How to Trade Liquidity on the 5 Minute Chart Day Trading Strategy — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Most traders use liquidity wrong, but
- 0:02what if I showed you how to spot it on
- 0:03the 5-minute chart before the price even
- 0:05starts to move. This is the very same
- 0:07concept that I taught you on the daily
- 0:08time frame, but this time we're diving
- 0:10into the sniper zone where reversals
- 0:12happen fast and fake outs are
- 0:17fatal. Papu 84 says, "You did a video
- 0:21for liquidity, but it was in a higher
- 0:23time frame. Can you please make a video
- 0:24for liquidity with 1 hour entries on a
- 0:27lower time frame?" Absolutely, bro.
- 0:29Let's get into it. Today, I'm going to
- 0:31show you exactly how to identify lower
- 0:33time frame liquidity, identify all of
- 0:35the traps and nail the reversals with
- 0:38surgical entries. Everyone loves trading
- 0:40zones and levels, but they miss what
- 0:42really causes price to reverse.
- 0:44Liquidity hunts. Market makers push
- 0:47price into liquidity to fill large
- 0:50orders. Period. And they do it fast. So,
- 0:52you can capitalize on this on the 1
- 0:54minute and the 5-minute chart. If you
- 0:56can spot where retail stops are sitting,
- 0:58you can anticipate where the price is
- 1:00going, not react to it. Liquidity is
- 1:03areas where traders get stopped out or
- 1:05trapped on the 5-minute chart. It could
- 1:07be wicks or a swing high, equal highs,
- 1:10clean support levels, all magnets for
- 1:13price. Your job, find where the obvious
- 1:16trades are sitting, and do the opposite.
- 1:18The key is to look for clean price
- 1:20action that's just a little too clean.
- 1:23equal highs, trend lines, or zones that
- 1:26look perfect. That's the bait. Now, here
- 1:28is the step-by-step process on how to
- 1:31spot lower time frame liquidity pools.
- 1:34Number one, mark the higher time frame
- 1:36liquidity zones first. Start with the
- 1:38daily or the 4hour chart. Mark the most
- 1:41recent swing highs and lows and clean
- 1:43levels that haven't been tapped yet.
- 1:45This is how you would mark up the chart.
- 1:47you get it out to the daily time frame.
- 1:49Take your horizontal position tool and
- 1:51mark up all of the levels of support and
- 1:54resistance so that you can have an easy
- 1:56visual representation of the higher time
- 1:59frame support and resistance levels.
- 2:00Then you can identify areas that have
- 2:03not been tapped yet where the liquidity
- 2:06should be living. Drop to the 5minut or
- 2:08the 1 minute chart if you're feeling a
- 2:10little bit risky. Now zoom in. Look for
- 2:13price rapidly approaching a zone. You
- 2:16want to see volume spike, a quick tap,
- 2:19and a rejection. Now that we have the
- 2:21chart on the 5minut time frame, you are
- 2:23simply waiting for one of these levels
- 2:25to be hit and then you're looking for
- 2:27that rejection wick. And because you
- 2:30waited for that zone to get hit and
- 2:32looked for that rejection there, you can
- 2:34get into your scalping trade and get a 1
- 2:36to2 risk-to-reward setup. Keeping in
- 2:38mind that if price rejects the same area
- 2:40twice, it could be a full reversal
- 2:42double bottom with the bar not closing
- 2:44below the area of support and resistance
- 2:47that you marked up and getting another
- 2:48trade 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. Number
- 2:51three, look for traps. Price will often
- 2:54wick above resistance, pause, then dump
- 2:58or wick below support and reverse. That
- 3:02is your confirmation. And this is an
- 3:04example of that trap. Price came down
- 3:06and wicked below that level of support
- 3:09and then reversed and again as it was
- 3:12coming up wicked above that level of
- 3:15resistance and came crashing down.
- 3:17Always keep an eye out for the traps.
- 3:19And number four, use volume or candles
- 3:22for entries. Look for exhaustion
- 3:24candles, long wicks, bearish or bullish
- 3:27engulfing or a volume divergence. Now,
- 3:30let's break this down on a real trade I
- 3:32took using this method. As you can see
- 3:34here, I've marked up the higher time
- 3:36frame zone on the daily time frame. So,
- 3:39starting at the week's open, we could
- 3:41see this huge gap and the price dipped
- 3:44below that level of support that I had
- 3:46already marked up on the higher time
- 3:48frame. And during London session, you
- 3:51could see the price started to come down
- 3:53to that support zone a little bit more.
- 3:56Now zooming in, you can see we had rapid
- 3:59price movement to that zone, an
- 4:01engulfing candle, which both of these
- 4:03candles were with wicks and then we had
- 4:05that rejection up. That's when I was
- 4:07able to enter my trade at 61408 on
- 4:11Australian dollar. I kept my stop loss
- 4:14below the current London low and all I
- 4:17had to do was shoot for a 1:2
- 4:19risk-to-reward ratio. This was using
- 4:21higher time frame support and resistance
- 4:23and being able to scalp it on the five
- 4:25minute time frame with anticipation of
- 4:27price movement upwards because of the
- 4:30huge gap that was left over the weekend.
- 4:32So, I have some bonus tips for you.
- 4:34Number one, avoid entering before the
- 4:37price taps the liquidity zone. Wait for
- 4:39confirmation. Number two, use session
- 4:42times like the London or New York open.
- 4:45That's when the most stop hunts happen.
- 4:47And number three, do not chase the
- 4:50breakouts. Wait for price to trap
- 4:52traders and fade the move. Lower time
- 4:55frame liquidity is one of the most
- 4:57powerful tools you can use in your day
- 4:59trading, but only if you know what to
- 5:01look for. So, if you have a specific
- 5:02question in day trading, leave it in the
- 5:04comment section down below. And if you
- 5:06got value out of this video, make sure
- 5:08you drop a like on your way out. And we
