  1. 0:00if you don't know how to play with time
  2. 0:01frames you simply don't know how to
  3. 0:03trade it doesn't matter if you're a day
  4. 0:04trader scalper swing Trader you can't
  5. 0:06properly top down analysis a chart you
  6. 0:09cannot trade it doesn't matter what type
  7. 0:11of Trader you are and if you want to be
  8. 0:12able to be a sniper Trader and
  9. 0:14constantly winning the markets and
  10. 0:15become profitable you have to be able to
  11. 0:17properly do a top down analysis in the
  12. 0:19market so you can actually see what the
  13. 0:21market is doing on different time frames
  14. 0:23now before you become into a nerd or I
  15. 0:25want to be expert on only one single
  16. 0:27time frame I need you to realize that
  17. 0:29there's not only one time frame to be
  18. 0:31successful you need to be able to manage
  19. 0:33multiple different time frames at the
  20. 0:35same time and these are the main key
  21. 0:37time frames that you need to know for a
  22. 0:39top- down analysis that is going to be
  23. 0:41the weekly time frame the daily time
  24. 0:43frame and the 4H hour time frame does
  25. 0:46not matter if you're a scalper day
  26. 0:47trader swing Trader you need to have
  27. 0:49these three main time frames in your top
  28. 0:51down analysis so you can properly
  29. 0:53understand the direction of the market
  30. 0:55where it's headed and how you can find
  31. 0:57an edge in the market so now let's get
  32. 0:59into the video on how you can properly
  33. 1:00do a top down analysis and I'm also
  34. 1:02going to show you how to actually enter
  35. 1:04a trade with my personal entry signal
  36. 1:07that I use every single time I enter a
  37. 1:09trade and it raises my win rate by even
  38. 1:1220 to 25% so if you have a win rate of
  39. 1:1540 to 50% if you just add this extra
  40. 1:18entry stuff that I use you're going to
  41. 1:20boost your win rate by 25 to 30% which
  42. 1:24can lead you to about a 70% winning
  43. 1:25strategy which is crazy so now let's
  44. 1:28actually get into the markets right now
  45. 1:29where I'm going to show show you how to
  46. 1:30properly do a top- down analysis and you
  47. 1:32can actually have an edge over the
  48. 1:33market so let's get into it so first
  49. 1:36things first is going to be the actual
  50. 1:39time frames to do the top- down analysis
  51. 1:42so there is hundreds of different time
  52. 1:44frames you have the one minute the 2
  53. 1:46minute the 3 minute 515 you have all
  54. 1:49these different time frames you can
  55. 1:50almost even create custom time frames of
  56. 1:52your own liking which is actually you
  57. 1:54know kind of bizarre doesn't even make
  58. 1:56any sense in my opinion but the
  59. 1:57possibility is there and then also you
  60. 1:59can go down to the seconds and how many
  61. 2:01seconds and stuff which is absolutely
  62. 2:03just ridiculous you notice here I have a
  63. 2:05star on every single time frame that I
  64. 2:08personally use for every single time I
  65. 2:10do a top down analysis on any pair on my
  66. 2:13watch list so this does not matter the
  67. 2:15currency pair that you're trading
  68. 2:17doesn't matter if it's gbpusd Euro USD
  69. 2:20GBP JPY the same top down analysis
  70. 2:23applies to any pair any commodity any
  71. 2:26future everything is exactly the same
  72. 2:28because it just consists of a top- down
  73. 2:30analysis the simple analogy that I can
  74. 2:32put here is if you were to take a car
  75. 2:35into a shop to do the oil change it has
  76. 2:37to pass by the same exact inspection
  77. 2:40they have to see how much oil is in it
  78. 2:42how old is the oil in there how much how
  79. 2:44many quarts of oil have to be added and
  80. 2:47what type of oil it's the same thing
  81. 2:48doesn't matter if it's a rollsroyce or
  82. 2:50if it's a Honda Civic they have to go
  83. 2:51through the same oil process to have the
  84. 2:53standard of what they should do next
  85. 2:55same thing here you have to go through
  86. 2:57the standard of what the time frames are
  87. 2:59doing to the determine if you're
  88. 3:00interested in taking this trade so these
  89. 3:03are going to be the main time frames
  90. 3:04that I use which is the 15 minute 30 1
  91. 3:07hour 2hour 4our daily weekly and monthly
  92. 3:11so I put a star on them so they stay on
  93. 3:13this top section here and I only focus
  94. 3:16on the ones that are needed for a proper
  95. 3:18top- down analysis so first things first
  96. 3:20what is a top down analysis well it's
  97. 3:22pretty self-explanatory you have to
  98. 3:24start from the top down right it's a top
  99. 3:27down analysis so you want to start off
  100. 3:29from the highest of the time frame and
  101. 3:31work all your way down so you were to
  102. 3:33start off from the weekly then after the
  103. 3:35weekly you would go to the Daily then
  104. 3:37from the daily you would go to the 4
  105. 3:39Hour the 4 Hour to 130 15 minutes it's
  106. 3:42just pretty much a ladder that goes from
  107. 3:44the highest time frame to the lowest
  108. 3:46time frame but there's actually a very
  109. 3:47specific way on how to do it and what
  110. 3:50time frame do you divide from each don't
  111. 3:52worry it's going to make sense and
  112. 3:53literally just a second so for this
  113. 3:55video we're going to be using the weekly
  114. 3:57the daily the 4 Hour the 2 hour the 1
  115. 3:59hour the 30 minute and the 15 minute so
  116. 4:01this is actually divided right down the
  117. 4:04middle almost pretty much and it's
  118. 4:07divided right at this section right here
  119. 4:09why you may ask well that is because the
  120. 4:12weekly the daily and the 4our is used
  121. 4:15for one parts of the top down analysis
  122. 4:18and then the 2H hour the 1 hour and 15
  123. 4:22and 30 minute is used for another part
  124. 4:25of the top down analysis so this part is
  125. 4:28going to be used for the trend to
  126. 4:31identify if the market is headed to the
  127. 4:33upside or the downside and then this
  128. 4:36part right here which is the 2 hour the
  129. 4:381 hour the 30 and the 50 minute is going
  130. 4:40to be used for the entry of the market
  131. 4:44that you're going to be executing so you
  132. 4:46have a top down analysis to identify the
  133. 4:48trend and a top down analysis to
  134. 4:51identify the entry which are is actually
  135. 4:54very neat because this way you can
  136. 4:55actually build an edge and make more
  137. 4:57money so when you're doing a top 10
  138. 4:59analysis you want to start off on the
  139. 5:01weekly I have the monthly here I don't
  140. 5:03use it as much anymore kind of just look
  141. 5:05at every once in a while just to refresh
  142. 5:06my memory from the beginning ways of my
  143. 5:08strategy but I don't use it anymore to
  144. 5:10be profitable haven't used it in a
  145. 5:12really long time just have it there it's
  146. 5:13kind of like a superstitious thing right
  147. 5:15just I like it so you want to start off
  148. 5:17on the weekly time frame so when you
  149. 5:19start off on the weekly time frame in
  150. 5:20the markets you're probably going to see
  151. 5:22a market that looks something like this
  152. 5:24you're going to see very big moves not
  153. 5:27going to see a lot of rejections you're
  154. 5:29not going to see a lot of movements it
  155. 5:30just looks like one Big Blob of a move
  156. 5:33simplest example I can show you is
  157. 5:35actively what the market Has Done Right
  158. 5:36Here looks like one Big Blob so if I
  159. 5:39were to copy the most recent Market
  160. 5:41structure it looks like one big move
  161. 5:44like this very easy to identify not that
  162. 5:47hard to pretty much see what's going on
  163. 5:50right so this Market you can clearly
  164. 5:52tell that it was going from bearish to
  165. 5:55then bullish and that this Market has
  166. 5:57shifted completely at at this section
  167. 6:00right here let me actually just delete
  168. 6:02this stuff so you can see how this
  169. 6:03Market has gone from bearish to then
  170. 6:07bullish this Market was creating lower
  171. 6:09lows and lower highs and then we broke
  172. 6:12this structure level making this a new
  173. 6:14higher high now we I understand by doing
  174. 6:17a top down analysis that the weekly time
  175. 6:20frame is bullish so it's going to look
  176. 6:23something like this now when we do a top
  177. 6:26down analysis all we're doing is
  178. 6:29literally zooming in to the exact same
  179. 6:33price that you are seeing right here so
  180. 6:35this same exact move that we have
  181. 6:37identified on the weekly time frame that
  182. 6:40has shifted structure when we go to the
  183. 6:42Daily time frame all we literally do is
  184. 6:45just zoom in all we do is get a little
  185. 6:48bit closer and when we get a little bit
  186. 6:50closer what happens we start seeing a
  187. 6:52little bit more of the detail of what's
  188. 6:54going on in the market so this exact
  189. 6:57same Market move is what's going on
  190. 6:59right here and I'm just going to go down
  191. 7:00to the Daily because I've already done
  192. 7:02the top parts of the analysis now I'm
  193. 7:04going to start working my way down and
  194. 7:07when I started from the top I realized
  195. 7:10that this Market is now going to the
  196. 7:12upside or this Market is going to the
  197. 7:14downside whatever the case is then I go
  198. 7:16down to the Daily time frame and I
  199. 7:18notice that within this same exact
  200. 7:21Market move there is a lot of structure
  201. 7:25that is happening inside here so all I'm
  202. 7:29simply going to do is just draw out the
  203. 7:30structure points following the same
  204. 7:34weekly move that happened on the section
  205. 7:37to the upside so if you notice this is
  206. 7:40the same exact move from right here on
  207. 7:43the weekly but now this is on the daily
  208. 7:46so we can identify from a top down
  209. 7:49analysis why it's so important on doing
  210. 7:52it because if we were to only look on
  211. 7:54the daily this is what we would see and
  212. 7:57we would see a bunch of rubbish we would
  213. 7:58see literally the market going up down
  214. 8:00up down up down it's a bit confusing but
  215. 8:03then if we look at the weekly we get a
  216. 8:04very clear indication of where the
  217. 8:06masses of the markets are actually
  218. 8:08heading and this is actually very key
  219. 8:10because you could only focus on what
  220. 8:12matters do you want to only take a day
  221. 8:15trade do you want to take an overall of
  222. 8:16a swing trade do you want to take a
  223. 8:18little scalp trade this is very
  224. 8:19important because you can almost do a
  225. 8:21little bit of everything with the proper
  226. 8:24top- down analysis confirmation because
  227. 8:26if you were to look at this on the
  228. 8:28weekly you would want to pretty much buy
  229. 8:30because this time frame is currently
  230. 8:32bullish but then if you were to look at
  231. 8:35this time frame you would tell that it
  232. 8:37is bearish even though it's a probably a
  233. 8:39beginner Trader this might look bullish
  234. 8:41it's actually bearish you can see how
  235. 8:43the market was here indeed creating
  236. 8:45higher highs higher lows higher highs
  237. 8:47higher lows higher highs higher lows
  238. 8:50higher highs and then we had broken this
  239. 8:52previous higher low making this market
  240. 8:55now bearish so we've identified that the
  241. 8:58daily time time frame is now shifting to
  242. 9:01the downside and this can kind of make a
  243. 9:03little bit of sense because for the
  244. 9:05weekly time frame what this can create
  245. 9:07is an even deeper pullback so then the
  246. 9:09weekly time frame can continue going to
  247. 9:12the upside hypothetically but we know
  248. 9:15that the weekly could have that deeper
  249. 9:17pullback because the daily time frame is
  250. 9:20now bearish and it's simply going
  251. 9:22bearish to give this weekly time frame
  252. 9:24the deeper pullback so then it can have
  253. 9:27the push to the upside so they're both
  254. 9:29both doing the same move but one's just
  255. 9:32pretty much taking the hit for the other
  256. 9:33one to have the actual move overall but
  257. 9:35this is all big hypothetical right this
  258. 9:38is uh basically what we're having right
  259. 9:39in front of us right now and it is 100%
  260. 9:41a fact and that is that the weekly time
  261. 9:44frame is a bullish and then that the
  262. 9:46daily time frame is bearish so as we're
  263. 9:48going through this top 10 analysis we're
  264. 9:50like well does it make more sense to buy
  265. 9:52or does it make more sense to sell but
  266. 9:54as of right now we have a 50/50 can't
  267. 9:56really get a clear indication it's why
  268. 9:57we have to go down now to the 4 4 hour
  269. 10:00so we're simply going to get the same
  270. 10:02exact Market move from the daily time
  271. 10:04frame right here we're going to put it
  272. 10:07right back into place just so we can
  273. 10:09pretty much confirm that all we are
  274. 10:11doing is just zooming in so we all agree
  275. 10:14that this is the market structure there
  276. 10:16now we go down to the 4 Hour so we
  277. 10:17already started from the top and we're
  278. 10:19working our way down now this is
  279. 10:21currently how this looks on the 4our
  280. 10:24time frame so for examples purposes I'm
  281. 10:27going to Simply start it off from this
  282. 10:29point right here just because there's a
  283. 10:31lot of Market structure and I can pretty
  284. 10:33much be all night identifying every
  285. 10:37single one of these structure points so
  286. 10:39just going to follow every single higher
  287. 10:42low and higher high that this Market
  288. 10:44created along the way of it heading to
  289. 10:47the upside and every lower lower and
  290. 10:49lower high that this Market created
  291. 10:52heading to the downside so as you guys
  292. 10:54can see it might look a little bit messy
  293. 10:56but once I move it to the outside you
  294. 10:57can see very clearly right here that
  295. 10:59came out from that 4H hour section and
  296. 11:02that this right here is the original
  297. 11:04daily structure move so we making this
  298. 11:07very very simple very very
  299. 11:09straightforward this is what the top-
  300. 11:11down analysis looks like on the weekly
  301. 11:14time frame this is what the top down
  302. 11:16analysis looks like on the daily time
  303. 11:19frame and now this is what the top down
  304. 11:21analysis looks like on the 4-Hour time
  305. 11:24frame everything you're seeing here is
  306. 11:26the exact same markets as as you can
  307. 11:29tell it's been GBP USD the whole entire
  308. 11:32way the only thing that has changed is
  309. 11:34that we have gotten in closer and closer
  310. 11:37and closer to identify what makes more
  311. 11:40sense does it make more sense to buy or
  312. 11:42does it make more sense to sell because
  313. 11:44at the end of the day the Market's going
  314. 11:45to do two things it's either going to go
  315. 11:46up or it's going to go down we're simply
  316. 11:48trying to find an edge on where it makes
  317. 11:50the most sense that the Market's going
  318. 11:51to go and as of right now that we've
  319. 11:53identified the weekly time frame as
  320. 11:56bullish and we've identified the daily
  321. 11:59time time frame as bearish we can
  322. 12:01confirm that the 4-Hour time frame is
  323. 12:04also bearish why maybe it's a beginner
  324. 12:07Trader you can identify this as bullish
  325. 12:10but it's actually the same exact concept
  326. 12:12as the daily time frame this Market was
  327. 12:14creating beautiful higher lows and
  328. 12:16higher highs heading to the upside but
  329. 12:19then this was the last higher low broke
  330. 12:22under that structure level making the
  331. 12:244-Hour time frame now bearish so as you
  332. 12:26can see this is the move that fits
  333. 12:29perfectly inside here and this is the
  334. 12:31move that perfectly fits inside of this
  335. 12:35Market structure right here so every
  336. 12:37single time frame that we go down we
  337. 12:39just get more in detail on what the hell
  338. 12:42the market is doing exactly this way we
  339. 12:44can find an edge on what decision should
  340. 12:47we take So based off of this right here
  341. 12:50off of creating a top 10 analysis my
  342. 12:52bias is already making more sense to
  343. 12:55enter a sell than to enter a buy why
  344. 12:58because as I started started from the
  345. 12:59top and I started working my way down
  346. 13:02with the top down analysis it's clearly
  347. 13:04that two time frames are going beish
  348. 13:07versus one time frame is bullish so as
  349. 13:10of right now that is literally only the
  350. 13:11first half of top down analysis which is
  351. 13:14going to be the weekly the daily and the
  352. 13:174our this is to Simply understand the
  353. 13:20trend of the market where is the
  354. 13:22majority of the time frames headed so we
  355. 13:24can pretty much create an edge on that
  356. 13:26direction and take the trade that way
  357. 13:28now this is what I do do personally for
  358. 13:29myself to catch day trades intraday
  359. 13:32trades and also swing trades some of you
  360. 13:35scalpers out there people that are
  361. 13:37taking even you know trade on the lower
  362. 13:39time frames you guys don't have to start
  363. 13:41on the weekly you guys can pretty much
  364. 13:42go Daily 4 Hour 2 hour and then you look
  365. 13:46for your entries from the D from the
  366. 13:48lower time frames down I personally like
  367. 13:50the weekly the daily and the 4 Hour
  368. 13:52simply because the higher time frames
  369. 13:54are more respected than the lower time
  370. 13:56frames why well it's because it takes
  371. 13:59the weekly a lot more time to create a
  372. 14:02structure Point than it does on the 1
  373. 14:05hour in order for the 1 hour to create a
  374. 14:07structure Point can literally happen
  375. 14:09within four to 5 hours which happens
  376. 14:11very often but on the weekly time frame
  377. 14:13for it to create a structure point it
  378. 14:15takes about four to 5 weeks to create
  379. 14:17the same structure point so what do you
  380. 14:19think is going to have a stronger basis
  381. 14:21of holding price something that happens
  382. 14:23every four or five hours and can happen
  383. 14:26tens of times throughout the day or or
  384. 14:29do you think something that happens once
  385. 14:31every month to month and a half it's
  386. 14:34pretty logical in my opinion it's why I
  387. 14:36stick to the stronger because at the end
  388. 14:37of the day I want to put my money behind
  389. 14:39something that is going to give me more
  390. 14:40odds of making me money versus not just
  391. 14:43doesn't make you know sense in my mind
  392. 14:45so after we understand that this is the
  393. 14:47top down analysis for the trend of the
  394. 14:50market now we're going to go through the
  395. 14:52top down analysis of the entry part
  396. 14:55which is very key because it's where a
  397. 14:57lot of Traders pretty much just want to
  398. 14:58jump the gun and go straight into
  399. 14:59entering the market but they got to
  400. 15:01understand that before entering the
  401. 15:03market they have to properly do a top
  402. 15:05down analysis to actually be able to
  403. 15:06execute a trade so now that we
  404. 15:09understand that two of these time frames
  405. 15:11are bearish I'm just going to remove the
  406. 15:13one that's bullish because we're not
  407. 15:15interested in buying at all and we
  408. 15:16should not be interested in buying at
  409. 15:18all we don't want to take a counter
  410. 15:19Trend trade makes no sense it's a
  411. 15:21high-risk trade so we're going to only
  412. 15:22look for reasons to sell so now that we
  413. 15:24have our two time frames that are going
  414. 15:26to confirm to us that this is bearish
  415. 15:28we're going to now look for entries on
  416. 15:31the 2H hour the 1 hour the 30 minute and
  417. 15:34the 50 minute so what exactly are we
  418. 15:37looking for on these time frames in
  419. 15:39order to take the trade now this is
  420. 15:41literally where you're about to have a
  421. 15:43aha moment you're literally about to
  422. 15:45tell yourself wow I cannot believe that
  423. 15:47I have not been seeing this so like I
  424. 15:50like it's literally like been right in
  425. 15:52front of your face the whole entire time
  426. 15:54and that is if we are
  427. 15:57selling why don't we continue the
  428. 16:00selling top down analysis Market
  429. 16:03structure on the entry points what does
  430. 16:05that mean let me show you so if we are
  431. 16:08interested in selling this market right
  432. 16:10here we know that this is what it looks
  433. 16:12like from the daily to the 4our here now
  434. 16:16this exact same Market structure let's
  435. 16:19say hypothetically on the 30 minutes
  436. 16:22just to show you guys very simply with
  437. 16:24the same exact Market that we're
  438. 16:26currently using you can see that on the
  439. 16:2830 minute it's going to look very very
  440. 16:31different let me just bring this here
  441. 16:34put it back on where the market is so we
  442. 16:36know that we're exactly on the same
  443. 16:37Market that we drew up in this section
  444. 16:40right here now this just back on this
  445. 16:42area so let's look at it on the 30
  446. 16:44minutes so if we go on the 30 minute
  447. 16:47time frame you can see how we're just
  448. 16:49going to structure up this last section
  449. 16:51here you can see how it consists of a
  450. 16:54lot more structure points literally
  451. 16:56creating a bunch of little higher lows
  452. 16:59and higher highs throughout the whole
  453. 17:01entire way and this is obviously
  454. 17:03happening a lot faster than the 4-Hour
  455. 17:06time frame then the daily time frame so
  456. 17:09on and so forth so if you notice right
  457. 17:11here this markets on the 30 minute time
  458. 17:15frame looks very different than you
  459. 17:17would want it to now what do I mean by
  460. 17:19that it's very confusing well don't
  461. 17:21worry it's about to make a lot of sense
  462. 17:23right now so I'm just pretty much
  463. 17:25dragging this all the way back to our
  464. 17:274our section which is going to be right
  465. 17:31around over here so what I have done
  466. 17:33right here is I've literally brought in
  467. 17:36this zoomed in section of the entry area
  468. 17:40of gbpusd on the 30 minutes from the 4H
  469. 17:44hour so this is the 4H hour time frame
  470. 17:47now this is what it looks like on the 30
  471. 17:49minute time frame so I've obviously only
  472. 17:51focused on this section here because if
  473. 17:53I were to pretty much go back all this
  474. 17:55would look very rubbish it would have a
  475. 17:58lot of different structure points and
  476. 18:00doesn't matter to what we're about to do
  477. 18:02right now so if this is what the 4H hour
  478. 18:06time frame looks like and we've
  479. 18:08understood that this time frame is
  480. 18:10bearish just going to put it here so
  481. 18:11it's very Visual and this is what the 30
  482. 18:15minute time frame looks like what is
  483. 18:17this 30 minute time frame doing right
  484. 18:19now are we actively bullish or are we
  485. 18:23actively bearish well once again
  486. 18:27probably to a begin a Trader this time
  487. 18:30frame might be bearish but they're
  488. 18:32actually wrong this time frame is
  489. 18:36bullish this Market was creating lower
  490. 18:39lows lower highs lower lows lower highs
  491. 18:42lower lows lower highs lower lows and we
  492. 18:44have now shifted to the upside making
  493. 18:48this 30 minute time frame bullish so now
  494. 18:51that this 30 minute time frame is
  495. 18:54bullish well doesn't mean that it's the
  496. 18:56right time to enter this trade because
  497. 18:58we are looking to sell and we can only
  498. 19:01sell when we have a bearish market if we
  499. 19:05have a lower time frame which is the
  500. 19:07time frame that we're going to enter
  501. 19:09that is against our overall topown
  502. 19:12analysis Trend it simply does not make
  503. 19:15sense to enter the trade the lower time
  504. 19:17frames have not shifted the structure
  505. 19:19yet making it not logical to enter the
  506. 19:22trade so this right here would be a
  507. 19:24perfect example of a loss that a Trader
  508. 19:27would take or a position that I
  509. 19:29personally would avoid so to make this
  510. 19:32very simple and very straight to the
  511. 19:34point it simply comes down to this if
  512. 19:37this is going to be let's say the 4our
  513. 19:40time frame and this is what the market
  514. 19:42would look like on the 4H hour and if I
  515. 19:45were to divide it from 4 hour to then 30
  516. 19:48minutes this is what it would look like
  517. 19:50on the 30 minute let me just make it a
  518. 19:52very clear cut through version of what
  519. 19:55it could look like following the same
  520. 19:58path this is simply going from the 4H
  521. 20:00hour to the 30 minute time frame they're
  522. 20:02obviously exactly the same this is
  523. 20:04simply just 4 hour and then this is
  524. 20:08going to be 30
  525. 20:10minutes we are analyzing this Market
  526. 20:13looking to take this trade to the upside
  527. 20:15this is where we would wait for this
  528. 20:17pull back here to then buy this is going
  529. 20:20to be the key of a patient Trader
  530. 20:22waiting for this area to hit to then
  531. 20:25enter the position now this is where top
  532. 20:28down analysis is so crucial because this
  533. 20:31pullback right here is going to give you
  534. 20:33the perfect confirmation that you have
  535. 20:35to wait why because now this time frame
  536. 20:38has gone bearish all the way up to this
  537. 20:41area in here and you cannot enter this
  538. 20:45Market as long as this Market continues
  539. 20:48bearish you could only enter on this
  540. 20:51Market once it has shifted with the
  541. 20:55overall time frames from the top that
  542. 20:58analysis
  543. 20:59if the 4our and then the daily time
  544. 21:02frame are bullish you want to make sure
  545. 21:05that then the 30 minute time frame is
  546. 21:08also bullish with the overall time
  547. 21:11frames on the pullback it went bearish
  548. 21:15and then we have to wait for it to
  549. 21:17Simply go bullish so we can then
  550. 21:19continue to take this trade to the
  551. 21:22upside the key is when you're going to
  552. 21:24enter the trade on the lower time frames
  553. 21:27you want to make sure that it allow
  554. 21:28aligns with the trend of the overall top
  555. 21:32down analysis if you were to write down
  556. 21:34one thing from this one entire video
  557. 21:36that would be it right there so pause
  558. 21:37the video watch it and as you pause the
  559. 21:39video hit that subscribe button because
  560. 21:41this right here took me like 2 and
  561. 21:441 half years to understand and the fact
  562. 21:46that I'm just putting it in this video
  563. 21:47right now is actually crazy so hit that
  564. 21:49subscribe button right now cuz nobody
  565. 21:50else is making it as simple and as
  566. 21:53effective as I am right now because this
  567. 21:54alone can boost your win rate by 25 to
  568. 21:58to 30% so make sure you hit that
  569. 22:00subscribe button so this obviously looks
  570. 22:02very simple on line chart right but we
  571. 22:04don't trade line charts we trade
  572. 22:06candlesticks let me actually show you
  573. 22:07how it looks like on the Candlestick
  574. 22:09section so I'm just going to pretty much
  575. 22:10hold on to this for just a quick second
  576. 22:13I'm going to show you guys on this very
  577. 22:15live example that I'm actually very
  578. 22:17eager to enter right now so as you guys
  579. 22:19can see this is a very clear shift of
  580. 22:22structure if we were to start off from
  581. 22:24the daily time frame well let's start
  582. 22:25off from the weekly right weekly we can
  583. 22:28very clearly tell that we have had a
  584. 22:30lower low lower high lower low now we've
  585. 22:33had a higher high weekly time frame is
  586. 22:35actually bullish but you can see how we
  587. 22:37have very strong weekly rejection
  588. 22:39candlesticks confirming to us that this
  589. 22:41can pretty much not like this area and
  590. 22:43have a deeper pull back to then continue
  591. 22:45to head to the upside because the
  592. 22:47overall trend is bullish on the weekly
  593. 22:49time frame now starting from the top
  594. 22:51working our way down to the Daily time
  595. 22:53frame you can see that the daily time
  596. 22:55frame has actually shifted structure
  597. 22:57beautifully you can see how we have a
  598. 23:00very valid left head and then a right
  599. 23:04shoulder we have confirmed broken
  600. 23:06through the neckline of that Head and
  601. 23:08Shoulder well now this time frame is
  602. 23:12bearish so we have two completely
  603. 23:14different time frames telling us two
  604. 23:16completely different things it's 50/50
  605. 23:18you want to go with the weekly 50% of
  606. 23:20going up you want to go with the daily
  607. 23:2250% chance of going down well I'm not
  608. 23:25going to take a trade on a 50/50 chance
  609. 23:26I want to have the majority of the
  610. 23:28possibilities that I can in order to T
  611. 23:30enter this trade that's why I'm going to
  612. 23:32go down now to the 4H hour to continue
  613. 23:34this top down analysis when I come over
  614. 23:37to the 4our I can very clearly tell that
  615. 23:40this 4our was in a bullish trajectory
  616. 23:43heading to the upside creating higher
  617. 23:45highs and higher lows and then we had
  618. 23:47this massive bearish move that has
  619. 23:50engulfed pretty much the last couple of
  620. 23:53weeks in one single session what it did
  621. 23:56indicating to us that well now now the
  622. 23:584our is bearish as well giving us two
  623. 24:01time frames that are bearish versus one
  624. 24:04now I want you to ask yourself what
  625. 24:06makes more sense to sell or to buy
  626. 24:07obviously to sell so now we move over to
  627. 24:10the entry part of the actual trade so
  628. 24:14you can go to the 2hour the 1 hour the
  629. 24:1630 minute the 50 minute whatever looks
  630. 24:18cleaner I like the 30 minute the most
  631. 24:21out of anything so when I go over to the
  632. 24:2330 minutes you guys can see here that in
  633. 24:25the 30 minutes we have structure
  634. 24:28everywhere we have structure here
  635. 24:30heading to the upside then we have
  636. 24:32structure here heading to the downside
  637. 24:35and on this structure heading to the
  638. 24:36downside we can see how we created a
  639. 24:39insane amount of a double bottom and
  640. 24:42then we have now shifted to the upside
  641. 24:45making the 30 minute time frame bullish
  642. 24:48you cannot enter a sell if you have a
  643. 24:51bullish time frame what do you have to
  644. 24:53do you have to wait for this time frame
  645. 24:55to now go bearish and once it goes
  646. 24:58bearish then you can continue to take
  647. 25:00the trade with the overall market now I
  648. 25:04don't think you guys understand how
  649. 25:05powerful this is this is literally the
  650. 25:08market showing you its hand first so you
  651. 25:11can then follow it a lot of Traders want
  652. 25:13to predict the Market's hand before it
  653. 25:16actually happens not me I want the
  654. 25:18market to show me what it's going to do
  655. 25:20after it shows me what it's going to do
  656. 25:22I'm like all right cool you're actually
  657. 25:23going to go down well I'll jump in with
  658. 25:25you I don't want to predict that it's
  659. 25:27going to go down I want to wait for for
  660. 25:28it to confirm that it's going to
  661. 25:30continue going down with these other
  662. 25:31time frames so then I can actually then
  663. 25:33jump on the ship with it it's almost
  664. 25:35like a hack it's literally telling you
  665. 25:37hey I'm actually going to start going
  666. 25:39down to the downside now the lower time
  667. 25:41frames are pretty much letting you know
  668. 25:43that so when you get over to the 4H hour
  669. 25:45time frame you were to pretty much see
  670. 25:47one big red Candlestick going like this
  671. 25:50and what you know is that on the 30
  672. 25:52minute time frame we shifted this is
  673. 25:54where you enter the trade and then you
  674. 25:55can pretty much set and forget your way
  675. 25:57to success because the lower time frame
  676. 26:00is confirming that it is going to
  677. 26:02continue the trend with the top analysis
  678. 26:05of the overall time frames and you're
  679. 26:07probably asking yourself what is this
  680. 26:08word set and forget and how can you set
  681. 26:10and forget your way to success like is
  682. 26:11that even possible well that's what my
  683. 26:13students have been doing in the last
  684. 26:14three months they've been making
  685. 26:15anywhere from ,000 to
  686. 26:17$1,500 a week as a beginner set and
  687. 26:20forget Trader where they're literally
  688. 26:21catching trades like this with me every
  689. 26:24single week on a call that I get with
  690. 26:26them and I explain to them my top two
  691. 26:28top three pairs that I trade for the
  692. 26:30week that have the clearest and most
  693. 26:32precise top down analysis that give us
  694. 26:35the edge on the market and confirm to us
  695. 26:37that hey it makes more sense to sell at
  696. 26:40this moment than to buy simply because
  697. 26:42the overall time frames are actually
  698. 26:44going down just hop onto the trend to
  699. 26:46the downside or all the time frames are
  700. 26:48going up hop on the trend to the upside
  701. 26:51and if you don't know what set and
