If I Had to Make $500 by Tomorrow, I’d Use This Trading Strategy — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00I have been trading for 10 years, but if
2. 0:02I had to start over on day one and make
3. 0:04$500 by tomorrow, this is the strategy
4. 0:06that I would use. It has a 73% win rate,
5. 0:10never lost more than three trades in a
6. 0:12row, and finds a trade every single day.
7. 0:16And I'm going to show you the long-term
8. 0:17backtest for proof. It's not order flow,
9. 0:20it's not ICT, and you don't need any
10. 0:22trading experience to follow it, which
11. 0:24means anyone can trade this strategy
12. 0:27successfully. Now, the last time I found
13. 0:29something this simple, I released the
14. 0:30first candle rule, and this created a
15. 0:33wave of profitable traders. But this
16. 0:35time, we're going to do things a little
17. 0:37differently, because not only will I
18. 0:39teach you all three steps over multiple
19. 0:41chart examples, but I'm also going to
20. 0:43give you a free indicator that marks
21. 0:45your entry, stop loss, and your target
22. 0:48right on your chart for you. So that
23. 0:50way, whenever you finish this video and
24. 0:52you go to trade, you actually have a
25. 0:54tool that tells you whether or not the
26. 0:56execution is valid. Now, this strategy
27. 0:58is fully mechanical, which means that
28. 1:00you have clear rules for getting in,
29. 1:02taking profit, and knowing when you're
30. 1:04done for the day. And once you see how
31. 1:06simple this system is, you will never
32. 1:08look at trading the same way again. Now,
33. 1:10let's take a look at the results so you
34. 1:12can see how it performed yourself. Here
35. 1:14is the full year from September 2025 all
36. 1:17the way to date in September 2026. A
37. 1:20total of 384 trades, 73% win rate, and
38. 1:24just over $49,000
39. 1:26in net profit only trading one NQ
40. 1:29contract, which only takes about $1,000
41. 1:32of margin, or you can trade on a prop
42. 1:34firm that costs as little as $50. But
43. 1:37what I want you to notice goes far
44. 1:38beyond the win rate and the profits.
45. 1:40Now, the average trade lasted about 9
46. 1:43minutes from entry to exit, and the
47. 1:45longest losing streak in the test was
48. 1:46only three trades in a row, and a setup
49. 1:49appeared every single one of the 258
50. 1:52sessions that were tested. I mean, like
51. 1:54in all of my 10 years of trading, I have
52. 1:56literally never seen something as
53. 1:58simple, yet powerful, as the
54. 2:00step-by-step system that you're about to
55. 2:01learn. And even though it's fully
56. 2:03mechanical and easy to spot, I wanted to
57. 2:05make this absolutely foolproof. So, I
58. 2:07made a free indicator that will
59. 2:09literally paint the trade entries on
60. 2:11your screen. That way there is no room
61. 2:13for guessing. So, if you want to get
62. 2:14access to that indicator, along with
63. 2:16every single one of the trades in this
64. 2:18back test, that way you can see the
65. 2:20proof for yourself, I will leave a link
66. 2:22to my free trading community. Inside is
67. 2:24where I will post the indicator and the
68. 2:26back test results. Now, let's get into
69. 2:27some chart examples. But, before we
70. 2:29start, I want to walk you through the
71. 2:31three mechanical steps to this strategy.
72. 2:33Step number one is we're going to mark
73. 2:35our breakout levels. Step number two is
74. 2:38we're going to wait for a confirmed
75. 2:39breakout. Step number three is we're
76. 2:42going to manage the trade and know when
77. 2:44you take one trade or two. Because on
78. 2:47some days, this strategy will give you
79. 2:48two trades. So, I want to show you how
80. 2:50to know when you're just going to take
81. 2:51one or on days that you're going to find
82. 2:53multiple trades. So, let's go ahead and
83. 2:55get started with example number one. All
84. 2:57right, so let's start with a recent
85. 2:59example on September 21st, and we are on
86. 3:02NASDAQ, and this is the asset you want
87. 3:05to use for this strategy. So, the ticker
88. 3:07is going to be NQ. Make sure you only
89. 3:09use the strategy on NASDAQ. And we're
90. 3:12going to make sure we're on the 5-minute
91. 3:14chart, and you're going to stay on the
92. 3:15same time frame for the entirety of this
93. 3:17strategy. Next, we're going to wait for
94. 3:19this 9:30 candle to close. Then, what we
95. 3:22want to do is head over here to our
96. 3:24indicator and make sure we have the SSM
97. 3:27indicator on. SSM stands for the short
98. 3:30session method, which is the name of the
99. 3:31strategy. And as you can see, it's going
100. 3:33to paint out the high and the low of
101. 3:35this candle. You may have seen some
102. 3:37similar strategies with first candles,
103. 3:39but here is where this one takes a
104. 3:40twist. Notice the yellow line inside
105. 3:43this candle. What that's showing you is
106. 3:45the session VWAP, or volume weighted
107. 3:49average price. And this is what makes
108. 3:50this strategy so consistent and
109. 3:52different from other first candle
110. 3:54strategies. Now this is simple but
111. 3:56important and if you mess this up then
112. 3:57the whole strategy won't work. So notice
113. 3:59right here where that line is. It's
114. 4:01inside that candle. If you just use VWAP
115. 4:04from TradingView, you'll notice that the
116. 4:06level is way down here. So we can't have
117. 4:08that kind of discrepancy if we want to
118. 4:10trade this consistently. Now the reason
119. 4:12for this is this is showing VWAP over
120. 4:14time and the line in ours is showing us
121. 4:16the session VWAP. So it's very important
122. 4:19you use the correct one. Now these two
123. 4:21levels are the only levels we're going
124. 4:22to use for our breakout levels in this
125. 4:24strategy. Now you may be wondering, okay
126. 4:26cool, these levels are great but where
127. 4:28do I actually execute a trade? So now
128. 4:29let's get right into step number two
129. 4:31which is confirming our breakout. And
130. 4:33this is what this makes this system so
131. 4:34game-changing and makes it so literally
132. 4:36anyone can use it. Now the entry is
133. 4:38fully mechanical and the indicator is
134. 4:41literally going to tell you when it's
135. 4:42valid. Now to confirm our breakout, all
136. 4:44you need to do is wait for the market to
137. 4:46trade to one of these levels. Now to be
138. 4:49clear, a wick through the line doesn't
139. 4:51count and closing exactly on the line
140. 4:53doesn't count either. But if you get a
141. 4:55five-minute level closing through the
142. 4:57level and VWAP is on your side, that is
143. 5:01a valid trade. Another thing I want to
144. 5:02point out is notice how we are above
145. 5:04VWAP with the candle close. This is very
146. 5:06important as well. So getting a
147. 5:08five-minute close through either level
148. 5:10and VWAP being on your side, that is a
149. 5:12valid breakout. As you can see here, the
150. 5:14indicator will literally tell you when
151. 5:16the trade is confirmed. That way you're
152. 5:18never guessing. In this example and in
153. 5:20most trades with this strategy, you get
154. 5:22an entry just 10 minutes into the
155. 5:24session on that very next candle. And
156. 5:26this makes this system so predictable
157. 5:28because you know that your trading will
158. 5:29be done in just a few minutes on most
159. 5:31days. Some days you don't get an entry
160. 5:33on this very next candle and that's
161. 5:35okay. As long as the five-minute candle
162. 5:37closes through one of the breakout
163. 5:38levels and VWAP is on your side, then it
164. 5:40is a valid trade. Okay, so now that
165. 5:42we've got a breakout, but where do we
166. 5:44actually set our target and our stop
167. 5:45loss? And here is where this strategy is
168. 5:47different than anything you've ever
169. 5:49seen. All right, so now on to step
170. 5:51number three, which is how we manage the
171. 5:53trade. As soon as the candle closes, you
172. 5:55enter the trade. And the stop loss is
173. 5:57going to go right at the base of the
174. 6:00candle that broke through the level.
175. 6:02Now, here is how the target works. In
176. 6:04the past, you usually see these
177. 6:05strategies with a fixed two to one risk
178. 6:07to reward. But, whenever I tested this
179. 6:09strategy, what I discovered told a
180. 6:11different story. Because for this
181. 6:13strategy, you don't need a three to one.
182. 6:15You don't need a two to one. You don't
183. 6:16even need a one to one. In fact, our
184. 6:19target is only going to be half the
185. 6:20distance from our entry as our stop
186. 6:22loss. So, to plot this out, you can go
187. 6:24over here to the left on TradingView,
188. 6:26click this button, and since we broke
189. 6:27through the high, we're going to be
190. 6:28entering a long position. So, you'd
191. 6:31click right here, and then we know that
192. 6:32we're going to enter right on the close
193. 6:34of this candle, and then our stop loss
194. 6:36is going to go right down here at the
195. 6:38low, and our target is right here. So,
196. 6:40it's only about a 0.5 return. To enter
197. 6:43the trade, you go over here on
198. 6:44TradingView and click the buy button.
199. 6:46Then, we're going to select our take
200. 6:48profit and our stop loss. So, now our
201. 6:50trade set up and all of the work is
202. 6:51done. We just let the market do the
203. 6:53lifting for us. And as you can see, in
204. 6:55the very next 5 minutes, the target is
205. 6:57hit. And something that a lot of newer
206. 6:58traders need to realize is that you
207. 7:00don't have to catch huge trades in order
208. 7:02to be profitable. As you've seen in the
209. 7:04backtested results of this strategy. In
210. 7:06fact, since these trades play out very
211. 7:08quickly with little room for drawdown,
212. 7:10it actually makes them optimal for
213. 7:12trading prop firms. And the high win
214. 7:14rate helps you avoid big losing streaks
215. 7:16that kill most traders. Now, it really
216. 7:18is that stupid simple. But, if you still
217. 7:21feel like you might need a little
218. 7:22guidance when trading this, I actually
219. 7:24have a live trading room where you can
220. 7:25join and trade alongside me. As a bonus,
221. 7:28you get to have all of your trades
222. 7:29reviewed to make sure you're taking them
223. 7:31correctly, and you get to learn
224. 7:32everything I know about trading and ask
225. 7:34me any questions you like. If that
226. 7:35sounds interesting to you, I will leave
227. 7:37a link down in the description. Now,
228. 7:38let's take a look at the second example,
229. 7:40that way you understand what to do on a
230. 7:42day that has two trades instead of just
231. 7:44one. All right, so now let's take a look
232. 7:46at September 25th, which is another
233. 7:48recent example. That way you understand
234. 7:50how to handle a two trade day. So, we're
235. 7:52going to start out the day the same as
236. 7:53any other day, simply following our
237. 7:55three steps. We're going to let the
238. 7:57indicator mark our high and low, and
239. 7:59then we wait for the closed candle above
240. 8:01VWAP to confirm our breakout, and the
241. 8:03indicator paints all of our levels right
242. 8:05here on the chart for us. And then we
243. 8:07enter the trade and sit back and let the
244. 8:09market do the heavy lifting for us. As
245. 8:12you can see, we hit right into our
246. 8:13target again in the next 5 minutes. But,
247. 8:16what does it take in order for us to be
248. 8:17able to get into another trade? Well,
249. 8:19there are three simple rules we can
250. 8:21follow. Number one, the first trade has
251. 8:23to be fully closed out. Number two, you
252. 8:26need a new 5-minute candle to close
253. 8:28through the opposite level. So, in this
254. 8:29example, we closed through the high, you
255. 8:31would want another one to close through
256. 8:32the low in order for it to be a valid
257. 8:34trade. And the third rule is that
258. 8:36another entry can happen regardless if
259. 8:38the first trade was a winner or a loser.
260. 8:41So, now we just wait for the market to
261. 8:43possibly trade down into the low. Now,
262. 8:45if the market just keeps trading higher,
263. 8:47there's no trade for us. So, you got to
264. 8:48be patient here and make sure you stick
265. 8:50to the system. Now, as we can see, the
266. 8:52market closes back into those first
267. 8:555-minute range, and we're now under
268. 8:57VWAP. So, the only thing it takes is a
269. 8:58candle closer through this low. Now,
270. 9:00right here, we did trade into the level,
271. 9:02but we didn't quite get it. Now, as you
272. 9:04can see, the indicator doesn't paint a
273. 9:06signal for us to entry because we didn't
274. 9:08get a candle closer through the low.
275. 9:10But, on the very next candle, we did get
276. 9:12a closer through the low. So, now we
277. 9:13have another valid trade setup. So, then
278. 9:16we enter the trade, painting out the
279. 9:17exact stop loss and target that the
280. 9:19indicator provides for us, and sit back
281. 9:21and let the market do its thing. And as
282. 9:23you can see, it hits right into the
283. 9:25target on the very next candle. So, on
284. 9:27this day, we finished up with over
285. 9:29$1,000, and both trades were done within
286. 9:3252 minutes from the open, and both of
287. 9:34them took less than 10 minutes to play
288. 9:36out. Hopefully, you're starting to
289. 9:37realize just how simple trading really
290. 9:39can be. I went ahead and put every rule
291. 9:41and the indicator setup into this simple
292. 9:43checklist. You can go ahead and grab it
293. 9:45or screenshot it here. I'll put this in
294. 9:47the free community along with the
295. 9:48indicator and the backtest. So, there
296. 9:50you have it, guys. This is the strategy
297. 9:52I would use if I had to start over from
298. 9:54scratch and make $500 by tomorrow. It is
299. 9:57so simple that I believe anyone can use
300. 9:59this strategy. Now, you've seen the
301. 10:00backtest, you've watched the trades
302. 10:02played out, and you've learned the three
303. 10:03steps behind them. And whenever you open
304. 10:05your own chart, you're going to have a
305. 10:07tool marking the exact setup. That way
306. 10:09you have clarity and confidence, and
307. 10:11you're able to execute consistently. So,
308. 10:13if you've been trying to become a
309. 10:14profitable trader, but you haven't
310. 10:16really known where to start or you felt
311. 10:17overwhelmed, now you have something
312. 10:19specific to work on. So, stay focused,
313. 10:21give yourself a chance to learn this
314. 10:23properly, put it into practice, and
315. 10:24build from there. I believe that this
316. 10:26system will be a game-changer for the
317. 10:28space, simply because it is so clear
318. 10:30that anyone can follow it. Just remember
319. 10:33to stay consistent, and also remember
320. 10:34that not every trade will be a winner. I
321. 10:37believe in you, you can do this. I'm
322. 10:38going to put two videos on your screen.
