My Top 3 Trading Strategies — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00In this video, I'm going to show you my
- 0:01top three trading strategies that I use
- 0:04very consistently, but not one over the
- 0:07other. It's kind of a mix of all of
- 0:09them. So, when people ask me how I
- 0:12actually trade, if it's one specific
- 0:14strategy, no. It's a cluster of all the
- 0:16things that make the most sense to me
- 0:18and that are the easiest to spot
- 0:21visually from years of looking at the
- 0:23charts. So, let's get into number one.
- 0:25All of these examples are going to be
- 0:26shown on EUR/USD because it is the most
- 0:29commonly traded major Forex pair. But,
- 0:32this setup can be used on anything,
- 0:34whether it's gold, German 40, the
- 0:37Nasdaq, any stocks, whatever. The price
- 0:41action is always the same. Okay, the
- 0:43first one I'm going to show you is a
- 0:44Fibonacci retracement. In this example,
- 0:47I'm going to show you a bullish trend
- 0:49up. Afterwards, I'm going to show you
- 0:51what a bearish trend looks like. So,
- 0:53basically, what you want to do is see
- 0:56some type of upward movement.
- 0:58Previously, we had bearish structure,
- 1:01and then the momentum started to die
- 1:02off, and we started getting bullish
- 1:04structure. When bullish structure breaks
- 1:07previous bearish structure, the trend is
- 1:10changing. So, you look at the previous
- 1:13high, and when that previous high is
- 1:15broken, the downtrend is broken. So,
- 1:17we're now looking for bullish movement.
- 1:19What I do then is measure the bottom to
- 1:22the top of the move that broke the
- 1:24structure that nullified the previous
- 1:27bearish structure. Take my Fibonacci
- 1:29tool and measure it from bottom to top.
- 1:33Now, let's say you can't see any of this
- 1:35price movement. You just see the low and
- 1:38the high. Once price starts retracing
- 1:41down lower than the 33% level or even
- 1:44the 50% level, that's when you're going
- 1:47to draw your Fibonacci retracement tool
- 1:50from literally all of the swing, the
- 1:52wick included, from bottom to top. And
- 1:55when it gets to the 0.618,
- 1:58that's where I want you to place your
- 1:59limit orders. You place a limit order at
- 2:02the 0.618 level. Your stop loss is the
- 2:06bottom of the impulse move that broke
- 2:09the structure, and your target is the
- 2:12top of the impulse move that broke the
- 2:14structure. This is going to get you,
- 2:16depending on where your trade entry is,
- 2:19from a 1.5
- 2:21to 1.6 risk to reward ratio. I do it at
- 2:25this target specifically because if the
- 2:28structure makes a double top, we still
- 2:30hit our take profit. And when price is
- 2:33trending, you can do this multiple times
- 2:35within a trend. So, looking at the next
- 2:38high point, once price broke that, then
- 2:41you start measuring, and you wait for
- 2:43price to retrace. Draw it from the
- 2:45bottom of the move to the top of the
- 2:47move, and you keep pending orders.
- 2:50Pending orders are safe because if it
- 2:51doesn't retrace deep enough, it won't
- 2:54execute the trade. Because if you
- 2:55execute it up here, your risk to reward
- 2:58would be skewed. And you just keep
- 3:00drawing a horizontal line across the
- 3:02tops of the structure of the bullish
- 3:04trend. Take your Fibonacci tool, draw it
- 3:07from top to bottom, and place a pending
- 3:10order at the Fibonacci level. Stop loss
- 3:13here, take profit here, and you keep
- 3:15doing this in the trend. You do the same
- 3:17thing in bearish momentum. We had a low
- 3:20here, and then price dipped below it.
- 3:22So, price is now trending downwards. You
- 3:25take your Fibonacci retracement tool,
- 3:27and you draw it from the top to the
- 3:29bottom of the move that broke the
- 3:31previous structure. Take your short
- 3:33position, enter a pending order, and
- 3:35like I said, it's going to give you a 1
- 3:37to 1.6 risk to reward ratio. It's not
- 3:39going to tag you into every trade, but
- 3:41this is the most safe way to do this.
- 3:45You will miss some entries, you will
- 3:46regret it, but it's more consistent and
- 3:49safe over time. My number two strategy
- 3:51is RSI divergences and I use this
- 3:54primarily while I'm swing trading very
- 3:58large positions in Bitcoin or Ethereum.
- 4:01The RSI is a momentum indicator and
- 4:04don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
- 4:06When it has a lot of bullish momentum or
- 4:08whether it has a lot of bearish
- 4:09momentum, the RSI will depict that and
- 4:12it will also depict loss of momentum of
- 4:16the buying or the selling. Now, if you
- 4:18just type in relative strength index
- 4:20TradingView gives you a standard one in
- 4:22their technicals. Now, what I want you
- 4:24to do when looking for a bearish
- 4:26divergence, meaning that the divergence
- 4:28signifies a future bearish move, you are
- 4:31looking at the swing highs in bullish
- 4:34price action. This example right here.
- 4:36Again, this is a higher time frame.
- 4:38You're looking at monster swing trades
- 4:40here. Multiple days, weeks, months, and
- 4:42even up to a year. We have our high
- 4:44point here and our high point here. This
- 4:46is seen as bullish momentum, bullish
- 4:49structure, price is going up and should
- 4:51continue to go up. But if you look at
- 4:53the RSI, you will see a high point here,
- 4:56meaning the momentum is very bullish.
- 4:59And then once it makes another higher
- 5:01high in the price movement, but the RSI
- 5:04is lower than the previous high, that
- 5:06means a loss of momentum. People are not
- 5:09as interested in buying anymore. And
- 5:12when people are not as interested in
- 5:13buying anymore, they tend to not keep
- 5:16the price pushing up. Why would the
- 5:18price keep going up if buyers are no
- 5:21longer interested in it? So, you see
- 5:22something like this where the first RSI
- 5:25peak of that movement is above the 70
- 5:28range on the top end and the second peak
- 5:32is within the 70-30 range, that's your
- 5:35entry. You would have anticipated the
- 5:37top of the market had you done this on
- 5:39Bitcoin. And it's not just a fluke. We
- 5:42have that here. Bullish structure, RSI
- 5:44is above the 70-30 range, and the RSI on
- 5:48this one is lower than the previous one,
- 5:50which means a loss of momentum. But, you
- 5:52have to remember my secret sauce. The
- 5:54divergence that is your entry
- 5:56must be within the 70-30 range. So, as
- 5:59price continues up making another higher
- 6:02high, you can finally see that the RSI
- 6:05went within the 70-30 range. Loss of
- 6:08momentum, loss of interested buyers. You
- 6:12would have again anticipated the top of
- 6:14the market in that cycle. I've made
- 6:15videos on this, when I bought, when I
- 6:17sold on this YouTube channel. I've
- 6:19posted it on my Telegram group. You guys
- 6:21all saw my receipts from taking these
- 6:23monstrous trades. I made approximately
- 6:26$350,000
- 6:28buying Bitcoin at the bottom and selling
- 6:30it at the top. And if you're also
- 6:31wondering if it works for guessing the
- 6:33bottom of the market, it does. We have
- 6:35this low right here, followed by the
- 6:37lower low. You draw your tool on here to
- 6:40signify that it is bearish price
- 6:43structure, and then you look at the RSI,
- 6:45and you can see price made a low in the
- 6:48RSI outside of the 70-30 range, and then
- 6:51within the 70-30 range.
- 6:53You would have again anticipated the
- 6:54bottom of the market. Fun fact, we're
- 6:56seeing it again right here, and price
- 6:58has been jumping up. I don't trust this
- 7:00move because I think the economy's going
- 7:01to collapse soon. That's just my tinfoil
- 7:03hat conspiracy theory though. Now, the
- 7:05number three type of trading setup,
- 7:07which I love and I live-streamed for
- 7:09months, day after day after day.
- 7:12All you have to do, this is like the
- 7:14most basic
- 7:16mindless, you don't really need uh high
- 7:20knowledge capacity or skill to do this
- 7:22one. This one's going to be taking the
- 7:25trade after a breakout of the overnight
- 7:28range. The Tokyo session has low volume
- 7:32because a majority of the planet is
- 7:33asleep, so there's less trading activity
- 7:36in the market, and it creates a type of
- 7:38range where price is basically
- 7:40consolidating. Now, what I like to do is
- 7:42draw boxes around that range, and that
- 7:45is my high and low. What I like to do
- 7:48then, after I've defined the high and
- 7:50the low, is place a pending sell order
- 7:54with my stop loss halfway between the
- 7:57range that was developed over Tokyo with
- 8:00a 1:2 risk to reward ratio. I do two
- 8:03positions at the same time. I make a
- 8:06long at the top of the range, again stop
- 8:09loss halfway between the range with a
- 8:121:2 risk to reward ratio. That way,
- 8:16I'm on autopilot. I let price predicate
- 8:19whether one of the other trades is
- 8:21executed. So, the momentum goes and it
- 8:25executes one of the trades, and I have a
- 8:271:2 risk to reward ratio. So, that if
- 8:31this one breaks out, enters, then hits
- 8:34my stop loss, and I lose 1% on it, and
- 8:38the next one executes up, it will hit
- 8:41take profit, and then I will be up 1%
- 8:44for the day. So, the
- 8:46winning trade makes up for the losing
- 8:48trade, and I just do this every day.
- 8:52When Tokyo session range is small, you
- 8:56cannot do this when there is a high
- 8:58amount of volatility and price movement
- 9:00during the Tokyo session. That means a
- 9:03major news event came out during Tokyo.
- 9:05The range is too large, which will then
- 9:08increase your position size and give you
- 9:11a risk to reward ratio because if
- 9:14price moves, let's say 100 pips over
- 9:17Tokyo session, you're not going to be
- 9:19expecting a 100 pip movement during
- 9:21London session. That is illogical. We're
- 9:24looking for ranges of 20 to 30 pips over
- 9:27Tokyo, and I like it because it's
- 9:29consistent and it's easy. But, one thing
- 9:33I like to do if the trade hasn't closed
- 9:36by the time New York session's been open
- 9:38for an hour, I close all positions
- 9:41because then we get days like this where
- 9:42it's just consolidating. You don't want
- 9:44to be trapped in this chop. And just as
- 9:46a bonus, I'm going to give you one more,
- 9:48and this is something that you can trade
- 9:51without having to analyze the charts by
- 9:52yourself. You get a buy or sell signal.
- 9:55Okay, if you guys have seen my older
- 9:57videos, you know I like to trade when my
- 10:00moving averages line up cuz I know that
- 10:02they're starting to be a new trend and a
- 10:04lot of momentum. This indicator right
- 10:06here is called Stair Master, and it'll
- 10:08actually give you a setup or a buy or
- 10:11sell signal once price has broken
- 10:13through this stylized moving average.
- 10:16Once you get the signal, you enter a
- 10:17trade and put your stop loss for a sell
- 10:20above the previous candle's high, and
- 10:22you're targeting a 1:1.5 risk to reward.
- 10:25Again, the moving average color must be
- 10:27bearish in order for a bearish position,
- 10:30and the moving average must be bullish
- 10:32colored blue for a bullish position. And
- 10:34for a long position, stop loss below the
- 10:36previous candle's low with a 1:1.5 risk
- 10:39to reward ratio. This is not a perfect
- 10:41indicator, and you will not get a 99%
- 10:44win rate, but you will be consistent,
- 10:47and you won't have to worry about or
- 10:49stress about should you enter this
- 10:51trade. It's see the signal, enter the
- 10:54trade within high volatility time
- 10:57periods like the London session or the
- 11:00New York session. This will get chopped
- 11:02to bits over the Tokyo session because
- 11:04like I said previously, that is a static
- 11:07range where there is low volatility and
- 11:10low volume. Now, this indicator you can
- 11:12purchase at trdfloor.com.
- 11:15They have a whole basket of like seven
- 11:17different indicators that you get with
- 11:18it. This was just this one as an
- 11:20example. They also teach you how to
- 11:21trade price action, market structure,
- 11:23smart money concepts, all of it.
- 11:25Definitely go check it out. Anyway, if
- 11:26you guys enjoyed this video or one of
- 11:28these strategies stuck out more than the
- 11:30other one to you, and you want to hear
- 11:32more about it and get it more in-depth
