:18even further down. So, your stop loss
- 29:20saves you from losing a bunch of money.
- 29:22But, step number six is your take
- 29:24profit. Take profit is the opposite of a
- 29:26stop loss. Let's say you enter right
- 29:28here and you're saying okay, when price
- 29:30gets up here, I would have made enough
- 29:32money. I'm okay exiting the trade right
- 29:34there. So, close my trade out
- 29:35automatically when price gets up here
- 29:37and let me get capture the money in the
- 29:40profits that the market is giving me.
- 29:42But, our take profit is going to go for
- 29:44a two to one risk to reward ratio and
- 29:46I'll show you exactly how to set that
- 29:47up. But, all that means is that whatever
- 29:49we're risking, if we hit our take
- 29:51profit, if we hit the area where we
- 29:53think
- 29:54um we're okay taking profit at, we're
- 29:57going to make two times as much as we
- 29:59risked. So, let's say with our stop loss
- 30:01down here, let's say we risk $100,
- 30:04right?
- 30:05Meaning if price hit our stop loss right
- 30:07here, we would lose $100. If we have a
- 30:10two to one risk to reward ratio,
- 30:12if we're risking $100, now if we win,
- 30:15we're going to win $200. That way, we
- 30:19can lose two times in a row and as long
- 30:21as we win one time, we make all of our
- 30:22money back plus more. So, that's simply
- 30:25what a take profit at a two to one risk
- 30:27to reward ratio looks like and I'll show
- 30:29you exactly how to do this. And the
- 30:31seventh step is that you're only taking
- 30:33one trade per day. Remember, this is
- 30:35something that we're doing around our
- 30:36full-time job. This is not to be turned
- 30:38into a full-time job. So, we're waiting
- 30:40for price to break either the top of our
- 30:43London session high or the bottom of our
- 30:45London session low. Whichever one
- 30:47happens first, that's the trade that we
- 30:49take. Let's say it breaks the top and
- 30:51then it breaks the bottom after, we
- 30:53don't take both of those trades. We only
- 30:55take the first one. Win or lose, we are
- 30:57done at that point. So, we just went
- 30:59over this seven-step checklist. I just
- 31:02wrote it out to you. Now, let me show
- 31:03you how to actually do this on the
- 31:04charts so you fully understand it. The
- 31:07first step being, we have to go to our
- 31:095-minute time frame chart. So, you would
- 31:10just press 5M. If you don't see it, hit
- 31:13this drop down right here and press 5
- 31:15minutes.
- 31:16Now, you'll be on the 5-minute time
- 31:18frame chart. Now, the second step is for
- 31:20us to mark the London high and London
- 31:22low from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Eastern
- 31:24Standard Time. Now, we can obviously do
- 31:26that manually by looking at the bottom
- 31:27of our screen over here and looking at
- 31:29the time to see from 4:00
- 31:31um a.m. to 8:00 a.m.
- 31:33But, a simple way to do it is if we
- 31:35press indicators over here and we type
- 31:38in kill zones,
- 31:41it's this one by Oscar VS. We would just
- 31:43press that. You'll see it pop up right
- 31:45here and you'll notice that we have
- 31:47these yellow lines and these white lines
- 31:49on our chart now. Now, keep in mind,
- 31:50yours is probably going to look very,
- 31:52very, very different than mine cuz I've
- 31:53adjusted the settings. So, what you can
- 31:55do to make yours look just like mine is
- 31:57you hover over the top left corner over
- 32:00here that says kill zones and this
- 32:01second icon, you can press settings.
- 32:04And then under inputs, these are my
- 32:06settings. You can literally just copy
- 32:08them. Have this one checked on, this one
- 32:10checked on, and all the other ones
- 32:11checked off. And then under style, you
- 32:14can do the same thing. You can have this
- 32:15one checked on, this one checked on, and
- 32:18then the second to last one also checked
- 32:19on and all the other ones checked off.
- 32:22Now, you can play around with these
- 32:23colors if you want. If I'm being honest,
- 32:24none of this really matters at all. This
- 32:26just makes it very simple to see exactly
- 32:29what it is we are looking for. All
- 32:30right. So, once you have your indicator
- 32:32and you adjusted the settings to how you
- 32:33want to do it, as I mentioned, we're
- 32:35drawing a box essentially from the
- 32:38highest point of London session to the
- 32:39lowest point of London session before
- 32:41New York session started. So, this
- 32:43yellow line signifies when London
- 32:45session started. So, all we do is we
- 32:47look at where is the highest wick Where
- 32:50is the highest candlestick that has the
- 32:51highest wick during that period? We
- 32:53would come over on a rectangle tool, or
- 32:55you can use a line tool. It's really up
- 32:57to you. You can use this trend line
- 32:59tool, and just mark off the highest
- 33:01point of that. You drag it across, the
- 33:04highest point before the white line
- 33:05starts. And then, we're going to do the
- 33:07same thing for the bottom. We want to
- 33:09mark off the lowest point that was
- 33:11during this between the the yellow line
- 33:13and the white line. The lowest point is
- 33:15right here. So, let's take a line again,
- 33:17and let's mark this off. So, now we have
- 33:20the highest point, and we have the
- 33:21lowest point. How I like personally
- 33:23drawing it is if you come over here um
- 33:26on brush shirt hover over brush brushes.
- 33:28I can't say that word. But, if you hit
- 33:30the little arrow next to it and press
- 33:32rectangle, you can actually just draw a
- 33:33box
- 33:35around it. That way, now you can clearly
- 33:37see that
- 33:39as long as price is inside of here,
- 33:41we're doing nothing. The only time we're
- 33:43entering a trade, just like our
- 33:46entry criteria and our rules say right
- 33:47here, we're only entering a trade
- 33:49between the hours of 9:30 and 11:00 a.m.
- 33:52after it breaks either a high point or a
- 33:54low point. So, we have our high and our
- 33:57low plotted out. So, we have this box.
- 33:59We know that price is currently in it.
- 34:00We now have to wait until it's 9:30 at
- 34:03least for us to even look for price to
- 34:05break below it or break above it. So, as
- 34:07I was saying before, that this is how I
- 34:10essentially trade so I don't have to
- 34:12look at my charts all day. I don't have
- 34:14to be on my charts all day. And as I
- 34:16mentioned, when you're working a
- 34:17full-time job, you can literally just
- 34:18mark up these areas before you even go
- 34:21to work, the high and the low. And then,
- 34:23if you guys remember talking about the
- 34:25alert section, you can actually just add
- 34:28an alert at the when it starts getting
- 34:30closer to the
- 34:32bottom of your box or the top of your
- 34:35box. That way, what ends up happening is
- 34:37when you set this alert,
- 34:39you're able to actually get a
- 34:41notification to your phone that says
- 34:43that okay, price is getting close to
- 34:44breaking out. Check your phone here for
- 34:46a second. When you check your phone,
- 34:48you're then able to just place your
- 34:50order for a sell when price breaks below
- 34:52here or buy when price breaks above
- 34:54here. So, all I would do in the morning
- 34:56time, very very simple simple routine,
- 34:59I'd wake up. I'd mark off the high and
- 35:02the low of London session between the
- 35:04hours of 4:00 a.m. up until 9:00 a.m.
- 35:08And then I'm simply setting alerts a
- 35:09little bit above the low point and a
- 35:12little bit below the high point. That
- 35:14way I get notified before it breaks
- 35:16above it. And then I'm simply just
- 35:17waiting till that alert goes off on my
- 35:19phone. I can go, I don't know, play with
- 35:21the kids. I can go work if you have to
- 35:24work, go work out, whatever it is. And
- 35:26you're simply just having a waiting game
- 35:27at that point. Just waiting for price to
- 35:30tap that alert and tell you that it's
- 35:32getting close to giving you an entry.
- 35:34And then as soon as all the criteria is
- 35:35met, meaning right now this is 9:25, so
- 35:38we need 5 more minutes before we get an
- 35:40entry. But it can happen a lot of times
- 35:42directly at 9:30. A lot of times you'll
- 35:44notice that the entry will happen
- 35:46exactly at 9:30. But as soon all the
- 35:48criteria is met and we're looking for
- 35:50price to break below or above it, we
- 35:52would just get ready to enter our trade.
- 35:53And how you would enter it and plan it
- 35:55out is if you look over here on the
- 35:57side, you can see we have this long
- 36:00position tool and short position tool.
- 36:02As I mentioned, TradingView is really
- 36:04for planning out your trades and these
- 36:06little drawings on your chart help you
- 36:08to visualize what your trade would look
- 36:10like. Long position tool is what you
- 36:12would use when you believe that price is
- 36:14breaking above or going to break above
- 36:17your London zone. And then a short
- 36:18position tool is what you would use when
- 36:20you believe price will break below your
- 36:22zone. So, in this instance, we're kind
- 36:24of close to the bottom. So, I think
- 36:26we're going to be looking for shorts.
- 36:27So, what you would do, you press the
- 36:29short position tool. So, we would have
- 36:30entered as soon as price broke below the
- 36:33box that we drew from London session. We
- 36:35put our stop loss right above the high
- 36:38point of the candlestick that we got on.
- 36:40So, we entered on this candlestick and
- 36:42the highest point that this candlestick
- 36:44went was up here.
- 36:46It was right up here, as you can see,
- 36:48cuz that's the highest that the wick
- 36:49went. So, that's where our stop loss
- 36:51would be, meaning if price went above
- 36:52here, we get entered outside of the
- 36:54trade and we would have lost the trade.
- 36:57And then we're putting our take profit,
- 36:59the green box, until this risk reward
- 37:01ratio says at least a two. So, we'll
- 37:04drag that down until it says a risk
- 37:07reward ratio of two. As I mentioned
- 37:09before, this is showing us that we will
- 37:12have a two to one risk reward ratio. So,
- 37:14anything we risked, whenever we win,
- 37:17we're going to win two times as much as
- 37:19that. And as you can see, this trade
- 37:21instantly ended up winning. So, it would
- 37:22have entered us into the trade right
- 37:24here. It would have never touched our
- 37:26stop loss. It would have sold all the
- 37:28way down and hit our two to one risk
- 37:29reward ratio take profit. And this would
- 37:31have been a winning trade that would
- 37:33have happened in a matter of seconds. It
- 37:35took us just seconds to add our trade on
- 37:38here. And then we don't even have to
- 37:40look at our chart to see if price is
- 37:41going to the downside or actually going
- 37:43to hit our take profit. We can go back
- 37:45to our full-time jobs because the trade
- 37:47is going to go either way, whether it's
- 37:48going to win or it's going to lose. No
- 37:50matter what, we are done for the day.
- 37:52Now, this is just one example. Let me
- 37:54show you guys a bunch more examples. So,
- 37:56we can do the same thing the day before.
- 37:58We see our uh yellow line and then we
- 38:01see our white line. So, we would do the
- 38:04same thing. We would mark off the
- 38:05highest point,
- 38:07which is right here. And then we draw
- 38:09the box all the way down to the lowest
- 38:11point, which is right here. And then
- 38:13we're simply at this point waiting for
- 38:159:30 to happen, at least 9:30 to happen.
- 38:19And as you see, it happened right here.
- 38:21So, we would have entered the trade as
- 38:23soon as it broke below here. So, we'd be
- 38:24in this trade now. Our stop loss will go
- 38:27right above the high point of the
- 38:29candlestick that we entered on, as you
- 38:31see right here.
- 38:32And then we're just dragging this until
- 38:34we see it's at a two to one risk reward
- 38:37ratio, just like this. Now, let's fast
- 38:40forward and see if this ends up playing
- 38:42out. As we see, this trade also ended up
- 38:45winning. Now, this trade took about 10
- 38:48minutes to actually win. So, it took a
- 38:49little bit longer than the previous one.
- 38:52And that's fine. We didn't have to sit
- 38:53here for 10 minutes to see if this trade
- 38:55ended up playing out or not. We simply
- 38:57entered the trade following all the
- 38:59steps, and whether the trade instantly
- 39:01gets us out at take profit or at stop
- 39:03loss, we're done for the day.
- 39:05Now, let's go to the day before then,
- 39:08and let's see what happens here. So,
- 39:11we'll do the same thing. We'll obviously
- 39:12just mark off the high point.
- 39:14We'll mark off the low point here. And
- 39:16we'll just drag it across. And then,
- 39:19we're going to wait until at least 9:30
- 39:21happens, which is right here. So, we
- 39:23didn't get an entry right at uh 9:30.
- 39:26But, let's fast-forward and see if we
- 39:27end up getting an entry anywhere.
- 39:29You see we're getting close to the high.
- 39:31We're getting close to the low.
- 39:33Let's see. All right. So, we would've
- 39:35had an entry literally right here.
- 39:38So, we would've entered the trade as
- 39:39soon as it broke above our zone here
- 39:41now. We would've used the long position
- 39:44tool, since we're looking for buys,
- 39:45right? Then our stop loss, since we
- 39:47entered for buys, would go below the
- 39:50candlestick that we entered on.
- 39:52Just like that. And then we're dragging
- 39:54this until we get to a two-to-one
- 39:56risk-to-reward ratio. Just like this.
- 40:00Now, let's fast-forward and see what
- 40:01ends up happening.
- 40:03As you see, this trade ended up hitting
- 40:06full take profit as well. So, we
- 40:08would've won this trade in a matter of,
- 40:09looks like, 10 minutes on this trade as
- 40:12well. Now, let's rewind and let's go to
- 40:15a day before then. I just want to make
- 40:16sure I give you guys a lot of examples,
- 40:19so you understand exactly what it is
- 40:20that you are looking at. So again, we
- 40:23would draw
- 40:24a box around the highest point, which is
- 40:26up here,
- 40:27all the way to the lowest point, which
- 40:30is down here.
- 40:31We'll drag this across.
- 40:34And then let's fast-forward and see if
- 40:35we end up getting an entry. This is the
- 40:379:30 candlestick right here. So now, we
- 40:40are within that window that we we'd be
- 40:42looking for an entry on. And then we see
- 40:43right here, we would've got an entry.
- 40:45So,
- 40:46we would've entered for sales as soon as
- 40:48it broke below our box.
- 40:50Stop loss above the candlestick that we
- 40:53entered on since we entered for sales.
- 40:55And then let's drag our TP area down
- 40:59until it says at least a two to one risk
- 41:01to reward ratio. And let's see what ends
- 41:03up happening.
- 41:06Fast forward and as we can see this
- 41:08trade ended up losing and this is
- 41:10perfect. I'm glad you guys saw this.
- 41:12Your trades will lose. You can do
- 41:13everything right. We just did everything
- 41:15perfectly. The trade can still lose. You
- 41:18having a strategy is not about you
- 41:20having a winning trade every single
- 41:22time. You're going to lose if any trader
- 41:24online says that you're going to win
- 41:25every trade or only shows you winning
- 41:27trades, they are lying to your face. Do
- 41:28not believe them. You will lose trades.
- 41:31Being a profitable day trader is not
- 41:33about winning every single trade. It's
- 41:35about having proper risk management and
- 41:37following the same system. And as we
- 41:39mentioned here, we lost this trade, but
- 41:42again, we already won three trades and
- 41:44we don't win three times as much we
- 41:46lost. We won six times as much as we
- 41:49lost cuz let's say for example, we
- 41:51risked $100 on every trade that we took.
- 41:53Right here, we just lost $100. But if we
- 41:56look at the days before the ones that we
- 41:58just went over, remember we win two
- 42:00times as much as we lose every single
- 42:03time that we win a trade. So, here is
- 42:06fine. We had a losing trade and that's
- 42:08perfectly fine. We would then be done
- 42:10for the day regardless if price breaks
- 42:12to the downside again or let's see if
- 42:14price breaks to the upside.
- 42:18Regardless if I don't know if it breaks
- 42:20to the upside or not, but regardless if
- 42:21price breaks to the upside as well, we
- 42:23would not take that trade. We took our
- 42:25one and done trade and we were done for
- 42:27the day regardless of the fact that it
- 42:29was a loss. Now, as I mentioned, these
- 42:31are the same exact setups that we're
- 42:33taking inside of my inner circle all the
- 42:35time. I'll leave a link inside the
- 42:37description of this video so you can see
- 42:38us implement and do this exact strategy
- 42:40every single day and then obviously have
- 42:42the opportunity to learn directly from
- 42:43me all the other strategies that would
- 42:45fit around your work schedule or
- 42:47whatever it is that you have going on
- 42:49during the day. Now, I want to go over
- 42:50something that a lot of people don't
- 42:51talk about, but you heard me just talk
- 42:53about it a little bit earlier, which is
- 42:55understanding your risk and managing
- 42:56your risk. How do we calculate how much
- 42:59it is that we're risking? Because
- 43:00obviously, we see these numbers on the
- 43:01side, and when I was going over the
- 43:03candlestick examples, I was showing you
- 43:05guys that let's say down here, the price
- 43:07of NQ was 31,083.
- 43:10You don't need $31,083
- 43:13or $31,083
- 43:15to open a position here. This is just
- 43:17the price of this underlying asset.
- 43:20You're actually able to enter into these
- 43:21trades with much less, but we have to
- 43:24understand when we're entering into the
- 43:25trade, how much is it that we're
- 43:27actually risking. And it's very simple.
- 43:29Another good reason why we use
- 43:31TradingView and we use these short
- 43:33position tools or long position tools is
- 43:35it help us helps us calculate the risk.
- 43:38So, this middle number on the um stop
- 43:41loss part right here, this 221, that's
- 43:44the amount of ticks, meaning that's the
- 43:46amount of movements to the upside or
- 43:48movements to the downside that NQ moved.
- 43:52So, if we make this bigger, you see the
- 43:53tick amount goes up. As we make it
- 43:55smaller, you see the tick amount goes
- 43:57down. Now, this tick amount is not the
- 43:59dollar amount that you're risking. The
- 44:01dollar amount that you're risking is
- 44:03whatever the ticks is times $5. So, we
- 44:06see here the tick amount is $218.
- 44:10If I were to open up one
- 44:12uh position on NQ, I'd be risking $218 *
- 44:16$5, which comes out to a little bit over
- 44:18$1,000. Same thing if my stop loss was
- 44:21100 ticks, I'd be risking $500 cuz it's
- 44:25100 * 5. That's how you calculate your
- 44:27risk just so you're aware on what it is
- 44:29that you're risking every single trade
- 44:31that you take. And you have to
- 44:32understand that each stop loss is going
- 44:34to be a different size. Some of them
- 44:35will be bigger, some of them will be
- 44:37smaller. But how you'll calculate and
- 44:39understand exactly how much you're
- 44:40risking per trade is just by multiplying
- 44:42this middle number by $5. Then it's the
- 44:45same thing with understanding how much
- 44:47you'd make per trade. You look at the TP
- 44:49part right here, the green part, and
- 44:51look in the middle number. You see right
- 44:52here it says 446. You'd multiply that
- 44:55number by five and that's how much you
- 44:57would make if it hits your full take
- 44:59profit. Now, I mentioned earlier on
- 45:01inside this video that most people don't
- 45:03even know the fact that you can use
- 45:04other people's money to trade with and
- 45:06doing that is called using prop firms or
- 45:09funded accounts. And simply how it how
- 45:11it works and I wish this was something
- 45:13that I had when I first started off
- 45:14trading and would have stopped me from
- 45:15losing
- 45:16tens of thousands of dollars. But simply
- 45:18put how it works is you'd pay a fee to
- 45:21these prop firms or these funded
- 45:23accounts. Let's say the fee is $500 and
- 45:26in turn they let you take a test or a
- 45:28challenge. Basically that challenge is
- 45:30you having to prove to them that you can
- 45:32make a certain amount of money on an
- 45:34account without losing a certain amount
- 45:36of money. For example, let's say they
- 45:38give you a $100,000 account to test you
- 45:41or take that challenge with. They want
- 45:43you to make $6,000 on that account
- 45:45without losing $3,000 first. If you can
- 45:48make $6,000 on the account without
- 45:50losing $3,000,
- 45:52to them you have proven that you know
- 45:54how to trade and then they would give
- 45:55you an actual account to trade with.
- 45:57When you then have that $100,000 account
- 45:59to trade with because you passed the
- 46:01challenge on a $100,000 account, you
- 46:03then are able to make profits on it and
- 46:06you get to withdraw a percentage of
- 46:07those profits. Usually it's around 80 to
- 46:1090% of the profits. So, how it works is
- 46:13you pay $500, you would take the
- 46:15challenge, if you pass the challenge
- 46:17they give you an actual $100,000
- 46:19account, you trade with it and the
- 46:21profits that you make on that account,
- 46:23let's say you make $10,000 on that
- 46:24$100,000 account, you get to take home
- 46:27and withdraw to your bank account $8,000
- 46:30or $9,000 depending on the prop firm.
- 46:33Now, the cool part is let's say you pay
- 46:35500 bucks and you take the challenge and
- 46:38you lose $10,000.
- 46:40You don't owe them $10,000. The only
- 46:43money out of pocket for you ever is that
- 46:45initial fee that you pay for a
- 46:47challenge. So, let's say that $500 that
- 46:49you paid for a challenge, that's the max
- 46:51out of pocket. Nobody's going to be
- 46:52coming to hound you down or chase you
- 46:54down to because you lost $10,000 on an
- 46:57account. So, as you can see, this is a
- 46:59huge way to leverage your money because
- 47:01you can pay a few hundred bucks and get
- 47:03access to much bigger accounts to trade
- 47:06with, causing you to be able to
- 47:07obviously make way more money even after
- 47:10you giving them 10% of your profits or
- 47:12even 20% of your profits. Now, the one
- 47:15thing about prop firms that you have to
- 47:16be very, very, very, very careful about
- 47:18is there are so many out there. A lot of
- 47:20them can be scammy and have all these
- 47:22crazy rules that you would have never
- 47:23found out about cuz they hide them. And
- 47:25a lot of them, let's say you you pass
- 47:27the challenge, you pay them the money,
- 47:29and then you're requesting a payout,
- 47:31they can just deny it and not give you
- 47:33the money. A lot of these scammy prop
- 47:34firms would do that. And that's honestly
- 47:35the reason why I started my own prop
- 47:37firm. I was honestly just sick and tired
- 47:39of these prop firms taking advantage of
- 47:41people. Prop firms owned by people who
- 47:43have literally never traded a day in
- 47:44their life. So, I made a prop firm that
- 47:47I wish that I could have had when I
- 47:49first started off. The reason being is I
- 47:51mentioned to you guys, usually you have
- 47:53to pay $500 or a few hundred bucks, and
- 47:56then prove to them that you know how to
- 47:58trade by hitting this specific profit
- 48:00amount without losing this amount.
- 48:03I did away with that entire thing.
- 48:05Meaning, at my prop firm, The Edge
- 48:06Funder, it's instant funding. As soon as
- 48:09you purchase the account and you start
- 48:11making money on it, you can start
- 48:13withdrawing profits. As long as
- 48:15obviously you follow our rules, just
- 48:16like every other prop firm has rules.
- 48:18But, you don't have to prove to us that
- 48:20you know how to trade because a lot of
- 48:22times most people will pass those
- 48:24challenge accounts, and then the prop
- 48:25firms will put them on the real
- 48:27accounts, and the real accounts will be
- 48:29completely different from the challenge
- 48:30accounts, and now the trader lost that
- 48:33real account, and now they didn't make
- 48:34any money, they just wasted their time.
- 48:36So, I, as I mentioned, did away with
- 48:37that entire thing. Now, I'll leave a
- 48:39link for the instant funding prop firm,
- 48:41my prop firm, The Edge Funder, in the
- 48:43description of this video as well. And
- 48:44you can actually use code full time, all
- 48:47caps, and you can get 25% off any
- 48:50account that you purchase. So, it's a
- 48:52great way, as I mentioned, to leverage
- 48:54your money and not have you have to risk
- 48:56your own life savings. Even if you have
- 48:58the money to trade with, you might as
- 48:59well use other people's money. And at
- 49:01the Edge Funders, we have accounts
- 49:02starting at $25,000 accounts, $50,000
- 49:05accounts, $100,000 accounts, and
- 49:07$150,000 accounts that you can get
- 49:09access to and trade for just $100 or a
- 49:12few hundred dollars. So, as I mentioned,
- 49:14I'll leave a link for inside the
- 49:15description of this video, and you can
- 49:16use the code full-time all caps, no
- 49:19spaces, to get 25% off any account that
- 49:22you purchase. Now, we've went over the
- 49:24strategy, what day trading is, prop
- 49:26firms, how to use other people's money.
- 49:27We went over all these things, but I
- 49:29mentioned earlier on inside this video,
- 49:30and even when I was telling you guys
- 49:32about my inner circle, that the mental
- 49:34part and the psychology part of trading
- 49:35is the hardest part. And trust me, I
- 49:37skipped over that part for years, and
- 49:39that's why it took me so long to become
- 49:41profitable. But, I'm going to give you
- 49:43guys the seven most important principles
- 49:45that I've learned over the last 9 years
- 49:47that if you understand these and apply
- 49:49these, it will save you years of
- 49:51heartache, losses, sadness, and failure.
- 49:54So, let's hop into my seven principles
- 49:56that will drastically change your
- 49:57trading. The first of the seven
- 49:59principles is you need to follow your
- 50:01strategy, not your emotions. We just
- 50:03went over the seven-step checklist when
- 50:05it comes to the strategy. You need to
- 50:07follow that to a T. If six of those line
- 50:09up, but the seventh doesn't, do not take
- 50:11the trade. I don't care how good you're
- 50:12feeling. I don't know how I don't care
- 50:14how lucky you feel like you're feeling
- 50:17at the time. I don't care about how sad
- 50:19you are, how happy you are. You need to
- 50:21follow the strategy, not your emotions.
- 50:23Don't try and use intuition or things
- 50:26like that, because especially as a new
- 50:27trader, you have zero trading intuition.
- 50:30You need to follow the checklist to a T,
- 50:32and not change a single thing. Just
- 50:34focus on following the strategy as
- 50:36consistently and just repeating it as
- 50:38much as possible, and cut out all of the
- 50:41noise. Now, the second step, you need to
- 50:43detach from the money. When it comes to
- 50:45trading, once you learn the skill, and I
- 50:47said this hundreds of times, once you
- 50:49learn the skill of trading, making money
- 50:51is easy. The problem is everybody rushes
- 50:53into trading to try and make a bunch of
- 50:55money, and they skip past phase. But,
- 50:58once you learn how to trade, making
- 51:00money is
- 51:02it's like printing money out of thin
- 51:04air. I promise you once you learn the
- 51:06skill. But in order to get to that
- 51:08point, you need to detach from the
- 51:10money. You need to just focus on
- 51:11obsessing about learning the skill,
- 51:14obsessing about following the strategy,
- 51:16obsessing about following a system, and
- 51:19detach yourself from the money.
- 51:21And please understand that step number
- 51:23three is probably one of the most
- 51:24important ones that I didn't understand
- 51:25in the beginning. Profitable trading is
- 51:28very boring. In the beginning as
- 51:30traders, we get super excited about
- 51:31trading. We always want to be in trades.
- 51:33We always want to be entering and
- 51:35exiting trades. And we get excited. And
- 51:37that's why you hear a lot of times that
- 51:39trading is gambling. When in reality,
- 51:41it's not. It just can give a lot of the
- 51:43same feelings that gambling can give.
- 51:45When you go to the casino or you're
- 51:46gambling, you get that nice little
- 51:48dopamine hit. You get that adrenaline
- 51:50rush.
- 51:51With trading, that's what most people
- 51:52end up having as well. They get a
- 51:54dopamine hit, adrenaline rush, their
- 51:56heart starts racing, their their hands
- 51:57start sweating. That is not how
- 52:00successful traders trade consistently.
- 52:02Profitable trading is very boring. I sit
- 52:04here, I do the same thing. Mark up the
- 52:06highs and lows. Wait for it to go off on
- 52:08my phone. As soon as it goes off on my
- 52:10phone, enter for a buy or sell. Walk
- 52:12away. Very boring. It's not fun at all.
- 52:15I know in the beginning it's going to
- 52:16seem like a lot of fun, but trust me,
- 52:18don't get attached to that whole fun
- 52:21feeling. Profitable trading,
- 52:22consistently profitable trading, is very
- 52:24very boring. And it's supposed to be
- 52:26like that. Number four ties all of this
- 52:28kind of together.
- 52:30You have to have a structured trading
- 52:31routine. Meaning, you have to wake up at
- 52:33the same time, go into the charts the
- 52:35same exact
- 52:36um time, mark up your zones the same
- 52:38exact way every single time, marking up
- 52:40your highs and your lows the same exact
- 52:42way. You need to be risking the same
- 52:44amount every single trade. You need to
- 52:45be structured in the way that you trade.
- 52:47Everybody wants to be consistently
- 52:49profitable, but in order to be
- 52:51consistently profitable, you have to be
- 52:52consistent in the way that you trade. If
- 52:54you're always doing new things and
- 52:56always doing different things, you're
- 52:57never going to be consistently
- 52:59profitable. So, you need to have a
- 53:01structured trading routine. Number five,
- 53:04and you guys saw this when we were going
- 53:05over the examples, you have to
- 53:06understand and be okay with the fact
- 53:09that losses are part of the game. You're
- 53:10going to lose. It's okay to lose. Just
- 53:12think of losing as a business expense.
- 53:15Think of losing as just a part of the
- 53:17process because it literally is. Don't
- 53:20get mad when you lose. Same way you
- 53:22shouldn't get ecstatic when you win. All
- 53:24you're doing is trading the system and
- 53:26reaping the benefits.
- 53:28The outcome has nothing to do with how
- 53:30you should be feeling. Number six,
- 53:32backtesting is essential. I've made
- 53:33videos on my channel on how to backtest,
- 53:36but in essence, backtesting is simply
- 53:38just practicing. Same way you saw me go
- 53:40back here and go over those three or
- 53:42four trades, that's what backtesting is.
- 53:44It's going back and seeing what price
- 53:46did when I'm using a strategy, gaining
- 53:49confidence on the strategy. That's why
- 53:51backtesting is so important. And as I
- 53:52mentioned, I've made multiple videos on
- 53:54backtesting, so feel free to go on my
- 53:55YouTube channel to find those videos.
- 53:58But it's extremely important that you do
- 53:59that. And step number seven, and this is
- 54:01probably one of the most important
- 54:02parts. You've heard me mention my inner
- 54:03circle multiple times. It's very
- 54:06important that you get a mentor. Even me
- 54:07just Even you just watching my videos
- 54:09right now, I am technically your mentor.
- 54:11I am helping you. I'm I'm showing you my
- 54:13mistakes and the mistakes of other
- 54:15people that I've helped to help you skip
- 54:17over those mistakes and learn from them.
- 54:20Also, become part of a community or
- 54:22honestly do both of them. But the
- 54:23community aspect is very important
- 54:25because yes, everybody wants to be a
- 54:26trader so they don't have to worry about
- 54:28a boss or co-workers or people, but it
- 54:32becomes very lonely. You're just sitting
- 54:33here looking at the charts. You have
- 54:34nobody holding you accountable. You have
- 54:36nobody
- 54:37realistically to talk to. You're kind of
- 54:39just here. Nobody understands trading
- 54:41unless they trade. So that's why it's
- 54:43very important to become to get a
- 54:45mentor, to become part of a community,
- 54:47or do both of them. That way you're
- 54:48surrounded by like-minded people and you
- 54:50are learning. These seven principles
- 54:52have drastically changed my life. If you
- 54:54can follow them to a T, you will shave
- 54:57off years and thousands of dollars of
- 54:59losses. Now you've got the full road
- 55:01map. You know what day trading is. You
- 55:03know how to read the charts. You know
- 55:04the platform to use. You know the exact
- 55:07one trade a day strategy that I would
- 55:09use if I was working a full-time job
- 55:11today. But here's the cold truth.
- 55:13Trading with a small account will
- 55:14unfortunately never change your life. If
- 55:16you're trying to flip a thousand dollars
- 55:18into a hundred thousand dollars, that's
- 55:20going to be borderline impossible and
- 55:21never happen. But that's exactly why I
- 55:24made this video right here. I broke down
- 55:26exactly how to take the same strategy
- 55:28that we just talked about and apply it
- 55:30with prop firms and funded accounts that
- 55:32I mentioned in this video. I break down
- 55:34the exact risk you should trade for
- 55:35every single account size, how to
- 55:37actually get payouts, when to take
- 55:38payouts. I give you guys the entire game
- 55:40plan. So if you're ready to start using
- 55:42other people's money right, click this
- 55:44video right here. I'll see you there.
