Stupid Simple Multi Time Frame Trading Strategy — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00The reason you keep losing trades is
- 0:01because you see the market go up and you
- 0:03start to place a buy position right here
- 0:05just for the market to retrace and then
- 0:07you get out of the trade here because
- 0:09you see that you're in drawdown just to
- 0:11see the market go right back up again
- 0:13and then you feel bad. But this is just
- 0:15forming an uptrend on the daily
- 0:17timeframe. But what I want you to
- 0:18understand is what happened between
- 0:21where you entered and where you got out
- 0:22because this is the area I want you to
- 0:25focus on. Now this looks like the market
- 0:27is going down but in reality if you go
- 0:29down to the 4-hour timeframe
- 0:32you'll see that the market is making
- 0:34lower highs and lower lows which is
- 0:37creating this pullback on the daily
- 0:40timeframe. So what you should do instead
- 0:42is wait for this most relevant lower
- 0:45high to be broken. That will give you
- 0:48confirmation that we are about to now
- 0:51start creating this next leg up on the
- 0:53daily timeframe. Now you want to wait
- 0:55for a nice pullback so that you can get
- 0:57a prime entry, place your stop loss
- 0:59below this lowest point of the pullback
- 1:01and now start to buy the market back up
- 1:03so that you can catch this full leg here
- 1:07on the higher timeframe. All right, so
- 1:08it's simple multi-timeframe market
- 1:10structure. The best part about it is
- 1:12that he's using these high timeframes
- 1:14which can usually guarantee some really
- 1:15nice swing. But let's make it even
- 1:17simpler than that by building an
- 1:19indicator that goes around the daily
- 1:21trend and tradeable on the 4-hour. Using
- 1:24LuxAlgo Quant I easily built this
- 1:26indicator. It involves EMAs as well as
- 1:29market structure and pullback detection.
- 1:32What it does is that it uses the higher
- 1:34timeframe EMA. We're using the 50 EMA.
- 1:37You can switch it to the 200 EMA if you
- 1:39want. But essentially it's using that 50
- 1:41EMA off the daily timeframe on whatever
- 1:43timeframe you use. This is the 4-hour.
- 1:46Here's that daily 50 EMA. It identifies
- 1:49the current market structure you want to
- 1:50be trading which would be bearish market
- 1:52structure. It only generates a retrace
- 1:55setup when it detects bullish momentum
- 1:59inside that bearish trend. Then once a
- 2:01change of character occurs, it plots a
- 2:0350% retracement as you can see here, and
- 2:05then a signal when price hits that 50%
- 2:08retracement. Here's that signal to
- 2:10continue that trend for a very nice
- 2:134-hour trade. It can also work on any
- 2:15timeframe and any asset. As you can see
- 2:17here, we have changed the higher
- 2:18timeframe to a 1-hour with a 50 EMA.
- 2:21Just got the change of character with
- 2:22the 50% retracement. We end up getting
- 2:25that signal there, a very nice reaction.
- 2:28That's where you would end up plopping
- 2:29your short, putting your stop somewhere
- 2:31around that EMA there, targeting a new
- 2:33low for that continuation. Ends up
- 2:35creating that low very nicely. A few
- 2:37things I would recommend is watching for
- 2:38reaction and playing around with the
- 2:40settings a bit to figure out what works
- 2:42best for the asset and timeframe you're
- 2:44on. If you want to get this indicator on
- 2:45your chart for completely free, just
- 2:47comment the word swing and I'll send you
- 2:49a link.
