  1. 0:00welcome ladies and gentlemen to the
  2. 0:01advanced Market structure video now
  3. 0:04we're going to get started right away
  4. 0:06this chart that you have in front of you
  5. 0:07right now very clearly you can tell that
  6. 0:09this is
  7. 0:10gbpnzd and that we are currently on the
  8. 0:134-Hour time frame and the market
  9. 0:14structure that you have in front of you
  10. 0:16is indicating to you that this Market is
  11. 0:18bearish but as soon as I snap my fingers
  12. 0:21my editors have just zoomed in to only
  13. 0:24the chart and now I can flicker down a
  14. 0:27couple pairs and now you no longer know
  15. 0:30know what Market this is or what time
  16. 0:32frame we are on all that you do see is
  17. 0:35that you have Market structure in front
  18. 0:37of you so it does not matter what
  19. 0:40currency pair you have what stock pair
  20. 0:42you have what crypto markets in front of
  21. 0:44you binaries anything that has a chart
  22. 0:48has Market structure you can't tell what
  23. 0:50Market this is and you can't tell what
  24. 0:52time frame this is what you could tell
  25. 0:55is that this Market is bullish or
  26. 0:57bearish Market structure is Absolut
  27. 0:59absolutely everything in the market and
  28. 1:01in this video I'm going to be explaining
  29. 1:03to you the advanced way on how to look
  30. 1:04at Market structure and not care about
  31. 1:07the time frame and not care about the
  32. 1:09markets behind the market structure
  33. 1:12welcome to the advanced Market structure
  34. 1:14video oh and by the way this Market is
  35. 1:17audusd and it's on the 4our I can go
  36. 1:20back in and I can change a couple
  37. 1:22different pairs and I can change to a
  38. 1:23different time frame and I can snap my
  39. 1:25fingers again and we're add a new
  40. 1:27currency pair and now here you can't
  41. 1:29tell if we're on the higher time frame
  42. 1:31or what pair we on and this is actually
  43. 1:34nzdusd on the 15-minute time frame
  44. 1:37Market structure is key everything else
  45. 1:39does not matter so let's begin with the
  46. 1:41most important thing when identifying
  47. 1:43Market structure which is going to be
  48. 1:46higher highs and higher lows if a market
  49. 1:48is bullish a market is consisted of
  50. 1:51higher highs and higher lows it is
  51. 1:54impossible and I I cannot stress this as
  52. 1:58much as I wish I can it is is impossible
  53. 2:00to have a bullish Market without a
  54. 2:03higher high or a higher low a higher
  55. 2:06high tends to be the highest points of
  56. 2:08where that current market structure is
  57. 2:10and the last higher low is the last
  58. 2:14higher low not the highest low or the
  59. 2:17most low low I don't know why people
  60. 2:19confuse this and this is a advanced
  61. 2:22video so I want you guys to understand
  62. 2:24the importance of reading this correctly
  63. 2:26because it's going to be a lot easier
  64. 2:27for you to enter trades and capital ize
  65. 2:30off of them in the future so we know
  66. 2:32that this is the higher high and this is
  67. 2:33the higher low the market will remain
  68. 2:35bullish as long as we stay in between
  69. 2:38this higher high and higher low the
  70. 2:41moment we body close above or under this
  71. 2:45line is when we will have a shift in the
  72. 2:47market if we close Above This higher
  73. 2:50high that means we've created a new
  74. 2:52higher high and the higher low has to be
  75. 2:56the last higher low the simplest way of
  76. 2:58reading that is going to the highest
  77. 3:01point and I like using my snake trick
  78. 3:04where I simply get this body of the
  79. 3:06snake and at the moment that the snake
  80. 3:08has a sharp turn that is the most higher
  81. 3:12low a snake when it wants to move in a
  82. 3:16different direction it goes and then it
  83. 3:18turns and then it turns and then it
  84. 3:20turns the market when it wants to move
  85. 3:22in a different direction it turns as
  86. 3:24well so this is the market turning from
  87. 3:28being this high higher low to then this
  88. 3:32higher low and once again as long as the
  89. 3:35market stays in between this higher high
  90. 3:39and this higher low the market will be
  91. 3:42bullish now we can get as close as we
  92. 3:45can as we did to this point right here
  93. 3:47and we still would be bullish remember
  94. 3:50we are only shifting Market if we body
  95. 3:54Candlestick close above or if we close
  96. 3:57under if I take this to the chart for
  97. 4:00example let's say that this would be the
  98. 4:02higher high right here and that this
  99. 4:05would be the higher low right here this
  100. 4:08is the head of the snake at this point
  101. 4:10right here the snake goes it turned then
  102. 4:14it keeps going down this is the higher
  103. 4:16low we do not place the higher high or
  104. 4:20higher low at the Wicks of a certain
  105. 4:22move or at the Wicks of a certain move
  106. 4:26higher highs and higher lows are placed
  107. 4:27at the bodies of the candlestick because
  108. 4:30this is where the market structure is if
  109. 4:33I were to come into here and I would
  110. 4:34erase the candlesticks and go to the
  111. 4:36line chart you can see that the
  112. 4:38structure is at this higher low and at
  113. 4:42this higher high if we go back to the
  114. 4:44candlesticks you can see that the Wicks
  115. 4:46are just the trail of where the market
  116. 4:49went but it's not the actual Market
  117. 4:51structure so once again it is impossible
  118. 4:54to have a bullish Market without a
  119. 4:56higher high or a higher low the market
  120. 4:59will remain bullish as long as we stay
  121. 5:02in between the higher high and higher
  122. 5:05low the moment we body close above we
  123. 5:08have then created a new higher high and
  124. 5:11we must have a new higher low once we
  125. 5:15have a new higher high it is impossible
  126. 5:19to have a new higher high without a new
  127. 5:22higher low and as long as we don't body
  128. 5:23close above either one of these lines
  129. 5:26this Market will remain bullish until we
  130. 5:28close above or we close under and that
  131. 5:31is one of the main issues with Traders
  132. 5:33nowadays because they just pull up to a
  133. 5:35chart and because they see the overall
  134. 5:37movement heading up or the overall
  135. 5:39movement heading down they think a
  136. 5:41market is bullish or a market is bearish
  137. 5:44and that cannot be further from the
  138. 5:45truth this is one of the biggest
  139. 5:47mistakes that Traders make and say they
  140. 5:49are not analyzing the market structure
  141. 5:51correctly they are not analyzing the
  142. 5:53trend of the market correctly the
  143. 5:55simplest example that I can leave of
  144. 5:57this is let's say that you you are
  145. 6:00hunting and a hunter in order for it to
  146. 6:03catch its prey they follow footsteps or
  147. 6:06the tracks of an animal if you aren't
  148. 6:08reading correctly the tracks of an
  149. 6:11animal if it's going in one direction or
  150. 6:14if it was coming towards this direction
  151. 6:16you can completely be walking the
  152. 6:19opposite way of where the animal is
  153. 6:21going and this is exactly what people do
  154. 6:24when they analyze the markets
  155. 6:25incorrectly they can assume that they're
  156. 6:28reading it correctly but are actually
  157. 6:29doing the complete opposite and just
  158. 6:31digging themselves in a deeper hole and
  159. 6:34this right here is a perfect example up
  160. 6:36to every single example that I have just
  161. 6:38showing you guys right now this Market
  162. 6:39was bullish until we body Candlestick
  163. 6:43closed under this higher low if you're a
  164. 6:45begin a Trader and I show you this chart
  165. 6:47like this you'll probably say that this
  166. 6:49Market is bullish because you would look
  167. 6:50at it and you would take an assumption
  168. 6:52that overall this is bullish because
  169. 6:55it's just heading to the upside but that
  170. 6:57cannot be further from the truth why
  171. 7:00because this once upon a time was the
  172. 7:03higher high and then this was the higher
  173. 7:06low the fact that the market has now
  174. 7:08body Candlestick close under this area
  175. 7:11means that this Market is now bearish we
  176. 7:13have shifted the market structure from
  177. 7:16being bullish to bearish so so has the
  178. 7:19trend the trend is identified by the
  179. 7:22market structure without Market
  180. 7:24structure you cannot identify the trend
  181. 7:27without Footprints or tracks when you go
  182. 7:30hunting you cannot tell if there's an
  183. 7:32animal there and where it is going it is
  184. 7:35absolutely impossible is absolutely
  185. 7:38impossible to tell this is bullish
  186. 7:39bearish without the market structure so
  187. 7:42since this has now created a new lower
  188. 7:44low this becomes the new lower low and
  189. 7:48you must need a new lower high it is
  190. 7:53impossible to have a new lower low
  191. 7:56without a new lower high so if we were
  192. 7:59to implement the exact same snake trick
  193. 8:01you get the head of the snake right here
  194. 8:03you follow the body here and as soon as
  195. 8:06the movement turns this now becomes the
  196. 8:10new lower high that is where the snake
  197. 8:12has shifted that is the last lower high
  198. 8:15that the market has left now exactly the
  199. 8:18same as when the market was bullish this
  200. 8:21Market can do absolutely whatever it
  201. 8:23wants inside of here as long as we don't
  202. 8:25body Candlestick close above or below
  203. 8:29the lower high or lower low we will
  204. 8:31remain bearish if we decide from this
  205. 8:35point right here to then do this we have
  206. 8:38created a new lower low meaning we must
  207. 8:42need a new lower high and a new lower
  208. 8:45high is identified by getting the head
  209. 8:47of the snake following it back and as
  210. 8:50soon as you get the turn that is where
  211. 8:52the new lower high is placed it is very
  212. 8:55easy and very straightforward now same
  213. 8:58exact thing happens the the moment the
  214. 8:59body Candlestick closes above we have
  215. 9:03now shifted and now this is a new higher
  216. 9:05high this becomes a higher high it is
  217. 9:08impossible to have a higher high without
  218. 9:10a higher low so then this higher low
  219. 9:13will then shift to then this new point
  220. 9:17right here this is the simplest and most
  221. 9:20advanced version of Market structure
  222. 9:23just to identify what the market is
  223. 9:25doing because a somewhat experienced
  224. 9:28Trader that still hasn't figured it out
  225. 9:30just yet can look at this market and be
  226. 9:32like oh this Market is in consolidation
  227. 9:36this Market is choppy it's an a ranging
  228. 9:38Market sure it could be an a ranging
  229. 9:41Market but inside of a ranging Market
  230. 9:44there is Market structure now what is
  231. 9:47the market structure doing is the market
  232. 9:49structure bullish or is the market
  233. 9:51structure bearish it does not matter if
  234. 9:53it is even a market structure that is as
  235. 9:56tight as this one right here it can be
  236. 9:58in the most choppy movement that you
  237. 10:01have ever seen in your life where it is
  238. 10:03in the exact same spot for weeks months
  239. 10:07years it can be in the exact same spot
  240. 10:09forever but there is Market structure
  241. 10:13inside of this consolidation move right
  242. 10:16here and I want to test you I want to
  243. 10:18see if you've been paying attention up
  244. 10:21to this point right now pause the video
  245. 10:23and tell me inside of that consolidation
  246. 10:26is this Market bullish or is this Market
  247. 10:29bearish and you know what to make it a
  248. 10:31little bit easier I've decided to make
  249. 10:32it a little bit bigger so you can go
  250. 10:33ahead and take your time and not make a
  251. 10:35mistake pay attention to what I just
  252. 10:37said now that you have your answer I
  253. 10:39want you to know exactly why you have
  254. 10:41your answer you might be correct or you
  255. 10:43might be incorrect but I want you to
  256. 10:45know exactly why you're correct or
  257. 10:47exactly why you're incorrect this Market
  258. 10:49started off as creating a higher high
  259. 10:53and this point down here was then the
  260. 10:56higher low as long as we remain above or
  261. 10:59under the higher low we will then
  262. 11:02continue to be bullish the market body
  263. 11:05Candlestick closed at that very point
  264. 11:08right there yes something as small as
  265. 11:10that counts as a shift of structure
  266. 11:13because the market simply did shift
  267. 11:16structure so then this becomes the new
  268. 11:18higher low this low point right here
  269. 11:20that closed under this line then we need
  270. 11:25a new lower high it is impossible to
  271. 11:27have a lower low without a lower high we
  272. 11:29get the head of the snake and then we
  273. 11:31follow it up where does it turn right
  274. 11:34here this is the snake trick and that is
  275. 11:37the new lower high cool as long as we
  276. 11:41remain above or under these lines we
  277. 11:43will remain bearish we body Candlestick
  278. 11:45closed above at this very point right
  279. 11:48here where then is has shifted to then
  280. 11:52being bullish this is the new higher
  281. 11:54high we do the snake trick this becomes
  282. 11:57the new higher low at this point point
  283. 11:59right here we shifted bearish once again
  284. 12:02here now that we've shifted bearish we
  285. 12:04do the snake trick it turns and this
  286. 12:06becomes the lower high this becomes a
  287. 12:09new higher high so on and so forth this
  288. 12:11becomes a new higher high after this
  289. 12:13point the market did not shift up into
  290. 12:16this point this becomes a new higher
  291. 12:18high and then this becomes the higher
  292. 12:21low body candle stick close under this
  293. 12:25now shifts bearish this is now the head
  294. 12:28of the snake and if we follow the body
  295. 12:30of the snake this is where it turned so
  296. 12:32this becomes the lower high and this
  297. 12:35Market structure as of right now in this
  298. 12:38ranging Market is bearish so if you
  299. 12:41answered this correctly make sure you
  300. 12:43know exactly how you did it correctly if
  301. 12:45you answered it correctly and you didn't
  302. 12:47do it like this you simply answered it
  303. 12:50correctly without knowing how to analyze
  304. 12:52the market correctly so make sure you
  305. 12:54write down these notes because it's so
  306. 12:56important to executing trades and making
  307. 12:58money so now that you understand that to
  308. 13:00Perfection because it is very simple I
  309. 13:02want to ask you once again another quiz
  310. 13:04is this Market bullish or is this market
  311. 13:07bearish now pause the video line it up
  312. 13:10and why do you think it's bullish why do
  313. 13:12you think it's bearish place your lower
  314. 13:13high your lower low your higher high and
  315. 13:15higher low make a mistake cuz I'm going
  316. 13:17to be right here to fix it for you live
  317. 13:19go ahead pause the video so now that
  318. 13:21you've made a mistake probably or not if
  319. 13:23you were paying attention in the last
  320. 13:24couple of minutes this Market currently
  321. 13:27started off creating a lower low lower
  322. 13:31high lower low lower high lower low
  323. 13:35lower high lower low lower high and
  324. 13:40lower low this is how this Market would
  325. 13:42have looked if I would have presented it
  326. 13:44to you on the line chart this is how I
  327. 13:46see this Market in the Candlestick chart
  328. 13:50this Market is inde the bearish and this
  329. 13:53point right here is the lower high and
  330. 13:56this point right here is now the lower
  331. 13:59low it is very simple very straight to
  332. 14:02the point until this Market does not
  333. 14:05body Candlestick close above this point
  334. 14:08or this point there will be no shift in
  335. 14:11structure in this market same exact
  336. 14:13thing right here this is the lower high
  337. 14:16this is the lower low so the market does
  338. 14:18not buy the Candlestick close above or
  339. 14:20under there is no shift in this market
  340. 14:23this Market will remain bearish into
  341. 14:25that very point and you want to know the
  342. 14:27craziest part that you didn't even know
  343. 14:29what time frame this was on you can't
  344. 14:32tell if this is on the daily if this is
  345. 14:34on the weekly or if this is on the one
  346. 14:36minute you want to know the best part
  347. 14:39you will never know and I wanted you
  348. 14:41guys to identify that market for what
  349. 14:43the market is not because it's a crypto
  350. 14:46and the crypto's down or because it's a
  351. 14:48stock and the stock is strong or because
  352. 14:50it's a currency pair and one pair is
  353. 14:52stronger than the other that does not
  354. 14:54matter when you're reading Market
  355. 14:55structure when you're reading Market
  356. 14:56structure you're reading Market
  357. 14:58structure and that is is it now we are
  358. 15:00on to the next Quiz once again pause
  359. 15:02this video is this Market bullish or is
  360. 15:05this Market bearish Place your higher
  361. 15:07highs and place your higher lows or your
  362. 15:10lower highs and lower lows so now that
  363. 15:12you have placed your higher highs and
  364. 15:13higher lows let's see if you're correct
  365. 15:15this Market currently at this very
  366. 15:18moment started off creating a lower low
  367. 15:22lower high lower
  368. 15:25low higher high higher low high higher
  369. 15:29high and now we have a lower low this
  370. 15:33Market went from creating bullish
  371. 15:35structure to now shifting to bearish
  372. 15:38structure this was the higher low at one
  373. 15:42point and this was the higher high at
  374. 15:46another the moment the Candlestick close
  375. 15:48under this has now shifted to being the
  376. 15:51lower low and this has now shifted to
  377. 15:54being the lower high reading Market
  378. 15:56structure is so essential to
  379. 15:59understanding what the market is going
  380. 16:01to be doing so you can make an execution
  381. 16:03on a trade and make money the best
  382. 16:05example that I can put of this is let's
  383. 16:08say an experienced Hunter an experienced
  384. 16:10Hunter they're going to be able to see
  385. 16:12the track of an animal identify what
  386. 16:16type of animal it is if it's a male or a
  387. 16:19female and if that animal is heading to
  388. 16:22the North heading to the east heading
  389. 16:24down to rever to drink water whatever
  390. 16:26the case is this is what we are looking
  391. 16:29at right here we are looking at the
  392. 16:31tracks of the market we're able to
  393. 16:34identify is this Market going to the
  394. 16:36upside is this Market going to the
  395. 16:38downside the different types of time
  396. 16:41frames let us know the details of the
  397. 16:44movement but it's the exact same
  398. 16:46movement a hunter can look at a track
  399. 16:48and if he looks at it with his vision if
  400. 16:51he puts on glasses gets a microscope
  401. 16:53takes a picture scans it it's the exact
  402. 16:56same track it's just different ways to
  403. 16:58identify it so he gets a better idea
  404. 17:00what animal it is and what age it has
  405. 17:03and what direction it's headed when
  406. 17:05we're looking at the market when we zoom
  407. 17:07in into the lower time frames and go to
  408. 17:09the higher time frames we're looking at
  409. 17:11the exact same Market structure just
  410. 17:13more details of it so we have a better
  411. 17:16understanding of how much more can this
  412. 17:18move go how long can we have on our
  413. 17:22stop-loss on a takeprofit where should
  414. 17:24we see this going within a week within a
  415. 17:26month is this Market even actually going
  416. 17:28going to go there we're just looking at
  417. 17:30the same movement just in a little bit
  418. 17:32more detail so with reading the market
  419. 17:33structure correctly you're going to be
  420. 17:35able to understand where the market is
  421. 17:37headed and then there you can decide
  422. 17:39what you're going to do is it the right
  423. 17:40time to execute a trade should I wait or
  424. 17:43do I need something else for the market
  425. 17:45to happen for me to execute a trade
  426. 17:47perfect example is the hunter the hunter
  427. 17:49can see what type of track it is let's
  428. 17:51say he identifies that it's an elk and
  429. 17:53you could tell by the size of the
  430. 17:55footprint that it's a very big male elk
  431. 17:58but the elk elk is headed up a mountain
  432. 18:01and usually Elks when they head up a
  433. 18:03mountain it's to eat food but for at
  434. 18:05night time they come back down again I'm
  435. 18:08not a hunter this is just a theory but
  436. 18:11at that very moment of you looking at
  437. 18:12that track it's early in the morning
  438. 18:15does it make logical sense for you to go
  439. 18:17up that mountain behind the elk or
  440. 18:19should you wait till a little bit later
  441. 18:20in the afternoon and wait for it to come
  442. 18:23back down the mountain so then you can
  443. 18:24go and proceed your shop once the elk
  444. 18:27comes to you this is the exact same
  445. 18:29thing in the markets when you do Market
  446. 18:31structure and you do your top analysis
  447. 18:33and you understand if the market is
  448. 18:34bullish or bearish you can decide should
  449. 18:37I go and chase this market and continue
  450. 18:39buying with it or is the market at too
  451. 18:41much of a high price or too much at a
  452. 18:44low price and wait for a retracement so
  453. 18:46then I can execute the trade you
  454. 18:48identifying the market structure
  455. 18:50correctly will let you know exactly at
  456. 18:53what point the market is and you can
  457. 18:55make a decision off of that right then
  458. 18:58and there which the majority of the time
  459. 19:00is going to give you anywhere from a 60
  460. 19:02to 75% accuracy on every single one of
  461. 19:04your trades and to show you how easy
  462. 19:06this is let me show you so right here
  463. 19:08you can clearly identify that this
  464. 19:11Market structure at this very moment is
  465. 19:14bearish this Market was creating lower
  466. 19:16low shifted to bullish then shifted
  467. 19:18right back to bearish and now we have a
  468. 19:21lower high and a lower low making this
  469. 19:23market bearish now that this Market is
  470. 19:26bearish it is at a lower low now you can
  471. 19:28make a decision at this lower low should
  472. 19:31I sell at the lowest point this Market
  473. 19:34has which in turn if I were to flip this
  474. 19:38chart around it is should I buy at the
  475. 19:41highest point this Market is or should I
  476. 19:45wait for some type of retracement and
  477. 19:48when we have this retracement now I'm
  478. 19:50getting a better rate on the investment
  479. 19:53that I'm making it makes more of a
  480. 19:54logical sense so then I have a greater
  481. 19:56return that is exactly what Market
  482. 19:58structure does and it gives you the
  483. 20:00perfect entry point to doing that and I
  484. 20:02have this video for you right here which
  485. 20:04is the top down analysis video which I
