Full transcript
- 0:00so I just made $4,600 on one single
- 0:02trade using a breakout strategy
- 0:04including volume and Fibonacci and in
- 0:06this video I'm going to show you exactly
- 0:08how to do it with a quick tutorial just
- 0:10to get you an Insight on how Fibonacci
- 0:12and Market structure actually work first
- 0:14we need to identify the overall trend in
- 0:16this case we're focusing on an uptrend
- 0:18so we're looking for a series of higher
- 0:20highs and higher lows this Market
- 0:22structure confirms that buyers are in
- 0:24control and we want to follow their
- 0:26momentum once we've identified the
- 0:28uptrend our goal goal is to wait for a
- 0:30breakout above a recent higher high but
- 0:33instead of entering impulsively we'll
- 0:36use a Fibonacci retracement tool to find
- 0:38the best entry point during the pullback
- 0:41now let's talk about how to use the
- 0:42Fibonacci retracement to time our
- 0:44entries after a higher high is formed
- 0:46we're expecting the price to pull back
- 0:48and create a higher low this is where we
- 0:50draw our Fibonacci levels we're looking
- 0:53for the price to retrace to one of the
- 0:55key Fibonacci levels ideally between the
- 0:5838.2% and the 61.8% levels these levels
- 1:02often act as support in an uptrend and
- 1:05they'll give us the perfect opportunity
- 1:06to enter a trade after the pullback now
- 1:09here's the key part we don't enter the
- 1:11trade just because the price touches a
- 1:13Fibonacci level we need further
- 1:16confirmation this is where volume comes
- 1:18in once the price retraces to a
- 1:20Fibonacci level and begins to move back
- 1:22up we wait for the breakout of the
- 1:24previous higher high with an increase in
- 1:27volume this confirms that there's a
- 1:29strong momentum behind the breakout and
- 1:31we're not looking at a false signal once
- 1:34the price breaks the previous higher
- 1:35high with strong volume we enter the
- 1:37trade at the candle close above the
- 1:39higher high this ensures that the
- 1:41breakout is legitimate and not just a
- 1:43spike for your stop loss you want to
- 1:45place it just below the recent higher
- 1:47low or slightly below the 618 Fibonacci
- 1:50retracement level this protects your
- 1:52trade in case of a sudden reversal now
- 1:54that we've entered the trade let's talk
- 1:56about where to set your take profit here
- 1:58is where we're going to use Fibonacci
- 2:00extensions to Target specific levels for
- 2:02maximum profit we're looking to Target
- 2:04the .5 or the. 618 Fibonacci extension
- 2:09levels these levels are commonly hit
- 2:12during strong breakouts and provide an
- 2:14excellent risk to reward ratio the
- 2:16negative 618 level is particularly
- 2:19powerful in extended uptrends let's go
- 2:21through a real trade example so you can
- 2:23see the strategy in action here we've
- 2:25identified an uptrend with clear higher
- 2:27highs and higher lows after the price
- 2:30makes a new higher high we can see a
- 2:32pull back to the 50% Fibonacci
- 2:34retracement level the price touches the
- 2:3650% level and starts to move higher we
- 2:38wait for the breakout of the previous
- 2:40higher high and we see a strong volume
- 2:42Spike confirming the breakout once the
- 2:45candle closes above the previous higher
- 2:47high we enter the trade our stop loss is
- 2:49placed below the recent higher low and
- 2:52we set our take profit at the negative.
- 2:54618 extension as you can see the price
- 2:56moves up and hits our Target locking in
- 2:59a solid problem so one additional thing
- 3:01that I'd like to emphasize in this and
- 3:03why you shouldn't just go for the
- 3:04retracement entry I had this big
- 3:07engulfing candle here rejecting off of a
- 3:10Fibonacci level I took a long position 1
- 3:13to four risk to reward ratio and because
- 3:16I didn't wait for the break out it ended
- 3:18up reversing on me as it rejected this
- 3:21Mark again I took an even smaller
- 3:23position at half a percent risk and that
- 3:25also went against me once I saw that the
- 3:27momentum was changing because my stop-
- 3:30loss should be the confirmation that the
- 3:32trend is reversing against my initial
- 3:35bias I immediately entered in a short
- 3:38position looking left for my takeprofit
- 3:41and seeing this as the furthest point of
- 3:43my profit Target and this being the
- 3:45safer point which is also a bank level
- 3:48at
- 3:4919,500 so I ended up taking a short
- 3:52position again at a smaller risk because
- 3:54I've already lost two trades so I only
- 3:57risk a half a percent of $1,000 on this
- 4:00and a risk reward ratio of 1 to4 you can
- 4:03see my original confirmation right here
- 4:05off of a Fibonacci level with a volume
- 4:08spike in buy orders and then once my
- 4:10stop loss was hit I jumped down to a
- 4:12lower time frame to look for volume
- 4:14spikes to the cell side and on the one
- 4:17minute chart right when this candle
- 4:19closed which closed below the wick of
- 4:21that previous structure I knew I was
- 4:23good to go so I entered in a short
- 4:25position as you can see right here this
- 4:27was my original 1% risk trade then I
- 4:29risked half a%c on the sell position and
- 4:31got a 1 to four risk to reward overall
- 4:34for the day up 1,400 this is why you
- 4:36should always wait for the break out
- 4:39like I explained in the video and also
- 4:41have the proper stoploss so that if it
- 4:43hits you know you should switch your
- 4:45bias now enjoy this short clip of my
- 4:47trade hitting profit
- 5:01and that's the strategy a simple yet
- 5:03powerful way to scalp using Fibonacci
- 5:05retracements and Market structure by
- 5:07combining these techniques with volume
- 5:09confirmations you can increase the
- 5:11accuracy of your trades and Target key
- 5:13Fibonacci extension levels for better
- 5:16risk to reward setups if you guys
