I Took My #1 Trading Setup Live — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Yesterday, I showed you the strategy
- 0:01that I trust the most. And today, you
- 0:03will actually watch me take this trade
- 0:06with this strategy in real time. If you
- 0:08guys trade RSI divergences like I showed
- 0:11in yesterday's video, like this example
- 0:14that just fired on the chart on EuroUSD
- 0:17on a one minute time frame, the one
- 0:19thing that you need to keep in mind more
- 0:20than anything else on the entire planet
- 0:23is the time of day. We get so lost in
- 0:26the charts and trying to analyze things
- 0:28that when you see some setup and you're
- 0:31like, "Cool, this is perfect. I'm going
- 0:32to get in. Everything's fine." You
- 0:34forget that it's like 8:58 a.m. And then
- 0:39you get into a position 2 minutes later
- 0:41it starts going crazy. The volatility
- 0:43makes no sense. All of the structure is
- 0:46broken because before that it was low
- 0:48volume, low volatility. And now the
- 0:50market's open and it's nuts. Jeez, I
- 0:54can't even do this without glasses
- 0:55anymore. Now, this trade that fired
- 0:57right here with the regular bearish
- 0:59divergence, I didn't get in right away
- 1:01because I had to take my kid to school
- 1:02and I just got home. It's raining and
- 1:04traffic was a pain in the ass. But now
- 1:06that I'm down here in my trading
- 1:08dungeon, I realized that it was like
- 1:108:50. The Frankfurt session's about to
- 1:13start in Germany, same time zone as me.
- 1:15And I was like, dude, that's a pretty
- 1:16strong divergence, man. RSI peaked out
- 1:19of the 70 range. The next high is deep
- 1:22within the 7030 range. And all I wanted
- 1:25to do, I just got into this trade. It
- 1:27went against me for a little bit, but
- 1:28all I want to do is hold this until the
- 1:31RSI gets down here to the 30 range. And
- 1:33then I'm out. So basically what I did
- 1:35was I entered right here and I put my
- 1:37stop loss between these two right here.
- 1:39This high and this high. I don't know
- 1:41where my target is. All I want is that
- 1:44RSI to get down to the 30. I think it's
- 1:46healthy trade. It's got good structure.
- 1:49Bullish momentum died off with the
- 1:51divergence breaking down below previous
- 1:54structure. And you can see it's
- 1:56maintaining that bearish structure. I'm
- 1:58loving the shape of this move.
- 2:00Everything's good. We don't even have
- 2:02any high impact news right now until
- 2:04like the next 5 hours. So, I'm going to
- 2:06let this roll for a little bit and we'll
- 2:08see what happens because trading is
- 2:10boring and the best thing that you can
- 2:11do is wait. In the meantime, I clean my
- 2:14desk. And this is where I think a lot of
- 2:16traders actually hurt themselves because
- 2:18once you're in a trade, suddenly every
- 2:21candle feels important. You get a candle
- 2:24going against you and you start thinking
- 2:26maybe I should move my stop. Then price
- 2:29moves in your favor and you think maybe
- 2:31I should take profit now. And then
- 2:33there's pullbacks a little bit and
- 2:35suddenly you're questioning the entire
- 2:37setup. But none of those things were
- 2:39part of the plan when you entered.
- 2:41You're basically making new decisions
- 2:44every 60 seconds based on whatever the
- 2:47last candle did. And I've done this
- 2:49enough times to know that for me,
- 2:51sometimes the best thing I can possibly
- 2:54do is just get away from the screen. So
- 2:56that's literally what I'm doing here.
- 2:58I'm cleaning my office. The trade
- 3:00doesn't need me watching it. My stop
- 3:03loss is already there. My risk is
- 3:05defined. I know exactly what I'm waiting
- 3:08for. If this trade hits my stop, then I
- 3:11was wrong, and that's fine. That's what
- 3:13the stop loss is there for. If price
- 3:16continues moving in my direction, I'm
- 3:18going to let it do its thing until the
- 3:21reason I plan to exit actually happens.
- 3:24And I think that's an important
- 3:26distinction. Having discipline doesn't
- 3:28always mean doing something. Sometimes
- 3:31discipline is not interfering with the
- 3:34plan. It's allowing the trade you
- 3:36planned before all the emotions kicked
- 3:38in to actually play itself out. So, I'm
- 3:41going to shut up now, speed this up,
- 3:44clear the disaster of an office that I
- 3:46have, and we'll see whether the price
- 3:48gets down to that RSI 30 level, or maybe
- 3:51I'll just showcase a huge failure.
- 3:53Either way, this is going to be valuable
- 3:55content for you guys.
- 3:59All right. [clears throat] So,
- 4:02RSI currently right now is 31.9
- 4:05and my target was 30. So, we've had some
- 4:09nice bearish momentum. I mean, it took a
- 4:12while. It consolidated for a little bit,
- 4:15but this is a really nice healthy move
- 4:17because of that divergence and because
- 4:19the market is opening. And when the
- 4:21market opens, it chooses a direction for
- 4:24the day usually or at least for the
- 4:27session. So, now that we're at 31.98
- 4:31on the uh on the RSI, I think it's a
- 4:34nice healthy level to close. So, what
- 4:36I'm going to do is I'm going to open up
- 4:38my MT5 account. You can see I am $25 in
- 4:43profit. Zoom this out to the five minute
- 4:45chart. You can see that's where I
- 4:47entered and uh right now it's here at
- 4:50previous structure. You know, we're
- 4:52oversold. If you want to see that on the
- 4:54one minute chart, you can see we I
- 4:56entered and then we had that spike up
- 4:58and it's been going down ever since. So,
- 5:00this is a nice little exit area for me.
- 5:03Huge profit on the account. I mean, it's
- 5:06a $122 account. So, I'm happy.
- 5:11And that's kind of how I want you guys
- 5:12to trade. I want you guys to trust the
- 5:15buyers and the sellers. And I want you
- 5:18to trust their interest in the market.
- 5:21You are not trying to guess which
- 5:24direction the price is going to go. You
- 5:27are following the momentum.
- 5:30And following the momentum means being
- 5:32able to read between the lines. Being
- 5:35able to see when buyers don't want to
- 5:38buy anymore. You want to see when
- 5:42sellers are no longer interested in
- 5:44selling anymore. The RSI is a momentum
- 5:48indicator. People that are heavy sellers
- 5:50aren't usually going to get into new
- 5:53sell orders at the bottom of the RSI
- 5:56range on that specific time frame.
- 5:59They're going to get in when the buyers
- 6:02are already exhausted. The buyers were
- 6:04exhausted here. They were no longer
- 6:06interested in buying, bringing the price
- 6:08up. So that's when sellers get in and
- 6:11they take it down until they've run
- 6:14their race, their section of the chart.
- 6:17And that's what the RSI tells you. It
- 6:19goes out of the range when price is
- 6:21going up above the 70 range and then it
- 6:24goes down below the 30 and now the
- 6:27buyers are going to look into getting
- 6:29into price at these levels. But they're
- 6:32also going to wait for the sellers to
- 6:33get exhausted. So there's going to be a
- 6:35little bit of buying pressure like there
- 6:37is right now with the 30. Sellers might
- 6:39get a second win to push it down, but
- 6:42they're not going to push it down
- 6:44enough. And we'll probably end up seeing
- 6:47another RSI divergence here as price
- 6:50potentially makes another lower low and
- 6:52then goes up while the RSI makes a
- 6:55higher low. And that's going to be your
- 6:59bullish divergence for a long position.
- 7:01I really wanted to make this example for
- 7:03you guys so that you can see not only
- 7:05one how boring trading is, but how you
- 7:08just have to be in the market and sit on
- 7:11your hands. Because most traders when
- 7:14they see chop like this, they would have
- 7:16been stopped out here, stopped out here.
- 7:18And this back and forth makes them start
- 7:21buying and selling without trusting the
- 7:24direction of the previous signal that
- 7:26the market's buyers and sellers were
- 7:29showing you. loss of interest in buying
- 7:31and loss of interest in selling at
- 7:34specific levels based on the RSI, which
- 7:37is the momentum of the markets. That's
- 7:39the whole point of this video. I just
- 7:41wanted to show you a real life example
- 7:43of a real life trade on a real life
- 7:45small account and how all it takes is
- 7:48the ability to identify something, trust
- 7:52that you've identified it correctly, and
- 7:54wait for a specific target that you've
- 7:57predicated based on the momentum based
- 8:00on the interest of buyers and sellers. I
- 8:02felt like it was important to make this
- 8:03video to show you guys the process of
- 8:05trading and how you use your knowledge
- 8:09to identify what the market is doing.
- 8:12And what the market is doing is what the
- 8:14buyers and the sellers are doing.
- 8:16They're always both active all the time.
- 8:19They're just looking for their
- 8:20opportunities. And when enough of them
- 8:22start doing it, you just follow their
- 8:24coattails. Don't try to get a zero draw
- 8:27down trade. Don't try to time the
- 8:29perfect market. Watch the momentum. If
- 8:32bullish momentum dies off, that's when
- 8:34sellers get interested. Once they start
- 8:36selling, that's when you should get
- 8:38interested. And you know that sellers
- 8:40get less interested on the bottom part
- 8:43of the RSI range as we saw in the
- 8:45example on the chart. And that's why I
- 8:47held the trade without a defined
- 8:49takerit, but manually closing when RSI
- 8:52hit the 30 level. You do this
- 8:54consistently week after week, month
- 8:56after month, year after year, you'll be
- 8:58in a good position. If you want the full
- 9:00in-depth tutorial of this trading
- 9:02strategy, watch this video right here.
