  1. 0:00What I'm about to show you today feels
  2. 0:01like a literal cheat code [music] to
  3. 0:03trading. Like you have actually cracked
  4. 0:05the system. This works for smaller
  5. 0:07accounts. When you take a loss, it is
  6. 0:09usually minimal. And it ensures that you
  7. 0:11are always trading with the trend.
  8. 0:13[music] Gives you the highest possible
  9. 0:14upside with the smallest downside,
  10. 0:17smallest risk. And today, I'm going to
  11. 0:18break this down with you piece by piece,
  12. 0:20step by step. By the end of this video,
  13. 0:22you're going to have a simple,
  14. 0:23repeatable system [music] that you can
  15. 0:25use on any chart in any timeframe. Okay,
  16. 0:27now let's open up TradingView [music]
  17. 0:29and get right into it. So, this entire
  18. 0:31system is built on one [music] concept,
  19. 0:34trend lines. So, it is incredibly
  20. 0:35important that you understand how to
  21. 0:37utilize the trend lines. Maybe there's a
  22. 0:39way that you identify or interpret
  23. 0:40trends, but we need to make sure that we
  24. 0:42have the same system across the board so
  25. 0:44that you can continue to repeat this
  26. 0:46again and again. Now, if you already
  27. 0:47know what a trend line is, stay with me.
  28. 0:49I might have a different way of
  29. 0:50identifying them and tracking them than
  30. 0:52you're used to. But, if you don't know
  31. 0:53what a trend line is, let me give you
  32. 0:54some quick context while I find some on
  33. 0:56the chart. Now, when I'm looking for
  34. 0:57trends on the charts, I use something
  35. 0:59called a ray tool. Over here on the
  36. 1:01toolbox to the left, you'll see all of
  37. 1:02the trend line tools. This is going to
  38. 1:04be your bread and butter, the ray tool.
  39. 1:05This one has a point A, a point B, and
  40. 1:07then extends indefinitely in one
  41. 1:09direction. You can favorite it, so it'll
  42. 1:10stay right up here, easy to access. Now,
  43. 1:12the trend line allows us to identify
  44. 1:15swing highs or swing lows or the
  45. 1:18direction and speed in which an
  46. 1:20instrument is moving. So, when we're
  47. 1:22drawing trend lines, we're trying to
  48. 1:23capture as many touch points as possible
  49. 1:25and identify swing highs for downward
  50. 1:27trend lines and swing lows for upward
  51. 1:30trend lines. Where the price has come up
  52. 1:31higher, created a swing low, continued
  53. 1:33to move and push higher. So, we've got
  54. 1:35upward trend lines, we've got downward
  55. 1:36trend lines. This is just showing us the
  56. 1:38direction of price movement. Each time
  57. 1:40it comes up and creates a high, it
  58. 1:42pushes lower. Each time it creates a
  59. 1:43high, it pushes lower. This is a lower
  60. 1:45high, a lower high, and continuing to
  61. 1:47push lower and lower and lower. For the
  62. 1:48upward trend, we've got higher lows.
  63. 1:50Each time price comes down and creates a
  64. 1:52low, it still pushes back. This is a
  65. 1:53higher low, creates a low, but it's a
  66. 1:55higher low, a higher low, a higher low,
  67. 1:57and continuing to push higher and
  68. 1:58higher. So, these trend lines allow us
  69. 2:00to identify the direction of the price.
  70. 2:03It allows us to also identify the speed.
  71. 2:05How steep is the trend line? How fast is
  72. 2:07it trending up? So, the tool allows us
  73. 2:09to track the price. Essentially, that's
  74. 2:11what we're trying to do. Okay, so this
  75. 2:12was the easy part. You know how to draw
  76. 2:14the trend line, you know how to lock it
  77. 2:15in, but a trend line on its own is worth
  78. 2:17nothing. [music] Now, here's the part
  79. 2:18that most people skip. It's something
  80. 2:19called top-down analysis. So, I'm going
  81. 2:21to walk you guys through it, explain
  82. 2:22[music] how useful it is, why we use it,
  83. 2:25and how we do it step by step. So, we're
  84. 2:26going to start by deleting the random
  85. 2:28lines that we've drawn on the chart, and
  86. 2:29the first place we'll start. So, to get
  87. 2:31us in position, we need to start on the
  88. 2:33monthly time frame, and I'll explain
  89. 2:34why. So, the monthly time frame gives us
  90. 2:37as much context as possible. We get to
  91. 2:39see what your instrument has done from
  92. 2:40the very beginning, the very beginning
  93. 2:42when you hear that dinosaur icon, to
  94. 2:44where the price is at now. Open price
  95. 2:46action right here. Hard right edge. You
  96. 2:47get to see all of the context. That's
  97. 2:49amazing. That's the top. Now, we need to
  98. 2:50work our way down. Top-down analysis.
  99. 2:52So, outside of seeing the context of all
  100. 2:55of its movement, all of the highs it's
  101. 2:57ever made, the lows it's ever made, we
  102. 2:59want to bring in this tool that I showed
  103. 3:02you guys just a moment ago, the ray tool
  104. 3:03or the trend line. We want to identify
  105. 3:05trends on the monthly time frame. And in
  106. 3:07order to do that, we hit the ray tool,
  107. 3:09just like we did before. For our very
  108. 3:10first downward trend line, we're using
  109. 3:12the highest point we see on the screen
  110. 3:13as our pivot point or a point A. Boom.
  111. 3:15We just locked it in. Now, we need to
  112. 3:18lock in the degree or the angle, and
  113. 3:19this is how. So, you have these few
  114. 3:21rules to abide by. One, price cannot
  115. 3:23intersect the trend line. So, when we're
  116. 3:25drawing our trend lines or identifying
  117. 3:27these trends and marking them up, we
  118. 3:28have to make sure the price has not
  119. 3:30poked through. So, I'll show you what it
  120. 3:31looks like when price has poked through.
  121. 3:33If we drew a line right here, it looks
  122. 3:35amazing. Point A, touch point, touch
  123. 3:37point, touch point, close enough here,
  124. 3:38but price has already poked through and
  125. 3:40intersected completely. So, this would
  126. 3:42be incorrect for our top-down analysis.
  127. 3:44So, we need to make sure price has not
  128. 3:46intersected. This is our very first
  129. 3:49downward trend line. We followed the
  130. 3:50rule. Price hasn't intersected. Now, we
  131. 3:52have another rule. Each trend line has
  132. 3:54to connect, and that brings me to my
  133. 3:55next point as to how we do this top-down
  134. 3:58analysis. So, we're going to identify
  135. 4:00all of the trends we can in the monthly
  136. 4:01time frame, but we want to continue
  137. 4:03marking up trends and moving down time
  138. 4:05frames. So, we'll identify the trends in
  139. 4:07the monthly, we'll identify the trends
  140. 4:08in the weekly, then the daily, then the
  141. 4:104-hour, then the 1-hour leading all the
  142. 4:12way up to the 15-minute time frame. But,
  143. 4:13each trend line has to connect to one
  144. 4:15another as we work our way down from
  145. 4:18top-down. So, this is putting all of the
  146. 4:20price movement that it's ever made all
  147. 4:22into context leading us up to where the
  148. 4:24price is at now. So, every time we move
  149. 4:26down a time frame, we've used the
  150. 4:28previous higher time frame to give us
  151. 4:29context for the next, and so on and so
  152. 4:31forth, leading all the way up to
  153. 4:32real-time price action. That's the goal.
  154. 4:34So, we need to draw one more trend line
  155. 4:36on this monthly time frame before we
  156. 4:38start working our way down. Now, we need
  157. 4:39to follow the second rule here, which is
  158. 4:42each trend line needs to connect to one
  159. 4:43another. Now, a good rule of thumb for
  160. 4:44that is each line's previous point B or
  161. 4:48most recent touchpoint will be your new
  162. 4:50point A, your new starting point, or
  163. 4:52your new pivot point. So, this is where
  164. 4:54this previous trend line's point B was,
  165. 4:56or last touchpoint. This is now going to
  166. 4:58be where my new trend line starts, point
  167. 5:00A here. Now, we're still going to follow
  168. 5:01the same rules we did for the last one.
  169. 5:02Make sure price doesn't intersect. Boom.
  170. 5:05This is as far as we can go. We have
  171. 5:06just drawn two downward trend lines on
  172. 5:08the monthly time frame. Amazing. Now, we
  173. 5:10need an upward trend line. We need to
  174. 5:11identify bullish and bearish movement,
  175. 5:13upward and downward trend lines on each
  176. 5:15time frame. So, now, let's draw our very
  177. 5:17first upward trend line. Same tool,
  178. 5:18we're going to use the ray tool. Now,
  179. 5:20when drawing your first upward trend
  180. 5:21line, it is the opposite of our
  181. 5:22downward. So, when we drew our first
  182. 5:24downward trend line, we were looking for
  183. 5:25the highest point we see on the screen.
  184. 5:27For our first upward trend line, we're
  185. 5:28looking for the lowest point we see on
  186. 5:29the screen. Boom, right here. Same set
  187. 5:31of rules. We want to make sure we're
  188. 5:33trying to capture as many touchpoints as
  189. 5:34possible, but we don't want price to
  190. 5:36intersect. So, we can't come up here, we
  191. 5:38can't use this here. This is the only
  192. 5:40place we can solidify or lock in our
  193. 5:42pivot point for the second trend line.
  194. 5:44Now, we only have one upward trend line
  195. 5:46for this scenario here on the monthly
  196. 5:47time frame because price didn't give us
  197. 5:49any other swing highs or swing lows. We
  198. 5:51just completed marking up our trends on
  199. 5:53the monthly time frame, but we're not
  200. 5:54done. This is called a top-down
  201. 5:56analysis, so we need to continue working
  202. 5:57our way down. We're done on the monthly,
  203. 5:59now we need to move our way to the
  204. 6:00weekly time frame. So, as you work your
  205. 6:01way to lower time frames, we're going to
  206. 6:03start to see more price action and get a
  207. 6:05little bit more precise with our lines.
  208. 6:07So, you'll notice as you come into these
  209. 6:08lower time frames, our lines look a
  210. 6:09little bit wonky, a little bit off. Each
  211. 6:11time we go down to a lower time frame,
  212. 6:13we'll make some slight adjustments.
  213. 6:14We'll get that a little bit more precise
  214. 6:15[clears throat] on that low and we'll
  215. 6:16move this line to be a little bit more
  216. 6:18precise on that point B. Our downward
  217. 6:19trend lines look great though. Now,
  218. 6:20we're going to move our way to the
  219. 6:21weekly time frame. Now, in the weekly
  220. 6:23time frame, we need to draw one more
  221. 6:25downward trend line and one more upward
  222. 6:26trend line. This is a great tool by the
  223. 6:28way, this reset chart view. If your view
  224. 6:31of the charts ever get skewed or messed
  225. 6:33up or wonky and you start to lose track
  226. 6:35of what you had going on, you can always
  227. 6:36come back to this reset. Boom, there we
  228. 6:38go. And then zoom in and zoom out. Now,
  229. 6:40we need to come in with a steeper
  230. 6:42downward trend line and a steeper upward
  231. 6:43trend line to continue tracking price
  232. 6:45steeper and steeper, identifying the
  233. 6:47trends in each time frame. So, when we
  234. 6:49come in with a steeper upward trend
  235. 6:51line, we're going to follow the same
  236. 6:53rules. Each trend line has to connect,
  237. 6:54we're going to try to capture as many
  238. 6:55touch points as possible and we don't
  239. 6:56want price to intersect. Now, in this
  240. 6:58scenario, we can see that we need to
  241. 6:59make a slight adjustment because our
  242. 7:00line is a little bit off. Boom, there we
  243. 7:02go. Now, we've captured this touch
  244. 7:03point. So, when drawing our steeper
  245. 7:05upward trend line, the previous point B
  246. 7:07or the most recent touch point on the
  247. 7:08last line will be the new touch point or
  248. 7:11the point A of our new trend line. Boom.
  249. 7:15Following the same rule, there we go. We
  250. 7:16have just drawn our second upward trend
  251. 7:18line. Now, we need a steeper downward
  252. 7:20trend line. Okay, previous point B is
  253. 7:22new point A. Capture as many touch
  254. 7:24points as possible without price
  255. 7:25intersecting. We can't go very far with
  256. 7:27this one. If we come in any steeper,
  257. 7:28we'll have cut off this price here. But,
  258. 7:30we can continue to keep going steeper
  259. 7:32with our downward trend lines. Previous
  260. 7:34point B is new point A. We're going to
  261. 7:35try to capture as many touch points as
  262. 7:36possible without price intersecting.
  263. 7:38Okay, that is as far as we can go in the
  264. 7:40weekly time frame. All of the lines that
  265. 7:41we just drew on the weekly had context
  266. 7:44from the monthly. We're going to do the
  267. 7:45same thing for the daily timeframe. So,
  268. 7:47we just did monthly, we did weekly, now
  269. 7:49we're moving our way to the daily
  270. 7:49timeframe. Now, as we're coming into the
  271. 7:51lower timeframes, remember we'll have to
  272. 7:52make some slight adjustments because
  273. 7:54we're just getting a little bit more
  274. 7:55precise.
  275. 7:56So, I'm going to make some slight
  276. 7:57adjustments to these lines here,
  277. 8:00to this line here, and upper trend lines
  278. 8:02look great. Okay, for the upper trend
  279. 8:03line, I can see a steeper upper trend
  280. 8:05line that we can draw. Previous point B
  281. 8:07is new point A, capture as many touch
  282. 8:08points as possible without price
  283. 8:10intersecting. Now, let's keep going.
  284. 8:11Let's go from the daily to the 4-hour.
  285. 8:13We need to make some slight adjustments
  286. 8:15here, and we can come in even steeper.
  287. 8:17So, previous point B is new point A, try
  288. 8:19to capture as many touch points as
  289. 8:20possible, but don't let price intersect.
  290. 8:23Now, let's go to the 1-hour timeframe.
  291. 8:24Okay, now we're in the 1-hour timeframe.
  292. 8:26We've cleaned up our lines ever so
  293. 8:28slightly. We've got our point A, we got
  294. 8:29our point B. Now, let's go to the
  295. 8:3115-minute timeframe. We're going to zoom
  296. 8:33out a little bit here and adjust our
  297. 8:35lines a little bit. This needs to go
  298. 8:38there.
  299. 8:39And that needs to go there. Now, we have
  300. 8:42made it all the way to the 15-minute
  301. 8:43timeframe. This means we have just taken
  302. 8:45in all of the context from all of the
  303. 8:47higher timeframes leading us all the way
  304. 8:49up to real-time price action right now
  305. 8:51at this 8216 here. Okay, so we have
  306. 8:53drawn our trend [music] lines. We've
  307. 8:55done our top-down analysis. We know what
  308. 8:56it is, how to do it, and why we use it.
  309. 8:58These are still just lines. So, now we
  310. 9:01need to understand how price [music]
  311. 9:02reacts to these lines, and what do we do
  312. 9:04when price does? Price is going to react
  313. 9:06in either one of two ways with our trend
  314. 9:08lines. It's either going to get to it
  315. 9:10and respect it, bounce off, get to it
  316. 9:13and bounce off, or price is going to
  317. 9:15violate it
  318. 9:17and poke through and break through. What
  319. 9:19I'm going to show you guys today is the
  320. 9:21cheat code to trading when price
  321. 9:23respects the line. When price gets to it
  322. 9:26and bounces off. This is called a trend
  323. 9:28line bounce setup. Now, when we're
  324. 9:31trading the bounce, that means we're
  325. 9:32anticipating that the price is going to
  326. 9:35continue to respect this line that we've
  327. 9:37drawn. We're anticipating the price is
  328. 9:38going to come down to the line and then
  329. 9:40respect. It's going to come down to the
  330. 9:41line and then continue to push higher.
  331. 9:42Create these lower highs and continue to
  332. 9:44move higher and higher. But now, how is
  333. 9:46this a risk-free bingo card? How does
  334. 9:48this give us the lowest possible risk
  335. 9:50scenarios and give us the smallest
  336. 9:52possible losses? It's because if we're
  337. 9:55anticipating the bounce,
  338. 9:56that means we're getting involved when
  339. 9:58the price is as close to the trend line
  340. 10:00as possible. So that when it does turn
  341. 10:02around and move in our favor, we just
  342. 10:03got involved at the most pivotal moment
  343. 10:05here where price got to showed us it was
  344. 10:07respecting and then pushed higher. If it
  345. 10:09doesn't push higher, this is what I
  346. 10:11really want to show you. If this trade
  347. 10:12doesn't work out and it doesn't continue
  348. 10:14to respect the line, let's say price
  349. 10:16gets here, we enter our position at the
  350. 10:18pivotal moment and then price violates.
  351. 10:21This right here is the smallest possible
  352. 10:23risk to take on to put us in position in
  353. 10:26case price was going to push higher.
  354. 10:28Okay, so we've gone over the idea of the
  355. 10:31pivot point, when price respects, when
  356. 10:33it violates. But now I want to show you
  357. 10:35the exact criteria [music]
  358. 10:37that gets us into the trade. So, what
  359. 10:39needs to happen in order for us to get
  360. 10:41into the trade? Price, at minimum, has
  361. 10:43to get at or near the trend line.
  362. 10:45Amazing. So now let me show you this in
  363. 10:46a real-world example, what price has
  364. 10:49actually done and how you would be using
  365. 10:50the strategy in an example like this,
  366. 10:52which is crude oil on the 15-minute time
  367. 10:54frame having done your full top-down
  368. 10:56analysis. Price is heading towards one
  369. 10:58of our trend lines. Remember, we want to
  370. 11:00get involved at the pivotal moment when
  371. 11:02price gets at the line or near the line,
  372. 11:04close enough to the line. I'm going to
  373. 11:05use the replay tool to move bar by bar
  374. 11:08as price reacted or as the way price
  375. 11:10action actually played out to see where
  376. 11:12do we get in, how do we take action and
  377. 11:13get into a trade. So right now, price is
  378. 11:15heading towards the line. It's moving
  379. 11:16away from it now. Okay, it's pushing
  380. 11:18towards the line again. But remember, we
  381. 11:19don't want to get involved until we get
  382. 11:21to that pivotal moment where price is at
  383. 11:24or near the line. It's getting very
  384. 11:26close. It's getting very close. We're
  385. 11:28about to hit that pivotal moment here.
  386. 11:29Boom. Price has just gotten close enough
  387. 11:31to our line. Now, what does this mean?
  388. 11:33So, we have just watched price come all
  389. 11:35the way down to our trend line. This is
  390. 11:37a very pivotal area. What do we do now?
  391. 11:39This is our time to take action. So,
  392. 11:41this is where I like to call this upward
  393. 11:43line an action line. It will only become
  394. 11:45an action line when price reacts to this
  395. 11:47line. Now that price has gotten to it
  396. 11:48and bounced off, it is our time to take
  397. 11:50action. This is our entry criteria right
  398. 11:52here. This is what gets us into the
  399. 11:54trade. I'm going to get us into our
  400. 11:56position here. We want to take action.
  401. 11:57We want to get into a position. We're
  402. 11:58going to do one contract. We're going to
  403. 12:00place a buy order, but now where does
  404. 12:02our stop go? How much are we willing to
  405. 12:04lose in this position? Do you remember
  406. 12:06the example that I gave you where we
  407. 12:07drew out getting in at the pivotal
  408. 12:09moment and then price violating the
  409. 12:11line? This is exactly what has to happen
  410. 12:13in order for us to take a loss if price
  411. 12:15violates the line. So, if we get into
  412. 12:17our position right here at this 8180 and
  413. 12:20the price comes down and violates the
  414. 12:22line, we will lose $420. Now, if that
  415. 12:25number sounds big to you, remember we
  416. 12:26talked about how this setup is geared
  417. 12:28towards smaller account sizes. If this
  418. 12:30is too big for you, there is something
  419. 12:32called crude oil micro, which is 1/10
  420. 12:35the amount of the mini. So, I want to
  421. 12:37walk you guys through the exact same
  422. 12:39trade, but if you were to trade this on
  423. 12:41the micros. So, we're going to go over
  424. 12:42here to micro crude oil to the 15-minute
  425. 12:45time frame. We're going to wait for
  426. 12:46price to work its way to our line, our
  427. 12:48pivotal point before we get involved.
  428. 12:50Boom. Same exact price point here. We're
  429. 12:52going to get into our same trade here.
  430. 12:54One contract, market, stop loss. Now, if
  431. 12:57the price breaks our safety line, we are
  432. 12:59going to lose $50. A significant
  433. 13:02difference between the $420 over here,
  434. 13:04we've got the $50 over here. It could
  435. 13:06even be $42 depending on how tight we
  436. 13:09put this stop. If the price violates the
  437. 13:11line after this pivotal moment, we lose
  438. 13:14$42. Let's lock in this position. We're
  439. 13:16in. We're going to lock in the same
  440. 13:18position in the minis over here. Okay,
  441. 13:20I'm going to put these side by side so
  442. 13:22that we can see the same trade play out
  443. 13:24with someone that has a smaller account
  444. 13:25size versus someone who can trade the
  445. 13:27minis has a little bit bigger account
  446. 13:29size. But the risk, the downside to each
  447. 13:31one of these is still minimal. All
  448. 13:33right, in the lower account size
  449. 13:35scenario, we have already made one to
  450. 13:37one. We're up $57. We were willing to
  451. 13:39lose $42. Now, let's go over to the
  452. 13:41bigger account size. Same scenario over
  453. 13:42here. We're up $580. We were willing to
  454. 13:44lose $420. This is just the beginning.
  455. 13:47We're still not done here. Remember, I
  456. 13:48also mentioned that this is going to
  457. 13:50give you the lowest possible downside,
  458. 13:52but the highest possible upside. We're
  459. 13:54looking for more than just $57. Same in
  460. 13:56this scenario, we're looking for more
  461. 13:58than just $580. We want to get in for
  462. 13:59this entire trend, this entire movement.
  463. 14:02So, how long are we going to stay in
  464. 14:03this position for? We've talked about
  465. 14:05the line that tells us when to take
  466. 14:06action. When price gets to this pivotal
  467. 14:08moment, gets at or near our trend
  468. 14:10[music] line. That's our entry. That's
  469. 14:11our action line. But now, when do we get
  470. 14:13out? How long and how much profit do we
  471. 14:15want [music] to take? How much can we
  472. 14:16capture? This is when price violates the
  473. 14:19line. So, we know as soon as we got in,
  474. 14:21if price would have violated, we would
  475. 14:22have taken our $52 loss or our $420
  476. 14:25loss. But what happens if price keeps
  477. 14:26going? We're going to continue to move
  478. 14:28this stop as price moves along our trend
  479. 14:31line. As price continues to trend in
  480. 14:33this direction. So, each time price
  481. 14:35gives us a new swing low or a new pivot
  482. 14:38point or a new area, we want to move
  483. 14:40this stop to capture that. If that
  484. 14:41doesn't make a whole lot of sense, don't
  485. 14:43worry, we're going to walk through this
  486. 14:43step by step. So, let's keep going.
  487. 14:45Right now, we're up $1,000,
  488. 14:47$500. There was a point in time where we
  489. 14:49were up a thousand and almost back down
  490. 14:51to break even within two candles here.
  491. 14:53The coolest part about that is that we
  492. 14:55don't have to worry, we don't have to
  493. 14:56think, are we going to give all this
  494. 14:57profit back? As long as price respects
  495. 15:00this upward trend line, we're
  496. 15:01comfortable. Even when we would just
  497. 15:02went from a thousand to break even in
  498. 15:04two candles. We're only anticipating an
  499. 15:06exit when price violates the line. It
  500. 15:08doesn't matter if it comes back to break
  501. 15:09even, if price comes back to the line,
  502. 15:12we want to see it violate in order for
  503. 15:14us to close and be done with the trade.
  504. 15:15So, let's see what this potential upside
  505. 15:17could be for this trade. We're going to
  506. 15:18keep going.
  507. 15:20We're waiting for price to give us
  508. 15:21another swing low for us to move this
  509. 15:23stop. Right now we're up $2,660
  510. 15:27in the minis. Let's go back over to the
  511. 15:28micros. We saw that same spike within
  512. 15:31two candles. Price hasn't violated our
  513. 15:33safety line and boom, we're up $281.
  514. 15:36Let's keep going.
  515. 15:40Price just made a big push in our favor
  516. 15:43and now is kind of consolidating moving
  517. 15:45sideways. It's starting to work its way
  518. 15:47back towards our line yet again. That's
  519. 15:49what we want to see.
  520. 15:50Right now price has been fluctuating
  521. 15:52between 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 2,000,
  522. 15:553,000 for this example here. There we
  523. 15:56go. We just got a another swing low.
  524. 15:59Price just got back to another pivot
  525. 16:01point. This is our moment to take our
  526. 16:03stop loss and adjust it below this last
  527. 16:06swing. Now, we just turned our risk from
  528. 16:08$420 to a profit of 1,500. We just
  529. 16:12locked in our new stop loss. So, worst
  530. 16:14case scenario, if price comes back down
  531. 16:16and violates our line, we take a profit
  532. 16:19of 1,550.
  533. 16:21As price continues to create swings
  534. 16:23along this line, we're going to continue
  535. 16:25to move this stop loss along this line.
  536. 16:27So, we just went from a initial loss of
  537. 16:30420 to a profit of 1,550. Let's do the
  538. 16:33same scenario over here in these smaller
  539. 16:35account trade. Price made a big push to
  540. 16:37the upside and now we can see this kind
  541. 16:39of continue to move sideways gravitating
  542. 16:41towards that line.
  543. 16:46There we go. Price gave us that same
  544. 16:47swing, that same higher low. We're going
  545. 16:50to adjust our stop loss to go below this
  546. 16:52last swing. Okay. So, we're in the same
  547. 16:54position on either instrument. We've
  548. 16:57locked in our worst case scenario, which
  549. 16:59is a profit, but we still want to see
  550. 17:00the maximum results for this trade, the
  551. 17:03maximum move, the entire trend. So,
  552. 17:06we're staying in until price violates.
  553. 17:08Let's keep going.
  554. 17:09Now bonus, remember we talked about this
  555. 17:11pivotal moment when price gets to the
  556. 17:14line, this is an entry. If you didn't
  557. 17:16take this position over here, this could
  558. 17:18have been a second entry, another pivot
  559. 17:20point. If you missed this one, you could
  560. 17:22have gotten in here. Same on the left
  561. 17:23side, same on the right trade over here.
  562. 17:25This could have been another entry. You
  563. 17:27would have done it exactly the same.
  564. 17:28Entry here, if price violated, would
  565. 17:30have been around that $420. Same
  566. 17:33scenario for here, would have been that
  567. 17:34$42. But we're staying in. We want to
  568. 17:36see this trend play out for its
  569. 17:37entirety. Okay, price is pushing back to
  570. 17:40the line
  571. 17:41and still respecting. Price is pushing
  572. 17:43back to this line. Are we going to have
  573. 17:44to get ready to close? Now, as price
  574. 17:46created these higher lows, we're going
  575. 17:48to continue to move this stop along each
  576. 17:50swing low here, locking it in. We're
  577. 17:52locking in profits every time price
  578. 17:53swings lower, but continues to respect
  579. 17:55the line.
  580. 17:56Okay, price just gave us another swing
  581. 17:58low. We're taking that stop loss and
  582. 18:00moving it up here. We adjusted our stop
  583. 18:02loss yet again to this new pivot point.
  584. 18:04We're going to continue to stay in as
  585. 18:05long as price respects. Okay, price
  586. 18:07created yet another swing. Every time it
  587. 18:09creates a swing low closer to that line,
  588. 18:11we're adjusting the stop higher and
  589. 18:13higher and higher. There we go. Locked
  590. 18:15it in.
  591. 18:16Let's keep going.
  592. 18:18There we go. So, we can still see our
  593. 18:19entry and where the price is at now.
  594. 18:20Okay, price created yet another swing
  595. 18:22low. We're going to adjust that stop.
  596. 18:24Now, always remember when adjusting the
  597. 18:25stop, it needs to be in an area where
  598. 18:28price has to violate the line entirely
  599. 18:31in order for our stop to be hit. So, you
  600. 18:32don't want to ever put it above the
  601. 18:34line. It always needs to be on the other
  602. 18:35side of the line. That's how we know
  603. 18:37that the trend is over and price has
  604. 18:38violated the line. Confirm. Let's keep
  605. 18:41going.
  606. 18:42Okay. Now, let's see if this is going to
  607. 18:44create yet another pivot point and you
  608. 18:46can see price has just violated the
  609. 18:48line. Let's zoom in a little bit closer
  610. 18:49so you guys can see this. We want to see
  611. 18:51price close on the other side of the
  612. 18:53trend line for us to manually close our
  613. 18:55position or for our stop loss to just
  614. 18:56simply be hit. Let's see out of one of
  615. 18:58these two scenarios what happens. All
  616. 18:59right, price just closed on the other
  617. 19:01side of the safety line. We can close
  618. 19:02our position manually as we have just
  619. 19:04seen price violated the line. I'm going
  620. 19:06to manually close this trade because our
  621. 19:08line was violated. We are up $4,000
  622. 19:11exactly. Position closed. Profits locked
  623. 19:14in. Insane upside. So, this was an
  624. 19:16entire trade that we got to watch play
  625. 19:18out from start to finish. Entry here,
  626. 19:20exit here, and the downside was $420.
  627. 19:24We just made $4,000 in this scenario. An
  628. 19:27absolute cheat code to trading. We got
  629. 19:30in on the trend because price got to a
  630. 19:31pivotal point. We stayed in to the move
  631. 19:33even through all of these swings, these
  632. 19:35highs, these lows, price pushing up
  633. 19:37high, consolidating, moving sideways,
  634. 19:39but still respecting the line. until
  635. 19:41price violated the line that we decided
  636. 19:44to close this position. I want to finish
  637. 19:45out the scenario with this smaller
  638. 19:47account size trade so that we can see
  639. 19:49both these trades all the way through.
  640. 19:50All right, same scenario over here. As
  641. 19:52soon as price violates this line, we're
  642. 19:54closing our position. Boom. In this
  643. 19:56scenario, the price hit our stop and we
  644. 19:58closed out of our position with a profit
  645. 20:00of $387.
  646. 20:02Our downside to this small account was
  647. 20:05$42.
  648. 20:06We just made $387.
  649. 20:09This is the highest possible upside with
  650. 20:11the lowest possible risk we had to take
  651. 20:13on. So, you guys were able to see start
  652. 20:14to finish, entry to exit, how much we
  653. 20:16had to risk, and how we stayed in this
  654. 20:18trade. So, now I challenge you to do
  655. 20:19this. You've seen the walk-through.
  656. 20:21[music] Go to your charts, open up
  657. 20:22TradingView, any instrument, and I want
  658. 20:24you to completely clear everything off
  659. 20:26the chart. Naked chart, just [music]
  660. 20:27price action. Do your top-down analysis.
  661. 20:29Identify your trends. Make sure each
  662. 20:30trend line connects from the higher time
  663. 20:32frame. Go all the way to your designated
  664. 20:34time frame. You can choose. [music] You
  665. 20:35can trade on the 1-hour. You can trade
  666. 20:37on the 15-minute. You can go all the way
  667. 20:38down to the 5-minute. But, make sure you
  668. 20:39can continue to follow those rules from
  669. 20:41the [music] top-down analysis. But, then
  670. 20:42you'll know where your trend lines are,
  671. 20:44wait for price to get to that pivot
  672. 20:45point, and then enter your position.
  673. 20:46Make sure you calculate [music] that
  674. 20:47lowest possible risk, that small loss
  675. 20:49that you'll take if price violates the
  676. 20:51line and doesn't end up respecting, and
  677. 20:53then see it all the way through. So, I
  678. 20:54challenge you to do that, and then come
  679. 20:55back to this video, drop a comment, and
  680. 20:56see how that played out. Was this the
  681. 20:58actual cheat code to trading? Go try for
  682. 21:00yourself.
