I Found A Secret To The First Candle Rule — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00The first candle rule has taken over day
- 0:02trading and there's a reason for that
- 0:03because hundreds of traders are seeing
- 0:05success with this strategy. But after
- 0:07trading hundreds of these setups, I
- 0:09found something inside that candle that
- 0:11most traders never realize and it's a
- 0:13big part of how I was able to turn
- 0:15$9,000 into over $170,000.
- 0:19And to prove that to you, we're going to
- 0:20log into my broker together. But that's
- 0:23not the point. The point is that after
- 0:25you see what I'm about to teach you in
- 0:26this video, you will never look at the
- 0:28first candle the same way
- 0:31All right, guys. So as you can see, we
- 0:33are here on tradovate.com on a regulated
- 0:35broker and I'm going to log in with you
- 0:36guys so you guys can see my trading
- 0:38results. We're going to click live
- 0:39trading right here and once it gets in
- 0:42here, we're going to go over to the
- 0:43reports right here. I'm going to go back
- 0:46to when I started this account, which
- 0:49was November 5th
- 0:51to date, which today is March 17th. And
- 0:55as you can see, $170,000 in gross
- 0:58profit. Total on the account is
- 1:00$177,000.
- 1:02It's a live account as you can see right
- 1:03here. Now I want to be clear that these
- 1:05results are not typical. I've been doing
- 1:06this for 10 years. You're not going to
- 1:08go out and get the exact same results as
- 1:09me. I just show you guys this not to
- 1:11flex, but because transparency is very
- 1:14important in the trading industry. If
- 1:15you haven't noticed already, the first
- 1:17candle rule has taken over day trading
- 1:20and this is a strategy that I coined
- 1:22based on the opening range breakout. And
- 1:24it's very simple. You're going to mark
- 1:26the high and the low of either the first
- 1:2815 minute or the first 5 minute candle
- 1:30and watch for a breakout. That simple.
- 1:32But one thing that I noticed is after
- 1:34hundreds of these trades, I found
- 1:36something inside the first candle that
- 1:38changes the game entirely. And what I
- 1:40was mainly studying was the patterns
- 1:43between not only the wins, but the
- 1:45losses. Because a lot of times you'll
- 1:47take the same exact setup, the same
- 1:49rule, but you'll get a different result
- 1:51and then there will be some streaks of
- 1:53this. And it's not that losses are a
- 1:55problem, it's just that not knowing why
- 1:58you're losing is because whenever you
- 2:00learn why you're losing, often times
- 2:03that is where some of your biggest
- 2:04breakthroughs in trading will occur. So
- 2:06I took it upon myself to study hundreds
- 2:08of first candle setups. I wanted to
- 2:10understand why some worked and some
- 2:12didn't. Not just the pattern, but the
- 2:14logic. Now, this book right here, The
- 2:16Laws of Trading, is probably my favorite
- 2:18book ever written on trading and it was
- 2:20written by a quant at Jane Street. Now,
- 2:22Jane Street is one of the most
- 2:24profitable firms out there. They make
- 2:26billions and billions of dollars and
- 2:28this quote went something like, "If you
- 2:30can't explain your edge, then you don't
- 2:33have one."
- 2:34And that line changed everything for me.
- 2:36And this is what pushed me to dig deeper
- 2:38and what pushed me to find the secret
- 2:39that helped me flip that account. Now,
- 2:40the quant's name is Augustine Lebron and
- 2:43his logic is that there is a three-point
- 2:46system to finding an edge and most of
- 2:48you guys think number one is just going
- 2:50to be data. That's what a lot of people
- 2:52think that firms use. That's actually
- 2:54not the case. The first step for them is
- 2:57asking why an edge would even work.
- 3:00After that, step number two is to figure
- 3:03out who is losing, right? Who is in the
- 3:05losing side of the market? And only
- 3:07after they do that, do they get into
- 3:08step number three, which is the data
- 3:11invalidating the strategy. Now, why does
- 3:13any of this even matter? Well, because
- 3:15with the first candle rule, you're just
- 3:17going to be trading, you know, the
- 3:18breakout of a first candle's high and
- 3:21low. And this is great, but a lot of
- 3:23traders don't really realize why they're
- 3:25trading this and they also don't realize
- 3:27what's happening when the market starts
- 3:29to fade away and give a false breakout.
- 3:32And right here is where part of the
- 3:34secret resides. So here's what we're
- 3:36going to cover today to unveil that.
- 3:38First, we're going to go over what is
- 3:40inside this candle. And this is a layer
- 3:42that separates the winning trades from
- 3:44the losing ones. And this is the biggest
- 3:46pattern that I found when going through
- 3:48all of the data that I was reviewing.
- 3:50Next, we're going to talk about how you
- 3:51can get two setups from one candle. Not
- 3:54just breakouts, but also reversals. And
- 3:56then we're going to go over real chart
- 3:58and trade examples, that way you can see
- 4:00exactly how this works. Now, when it
- 4:01comes to the first candle, what most
- 4:03people see are the high and the low.
- 4:07Pretty simple, but this only tells you
- 4:09where price went. It does not tell you
- 4:12what happened inside. And remember, step
- 4:15one of the way that quants and
- 4:17professional traders find an edge is
- 4:19they ask why. And if all we're marking
- 4:22is this high and low, we don't really
- 4:24have conviction in what we're doing.
- 4:26We're kind of just trading a pattern,
- 4:27which is why a lot of traders have
- 4:29trading psychology issues. People think
- 4:30that they have a trading psychology
- 4:31issue because trading is hard and
- 4:34they're a bad person or bad trader. No,
- 4:36that's not it. It's just because you
- 4:37don't have conviction. Because if all
- 4:39you're doing is just trading a pattern
- 4:40through this and you don't get why
- 4:42you're trading it, then you're never
- 4:44going to have true conviction, even if
- 4:45you backtested it because there's no
- 4:47logic to it. So what we want to see is
- 4:49behind these big moves, was there
- 4:51actually big money behind it? Because if
- 4:54there wasn't, this is where you're going
- 4:55to get a fakeout. And I know a lot of
- 4:57you guys are sitting there thinking,
- 4:58"Yeah, I would love to know that. How do
- 4:59you do it?" And it's not going to be
- 5:01some complicated system or strategy.
- 5:04It's a really simple tool that literally
- 5:06tells you with data whether they were
- 5:07involved in the market or not. And that
- 5:09tool is called the value area. Now, the
- 5:12value area is pretty simple. It's just
- 5:14where 70% of the volume was traded. So
- 5:16let's just say we have this candle right
- 5:18here and you're just going to be looking
- 5:21typically at the wicks and the body,
- 5:23right? Those are the only levels you
- 5:24have from a regular candlestick chart.
- 5:26So you're looking at these levels that
- 5:29are visible to the naked eye, but real
- 5:31professionals are looking at something
- 5:33different. They're looking at the value
- 5:35area. Now, the value area is just where
- 5:3770% of the volume was traded inside this
- 5:40candle and it's never going to be right
- 5:42around the high or the low. Because the
- 5:44reason the high or the low is made is a
- 5:46reaction to volume, okay? Price is more
- 5:50of an indicator than volume. A lot of
- 5:52people mix this up and they think
- 5:53volume's an indicator, but price is a
- 5:55result of volume. So if you can
- 5:57determine where the market was really in
- 6:00agreement, meaning in this value area,
- 6:03right? That is what we call the 70% area
- 6:06of the volume profile. Now, I'm going to
- 6:08show you guys this on a chart, but I
- 6:10want you to understand this concept
- 6:11right now. If you can understand where
- 6:1370% of the volume happened, if the
- 6:17market starts to move past this area,
- 6:19that is the true level you want to
- 6:21watch. And if the market can give you
- 6:23specific behavior outside of this area,
- 6:26you're going to have much more
- 6:27conviction, a better entry, and overall
- 6:30better trades than if you wait for the
- 6:32high. But the real gem is what happens
- 6:35whenever the market doesn't get accepted
- 6:37and we pop back into the range. This is
- 6:40going to give you some of the most
- 6:42explosive trades. And if you haven't
- 6:43realized already, this happens more
- 6:45often than not. Now, these abbreviations
- 6:47you see here, the VAH, which is just the
- 6:50value area high, which is the high of
- 6:52the little box that we have that where
- 6:55the 70% of volume was traded. The value
- 6:57area low is just the low. Now, the point
- 6:59of control is another level that we're
- 7:01going to get into here in a minute, but
- 7:03this is the single place where the most
- 7:05volume was traded. As you can see, this
- 7:07middle bar was the largest bar. And what
- 7:10these are showing you is just volume at
- 7:12price. Typically, you would look at
- 7:13volume lower on your screen and it would
- 7:16just be bars, but that's just going to
- 7:17tell you how much volume was in each
- 7:18candle. This can show you the volume
- 7:21that was traded at price. Where was that
- 7:23volume traded? So it's much more
- 7:24powerful. Now, the edge that I found was
- 7:26that one candle can give you two trades.
- 7:29We have our breakout entries, which is
- 7:31where price leaves that value area, then
- 7:34it pulls back, tests the area, and makes
- 7:36a big move. Or we have when the market
- 7:39fails. And again, this is where a lot of
- 7:41traders get burned. And when we get a
- 7:44pattern that pushes us back into this
- 7:46range, when we can see that the smart
- 7:48money is selling, that is where we can
- 7:50get a really good setup to the downside.
- 7:53Now, the reason this is powerful is
- 7:54because we want to look at it like this.
- 7:56If 70% of the trading happened in that
- 7:58value area, that is what we want to look
- 8:00at as premium or discount pricing. So
- 8:04discount would be at the lows and
- 8:05premium is going to be at the highs. If
- 8:08you see a market that is moving to a
- 8:10premium price and the market is just
- 8:12agreeing that that's okay, meaning it's
- 8:14just staying outside of that, retesting
- 8:16it, and then moving higher, well, you
- 8:18could say that there aren't really
- 8:19sellers that are in control of the
- 8:20market because if there were sellers in
- 8:21control of the market, they would want
- 8:23to be selling for a premium. It's kind
- 8:25of like an auction. If they say, "Hey,
- 8:27we've got 100, 110, 120, 130" and people
- 8:30are just willing to keep buying, keep
- 8:32buying. Well, where are they going to
- 8:33go? The auctioneer is going to keep
- 8:35pushing the price higher and that's
- 8:36exactly how markets work. Now, vice
- 8:39versa, if we are going to the downside,
- 8:41then we are breaking out, you would be
- 8:43looking at it and saying, "Well, are
- 8:44buyers going to step in?" Because if the
- 8:46market's at a discount, it would be
- 8:48getting bought if it was bullish, right?
- 8:49If you have a item in the real world
- 8:52that is a hot commodity, right? Like
- 8:54maybe it's some popular item, some
- 8:56designer item that is rare, whatever.
- 8:58There's going to be a lot of people that
- 9:00want to buy it if it were cheaper than
- 9:01it actually was supposed to be. But if
- 9:03no one was around to buy it, well, price
- 9:05is going to continue dropping. And this
- 9:06is what you see with like NFTs and
- 9:08really any asset in the world. But the
- 9:09point I want you to take away from this
- 9:11is the mechanical version of the FCR,
- 9:13which is the first candle rule, only
- 9:14sees breakouts. This sees both. And not
- 9:17only that, it gives you a way better
- 9:20risk-reward and overall better entries
- 9:23when you do get a breakout. But the data
- 9:24shows that the reversal is often the
- 9:26higher probability trade. Let's hop
- 9:28right into step number one of what we
- 9:30are going to call the first candle value
- 9:33strategy. So first, we're just going to
- 9:36mark the value area and you want to
- 9:38check the context. Now, we're going to
- 9:40go over how to check this context on a
- 9:42chart and to do that, I'm going to pull
- 9:44up ATAS. Now, ATAS is a different
- 9:47charting platform than TradingView
- 9:49because it gives you real volume data.
- 9:51If you want to get my presets so you
- 9:53don't have to wrestle all the settings,
- 9:55I have exported it and I've left a link
- 9:56down in the description that you can
- 9:58join my free trading community and it
- 10:00will be inside there in the resources
- 10:02channel. And once you download it, you
- 10:03would just go into the settings and hit
- 10:05import and you'll just put in the file.
- 10:07So on this platform, it's very similar
- 10:08to TradingView. Again, the only
- 10:10difference is it has real volume data.
- 10:12On TradingView, the volume data is based
- 10:14on ticks. So let me just draw out this
- 10:16profile. So on this chart, you would go
- 10:18over here to volume analysis and then
- 10:20you would hit the profile and TPO. And
- 10:23if you look at the time right here, this
- 10:25is 9:30 a.m. So you want to take this
- 10:27whole range from 9:30 to 9:45. So it
- 10:31would be those three candles. We've got
- 10:33the 9:30 candle, the 9:35, and the 9:40
- 10:36because we are on the 5-minute chart, as
- 10:38you can see right here. And we're
- 10:40marking out the first 15 minutes of the
- 10:41day. Now, the reason I'm doing this on
- 10:42the 5-minute chart is because this is
- 10:44where we're going to find our entry. So
- 10:45as you can see here, we have the value
- 10:47area high right there and we've got the
- 10:50value area low. So these are the levels
- 10:52you want to be paying attention to. So
- 10:54once you have marked out this first
- 10:55value range, what you want to be paying
- 10:58attention to is how the market reacts
- 11:00when we dip outside of it. So as you can
- 11:02see right here, we traded outside of it,
- 11:05but when the market tried to retest it,
- 11:06meaning it came outside and it hit back
- 11:09into the level, we actually came down
- 11:11and closed a candle back inside of it.
- 11:13And when this candle closed, that is an
- 11:16execution. So you would come over here
- 11:18to plot your trade and click the short
- 11:20position because if we hit into the high
- 11:22and then close back inside, you're going
- 11:23to want to be going short because buyers
- 11:25got trapped. Remember we talked about
- 11:27the why this works. Well, why is because
- 11:30we can see that the market is selling
- 11:32off as soon as it gets to premium
- 11:34pricing. Number two was who is wrong in
- 11:36the market. All of these buyers were
- 11:38trapped. And if we zoom in here, um
- 11:41ignore all the footprints in these
- 11:42candles. If you guys want to make more
- 11:43videos on those, it's just profiles in
- 11:45each candle, but pay attention to this
- 11:47profile right here. As you can see, most
- 11:50of the buying happened down here lower
- 11:52in the candle. So if we know that the
- 11:54most amount of traders got active down
- 11:56in this area, but the market's moving
- 11:58aggressively, well, what are these
- 12:00traders up here? These are likely retail
- 12:02traders cuz they can't account for much
- 12:04volume. They're not really, you know,
- 12:06pushing much mass in the market. So
- 12:08they're all getting trapped in the
- 12:09market. And they're going to be in
- 12:11positions all through here. They're
- 12:13longing all through this. And they're
- 12:15going to end up getting stopped out of
- 12:17this trade and when they get stopped out
- 12:19of their trade, that is going to be
- 12:22rocket fuel for moves to the downside
- 12:24because if someone's in a long and
- 12:26they're exiting the market, well, that
- 12:28is the equivalent to a sell, okay? So if
- 12:30they're selling and then we also see
- 12:32smart money is selling because they're
- 12:34pushing back in, you can look at it like
- 12:35these guys got faked out. And you're
- 12:38going to take a trade at that time and
- 12:40you're going to put your target where
- 12:41all of those people's stop losses
- 12:43because if all of these traders got in
- 12:44in that first 15 minutes, well, their
- 12:46stop's going to be at the low of the
- 12:48first 15 minutes. So you're going to
- 12:49target that low. But right then, you're
- 12:52not going to just take profits. And this
- 12:54is where my trading differentiates from
- 12:56a lot of people. You're going to want to
- 12:57start trailing your stop loss up to the
- 13:00candle that hit into that level. Now,
- 13:03let me give you an example of the trade
- 13:04that I actually took on this setup. Now,
- 13:06this is something I broke down in a full
- 13:08volume profile course here on YouTube.
- 13:10If you want to watch this video, but
- 13:12let's take a look at this exact setup
- 13:14that I took. That way you guys can see
- 13:17what I'm talking about. So as you can
- 13:18see, I entered the market and then the
- 13:20market started to move down. Every time
- 13:22after we hit into this level, I'm
- 13:23trailing my stop up at each candle.
- 13:26Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. And you see that
- 13:28I'm able to get a much bigger trade.
- 13:30Now, on this trade, I was up $13,000,
- 13:33but I ended up getting a little bit of
- 13:35that taken back from me and making
- 13:37$11,000, but still pretty good if you
- 13:40ask me. But the reason I'm able to do
- 13:42this is because I am looking at this
- 13:44like a squeeze. I'm looking at this
- 13:45like, okay, well, these traders came
- 13:48into the market, these buyers up in
- 13:51here, but they're retail buyers. And
- 13:53then all of those retail buyers, all
- 13:55these guys up here, right? They're
- 13:57underwater. So the market's likely not
- 13:59going to move back up to where they're
- 14:00at. And they're just going to keep
- 14:02exiting and as soon as they get stopped
- 14:03out here, if sellers are really in
- 14:05control, this is like rocket fuel. So
- 14:08see how understanding why you're doing
- 14:11what you're doing is very powerful
- 14:13because then you can keep moving your
- 14:14stops up, keep moving your stops up. And
- 14:16And right here was where I end up
- 14:17getting stopped out. So if you see, it's
- 14:19a big, big difference from, say, where
- 14:22we are at right here with a 1.6 risk
- 14:24reward all the way down to here with a
- 14:272.37. Now, sometimes you'll be able to
- 14:29get even higher risk to reward on very
- 14:31explosive days. And I'm sure you guys
- 14:33can think of some days where you've had
- 14:35a stop out on the first candle rule and
- 14:36it just went insanely against you. And
- 14:39this can help you not only avoid those
- 14:41setups or avoid those fake outs, but
- 14:43help you capitalize on them. Now, let's
- 14:45take a look at another day. And both of
- 14:47these are recent examples. This is just
- 14:48on March 9th. So as we can see right
- 14:51here, we're going to mark out the first
- 14:5315 minutes of the day. So here was the
- 14:55high of that first 15 minutes. We're
- 14:57going to go down to that 9:40 candle and
- 14:59we're going to mark right down to its
- 15:01low. So in this example, we can see that
- 15:04in that profile,
- 15:06there was the value area high up here
- 15:09and the value area low. So if we were
- 15:11just want to take a rectangle and we can
- 15:13draw this out to have a little bit of a
- 15:14cleaner chart, we can just draw this out
- 15:16and then we can zoom out and see how the
- 15:18market reacted to this price action. So
- 15:22in this example, you would have actually
- 15:24taken one loss. And I'm not here to tell
- 15:26you guys that you would ever just have
- 15:30a, you know, perfect strategy that's
- 15:31never going to take a loss. So I'm going
- 15:32to walk you guys through how to handle a
- 15:34losing day and turn it to a winning one.
- 15:36So in this setup, you had hit into that
- 15:39first candle's value area and then
- 15:41retested it and closed down. So I would
- 15:44have entered the trade right there and
- 15:45then you could have put a stop loss
- 15:48right at that candle
- 15:50at its high right there, right at that
- 15:52retest candle's high. And then in this
- 15:54example, I would have looked to target
- 15:55down lower towards some lows over in
- 15:57this area because we had already traded
- 16:00under that area. If it's a breakout, I'm
- 16:02just going to look for our the nearest
- 16:04lows right around that two to one risk
- 16:06to reward. If you like, you can just
- 16:08trade a mechanical two to one risk to
- 16:09reward, but I found that often times
- 16:11you'll go a little bit further than
- 16:12that. However, that was a losing setup.
- 16:15So what do you do at this time? This is
- 16:17where a lot of you guys just panic. You
- 16:19say, "Oh my god, loss. I suck at
- 16:21trading. I'm going to get on YouTube and
- 16:22watch another strategy video." No, we're
- 16:24not going to do that anymore. Because
- 16:26once you understand the why, you can
- 16:27say, "Hey, look. Okay, cool. Well,
- 16:29sellers really tried to push the market
- 16:30down here." Now, let's take a look a
- 16:32little bit deeper at this profile. We
- 16:34can see that it's pretty, you know, it's
- 16:36not balanced. It's definitely not a
- 16:37balanced profile, but there's not any,
- 16:39you know,
- 16:40there's not a huge amount of sellers
- 16:42down here. There's also not a huge
- 16:44amount of sellers up here. Um or traders
- 16:47up here more so than there are down
- 16:48here. So you could say that at the end
- 16:50of the day, if the market can really
- 16:51start to pop back into this range,
- 16:53there's not really a reason why you
- 16:55shouldn't take a buy. And a lot of
- 16:56traders will say, "Oh, that's
- 16:57overtrading." It's genuinely not. You
- 16:59know, it's sometimes you're going to
- 17:00lose a trade and you're going to say,
- 17:01"Hey, I was wrong." and be able to take
- 17:03a trade in the other direction. I know
- 17:05that whenever I first started trading, I
- 17:06was really scared of this and I felt
- 17:09like this was gambling, but at the end
- 17:10of the day, guys, like this is trading.
- 17:12Um so the first setup you could have
- 17:14taken here, the first long, is that once
- 17:17the market started to close back into
- 17:18this area, you could have taken a long
- 17:20right here and it would have had a kind
- 17:22of a wide stop loss, but you would have
- 17:25put your stop down at this low right
- 17:27there,
- 17:28and it would have worked out, right? You
- 17:30could have just targeted up higher and
- 17:32let the market kind of run and do its
- 17:33thing. And you could look over here and
- 17:35what I like to do in these setups
- 17:37is kind of just look over to the left
- 17:39and see if there's any key levels. Now,
- 17:40here we had a gap right here. So you
- 17:43could have just traded this towards that
- 17:44gap fill and then started to trail up
- 17:46your stop loss after that. Now, another
- 17:49setup you can do and and you can also
- 17:50just use a fixed two to one here. Um but
- 17:53on these kinds of setups, like if you
- 17:54have a really big move in the morning,
- 17:56sometimes I like to just look for some
- 17:58kind of key level over to the left. Now,
- 18:00another setup you can look at as well is
- 18:04if you missed that one, did you get that
- 18:05breakout? And this is how you can look
- 18:07to spot a breakout. In this example
- 18:10right here, you want to think of it
- 18:11like, okay, well, the market not only,
- 18:14you know, trapped sellers, right? We saw
- 18:16sellers step in. They were trying to
- 18:18sell off for these, you know, discount
- 18:20prices, but buyers finally stepped in
- 18:22under all these lows and then pushed the
- 18:24market back up. So you can say from that
- 18:26happening, buyers are in control, okay?
- 18:28If buyers are in control, what do you
- 18:30want to see happen at premium prices? So
- 18:34let's say if we get right into this
- 18:35area, which is what we have determined
- 18:37as premium prices based on that value We
- 18:39didn't determine this. The market said
- 18:41that. It's a value area high. So if the
- 18:43market gets above that and closes and
- 18:46starts to really form an aggressive move
- 18:48to the upside and and stay up there,
- 18:50anytime you have some kind of move down,
- 18:52that is where you're going to want to
- 18:54take a trade. So in this example, we
- 18:57went down into a fair value gap. Now, if
- 18:59you don't know what a fair value gap is,
- 19:01it is just the gap between candles'
- 19:03wick. So notice how this candle right
- 19:05here, its high did not touch this
- 19:08candle's low. So this candle was
- 19:09expansive and it formed a gap. So as
- 19:11soon as you start pushing outside of the
- 19:14first candle's value and you start to
- 19:16form key levels, if you dig back into
- 19:18one, you can take a trade there. And
- 19:20then on these kinds of trades, I like to
- 19:22just trail my stops up and not really
- 19:24take profits. Like I I'm not a big uh
- 19:27profit taker. Like I I would rather, for
- 19:29example, once we get something like this
- 19:31and we get this engulfing right here, I
- 19:33would just enter the trade and I would
- 19:35keep my stops here to start. And I would
- 19:37just have an open TP. Like I'm literally
- 19:38just going to let my trade run. And if
- 19:40the market, you know, starts to make a
- 19:42big move up right As soon as we make
- 19:43this pop up and we're trading momentum,
- 19:46I'm moving my stop to break even, right?
- 19:48Now, a lot of people get scared and say,
- 19:49"Oh, it's too too early to do that." I
- 19:51don't care. Like I would rather just be
- 19:53aggressive moving my stop up every time
- 19:54like we make a swing low and move up,
- 19:56I'd move my stop right under that low.
- 19:58Again, let me just delete this so you
- 20:00can see. I'd move it right under that
- 20:01low again. And then every time we make a
- 20:03swing low, I'd move it again and again
- 20:05and again. And this is going to help you
- 20:07a lot of times get way more out of your
- 20:09trades than just letting trades turn
- 20:11around and come back and stop you at
- 20:12break even.
- 20:13So, the reason for this and the reason
- 20:15that I would do this in this example is
- 20:17because we have a lot of energy. Right?
- 20:20If you If you're If you're seeing a lot
- 20:21of energy in the market, you've already
- 20:22seen one side wrong. You have your why.
- 20:24You have who's wrong. At this point, you
- 20:26don't really want to see the market wait
- 20:28around a lot. So, these are kind of tips
- 20:30that, you know, typically with these
- 20:31videos I I make them like really stupid
- 20:33simple and just go one, two, three, but
- 20:35I really want to start giving you guys a
- 20:36lot more value here on the channel and
- 20:38going in a lot deeper. So, hopefully you
- 20:40guys enjoy this. Uh leave a comment if
- 20:41you like this kind of deep dive
- 20:43explanation. So, remember, step one is
- 20:46to mark the value of that first candle.
- 20:48Step two is to wait for a breakout or
- 20:49reversal. And step number three is to
- 20:51execute and manage the trade. And when I
- 20:53say manage the trade, I mean use your
- 20:55trailing stop loss. Another way you can
- 20:57use stop losses in this strategy is you
- 20:59can actually put it at the value area
- 21:01high. This gives you a lot better risk
- 21:04to reward. As you can see, this
- 21:06increases that significantly. So, if
- 21:08you're trading a reversal and you're
- 21:10hitting into the value area high, you're
- 21:11coming back down, you can put your stop
- 21:13right there at that value area high. You
- 21:15now have everything you need to go out
- 21:17and trade this in the markets tomorrow.
- 21:19You have a full strategy on how to
- 21:21execute using what you've learned. But,
- 21:23I want to be clear, having a strategy is
- 21:25the easy part, which is why I built my
- 21:27mentorship the way I did. Inside, you
- 21:29have someone trading with you live, 10
- 21:31sessions a week if you need it in the
- 21:33London and New York sessions. You have
- 21:36somebody checking every single trade
- 21:37that you take in our own proprietary app
- 21:39giving you direct feedback on all of
- 21:41your trades and correcting your
- 21:42mistakes. And you get your own coach
- 21:44assigned to you to hold you accountable
- 21:46to going through the process. If you
- 21:48want to apply to work with me in my
- 21:50mentorship, I'll leave the link in the
- 21:52description. I want to be clear that not
- 21:54everybody gets in. So, if the link isn't
- 21:56working, then that means the enrollments
- 21:58are closed. But, as long as it's
- 21:59working, there are still slots remaining
- 22:01for this enrollment. And regardless if
- 22:03we work together or not, I am rooting
- 22:04for you to win. And truthfully, you can
- 22:07do this all on your own. That's pretty
- 22:08much how I did it. It just took me many
- 22:10years. So, I do offer the mentorship if
- 22:13you want a fast track and learn from my
- 22:15mistakes. But, by no means you have to
- 22:16do it. I'm going to always post a ton of
- 22:18free content here on YouTube. Again, I
- 22:20have a free volume profile course that
- 22:22is super long and goes over everything
- 22:24from the basics to advanced applications
- 22:27of the volume profile. So, if you want
- 22:28to learn more about that, I'll leave a
- 22:30link to that in the description as well.
