- 0:25welcome back to the channel everybody my
- 0:27name's artie and this is the moving
- 0:29average a show where we discuss
- 0:31everything day trading to keep you
- 0:32profitable on a consistent basis like
- 0:35you guys have probably seen in some of
- 0:36my live streams i like to start out my
- 0:39day with a fresh perspective absolutely
- 0:41no indicators just looking at the charts
- 0:44so that i can get a good idea of what's
- 0:46going on in the market without all the
- 0:48noise and distractions indicators are
- 0:50there to supplement your knowledge
- 0:52not to predicate your decisions i'm
- 0:54really gonna try to keep this video
- 0:56under five minutes so let's get into the
- 0:58charts alright so we're looking at us 30
- 1:00right here on a 15 minute time frame and
- 1:03what i like about us 30 and other
- 1:06indices is that they trend very very
- 1:10very well like you can see these long
- 1:12periods of down price action long
- 1:16periods of up price action long periods
- 1:19of consolidation
- 1:20all of this just makes me extremely
- 1:23happy and it's it's basically a puzzle
- 1:26to me so
- 1:27what i like to do when i see this you
- 1:29guys know about my support and
- 1:30resistance levels but i'm gonna
- 1:32completely not do that i'm gonna try not
- 1:34to do that in this video and just talk
- 1:37about price action and how you can draw
- 1:40up trend lines
- 1:41then looking for the divergences at the
- 1:44overbought and oversold areas not
- 1:47definitive points just those areas all
- 1:49right give me a few seconds to mark this
- 1:51up and then we'll get back to it
- 1:56okay this is not zooming in whatsoever i
- 1:59just drew up general areas of resistance
- 2:03that i saw where the price rejected
- 2:05consistently as many points as i can
- 2:08connect the dots with this can be
- 2:10fine-tuned once you zoom in but doing
- 2:12this type of markup on your charts and
- 2:15then looking for divergences like
- 2:19just without even putting up an rsi
- 2:21right here i'm pretty sure that this low
- 2:24and this low created a divergence so
- 2:26let's pop up an rsi indicator on here
- 2:30and just just take a look at what it
- 2:33does unfortunately unfortunately trading
- 2:35view won't let me have my divergence
- 2:38indicator like publicly available so i
- 2:41don't know i'll probably just like make
- 2:42the script available in the telegram
- 2:44group or something but you guys know how
- 2:46i change my settings we're going to go
- 2:48yellow remove the upper band and the
- 2:50lower band middle band is going to be
- 2:52solid
- 2:53and the background is going to go away
- 2:55make this line just a little bit fatter
- 2:58i think
- 3:00now we'll keep it thin
- 3:02and we're gonna look at this point
- 3:05draw a vertical line
- 3:07and this point draw a vertical line
- 3:10right so sure as
- 3:13we have a price action made a lower low
- 3:16right but if you look at the rsi
- 3:22we made
- 3:24a higher low and it's like a clear and
- 3:27concise divergence you can obviously see
- 3:31that that's making a higher low so now
- 3:33that you know that information and you
- 3:36take this trend line and you make it
- 3:38more just a little bit more precise you
- 3:40know we take that top part we get where
- 3:43all the price rejected you see these
- 3:45like small breakouts if you don't know
- 3:47how to avoid these please
- 3:49please for the love of god watch my
- 3:51video that i did to avoid false
- 3:54breakouts but you know you see this
- 3:56price continue to go down continue to go
- 3:58down and then you see this like you know
- 4:01opening bell type of mess right here
- 4:03like say you didn't you weren't trading
- 4:05this and you just saw you know this
- 4:07trend line so i'm gonna have to explain
- 4:09why why because with false breakouts
- 4:13right so you you break out of the trend
- 4:16line and then the next candle comes back
- 4:19in so you want like to wait until you
- 4:22know that candle has
- 4:23like you know not done that and also you
- 4:26want a divergence at the same time so so
- 4:30when looking at like a break and re-test
- 4:32with the divergence these are the things
- 4:34that you need to look out for because
- 4:37you're basically looking for a trend
- 4:38reversal trade at this point which is
- 4:41very risky and it's easier to trade with
- 4:43the trend as you guys know from all of
- 4:45my videos begging you to trade with the
- 4:48trend but this is a trend reversal this
- 4:50one wouldn't even be an option because
- 4:52we're having basically the same point on
- 4:55all of these not really lower lows yes
- 4:57the rsi is making higher lows but that's
- 5:00not a definitive divergence like you
- 5:01want to see a nice big fat you know
- 5:05angle and then you get this engulfing
- 5:07candle it continues down makes this low
- 5:09but then we had a breakout right here
- 5:11and it it broke out and then the next
- 5:13candle went down that's the thing you
- 5:15need to look out for
- 5:16this is where you need to be very very
- 5:18cautious you already had your first
- 5:20warning right here that this is a
- 5:21possibility so i would be very cautious
- 5:24on breaks and retests right here
- 5:26this one would have been attractive to
- 5:28me but i would have watched to see what
- 5:31happened with this next candle then we
- 5:33got this huge one and it's like okay i
- 5:35know that there is like liquidity here
- 5:37and they want to get as much as possible
- 5:40so once you see things like this you
- 5:43need to keep an eye out for the trap
- 5:45these are all traps trying to bring
- 5:48people back in draw the price down a
- 5:49little bit more
- 5:50and then we got this definitive
- 5:52divergence right here at this point you
- 5:54know you're still looking out for the
- 5:56traps it happened here again
- 5:59and then at this point right here where
- 6:01this next candle did not break below
- 6:04that trend line this would have been a
- 6:06nice indication for me like okay now we
- 6:09can think about taking long positions so
- 6:12even if i did take it there at the close
- 6:14of that candle and i know there's a lot
- 6:16of people that like to put their stop
- 6:18loss below the swing low but when you
- 6:20see huge candles like this it's it's not
- 6:24it's not intelligent to have a 230
- 6:27point stop loss on us 30. so what i
- 6:30would do is just go to the bottom of
- 6:32that candle that signified the actual
- 6:34break out of that trend line that's
- 6:37still a huge stop loss but when looking
- 6:39for a trend reversal trade
- 6:42that's gonna have your biggest benefit
- 6:44because you're getting the bottom of
- 6:45that move and you can actually ride that
- 6:48wave up quite high so this i mean
- 6:50definitely would have scared the piss
- 6:52out of me but only risking one percent
- 6:54you know i would have been fine with the
- 6:56loss if it did happen knowing how much
- 6:58manipulation was happening here and all
- 7:01of these like stop hunts to grab
- 7:03liquidity but it didn't hit the stop
- 7:05loss which is nice and then you just do
- 7:07like you know a one to five if you're
- 7:09skittish or a one to two risk to reward
- 7:11ratio you know and once it broke out of
- 7:13that range like you see that that second
- 7:16rejection you feel more comfortable with
- 7:18your trade and it obviously worked out
- 7:20really well but once that happens you
- 7:22need to see like where's the new trend
- 7:24line forming and you you know you can
- 7:26take it from the bodies or the wicks you
- 7:28know it's it's all subjective i like wix
- 7:30sometimes
- 7:31because i know that at one point that
- 7:33was an entire solid candle so you know
- 7:36you take it off the wicks and you you
- 7:38start drawing this new trend line and
- 7:39you can adjust it depending on like if
- 7:41it's literally vertical skyrocketing you
- 7:43know
- 7:44whatever
- 7:45and you just rock that and then because
- 7:47this is the new trend you know you you
- 7:49see it kind of like losing momentum but
- 7:51it's coming down to this trend line
- 7:53again so at this point you know i would
- 7:55be looking for a rejection off of that
- 7:58because i haven't seen any divergences
- 8:00here on the rsi so like i said again
- 8:03price action is king when you can just
- 8:05follow price
- 8:06make good trend lines and make the
- 8:08decision and avoid these traps like know
- 8:11that the traps are always there this is
- 8:14why 95 percent of day traders fail is
- 8:16because they fall for these traps you
- 8:19have to deploy patience it's the most
- 8:22important thing you don't want like the
- 8:24one candle to break a trend line because
- 8:26the next one
- 8:28most likely is going to go the opposite
- 8:30direction you always want that break and
- 8:32re-test and if you see a lot of noise
- 8:35like this where it's just like whip
- 8:36sawing back and forth you need to be
- 8:38extremely cautious and know that there
- 8:41is a chance that you're going to be
- 8:43stuck in a position like this like
- 8:45honestly this could have consolidated
- 8:47here for a few days now one thing i'd
- 8:49like to discuss about divergences is
- 8:52that a lot of people are like taking
- 8:54divergences at like the 60 or you know
- 8:5765 level or on the bottom side you know
- 9:01say 40 45 and it's like it's not it's
- 9:05not what it's meant to do a divergence
- 9:07you want it to get to that typical rsi
- 9:09oversold the 70 and 30 levels and or
- 9:13above so you know if the rsi hit the 90
- 9:16level
- 9:17and then you know price continues up but
- 9:19then the rsi is going down that's the
- 9:21area that you want to focus on so
- 9:23anything
- 9:24higher than 70 or lower than 30 like we
- 9:28hit here we got a 23.5
- 9:32on the rsi so once that happens you
- 9:35don't want to immediately get in for a
- 9:37buy what you'd like to do is wait for
- 9:39the divergence and see if it makes like
- 9:41a substantial divergence which it did
- 9:43right here it went from the 23 all the
- 9:46way up to the 40
- 9:48while creating that lower low and those
- 9:50are the things that you really want to
- 9:52take advantage of you want to see that
- 9:54divergence you want to track your trend
- 9:56line and watch that break and re-test
- 9:59and then get in on your trade but know
- 10:01that that is the most risky area trend
- 10:04reversal trades are extremely extremely
- 10:06risky so you have to be very very
- 10:09cautious and understand that you're
- 10:11probably getting into early and it's
- 10:13best to wait to see subsequent you know
- 10:17continuous bullish candles out of that
- 10:20old downtrend but the cool thing about
- 10:23marking your charts up like this
- 10:25is that you can just wait for things
- 10:27like this to happen so we had this nice
- 10:30run we had our first rejection at that
- 10:32point you see you know this is your new
- 10:36trend line so at this point any time the
- 10:38price rejects off of that trend line
- 10:40like it did right here with this trap
- 10:42you know we had that break and then the
- 10:44next candle like you know that that's
- 10:46your old trend line
- 10:48this is where you get in on a trade and
- 10:50this is a really really safe one because
- 10:52of that huge huge three-line strike you
- 10:56guys know that i like to trade the
- 10:57three-line strike a lot and at that
- 10:59point it's just below you know you can
- 11:01keep your stop-loss just below the
- 11:03bottom of that candle and go for one to
- 11:05two so these types of things having
- 11:07trend lines already up and then while
- 11:09you get on the charts and you check out
- 11:10price action and you see like okay cool
- 11:13it's getting to my trend line let's look
- 11:15for trend continuation trades if i
- 11:17haven't seen a good divergence here i
- 11:19don't know for sure but let's just check
- 11:21the rsi to see if there was a hidden
- 11:23bullish divergence here look at this
- 11:25we had our
- 11:27you know our low and then our higher low
- 11:30right
- 11:31and then on the rsi we had a low
- 11:35and a lower low that right there
- 11:38is a hidden bullish divergence so at
- 11:40that close of this candle i literally
- 11:43yeah this is a money trade right here
- 11:45and you had already known that because
- 11:47you had drawn your trend line once it
- 11:49rejected off of here so say
- 11:52i don't know price action where's that
- 11:54replay button boom you know you see this
- 11:57and this is where you've already drawn
- 11:59your trend line
- 12:00because you you have this low point and
- 12:02you have this higher low so you've
- 12:04already drawn your trend line and you're
- 12:06watching you know price action you know
- 12:08while you're trading or whatever on the
- 12:1015-minute time frame and you see price
- 12:12coming down to your trend line and
- 12:14you're just you're just sitting there
- 12:15and you're waiting
- 12:16and then you get that break
- 12:18and then the next bullish one and you're
- 12:20like okay i'm golden it's
- 12:23this is why it's always good to have
- 12:25markups on a naked chart apologies about

- 12:37under the weather and i'm coming down
- 12:39with it but like i said trend lines
- 12:41price action divergences their money in
- 12:45the bank but if you couple this
- 12:48with support and resistance zones like
- 12:50those big ones
