The Fibonacci 0.618 Scalping Strategy Explained — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Fibonacci trading is basically trading
- 0:03the psychology of the markets. If this
- 0:06iPhone cost $1,000
- 0:09and then went on sale 60% off and you
- 0:13could buy it for 400, you would jump on
- 0:15that opportunity. The same thing happens
- 0:18when price is making market structure,
- 0:21bullish market structure, every single
- 0:24higher low is a discounted price where
- 0:26buyers are more interested in getting in
- 0:29and continuing that trend. So, let's
- 0:32jump into the charts and I'm going to
- 0:33show you how to trend trade like a
- 0:35master. Now, in yesterday's video, I
- 0:37showed you how to identify RSI
- 0:40divergences to find the tops and bottoms
- 0:43of these trends. But how do you actually
- 0:45trade these trends and get multiple
- 0:48positions and multiple successful trades
- 0:51during a trending market? Now, the
- 0:52easiest way to identify market structure
- 0:55is by using the brush tool. Mark up
- 0:58higher highs and higher lows. And then
- 1:01stop looking at your candles. You can
- 1:04actually hide them if you want. Now,
- 1:06bearish market structure is lower lows
- 1:09and lower highs. Every time a lower low
- 1:12gets broken and creates a continuation
- 1:15lower low, these are the ones that you
- 1:17want to identify as your main higher
- 1:19highs and higher lows, not all the noise
- 1:22in the middle. We're only focusing on
- 1:24lows, not even focusing on
- 1:28the higher lows. All we want to see is
- 1:31breaks of structure. Every single one of
- 1:34these pink lines is a break of the
- 1:36previous lower low. Now, because we know
- 1:40that price is making lower lows, price
- 1:42is continuing to break structure, we
- 1:45know that we can Fibonacci retracement
- 1:47trade successfully during this entire
- 1:50trend. Now, the Fibonacci retracement
- 1:52tool is the third icon down on your left
- 1:55toolbar. When you draw on your charts,
- 1:57it's going to look different if you've
- 1:58never changed the settings. I like these
- 2:01settings the best. Here they are, you
- 2:02can take a screenshot if you want to
- 2:04make yours look exactly like mine. Now,
- 2:06zooming in.
- 2:07When price breaks previous structure and
- 2:10starts retracing, you can draw your
- 2:13Fibonacci retracement tool from the top
- 2:16to the bottom of the move that broke
- 2:19structure. This is known as an impulse
- 2:22move. An impulse move breaks previous
- 2:25structure. And what I want you to do
- 2:28when you are trading this way, and you
- 2:29know that market structure is bearish,
- 2:31to get the highest risk to reward, I
- 2:34want you to create pending orders. Your
- 2:36pending orders are going to be in the
- 2:39Fibonacci gold zone. Keep in mind, the
- 2:41earlier entry, the worse your risk to
- 2:44reward. If you enter at a .5 Fibonacci
- 2:47retracement, and your take profit is at
- 2:49the end of the impulse move, and your
- 2:51stop loss is at the beginning of the
- 2:53impulse move, you will have a one to one
- 2:55risk to reward ratio. If your entry is
- 2:58at the .618, you will have a one to 1.6
- 3:01risk to reward ratio, which is much
- 3:03better. Sometimes your pending orders
- 3:06might not get tagged in, but that's
- 3:07okay, because this is the best way to do
- 3:09it, because this is the highest risk to
- 3:12reward. The reason why we target the
- 3:14bottom of the impulse move is because we
- 3:16do not know for sure if price will make
- 3:18a new lower low, but we can almost
- 3:20assume that price will make a double
- 3:22bottom if the trend is dying. So, a nice
- 3:25safe take profit is the bottom of that
- 3:28impulse move. And you will do this on
- 3:30every impulse move that broke the
- 3:33previous structure, and you will have
- 3:34your pending orders ready at the .618
- 3:37retracement. And you can see in this
- 3:39trend, we did not get tagged in many
- 3:42times along these retracements. But
- 3:44because we're smart and we want the best
- 3:46risk to reward, we were able to capture
- 3:48two wins and one loss out of here. So,
- 3:51if your risk to reward is one to 1.6,
- 3:53you got 3.2% for the winners and minus
- 3:561% for the one loser. That gives you a
- 3:58net profit of 2.2%. So, with or without
- 4:02the candles, if you draw your zigzags to
- 4:04the exact highs and lows of the wicks,
- 4:07you'll be able to see more clearly
- 4:08without the anxiety of every single
- 4:11pullback candle that you can now trade
- 4:14with the trend successfully, but the
- 4:16most important thing is being able to
- 4:18trade with the trend on the pullbacks to
- 4:21get the highest risk to reward. And if
- 4:23you really want to go crazy, you can
- 4:25actually hold these take profits until
- 4:28you can clearly see that the market
- 4:30trend is over and we are no longer
- 4:32making higher highs and higher lows.
- 4:34That's a huge, incredible risk to reward
- 4:37ratio. So, hopefully this video gave you
- 4:40a cleaner look without all the noise of
- 4:43how to trade with the trend with the
- 4:45highest probability for success, the
- 4:47best entry points, and the best risk to
- 4:50reward. Now, in tomorrow's video,
- 4:52because this is an entire series, I'm
- 4:55going to be putting all three of these
- 4:57trading strategies together in a single
- 5:00day on a low timeframe, so we can scalp
- 5:02the markets many times per day with the
- 5:05highest risk to reward ratio and the
- 5:08highest probability for success. We'll
- 5:10be putting together RSI divergences,
- 5:13Fibonacci retracements, as well as
- 5:15breakout trading strategies. Thank you
- 5:17so much for watching and I can't wait to
- 5:19see you in tomorrow's video.
