  13. 0:32profitable on a consistent basis like
  14. 0:35you guys have probably seen in some of
  15. 0:36my live streams i like to start out my
  16. 0:39day with a fresh perspective absolutely
  17. 0:41no indicators just looking at the charts
  18. 0:44so that i can get a good idea of what's
  19. 0:46going on in the market without all the
  20. 0:48noise and distractions indicators are
  21. 0:50there to supplement your knowledge
  22. 0:52not to predicate your decisions i'm
  23. 0:54really gonna try to keep this video
  24. 0:56under five minutes so let's get into the
  25. 0:58charts alright so we're looking at us 30
  26. 1:00right here on a 15 minute time frame and
  27. 1:03what i like about us 30 and other
  28. 1:06indices is that they trend very very
  29. 1:10very well like you can see these long
  30. 1:12periods of down price action long
  31. 1:16periods of up price action long periods
  32. 1:19of consolidation
  33. 1:20all of this just makes me extremely
  34. 1:23happy and it's it's basically a puzzle
  35. 1:26to me so
  36. 1:27what i like to do when i see this you
  37. 1:29guys know about my support and
  38. 1:30resistance levels but i'm gonna
  39. 1:32completely not do that i'm gonna try not
  40. 1:34to do that in this video and just talk
  41. 1:37about price action and how you can draw
  42. 1:40up trend lines
  43. 1:41then looking for the divergences at the
  44. 1:44overbought and oversold areas not
  45. 1:47definitive points just those areas all
  46. 1:49right give me a few seconds to mark this
  47. 1:51up and then we'll get back to it
  48. 1:56okay this is not zooming in whatsoever i
  49. 1:59just drew up general areas of resistance
  50. 2:03that i saw where the price rejected
  51. 2:05consistently as many points as i can
  52. 2:08connect the dots with this can be
  53. 2:10fine-tuned once you zoom in but doing
  54. 2:12this type of markup on your charts and
  55. 2:15then looking for divergences like
  56. 2:19just without even putting up an rsi
  57. 2:21right here i'm pretty sure that this low
  58. 2:24and this low created a divergence so
  59. 2:26let's pop up an rsi indicator on here
  60. 2:30and just just take a look at what it
  61. 2:33does unfortunately unfortunately trading
  62. 2:35view won't let me have my divergence
  63. 2:38indicator like publicly available so i
  64. 2:41don't know i'll probably just like make
  65. 2:42the script available in the telegram
  66. 2:44group or something but you guys know how
  67. 2:46i change my settings we're going to go
  68. 2:48yellow remove the upper band and the
  69. 2:50lower band middle band is going to be
  70. 2:52solid
  71. 2:53and the background is going to go away
  72. 2:55make this line just a little bit fatter
  73. 2:58i think
  74. 3:00now we'll keep it thin
  75. 3:02and we're gonna look at this point
  76. 3:05draw a vertical line
  77. 3:07and this point draw a vertical line
  78. 3:10right so sure as
  79. 3:13we have a price action made a lower low
  80. 3:16right but if you look at the rsi
  81. 3:22we made
  82. 3:24a higher low and it's like a clear and
  83. 3:27concise divergence you can obviously see
  84. 3:31that that's making a higher low so now
  85. 3:33that you know that information and you
  86. 3:36take this trend line and you make it
  87. 3:38more just a little bit more precise you
  88. 3:40know we take that top part we get where
  89. 3:43all the price rejected you see these
  90. 3:45like small breakouts if you don't know
  91. 3:47how to avoid these please
  92. 3:49please for the love of god watch my
  93. 3:51video that i did to avoid false
  94. 3:54breakouts but you know you see this
  95. 3:56price continue to go down continue to go
  96. 3:58down and then you see this like you know
  97. 4:01opening bell type of mess right here
  98. 4:03like say you didn't you weren't trading
  99. 4:05this and you just saw you know this
  100. 4:07trend line so i'm gonna have to explain
  101. 4:09why why because with false breakouts
  102. 4:13right so you you break out of the trend
  103. 4:16line and then the next candle comes back
  104. 4:19in so you want like to wait until you
  105. 4:22know that candle has
  106. 4:23like you know not done that and also you
  107. 4:26want a divergence at the same time so so
  108. 4:30when looking at like a break and re-test
  109. 4:32with the divergence these are the things
  110. 4:34that you need to look out for because
  111. 4:37you're basically looking for a trend
  112. 4:38reversal trade at this point which is
  113. 4:41very risky and it's easier to trade with
  114. 4:43the trend as you guys know from all of
  115. 4:45my videos begging you to trade with the
  116. 4:48trend but this is a trend reversal this
  117. 4:50one wouldn't even be an option because
  118. 4:52we're having basically the same point on
  119. 4:55all of these not really lower lows yes
  120. 4:57the rsi is making higher lows but that's
  121. 5:00not a definitive divergence like you
  122. 5:01want to see a nice big fat you know
  123. 5:05angle and then you get this engulfing
  124. 5:07candle it continues down makes this low
  125. 5:09but then we had a breakout right here
  126. 5:11and it it broke out and then the next
  127. 5:13candle went down that's the thing you
  128. 5:15need to look out for
  129. 5:16this is where you need to be very very
  130. 5:18cautious you already had your first
  131. 5:20warning right here that this is a
  132. 5:21possibility so i would be very cautious
  133. 5:24on breaks and retests right here
  134. 5:26this one would have been attractive to
  135. 5:28me but i would have watched to see what
  136. 5:31happened with this next candle then we
  137. 5:33got this huge one and it's like okay i
  138. 5:35know that there is like liquidity here
  139. 5:37and they want to get as much as possible
  140. 5:40so once you see things like this you
  141. 5:43need to keep an eye out for the trap
  142. 5:45these are all traps trying to bring
  143. 5:48people back in draw the price down a
  144. 5:49little bit more
  145. 5:50and then we got this definitive
  146. 5:52divergence right here at this point you
  147. 5:54know you're still looking out for the
  148. 5:56traps it happened here again
  149. 5:59and then at this point right here where
  150. 6:01this next candle did not break below
  151. 6:04that trend line this would have been a
  152. 6:06nice indication for me like okay now we
  153. 6:09can think about taking long positions so
  154. 6:12even if i did take it there at the close
  155. 6:14of that candle and i know there's a lot
  156. 6:16of people that like to put their stop
  157. 6:18loss below the swing low but when you
  158. 6:20see huge candles like this it's it's not
  159. 6:24it's not intelligent to have a 230
  160. 6:27point stop loss on us 30. so what i
  161. 6:30would do is just go to the bottom of
  162. 6:32that candle that signified the actual
  163. 6:34break out of that trend line that's
  164. 6:37still a huge stop loss but when looking
  165. 6:39for a trend reversal trade
  166. 6:42that's gonna have your biggest benefit
  167. 6:44because you're getting the bottom of
  168. 6:45that move and you can actually ride that
  169. 6:48wave up quite high so this i mean
  170. 6:50definitely would have scared the piss
  171. 6:52out of me but only risking one percent
  172. 6:54you know i would have been fine with the
  173. 6:56loss if it did happen knowing how much
  174. 6:58manipulation was happening here and all
  175. 7:01of these like stop hunts to grab
  176. 7:03liquidity but it didn't hit the stop
  177. 7:05loss which is nice and then you just do
  178. 7:07like you know a one to five if you're
  179. 7:09skittish or a one to two risk to reward
  180. 7:11ratio you know and once it broke out of
  181. 7:13that range like you see that that second
  182. 7:16rejection you feel more comfortable with
  183. 7:18your trade and it obviously worked out
  184. 7:20really well but once that happens you
  185. 7:22need to see like where's the new trend
  186. 7:24line forming and you you know you can
  187. 7:26take it from the bodies or the wicks you
  188. 7:28know it's it's all subjective i like wix
  189. 7:30sometimes
  190. 7:31because i know that at one point that
  191. 7:33was an entire solid candle so you know
  192. 7:36you take it off the wicks and you you
  193. 7:38start drawing this new trend line and
  194. 7:39you can adjust it depending on like if
  195. 7:41it's literally vertical skyrocketing you
  196. 7:43know
  197. 7:44whatever
  198. 7:45and you just rock that and then because
  199. 7:47this is the new trend you know you you
  200. 7:49see it kind of like losing momentum but
  201. 7:51it's coming down to this trend line
  202. 7:53again so at this point you know i would
  203. 7:55be looking for a rejection off of that
  204. 7:58because i haven't seen any divergences
  205. 8:00here on the rsi so like i said again
  206. 8:03price action is king when you can just
  207. 8:05follow price
  208. 8:06make good trend lines and make the
  209. 8:08decision and avoid these traps like know
  210. 8:11that the traps are always there this is
  211. 8:14why 95 percent of day traders fail is
  212. 8:16because they fall for these traps you
  213. 8:19have to deploy patience it's the most
  214. 8:22important thing you don't want like the
  215. 8:24one candle to break a trend line because
  216. 8:26the next one
  217. 8:28most likely is going to go the opposite
  218. 8:30direction you always want that break and
  219. 8:32re-test and if you see a lot of noise
  220. 8:35like this where it's just like whip
  221. 8:36sawing back and forth you need to be
  222. 8:38extremely cautious and know that there
  223. 8:41is a chance that you're going to be
  224. 8:43stuck in a position like this like
  225. 8:45honestly this could have consolidated
  226. 8:47here for a few days now one thing i'd
  227. 8:49like to discuss about divergences is
  228. 8:52that a lot of people are like taking
  229. 8:54divergences at like the 60 or you know
  230. 8:5765 level or on the bottom side you know
  231. 9:01say 40 45 and it's like it's not it's
  232. 9:05not what it's meant to do a divergence
  233. 9:07you want it to get to that typical rsi
  234. 9:09oversold the 70 and 30 levels and or
  235. 9:13above so you know if the rsi hit the 90
  236. 9:16level
  237. 9:17and then you know price continues up but
  238. 9:19then the rsi is going down that's the
  239. 9:21area that you want to focus on so
  240. 9:23anything
  241. 9:24higher than 70 or lower than 30 like we
  242. 9:28hit here we got a 23.5
  243. 9:32on the rsi so once that happens you
  244. 9:35don't want to immediately get in for a
  245. 9:37buy what you'd like to do is wait for
  246. 9:39the divergence and see if it makes like
  247. 9:41a substantial divergence which it did
  248. 9:43right here it went from the 23 all the
  249. 9:46way up to the 40
  250. 9:48while creating that lower low and those
  251. 9:50are the things that you really want to
  252. 9:52take advantage of you want to see that
  253. 9:54divergence you want to track your trend
  254. 9:56line and watch that break and re-test
  255. 9:59and then get in on your trade but know
  256. 10:01that that is the most risky area trend
  257. 10:04reversal trades are extremely extremely
  258. 10:06risky so you have to be very very
  259. 10:09cautious and understand that you're
  260. 10:11probably getting into early and it's
  261. 10:13best to wait to see subsequent you know
  262. 10:17continuous bullish candles out of that
  263. 10:20old downtrend but the cool thing about
  264. 10:23marking your charts up like this
  265. 10:25is that you can just wait for things
  266. 10:27like this to happen so we had this nice
  267. 10:30run we had our first rejection at that
  268. 10:32point you see you know this is your new
  269. 10:36trend line so at this point any time the
  270. 10:38price rejects off of that trend line
  271. 10:40like it did right here with this trap
  272. 10:42you know we had that break and then the
  273. 10:44next candle like you know that that's
  274. 10:46your old trend line
  275. 10:48this is where you get in on a trade and
  276. 10:50this is a really really safe one because
  277. 10:52of that huge huge three-line strike you
  278. 10:56guys know that i like to trade the
  279. 10:57three-line strike a lot and at that
  280. 10:59point it's just below you know you can
  281. 11:01keep your stop-loss just below the
  282. 11:03bottom of that candle and go for one to
  283. 11:05two so these types of things having
  284. 11:07trend lines already up and then while
  285. 11:09you get on the charts and you check out
  286. 11:10price action and you see like okay cool
  287. 11:13it's getting to my trend line let's look
  288. 11:15for trend continuation trades if i
  289. 11:17haven't seen a good divergence here i
  290. 11:19don't know for sure but let's just check
  291. 11:21the rsi to see if there was a hidden
  292. 11:23bullish divergence here look at this
  293. 11:25we had our
  294. 11:27you know our low and then our higher low
  295. 11:30right
  296. 11:31and then on the rsi we had a low
  297. 11:35and a lower low that right there
  298. 11:38is a hidden bullish divergence so at
  299. 11:40that close of this candle i literally
  300. 11:43yeah this is a money trade right here
  301. 11:45and you had already known that because
  302. 11:47you had drawn your trend line once it
  303. 11:49rejected off of here so say
  304. 11:52i don't know price action where's that
  305. 11:54replay button boom you know you see this
  306. 11:57and this is where you've already drawn
  307. 11:59your trend line
  308. 12:00because you you have this low point and
  309. 12:02you have this higher low so you've
  310. 12:04already drawn your trend line and you're
  311. 12:06watching you know price action you know
  312. 12:08while you're trading or whatever on the
  313. 12:1015-minute time frame and you see price
  314. 12:12coming down to your trend line and
  315. 12:14you're just you're just sitting there
  316. 12:15and you're waiting
  317. 12:16and then you get that break
  318. 12:18and then the next bullish one and you're
  319. 12:20like okay i'm golden it's
  320. 12:23this is why it's always good to have
  321. 12:25markups on a naked chart apologies about
  322. 12:28my low energy level um huge climate
  323. 12:31difference between the canary islands
  324. 12:33and like
  325. 12:34mucky rainy poland so i'm a little bit
  326. 12:37under the weather and i'm coming down
  327. 12:39with it but like i said trend lines
  328. 12:41price action divergences their money in
  329. 12:45the bank but if you couple this
  330. 12:48with support and resistance zones like
  331. 12:50those big ones
  332. 12:52look at look at what you're getting here
  333. 12:54you know you're getting
  334. 12:57levels and once price hits these levels
  335. 13:00and rejects off of it dude it's price
  336. 13:02action price action naked trading if you
