- 0:23so after posting the video of how i
- 0:25scalped the markets
- 0:27right here i also posted testimonials in
- 0:30our discord group of trades that i've
- 0:32actually taken using this strategy
- 0:34from that i got a lot of dms asking hey
- 0:37why was that your entry point and then i
- 0:39realized i forgot to cover one crucial
- 0:41thing and that is rsi divergence
- 0:44so let's jump into the charts and i'm
- 0:46going to show you how to find
- 0:47an rsi divergence and how to trade off
- 0:49of it so the trade in particular
- 0:51that i did was on us 30. i did two
- 0:55trades it looked like this
- 0:57basically the previous night it was just
- 0:59like cascading down and down and down
- 1:02and i managed to scalp that as well
- 1:04because going with the trend is
- 1:06extremely easy so just like scalping
- 1:08these moves down and taking little
- 1:10profits here and there it's like
- 1:12mindless work this is so easy to make
- 1:15money off of
- 1:16but then after it started losing
- 1:18momentum i was like
- 1:19cool i'm looking for a divergence so
- 1:21let's put some moving averages up here
- 1:23first we're gonna do
- 1:24the 50 and the 200. let's just do the 21
- 1:27for good measure for me it was late at
- 1:29night the market was just dumping down
- 1:31dumping down trading below the 21 and i
- 1:33just like at any point here you could
- 1:35have gotten in a short position for any
- 1:37amount of time
- 1:38and gone into profit for like two hours
- 1:41if you guys don't know how to trade
- 1:42momentum
- 1:42watch this video but here at the bottom
- 1:45this is where it got interesting
- 1:46we started to consolidate and i was like
- 1:48cool we're losing momentum
- 1:50what happens when you lose momentum the
- 1:52price tends to go the
- 1:54opposite direction so let us pull up an
- 1:56rsi
- 1:58so to get the rsi on your charts click
- 2:00the indicator button up here at the top
- 2:01type in
- 2:02rsi it's in the built-ins called
- 2:04relative strength index
- 2:05your rsi will look like this what you
- 2:08need to do
- 2:09is change the settings so right here on
- 2:11the bottom just click the little
- 2:12settings wheel
- 2:13change the rsi color to yellow in
- 2:16accordance with the color theme of this
- 2:18channel
- 2:18you're going to change the upper band to
- 2:2050 and
- 2:22the lower band 250 you're gonna get rid
- 2:25of the background because
- 2:26it is useless and that's what your rsi
- 2:29should look like
- 2:30if you don't know why go watch this
- 2:32video so as you can see
- 2:34the price was moving down and down and
- 2:36down and down and down and down
- 2:37eventually when it started to lose
- 2:39momentum guess where my eyes always go
- 2:41to the rsi right here we are creating
- 2:45lower lows consistently
- 2:49lower lows and lower highs means
- 2:52a clear and concise downtrend this is
- 2:55showing everybody
- 2:56market structure what is a divergence a
- 2:58divergence is when
- 3:00two things that should be going in the
- 3:02same direction
- 3:04or look the same don't so looking at the
- 3:07rsi right here
- 3:09we start seeing higher lows
- 3:12consistently time and time again
- 3:16now just looking at it right here
- 3:19this and this was a divergence
- 3:23but it is not the divergence that you
- 3:25want to trade off of
- 3:26yes we are creating a higher low on the
- 3:29rsi
- 3:30and creating a lower low on the price
- 3:32action but the price
- 3:33still continued to go down i like to
- 3:35wait until the rsi divergence
- 3:38is extremely clear like look at this a
- 3:41low
- 3:42a higher low a higher low a higher low a
- 3:44higher low
- 3:45then we break above the 50 level when
- 3:48the rsi is above the 50 level
- 3:51that's showing bullish momentum that
- 3:54means it's no longer bearish
- 3:55it came down one more time just to
- 3:57with people and that's
- 3:59when i saw this like nice sloping upward
- 4:02and i was like cool i'm getting in right
- 4:04here
- 4:04and sure as skippy i made a trade
- 4:08at 32 372
- 4:11so right here almost the exact
- 4:14bottom i was thoroughly impressed on
- 4:16this and then
- 4:17as the price started to go in my
- 4:19direction
- 4:20came down and we got this big long
- 4:23rejection wick
- 4:24i got in on another position at 32
- 4:27417 so right about there
- 4:30now this is on a one minute chart if you
- 4:33guys have not noticed yet
- 4:34and i don't suggest everybody trade on
- 4:38the one minute chart it's super volatile
- 4:40and
- 4:40nine times out of ten you'll get stopped
- 4:42out but i know what i'm looking for and
- 4:45i was looking
- 4:45at higher time frames so if we take
- 4:49this out to a 15 minute chart
- 4:52i'm gonna make a box here
- 4:55so that we know what we were looking at
- 4:57because i don't want it to get lost
- 4:58and this is that same price action on a
- 5:0115 minute time frame
- 5:02you can see how massively far away we
- 5:05were from these moving averages
- 5:07and what does price like to do price
- 5:09likes to go back to moving averages when
- 5:11it's over
- 5:11extended so i saw i did all of my
- 5:14analysis
- 5:16on the 15 minute and then to find my
- 5:18sniper entry
- 5:20i got down to the one minute so i had
- 5:22previously marked up my levels of where
- 5:24that previous moving average was
- 5:26and i actually just took it up to the 21
- 5:29day moving average
- 5:30which was just around 32 500
- 5:34and so i know that with even numbers
- 5:38market likes to hesitate so i did it two
- 5:41dollars below
- 5:42took my money and walked away so two
- 5:44trades
- 5:45very small lot size .02 on us 30.
- 5:48one trade was 251 dollars and the other
- 5:51one was 161 dollars
- 5:53getting me 400 while i slept because
- 5:56that was at market close so i woke up
- 5:59and i had the money now you might be
- 6:00saying to yourself artie why didn't you
- 6:02hold that you could have made so much
- 6:03more because
- 6:04right after that it went to 32 798
- 6:08i could have made thousands of dollars
- 6:10yeah i could have
- 6:11but that's not my strategy i was in it
- 6:13for a scalp
- 6:14i wanted a quick move take my money walk
- 6:17away
- 6:18i had no idea this massive spike and
- 6:20rally was going to go
- 6:21above the 200 moving average but i knew
- 6:24that the price was going to retrace
- 6:25to the 21 day moving average so yeah
- 6:28super simple that's how to spot
- 6:29an rsi divergence like if the rsi is
- 6:32going
- 6:32up but the price action's going down
- 6:35that means it's eventually
- 6:37gonna so if you've watched this long
- 6:39guess what
- 6:40you like the video so make sure you
- 6:42leave a big fat thumbs up
- 6:43down below me below my face there's a
- 6:46big
