- 0:00welcome ladies and gentlemen to the
- 0:01advanced Market structure video now
- 0:04we're going to get started right away
- 0:06this chart that you have in front of you
- 0:07right now very clearly you can tell that
- 0:09this is
- 0:10gbpnzd and that we are currently on the
- 0:134-Hour time frame and the market
- 0:14structure that you have in front of you
- 0:16is indicating to you that this Market is
- 0:18bearish but as soon as I snap my fingers
- 0:21my editors have just zoomed in to only
- 0:24the chart and now I can flicker down a
- 0:27couple pairs and now you no longer know
- 0:30know what Market this is or what time
- 0:32frame we are on all that you do see is
- 0:35that you have Market structure in front
- 0:37of you so it does not matter what
- 0:40currency pair you have what stock pair
- 0:42you have what crypto markets in front of
- 0:44you binaries anything that has a chart
- 0:48has Market structure you can't tell what
- 0:50Market this is and you can't tell what
- 0:52time frame this is what you could tell
- 0:55is that this Market is bullish or
- 0:57bearish Market structure is Absolut
- 0:59absolutely everything in the market and
- 1:01in this video I'm going to be explaining
- 1:03to you the advanced way on how to look
- 1:04at Market structure and not care about
- 1:07the time frame and not care about the
- 1:09markets behind the market structure
- 1:12welcome to the advanced Market structure
- 1:14video oh and by the way this Market is
- 1:17audusd and it's on the 4our I can go
- 1:20back in and I can change a couple
- 1:22different pairs and I can change to a
- 1:23different time frame and I can snap my
- 1:25fingers again and we're add a new
- 1:27currency pair and now here you can't
- 1:29tell if we're on the higher time frame
- 1:31or what pair we on and this is actually
- 1:34nzdusd on the 15-minute time frame
- 1:37Market structure is key everything else
- 1:39does not matter so let's begin with the
- 1:41most important thing when identifying
- 1:43Market structure which is going to be
- 1:46higher highs and higher lows if a market
- 1:48is bullish a market is consisted of
- 1:51higher highs and higher lows it is
- 1:54impossible and I I cannot stress this as
- 1:58much as I wish I can it is is impossible
- 2:00to have a bullish Market without a
- 2:03higher high or a higher low a higher
- 2:06high tends to be the highest points of
- 2:08where that current market structure is
- 2:10and the last higher low is the last
- 2:14higher low not the highest low or the
- 2:17most low low I don't know why people
- 2:19confuse this and this is a advanced
- 2:22video so I want you guys to understand
- 2:24the importance of reading this correctly
- 2:26because it's going to be a lot easier
- 2:27for you to enter trades and capital ize
- 2:30off of them in the future so we know
- 2:32that this is the higher high and this is
- 2:33the higher low the market will remain
- 2:35bullish as long as we stay in between
- 2:38this higher high and higher low the
- 2:41moment we body close above or under this
- 2:45line is when we will have a shift in the
- 2:47market if we close Above This higher
- 2:50high that means we've created a new
- 2:52higher high and the higher low has to be
- 2:56the last higher low the simplest way of
- 2:58reading that is going to the highest
- 3:01point and I like using my snake trick
- 3:04where I simply get this body of the
- 3:06snake and at the moment that the snake
- 3:08has a sharp turn that is the most higher
- 3:12low a snake when it wants to move in a
- 3:16different direction it goes and then it
- 3:18turns and then it turns and then it
- 3:20turns the market when it wants to move
- 3:22in a different direction it turns as
- 3:24well so this is the market turning from
- 3:28being this high higher low to then this
- 3:32higher low and once again as long as the
- 3:35market stays in between this higher high
- 3:39and this higher low the market will be
- 3:42bullish now we can get as close as we
- 3:45can as we did to this point right here
- 3:47and we still would be bullish remember
- 3:50we are only shifting Market if we body
- 3:54Candlestick close above or if we close
- 3:57under if I take this to the chart for
- 4:00example let's say that this would be the
- 4:02higher high right here and that this
- 4:05would be the higher low right here this
- 4:08is the head of the snake at this point
- 4:10right here the snake goes it turned then
- 4:14it keeps going down this is the higher
- 4:16low we do not place the higher high or
- 4:20higher low at the Wicks of a certain
- 4:22move or at the Wicks of a certain move
- 4:26higher highs and higher lows are placed
- 4:27at the bodies of the candlestick because
- 4:30this is where the market structure is if
- 4:33I were to come into here and I would
- 4:34erase the candlesticks and go to the
- 4:36line chart you can see that the
- 4:38structure is at this higher low and at
- 4:42this higher high if we go back to the
- 4:44candlesticks you can see that the Wicks
- 4:46are just the trail of where the market
- 4:49went but it's not the actual Market
- 4:51structure so once again it is impossible
- 4:54to have a bullish Market without a
- 4:56higher high or a higher low the market
- 4:59will remain bullish as long as we stay
- 5:02in between the higher high and higher
- 5:05low the moment we body close above we
- 5:08have then created a new higher high and
- 5:11we must have a new higher low once we
- 5:15have a new higher high it is impossible
- 5:19to have a new higher high without a new
- 5:22higher low and as long as we don't body
- 5:23close above either one of these lines
- 5:26this Market will remain bullish until we
- 5:28close above or we close under and that
- 5:31is one of the main issues with Traders
- 5:33nowadays because they just pull up to a
- 5:35chart and because they see the overall
- 5:37movement heading up or the overall
- 5:39movement heading down they think a
- 5:41market is bullish or a market is bearish
- 5:44and that cannot be further from the
- 5:45truth this is one of the biggest
- 5:47mistakes that Traders make and say they
- 5:49are not analyzing the market structure
- 5:51correctly they are not analyzing the
- 5:53trend of the market correctly the
- 5:55simplest example that I can leave of
- 5:57this is let's say that you you are
- 6:00hunting and a hunter in order for it to
- 6:03catch its prey they follow footsteps or
- 6:06the tracks of an animal if you aren't
- 6:08reading correctly the tracks of an
- 6:11animal if it's going in one direction or
- 6:14if it was coming towards this direction
- 6:16you can completely be walking the
- 6:19opposite way of where the animal is
- 6:21going and this is exactly what people do
- 6:24when they analyze the markets
- 6:25incorrectly they can assume that they're
- 6:28reading it correctly but are actually
- 6:29doing the complete opposite and just
- 6:31digging themselves in a deeper hole and
- 6:34this right here is a perfect example up
- 6:36to every single example that I have just
- 6:38showing you guys right now this Market
- 6:39was bullish until we body Candlestick
- 6:43closed under this higher low if you're a
- 6:45begin a Trader and I show you this chart
- 6:47like this you'll probably say that this
- 6:49Market is bullish because you would look
- 6:50at it and you would take an assumption
- 6:52that overall this is bullish because
- 6:55it's just heading to the upside but that
- 6:57cannot be further from the truth why
- 7:00because this once upon a time was the
- 7:03higher high and then this was the higher
- 7:06low the fact that the market has now
- 7:08body Candlestick close under this area
- 7:11means that this Market is now bearish we
- 7:13have shifted the market structure from
- 7:16being bullish to bearish so so has the
- 7:19trend the trend is identified by the
- 7:22market structure without Market
- 7:24structure you cannot identify the trend
- 7:27without Footprints or tracks when you go
- 7:30hunting you cannot tell if there's an
- 7:32animal there and where it is going it is
- 7:35absolutely impossible is absolutely
- 7:38impossible to tell this is bullish
- 7:39bearish without the market structure so
- 7:42since this has now created a new lower
- 7:44low this becomes the new lower low and
- 7:48you must need a new lower high it is
- 7:53impossible to have a new lower low
- 7:56without a new lower high so if we were
- 7:59to implement the exact same snake trick
- 8:01you get the head of the snake right here
- 8:03you follow the body here and as soon as
- 8:06the movement turns this now becomes the
- 8:10new lower high that is where the snake
- 8:12has shifted that is the last lower high
- 8:15that the market has left now exactly the
- 8:18same as when the market was bullish this
- 8:21Market can do absolutely whatever it
- 8:23wants inside of here as long as we don't
- 8:25body Candlestick close above or below
- 8:29the lower high or lower low we will
- 8:31remain bearish if we decide from this
- 8:35point right here to then do this we have
- 8:38created a new lower low meaning we must
- 8:42need a new lower high and a new lower
- 8:45high is identified by getting the head
- 8:47of the snake following it back and as
- 8:50soon as you get the turn that is where
- 8:52the new lower high is placed it is very
- 8:55easy and very straightforward now same
- 8:58exact thing happens the the moment the
- 8:59body Candlestick closes above we have
- 9:03now shifted and now this is a new higher
- 9:05high this becomes a higher high it is
- 9:08impossible to have a higher high without
- 9:10a higher low so then this higher low
- 9:13will then shift to then this new point
- 9:17right here this is the simplest and most
- 9:20advanced version of Market structure
- 9:23just to identify what the market is
- 9:25doing because a somewhat experienced
- 9:28Trader that still hasn't figured it out
- 9:30just yet can look at this market and be
- 9:32like oh this Market is in consolidation
- 9:36this Market is choppy it's an a ranging
- 9:38Market sure it could be an a ranging
- 9:41Market but inside of a ranging Market
- 9:44there is Market structure now what is
- 9:47the market structure doing is the market
- 9:49structure bullish or is the market
- 9:51structure bearish it does not matter if
- 9:53it is even a market structure that is as
- 9:56tight as this one right here it can be
- 9:58in the most choppy movement that you
- 10:01have ever seen in your life where it is
- 10:03in the exact same spot for weeks months
- 10:07years it can be in the exact same spot
- 10:09forever but there is Market structure
- 10:13inside of this consolidation move right
- 10:16here and I want to test you I want to
- 10:18see if you've been paying attention up
- 10:21to this point right now pause the video
- 10:23and tell me inside of that consolidation
- 10:26is this Market bullish or is this Market
- 10:29bearish and you know what to make it a
- 10:31little bit easier I've decided to make
- 10:32it a little bit bigger so you can go
- 10:33ahead and take your time and not make a
- 10:35mistake pay attention to what I just
- 10:37said now that you have your answer I
- 10:39want you to know exactly why you have
- 10:41your answer you might be correct or you
- 10:43might be incorrect but I want you to
- 10:45know exactly why you're correct or
- 10:47exactly why you're incorrect this Market
- 10:49started off as creating a higher high
- 10:53and this point down here was then the
- 10:56higher low as long as we remain above or
- 10:59under the higher low we will then
- 11:02continue to be bullish the market body
- 11:05Candlestick closed at that very point
- 11:08right there yes something as small as
- 11:10that counts as a shift of structure
- 11:13because the market simply did shift
- 11:16structure so then this becomes the new
- 11:18higher low this low point right here
- 11:20that closed under this line then we need
- 11:25a new lower high it is impossible to
- 11:27have a lower low without a lower high we
- 11:29get the head of the snake and then we
- 11:31follow it up where does it turn right
- 11:34here this is the snake trick and that is
- 11:37the new lower high cool as long as we
- 11:41remain above or under these lines we
- 11:43will remain bearish we body Candlestick
- 11:45closed above at this very point right
- 11:48here where then is has shifted to then
- 11:52being bullish this is the new higher
- 11:54high we do the snake trick this becomes
- 11:57the new higher low at this point point
- 11:59right here we shifted bearish once again
- 12:02here now that we've shifted bearish we
- 12:04do the snake trick it turns and this
- 12:06becomes the lower high this becomes a
- 12:09new higher high so on and so forth this
- 12:11becomes a new higher high after this
- 12:13point the market did not shift up into
- 12:16this point this becomes a new higher
- 12:18high and then this becomes the higher
- 12:21low body candle stick close under this
- 12:25now shifts bearish this is now the head
- 12:28of the snake and if we follow the body
- 12:30of the snake this is where it turned so
- 12:32this becomes the lower high and this
- 12:35Market structure as of right now in this
- 12:38ranging Market is bearish so if you
- 12:41answered this correctly make sure you
- 12:43know exactly how you did it correctly if
- 12:45you answered it correctly and you didn't
- 12:47do it like this you simply answered it
- 12:50correctly without knowing how to analyze
- 12:52the market correctly so make sure you
- 12:54write down these notes because it's so
- 12:56important to executing trades and making
- 12:58money so now that you understand that to
- 13:00Perfection because it is very simple I
- 13:02want to ask you once again another quiz
- 13:04is this Market bullish or is this market
- 13:07bearish now pause the video line it up
- 13:10and why do you think it's bullish why do
- 13:12you think it's bearish place your lower
- 13:13high your lower low your higher high and
- 13:15higher low make a mistake cuz I'm going
- 13:17to be right here to fix it for you live
- 13:19go ahead pause the video so now that
- 13:21you've made a mistake probably or not if
- 13:23you were paying attention in the last
- 13:24couple of minutes this Market currently
- 13:27started off creating a lower low lower
- 13:31high lower low lower high lower low
- 13:35lower high lower low lower high and
- 13:40lower low this is how this Market would
- 13:42have looked if I would have presented it
- 13:44to you on the line chart this is how I
- 13:46see this Market in the Candlestick chart
- 13:50this Market is inde the bearish and this
- 13:53point right here is the lower high and
- 13:56this point right here is now the lower
- 13:59low it is very simple very straight to
- 14:02the point until this Market does not
- 14:05body Candlestick close above this point
- 14:08or this point there will be no shift in
- 14:11structure in this market same exact
- 14:13thing right here this is the lower high
- 14:16this is the lower low so the market does
- 14:18not buy the Candlestick close above or
- 14:20under there is no shift in this market
- 14:23this Market will remain bearish into
- 14:25that very point and you want to know the
- 14:27craziest part that you didn't even know
- 14:29what time frame this was on you can't
- 14:32tell if this is on the daily if this is
- 14:34on the weekly or if this is on the one
- 14:36minute you want to know the best part
- 14:39you will never know and I wanted you
- 14:41guys to identify that market for what
- 14:43the market is not because it's a crypto
- 14:46and the crypto's down or because it's a
- 14:48stock and the stock is strong or because
- 14:50it's a currency pair and one pair is
- 14:52stronger than the other that does not
- 14:54matter when you're reading Market
- 14:55structure when you're reading Market
- 14:56structure you're reading Market
- 14:58structure and that is is it now we are
- 15:00on to the next Quiz once again pause
- 15:02this video is this Market bullish or is
- 15:05this Market bearish Place your higher
- 15:07highs and place your higher lows or your
- 15:10lower highs and lower lows so now that
- 15:12you have placed your higher highs and
- 15:13higher lows let's see if you're correct
- 15:15this Market currently at this very
- 15:18moment started off creating a lower low
- 15:22lower high lower
- 15:25low higher high higher low high higher
- 15:29high and now we have a lower low this
- 15:33Market went from creating bullish
- 15:35structure to now shifting to bearish
- 15:38structure this was the higher low at one
- 15:42point and this was the higher high at
- 15:46another the moment the Candlestick close
- 15:48under this has now shifted to being the
- 15:51lower low and this has now shifted to
- 15:54being the lower high reading Market
- 15:56structure is so essential to
- 15:59understanding what the market is going
- 16:01to be doing so you can make an execution
- 16:03on a trade and make money the best
- 16:05example that I can put of this is let's
- 16:08say an experienced Hunter an experienced
- 16:10Hunter they're going to be able to see
- 16:12the track of an animal identify what
- 16:16type of animal it is if it's a male or a
- 16:19female and if that animal is heading to
- 16:22the North heading to the east heading
- 16:24down to rever to drink water whatever
- 16:26the case is this is what we are looking
- 16:29at right here we are looking at the
- 16:31tracks of the market we're able to
- 16:34identify is this Market going to the
- 16:36upside is this Market going to the
- 16:38downside the different types of time
- 16:41frames let us know the details of the
- 16:44movement but it's the exact same
- 16:46movement a hunter can look at a track
- 16:48and if he looks at it with his vision if
- 16:51he puts on glasses gets a microscope
- 16:53takes a picture scans it it's the exact
- 16:56same track it's just different ways to
- 16:58identify it so he gets a better idea
- 17:00what animal it is and what age it has
- 17:03and what direction it's headed when
- 17:05we're looking at the market when we zoom
- 17:07in into the lower time frames and go to
- 17:09the higher time frames we're looking at
- 17:11the exact same Market structure just
- 17:13more details of it so we have a better
- 17:16understanding of how much more can this
- 17:18move go how long can we have on our
- 17:22stop-loss on a takeprofit where should
- 17:24we see this going within a week within a
- 17:26month is this Market even actually going
- 17:28going to go there we're just looking at
- 17:30the same movement just in a little bit
- 17:32more detail so with reading the market
- 17:33structure correctly you're going to be
- 17:35able to understand where the market is
- 17:37headed and then there you can decide
- 17:39what you're going to do is it the right
- 17:40time to execute a trade should I wait or
- 17:43do I need something else for the market
- 17:45to happen for me to execute a trade
- 17:47perfect example is the hunter the hunter
- 17:49can see what type of track it is let's
- 17:51say he identifies that it's an elk and
- 17:53you could tell by the size of the
- 17:55footprint that it's a very big male elk
- 17:58but the elk elk is headed up a mountain
- 18:01and usually Elks when they head up a
- 18:03mountain it's to eat food but for at
- 18:05night time they come back down again I'm
- 18:08not a hunter this is just a theory but
- 18:11at that very moment of you looking at
- 18:12that track it's early in the morning
- 18:15does it make logical sense for you to go
- 18:17up that mountain behind the elk or
- 18:19should you wait till a little bit later
- 18:20in the afternoon and wait for it to come
- 18:23back down the mountain so then you can
- 18:24go and proceed your shop once the elk
- 18:27comes to you this is the exact same
- 18:29thing in the markets when you do Market
- 18:31structure and you do your top analysis
- 18:33and you understand if the market is
- 18:34bullish or bearish you can decide should
- 18:37I go and chase this market and continue
- 18:39buying with it or is the market at too
- 18:41much of a high price or too much at a
- 18:44low price and wait for a retracement so
- 18:46then I can execute the trade you
- 18:48identifying the market structure
- 18:50correctly will let you know exactly at
- 18:53what point the market is and you can
- 18:55make a decision off of that right then
- 18:58and there which the majority of the time
- 19:00is going to give you anywhere from a 60
- 19:02to 75% accuracy on every single one of
- 19:04your trades and to show you how easy
- 19:06this is let me show you so right here
- 19:08you can clearly identify that this
- 19:11Market structure at this very moment is
- 19:14bearish this Market was creating lower
- 19:16low shifted to bullish then shifted
- 19:18right back to bearish and now we have a
- 19:21lower high and a lower low making this
- 19:23market bearish now that this Market is
- 19:26bearish it is at a lower low now you can
- 19:28make a decision at this lower low should
- 19:31I sell at the lowest point this Market
- 19:34has which in turn if I were to flip this
- 19:38chart around it is should I buy at the
- 19:41highest point this Market is or should I
- 19:45wait for some type of retracement and
- 19:48when we have this retracement now I'm
- 19:50getting a better rate on the investment
- 19:53that I'm making it makes more of a
- 19:54logical sense so then I have a greater
- 19:56return that is exactly what Market
- 19:58structure does and it gives you the
- 20:00perfect entry point to doing that and I
- 20:02have this video for you right here which
- 20:04is the top down analysis video which I
- 20:06explain to the te on how to use this
- 20:09Market structure to properly do a top-
- 20:11down analysis and where and when and how
- 20:14to execute a trade so you're able to
- 20:16capitalize off of correctly reading the
- 20:19market structure Market structure is
- 20:21only 50% of the problem now how you do
