- 0:00how I made
- 0:01£1,800 using my boring Forex Trading
- 0:03strategy I'm going to be explaining
- 0:05today how I made 1.8k using my everyday
- 0:08trading strategy for the whole of 2023
- 0:10I've been sharing tons of information
- 0:12about my trading strategy and you can
- 0:13watch every single 2023 video because
- 0:16it's going to open up your eyes to how
- 0:17to really trade I don't have executions
- 0:19for this I'm just going to be breaking
- 0:20down the trade I took I did executions
- 0:22all 2023 so if you want to see
- 0:24executions go to all my 2023 videos but
- 0:27anyway guys let's get straight into it
- 0:28you know I like to separate out my weeks
- 0:30and my days as well but for now it's
- 0:31just the weeks keeping my chart nice and
- 0:33clean so you guys can follow along last
- 0:36week what would you say this is pause
- 0:38the video is the market trending from
- 0:39last week no this is more so a sideways
- 0:42action consolidation with consolidation
- 0:44you guys know there's going to be
- 0:45liquidity on both sides and if you guys
- 0:47want to know more about liquidity or
- 0:49money where the money is in the market
- 0:51you can watch my whole liquidity series
- 0:53it would truly bless you there's going
- 0:54to be liquidity on both sides with this
- 0:57in mind I'm have the selling mindset so
- 0:58let's just go up the time frame to show
- 1:00you that I'm bearish so as you can see
- 1:03here so this is the beginning of the
- 1:04year so let's go ahead and delete this
- 1:05so this is the beginning of the year we
- 1:07have been dropping since the beginning
- 1:09of the year price is going to accumulate
- 1:10then expand accumulate and there's going
- 1:12to be an expansion accumulate and then
- 1:14there should be another expansion and
- 1:15don't forget accumulation or retracement
- 1:17the idea behind that is the same it's to
- 1:19generate liquidity to then run it later
- 1:21I'm the 1 hour time frame I know that I
- 1:23am waiting for the next expansion to the
- 1:24downside I'm being patient I'm trying to
- 1:26figure out when is the next best
- 1:28opportunity to sell one of the key
- 1:30things about my trading strategy is I
- 1:33like to sell above a high when price is
- 1:36running out liquidity above all of this
- 1:38there's going to be money above this
- 1:41money on top and money beneath there's
- 1:43going to be liquidity on top and beneath
- 1:45or buy stops on top and sell stops on
- 1:47the bottom on Monday when Euro USD ran
- 1:49above the previous week's high this is
- 1:51where buy stops have been activated so
- 1:54obviously this is going to be more
- 1:55riskier to jump in on you're going to be
- 1:57buying above highs you're going to be
- 1:59buying when price is going going up and
- 2:00it's more riskier to jump in on all if
- 2:02you had the skin in the game and you've
- 2:03been doing this for quite some time
- 2:05you're going to know to sell from above
- 2:07these Highs but what you could do is if
- 2:09you're unsure about this what you can do
- 2:11is you can catch the next best
- 2:13opportunity when price drops like this
- 2:16let's Zoom it out when price drops like
- 2:17this and leaves inefficiency you know
- 2:19that this inefficiency eventually is
- 2:21going to need to be cleaned up or traded
- 2:24into to provide buy side to the market
- 2:27because here the only sell side was
- 2:28offered to the market here with this
- 2:30large sell candle there was no buy
- 2:32candle within here so you can expect
- 2:34price to come all the way up and fill in
- 2:36the whole imbalance and then drop this
- 2:38is Monday so let's go ahead and separate
- 2:40out the days now so that was Monday okay
- 2:42there we go that's Monday's price action
- 2:44you can see we filled in some of the
- 2:46imbalance and then we dropped we didn't
- 2:47really go nowhere we didn't trade
- 2:49beneath this low here you can see here
- 2:51price dropped and did not trade beneath
- 2:52it so what did it do it created relative
- 2:54equal lows I'll touch on this a bit
- 2:56later on so don't forget I'm keeping my
- 2:58strategy very simple everything that's
- 2:59happened so so far is I'm bearish cuz I
- 3:01looked at the higher time frames and now
- 3:03I'm waiting for price to run above a
- 3:05higher before selling it did it on
- 3:06Monday but if you never caught the move
- 3:09on Monday you could have looked for a
- 3:10move on Tuesday this is what you would
- 3:12do you would mark up every single point
- 3:15of interest that price could use to turn
- 3:18back around so on Monday when price is
- 3:20get active the only point of Interest I
- 3:22can see cuz we we not traded beneath
- 3:24this low yet is back to the imbalance so
- 3:27and it's not just here we've already
- 3:28traded into the inbalance balance here
- 3:30and filled in the majority of it more
- 3:31than 50% of it but there's still a piece
- 3:34of it imbalance remaining above here so
- 3:36let's go ahead and Mark this
- 3:38up there's a little imbalance still
- 3:41remaining and guess what folks there's
- 3:42also an up closed candle here there's an
- 3:44up closed candle here this buy candle is
- 3:46an up closed candle now we're getting
- 3:48into the nitt gritty we're getting into
- 3:49my entry now with up closed candles from
- 3:51this low to this High the whole thing is
- 3:53the up closed candle I like to get
- 3:55active from the lowest part first this
- 3:57is the low and the open of the up close
- 3:59candle handle or 50% what I'm going to
- 4:01do I'm going to mark up 50% using the
- 4:03FIB tool like I've done just put a line
- 4:05here for 50% just to make it easier so
- 4:07this is 50% of my up close candle this
- 4:09is the rest of the imbalance and then
- 4:12this is the low and open when price is
- 4:14pushing up higher and runs out this High
- 4:16here then I know that price wants to run
- 4:18even higher I've identified a few points
- 4:21and now this is how you would play it
- 4:22you would have multiple pois multiple
- 4:26points of interest don't be listening to
- 4:28those folks who say You must have one
- 4:30point of interest and if you don't get
- 4:31it right the first time then you don't
- 4:33know what you're doing guys it's okay to
- 4:35have multiple points of interest I have
- 4:37multiple points of interest that's been
- 4:39blessed for me so my points of interest
- 4:40then are I have the rest of the
- 4:43imbalance
- 4:44fill the low and open and 50% and I'm
- 4:48not saying I will go for every single
- 4:49one of them or these lows obviously I'm
- 4:51believing price is going to get to the
- 4:52up closed candle but I'm just saying for
- 4:54example I can either opt for this the
- 4:57rest of this imbalance fill fill in the
- 4:59whole thing and then jump in with a stop
- 5:01loss above 50% or I can jump in at the
- 5:04open of the body right here of the body
- 5:06of this up close candle stop loss
- 5:08thereabouts or just above the 50% line
- 5:10or I can wait for price to get to 50% so
- 5:12those are my three options this was not
- 5:14one I was choosing by the way but I'll
- 5:16just giving you this as an example for
- 5:17those who want to get in straight when
- 5:19price Taps into this as you guys know
- 5:21there's going to be different risk to
- 5:22reward ratios depending on which one you
- 5:24choose let's just say you chose this one
- 5:26for whatever reason Stop Plus above 50%
- 5:28and use for certain lows if you put your
- 5:31stop loss around here around that 97 998
- 5:33and obviously there's ways to work it
- 5:34you don't always expect price to run all
- 5:36the way up into 50% but ideally the best
- 5:39stop loss is going to be above the next
- 5:40best one is going to be around 50% or
- 5:43just above 50% just so you guys know so
- 5:45anyway guys if you went for this one you
- 5:46you're looking about an 11 pip stop loss
- 5:49if you went from the open of this one
- 5:50you're looking about a six pip stop loss
- 5:52and then obviously 50% you would have
- 5:54put your stop loss above the high and
- 5:55that would have been roughly about 8 pip
- 5:57stop loss the one I opted for was this
- 5:58one here So I entered it in around 93 so
- 6:02I caught it a little bit higher my stop
- 6:03loss was just beneath 95 it was about
- 6:06958 I know it's was a very small stop
- 6:08loss but I'm comfortable trading these
- 6:10kind of stop losses I'm more comfortable
- 6:12doing this and My Philosophy is if I got
- 6:14stopped out here I would have entered
- 6:15again at 50% that's just the way I do it
- 6:18you don't have to do it like that that's
- 6:19just the way I do it and it doesn't
- 6:21always play out sometimes I do get
- 6:23stopped out I do take losses as well
- 6:25because I do offer these smaller stop
- 6:27losses but it is what it is but anyway
- 6:28guys I around 93 had a stop loss here
- 6:30don't forget idle stop loss would have
- 6:32been above 50% that would have been let
- 6:34say a f% stop loss even if it was to
- 6:35stretch this double it that's a fer stop
- 6:37loss when price go up here this is when
- 6:39I'm looking to take a sell and I don't
- 6:41necessarily want to see price beat this
- 6:43I don't want to see price get above
- 6:44these areas here I don't want price to
- 6:46close Above This imbalance here on a 1
- 6:48hour time frame we're going to go ahead
- 6:49and play out this is not where I'm
- 6:51taking profit by the way this is going
- 6:53to be a drawn price so I know that if
- 6:56price tags me in and it runs beneath
- 6:58this low here we should continue to see
- 7:01a drop to run more liquidity these
- 7:04relative equal lows down here which is
- 7:05also the previous week's lows then I'm
- 7:07going to look to take TP near abouts
- 7:10these lows all I've done is I identified
- 7:12a high time frame Trend price is
- 7:14dropping I waited for price to run above
- 7:16a high it did we're not talking about
- 7:18Monday we're talking about Tuesday what
- 7:20we could have done on Tuesday Tuesday
- 7:21I'm looking to catch the mitigation play
- 7:24in efficiency here up close candle here
- 7:27I want to catch the mitigation play and
- 7:29words I want to be in when mitigation is
- 7:31taking place so what I'm going to do now
- 7:33I'm going to go down to the 15minute
- 7:34time frame because what happens guys is
- 7:36price really gets moving on a 1 hour
- 7:38time frame it just it's just one
- 7:39Candlestick one Candlestick at a time
- 7:41forward once this is where we get tagged
- 7:44in don't forget price is trading higher
- 7:46it's traded through the imbalance so far
- 7:48it's traded through the imbalance the 1
- 7:51hour imbalance but don't forget the 1
- 7:53hour is not over yet it just started it
- 7:56just started it's traded up into past
- 7:59the the low and the open up into the up
- 8:02closed candle and it's tagged me into
- 8:03the trade this is where it tags me in
- 8:05around that 93 Mark and I I believe I
- 8:08had two trades here one was a little
- 8:09higher one was down here let's go to the
- 8:11next candles stick now next Candlestick
- 8:13we pushed down lower don't forget 1 hour
- 8:14is not over yet so just bear that in
- 8:16mind guys let's go again and then next
- 8:18candles stick we go all the way down to
- 8:20the lows we take out these lows and we
- 8:23get down to our level which is the
- 8:25previous day's low it happened in quick
- 8:27time I know there was news that took
- 8:28place too which really spread up this
- 8:29move but I want to show you something on
- 8:31a 1 hour time frame what does it look
- 8:33like the 1 hour time frame there's no
- 8:35closure above the imbalance we've hit
- 8:37that up close candle and then look how
- 8:39we closed we've closed down here so now
- 8:41you guys see how I was able to catch
- 8:42that trade I didn't have to be in from
- 8:44the highest the more riskier play you
- 8:46could have waited for the mitigation
- 8:48play to drop and even if this didn't
- 8:50come up to tag this in so what I missed
- 8:52the trade there will always be another
- 8:54trade just because I've missed a trade
- 8:56one or it didn't play out one time or
- 8:57two times or three times doesn't mean
- 9:00again I'm going to switch up my trading
- 9:01strategy to fit something else so I make
- 9:04sure I catch it no I'm going to play the
- 9:05same game I'm going to keep my trading
- 9:07strategy very boring very boring you
- 9:09know and play the same game wait for the
- 9:11mitigation play get involved and then
- 9:14wait for price to run out these lows
- 9:16which would give me an indication it
- 9:17would want to drop lower so this was the
- 9:19trade that I took that made 1.8k well
- 9:22there was two trades all together so
- 9:24remember that guys I utilize a very very
- 9:26simple strategy is waiting for price to
- 9:29run out liquidity on the top side and if
- 9:32I missed that trade I I think I believe
- 9:34I've told you guys about my my free best
- 9:37entry opportunities I might if I have if
- 9:39I can remember the video I'm going to
- 9:40link it right now my three best pois I
- 9:43can't remember what I named it but
- 9:45basically this is how I would operate
- 9:47and you know what even if this was you
- 9:49you entered from down here this still
- 9:51would have been a juicy trade guys this
- 9:53would have just to get down here this
- 9:54would have been a 1 to 5r trade if this
- 9:56was you who jumped in from nearby this
- 9:58level down here this still would have
- 10:00been a juicy trade guys that's a 1 to NR
- 10:02trade and then one last thing as well
- 10:04guys don't forget you don't need to
- 10:05panic when price Runs Out liquidity when
- 10:08price Runs Out liquidity like this we've
- 10:11taken out liquidity on the top side
- 10:13where's the rest of the money it's going
- 10:14to be on the bottom side that self side
- 10:16liquidity that's where that money is
- 10:18going to be so this is why I took
- 10:19partials down here I took partials not
- 10:21at the very lows I took partials I think
- 10:23around 23 or around these Wicks when
- 10:26price got into these Wicks that's why I
- 10:28took partials in these weeks sometimes
- 10:30you guys message me and say you missed a
- 10:31trade because you was waiting for a
- 10:33certain thing to happen because you was
- 10:35waiting for price to hit 50% of the up
- 10:37close candle now you see why and I
- 10:39hopefully you guys understand why why I
- 10:41don't always off for 50% because
- 10:44sometimes price does not get there so
- 10:46this is why I always opt for somewhere
- 10:47near about the lowest point of the up
- 10:50Clos candle near about the body of the
- 10:52up close candle that area is more likely
- 10:55to be traded into so that means you
- 10:57won't miss a trade and all you have to
- 10:59do is just stomach having a bigger stop-
- 11:01loss just accept the fact you're going
- 11:03to have a larger stop loss than normal
- 11:04yes you could have waited for 50% and
- 11:06had maybe a potential lower stop loss
- 11:08because really truly you don't want to
- 11:10see price move Beyond 50% like that just
- 11:13accept the fact that you're not going to
- 11:14catch perfect entries give yourself a
- 11:17bit of room a little bit of draw down
- 11:18won't hurt you I was in draw down well
- 11:21me personally I was in draw down for um
- 11:24about what I entered in 93 one of my
- 11:27trades I was in draw down by I think one
- 11:30pip and the other one was 1 point
- 11:32something pipets small piece of draw
- 11:34down but look if you had to stomach a
- 11:35two pip or three pip draw down so what
- 11:37guys you're not always going to get
- 11:39perfect
