0:00What's up, guys? This is my updated
0:02strategy video. I have made over
0:04$700,000 from this strategy alone, from
0:07this year. So, I decided I haven't made
0:10one of these in a while. Might as well
0:11go over my exact strategy step by step,
0:14bar for bar, and back test it with you
0:16guys so you guys can understand it
0:17completely. First, what I want to do is
0:20before we get on the charts, show you
0:22guys proof. So, this here is Trade Zela.
0:26As we can see, this was from January 1st
0:27of 2026 to June 1st of 2026. Um, in the
0:32month of January, I made around $41,000.
0:35In the month of February, I made
0:37$148,000.
0:39In the month of March, I made $293,000.
0:42It actually could have been a lot more
0:44had I not uh upped the risk at the end.
0:47I was doing really well at the start of
0:49this month, but um and then in April
0:51made around $230,000.
0:54And then finally, this was last month. I
0:57didn't do the best last month, uh, but I
1:00made around $34,000. And I know what you
1:02guys are saying. You guys are probably
1:03saying, "Oh, well, Tradezella,
1:05Tradzella, you can manually input
1:07trades." Well, this is actually directly
1:10connected to my broker. So, whenever I
1:12take a trade, it automatically gets
1:13uploaded to Tradzella. But, I can go
1:16ahead and go on here and show you guys
1:19on this account. Boom. This is a live
1:23account as you guys can see down here.
1:26Okay.
1:27And if we see this year I've made
1:30$874,782.
1:33And you're probably saying, "Well, oh,
1:35those numbers are different than what
1:37was on Tradezella." Well, that's right.
1:39Because on Trade Zella, it subtracts the
1:41fees and the swap. So if you subtract
1:43the fees from the broker and you
1:45subtract the swap, then you get the
1:47exact same amount that I have made on
1:51Tradzella. So again, literally every
1:53single one of these trades are directly
1:55uploaded to Tradzella. Tradzella is just
1:58the journaling platform that helps me
1:59see it in a little bit of a cleaner way.
2:01And it also helps me see my win rate and
2:04my average risk-to-reward, which as we
2:06can see here, if we look at my overall
2:09win rate and my average risk-to-reward,
2:11my daily win rate is around 64% or
2:1464.29% and my average risk-to-reward on
2:17a trade is a 123.3,
2:20which is pretty good. So, pretty much
2:21every single winning trade I'm making on
2:23average $22,000. And every single losing
2:26trade, I'm losing around $16,000.
2:29And actually, this win rate should be a
2:32little bit higher. Um, because some of
2:36the break even trades, I'll show you
2:37guys the most recent one. This trade got
2:41stopped out at break even, but sometimes
2:44break even trades end up being a loss.
2:46So, it counts it as a loss because
2:48again, I didn't lose se or I did lose
2:51780 bucks on this, but this was a
2:54technically me getting stopped out at
2:55break even. you know, you take this plus
2:58the fee, you're getting a negative one
3:00uh $1,180
3:03in P&L, so it counts it as a loss. So,
3:05my win rate is actually a little bit
3:08higher than what it says on here. Uh the
3:10risk-to-reward is pretty on on on
3:14target, but as we can see, this year
3:16I've been trading incredible. Um I
3:18haven't had a single losing month. Oops,
3:20this that goes into June. Um but I
3:23haven't had a single losing month. I
3:24have had some months where, you know,
3:26it's been a little bit rickety. You
3:28know, like in January, I only made
3:31$41,000. In February, I did good. March
3:34I did good. April, I did good. And then
3:36this past month of May, I didn't um
3:38didn't trade the best. It was kind of
3:39back and forth. I honestly thought I was
3:41going to end the month red. But I'm
3:43still yet to have a red month this year.
3:45So, with all of that being said, I'm
3:48going to explain to you guys the
3:49strategy that I use throughout trading
3:52this entire year. And this is pretty
3:54much pretty similar to what I've been
3:58trading um historically. It's using all
4:01of the same concepts, but I do think
4:04that there's a couple tweaks that I
4:06should let you guys know about. Um that
4:09has just made my strategy, in my
4:11opinion, safer, more efficient, and has
4:15helped me actually take less trades. I
4:17know you guys are probably thinking, "We
4:19don't want to take less trades." we want
4:21to take more trades. And that's actually
4:24not what you guys want to do. Um, in
4:26fact, if you guys end up taking less
4:28trades, uh, it just means that you're
4:30protecting yourself from more losses.
4:32I'm sure a lot of you guys have probably
4:34taken a lot of losses in trading and you
4:37guys realize that the more you trade,
4:38the more you lose. So, strategy, I'm
4:41going to break down essentially what our
4:43trading strategy is supposed to be um
4:47before we get into actually breaking
4:48everything down step by step because I
4:50think that's super important. So, first
4:51of all, we need to break down what is
4:54trading like what is trading supposed to
4:56be? And in my head, trading is supposed
4:58to be
5:00getting onto the markets every single
5:02day over a long period of time and
5:04accurately predicting where price wants
5:06to go with a high probability on a daily
5:08basis. So, let's break that down. If we
5:12get into the markets and we're able to
5:13accurately predict where this little
5:16price movement wants to go with a high
5:19probability on a daily basis, we are
5:22going to end up making money. Now, what
5:24does our strategy help us do? Does our
5:27strategy help us predict where price
5:28wants to go? Yes, to an extent. But what
5:32does our strategy actually help us most
5:34in? It helps us not take low probability
5:38trades because there's a trade to be
5:40taken every single second. I could say,
5:42"Hey, I want to buy this right now." And
5:44then price could go down and then boom,
5:45I lost that trade. Technically, there's
5:47an opportunity to trade from 9:30 a.m.
5:50in the morning, Eastern time, all the
5:52way until 5 until market closes. So,
5:55what does the strategy actually help us
5:57do? It helps us not to take trades and
6:00it helps us give us, I guess you could
6:03say, signals of when we are actually
6:06going to get a high probability trade.
6:08Now, you're probably saying, well, how
6:10do we know it's a high probability
6:11trade? Well, we collect data. So, that's
6:14exactly why I showed you guys this at
6:16the beginning of the video, because I
6:19have data backing my strategy. So, I
6:22have proven that over just from this
6:25year up until now that my strategy when
6:28I take the trades following my
6:30step-by-step strategy, it gives me
6:33around a little bit over a 64% win rate.
6:36And when I win, I'm making around 1 to
6:381.33 risk to uh risk-to-reward ratio,
6:42meaning my wins are going to be bigger
6:43than my losses and also meaning I'm
6:46going to win more than I lose. So
6:48imagine trading is like a coin flip.
6:51Okay? So we have a coin and you know
6:54obviously the coin is either going to
6:55land on heads or tails. You're going to
6:57have pretty much a 50/50 chance of
6:59whether it's going to land on heads or
7:00tails. That's what trading is without a
7:02strategy. If you're trading without a
7:04strategy, you're pretty much just taking
7:06a guess of, hey, I think price is going
7:09to go up or price is going to go down.
7:10You have no edge. You have no
7:12probability. You have no data backing
7:14whether or not this is actually going to
7:15be the case. But when we have a
7:17strategy, we have a coin that is
7:20weighted on our side. Does it mean we
7:22are going to win every single time? No,
7:24of course not. Because anybody that says
7:26they have a 100% win rate strategy is
7:29just straight up lying to you. But what
7:32we do know is when I execute on this
7:35strategy and when I follow my strategy
7:37to a te, I know that probability is on
7:39my side. Meaning, I'm going to win more
7:41than I lose. And when I do win, I'm
7:44going to make more money than when I do
7:46lose. So I win more than when I lose.
7:49And I make more money when I win than
7:51when I lose. So those are two
7:53probabilities that I'm personally going
7:55to want to take every single time I see
7:58my strategy present itself. So when I
8:01see my strategy present itself, you guys
8:03are probably saying, you know, obviously
8:06psychology plays a lot into this where
8:09people are like, "Oh man, like how do
8:12you have the confidence to take a
8:13trade?" The confidence is in the data.
8:16So if you guys haven't connected either
8:18your demo account to some sort of
8:21trading platform and you don't even have
8:22to use you don't even have to use
8:24Tradzella. Tradzella just does it for
8:26you. It just connects to the broker and
8:27then every time you take a trade, it
8:28just boom syncs it up and gives you
8:30spits out this data for you. But you
8:32guys can use a spreadsheet. If your
8:35broker offers it, awesome. Then you guys
8:37can look at that. But you need to be
8:39collecting data on your strategy because
8:42if you guys aren't collecting data, then
8:44your strategy very well could be like a
8:4630% win rate with a z one to 0.5
8:51risk-to-reward ratio. And that means,
8:54well, one, you suck at trading. And and
8:56two, why are you using that strategy?
8:58Because the data isn't backing it.
9:00You're you're going to lose more than
9:02you win. And when you lose, you're
9:04losing more money than when you when you
9:06win the trades. So, obviously, you're
9:08not going to be profitable long term.
9:10So, we need to understand all of these
9:12things before actually establishing our
9:15strategy. Now, for me, I've already
9:17established this and I kind of did the
9:19dirty work for you guys. But if you guys
9:22watch this video, I by all means, I
9:23don't want you guys to watch this video
9:25and just say like, "Yeah, TJR strategy,
9:28he already back tested it for me, so
9:29it's going to work for me." You know? I
9:31mean, I did do the dirty work and I've
9:34been doing this for a really long time,
9:36but I highly recommend you guys do your
9:40own due diligence and just back test
9:43whatever strategy you guys are planning
9:45on using and finding the actual data
9:49behind it. Whether you guys are putting
9:50it into a spreadsheet, whatever you guys
9:53need to do to know for a fact that the
9:56math is going to end up over a long
9:59period of time, you are going to be
10:00green, right? Cuz if if we just say, "Oh
10:03yeah, I found this strategy online and I
10:06watched this YouTube video and this
10:09YouTube video in the thumbnail it says
10:10like 80% win rate and then you just like
10:12blindly follow it, but then you go back
10:14and you look at the stats and then you
10:16see, oh damn, when I follow this
10:18strategy, I end up losing more than I
10:21win and my win rate sucks and my
10:22risk-to-reward sucks." Then obviously
10:24you shouldn't be trading that strategy.
10:26So, I wanted to clarify all of that
10:29before we get into this because I think
10:31a lot of people will get one like
10:36[clears throat]
10:36just a little bit discouraged because
10:39they'll take a couple trades learning
10:41this new strategy that they learned
10:43online from a YouTube video and they
10:46just are blindly following it because
10:49they see this person is making x amount
10:51of dollars or is like doing great for
10:53themselves and then they're just like,
10:55"Oh yeah, this should work for me. But
10:57if it doesn't work for you, then you
10:58need to find a strategy that actually
11:00does work for you. Um, so again, in this
11:03video, I'm going to be going over my
11:06strategy, which works for me, but it
11:08might not work for you. I mean, granted,
11:10I have the data backing that my strategy
11:13works for me. And if you guys follow it
11:14to a tea, which I do for the most part,
11:18you guys should be able to get similar
11:20results. But you guys should do your own
11:23due diligence and back test this. and
11:25actually like upload all of that
11:27information to some sort of tracker,
11:29some sort of spreadsheet for you guys to
11:31be able to see the data yourself. And
11:33then that leads me into the last thing
11:35that I want to go over before we
11:36actually start talking about the
11:37strategy is a lot of people deal with
11:39psychological issues. This video isn't
11:41about psychology, but this is something
11:43that I will say about trading
11:45psychology. A lot of people have fear in
11:48the markets and then a lot of people
11:50people will lack confidence in the
11:51markets. The only way to remove that
11:54fear and the only way to actually gain
11:56confidence in the markets, it's not by
11:59watching a YouTube video like this, it's
12:01by actually practicing and getting those
12:03shots or getting those repetitions up
12:05yourself. So, obviously, I have the
12:08confidence to take the trades that I do.
12:11Not only because I have the data backing
12:13it, but also because I've been doing
12:16this for a long time and I've taken
12:18these trades so many times to the point
12:20where I know over a long period of time
12:22I'm going to make money in the market.
12:24But if you guys just watch a YouTube
12:27video and say, "Okay, TJR told me this
12:30is a fact, but you guys haven't gotten
12:32any reps in." And then you guys
12:33immediately start risking your own
12:35money. You guys are probably going to be
12:37pretty scared about risking your own
12:39money. Why? because you guys haven't
12:42felt you guys haven't felt that before.
12:43You guys haven't actually put risk on
12:45the table using a strategy before. So
12:47that's something that you guys need to
12:48break in. And then the last thing that I
12:51want to tell you guys is again when it
12:53comes to fear in the markets, you guys
12:55will have no fear in the markets when
12:57you guys have data backing your
12:59strategy. So again, that's why I'm able
13:01to take the trades that I do without any
13:03fear. And that's why I'm also able to
13:05take losses that I do because I know,
13:08hey, when I take a loss, awesome. that's
13:10just a drop in my probability bucket of
13:12my win rate or that's just going to be a
13:14drop in my probability bucket of my
13:16risk-to-reward and I know that over a
13:19longer period of time like if we look
13:22back at this month of March right I had
13:25an in insane first trading week a great
13:29second trading week not the best third
13:32trading week and then not the best
13:33fourth trading week but I still ended up
13:35green on the month so when we look at
13:38this what a lot of People mis misconcept
13:43what trading is like they think trading
13:44is just like green day green day green
13:46day green day but what trading actually
13:48is is like green week green week red
13:51week red week still green on the month
13:53and then let me look at or we can even
13:57just look at this month the month of May
13:58so this month the month of May right
14:01this was like a very back and forth back
14:03and forth month where I made money the
14:07first week I lost 10k the second week
14:09and then I lost 70k the the third week
14:12and then I made 84k the fourth week. But
14:16what a lot of people will do is they'll
14:18focus on the day-to-day outcomes or
14:20they'll just say like, "Oh, I've had two
14:22losing weeks in a row. This strategy
14:25doesn't work. I need to stop everything
14:27and I need to go look at another
14:28strategy." But what will help you stay
14:31away from doing something like that is
14:33again when you have the data backing
14:36that hey these two losing weeks should
14:38mean nothing to you because we know that
14:41even if I lose two weeks in a row does
14:43that mean I I need to change anything?
14:45No. It's just a drop in our probability
14:47bucket of hey I know I'm going to lose
14:50trades using this strategy. There's no
14:52strategy that gives me a 100% win rate.
14:54And I know that when I do lose I'm
14:56losing less than what I make when I win
14:58trades. And I know that when I lose, I
15:00know that over time I'm going to win
15:02more than I that and I know over time
15:05I'm going to win more than when I lose.
15:07So if I have two losing weeks, I'm not
15:10sweating it. I'm not scared about it
15:12whatsoever because I know that my
15:15strategy is giving me this probability
15:18in the market. So again, a lot of people
15:20get super super caught up or like
15:24they're so focused on the individual
15:25outcomes, they'll lose one trade and
15:27they'll just be like, "Oh, that's it.
15:28The strategy doesn't work. I quit." And
15:31it's like, "No, that's not the case."
15:33And some people will have a losing week
15:35and just be like, "I must be doing
15:36something wrong." And you know, I could
15:39show you guys a freaking million losing
15:42weeks. I had a losing week here, losing
15:43week here, but I still ended the month
15:45very green. I had a losing week here,
15:47losing week here, still ended the month
15:49green.
15:52I had a losing week here, still ended
15:54the month green, losing week, losing
15:56week, and then boom, back-to-back
15:57winning weeks, and I still ended the
15:58month green. So, what you guys need to
16:01do is you guys need to zoom out on the
16:05long timeline of what your trading
16:07journey is. And you guys need to
16:08understand that losing weeks are just a
16:10part of trading. Just like point blank
16:13period, they are a part of trading. And
16:14once you guys can accept that and you
16:16guys can accept just that trading is a
16:18game of probabilities, your goal is to
16:21win more than you lose. And when you do
16:23win, the goal is for that dollar amount
16:26to be more than the dollar amount than
16:28when you lose. And if you get both of
16:29those things correct, you got a strategy
16:31that works for you and you are going to
16:33be able to consistently make money from
16:34the markets over a long period of time.
16:36So with that being said, we are going to
16:39jump into this strategy video. So, I'm
16:43going to write down essentially what I'm
16:46looking for within my strategy before
16:49showing it on the charts. So, step
16:52number one, I'm looking for draws and
16:54liquidity.
16:58So, draws and liquidity are essentially
17:00going to be session highs, session lows,
17:021 hour highs, 1 hour lows, 4 hour highs,
17:054 hour lows. So, we have session highs
17:10or we'll just do sesh
17:131 hour, 4 hour,
17:16highs and lows. Okay, so I need an area
17:20that price is going to want to draw
17:22towards in order for that to be my
17:23target. And I also need draws and
17:25liquidity for me to be able to enter
17:27into a trade. So I'm looking for draws
17:30on liquidity for price to take out a
17:32draw in liquidity. And then from there,
17:34I'm looking for price to manipulate and
17:37then reverse off of that. So we're
17:38looking to manipulate these draws on
17:40liquidity and then reverse off of it. So
17:42draws and liquidity are just high time
17:44frame highs and lows. What lies above
17:46high time frame highs and lows? Resting
17:48orders. So when we have highs and lows
17:50in the market, let's just imagine
17:52there's just a bunch of buy orders
17:55sitting above highs and a bunch of sell
17:57orders sitting below lows. Now
18:00occasionally what the market will do
18:02when it wants to reverse, which is
18:04typically the trades that I'm trying to
18:05catch, is it will push above a high and
18:08it will activate all of these buy
18:10orders. Why? Because there's people
18:12during this move down that were selling
18:15or shorting the market and their stop
18:16loss is above this high. So when price
18:18pushes above this high, what happens?
18:20They get stopped out and they get forced
18:21to buy back that stock or whatever the
18:24asset is for a higher price, they lose
18:27that trade. So that's some people
18:29buying. And then also, if we're in an
18:31uptrend and we push past this high, what
18:33also is that causing people to do? It's
18:35causing people to buy because they say,
18:37"Hey, we're in an uptrend. We just
18:38pushed past a high, so we're going to
18:40continue higher. So, they're entering
18:42into the market right here. Now, what
18:44does that give the market the
18:46opportunity to do? Emphasis on the word
18:48opportunity because price doesn't always
18:52just push above a high and then
18:53instantly reverse. But it does give the
18:56market the opportunity because there's a
18:58massive amount of buy orders getting
18:59filled right here. It gives the market
19:02the opportunity to fill a massive amount
19:04of sell orders. Why? Because if we think
19:07back to just basic e economics, if I
19:10want to buy a stock, there has to be
19:12somebody that is willing to sell it to
19:14me for that same exact price. So when
19:16the market is moving, how can it reverse
19:19price? It will have to push price above
19:21a high to enter a whole bunch of people
19:23into buy positions so that it can fill
19:25their massive amounts of sell orders to
19:27then reverse the market. Okay, so same
19:29thing to the downside. Okay, when we
19:32push underneath a low, what is happening
19:34during this point in time? There are
19:36people who were buying on this move up
19:38who have their stop losses underneath
19:40this low. So, when price pushes
19:41underneath this low, all the people that
19:44were pressing buy throughout this move
19:46up are getting stopped out. Now, also,
19:48what are people doing when we push
19:50underneath this low? People are shorting
19:51the market. People are pressing sell.
19:54So, when we push underneath this low,
19:55what does that give the market the
19:57opportunity to do? It gives the market
19:59the opportunity to fill a massive amount
20:01of buy orders to then push price higher.
20:04Okay, so that's why we want draws on
20:06liquidity because we know that that
20:08gives the market the opportunity to fill
20:10orders. That is step number one. Now,
20:12step number two, what am I looking for?
20:14I'm looking for potential for orders get
20:17to get filled, which is what? Sitting
20:20above highs and lows in the market. I'm
20:22looking for a high or a low to get push
20:23above or below in order to potentially
20:26fill orders. Then what am I looking for?
20:29I'm looking for confirmation that those
20:31orders were filled through a change in
20:34trend. So what does that typically look
20:36like? I'm looking for a fiveminut break
20:39of structure or a 5minute inverse fair
20:42value gap. And I'll show you guys
20:43examples of what that looks like on the
20:45chart if you guys aren't familiar with
20:46those two confluences. So again, if we
20:49think think to the two steps right now,
20:52we have a high and we have a low in the
20:54market. Let's say the market boom pushes
20:56above a high. What does that give the
20:58market the opportunity to do? Fill
21:01orders. Fill their sell orders to push
21:03price to the downside. So awesome. We
21:06have the opportunity to do that with
21:08step number one. Then I'm looking for
21:09confirmation that price actually is
21:12going to do that. So, I'm going to be
21:13looking for a break of structure to the
21:16downside on the five minute time frame
21:18to show confirmation that hey, we had
21:20the opportunity to fill orders to push
21:22price lower. And now we're actually
21:25seeing a change in trend to the
21:27downside. Okay. Same thing with lows.
21:30So, when we pu when price pushes
21:32underneath a low in the market, what
21:34does that give the market the
21:35opportunity to do? Fill buy orders. How
21:38do I know that buy orders have been
21:40filled? by seeing a change in trend to
21:42the upside. So, I'm looking for either a
21:44breakup structure or an inverse fair for
21:46value gap to the upside.
21:50From there, what am I looking for? Is
21:52that just going to be boom, green bean,
21:55enter the market? No. I'm looking for
21:57actual confirmation that this trend is
21:59going to continue. Okay. So step number
22:02three is going to be a five-minute
22:04continuation confluence which is either
22:07going to be equilibrium or a fair value
22:09gap getting filled. Okay. So if we go
22:11back to our drawing one more time we
22:13have opportunity to fill orders above
22:16here. Price comes up and then it does
22:18what? It takes advantage of that
22:19opportunity and says hey we actually
22:21want to go lower. So awesome we get step
22:23one. Step two we push above a draw on
22:25liquidity. Then we got to break the
22:27structure to the downside. Then what am
22:29I looking for? I'm looking for
22:31continuation of this trend. So, I'm
22:33going to mark out fair value gaps or I'm
22:36going to mark out equilibrium
22:39on the five-minute chart to see price
22:41push into that continuation confluence
22:44and then continue the trend lower
22:46because that is going to s signal three
22:49different things to me. One, price had
22:52the opportunity to reverse. That's step
22:54number one. Step number two, price
22:56actually took that opportunity and is
22:58changing the trend on the low time
23:00frame. Then step number three, price is
23:03actually continuing that trend on the
23:05low time frame. And that is going to
23:07give me a high conviction to be able to
23:09place that trade. So that's step one.
23:13Step two, step three. The last step is
23:15actually when we are within these
23:17confluences to help us get a better
23:19entry is we are going to scale down to
23:21the one minute time frame and we're
23:23going to look for a break of structure
23:25to the downside or an inverse for value
23:27gap to show confirmation that hey we're
23:29actually going to continue continue down
23:31and I'll just show you guys examples of
23:33step number four on the charts because
23:35it'll make more sense when I'm
23:38explaining it on the charts than just
23:40trying to put it on the drawings. And
23:42you guys are probably sick of the
23:43drawings by now. So, let's go on the
23:45charts. So, today we actually didn't get
23:48an opportunity. That's why you guys can
23:51see today
23:53I didn't make any money. I didn't place
23:55any trades.
23:58But if we go to previous days price
24:02action, well, today's Monday, so we'll
24:04have to go
24:07over to Friday's price action.
24:11We'll see if we got anything here.
24:22Yeah. So, this this was perfect.
24:25Friday's price action was perfect.
24:28So,
24:30where we at?
24:32So, this this was literally like step by
24:35step. Absolutely perfect. So, what do we
24:37see price do off rip? Okay, we see
24:41market open. Let me just move this to
24:43like right here.
24:46Okay, so market opens. What do we what
24:48do we do? Boom. We rip to the upside.
24:52Step one, manipulation, right? We push
24:54above London session highs on the S&P
24:57500. We push above London session highs.
24:59Okay, so on both the indexes, we push
25:02above session highs. That's step number
25:04one. What does price have the
25:05opportunity to do? Fill sell orders. So
25:08now we're looking for confirmation that
25:09those sell orders were actually filled.
25:11So we see move up. That's step number
25:13one. We got the manipulation. Step
25:15number two, what are we looking for?
25:17We're either looking for a break of
25:18structure to the downside. Whoa. We're
25:21either looking for a break of structure
25:23to the downside or an inverse fair value
25:25gap to the downside.
25:28What do we see right here? What does
25:30price do on this fivem minute gap?
25:32Again, we're looking on the fivem
25:33minute. We inverse this bullish gap to
25:36the downside. Awesome. What do we do on
25:40NASDAQ? We inverse this five-minute gap
25:44to the downside. Beautiful. So, we get
25:47manipulation. Step number one. We get
25:50reversal. Step number two. Now, what are
25:52we looking for? We're looking for some
25:54form of a continuation of this trend.
25:58So, I'm not just going to enter
26:02right here when I see the inverse value
26:04gap. No, I want to see some form of a
26:08retrace. And in this case, we see a
26:105minute retrace. So, I want to see a
26:115minute retrace. Right? So, how can we
26:14how can we tell when we're getting a
26:155minute retrace? We scale down to the
26:17one minute time frame. On the one minute
26:20time frame, what I like to do is I like
26:23to classify five minute retraces as a
26:25break of structure to the upside on the
26:27one minute because if you guys remember
26:29step number four, we need a break of
26:31structure or an inverse for value gap
26:34back in this case down towards the
26:36direction that we want to be that we
26:38want to favor. So, in order for that to
26:40happen, we in order for us to be looking
26:43for a break of structure down, we need
26:45to look for a break of structure up
26:47because why would we be looking for a
26:50break of structure down if we're already
26:51in a downtrend, a breaking structure to
26:53the downside while we're already in a
26:55downtrend? That just doesn't it that
26:57that's like not even a real thing
26:58because we're not actually breaking
26:59structure. We would just be continuing
27:01the trend. So, what we want to look for
27:04is a break of structure to the upside.
27:06Where do we get that break of structure
27:08to the upside on the one minute? We get
27:10it right here. Okay? So, we break one
27:12minute structure to the upside. What's a
27:16break of structure? A break of structure
27:17is when we are in a current trend. So,
27:20let's say we're in an uptrend
27:22and we close underneath the most recent
27:25low. That's a break of structure to the
27:27downside. If we're looking for a break
27:28of structure to the upside, we are in a
27:31current downtrend and we want to see a
27:34candlestick closure
27:36above the most recent high. So, a break
27:39of structure to the upside is a
27:41candlestick closure above the most
27:43recent high that was made within the
27:44market. And then a break of structure to
27:46the downside is when we see a candle
27:49closure underneath the most recent low.
27:54And before we get into the actual entry,
27:56let me explain inverse for value gaps
27:58really quick and why that's actually
28:00important. So breakup structure is
28:02pretty simple, right? Breakup structure
28:05is just how do trends move? Trends move
28:09in uptrends, higher highs and higher
28:10lows. When does that trend or structure
28:13get broken? When we end up closing
28:15underneath one of the lows because then
28:18that breaks the trend. That breaks the
28:20market structure that we're in. And then
28:21that puts us in a downtrend.
28:24In a downtrend, we're moving from higher
28:27or sorry, from lower highs to lower low.
28:30So, we have a high, then we have a low,
28:32then we have a lower high, then we have
28:33a lower low. What would be a break of
28:36this structure? If we push up and close
28:39above this high, why is that a break of
28:41structure? Because we just broke the
28:42current trend that we're in. So, when we
28:44come down, we're going to end up pushing
28:47higher. Why? Because we broke out of
28:48this downtrend that we're in. Simple
28:50break of structure. An inverse fair
28:53value gap is I have plenty video plenty
28:56of videos on fair value gaps if you guys
28:58want to look at them on my channel but
29:00so I don't really want to like get super
29:02super deep into this but it's
29:04essentially a fair value gap that gets
29:06disrespected. So in this case we see
29:09this is the lowest fair value gap that
29:11price could push to to continue this
29:13bullish trend.
29:15What does price do to it? We close
29:17underneath it. So ha whoa. So had this
29:21trend wanted to maintain its bullish
29:24structure, it should have just pushed
29:26into this and then pushed higher. But
29:29did it do that? No. It closed underneath
29:31it, disrespecting the the current order
29:35flow and the current market structure
29:39of price action, right? Because if it
29:41wanted to push higher, this is a bullish
29:44confluence, right?
29:46If price wanted to push higher, it would
29:48have filled this gap and it would have
29:50pushed price higher, but it didn't. It
29:53closed underneath the gap, pretty much
29:54signaling to us that, hey, we want price
29:57to go lower. So, awesome, we have an
30:00inverse gap to the downside. If we go
30:02over our strategy one more time, we got
30:05manipulation to the upside, potential
30:07for sell orders to get filled. Boom.
30:09Whole bunch of sell orders. How do we
30:10know the sell orders were filled?
30:12because we disrespected bullish market
30:14structure with this inverse fair value
30:17gap. Now what are we looking for? We are
30:19looking for continuation of this 5m
30:23minute downtrend that we just got
30:24ourselves into. So, in order for us to
30:27see a continuation of the 5-minute
30:29downtrend, we need to see a 5-minut
30:31retrace, meaning a one minute break of
30:34structure to the upside and then for the
30:36one minute then for the 1 minute to
30:38break back down, confirming
30:42that we are going to go lower. So, in
30:44this case, we can see on the S&P 500, we
30:48get manipulation
30:50inverse of the fair value gap. Awesome.
30:52A lot of people will probably enter
30:54here, but that's going to cause you guys
30:55to get a horrible entry and probably get
30:58you guys scared when we end up making
30:59this retrace. That's not what we want.
31:01We want to get optimal entries. Okay.
31:04So, what do we see? We see that happen.
31:08We say, "Awesome. Now, I want to wait
31:09for a five-minute retrace. How can I see
31:11a five-minute retrace? By a one minute
31:13break of structure to the upside." Okay,
31:15we see the one minute break to the
31:17upside right here. Then we say, boom, 5m
31:21minute retrace complete. What am I now
31:23looking for? Step number four is a break
31:27of structure back down to the downside
31:31to confirm that this 5minut trend is
31:35going to continue. So again,
31:37manipulation reversal, then I'm looking
31:40for continuation of the trend. So we see
31:44price broke structure to the upside and
31:46then boom, price breaks structure to the
31:47downside. That is where I would have
31:49entered short. And I'm pretty sure I
31:51took this exact same trade. I took this
31:52on the S&P 500. And then where do we
31:55target? We target our other draws on
31:58liquidity. So again, if you guys
31:59remember on step number one, we're
32:02looking at draws on liquidity. Okay,
32:04this is a pretty bad risk-to-reward
32:05ratio, but it's still a good example of
32:07the trade, right? So because we had a
32:10massive candlestick closure to the
32:11downside on this uh breaker structure to
32:13the downside. But still this shows our
32:15strategy per winning and executing
32:18perfectly. Um but what what was I saying
32:22on step number one? We understood that
32:26hey, not only does price have the
32:29opportunity to manipulate price and fill
32:31orders to the upside, but also price is
32:34going to draw towards these session lows
32:37in these hourly highs and lows. once it
32:40fills those orders because if we filled
32:44sell orders up here,
32:47we are also going to be looking for a
32:50spot to be able to get rid of these sell
32:52orders or be able to make a profit off
32:54of these sell orders. So, if the market
32:57filled sell orders up here, it needs to
33:00push price down to an area where it can
33:03liquidate and where it can get rid of
33:06those sell orders. So, where is that
33:07going to be a good spot? the same exact
33:10spot that the same exact the same exact
33:13highs and lows that we were looking for
33:15an entry. That's going to be our exits.
33:17So, we have a session low right here. We
33:19have a session low right here. We
33:21probably had some hourly lows within
33:22here. Okay. So when we're looking for
33:26entries off of these manipulations and
33:29then we're also looking for exits off of
33:32these draws and liquidity as draws and
33:34liquidities as well because just like
33:37how we were able to fill our massive
33:39amounts of sell orders up here, we also
33:41need to push price down to an area where
33:44it can empty off and it can take profit
33:46off of those sell orders. So, it needs
33:48to push price towards a draw in
33:50liquidity where down here, what are
33:52people going to be doing? They're going
33:54to be selling, right? So, people are
33:57going to be pressing the sell button
33:58when we push underneath these session
34:00lows.
34:02So, if we're in sell orders up here and
34:05we're trying to buy back these sell
34:07orders for a lower price, which is how
34:11you make money on a short,
34:14where is price going to want to push?
34:16it's going to want to push to where a
34:18whole bunch of sell orders are. Why?
34:20Because if if the market entered into a
34:22short up here, it's going to want to buy
34:25back those orders for a lower price. And
34:26if it filled a massive amount of orders
34:28up here, where's the next spot that
34:30price has the opportunity to be able to
34:33buy back a bunch of orders when a bunch
34:37of people are looking for sells? It's
34:39going to be underneath these lows. So,
34:41our exit and our entries are based off
34:44of the same exact thing. And that's why
34:46we need to set take profits based off of
34:49these draws in liquidity. Okay, so
34:52that
34:55is a good example. I'll show you guys on
34:57the NASDAQ really quickly. Same exact
35:00thing happened. We got manipulation to
35:03the upside. We inverse this 5minute gap.
35:06We go down to the one minute time frame.
35:09Let's look. Okay. Do we get an actual
35:11solid breaker structure to the upside
35:13right here? Yes, we do. Awesome. Then
35:16when do we get the break of structure to
35:17the downside? Right here. We get a
35:19closure underneath the low. This is
35:21where we want to short. Awesome. We can
35:24put our stop above the second high and
35:26then we can target. Boom.
35:28Really any of these lows within here.
35:30Boom. This is a really good risk-reward
35:32ratio. This is a 1:3
35:341 to 3.4 risk-to-reward ratio. Boom. We
35:36have an hourly low right here. Boom. We
35:38have some lows right here. And then we
35:39also have London lows, Asia lows. All of
35:41these lows that we can look for partial
35:43profits throughout the way. Okay,
35:46super super simple. Again, if we think
35:50about our strategy, we're looking for a
35:52liquidity sweep, meaning a higher low
35:54that gets a high or a low that gets
35:57pushed above or below. Then we're
35:59looking for a 5m minute break of
36:01structure or an inverse fair value gap.
36:03Then we're looking for a five minute
36:06equilibrium or fair value gap getting
36:08filled. Or just I mean we can even make
36:11this even simpler. Instead of just
36:14saying, "Oh yeah, I want equilibrium or
36:15a fair value gap getting filled." We can
36:17just say we want a one minute break of
36:19structure to the upside or to the
36:20downside. So we can look for a one
36:22minute break of structure or an inverse
36:23fair for value gap to the upside or the
36:25downside. And then we just want to look
36:27for the same exact thing
36:29in the direction in the direction that
36:32we're looking to push price.
36:35Super simple. We're looking for a
36:37liquidity sweep, 5m minute break of
36:39structure. Then we're looking for a one
36:41minute break of structure to the upside
36:42and then one minute break of structure
36:44to the downside. Awesome. We're entering
36:45right there. And then we're using our
36:46other draws and liquidity as targets to
36:49be able to exit. Super super simple. Let
36:52me show you guys maybe one or two more
36:54examples of this.
37:25>> [sighs]
37:25>> All right, let's see. So,
37:29on this we didn't really we didn't
37:32really get too much. I mean, I actually
37:35I did take longs here on NASDAQ, so I
37:38can go over this, but I mean, it's
37:41decent. So, again, what are we looking
37:44for? We get market opens. We're looking
37:46for some form of form of a manipulation.
37:49Price comes down, manipulates these
37:51lows. Awesome. That's step number one.
37:55Okay, we get boom, push down. On ES, we
37:58don't take out these lows, but on
38:00NASDAQ, we do. So, awesome. As long as
38:02one of the indexes is doing it for us,
38:05that's all we need. Okay, so we get boom
38:08manipulation. Then, what are we looking
38:10for? We're looking for a change in order
38:12flow, either a breakup structure or an
38:14inverse for value gap where to the
38:16upside because we manipulated to the
38:18downside, right? We had a whole bunch of
38:21sell orders getting filled underneath
38:23here. So, what does that give the market
38:25the opportunity to do? Fill buy orders.
38:28Okay,
38:30so price pushes underneath a low. Then
38:33from there, what am I looking for? I'm
38:35either looking for a breaker structure
38:36to the upside or an inverse for value
38:39gap. In this case, we get the inverse
38:41for value gap first. Okay, we inverse
38:44this top gap to the upside. Step one and
38:47step two done. We got manipulation. Then
38:50we got confirmation that those orders
38:52were filled. Now, what do we need to
38:53see? We need to see a continuation.
38:57So, how do we see continuation? Well, we
38:59can just scale down to the 1 minute time
39:01frame. Look for a break of structure to
39:03the downside. then look for a break back
39:05up. So in this case, and also in this
39:08case, we have a fiveminute fair value
39:10gap that gets filled. Again, you guys
39:12can use either just the one minute break
39:14to the downside or you guys can actually
39:16look for these these confluences
39:18confluences to get filled. We do have
39:20this fiveminute gap right here that ends
39:21up getting filled. But
39:24right here, okay, we get one minute move
39:28down, move up, and then awesome. Where
39:29do we break structure to the downside?
39:31Boom. Right here we get a candlestick
39:33closure from there. My eyes light up.
39:36Why? Because we got manipulation.
39:39Boom. Reversal. Now I'm looking for this
39:42trend to continue. Okay. So price broke
39:45structure to the downside. Now what am I
39:47looking for? Price to break structure
39:49back to the upside or give us a fair
39:51value gap. Inverse fair for value gap,
39:53right? To confirm that price is going to
39:55move higher.
39:57So where do we get that? Well, there's a
39:59couple opportunities here. Is this a
40:01gap? This is a tiny tiny tiny little
40:03gap. So, we're going to want to mark
40:04this one out. It's like literally the
40:06tiniest bullish gap ever created. But
40:11boom. So, we do have that bullish gap
40:14right there, but we end up inversing
40:17this gap and breaking structure on the
40:18same exact candle, which is going to be
40:21this one right here. Okay. So, we get
40:24manipulation,
40:26reversal,
40:28continuation,
40:29and then boom.
40:32This right here, we get a break of
40:33structure to the upside. Awesome. I want
40:35to long that. I want my stops underneath
40:37the second low. And then what can we
40:38look for? We can look for our other
40:40draws on liquidity to the upside that
40:43price is probably going to want to take
40:44out. So, in this case, we had these
40:47highs that were all the way up here. Do
40:48I really want to sit and wait 10
40:51freaking years for these highs to get
40:52taken out? No, I don't. The the highs
40:55ended up getting taken out on the on the
40:57following trading day. But
40:59realistically, am I going to want to do
41:01that? No. So, I'll look for intermediate
41:02highs that can be taken out. We have
41:04these highs right here for an
41:06approximate 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio. We
41:08have highs right here, good
41:10risk-to-reward. We have highs right
41:12here. We have this big gap that we could
41:13get filled all the way through here.
41:15Regardless, price moves up and in our
41:19direction for another winning trade.
41:21Okay, we can look at the same exact
41:23thing on the S&P 500.
41:28I'll kind of I'll just super super skim
41:31through this. Okay, even though we
41:33didn't get the manipulation on ES,
41:35that's why I actually took the trade on
41:37NASDAQ. I guess can actually show you
41:40guys that I took this trade.
41:43We can see these were my buys on NASDAQ.
41:46So, let's see what day was this? This
41:49was on the 28th. So, I entered buys on
41:52NASDAQ. I can't reme remember how much I
41:55made on this day, but as we can see,
41:57oops, I'm covering it up. But right
41:59here, this was on the 28th of May. Okay.
42:02So, I entered buys on NASDAQ. Boom. We
42:05bought NASDAQ. And as you can see, we
42:07made money on these buy orders on
42:10NASDAQ. And actually, I can even show
42:12you guys on the freaking chart that I
42:14took that trade.
42:20Okay, so as you guys can see, I took the
42:23exact trade that I just showed you guys.
42:26I took the exact same trade that I
42:28showed you guys, and I took profit here,
42:30took profit here, and took profit all
42:32the way up here. Okay, so again, I'm
42:36telling you guys this strategy because
42:37it's actually what I [ __ ] use. And
42:40again, I have the data [ __ ] backing
42:42it. It's for a reason. Okay, so again, I
42:45took the same exact trade on NASDAQ and
42:47exited like all throughout here and then
42:50ended up finally exiting for my full
42:51take profit all the way up here and made
42:53money on the day. Um ES it was similar
42:56situation. So even though ES didn't get
42:58the manipulation, NASDAQ did. Um but ES
43:02ends up breaking five-minute structure
43:04to the upside right here. ES comes down,
43:06fills this gap, and then ends up pushing
43:08higher.
43:10Simple. All right,
43:13we'll do one more example.
43:16Now, again, I just went back to the past
43:19two trading days. It worked. It worked
43:21perfectly the past the past two trading
43:23days, okay? And again, when you guys are
43:26watching this, you guys are like
43:27probably like, "Holy [ __ ] this is the
43:28best strategy in the world. I'm going to
43:30have a 100% win rate." Understand that
43:32that is not the case, okay? There are
43:35losing days that are involved with this.
43:37Sometimes we lose, okay? Sometimes we
43:40lose. So, even though the last two days
43:42that we went over were winning days, I
43:44would honestly like to find a losing day
43:46so that I can show you that losing is a
43:48part of this. Um, let's see. So, that
43:52was Thursday. Let's go and see
43:55Wednesday.
44:14Okay.
44:17Yeah, Wednesday worked too.
44:20So, I mean, I'm trying to find an
44:22example where this doesn't end up
44:24happening, but in this case, I mean,
44:26this is a good example to go over. In
44:28this case, we get the manipulation
44:29during pre-market, right? So, we see
44:32boom, massive legs up, manipulating
44:34these highs during pre-market and then
44:36we see the reversal start happening
44:38during pre-market. Do we want to be
44:40entering during pre-market? The answer
44:42is always going to be no. I want to wait
44:44until price actually until market
44:46actually opens and like gives us some
44:49real volume. Okay, so we get
44:51manipulation, we get the reversal. So
44:55really all I'm going to be looking for
44:57is going to be our continuation
44:58confluence. Okay.
45:01On NASDAQ, if we go in here again, what
45:04are we looking for? We're looking for a
45:05one minute breakup structure or an
45:06inverse for value gap to the upside. I
45:09mean, this should be this should be
45:11clockwork to you guys at this point.
45:13When do we get the breakup structure to
45:14the upside? We get it right here. Now,
45:16what are we waiting for? We're waiting
45:17for a breaker structure to the downside.
45:19Okay. When do we get that? Boom. Right
45:21here. This is where we want to short.
45:26Boom. Stops above this high.
45:30Come on, bro. There you go. Stops above
45:33this high. And then you guys can target
45:36these lows. I think I took this trade as
45:38well.
45:43So, it's proof in the freaking pudding.
45:45I took the same exact trade that I
45:47showed you guys, and I exited at the
45:49same exact spot. We can see I entered
45:51right here and then boom, exited right
45:53here. So again, it's clear that I'm
45:56using this strategy and we just went
45:57over three days back to back to back
45:59where this has where this played out in
46:02our favor. Again, we get boom
46:05manipulation, we get reversal. What are
46:07we looking for? We're looking for the
46:08gap to get filled and then boom, we end
46:10up getting the breakup structure to the
46:11downside right here. Awesome. That's
46:13where we're looking to enter. And then
46:14we're looking to exit underneath hourly
46:17draws on liquidity, 4hour draws on
46:19liquidity, all of that. This is
46:20obviously a significant low. So, this is
46:23where I'm going to want to take some
46:24profit at. I did have extended
46:26takeprofits at this daily low and then
46:28at these lows down here, but I took my
46:30first profit and then I moved my stop
46:32loss to break even. Obviously, the rest
46:34got stopped out at break even, but we
46:37still won. We still won and we still
46:39made money on the day. So, I mean,
46:44I'll let's let's keep trying to find
46:45like a losing day so I can like convince
46:48you guys that this [ __ ] isn't just like
46:50a 100% hit rate. Um, I'm lit I'm
46:54literally just going back over the days
46:57um just unfortunately the past three
46:59days. Or maybe I show you guys today's
47:01price action on how there wasn't a
47:03trade. We Well, let's see if Tuesday was
47:06a losing day. Um,
47:09[sighs]
47:11let's see if Tuesday was a losing day.
47:17I'm like trying to convince you guys.
47:19God [ __ ] damn it. It was a winning
47:21day. All right. The strategy is good. I
47:23guess the strategy is good. Um,
47:28yes. Oh my god. It's too good. The
47:32strategy is good. The strategy um it
47:34clearly works. What? like we'll we'll
47:37skim through this, [laughter] but
47:39[gasps]
47:40it works. Um, okay, market open. What do
47:43we do? We manipulate these hourly lows.
47:46Then what? We get this 5m minute inverse
47:48for value gap to the upside. Then what?
47:49We get the five minute for value gap
47:51fill. And then there's an there's the
47:54entry.
47:56Okay, within here target these draws and
47:58liquidity, you would have won. You would
47:59have won on that day as well. So,
48:02[sighs]
48:06we need to find a losing day. Let me
48:08just show you guys today's price action
48:10because I didn't take a trade today and
48:11our strategy didn't present itself. So,
48:13I can like like maybe just make myself
48:16seem worse. Um,
48:19okay.
48:21Today's price action. Today's price
48:23action. Bad bad bad. Okay. Why is it bad
48:27bad bad? So, let's look at this. We have
48:31boom. This is market open.
48:34This is market open. Okay.
48:37We get market open. Do we get any sort
48:41of manipulation? Yes. Awesome. We get
48:43manipulation to the downside. Boom.
48:44Price comes down, manipulates this, and
48:46awesome. We get a break of structure to
48:48the upside on the fiveminut time frame
48:50right here. Right on NASDAQ. On the S&P
48:53500 though, do we get a break of
48:55structure to the upside? No. Uh uh.
49:00No, we don't get a break of structure to
49:01the upside. This is something. Thank
49:04you. Perfect. We found a a bad day to
49:07trade so I can remember this. Okay.
49:11I do not like and I would highly
49:13recommend you guys don't take trades
49:15when the two indexes are not aligned. So
49:19what does that mean? I forgot. I forgot
49:22about this. Okay. When the two indexes
49:25are not aligned like if ES is bullish on
49:29the fivem minute [ __ ] [ __ ]
49:35bulls bulls balls okay if ES is bullish
49:39and NASDAQ is bearish
49:43bearish be am I high bearish bearish
49:49I don't want to take the trade okay now
49:53why is that because if both the indexes
49:55are telling us two different things,
49:56then the market is probably indecisive.
49:59Okay, so if we look at today, right, ES
50:02is maintaining bearish order flow,
50:04right? We get a big move down, but do we
50:05get a break structure to the upside on
50:07the 5minute? No. On NASDAQ, we get a big
50:10move down and then we do get a breakup
50:11structure to the upside on the 5minute.
50:14So, what index is right? If ES is
50:16bearish but NASDAQ is bullish, how do we
50:18decide which one to trade? Well, that's
50:20the awesome thing. Remember what I was
50:22telling you guys? What I was telling you
50:23guys at the start of this video?
50:26Jeez. What I was telling you guys at the
50:28start of this video is that less trades
50:31are better. So, even though we just went
50:33over three or like four trading days
50:36where this ended up working out and you
50:37guys are like, "Oh my gosh, this is the
50:39best strategy ever."
50:41Sometimes there's going to be days where
50:43we don't want to trade. And today is a
50:45perfect example of that where ES was
50:47bearish and NASDAQ was bullish on the
50:49fiveminut time frame. Meaning the market
50:51is indecisive. The market does not know
50:54where it wants to go. And until these
50:57two indexes are correlated, meaning both
51:01ES is in either a 5minute uptrend and
51:04NASDAQ is in a 5minute uptrend or NASDAQ
51:07is in a 5minute downtrend and ES is in a
51:10fiveminute downtrend, I don't want to
51:11take a trade because if ES is telling us
51:14one thing and NASDAQ is telling us
51:16another thing and NASDAQ is saying,
51:18"Hey, we want to go down." But the S&P
51:19500 is saying, "Hey, we want to go up."
51:22Cue the LAR song. We could go up. Right?
51:24So if if both of the indexes are telling
51:27us two different things then why should
51:31we take a trade if ES is saying hey we
51:33want to go higher and NASDAQ is say
51:34saying hey we want to go lower we should
51:36not be taking a trade under these market
51:39circumstances until both of them can be
51:41aligned okay so in this case ES was it
51:45bullish no we didn't get a fiveminute
51:47break structure to the upside on NASDAQ
51:49were we bullish yes so NASDAQ is bullish
51:51but ES is bearish okay so I don't want
51:54anything to do with this [ __ ] today.
51:57Why? Because we we don't get we don't
52:00get we we
52:03Okay, neither of the indexes are
52:05aligned. So, let's just say like
52:07awesome. If the indexes weren't aligned
52:09at the start at the start of the
52:11session, that's fine. They can still get
52:12aligned later in the session. So, let's
52:14look for it. Awesome. NASDAQ gets a
52:16break structure to the downside at 950.
52:18Beautiful. Okay. At 950. Awesome. NASDAQ
52:22breaks pressure to the downside and ES
52:24is still in its downtrend. Beautiful. We
52:27can potentially look for a trade here,
52:28right? Wrong. NASDAQ dumps all the way
52:32down and doesn't give us the opportunity
52:34to be able to enter into any sort of
52:38continuation trade, right? It just moves
52:40all the way down. We don't get any sort
52:42of a fiveminute retrace. We don't get
52:43any sort of a one minute break of
52:45structure to the upside. But then you're
52:47probably saying, "Well, TJR, we broke
52:49one minute structure to the upside right
52:51here at 10:07." Okay, you're right. I'll
52:55I'll let you in. Okay, we got a one
52:56minute break of structure to the upside
52:58at 10:07. And awesome. We got draws and
53:00liquidity to the downside. We got boom,
53:03we got all of these lows stacked up.
53:04Perfect, right? Looks like great draws
53:06and liquidity. But what do we need? We
53:08need the 1 minute to break structure
53:09back down to the downside. Do we see
53:12that happen? No. This is the low that
53:13we're looking at. Nope. This is the low
53:15that we're looking at. Nope. This is the
53:16low that we're looking at. Nope. This is
53:18the low that we're looking at. And then
53:20before you freaking know it,
53:22what has NASDAQ done? It has broken five
53:25minute structure back to the upside. And
53:27at this point in time, it's 10:20. By
53:3010:30, I'm done for the freaking day. If
53:33neither of the indexes are aligned and
53:35it's 10:20 on the freaking timer on the
53:38Eastern Eastern time zone, call it a
53:41freaking day because we're going to have
53:42a whole bunch of [ __ ] going on. And
53:44as you can see following that, what did
53:46we have? A whole bunch of [ __ ]
53:48right? Nobody wants to be trading this
53:50price action. This is ugly, ugly, ugly,
53:52ugly on the on the S&P 500. Does anybody
53:55want to be trading this? No. This looks
53:57like piano keys across our freaking
53:59across our freaking board. Okay? Nobody
54:01wants to be trading this. This is not
54:03optimal price action whatsoever. So, we
54:07just call it a day. All right. That was
54:10that's good that we went over today
54:12because if the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ on
54:16the five minute are not aligned, I do
54:19not want to be taking a trade. Okay? If
54:21the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ are not
54:24aligned, I do not want to be taking a
54:27trade. Okay? So on the 5m minute, even
54:29though NASDAQ broke structure to the
54:31upside, ES did not. So I'm not looking
54:34for longs until ES can actually break
54:36structure to the upside. And it doesn't
54:39end up doing that all the way until like
54:41right here. And I mean technically, when
54:45was this? This was 11:05. I mean, yeah,
54:48technically at 11:05,
54:51boom, we were already in a bullish trend
54:53on the 5m minute on NASDAQ because we
54:55broke structure to the upside. Sure. At
54:5711:05, if you're able to find a freaking
55:00entry, awesome. Go for it. We get a
55:04freaking one minute break of structure
55:05to the downside right here. And then we
55:06end up breaking to the upside. Boom.
55:09That's your freaking entry. Your stops
55:11under are underneath here. And then you
55:12end up targeting whatever all of these
55:14highs that are throughout here. Boom.
55:16High right here. High right here. High
55:17right here. High right here. And it ends
55:18up working out in your favor.
55:21But do you really want to be sitting on
55:23the chart for that freaking long?
55:24Personally, I do not. We can see when
55:28was this? This is 11:05. This is when we
55:30get the break to the upside. Awesome. We
55:32inverse this gap to the downside and
55:34then boom, we get the break structure to
55:35the upside. So yeah, this would this
55:37would technically be when you would want
55:39to enter using our strategy and sure
55:44we can target these highs for like a 1
55:46to1 risk-toreward ratio. Sure, it played
55:49sure it played out in our favor. But me
55:52personally, I'm not willing to sit
55:53through all of this chop and all of this
55:55BS
55:57to to take this trade at 1120. And and
56:00more often than not, you're just again,
56:04the less trades, the better. Because if
56:06we think back to what our strategy does,
56:08our strategy helps us, its steps to help
56:11us not take bad trades. Our strategy is
56:15less about what trade to take and more
56:18about what trades it stops us from
56:20taking. Holy [ __ ] bar. Holy bars. So,
56:25if you guys made it this far in the
56:26video, drop a freaking subscribe for
56:29that absolute bar of a trading. Wow. I'm
56:32going to make a Tik Tok on that
56:33literally right now.
56:39>> Your strategy is Hold on. Hold on. Let
56:41me redo this. You guys are seeing this
56:43happen in real time.
56:46Your strategy is less Sorry. You guys
56:49are seeing this happen in real time.
56:51What What was it? Your strategy is less
56:53about telling Oh, yeah. Your strategy is
56:56less about telling you guys what trade
56:59to take and more about telling you guys
57:01what trades not to take.
57:06I don't really know what else I'm going
57:08to say in this Tik Tok to be completely
57:10honest. I just thought that was smart.
57:11Okay, I'll finish it later. But anyways,
57:13long story short, your strategy is pres
57:16preventing you guys because again within
57:18our strategy, there's a lot of steps
57:20that we need to get through. And I mean
57:23on this day, this is a perfect example,
57:25right? If our if we didn't have our
57:27strategy, we would have seen
57:29manipulation, awesome fiveminute
57:30breaking structure to the upside. If we
57:32just had those two steps, boom, we would
57:35have we would have gotten crushed. Okay?
57:37We would we would have gotten stopped
57:39out on this trade. Okay? So, our
57:42strategy has these steps built in to
57:44help give us
57:47probability in the market. Okay? Because
57:49without probability, trading is
57:52literally nothing. And you guys might as
57:53you you guys literally are better off
57:55hitting the casino. I mean, that it

58:08But if the strategy does present itself,
58:10you know that probability is on your
58:12side, so you might as well take that
58:13risk. So, that's going to wrap it up for
