  35. 1:02who are the biggest players in forex
  36. 1:04trading the advantages of forex trading
  37. 1:06over the other markets
  38. 1:07like stocks and what are the forex
  39. 1:09market hours so let's get started
  40. 1:11so first and foremost what is forex
  41. 1:13trading well forex
  42. 1:14stands for foreign exchange in case you
  43. 1:16haven't you know realized it yet
  44. 1:18it is simply an exchange of one currency
  45. 1:20for another
  46. 1:21and you might be thinking why do i want
  47. 1:23to you know exchange currencies right
  48. 1:24now
  49. 1:24very simple let's say for example you
  50. 1:26want to go on a vacation
  51. 1:28and let's say you're in the u.s and you
  52. 1:30want to come to singapore for holiday
  53. 1:31well guess what
  54. 1:32if you bring your us dollars into
  55. 1:33singapore and buy a bowl of noodles the
  56. 1:35lady will give you the
  57. 1:37you know like what you're trying to do
  58. 1:38man so clearly right you can't use
  59. 1:40us dollars in singapore so what you need
  60. 1:42to do is to go to a money changer maybe
  61. 1:44in the us
  62. 1:44and what you'll do is sell your us
  63. 1:46dollars in exchange for singapore
  64. 1:48dollars and then you can you know come
  65. 1:49to singapore
  66. 1:50have a nice holiday have a bowl of
  67. 1:51noodles rice and you know have fun
  68. 1:53so that's pretty much you know one
  69. 1:54example of uh forex trading or
  70. 1:57rather you know the exchange of currency
  71. 1:58and what the purpose is for
  72. 2:00on the other hand for corporations let's
  73. 2:02say a company like toyota
  74. 2:04who produces car let's say they need to
  75. 2:06buy some
  76. 2:07rubber for their tires for example okay
  77. 2:09and you know
  78. 2:10uh you know they in japan right maybe
  79. 2:12they are not a producer of rubber and
  80. 2:14they need to go to
  81. 2:15india to buy some rubber for their cars
  82. 2:18so what do toyoto toyota cooperation do
  83. 2:20what they do is they will
  84. 2:22sell their yen in exchange for indian
  85. 2:24rupee so they can use that indian rupee
  86. 2:27go to india and buy some rubber for
  87. 2:29their tires make sense so that's another
  88. 2:31example of
  89. 2:32forex trading one is from a retail
  90. 2:33perspective and one is from a
  91. 2:34corporation
  92. 2:35perspective and this is a six point six
  93. 2:38trillion dollar market the forex market
  94. 2:39is a six point six
  95. 2:41trillion dollar market look at the
  96. 2:42number of zeros my man it has
  97. 2:44more the number of zeros is even more
  98. 2:46than the the hair i have on my head so
  99. 2:48that's a huge
  100. 2:49huge market so who are the players
  101. 2:52of forex trading so let me just you know
  102. 2:54give you a very simple
  103. 2:55chart right to kind of you know break
  104. 2:57down who trades the forex market
  105. 2:59so you can see over here primarily the
  106. 3:00forex markets are traded by you know the
  107. 3:02major banks this could be due to you
  108. 3:04know hedging their portfolios
  109. 3:05feeling they are you know uh meeting
  110. 3:06their requirements of their clients
  111. 3:09like commercial companies which i'll
  112. 3:10explain shortly uh this could
  113. 3:12a forex market is also you know traded
  114. 3:14by hedge funds for you know speculative
  115. 3:16purposes
  116. 3:16maybe to hit their portfolios and done
  117. 3:19by commercial companies for example like
  118. 3:20toyota as i've mentioned earlier
  119. 3:22so for example how does commercial
  120. 3:23companies and bank work hand in hand so
  121. 3:25very simple
  122. 3:26so let's say you know a company like
  123. 3:27again toyota they know they need
  124. 3:29let's say they want to buy rubber from
  125. 3:31india they can't use
  126. 3:32yen in india because you know the
  127. 3:34indians might think you know what is
  128. 3:36this piece of paper right am i supposed
  129. 3:37to make a paper plane out of this
  130. 3:38no so what toyota will do is they might
  131. 3:40go to a bank and say hey i need to
  132. 3:42exchange you know
  133. 3:43x number of yens right in exchange for
  134. 3:45indian rupee so
  135. 3:46commercial bank will go to i mean a
  136. 3:48commercial company will go to the bank
  137. 3:49right and you'll
  138. 3:50settle this uh this transaction so this
  139. 3:52is how they kind of
  140. 3:53work interrelated together and of course
  141. 3:55banks can you know trade them
  142. 3:56within uh among one another to hate
  143. 3:59their portfolio and stuff like that
  144. 4:00and finally at the bottom of the food
  145. 4:02chain you have the retail traders like
  146. 4:03us
  147. 4:04who you know go into this for maybe uh
  148. 4:07speculative purposes could be you know
  149. 4:08going for vacation you need to change a
  150. 4:09bit of
  151. 4:10currencies so yeah this is uh largely
  152. 4:12you know what
  153. 4:13what are the players in the forex
  154. 4:14markets do
  155. 4:16so advantageous of forex trading so
  156. 4:19what are the advantages number one right
  157. 4:21it is low barrier
  158. 4:22to entry so you can start with you know
  159. 4:24as little as 100 so unlike you know
  160. 4:26futures or stocks where you probably
  161. 4:28would have to start with a larger amount
  162. 4:29for forex trading right to open an
  163. 4:31account
  164. 4:31100 right is i'll say enough right to
  165. 4:34open an account
  166. 4:36it has high liquidity so you can enter
  167. 4:37and exit your trades easily so if you
  168. 4:39trade forex and you want to buy let's
  169. 4:40say
  170. 4:41a currency pair like euro dollar you can
  171. 4:43pretty much get at the price right that
  172. 4:45you see on your screen unlike you know
  173. 4:46certain
  174. 4:47markets like let's say penny stock
  175. 4:48sometimes uh market is moving quickly or
  176. 4:50market is illiquid when you
  177. 4:52thought you buy it hundred dollars and
  178. 4:53end up you buy the stock 105 dollars due
  179. 4:55to you know slippages and stuff like
  180. 4:56that so in forex trading
  181. 4:58you still have slippages but i would say
  182. 4:59it's lesser compared to the stock
  183. 5:01markets
  184. 5:02then uh the market is open 245 for forex
  185. 5:04right you can trade pretty much any time
  186. 5:05you want unlike the stock markets which
  187. 5:07is you know just open for a fixed number
  188. 5:08of hours in a day so what are the forex
  189. 5:12market hours so as mentioned right forex
  190. 5:14is open 24 hours
  191. 5:16five days a week so it's open from
  192. 5:18sunday to friday right depending on
  193. 5:20where you are in the world if you're
  194. 5:21like me
  195. 5:22in singapore it's open from monday to
  196. 5:23friday if i mean monday to saturday if
  197. 5:26you're in us then you'll be from sunday
  198. 5:27to friday because of the uh
  199. 5:28hours in the forex market because of
  200. 5:30your time zone so what are the forex
  201. 5:32market hours okay so let me just break
  202. 5:34this down so you can understand this
  203. 5:35chart
  204. 5:36so first one over here is the daylight
  205. 5:38saving time so this refers to the summer
  206. 5:40months
  207. 5:41in u.s okay in the overseas in other
  208. 5:43countries
  209. 5:44in singapore we don't have daylight
  210. 5:45saving time so this is a bit uh
  211. 5:47new to you if you are in asia and the
  212. 5:50time that we use to depict the hours we
  213. 5:52use gmt over here
  214. 5:53okay so for example let's say uh london
  215. 5:56market right for summer period the
  216. 5:59london
  217. 6:00session right starts at 7 00 am gmt and
  218. 6:03ends
  219. 6:04at 4 00 p.m gmt so 1600 is in essence
  220. 6:07at 4 pm if you convert it okay for new
  221. 6:10york
  222. 6:11it starts at 12 p.m gmt
  223. 6:15the new york session and it ends at 9 pm
  224. 6:17gmt new york session so you can see how
  225. 6:19this uh
  226. 6:20this uh table right breaks down the
  227. 6:22different forex sessions and their
  228. 6:24open and closing hours so this is for
  229. 6:27daylight savings time during the summer
  230. 6:29period
  231. 6:30and for standard time right during the
  232. 6:31winter period right the hours right are
  233. 6:33slightly different they are
  234. 6:34different by an hour so if you look now
  235. 6:36at london again now
  236. 6:38we open at 8 am whereas previously it
  237. 6:40opened
  238. 6:41at 7 00 am okay so previously 7 am here
  239. 6:46so during winter months right it starts
  240. 6:48at 8am
  241. 6:49and ends at 5pm for new york it starts
  242. 6:51at 1 pm
  243. 6:52and close it or ends at 10pm so you can
  244. 6:55see this table here
  245. 6:56i would say it's useful right to to know
  246. 6:59what time a certain forex
  247. 7:00market session opens or closed in your
  248. 7:02particular time zone
  249. 7:04and some of you might be wondering hey
  250. 7:05ray how do i know whether is it a winter
  251. 7:07or summer period simple just google
  252. 7:09if you google right then you know
  253. 7:10whether hey is it now standard time or
  254. 7:12is it daylight savings time so i'm not
  255. 7:14going to put that down here because
  256. 7:15it really depends on the time of the
  257. 7:16year so let's do a quick recap
  258. 7:19number one forex trading is simply an
  259. 7:21exchange of one currency for another
  260. 7:23it's traded by banks corporations
  261. 7:24brokers and retail traders like you and
  262. 7:26me
  263. 7:27forex trading has a low barrier to entry
  264. 7:29high liquidity and the market is open 24
  265. 7:315. and finally the forex market hours
  266. 7:33are broken down into four different
  267. 7:34sessions the sydney session the tokyo
  268. 7:36london and new york and one thing to add
  269. 7:38right a bonus thing is that uh
  270. 7:39the most volatile session right in the
  271. 7:42forex market is during the london
  272. 7:44and new york overlap so it's actually
  273. 7:45during this few hours from here
  274. 7:48to here because both the london and the
  275. 7:50new york session
  276. 7:51are open and these are kind of like the
  277. 7:52biggest financial markets in the world
  278. 7:54so a lot of transactions are going on
  279. 7:55during this
  280. 7:56forex market hours and if you look at
  281. 7:58the forex charts like the 15 minutes or
  282. 8:00one hour time frame
  283. 8:01you can see that during this period
  284. 8:02right the candles are moving a lot
  285. 8:04a lot more during this a few hours of
  286. 8:06the day so this is just one additional
  287. 8:08thing to
  288. 8:08share with you okay so we have done the
  289. 8:10recap so
  290. 8:12that's pretty much it now moving on
  291. 8:15right you will
  292. 8:16learn what is a currency pair
  293. 8:19what is the base and code currency what
  294. 8:21are the different types of currency
  295. 8:23pairs so
  296. 8:24let's get started number one what is a
  297. 8:26currency
  298. 8:27pair so one thing to note is that you
  299. 8:28trade currency in pairs not as a
  300. 8:31standalone so just like you know when
  301. 8:32you go to a supermarket to buy an orange
  302. 8:34you don't say hey i want to buy some
  303. 8:35orange they will tell you yeah you want
  304. 8:38to buy some orange right but
  305. 8:39you have to you know exchange right your
  306. 8:41money for an orange so same thing for
  307. 8:43currency pairs right when you want to
  308. 8:44trade currencies you have to exchange
  309. 8:46one currency
  310. 8:47for another currency you can't just say
  311. 8:48i want to buy some euros
  312. 8:50then the other person on the or the
  313. 8:52other party will be thinking
  314. 8:54sure you're gonna buy some euros so what
  315. 8:56are you giving me in exchange
  316. 8:57so this is why currency pairs or rather
  317. 9:00why currencies right trade in pairs
  318. 9:02not as a standalone so in essence right
  319. 9:05currency pairs help you
  320. 9:06measure a currency's value against
  321. 9:09another currency
  322. 9:11so for example let me explain right euro
  323. 9:13against the dollar so when you
  324. 9:14let's say buy the euro dollar in essence
  325. 9:17what you're doing is you're buying
  326. 9:18the euro currency all right and you're
  327. 9:21selling
  328. 9:22the us dollar so in essence right when
  329. 9:23you are buying the euro
  330. 9:25you're giving the other party us dollars
  331. 9:27in exchange for
  332. 9:28the euro currency so just like you're
  333. 9:29buying an apple from the supermarket
  334. 9:31you're giving your money in exchange for
  335. 9:33that apple so
  336. 9:34it works in pair likewise for dollar
  337. 9:37against the yen
  338. 9:38you are buying the us dollar and in
  339. 9:40return right you give the other party
  340. 9:42japanese yen make sense moving on
  341. 9:46what is a base currency or what is a
  342. 9:48base currency so let me explain the base
  343. 9:49currency is in essence right the first
  344. 9:52currency that appears in a currency pair
  345. 9:54so this will illustrate so for example
  346. 9:56euro against the dollar
  347. 9:57the first currency of the pair is called
  348. 10:00a base
  349. 10:01currency and i'll explain why shortly
  350. 10:04so what is a code currency so the code
  351. 10:06currency is
  352. 10:07the second currency that appears in the
  353. 10:09currency pair
  354. 10:10and for the euro dollar example the us
  355. 10:12dollar is the
  356. 10:14quote currency and now you might be
  357. 10:15wondering hey wayne and what's the
  358. 10:17purpose purpose
  359. 10:18of all this man so let me explain the
  360. 10:21purpose of all this is to
  361. 10:23tell you how much it cost in one
  362. 10:26in code currency to buy one base
  363. 10:27currency i know that sounds like a
  364. 10:29technical full so i'll break it down
  365. 10:32very simply which i've
  366. 10:33actually done earlier so for example
  367. 10:35euro dollar
  368. 10:36at 1.3500 what it means
  369. 10:40is you know that euro is the base
  370. 10:43currency
  371. 10:44right let's call it b base and the
  372. 10:47dollar as mentioned
  373. 10:48is the quote currency that's pretty cute
  374. 10:51so this
  375. 10:51tells you how much it costs in code
  376. 10:53currency to buy one based currency so in
  377. 10:55essence what this tells you is that
  378. 10:57for one euro dollar it will cost you
  379. 11:01one dollar and 35 cents
  380. 11:04usd so let's say you go to a money
  381. 11:07changer hey i'm gonna buy one euro man
  382. 11:09and the guy said sure my man give me one
  383. 11:12dollar and 35 cents
  384. 11:14usd and i'll give you one euro that's
  385. 11:16how it works right and that's how you
  386. 11:17kind of
  387. 11:17interpret this right okay it tells you
  388. 11:20how much
  389. 11:21it costs in code currency to buy one
  390. 11:23base currency
  391. 11:24and i think that should be a pretty
  392. 11:26self-explanatory
  393. 11:28if you don't understand this just rewind
  394. 11:30this video and i'm pretty sure you'll
  395. 11:31get it
  396. 11:32so when you're trading currencies right
  397. 11:34there are different types of currency
  398. 11:35pairs and i'll explain
  399. 11:36what are the three different types of
  400. 11:38currency pairs that you'll encounter
  401. 11:40number one is what we call the major
  402. 11:41currency pairs number two we have cross
  403. 11:44currency pairs and number three
  404. 11:45exotic currency pairs so let me explain
  405. 11:49major currency pairs these are in
  406. 11:50essence right
  407. 11:51or rather they refer to the most traded
  408. 11:53currency pairs in the world
  409. 11:54so these are the seven most traded
  410. 11:56currency pairs in the world they're all
  411. 11:58uh dollar denominated like you know the
  412. 11:59euro against the dollar
  413. 12:00the pound against the dollar dollar
  414. 12:02against the canadian etc so if you are
  415. 12:04new to forex trading right now these are
  416. 12:06i would say the seven
  417. 12:07currency pairs that you might want to
  418. 12:08consider starting
  419. 12:10i mean to trade first because they are
  420. 12:12usually uh i'll say their transaction
  421. 12:13costs are lower due to lower spreads
  422. 12:15and you know you get less slippages when
  423. 12:17trading this uh most
  424. 12:19seven most popular currency pairs so
  425. 12:21these are the major currency pairs
  426. 12:23the next one cross currency pairs this
  427. 12:24refers to currency pairs
  428. 12:26which are non-usd which doesn't have the
  429. 12:28usd you know denomination in it
  430. 12:30so for example let's say you have the
  431. 12:32euro crosses euro crosses simply means
  432. 12:34that their currency pairs that has the
  433. 12:36euro currency in it like the euro
  434. 12:38against the british pound euro against
  435. 12:40the aussie dollar euro against the new
  436. 12:41zealand dollar
  437. 12:42then you have the pound crosses like
  438. 12:43pound yen pound against the aussie
  439. 12:45dollar pound against the new zealand
  440. 12:46dollar etc pretty pretty simple stuff
  441. 12:49and finally the last type of currency
  442. 12:51parents that we have is the exotic
  443. 12:52currency pairs
  444. 12:53this is when one may when one major
  445. 12:55currency pair
  446. 12:56is paired with a developing country's
  447. 12:59currency so for example
  448. 13:02us dollar against the mexican peso us
  449. 13:04dollar is a major
  450. 13:05currency pair and mexican
  451. 13:08that's all right this is a developing
  452. 13:10country's currency so again this meets
  453. 13:11the requirement right one
  454. 13:12major currency is paired with a
  455. 13:15developing country's currency
  456. 13:16next one the euro against the turkish
  457. 13:18lira euro is a major currency turkish
  458. 13:20lira is a
  459. 13:21developing country's currency and
  460. 13:23finally the indian rupee against the
  461. 13:25british pound
  462. 13:25again so this is what we mean by exotic
  463. 13:28currency pairs
  464. 13:29so one thing to note right is that when
  465. 13:31you trade exotic currency pairs the
  466. 13:33spread
  467. 13:34tends to be wider so if you don't
  468. 13:36understand what the spread means right
  469. 13:37don't worry
  470. 13:37as you progress on your trading journey
  471. 13:39you understand but in essence right the
  472. 13:40transaction cost to trade
  473. 13:42exotic currency pairs they are more
  474. 13:43expensive compared to the
  475. 13:45major currency pairs so a quick recap
  476. 13:47number one currencies they are traded in
  477. 13:49pairs not as a standalone
  478. 13:50the base currency is the first currency
  479. 13:52in the pair the code currency is the
  480. 13:54second currency in a pair
  481. 13:56and then there are three types of
  482. 13:57currency pairs major cross and exotics
  483. 14:00so with that said let's move on
  484. 14:04so moving on in this section you will
  485. 14:06learn number one what is a bit
  486. 14:08number two what is a paypal and number
  487. 14:10three how to read a currency pair
  488. 14:12code so let's get started so first and
  489. 14:14foremost right what is
  490. 14:16a pip a pip stands for percentage in
  491. 14:18point in essence right what it's trying
  492. 14:19to do is to measure
  493. 14:21it's a measure right of a change in
  494. 14:22value in the currency pair
  495. 14:24don't worry we'll get to that later so a
  496. 14:27pip right remember it's the fourth
  497. 14:29decimal place in the currency pair code
  498. 14:31so let me explain right let me give an
  499. 14:33example
  500. 14:33so let's see let's say right euro
  501. 14:35against the us dollar moves from 1.3500
  502. 14:38to 1.3505
  503. 14:40now let me ask you where is where
  504. 14:44is the number to look at when you want
  505. 14:45to find out what is the the p value
  506. 14:47change so remember
  507. 14:48pip is the fourth decimal place so this
  508. 14:50is basically the fourth number
  509. 14:51after this dot so one two three four
  510. 14:53you're looking at this number here
  511. 14:55so you're comparing the difference
  512. 14:56between this number here and this
  513. 14:58number here okay so quiz time
  514. 15:01how many pips difference is this so
  515. 15:04let's find out
  516. 15:05an answer is quite straightforward this
  517. 15:06is actually an increase right of five
  518. 15:08pips from 1.3500 to 1.3505
  519. 15:12it's a difference of five pips so you
  520. 15:14can see right the last
  521. 15:15digit the fourth decimal placing digit
  522. 15:17right it has moved from zero
  523. 15:19to five that's an increase of five pips
  524. 15:23let's do another example let's say this
  525. 15:24time around the euro
  526. 15:26against the dollar moves from 1.3400
  527. 15:29to 1.3350 now how many pips
  528. 15:33is this right let's uh give you five
  529. 15:35seconds to figure this out
  530. 15:36one two three four five okay so the
  531. 15:39answer is
  532. 15:40a decrease of 50 pips so in essence
  533. 15:42right this uh
  534. 15:44euro against the dollar it has dropped
  535. 15:4650 pips from 1.3400 to 1.3350
  536. 15:50so quick tip that i have for you that if
  537. 15:51you have difficulty you you know using
  538. 15:53your fingers counting and stuff like
  539. 15:54that you just take a calculator
  540. 15:56take this last four digit minus this
  541. 15:58last four digit and you'll get 50.
  542. 16:00okay that's another way to go about it
  543. 16:03so moving on one thing to share is that
  544. 16:06the yen pairs they are special they are
  545. 16:08not like you know the other currency
  546. 16:09pairs where the
  547. 16:10pip right is at the fourth decimal place
  548. 16:12for yen pairs like you know the dollar
  549. 16:13against the japanese year and the pound
  550. 16:15against the japanese yen
  551. 16:16the pip value is the second decimal
  552. 16:19place so bear this in mind only for yen
  553. 16:20pairs the
  554. 16:22pit value or under the the peak check
  555. 16:24the
  556. 16:25the peak when you look at the currency
  557. 16:26code right is at the second decimal
  558. 16:28place
  559. 16:29so let me give you an example let's say
  560. 16:31the dollar against the japanese yen
  561. 16:33moves from 100.10 to 100.15
  562. 16:37how many pips is that how many
  563. 16:41uh how much pips did this pair move
  564. 16:44again very simple you can just
  565. 16:45remember second decimal place is where
  566. 16:47you look at
  567. 16:48for the pit for en pair so you just take
  568. 16:5415 minus 10 and the answer is an
  569. 16:57increase of
  570. 16:585 pips next one another example
  571. 17:02let's say the dollar against the
  572. 17:03japanese yen moves from 100.25 to 100.1
  573. 17:07how many pips difference is this again
  574. 17:09very simple take the uh
  575. 17:121 0 which is 10 minus 25 and you get
  576. 17:16a decrease of 15 pips and this is in
  577. 17:18essence right how you
  578. 17:20you are measure right how many pips a
  579. 17:23currency pair
  580. 17:24has moved and to take things a step
  581. 17:26further because the forex got you know
  582. 17:28like to make your life a bit more
  583. 17:29difficult
  584. 17:29there's another thing called a pipette
  585. 17:32and in essence right a pipe is simply
  586. 17:35known as
  587. 17:36fractional pips they are 110 the value
  588. 17:39of a pit
  589. 17:40confusing don't worry an example usually
  590. 17:42solves your pain
  591. 17:44so and one thing to bear in mind is that
  592. 17:46a pipette is the fifth
  593. 17:47decimal place for most currency pairs
  594. 17:50for the yen pairs
  595. 17:51it's the third decimal place so an
  596. 17:54example
  597. 17:54would ease your pain let's say euro
  598. 17:57against the dollar moves from one three
  599. 17:58five zero zero five
  600. 18:00which this one here is the pipette to
  601. 18:031.3505 seven this seven here is the
  602. 18:06pipette value
  603. 18:08so how many pips movement is this
  604. 18:11so again you just do a simple math you
  605. 18:13will realize that this is an increase
  606. 18:15of 5.2 pips makes sense i know
  607. 18:18it makes sense right so let's do a quick
  608. 18:20recap
  609. 18:21number one a pip is a measure of a
  610. 18:23change in value right in the currency
  611. 18:25pair
  612. 18:26it's the fourth decimal place for most
  613. 18:28currency pairs except the yen which is
  614. 18:29the third decimal place
  615. 18:31if you want to be a little bit more you
  616. 18:32know particular there's something called
  617. 18:33the pipette which is
  618. 18:34in essence 110 of a pip
  619. 18:46so in this section what will you learn
  620. 18:48you will learn
  621. 18:49number one what is leverage number two
  622. 18:52how leverage
  623. 18:53affects your trading and finally what
  624. 18:55are the different types of forex
  625. 18:57lot sizes so let's get started what is
  626. 19:00leverage
  627. 19:01how leverage affects your trading and
  628. 19:04what are the different types of
  629. 19:05forex lot sizes so let's begin
  630. 19:08so what is leverage so intuitively i
  631. 19:10know you know
  632. 19:12what leverage means but let's explain
  633. 19:14this when it comes to the forex markets
  634. 19:16so leverage is in essence right the
  635. 19:18ability to trade
  636. 19:20a larger amount of money relative to
  637. 19:22your account size
  638. 19:23and leverage is a double h so and i'll
  639. 19:26explain
  640. 19:27more so let me give you an example let's
  641. 19:29say you have a thousand dollars in your
  642. 19:31trading account and you buy
  643. 19:3210 000 worth of euro usd
  644. 19:36this means you borrow the extra nine
  645. 19:38thousand dollars
  646. 19:40to trade and if you want to measure the
  647. 19:43leverage this is a leverage of one to
  648. 19:44ten why is this a one to ten you take
  649. 19:46the ten thousand dollars
  650. 19:47that is worth of the euro usd divided by
  651. 19:50the initial capital that you have in
  652. 19:51your account
  653. 19:52and you get 10 so this is a leverage of
  654. 19:541 to 10.
  655. 19:56now the question is what if euro usd
  656. 19:58goes up how does leverage
  657. 19:59impact your trading so recall you have a
  658. 20:02thousand dollars
  659. 20:03account and you buy 10 dollars worth of
  660. 20:05euro usd
  661. 20:07your ten thousand dollars is now worth
  662. 20:09eleven thousand dollars
  663. 20:10why eleven thousand dollars very simple
  664. 20:12you just take ten thousand dollars
  665. 20:14and you multiply by one point one
  666. 20:17because you actually
  667. 20:18earn 10 because this currency pair went
  668. 20:21up 10
  669. 20:21so 10 000 minus or rather multiplied by
  670. 20:241.1
  671. 20:25is equal to 11 000 or if you look at it
  672. 20:27another way 10
  673. 20:28of 10 000 is one thousand one thousand
  674. 20:30plus ten thousand equals to eleven
  675. 20:31thousand that's another way to to do it
  676. 20:34next you return the nine thousand
  677. 20:35dollars that you owe what you're left
  678. 20:38with is the two thousand dollars
  679. 20:39and remember the two thousand dollars
  680. 20:41right what you had initially at the
  681. 20:42start was a thousand dollars so in other
  682. 20:44words your profit is
  683. 20:47one thousand dollars all right two
  684. 20:48thousand dollars minus your original
  685. 20:50capital that you started with you made a
  686. 20:51profit of
  687. 20:52a thousand dollars on this particular
  688. 20:54trade and i know man
  689. 20:55this looks easy man i'm gonna be the
  690. 20:57next market wizard millionaire trader
  691. 20:59well not so far as my young part padawan
  692. 21:01because what if
  693. 21:03euro usd goes down 10 and how would this
  694. 21:05change
  695. 21:06so now recall you have a thousand
  696. 21:07dollars account and you buy ten thousand
  697. 21:09dollars worth of euro usd your ten
  698. 21:12thousand dollars is now worth nine
  699. 21:13thousand
  700. 21:13why is that because ten thousand okay if
  701. 21:16you lose ten percent of your capital
  702. 21:18now it's worth nine thousand dollars you
  703. 21:21return the nine thousand dollars that
  704. 21:22you owe
  705. 21:23you're left with zero dollars in fact i
  706. 21:25have no idea why there's four zeros here
  707. 21:26but
  708. 21:27zero is zero is zero okay and your
  709. 21:29original capital is a thousand dollars
  710. 21:31so this means your loss
  711. 21:33is a thousand dollars because you
  712. 21:34started off with a thousand dollars and
  713. 21:35you're left with
  714. 21:36zero zero zero zero so in other words
  715. 21:38you lost a thousand dollars
  716. 21:40so the key thing to point out is that
  717. 21:43leverage can amplify your gains
  718. 21:45and losses so if you think about this if
  719. 21:47without leverage
  720. 21:48this right would have been a 10 loss to
  721. 21:50you but because you used leverage
  722. 21:52you lost 100 instead of 10 so likewise
  723. 21:55when you had a gain earlier
  724. 21:58when you had a profit when the market
  725. 21:59went up ten percent if you didn't use
  726. 22:01leverage that would be
  727. 22:02a profit of ten percent for you but
  728. 22:04because you use a one to ten leverage
  729. 22:05it is amplified ten times you made a
  730. 22:07profit of a hundred
  731. 22:08percent so in this case it's a thousand
  732. 22:11dollars but in percentage term is 100
  733. 22:13okay so this is uh pretty much the key
  734. 22:15thing that i want to point across is
  735. 22:16that leverage
  736. 22:17it can amplify your gains and losses and
  737. 22:19for this case in this example you lost
  738. 22:21100 of your capital because uh you use a
  739. 22:241 to 10 leverage
  740. 22:25if you didn't use leverage at all there
  741. 22:26would be a 10 loss of your capital
  742. 22:29moving on right i want to talk about
  743. 22:31forex lot sizes so
  744. 22:32what are the different types of forex
  745. 22:34slot size out there number one
  746. 22:36we have a standard lot which is
  747. 22:38equivalent to a hundred thousand
  748. 22:40units so when you key in a hundred
  749. 22:41thousand units to buy in your forex
  750. 22:43broker you are
  751. 22:44essentially buying one standard lot then
  752. 22:47below that we have a mini lot which is
  753. 22:4910 000 units followed by micro lot which
  754. 22:53is a thousand
  755. 22:54units and smaller than micro lot we even
  756. 22:57have
  757. 22:57nano lot which is a hundred units
  758. 23:01so one thing to point out is that you
  759. 23:02can trade fractional lot sizes it
  760. 23:04doesn't mean that you only can trade one
  761. 23:05standard lot one mini lot
  762. 23:06or five standard lots you can you know
  763. 23:08break it up and trade something like 1.3
  764. 23:10standard lot you can trade 2.5 mini lots
  765. 23:133.7 mini lots 2.6 standard lot
  766. 23:171.5 micro lots it is all possible right
  767. 23:20when trading the forex market so in a
  768. 23:22way you can you know better manage your
  769. 23:24risk as i will explain
  770. 23:25how that will work in the later section
  771. 23:28so let's do a quick recap number one
  772. 23:31leverage is the ability right to trade a
  773. 23:32larger amount of money
  774. 23:33relative to your account size and yes
  775. 23:36you have seen right leverage is a double
  776. 23:37double h
  777. 23:38so it can amplify your gains or losses
  778. 23:40and finally we talk about you know the
  779. 23:42different types of load sizes in the
  780. 23:43forex market standard lot
  781. 23:45micro lot mini lot and nano lots
  782. 23:48okay so in this section you will learn
  783. 23:50what is a pip value
  784. 23:52and how to calculate a pip value so what
  785. 23:55is a pip value so a pip value in essence
  786. 23:57is trying to answer the question how
  787. 23:58much is
  788. 23:58one pip worth and to find that out right
  789. 24:01you need to answer two questions
  790. 24:03number one the lot size that you're
  791. 24:04trading and number two the code currency
  792. 24:07of the currency pair so let me explain
  793. 24:09number one the lot size
  794. 24:10so as you know right in the forex market
  795. 24:13there are different lot sizes you know
  796. 24:14standard lot mini lot etc so one
  797. 24:16standard lot right is actually
  798. 24:18equivalent to a hundred thousand units
  799. 24:20and it's worth
  800. 24:21ten dollars per pip
  801. 24:24one mini lot is ten thousand units and
  802. 24:26it's worth a dollar a pip
  803. 24:28and one micro lot is a one thousand
  804. 24:30units which is 10 cent per pip or 0.1
  805. 24:32dollars
  806. 24:33a pip and one thing to point out is
  807. 24:3610 mini lots is actually equivalent to
  808. 24:38one
  809. 24:39standard lot because if you look at this
  810. 24:4010 000 units you multiply by 10 is 100
  811. 24:42000 units so in other words 10 mini lot
  812. 24:44is one standard lot so needless to say
  813. 24:4610 micro lots
  814. 24:48is equals to one mini lot right a
  815. 24:49thousand units you multiply by 10
  816. 24:51gives you 10 000 units so 10 micro lots
  817. 24:5510 micro lots is one mini lot as well
  818. 24:57okay so so bear this in mind
  819. 25:00and this holds true only if your code
  820. 25:02currency is
  821. 25:03in us dollar like euro dollar aussie
  822. 25:05dollar new zealand dollar etc
  823. 25:08so clearly right what if your code
  824. 25:10currency is not in u.s dollar so this is
  825. 25:12why we need to look at the second thing
  826. 25:14which is your
  827. 25:15code currency so let's say for example
  828. 25:17if the code currency is in euro
  829. 25:19then one standard lot clearly is 10 euro
  830. 25:22a bit one mini lot is one euro a pip
  831. 25:26and one micro lot is 0.1 euro per bit
  832. 25:29makes sense all right so far so good so
  833. 25:31let's have a look at an example
  834. 25:33you trade euro usd and buy 2.3 standard
  835. 25:36lots
  836. 25:37how much is the value per pip so if you
  837. 25:39just you know look at this
  838. 25:41you know that 2.3 standard lot
  839. 25:44is equals to two standard lot and three
  840. 25:47mini log that's one way to look at it or
  841. 25:49you can look at it as
  842. 25:5023 mini lot that is the same thing so
  843. 25:53depending how you want to look at this
  844. 25:54let's say let's treat it as 23 mini lot
  845. 25:57we know one mini lot is worth one dollar
  846. 26:00per bit okay so clearly 23 mini lot
  847. 26:03means it's 23 per pip
  848. 26:06and there you have it moving on next
  849. 26:09example
  850. 26:10let's say you trade the pound against
  851. 26:12the aussie dollar and by 5.5
  852. 26:14mini lots how much is the value per pip
  853. 26:16so again just remember the two things i
  854. 26:18shared with you number one
  855. 26:20what is the lot size trader 5.5 mini
  856. 26:22lots okay great next thing what is the
  857. 26:24code currency
  858. 26:25aussie dollar great you know one mini
  859. 26:27lot is worth one dollar
  860. 26:295.5 mini lots means it's 5.5 dollars
  861. 26:34so what is the currency the code
  862. 26:36currency this is aussie dollar so it's
  863. 26:375.5
  864. 26:38aussie dollar per pay
  865. 26:42okay great so that should be the answer
  866. 26:44so if you look at the answer
  867. 26:46it's 5.5 how do i know this because i
  868. 26:49did these slides and
  869. 26:50and uh clearly i don't know what's the
  870. 26:51answer so yeah there you have it that's
  871. 26:53the answer
  872. 26:54so all this actually would be useful to
  873. 26:56you if right let's say your let's say
  874. 26:58right now
  875. 26:58your account currency is in australian
  876. 27:01dollar and yeah 5.5
  877. 27:02aussie dollar per that would make sense
  878. 27:04but of course as you know
  879. 27:05there is no guarantee that the code
  880. 27:07currency will be the same currency as
  881. 27:09your account funding maybe you could
  882. 27:10find it in us dollar
  883. 27:11you could find it in singapore dollars
  884. 27:13it could be different so how do you
  885. 27:14actually
  886. 27:15translate this value into your own
  887. 27:17account currency
  888. 27:18if your own account currency is
  889. 27:20different from the code currency
  890. 27:21so this is where we can take things a
  891. 27:23step further and to find out the pip
  892. 27:25value in your accounts
  893. 27:26currency if the currency is different
  894. 27:28from the code currency
  895. 27:30so again you need a few things number
  896. 27:31one the lot size number two is the code
  897. 27:33currency and number three is the
  898. 27:34exchange rate between the code currency
  899. 27:36and your
  900. 27:37accounts currency so let me give you an
  901. 27:39example because example is your pay
  902. 27:41number one let's say you buy one
  903. 27:43standard lot of euro usd
  904. 27:46your account currency is in singapore
  905. 27:48dollars
  906. 27:49the exchange rate between the usd and
  907. 27:51sgd is 1.3
  908. 27:53how much is the value per pip so let's
  909. 27:54again right do this a simple
  910. 27:56exercise you know one standard lot is
  911. 27:58100 000 units reynolds say one
  912. 28:00standalone is worth 10
  913. 28:01per bit okay 10 per bit
  914. 28:05then you realize that your
  915. 28:08account currency is different from the
  916. 28:12code currency so what now so what you
  917. 28:14need to do is to
  918. 28:16to convert right usd into sgd as you
  919. 28:18know right now
  920. 28:19one usd is worth 1.3 sgd so this means
  921. 28:23one us dollar is worth one dollar 30
  922. 28:26cents singapore dollar so if you want to
  923. 28:27convert
  924. 28:28this 10 us dollars into singapore
  925. 28:29dollars i just take this multiplied by
  926. 28:311.3
  927. 28:33and i have a figure of 13 singapore
  928. 28:35dollars
  929. 28:36sgd okay and that's the answer right the
  930. 28:39value profit will be 13
  931. 28:40singapore dollars per bit and there you
  932. 28:43have it right in case you want to know
  933. 28:44the
  934. 28:45kind of like the math breakdown is 10
  935. 28:47usd per bit multiplied by 1.3 because
  936. 28:49it's the exchange rate between us and
  937. 28:51singapore dollars
  938. 28:52and you get 13 singapore dollars per pip
  939. 28:55another example shall we to really
  940. 28:56hammer home this concept
  941. 28:58you buy two standard lots of pound
  942. 29:01against the new zealand dollar
  943. 29:03your account currency is in canadian
  944. 29:05dollars the exchange rate for new
  945. 29:07zealand canadian is 1.5
  946. 29:09how much is the value per pick so i'm
  947. 29:11going to give you
  948. 29:12five seconds to do this i'm just kidding
  949. 29:14five seconds too fast i'm gonna do this
  950. 29:15together with you
  951. 29:16and let's find this out but you know
  952. 29:18kind of like you know pause this video
  953. 29:19and do it on your own if you wish to
  954. 29:21if not i'm gonna walk you through how to
  955. 29:23do this step by step so again first
  956. 29:24thing first
  957. 29:25is the number of lots we are trading two
  958. 29:27standard lots you know that's equals to
  959. 29:2920 new zealand dollar per pip
  960. 29:34okay if you do not know why it's 20 go
  961. 29:36and look back at the earlier slide so it
  962. 29:38makes sense
  963. 29:39your account currency is in canadian
  964. 29:40dollar exchange rate between new zealand
  965. 29:42and canadian
  966. 29:43canadian dollar is 1.5 so what i need to
  967. 29:45do is for to find out
  968. 29:47how much is 20 new zealand dollar worth
  969. 29:49in canadian dollars how much is that
  970. 29:51very simple just multiplied by the
  971. 29:53exchange rate this prevailing exchange
  972. 29:54rate
  973. 29:55of course this is not a real number i
  974. 29:56just came up with this if you just look
  975. 29:57at the normal forex website you will
  976. 29:58have
  977. 29:59you can find out what's the prevailing
  978. 30:00exchange rate so 20 i multiply by 1.5 it
  979. 30:03will
  980. 30:04give me right how much 20 or rather 20
  981. 30:06new zealand dollars
  982. 30:08is worth in canadian dollars an answer
  983. 30:10is 30. 30 canadian dollars
  984. 30:13per pip okay so let's have a
  985. 30:17look tada okay so so yeah so with that
  986. 30:21said right
  987. 30:22let's do a quick recap number one your
  988. 30:24pip value depends on a few things
  989. 30:26the lot size the code currency and
  990. 30:29finally right the exchange rate between
  991. 30:30the code currency and your account
  992. 30:32currency if they are different if they
  993. 30:33are the same then you just need the
  994. 30:34first two things
  995. 30:35and you can find out what is the pip
  996. 30:37value
  997. 30:41so in this section you will learn number
  998. 30:44one what is risk management and why
  999. 30:46it matters number two what is position
  1000. 30:49sizing and finally how to calculate your
  1001. 30:51position size such that you never blow
  1002. 30:54up
  1003. 30:54blow up another trading account so this
  1004. 30:56topic that i'm about to share with you
  1005. 30:58is very important right so pay close
  1006. 31:00attention
  1007. 31:01so first and foremost what is risk
  1008. 31:03management so
  1009. 31:04if you ask me risk management is the
  1010. 31:05ability as a trader to encounter a
  1011. 31:08series of losses right and not
  1012. 31:10blow up your trading account so for
  1013. 31:11example even if you sustain a series of
  1014. 31:1310 losses in a row
  1015. 31:15your trading account should be pretty
  1016. 31:17much still intact yes you have a bit
  1017. 31:19of a losses along the way but that
  1018. 31:20account right should still have
  1019. 31:22still have most of the money intact so
  1020. 31:24that's what risk management is all about
  1021. 31:27so it's important because you can have a
  1022. 31:29winning trading strategy but without
  1023. 31:32proper risk management right you will
  1024. 31:33still end up
  1025. 31:34a losing trader i can guarantee it so
  1026. 31:36let me share with you an example so you
  1027. 31:38know what i mean
  1028. 31:39so let's say for example there are two
  1029. 31:40traders john and sally and they both
  1030. 31:42have
  1031. 31:43a 1 000 trading account to start with
  1032. 31:46their trading strategy has a 50 winning
  1033. 31:49rate so this means they win half the
  1034. 31:50time and a one to two
  1035. 31:52risk reward ratio so let me explain what
  1036. 31:54risk reward ratio is
  1037. 31:56so let's say for example you risk
  1038. 31:59a hundred dollars on a trade okay that's
  1039. 32:02the amount of money that you're willing
  1040. 32:03to lose on a particular trade
  1041. 32:05and the outcome for you is favorable
  1042. 32:07instead of losing hundred dollars right
  1043. 32:08the market went in your favor and you
  1044. 32:10made a profit of 200
  1045. 32:12so in other words this 200 right is two
  1046. 32:14times the amount that you had intended
  1047. 32:17to risk initially so this is what we
  1048. 32:18call
  1049. 32:19a one to two risk reward ratio your
  1050. 32:21reward right it's two times
  1051. 32:22your initial risk so another example
  1052. 32:24let's say you have a
  1053. 32:26500 risk on the trade and instead of you
  1054. 32:29know
  1055. 32:30losing the 500 market went in your favor
  1056. 32:32and you
  1057. 32:33made five thousand dollars in state what
  1058. 32:35is the risk to reward ratio on this
  1059. 32:37trade
  1060. 32:37this is a risk to reward ratio of a one
  1061. 32:39to ten you were risking at five hundred
  1062. 32:41dollars and you made five thousand
  1063. 32:42dollars
  1064. 32:43at the end of it so this is a risk
  1065. 32:45reward ratio of one to ten
  1066. 32:48next john risks 250 per trade and sally
  1067. 32:52risk twenty dollars per trade
  1068. 32:56let's say the outcome of the trades for
  1069. 32:57both of them is in this
  1070. 32:59sequence right l stands for losing right
  1071. 33:01lose lose lose
  1072. 33:02lose then win win win win so now what
  1073. 33:06is the outcome for both traders let's
  1074. 33:08look at john you can see for john
  1075. 33:10he loses 250 because the first trade is
  1076. 33:13a loser
  1077. 33:14loses another 250 another 250 another
  1078. 33:16250 and then he blew up
  1079. 33:18so before he could even smell the winner
  1080. 33:20he lost his entire trading account
  1081. 33:23on the other hand let's have a look at
  1082. 33:24sally
  1083. 33:26as you can see sally goes through the
  1084. 33:27same losing streak right she loses 20
  1085. 33:29dollars
  1086. 33:30lose 20 lose 20 lose 20 and then she
  1087. 33:32made 40
  1088. 33:3340 40 and 40 because this was a string
  1089. 33:36of winners at the end
  1090. 33:37but why forty dollars again because we
  1091. 33:39have a one to two risk reward ratio
  1092. 33:41right
  1093. 33:41for their trading strategy so if sally
  1094. 33:44risk twenty dollars on each trade and if
  1095. 33:46the market
  1096. 33:46or rather if she achieves a one to two
  1097. 33:48risk reward ratio this means a profit
  1098. 33:50is two times the initial risk so two
  1099. 33:52times of 20 is forty dollars so this is
  1100. 33:54how
  1101. 33:54we get forty dollars and at the end of
  1102. 33:56it sally made
  1103. 33:58a total return of eighty dollars so
  1104. 33:59that's about eight percent gain
  1105. 34:01on her account whereas you look at john
  1106. 34:04he actually lost 100 of his account so
  1107. 34:07hopefully right
  1108. 34:08using this simple example you can see
  1109. 34:10the importance of risk management
  1110. 34:12right in this case both traders they are
  1111. 34:13trading with a winning strategy
  1112. 34:15but because of risk management one of
  1113. 34:18them loses his entire account and the
  1114. 34:19other one
  1115. 34:20is actually you know making some money
  1116. 34:22right from trading the markets so this
  1117. 34:23is important
  1118. 34:24so now the question you might be
  1119. 34:25thinking okay right now i get it right
  1120. 34:27risk management is important but how do
  1121. 34:29i
  1122. 34:29manage my risk you know how do i make
  1123. 34:31sure that every time i put on a trade
  1124. 34:33right i don't lose everything and more
  1125. 34:34so this is where the next topic comes
  1126. 34:36into play
  1127. 34:38position sizing so what is position
  1128. 34:40sizing so position sizing is
  1129. 34:42simply right trading the right number of
  1130. 34:43units right such that
  1131. 34:45even if a trade ends up being a loser
  1132. 34:48it's only a fraction of your trading
  1133. 34:49account
  1134. 34:50okay let me repeat once again right
  1135. 34:52position sizing is
  1136. 34:54knowing right how many units you should
  1137. 34:56trade
  1138. 34:57such that if that trade goes against you
  1139. 34:59you only lose a fraction of your trading
  1140. 35:01account and as a general guideline i
  1141. 35:03usually advocate right
  1142. 35:04not to lose more than one percent of
  1143. 35:06your trading account on each trade so
  1144. 35:08for example let's say if your account is
  1145. 35:09like a
  1146. 35:10ten thousand dollars trading account one
  1147. 35:12percent of ten thousand is a hundred
  1148. 35:13dollars so this means every trade you
  1149. 35:15put on
  1150. 35:15you should not lose more than 100 on
  1151. 35:18each trade
  1152. 35:19and now brings us to the question right
  1153. 35:21how do we you know
  1154. 35:22calculate that in such a manner where
  1155. 35:24you know you know you will lose more
  1156. 35:25than 100
  1157. 35:26on each trade so to do that you need to
  1158. 35:28know a few things okay so
  1159. 35:30this is kind of like the secret formula
  1160. 35:32right so position size is equals to the
  1161. 35:34amount
  1162. 35:34to risk right the amount of uh dollar
  1163. 35:37that you're willing to risk
  1164. 35:38divided by a stop loss multiplied by
  1165. 35:40value per pip so amount to risk is
  1166. 35:41usually i
  1167. 35:42recommend one percent risk on each trade
  1168. 35:44some some traders will go with two or
  1169. 35:45three percent
  1170. 35:46uh that's pretty much you know up to an
  1171. 35:48individual trader and after which you
  1172. 35:49divide it by your stop-loss multiplied
  1173. 35:51by your value per bit
  1174. 35:52so i'm going to share with you a very
  1175. 35:53simple uh way to do this okay you don't
  1176. 35:57have to so i'll just
  1177. 35:58go with you a manual way and then after
  1178. 36:00which i show you how to do with a faster
  1179. 36:01way so let's say you're risking 100
  1180. 36:04you're willing to raise 100 and let's
  1181. 36:05say you know your stop loss is let's say
  1182. 36:07100 pips okay so you put 100
  1183. 36:09and your value per pip right let's say
  1184. 36:10you're trading euro usd is
  1185. 36:12uh 10 per bit for a standard lot so you
  1186. 36:14put your 10
  1187. 36:15okay you plug in the numbers you get 100
  1188. 36:18divide by a thousand
  1189. 36:20and if you do it you end up with 0.1
  1190. 36:23standard lot which is equivalent to one
  1191. 36:26mini lot
  1192. 36:27so the trouble with this is that your
  1193. 36:30value per bit
  1194. 36:30is constantly changing it really depends
  1195. 36:32on the code currency it depends on the
  1196. 36:34account funding that
  1197. 36:36you have funded with with your account
  1198. 36:37so you can see that you know things can
  1199. 36:39get really cumbersome right so
  1200. 36:40one thing i suggest is to use a position
  1201. 36:43sizing calculator to make your life
  1202. 36:44really easy and i'm going to show you
  1203. 36:45how to do this step by step
  1204. 36:48so you can google you know position
  1205. 36:49sizing calculator and this is one that
  1206. 36:50i've
  1207. 36:51found you can you know use it it's free
  1208. 36:53so let's say you're trading again euro
  1209. 36:54usd
  1210. 36:55your account currency let's say it's in
  1211. 36:56us dollar let's say your account size is
  1212. 36:58like what i said earlier ten thousand
  1213. 36:59dollars
  1214. 37:00and your risk on each trade let's say
  1215. 37:02it's one percent you can put your one
  1216. 37:03percent
  1217. 37:04in this case you ever switch to you know
  1218. 37:05dollar terms let's say you want to risk
  1219. 37:07a hundred dollars
  1220. 37:08which is also one percent that is fine
  1221. 37:09as well but in this case let's go with
  1222. 37:11the percentage
  1223. 37:12let's say one percent let's say your
  1224. 37:13stop loss in pips right is 100 pips put
  1225. 37:15in hundred
  1226. 37:16contract size let's leave it at hundred
  1227. 37:18thousand which is equal to one standard
  1228. 37:20lot
  1229. 37:20you click calculate and there you have
  1230. 37:22it right tells you the lots to trade is
  1231. 37:230.1 which is equals to
  1232. 37:250.1 standard lot or one mini lot can you
  1233. 37:28see how fast this is
  1234. 37:29let's do another example let's say this
  1235. 37:30time around you're not trading euro usd
  1236. 37:32you're trading pound against the aussie
  1237. 37:34let's say your account currency is in
  1238. 37:36new zealand dollars okay and let's say
  1239. 37:38this time you're a baller your account
  1240. 37:39size is hundred thousand dollars
  1241. 37:41and you're a baller and you still risk
  1242. 37:44one percent on this trade well done and
  1243. 37:46let's say your stop-loss this time
  1244. 37:48around is 350 pips
  1245. 37:49contract size again hundred thousand you
  1246. 37:51click calculate it will tell you
  1247. 37:52how many units to trade right such that
  1248. 37:55if even if the trade hits your
  1249. 37:57stop loss you will only lose one percent
  1250. 37:59of your account so you click calculate
  1251. 38:01and in this case it tells you that you
  1252. 38:02can trade 0.263
  1253. 38:04standard lot which is about 26 uh sorry
  1254. 38:07uh
  1255. 38:082.63 mini lots make sense so again this
  1256. 38:11is very useful so
  1257. 38:12again let's you know interpret this
  1258. 38:14together so this means right
  1259. 38:16for this particular pound or z trade and
  1260. 38:18let's say your account is in new zealand
  1261. 38:19dollars
  1262. 38:19and you're risking one percent of this
  1263. 38:21hundred thousand dollars this means
  1264. 38:22right if
  1265. 38:23the trade goes against you right with a
  1266. 38:25stop loss of 350 pips right
  1267. 38:27you will lose right a thousand dollars
  1268. 38:30thousand new zealand dollars right in
  1269. 38:32your trading account which is the one
  1270. 38:33percent that we have defined
  1271. 38:34over here right and this is the position
  1272. 38:36size that you should be trading with
  1273. 38:372.6 mini lots okay it makes sense
  1274. 38:42so this is how you use a position sizing
  1275. 38:44calculator so okay let's do one more
  1276. 38:45example so you really understand this
  1277. 38:47big time
  1278. 38:48so let's say this timer we do something
  1279. 38:49simple like aussie dollar you want to
  1280. 38:50trade the aussie against the us dollar
  1281. 38:52let's say your account currency is in
  1282. 38:55aussie how about that
  1283. 38:56same uh just put aussie dollar let's say
  1284. 38:58your account size this time around is
  1285. 39:00five thousand dollars
  1286. 39:01and let's say you are risking a little
  1287. 39:03bit more two percent risk on each trade
  1288. 39:04which is still about
  1289. 39:06uh hundred dollars so your stop loss
  1290. 39:08this time around let's say it's only 50
  1291. 39:09pips
  1292. 39:10okay contract size again hundred
  1293. 39:11thousand units so now the question is
  1294. 39:13how many
  1295. 39:14units right should you be trading such
  1296. 39:16that if this trade goes against you and
  1297. 39:18hit your 50 pip loss
  1298. 39:19the loss of on this trade is only two
  1299. 39:21percent of your account two percent of
  1300. 39:22this five
  1301. 39:22thousand dollars five thousand aussie
  1302. 39:25dollars
  1303. 39:26click calculate and it tells you that
  1304. 39:27you should only be trading 1.53
  1305. 39:30mini lots make sense okay so don't worry
  1306. 39:32i'll share with you uh
  1307. 39:33uh we'll talk more about you know
  1308. 39:34position sizing risk management with
  1309. 39:36chart examples later on but for now i
  1310. 39:38just want you to
  1311. 39:38to know how to use this very useful
  1312. 39:40calculator just click google there are
  1313. 39:42many free available ones and just pick
  1314. 39:44whichever that you know you're
  1315. 39:45comfortable with so let's do a quick
  1316. 39:48recap number one position sizing is the
  1317. 39:50tool to manage your risk
  1318. 39:52and use a position a position sizing
  1319. 39:55calculator right to make your life
  1320. 39:56easier i don't expect you to
  1321. 39:58manually you know calculate it most
  1322. 39:59brokers usually have an inbuilt
  1323. 40:01calculator function if it doesn't have
  1324. 40:02right then just you know you go to any
  1325. 40:04of the free website
  1326. 40:05via google and you can use the
  1327. 40:07calculator to help you calculate the
  1328. 40:08number of units to trade such that you
  1329. 40:10know
  1330. 40:11even if the trade is a losing trade
  1331. 40:12right you only lose a fraction of your
  1332. 40:14account
  1333. 40:15now moving on let's talk about the
  1334. 40:18different types
  1335. 40:19of forex orders right so in this section
  1336. 40:21it's all about you know learning the
  1337. 40:22different types of forex orders and one
  1338. 40:24thing to point out is that
  1339. 40:25uh there are many more different types
  1340. 40:27of orders that you can use especially
  1341. 40:28when you're using professional trading
  1342. 40:30platforms but the ones that i'm about to
  1343. 40:32share with you right now is i would say
  1344. 40:33the ones that you are likely to use
  1345. 40:34right most of the time
  1346. 40:36okay so let's get started first one
  1347. 40:39market order second one is a limit order
  1348. 40:41third one is a stock order and finally a
  1349. 40:42stop loss
  1350. 40:43order so let me explain each one of them
  1351. 40:45step by step
  1352. 40:46first one is a market order so let's say
  1353. 40:48it's a buy market order order
  1354. 40:50because it could also be a sell market
  1355. 40:53or the concept is the same but in this
  1356. 40:54case
  1357. 40:55let's go with let's let's say a buy
  1358. 40:56market order this is in essence right
  1359. 40:58you're trying to you know
  1360. 41:00buy at the current market price right
  1361. 41:03now no matter what so this is like you
  1362. 41:04know sending an
  1363. 41:05order to your brokerage platform and say
  1364. 41:06hey i want to enter euro usd
  1365. 41:08right now no matter what now so your
  1366. 41:11broker will fill you
  1367. 41:12at a trade at the current prevailing
  1368. 41:14price
  1369. 41:15so the pros to it is that you know
  1370. 41:18you're guaranteed to enter a trade there
  1371. 41:20is no
  1372. 41:20what if but or whatsoever you're
  1373. 41:22guaranteed to enter a trade but the
  1374. 41:23downside to this
  1375. 41:24is you might get sleep page right during
  1376. 41:27fast
  1377. 41:27moving markets and you might be thinking
  1378. 41:29right now what is slippage man
  1379. 41:31so here's the thing right in the forex
  1380. 41:32market yes it's liquid
  1381. 41:34most of the time but when it when
  1382. 41:36there's a big piece of news coming up
  1383. 41:38like let's say you know
  1384. 41:38nfp non-farm payrolls or fomc meetings
  1385. 41:41right let's say euro usd is currently
  1386. 41:42trading at one three
  1387. 41:43zero zero zero right but during fast
  1388. 41:46moving markets
  1389. 41:47you if you hit market order right you
  1390. 41:48could get slippage right where you
  1391. 41:50thought hey
  1392. 41:50i'm gonna buy a 1.3 but you end up you
  1393. 41:52know buying actually at one three
  1394. 41:53zero let's say two zero you had end up
  1395. 41:56paying 20 pips more than expected so
  1396. 41:58this is kind of like the downside to
  1397. 41:59using market order because of this uh
  1398. 42:01slippages so instead of you know buying
  1399. 42:02at one point three zero zero zero you
  1400. 42:04end up buying at one point three zero
  1401. 42:05two zero
  1402. 42:06a slippage of 20 pips so in other words
  1403. 42:08you're paying 20 pips more than
  1404. 42:10you expected okay so this is a market
  1405. 42:12order
  1406. 42:13the other type of market order right is
  1407. 42:15limit order
  1408. 42:17so again let's talk about buy limit
  1409. 42:18order sell limit order is just the
  1410. 42:20opposite
  1411. 42:20so for a buy limit order right it's an
  1412. 42:22order an order to buy
  1413. 42:24below the current market price so let me
  1414. 42:27give you an example
  1415. 42:28so let's say market is in a range
  1416. 42:31between these highs and this lows it
  1417. 42:33goes up comes down goes up and now it's
  1418. 42:35in the middle and you
  1419. 42:36think to yourself ah man price right now
  1420. 42:39is in the middle right i want to buy
  1421. 42:40i want to be a cheapskate i want to buy
  1422. 42:41the best price and it seems like the
  1423. 42:43best price
  1424. 42:44is near this lows over here and let's
  1425. 42:46say this is zero usd this lows is around
  1426. 42:48one point
  1427. 42:50five okay so what you can do is you can
  1428. 42:52place a buy limit order
  1429. 42:54at one point five zero zero zero so such
  1430. 42:57that if the market
  1431. 42:58comes down into this level you will
  1432. 43:01get filled on that buy trade but of
  1433. 43:04course if the market doesn't come down
  1434. 43:05you won't get fuel so that is kind of
  1435. 43:07like the pros and cons
  1436. 43:09to using a buy limit order so let me
  1437. 43:10give you a chart example you can so you
  1438. 43:13can see what i mean
  1439. 43:14so this is uh for example pound canadian
  1440. 43:17let's say you're looking at this chart
  1441. 43:18maybe on the eight hour time frame
  1442. 43:20okay and you zoom out a little bit and
  1443. 43:22you realize oh this
  1444. 43:23this market right this seems like a good
  1445. 43:25place to buy this is an area of support
  1446. 43:28don't worry if you're not familiar with
  1447. 43:29this technical term i'll explain more in
  1448. 43:31the later section but let's say hey
  1449. 43:32you want to buy around 172 right this
  1450. 43:34looks like a good place to buy because
  1451. 43:36the market has bounced once twice
  1452. 43:38you know and three times over here this
  1453. 43:39looks like a good place to buy but the
  1454. 43:41current market price is at this point
  1455. 43:42over here which is almost
  1456. 43:44near 1735 so what can you do you can
  1457. 43:47place a buy limit order
  1458. 43:48over here a buy limit at 1.72
  1459. 43:52so this means only if the market comes
  1460. 43:54down low
  1461. 43:55enough into this 1.72 level
  1462. 43:58only then will you get filled if not you
  1463. 44:00won't be in this trade so this is what a
  1464. 44:02buy
  1465. 44:03limit order means so of course all right
  1466. 44:06the good thing about it is that you get
  1467. 44:07to buy at the price you want
  1468. 44:09the downside is you might not get filled
  1469. 44:11on the trade so maybe you're waiting for
  1470. 44:12that level but the market doesn't come
  1471. 44:14to the level and instead
  1472. 44:15you know if it continues you know going
  1473. 44:17up higher then clearly right you
  1474. 44:19wouldn't you know be
  1475. 44:20in the trade so vice versa right for a
  1476. 44:22sell limit order the
  1477. 44:24concept is just the opposite so moving
  1478. 44:26on the third type of
  1479. 44:27order is a stop order so again let's
  1480. 44:29talk about buy stock order so this
  1481. 44:31in essence right is to in order to buy
  1482. 44:34only if the market moves above
  1483. 44:36a specific price level so you might be
  1484. 44:37thinking what does that mean
  1485. 44:39so again i can give you an example let's
  1486. 44:41say
  1487. 44:42market is uh let's say it's trending
  1488. 44:44higher it goes up pulls back goes up
  1489. 44:46pulls back and it's starting to go up
  1490. 44:48and you tell yourself
  1491. 44:50i'm looking at this chart and it would
  1492. 44:51make sense right that
  1493. 44:53i want to buy only if the price can
  1494. 44:55breaks above this highs because if you
  1495. 44:57can breaks above this highs
  1496. 44:58then there's a good chance that this
  1497. 44:59market could continue higher so you want
  1498. 45:01to tell yourself i will only
  1499. 45:02buy if the price can breaks above this
  1500. 45:05high if it doesn't break above this high
  1501. 45:07i will not you know enter a trade so
  1502. 45:09what you can do is to use a
  1503. 45:11buy stop order so an example is this one
  1504. 45:14here
  1505. 45:16if you look at this chart dollar against
  1506. 45:17the chinese yuan this is the eight hour
  1507. 45:18time frame so again you can look at this
  1508. 45:20and say hmm
  1509. 45:21at this point right right now i have no
  1510. 45:22idea when the price might go up and come
  1511. 45:24back down
  1512. 45:25you know and again i don't want to enter
  1513. 45:26right now because you know this could
  1514. 45:28happen
  1515. 45:28and then you're thinking to yourself i
  1516. 45:30feel more confident if the price
  1517. 45:32can break above this highs only then i
  1518. 45:34would be willing to buy
  1519. 45:36so if that's your thought process what
  1520. 45:37you can do is you can use a buy stop
  1521. 45:39order you can place a buy stop order at
  1522. 45:41this price
  1523. 45:41around six dollars and 59 cents around
  1524. 45:45this price point
  1525. 45:46which is somewhere about here so you can
  1526. 45:47place a buy stock order here
  1527. 45:49let's call it bs buy stop not not not bs
  1528. 45:52that you're familiar with but
  1529. 45:53buy stop order at 6.59 so such that if
  1530. 45:56the price goes up and breaks above
  1531. 45:586.59 this is an order that would
  1532. 46:01automatically you know get you
  1533. 46:03into this trade right because it broke
  1534. 46:05it broke about broke above this key
  1535. 46:06level
  1536. 46:07659 that you have you know uh put into
  1537. 46:09your broker platform
  1538. 46:11so it's in order to buy if the price
  1539. 46:13moves above a specific price level
  1540. 46:16so this is useful right with your
  1541. 46:17trading breakouts this order is
  1542. 46:19you know absolutely useful because in
  1543. 46:21breakout trading the price will break
  1544. 46:22out
  1545. 46:22of a specific level and then you'll
  1546. 46:24continue with the momentum right to hit
  1547. 46:26higher so if you have a buy stop order
  1548. 46:27you
  1549. 46:28are you know kind of like assured to
  1550. 46:29enter right if the price could break out
  1551. 46:31of a level
  1552. 46:32the downside to this is that it might be
  1553. 46:34a false breakout so again what could
  1554. 46:35happen is that let's say
  1555. 46:37pound the dollar against the chinese yen
  1556. 46:39so this is the highest
  1557. 46:41price could go up break out and then
  1558. 46:43boom reverse right this is possible as
  1559. 46:45well
  1560. 46:45anything can happen in the market so
  1561. 46:47this is a one possibility that could
  1562. 46:49happen right if you're
  1563. 46:50you know using buy stock order to enter
  1564. 46:52a trade
  1565. 46:53so the next type of order right will be
  1566. 46:56uh
  1567. 46:57stop loss order so the first three
  1568. 46:58orders that i shared with you right
  1569. 46:59those
  1570. 47:00are orders right to get you into a trade
  1571. 47:02so for stop loss
  1572. 47:03order is the opposite because this is an
  1573. 47:05order to get you
  1574. 47:06out of a trade so so let's say we are
  1575. 47:09going with a long entry
  1576. 47:11okay so a stop loss order is in order to
  1577. 47:13sell your position if the price
  1578. 47:15exceeds a specific level so for example
  1579. 47:17let's say
  1580. 47:19you market this in a range up down up
  1581. 47:22down
  1582. 47:23they start to go up okay and this is the
  1583. 47:25area of support and you start to buy
  1584. 47:26over here
  1585. 47:27okay and what happens is that you know
  1586. 47:29as you know in trading
  1587. 47:30nothing is certain there's a possibility
  1588. 47:32that this market could continue to
  1589. 47:33reverse down lower
  1590. 47:35and lower and if you don't bail out of
  1591. 47:37your trade in time right you could you
  1592. 47:38know lose a lot of money so this is
  1593. 47:39where you can use a stop-loss
  1594. 47:41order and say you know hey you can tell
  1595. 47:43your broker hey you know what if the
  1596. 47:44market
  1597. 47:45you know breaks below this level in rate
  1598. 47:47okay if the market
  1599. 47:48reaches this level in rate i want to get
  1600. 47:50out of that trade so to tell that you
  1601. 47:52will tell your broker to set a stop loss
  1602. 47:54order at this particular price let's say
  1603. 47:55this price is at
  1604. 47:56two dollars right and you will exit your
  1605. 47:59trade so this is what we mean by a stop
  1606. 48:01loss order is in order to sell your
  1607. 48:02position if the market moves against you
  1608. 48:05and reaches a specific price level so
  1609. 48:08a chart example would help so let's say
  1610. 48:11you look at dollar against
  1611. 48:12usd against the singapore dollars so you
  1612. 48:15can look at this right market right now
  1613. 48:17looks a little bit bullish right this
  1614. 48:19area of support
  1615. 48:20and it's starting to hit higher but of
  1616. 48:21course as you know market could possibly
  1617. 48:23you know reverse down
  1618. 48:24and break lower so to protect your
  1619. 48:26downside what you can do is to set
  1620. 48:28a stop-loss order okay so this is the
  1621. 48:31area of support and what i would say a
  1622. 48:33proper stop-loss order could possibly be
  1623. 48:35at one thirty three
  1624. 48:37six level around here so this means i
  1625. 48:39can tell that broker and say
  1626. 48:40hey you know i i am long
  1627. 48:44usd against the singapore dollars but i
  1628. 48:46know the trade could go against me so
  1629. 48:48i'm going to set a stop loss order at
  1630. 48:491.336
  1631. 48:51so if the market let's say reverse down
  1632. 48:53lower and hit my stop loss level which
  1633. 48:55is
  1634. 48:55this one over here the stop loss level i
  1635. 48:58will want to
  1636. 48:59sell the position that i have to protect
  1637. 49:01my downside so i can leave to fight
  1638. 49:03another day so this is how
  1639. 49:04a stop-loss order works is to protect
  1640. 49:07your downside
  1641. 49:09okay and of course right the downside to
  1642. 49:11using a stop-loss order is that you
  1643. 49:13might get stopped out of your trade
  1644. 49:14prematurely so what could happen also
  1645. 49:16is that okay let's say you set your stop
  1646. 49:20loss
  1647. 49:20at this level here there's no
  1648. 49:23there is you know nothing to stop the
  1649. 49:24market from coming down lower
  1650. 49:26when you hit your stop loss and then
  1651. 49:28reverse up higher that could also happen
  1652. 49:30so this is kind of like
  1653. 49:31the downside downside to using a
  1654. 49:32stop-loss order but as a forex trader
  1655. 49:35as a trader who uses leverage in your
  1656. 49:36trading i still suggest you use a
  1657. 49:38stop-loss order
  1658. 49:39sometimes yes this could happen it sucks
  1659. 49:41but in the grand scheme of things right
  1660. 49:42you
  1661. 49:43will likely right have a longevity in
  1662. 49:45your trading career because your losses
  1663. 49:47right or
  1664. 49:47are always kept small and that's
  1665. 49:49achieved by using proper risk management
  1666. 49:51and position sizing and again
  1667. 49:52those are things that you have learned
  1668. 49:53earlier and we'll revisit them
  1669. 49:55later with chart examples but for now i
  1670. 49:57just want you to be familiar with a
  1671. 49:59stop-loss order
  1672. 50:01okay and the opposite for stop-loss or
  1673. 50:03the right is can be used for both the
  1674. 50:05long trade
  1675. 50:05and a short trade the concept is the
  1676. 50:07same just you know the inverse so let's
  1677. 50:09say for example you are
  1678. 50:10in a short trade let's say market comes
  1679. 50:12up into this area of resistance and you
  1680. 50:15sell
  1681. 50:15right you can put your stop-loss order
  1682. 50:17above this high so if the market breaks
  1683. 50:19out higher
  1684. 50:19you would exit this trade if the market
  1685. 50:21hits your stop-loss at this particular
  1686. 50:23price point so it's just the inverse
  1687. 50:24right of a long entry
  1688. 50:26[Music]
  1689. 50:27so let's do a quick recap right of the
  1690. 50:29four market orders you have just learned
  1691. 50:30number one market order gets you into a
  1692. 50:32trade immediately no matter what
  1693. 50:34a limit order gets you into a trade only
  1694. 50:36if it comes to a specific
  1695. 50:38price level that you have dictated a
  1696. 50:40stop order gets you into
  1697. 50:42a trade if the market exceeds a certain
  1698. 50:44price level for example let's say buying
  1699. 50:46breakout only if
  1700. 50:46let's say breaks above let's say a
  1701. 50:48hundred dollars will you be entering the
  1702. 50:50breakout trade so that's
  1703. 50:51what a stop order a buy stop order can
  1704. 50:53do for you and finally a stop-loss order
  1705. 50:56right would get you out of a trade if
  1706. 50:57the market you know
  1707. 50:58exit a certain price levels to protect
  1708. 51:01your downside
  1709. 51:03now moving on in this section you will
  1710. 51:06learn
  1711. 51:06the two prices in the financial markets
  1712. 51:09not just the forex markets
  1713. 51:10what is the spread and why it matters
  1714. 51:13and how
  1715. 51:13to reduce the spread okay so let's get
  1716. 51:16started the two
  1717. 51:17prices in the market so here's the thing
  1718. 51:19right when you are trading the forex
  1719. 51:20market the stock market
  1720. 51:22or any of the financial markets there is
  1721. 51:23always two prices
  1722. 51:25so they are number one the bid the bid
  1723. 51:28is the price which you can
  1724. 51:30sell at and the ask this is the price
  1725. 51:33which you can
  1726. 51:34buy at so this concept is the same as
  1727. 51:36you know going to a money changer
  1728. 51:38whenever you let's say for example you
  1729. 51:39want to you know buy and sell
  1730. 51:41a certain currency let's say euro
  1731. 51:42against the usd you are always being
  1732. 51:44quoted two prices to beat
  1733. 51:46and ask and it's the same concept over
  1734. 51:48here so let me
  1735. 51:51share with you you know and explain what
  1736. 51:53this means so the bid right let's say
  1737. 51:54for example if you look at a chart i'm
  1738. 51:56going to bring up my charts
  1739. 51:58over here you see this is the dollar
  1740. 52:02the usd against the singapore dollar
  1741. 52:04this over here
  1742. 52:05is the bid and this is the ask so as of
  1743. 52:08right now if i want to
  1744. 52:10sell the us dollar against the singapore
  1745. 52:12dollar
  1746. 52:13i can sell it at 1.34101 and if i want
  1747. 52:18to buy
  1748. 52:19u.s dollar against the singapore dollar
  1749. 52:21right now i will look at this blue box
  1750. 52:22and i can buy it at one three four one
  1751. 52:25one five
  1752. 52:26make sense so there's always two prices
  1753. 52:28right which is being quoted
  1754. 52:30in the forex market the bid and the ask
  1755. 52:34and depending you know what you're
  1756. 52:35trying to do if you're trying to buy
  1757. 52:36then of course you will
  1758. 52:37pay attention and see what's the asking
  1759. 52:40price
  1760. 52:40if you're looking to sell if you're
  1761. 52:42looking to short a currency pair
  1762. 52:44you will pay attention to what is the
  1763. 52:46bid price
  1764. 52:48what is the spread well the spread very
  1765. 52:50simply is this
  1766. 52:51is the difference between the bid and
  1767. 52:54the ask
  1768. 52:56so let's say for example euro usd is
  1769. 52:58trading at
  1770. 52:59one three five zero zero this is the
  1771. 53:03b and the ask is trading at one three
  1772. 53:06five
  1773. 53:06zero one this is the ask so the
  1774. 53:09difference right
  1775. 53:10between the bit and ask in this case is
  1776. 53:12one pip
  1777. 53:14so this is the spread on euro usd
  1778. 53:18and now you might be wondering hey right
  1779. 53:19now you know why does the spread matter
  1780. 53:21as many what has it got to do with me
  1781. 53:23well a lot right he has to do a lot with
  1782. 53:25you
  1783. 53:26and your own trading and here's why
  1784. 53:29spread right if you look at it right you
  1785. 53:30can look at it in the form of
  1786. 53:32transaction cost in forex trading most
  1787. 53:35of you probably don't pay commission to
  1788. 53:36your broker
  1789. 53:37so your transaction cost is in the form
  1790. 53:39of a spread so let me explain how this
  1791. 53:41works
  1792. 53:42so the higher the spread the higher your
  1793. 53:44transaction cost and likewise the lower
  1794. 53:46the spread
  1795. 53:46the lower your transaction costs and i'm
  1796. 53:48going to give you an example
  1797. 53:49so you can see what i mean so let's say
  1798. 53:51you buy one standard lot of euro usd
  1799. 53:54and the spread is three pips how much
  1800. 53:57does a spread cost you in in dollar
  1801. 53:59terms
  1802. 54:00so you know as we have you know
  1803. 54:02discussed earlier one standard lot is
  1804. 54:04100 000
  1805. 54:05units 100 000 units
  1806. 54:08and the value per pip is 10 dollars
  1807. 54:11so if your spread is three pips
  1808. 54:14this means right the moment you put on a
  1809. 54:16trade when you trade one standard lot of
  1810. 54:19euro this should be usd it's not sure
  1811. 54:20why it's i okay when you
  1812. 54:22buy one a standalone of euro usd you are
  1813. 54:24immediately down
  1814. 54:2530 on this trade that is
  1815. 54:28the cost of the spread in terms of us
  1816. 54:31dollar to you
  1817. 54:33so if you think about this right what if
  1818. 54:36the spread
  1819. 54:37now is one pip can you see how much of a
  1820. 54:39difference this make
  1821. 54:41if the spread now is one pip the cost to
  1822. 54:43you is just ten
  1823. 54:45dollars see see what i mean by
  1824. 54:48having a wide spread and a tight spread
  1825. 54:50the higher the spread
  1826. 54:52the more expensive your transaction cost
  1827. 54:53is going to be the lower the spread the
  1828. 54:55cheaper your transaction cost is going
  1829. 54:57to be
  1830. 54:58so now the question is how can you
  1831. 55:00reduce the cost
  1832. 55:01of the spread so one thing to point out
  1833. 55:03is that it's near impossible to you know
  1834. 55:05tell your broker to give you
  1835. 55:06a tight spread right because it's pretty
  1836. 55:09much fixed and there's nothing you can
  1837. 55:10do about it but what you can do on your
  1838. 55:12end
  1839. 55:12is just focus on major currency pairs so
  1840. 55:16as mentioned earlier major currency
  1841. 55:17pairs these are the most
  1842. 55:18popular currency pairs that are actively
  1843. 55:20traded in the world and if you look at
  1844. 55:21their spread right they are
  1845. 55:23usually right smaller tighter than the
  1846. 55:25other currency pairs like the exotic or
  1847. 55:27even the uh
  1848. 55:28the uh cross currency pair so let me
  1849. 55:31share this with you and you can see over
  1850. 55:32here i'm going to pull up trading view
  1851. 55:35if you look at our daily time frame and
  1852. 55:37in case you guys are wondering right
  1853. 55:38this platform is trading view it
  1854. 55:39provides uh charting services in case if
  1855. 55:41you need it
  1856. 55:42so if you look at euro usd you can see
  1857. 55:44what is the spread right now so for
  1858. 55:46example
  1859. 55:46the difference between the bit and us is
  1860. 55:48actually shown over here in this middle
  1861. 55:49the spread on euro usd right now is
  1862. 55:510.2 pips if you look at pound dollar
  1863. 55:54the spread now is about 0.3 it's moving
  1864. 55:57you know up and down just pay attention
  1865. 55:59to this
  1866. 56:00portion here about 0.5 and if you look
  1867. 56:02at aussie against the dollar it's about
  1868. 56:040.23
  1869. 56:050.2 right now but what if you look at
  1870. 56:07other currency pairs maybe you look at
  1871. 56:09you know something like the cross
  1872. 56:10currency pair like
  1873. 56:11pound new zealand the spread here is now
  1874. 56:131.2
  1875. 56:14if you look at something exotic like
  1876. 56:16dollar against the turkish lira is 66.3
  1877. 56:19pip so you can see right
  1878. 56:20if you want to have you know lower
  1879. 56:22transaction costs all right focus on
  1880. 56:23major currency pairs the spreads are
  1881. 56:25usually
  1882. 56:26tighter usually lower and
  1883. 56:29another thing that you can do is to
  1884. 56:30trade the higher time frame so the cost
  1885. 56:32of your spread is lower in terms of
  1886. 56:34percentage so let me explain what this
  1887. 56:36means
  1888. 56:38so let's say you have one pip spread
  1889. 56:41with a five pips stop loss if you think
  1890. 56:43about it right your
  1891. 56:45spread is 20 right of the size of your
  1892. 56:48stop-loss so let's say if your stop-loss
  1893. 56:50is five
  1894. 56:50pips your spread is one pip right the
  1895. 56:53spread as a function of your stop-loss
  1896. 56:55eats up about 20 of it so this means
  1897. 56:57right in essence your stop-loss is only
  1898. 56:59four pips if the market moves four peeps
  1899. 57:01against you you are going to get stopped
  1900. 57:03out of your trade
  1901. 57:04on the other hand if you have a one-pip
  1902. 57:06spread but your stop-loss is
  1903. 57:08100 pips and the reason why you can
  1904. 57:10afford a hundred pip stop loss is
  1905. 57:12because you're trading off the higher
  1906. 57:13time frame
  1907. 57:14you have a wider stop-loss right because
  1908. 57:15you're trading on a higher time frame in
  1909. 57:17this case the one pip spread is only one
  1910. 57:19percent
  1911. 57:20of the size of your stop-loss so in
  1912. 57:22terms of cost it's only one percent
  1913. 57:24of the size of your stop loss so you can
  1914. 57:26see that in the way right your
  1915. 57:28spread right you're paying or rather a
  1916. 57:30percentage of your stop-loss is smaller
  1917. 57:32when you have a wider stop-loss and to
  1918. 57:34have a wider stop-loss is usually
  1919. 57:36because you are trading off the higher
  1920. 57:37timeframe and if you think about this if
  1921. 57:39you trade on a five minutes chart on the
  1922. 57:4015 minute chart
  1923. 57:41the price action right the way the
  1924. 57:43candle moves up and down right the range
  1925. 57:45is usually
  1926. 57:45smaller compared to trading off the
  1927. 57:47daily time frame where the range is much
  1928. 57:48larger so when you are trading off the
  1929. 57:50higher time frame with a larger range it
  1930. 57:52makes sense to have a wider stop-loss to
  1931. 57:54accommodate right
  1932. 57:55the largest swings on that time frame so
  1933. 57:57this is why if you trade off the higher
  1934. 57:58time frame
  1935. 57:59your stop-loss is usually wider and if
  1936. 58:01your stop-loss is
  1937. 58:02wider you will realize that this spread
  1938. 58:04right as a function of your stop-loss
  1939. 58:06right in terms of
  1940. 58:07percentage is usually lower compared to
  1941. 58:09you know let's say you trade off the one
  1942. 58:10minute or five minutes time frame
  1943. 58:12the spread as a function of your
  1944. 58:13stop-loss right is usually
  1945. 58:15wider and you're gonna you know end up
  1946. 58:16pay more in transaction costs
  1947. 58:20so let's do a quick recap number one the
  1948. 58:22spread is the difference between the
  1949. 58:23beat and ask
  1950. 58:24the bid is the price that you can sell
  1951. 58:26it the ask is the price that you can
  1952. 58:29buy at number two the lower the spread
  1953. 58:31the lower
  1954. 58:32your transaction cost and finally if you
  1955. 58:34want to reduce the cost of the spread
  1956. 58:36what you can do is to focus on the major
  1957. 58:37currency pairs
  1958. 58:38or trade off the higher time frames
  1959. 58:41hey hey what's up my friend man i miss
  1960. 58:44saying that because you know
  1961. 58:45these videos actually they're all done
  1962. 58:47separately and then stitch up together
  1963. 58:48because
  1964. 58:49if i were to say hey hey at the start of
  1965. 58:51every section right you're gonna get
  1966. 58:53irritated by me
  1967. 58:54so anyway welcome back uh in this
  1968. 58:56section you will learn
  1969. 58:58the different types of forex traders
  1970. 59:01and you know let me explain so there are
  1971. 59:04different types of forex traders out
  1972. 59:05there
  1973. 59:05you can classify them as short-term
  1974. 59:07traders medium-term traders and
  1975. 59:09long-term traders so let's analyze you
  1976. 59:10know
  1977. 59:11uh what are the differences right
  1978. 59:12between these type of traders number one
  1979. 59:14short-term traders
  1980. 59:16so for term traders right your time
  1981. 59:18frame it's usually below the one hour
  1982. 59:20time frame you will likely operate on
  1983. 59:21the five minutes 15 minutes time frame
  1984. 59:24your potential target in terms of pips
  1985. 59:25right you're usually aiming anywhere
  1986. 59:27between five
  1987. 59:28to 50 pips and your holding time it's
  1988. 59:30usually
  1989. 59:31less than three days and one thing to to
  1990. 59:33share is that whatever i'm sharing with
  1991. 59:34you is just
  1992. 59:35general guidelines it's not really cast
  1993. 59:37in stone because short-term traders
  1994. 59:38there are some
  1995. 59:39really really short-term traders like
  1996. 59:40scalpers who can be in a trade for just
  1997. 59:42a few minutes
  1998. 59:43and then you have some short-term
  1999. 59:44traders traders which are slightly
  2000. 59:46longer which could be under day traders
  2001. 59:48where they could hold their trade for a
  2002. 59:49day or two so what i'm sharing here is
  2003. 59:50just
  2004. 59:51uh a general guideline right to to take
  2005. 59:53into consideration
  2006. 59:55next one medium term traders so these
  2007. 59:56are the type of traders who trade
  2008. 59:58between the one
  2009. 59:59and four hour time frame their potential
  2010. 1:00:01target is usually anywhere between
  2011. 1:00:0250 to 200 pips and they can hold their
  2012. 1:00:05trades anywhere between three
  2013. 1:00:07to 10 days and finally you have the
  2014. 1:00:09long-term trader
  2015. 1:00:10who trades right the four-hour time
  2016. 1:00:12frame and above could be the four hour
  2017. 1:00:14eight hour daily
  2018. 1:00:15or even the weekly time frame then their
  2019. 1:00:17potential target is usually you know
  2020. 1:00:18more than 200 pips on each trade that
  2021. 1:00:20they are aiming for
  2022. 1:00:21and they can hold their trades you know
  2023. 1:00:23for 10 days or more weeks or even
  2024. 1:00:25months so a super quick recap this is a
  2025. 1:00:29fast
  2026. 1:00:29section right so you have short term
  2027. 1:00:31traders medium term traders and long
  2028. 1:00:33term traders and personally for me i'm a
  2029. 1:00:35medium to long term trader so
  2030. 1:00:37the key here right to share with you is
  2031. 1:00:38to get you to understand the different
  2032. 1:00:40type of
  2033. 1:00:41trading time frames that you can be on
  2034. 1:00:42and to find a type of trading style that
  2035. 1:00:45suits you are you more towards
  2036. 1:00:46short-term trading medium-term trading
  2037. 1:00:48or long-term
  2038. 1:00:48long-term trading and the only way to
  2039. 1:00:50find out is to through trial and error
  2040. 1:00:52right you know
  2041. 1:00:52trading across the different time frames
  2042. 1:00:54to see what works for you and also
  2043. 1:00:55another thing is time commitment
  2044. 1:00:57plays a part because if you have a
  2045. 1:00:59full-time job it's unlikely that you can
  2046. 1:01:00be a short-term trader because
  2047. 1:01:01you just can't afford to be glued in
  2048. 1:01:03front of the screen right all day to
  2049. 1:01:04watch the markets while having a
  2050. 1:01:05full-time job
  2051. 1:01:06so probably i'll say medium term to
  2052. 1:01:08long-term trading would suit you best
  2053. 1:01:10but on the other hand let's say you are
  2054. 1:01:11a someone who is very free
  2055. 1:01:13uh you have a lot of time and you have
  2056. 1:01:15you know interest in short-term
  2057. 1:01:17day trading then hey you know maybe that
  2058. 1:01:18is something for you but ultimately you
  2059. 1:01:20have to explore experiment trial and
  2060. 1:01:21error
  2061. 1:01:22to see which type of trading approach
  2062. 1:01:24would suit you
  2063. 1:01:25best
  2064. 1:01:30boom boom shakalaka hi my name is raynor
  2065. 1:01:34pleased to meet you all right stop stop
  2066. 1:01:36messing around so in this section right
  2067. 1:01:37you will
  2068. 1:01:38learn number one what is technical
  2069. 1:01:39analysis what is market structure
  2070. 1:01:41what is an area of value what is an
  2071. 1:01:43entry trigger and more importantly
  2072. 1:01:45how do you use technical analysis in
  2073. 1:01:48your trading so let's get started
  2074. 1:01:50so first thing first what is technical
  2075. 1:01:52analysis so i define technical analysis
  2076. 1:01:54as using past
  2077. 1:01:55data to help you make your trading
  2078. 1:01:58decisions and this past data could be
  2079. 1:01:59things like volume indicators chart
  2080. 1:02:01patterns candlestick patterns etc
  2081. 1:02:03and of course right technical analysis
  2082. 1:02:05is not the only way to treat the markets
  2083. 1:02:07because you also have things like
  2084. 1:02:08fundamental analysis
  2085. 1:02:09sentiment analysis but me primarily i'm
  2086. 1:02:12a technical trader so this is why in
  2087. 1:02:13this video
  2088. 1:02:14i would focus more on technical analysis
  2089. 1:02:16and i want to share with you
  2090. 1:02:17the three things right that you should
  2091. 1:02:19focus on right when you kick-start this
  2092. 1:02:21trading career of yours so technical
  2093. 1:02:23analysis all right i would say there are
  2094. 1:02:24three
  2095. 1:02:24components which is very important to
  2096. 1:02:26master the first component here
  2097. 1:02:28is what i call market structure so
  2098. 1:02:30here's the thing right when you look at
  2099. 1:02:31the price chart
  2100. 1:02:33the the first thing that comes to your
  2101. 1:02:35mind should be no
  2102. 1:02:36hmm should i be buying should i be
  2103. 1:02:39selling or should i stay out of the
  2104. 1:02:40market that's really the first
  2105. 1:02:41thing that should come to your mind you
  2106. 1:02:43shouldn't you know look at the chat and
  2107. 1:02:43say oh let me buy now oh let me sell now
  2108. 1:02:45no
  2109. 1:02:45you should first ask yourself is this
  2110. 1:02:47the type of price action is this
  2111. 1:02:49chart telling me that i should be
  2112. 1:02:50looking for buying opportunities
  2113. 1:02:53or selling opportunities or maybe i
  2114. 1:02:54should stay out completely of this
  2115. 1:02:55market this is the first
  2116. 1:02:56question right that you must answer and
  2117. 1:02:59everything else right is secondary
  2118. 1:03:00so the way to do that right is market
  2119. 1:03:02structure helps you to answer this
  2120. 1:03:03question it tells you what to do
  2121. 1:03:05so market structure helps you to define
  2122. 1:03:07the current market condition so you know
  2123. 1:03:09whether to be buying selling or staying
  2124. 1:03:12out of the market so let's dive
  2125. 1:03:13a little bit deeper into market
  2126. 1:03:14structure so market structure there are
  2127. 1:03:16different types of market structure but
  2128. 1:03:17for this video i will share with you
  2129. 1:03:19three broad categories of market
  2130. 1:03:20structure number one being
  2131. 1:03:22an uptrend if you know a stock or sorry
  2132. 1:03:25a market is in an uptrend not
  2133. 1:03:26necessarily stock can be currency pairs
  2134. 1:03:28etc you want to look for
  2135. 1:03:30buying opportunities so let me explain
  2136. 1:03:32to you what an uptrend is
  2137. 1:03:33so in the grand scheme of things grand
  2138. 1:03:35scheme of things an uptrend
  2139. 1:03:37forms a series of higher highs and
  2140. 1:03:40higher lows so it looks something like
  2141. 1:03:41this
  2142. 1:03:42market goes up but as you know market
  2143. 1:03:43doesn't go up you want straight line he
  2144. 1:03:44goes up he needs to take a breather it
  2145. 1:03:46needs to pause and then he makes a
  2146. 1:03:47pullback
  2147. 1:03:48then once the pullback ends he will
  2148. 1:03:50continue up higher breaking above this
  2149. 1:03:52previous swing high this previous high
  2150. 1:03:54if you want to call it and goes up again
  2151. 1:03:56it doesn't go up in one straight line
  2152. 1:03:57you need to take a breather
  2153. 1:03:58pause once it pause once it rests
  2154. 1:04:01finished and then it continues up higher
  2155. 1:04:03breaking out above the previous swing
  2156. 1:04:04high again and then the pattern rings
  2157. 1:04:06repeat itself
  2158. 1:04:07so when you look at this you will notice
  2159. 1:04:08that an uptrend consists of
  2160. 1:04:10a series of higher highs and higher low
  2161. 1:04:12look at this high
  2162. 1:04:13another higher high a cluster disc as
  2163. 1:04:16one and another higher high
  2164. 1:04:18if you look at the lows it's a higher
  2165. 1:04:20low
  2166. 1:04:21higher low high low okay had to do that
  2167. 1:04:25so this is what i mean by an uptrend a
  2168. 1:04:27series of higher highs and higher lows
  2169. 1:04:29and if you see a market has this
  2170. 1:04:32market structure this currency pair has
  2171. 1:04:33this market structure then what you want
  2172. 1:04:35to do
  2173. 1:04:35well you want to look for buying
  2174. 1:04:37opportunities because the market is in
  2175. 1:04:39an uptrend the path of least resistance
  2176. 1:04:41is higher so this is why you want to be
  2177. 1:04:42looking for buying opportunities so if
  2178. 1:04:44you see a chart that looks like this
  2179. 1:04:46tell yourself promise me you will only
  2180. 1:04:48look for buying opportunities right you
  2181. 1:04:49don't want to look for
  2182. 1:04:50selling opportunities not they can be
  2183. 1:04:52done they are traders who specialize in
  2184. 1:04:53counter trend trading but for you
  2185. 1:04:55the beginner is much easier to be
  2186. 1:04:57trading along the path of least
  2187. 1:04:58resistance
  2188. 1:04:59trading in the direction of the trend
  2189. 1:05:01then against it okay so uptrend look for
  2190. 1:05:03buying opportunities
  2191. 1:05:05next one downtrend this is just a
  2192. 1:05:07reverse you want to look for selling
  2193. 1:05:08opportunities
  2194. 1:05:09so downtrend right in essence is a
  2195. 1:05:11series of lower highs
  2196. 1:05:12and lower low so market hits down lower
  2197. 1:05:14makes a pullback
  2198. 1:05:16heads down lower again breaking below
  2199. 1:05:18the previous low
  2200. 1:05:19makes a pullback heads down lower
  2201. 1:05:21breaking the previous low
  2202. 1:05:22sometimes it could consolidate and then
  2203. 1:05:24break down lower once again breaking
  2204. 1:05:25below the
  2205. 1:05:26previous swing low so if you look at it
  2206. 1:05:30you will notice a series of lower high
  2207. 1:05:32lower high
  2208. 1:05:34lower high and lower low
  2209. 1:05:37lower low lower low so if you see a
  2210. 1:05:40market is in a downtrend
  2211. 1:05:42then what should you be doing buying or
  2212. 1:05:44selling
  2213. 1:05:45well the path of least resistance is
  2214. 1:05:47towards the downside so promise me when
  2215. 1:05:49you see a chart that's in a downtrend
  2216. 1:05:51you only
  2217. 1:05:52think of selling opportunities okay
  2218. 1:05:54that's the path of least
  2219. 1:05:56resistance and finally you have what we
  2220. 1:05:58call
  2221. 1:05:59a range market and in this market
  2222. 1:06:00condition you can know be both a buyer
  2223. 1:06:02or seller so a range market looks
  2224. 1:06:06something like this
  2225. 1:06:07price is contained between the highs and
  2226. 1:06:09the lows so
  2227. 1:06:10when a market is in a range right you
  2228. 1:06:11can look for both buying and selling
  2229. 1:06:14opportunity and one thing to point out
  2230. 1:06:15is again how do you know a market is in
  2231. 1:06:17range is where
  2232. 1:06:18you see the the highs of the range right
  2233. 1:06:20the price just keep testing it right but
  2234. 1:06:21unable to break out higher compared to
  2235. 1:06:23an uptrend the price is able to break
  2236. 1:06:24above the previous swing high it's able
  2237. 1:06:26to break above the highs
  2238. 1:06:27but in the range it's just you know
  2239. 1:06:28getting rejected at the highs
  2240. 1:06:30consistently over here same for the the
  2241. 1:06:33lows of the range it just cannot break
  2242. 1:06:34down lower
  2243. 1:06:35it's just you know contain uh above the
  2244. 1:06:38lows
  2245. 1:06:38of the range so you can think like the
  2246. 1:06:40price right it's being trapped like in a
  2247. 1:06:41in a big giant box just can't
  2248. 1:06:43get out of it so with that said let's
  2249. 1:06:46have a look at a few
  2250. 1:06:46chart examples so you know how this
  2251. 1:06:48looks like because one thing to
  2252. 1:06:50to know is the theory is one thing but
  2253. 1:06:53when you
  2254. 1:06:54look at the live charts the market it
  2255. 1:06:56can look completely different out of
  2256. 1:06:57whack
  2257. 1:06:58like one is in in uh one is in heaven
  2258. 1:07:01and one is on earth so it's going to be
  2259. 1:07:02quite different so i want to
  2260. 1:07:04walk through with you right when you
  2261. 1:07:05look at the chart so if you look at this
  2262. 1:07:07chart new zealand against the swiss
  2263. 1:07:08franc this is the daily time frame as
  2264. 1:07:10you can see over here
  2265. 1:07:11on the daily chart what market structure
  2266. 1:07:13is this
  2267. 1:07:14well if you notice this this market in
  2268. 1:07:16the grand scheme of things is forming a
  2269. 1:07:17series of higher highs
  2270. 1:07:19and higher lows higher high higher high
  2271. 1:07:22higher high
  2272. 1:07:23higher high higher high and higher low
  2273. 1:07:26higher low higher low high low high yeah
  2274. 1:07:29low there's another minor one over here
  2275. 1:07:31okay so yeah so we can see that in the
  2276. 1:07:33grand scheme of things
  2277. 1:07:34in a big picture if you look from left
  2278. 1:07:37left to right this market is
  2279. 1:07:38heading higher it's in a uptrend and if
  2280. 1:07:41a currency pair if a market is in an
  2281. 1:07:43uptrend
  2282. 1:07:43what should you be doing looking for
  2283. 1:07:45buying opportunities or selling
  2284. 1:07:47opportunities
  2285. 1:07:48i'm sure you got the answer okay so
  2286. 1:07:49let's have a look at
  2287. 1:07:51another one dollar against canadian
  2288. 1:07:55okay so if you look at this again this
  2289. 1:07:56pair just identify the highs and lows on
  2290. 1:07:58the chart this is the highs
  2291. 1:08:00the highs the highs highs highs the
  2292. 1:08:03highs
  2293. 1:08:03the highs and the low the low low low
  2294. 1:08:06low low and low so you look from left to
  2295. 1:08:09right
  2296. 1:08:10where is this currency pair heading over
  2297. 1:08:11time it's heading down
  2298. 1:08:13lower so in other words you can see that
  2299. 1:08:15the us dollar is depreciating against
  2300. 1:08:17the canadian dollar
  2301. 1:08:18over you know over the last there's a
  2302. 1:08:20number of months over here that you see
  2303. 1:08:22at the bottom
  2304. 1:08:22okay so this is in the downtrend and one
  2305. 1:08:24thing to also share is that
  2306. 1:08:26when you look at a chart right there are
  2307. 1:08:28many swing points what i call a swing
  2308. 1:08:30point is
  2309. 1:08:30the heights and lows on the chart that
  2310. 1:08:32kind of stick out like a sore thumb
  2311. 1:08:33which is very obvious like you know this
  2312. 1:08:35is a swing high
  2313. 1:08:35this is a swing high i wouldn't consider
  2314. 1:08:37this a swing high because this isn't as
  2315. 1:08:39obvious this isn't as
  2316. 1:08:40in your face kind of thing so when you
  2317. 1:08:42want to identify the series of higher
  2318. 1:08:44highs and higher lows on the chart pay
  2319. 1:08:45attention to the swing points the ones
  2320. 1:08:47that really
  2321. 1:08:47stick out like a sore thumb right the
  2322. 1:08:49minor ones you can just pretty much
  2323. 1:08:50ignore it because if you
  2324. 1:08:52try to pay attention to every single
  2325. 1:08:54minor highs and lows on the chart
  2326. 1:08:56you will get confused right and lose the
  2327. 1:08:58big picture so for example let's say you
  2328. 1:08:59look at this over here
  2329. 1:09:01you might look it's oh it rainer the
  2330. 1:09:03price you know broke out of the
  2331. 1:09:04the uh there's high man you know this
  2332. 1:09:07looks like an uptrend
  2333. 1:09:08so i know it sounds silly but you know
  2334. 1:09:10sometimes when you get too
  2335. 1:09:12fixated on trading in the now you might
  2336. 1:09:14actually think along those lines so just
  2337. 1:09:15remember
  2338. 1:09:16pay attention to the major swing points
  2339. 1:09:18if you're unsure and look from left to
  2340. 1:09:19right
  2341. 1:09:19left to right don't just look at the
  2342. 1:09:22last five six candle loops
  2343. 1:09:23look from look at the big picture
  2344. 1:09:24perspective bird eyes view that is
  2345. 1:09:26important
  2346. 1:09:26okay so dollar against the canadian we
  2347. 1:09:28can both agree that this is
  2348. 1:09:30in the downtrend moving on british pound
  2349. 1:09:32against canadian
  2350. 1:09:33dollar in this case i'll go to the
  2351. 1:09:34weekly time frame okay
  2352. 1:09:36and you can see over here what is this
  2353. 1:09:39market condition and oh yeah before i
  2354. 1:09:40continue
  2355. 1:09:41dollar against the canadian daily time
  2356. 1:09:44frame
  2357. 1:09:44okay in this current market structure
  2358. 1:09:46what do you want to be doing buying or
  2359. 1:09:48selling
  2360. 1:09:48i'm sure you want to look for selling
  2361. 1:09:50opportunities that's the path of
  2362. 1:09:52lease resistance next one pound against
  2363. 1:09:55canadian so if you look at this one
  2364. 1:09:58again what is
  2365. 1:09:59this market structure well you can see
  2366. 1:10:01that this one's a little bit different
  2367. 1:10:02it's a bit different from the earlier
  2368. 1:10:03ones
  2369. 1:10:04this market seems to be contained
  2370. 1:10:06between this highs
  2371. 1:10:08and this lows we'll talk more about this
  2372. 1:10:10exact highs
  2373. 1:10:11and lows what is the terminology and how
  2374. 1:10:13we can use them in your trading
  2375. 1:10:14later on but for now just pay attention
  2376. 1:10:16that this market is kind of
  2377. 1:10:17contained in in a box stuck between the
  2378. 1:10:20highest and the lows and this is what we
  2379. 1:10:21call
  2380. 1:10:21a range market and in a range market you
  2381. 1:10:24can look to buy low and sell high buy
  2382. 1:10:25near this low
  2383. 1:10:26or sell near this high but personally
  2384. 1:10:29for me i like to trade
  2385. 1:10:30trends okay but i still want to share
  2386. 1:10:31with you what the range market looks
  2387. 1:10:32like because hey some of you might go on
  2388. 1:10:34to be you know
  2389. 1:10:34pro range traders in future but for me
  2390. 1:10:36personally i simply like to trade trends
  2391. 1:10:38buy in uptrend and sell in downtrend so
  2392. 1:10:41but nonetheless this is what we call a
  2393. 1:10:43range market you can look to buy
  2394. 1:10:45near the lows and sell near the highs
  2395. 1:10:48and one a couple of more examples you
  2396. 1:10:51can see is on
  2397. 1:10:51british pound against the us dollar what
  2398. 1:10:54is this market structure
  2399. 1:10:56so again if you look at this this
  2400. 1:10:58overall seems to be
  2401. 1:10:59in an uptrend right series of higher
  2402. 1:11:02highs higher highs
  2403. 1:11:03higher highs and higher lows higher low
  2404. 1:11:06higher low higher low higher low
  2405. 1:11:09and possibly this higher low so you can
  2406. 1:11:11see that you know
  2407. 1:11:12this right if you are again too fixated
  2408. 1:11:15in the now you might think that
  2409. 1:11:17ah rainer this looks like you know a a
  2410. 1:11:19downtrend man look rainer
  2411. 1:11:20this market has made a lower high and a
  2412. 1:11:23lower low this market is in the
  2413. 1:11:25downtrend
  2414. 1:11:25yes i get it right if you look at just
  2415. 1:11:27those few candles right you
  2416. 1:11:29uh you can think that it's a downtrend
  2417. 1:11:31but you let's take a step back and look
  2418. 1:11:33from left to right again
  2419. 1:11:34you want to make sure that you are
  2420. 1:11:36taking a bird eyes view and not just
  2421. 1:11:38looking at
  2422. 1:11:38an individual tree and missing the
  2423. 1:11:40forest this is a mistake that i want you
  2424. 1:11:42to make so if you look from left to
  2425. 1:11:43right you can see
  2426. 1:11:44that this market overall is in an
  2427. 1:11:46uptrend okay so this will be
  2428. 1:11:48a swing the next or rather the swing low
  2429. 1:11:51that is pretty much still intact if the
  2430. 1:11:53market right can break below this
  2431. 1:11:55low and this low over here then hey then
  2432. 1:11:57maybe you know you can see that this
  2433. 1:11:59up trend is getting weak right maybe the
  2434. 1:12:00trend is starting to reverse but again i
  2435. 1:12:02don't you know
  2436. 1:12:02take things too far out of hand because
  2437. 1:12:04that is where we go into more advanced
  2438. 1:12:06technical analysis but for now
  2439. 1:12:08looking at the big picture i would say
  2440. 1:12:09the pound against the us dollar looking
  2441. 1:12:11from left to right this market is in an
  2442. 1:12:13uptrend
  2443. 1:12:13and i'm looking for buying opportunities
  2444. 1:12:15and don't worry you know about you know
  2445. 1:12:16hey where to buy how much to buy when to
  2446. 1:12:18buy we'll cover all that stuff later on
  2447. 1:12:20now just focus on this market structure
  2448. 1:12:24and what's one last final example is
  2449. 1:12:26euro against
  2450. 1:12:27the us dollar so if you look at this
  2451. 1:12:29this market
  2452. 1:12:30is it in an uptrend or is it in a
  2453. 1:12:34range so you can see that you know
  2454. 1:12:37this chart i purposely picked this one
  2455. 1:12:39up because
  2456. 1:12:40when you deal with technical analysis
  2457. 1:12:42there is subjectivity involved and if
  2458. 1:12:43you say
  2459. 1:12:43this is an uptrend some traders are
  2460. 1:12:45going to say this in a range i won't say
  2461. 1:12:47anyone is right or wrong because it's
  2462. 1:12:48kind of like in between
  2463. 1:12:49the it's kind of like in between okay so
  2464. 1:12:51personally i'll say
  2465. 1:12:52that this market is more towards the
  2466. 1:12:54range right given this uh
  2467. 1:12:56price chart that i'm looking at right
  2468. 1:12:57now this would be the lows of the range
  2469. 1:13:00and this is the high even though this
  2470. 1:13:02high is just tested one time
  2471. 1:13:03some might argue not right now this is
  2472. 1:13:04an uptrend or higher high high low
  2473. 1:13:06fine that's your point of view so this
  2474. 1:13:07is why as a discretionary trader as a
  2475. 1:13:09technical trader
  2476. 1:13:10there is always you know someone with an
  2477. 1:13:11opposing view of your so
  2478. 1:13:13and one thing to also point out is that
  2479. 1:13:15if a chart doesn't speak up to you if
  2480. 1:13:17the chat right makes you feel confused
  2481. 1:13:19and frustrated and you do not know what
  2482. 1:13:20to do
  2483. 1:13:21remember you always have the option to
  2484. 1:13:22stay out of the markets
  2485. 1:13:24move on on to something else no one is
  2486. 1:13:25pointing a gun in your head hey
  2487. 1:13:26everybody put on a damn trick man
  2488. 1:13:28no no one is doing that so if it's not
  2489. 1:13:30clear if it's conflicting information
  2490. 1:13:32move on onto another currency pair does
  2491. 1:13:35it make sense
  2492. 1:13:37now moving on number two area of value
  2493. 1:13:39so you've learned right what is market
  2494. 1:13:41structure earlier if the market is in an
  2495. 1:13:43uptrend
  2496. 1:13:44you want to look for buying
  2497. 1:13:45opportunities but here's the thing just
  2498. 1:13:46because a market
  2499. 1:13:47is in an uptrend doesn't mean you
  2500. 1:13:48blindly hit the buy button no because
  2501. 1:13:51the trend right could be about to make a
  2502. 1:13:53reversal it could could be about to make
  2503. 1:13:54a pullback so this is why
  2504. 1:13:56you want to look for this next second
  2505. 1:13:57thing an area of value so this is like
  2506. 1:13:59you know going on a date with a girl for
  2507. 1:14:01the first time
  2508. 1:14:01doesn't mean you go on a date once
  2509. 1:14:03you're gonna marry her because you don't
  2510. 1:14:04not know what type of person is she does
  2511. 1:14:05she really like you do you really like
  2512. 1:14:07her
  2513. 1:14:07you know you need more confirmation and
  2514. 1:14:09it's the same for trading we're looking
  2515. 1:14:10for more confirmation to give us
  2516. 1:14:12clue that this is a good time to enter
  2517. 1:14:15into an uptrend okay so the second thing
  2518. 1:14:18is what i call
  2519. 1:14:19an area of value so this in essence
  2520. 1:14:22right tell you
  2521. 1:14:23tells you right where to buy or sell so
  2522. 1:14:25market structure previously it tells you
  2523. 1:14:26what to do
  2524. 1:14:27should you be looking for buying
  2525. 1:14:28opportunities or selling opportunities
  2526. 1:14:30but it doesn't mean
  2527. 1:14:31hit the buy button no you are only
  2528. 1:14:32looking for opportunities
  2529. 1:14:34whether to buy or sell for this one it
  2530. 1:14:37tells you
  2531. 1:14:39where to buy or sell the key word here
  2532. 1:14:41is where where on the chart to buy
  2533. 1:14:42yourself so area of value
  2534. 1:14:44really is about this to help you
  2535. 1:14:46pinpoint the area on your charts to look
  2536. 1:14:47for
  2537. 1:14:48trading opportunities and to to look for
  2538. 1:14:51areas of value on your chart there are
  2539. 1:14:52numerous tools that you can use but for
  2540. 1:14:54me personally
  2541. 1:14:55i use support resistance and moving
  2542. 1:14:57average often and so this is the two
  2543. 1:14:59things
  2544. 1:14:59the two tools that i want to share more
  2545. 1:15:01with you so support and resistance
  2546. 1:15:03otherwise known as sr
  2547. 1:15:04so what is support and resistance so
  2548. 1:15:06here's my definition of it so support is
  2549. 1:15:09an
  2550. 1:15:09area on your chart where buying pressure
  2551. 1:15:12could step in i didn't say mass right
  2552. 1:15:14because in trading
  2553. 1:15:16nothing is guaranteed trading is all
  2554. 1:15:17about probabilities never a certainty so
  2555. 1:15:19it's an
  2556. 1:15:19area on your chart where buying pressure
  2557. 1:15:22could maybe
  2558. 1:15:23come in to push the price higher so it
  2559. 1:15:25looks something like this let's say
  2560. 1:15:26market is in the range
  2561. 1:15:28so support is at near the lows of this
  2562. 1:15:31range this is what we call
  2563. 1:15:32support right where buying pressure came
  2564. 1:15:34in and pushed the price up higher
  2565. 1:15:35buying pressure came in push the price
  2566. 1:15:37up higher
  2567. 1:15:39support this year buying buyers came in
  2568. 1:15:41and pushed the price up higher so let's
  2569. 1:15:42say now price is at support
  2570. 1:15:43what's gonna happen go up no it could
  2571. 1:15:46also go down okay so this is why i say
  2572. 1:15:48that
  2573. 1:15:48it's an area on your chart where buying
  2574. 1:15:50pressure could step it
  2575. 1:15:53so next resistance this is an area on
  2576. 1:15:56your chart where
  2577. 1:15:57selling pressure could step in so again
  2578. 1:16:00this is an
  2579. 1:16:01area of resistance over here where the
  2580. 1:16:03price came up
  2581. 1:16:04hit down lower went up kept down lower
  2582. 1:16:06went up
  2583. 1:16:07and what happens came down lower so
  2584. 1:16:10again anything can happen
  2585. 1:16:11in markets it can go up it can break out
  2586. 1:16:13of resistance or it can
  2587. 1:16:14face selling pressure resistance and
  2588. 1:16:16then reverse down lower once again so
  2589. 1:16:17this is why
  2590. 1:16:18the word is could could step in so now
  2591. 1:16:21that you understand what is support and
  2592. 1:16:22resistance
  2593. 1:16:23so in essence right support is where
  2594. 1:16:25buyers could come in and push the price
  2595. 1:16:26up higher
  2596. 1:16:27resistance is an area on your chart
  2597. 1:16:29where sellers could come in and push the
  2598. 1:16:31price down
  2599. 1:16:31lower and another thing to add is that
  2600. 1:16:35when support is broken it tends to
  2601. 1:16:37become or it could
  2602. 1:16:38become resistance so let's say this is a
  2603. 1:16:40port
  2604. 1:16:41okay so support support support right
  2605. 1:16:44previous support
  2606. 1:16:45could now become resistance right where
  2607. 1:16:47fights where price could face selling
  2608. 1:16:49pressure and then continue
  2609. 1:16:50lower down for from here and vice versa
  2610. 1:16:53if
  2611. 1:16:53resistance is broken that area could now
  2612. 1:16:57become
  2613. 1:16:57support let's say this is resistance up
  2614. 1:16:59down up
  2615. 1:17:00down up down up break out come back
  2616. 1:17:03previous resistance resistance
  2617. 1:17:05resistance could become support and the
  2618. 1:17:08price could
  2619. 1:17:08possibly heat up higher from here so let
  2620. 1:17:11me share with you
  2621. 1:17:12a few charts so you can kind of like let
  2622. 1:17:13this concept sink in to your head so
  2623. 1:17:16first one here is pound canadian
  2624. 1:17:19so if you look at this uh weekly time
  2625. 1:17:21frame chart which i've marked you can
  2626. 1:17:23see
  2627. 1:17:23where is your support and resistance
  2628. 1:17:25area support right tested once twice
  2629. 1:17:27three times four times
  2630. 1:17:28the resistance that's the ones over here
  2631. 1:17:31and this is why i said it's an area on
  2632. 1:17:32your chart if you look at this over here
  2633. 1:17:33the price didn't respect
  2634. 1:17:35this level to the peak in fact you break
  2635. 1:17:36out people thought it's a breakout and
  2636. 1:17:38then came back collapsed back into the
  2637. 1:17:40range
  2638. 1:17:40once again okay so if another
  2639. 1:17:43one over here almost touching almost
  2640. 1:17:45touching it broke out
  2641. 1:17:47went back in the range again and then
  2642. 1:17:49this was almost near to the pit and then
  2643. 1:17:50went back into the range again so this
  2644. 1:17:52is why we are dealing
  2645. 1:17:53with an area but the reason why i draw
  2646. 1:17:54support resistance as lines is because
  2647. 1:17:57it's my habit it's something that i've
  2648. 1:17:59been so used to doing but if you don't
  2649. 1:18:00want
  2650. 1:18:01to uh to to face this problem of you
  2651. 1:18:05know treating this as
  2652. 1:18:06a a line or whatsoever you can use a
  2653. 1:18:09tool right i think it's called the
  2654. 1:18:10rectangle
  2655. 1:18:11tool to make your life easier this one
  2656. 1:18:14over here
  2657. 1:18:15so what you can do is just you know
  2658. 1:18:16treat this as a box and area you can
  2659. 1:18:17just draw it
  2660. 1:18:18like this like an area if that makes
  2661. 1:18:20your life easier same for this one over
  2662. 1:18:22here right
  2663. 1:18:23draw it like this to kind of know better
  2664. 1:18:25interpret it but again
  2665. 1:18:26as i've said right my preference is to
  2666. 1:18:28use a line but if you think a box method
  2667. 1:18:30would make more sense for you feel free
  2668. 1:18:32to go ahead
  2669. 1:18:33next one platinum so in this one i want
  2670. 1:18:35to share with you the eight hour time
  2671. 1:18:36frame so you can see over here
  2672. 1:18:37the concept that i've shared earlier
  2673. 1:18:40resistance right tested once tested
  2674. 1:18:41twice
  2675. 1:18:42almost three times fourth time here
  2676. 1:18:44fifth time then price breaks out
  2677. 1:18:46if price breaks out of resistance what
  2678. 1:18:48could possibly happen previous
  2679. 1:18:50resistance could become
  2680. 1:18:52support buyers could possibly step in
  2681. 1:18:54here right to push the price up higher
  2682. 1:18:56in this case it did
  2683. 1:18:57happen one more example or rather a
  2684. 1:19:00second last example this one here is
  2685. 1:19:02euro against the aussie dollar
  2686. 1:19:04this is an area of support tested once
  2687. 1:19:06tested twice came back here
  2688. 1:19:08consolidate a little breakdown re-test
  2689. 1:19:11previous support becomes resistance
  2690. 1:19:13head down lower re-test this same area
  2691. 1:19:15of resistance
  2692. 1:19:16and then continue to grind kind of lower
  2693. 1:19:19around here
  2694. 1:19:19so again this is how support resistance
  2695. 1:19:21looks like on your chart and again i
  2696. 1:19:23didn't draw the full thing i just wanted
  2697. 1:19:24to point
  2698. 1:19:25out the obvious one to share with you
  2699. 1:19:26the concepts that i've mentioned but
  2700. 1:19:28really if you want to draw another one
  2701. 1:19:29i'll say this would be another level
  2702. 1:19:30that you could look at this heist over
  2703. 1:19:32here
  2704. 1:19:34okay and one final example this one here
  2705. 1:19:36is a bitcoin
  2706. 1:19:38just to illustrate to you that you know
  2707. 1:19:39hey the concepts that i'm sharing with
  2708. 1:19:40you are can be applied to uh
  2709. 1:19:42different markets as well so if you look
  2710. 1:19:44at this one over here
  2711. 1:19:46can you see this area of support okay
  2712. 1:19:49tested almost here almost the first time
  2713. 1:19:52second
  2714. 1:19:52third fourth fifth then what happened
  2715. 1:19:54price broke
  2716. 1:19:56below support okay broke down great
  2717. 1:19:59so as you know right if price breaks
  2718. 1:20:01below support what could happen
  2719. 1:20:03previous support could become resistance
  2720. 1:20:07which happened over here previous
  2721. 1:20:08support price breakdown
  2722. 1:20:10became resistance and again support
  2723. 1:20:12resistance they are an area on your
  2724. 1:20:13chart so this is why
  2725. 1:20:15you shouldn't expect the price to reach
  2726. 1:20:17a particular
  2727. 1:20:19dollar amount or exact same right and
  2728. 1:20:20reverse from there no it's an area
  2729. 1:20:22it could exit by a lot it could exit by
  2730. 1:20:24a little bit or you can undershoot it
  2731. 1:20:25right doesn't even touch it and then
  2732. 1:20:27reverse from there
  2733. 1:20:27okay so you can see what happened next
  2734. 1:20:29right for bitcoin price continues down
  2735. 1:20:30lower and it retains right it's going to
  2736. 1:20:33retest this area of resistance
  2737. 1:20:34and watch what happens it didn't respect
  2738. 1:20:38this this area that we had drawn out
  2739. 1:20:40earlier in fact it
  2740. 1:20:41went deeper right to re-test almost this
  2741. 1:20:43highs over here so you can see i just
  2742. 1:20:45pulled it back out
  2743. 1:20:46okay so now so at this point right
  2744. 1:20:47support resistance it's kind of fluid
  2745. 1:20:49it's dynamic you have to
  2746. 1:20:50make adjustments to it from time to time
  2747. 1:20:52so if i want to look at this chart right
  2748. 1:20:53now
  2749. 1:20:53okay i wouldn't leave my line on my area
  2750. 1:20:56of resistance here i might shift it up
  2751. 1:20:57higher
  2752. 1:20:58right to take into account right the
  2753. 1:20:59recent price move so this one now would
  2754. 1:21:02make more sense because they tested this
  2755. 1:21:03one here once and twice over here
  2756. 1:21:05so let's see what happens next then
  2757. 1:21:07price i'm going to zoom out a little bit
  2758. 1:21:09price then re-test this for a third time
  2759. 1:21:12over here and then it
  2760. 1:21:15finally broke out so price has broke out
  2761. 1:21:17of resistance so as you know if price
  2762. 1:21:19breaks out of resistance
  2763. 1:21:20what could possibly happen previous
  2764. 1:21:23resistance could become
  2765. 1:21:25support right previous resistance could
  2766. 1:21:27now become
  2767. 1:21:28support buyers could possibly step in
  2768. 1:21:31could step in
  2769. 1:21:32and push the price up higher which he
  2770. 1:21:34did in this case and of course all these
  2771. 1:21:35charts are cherry picked right just to
  2772. 1:21:37you know
  2773. 1:21:37make sure that the teachings the
  2774. 1:21:38concepts that i'm teaching you right are
  2775. 1:21:40crystal clear in the
  2776. 1:21:41real world of trading right there are
  2777. 1:21:42things that often things will not go
  2778. 1:21:44away and
  2779. 1:21:45you know you have to be prepared for it
  2780. 1:21:47[Music]
  2781. 1:21:49okay so in this section right it's about
  2782. 1:21:52entry trigger so let's do a quick recap
  2783. 1:21:54what you've learned so far so so far you
  2784. 1:21:56have learned about market structure it
  2785. 1:21:57tells you
  2786. 1:21:58what to do should you be looking for
  2787. 1:21:59buying opportunities selling
  2788. 1:22:01opportunities or to stay out of the
  2789. 1:22:02markets
  2790. 1:22:03there we covered about area of value
  2791. 1:22:04there are two things we covered in area
  2792. 1:22:06of value
  2793. 1:22:06support resistance and moving average
  2794. 1:22:08and these are tools that you can
  2795. 1:22:10use right to tell you know where to buy
  2796. 1:22:12or sell so
  2797. 1:22:13market structure tells you what to do
  2798. 1:22:15area of value tells you
  2799. 1:22:16where to buy or sell and now we're
  2800. 1:22:18moving to the third component entry
  2801. 1:22:20trigger this tells you
  2802. 1:22:22when to buy or sell okay so
  2803. 1:22:26entry trigger there are many ways you
  2804. 1:22:28know you can
  2805. 1:22:29use the many tools out there to help you
  2806. 1:22:31time the market but what i find
  2807. 1:22:32personally to be very useful is
  2808. 1:22:33candlestick
  2809. 1:22:34patterns and i want to dive deeper into
  2810. 1:22:36this section since i find it so
  2811. 1:22:38useful so what is candlestick pattern so
  2812. 1:22:42candlestick patterns is a method of
  2813. 1:22:43reading a price chart of course it's not
  2814. 1:22:45the only way you have bar chart you have
  2815. 1:22:47line chart of all the different types of
  2816. 1:22:48chart out there
  2817. 1:22:49so candlestick pattern is just one of
  2818. 1:22:51the methods to read the price chart and
  2819. 1:22:52it's obviously one of the more popular
  2820. 1:22:54approaches
  2821. 1:22:54so how do you actually read a
  2822. 1:22:56candlestick pattern one thing to
  2823. 1:22:57understand is that there is four data
  2824. 1:22:59points for every candlestick pattern
  2825. 1:23:01you have the opening price the closing
  2826. 1:23:04price
  2827. 1:23:05and the high and low of the session so
  2828. 1:23:07if your candlestick pattern is let's say
  2829. 1:23:09on the
  2830. 1:23:10one hour time frame then what you'll see
  2831. 1:23:12is that the highest
  2832. 1:23:13price point over the over the last one
  2833. 1:23:15hour and the low
  2834. 1:23:16is the lowest price point over the past
  2835. 1:23:18one hour so a little bit more about
  2836. 1:23:20candlestick patterns is that you can use
  2837. 1:23:22it
  2838. 1:23:23to trade different time frames so for
  2839. 1:23:26example if you see a candlestick pattern
  2840. 1:23:28on the one hour time frame it simply
  2841. 1:23:29means that on a one hour time frame
  2842. 1:23:31every one hour a new candle is formed if
  2843. 1:23:33it's on the four hour time frame every
  2844. 1:23:35new candle is formed
  2845. 1:23:36every four hours and if you're on the
  2846. 1:23:38daily time frame one candle is formed
  2847. 1:23:39every single day
  2848. 1:23:41same for the weekly monthly same concept
  2849. 1:23:43so now let me explain you know
  2850. 1:23:45how to actually read a candlestick
  2851. 1:23:47pattern so you'll see
  2852. 1:23:48primarily two types of candlestick
  2853. 1:23:50pattern one is green and one is red
  2854. 1:23:52but let's talk about the green one first
  2855. 1:23:54so remember i said that there are four
  2856. 1:23:56data points so how do you actually know
  2857. 1:23:59know where the four data points so very
  2858. 1:24:01simple for green candle it simply means
  2859. 1:24:03right that the price has closed
  2860. 1:24:05above right the opening price so let's
  2861. 1:24:07say this is like a one hour candle okay
  2862. 1:24:09let's say this is a one hour candle
  2863. 1:24:10so what it tells you that the price
  2864. 1:24:12right has closed
  2865. 1:24:14right higher than where it was one hour
  2866. 1:24:16ago so that's why it's great right he
  2867. 1:24:18has closed higher
  2868. 1:24:19you know compared to where it was at the
  2869. 1:24:21opening price one hour ago so that's why
  2870. 1:24:23it's great so the opening price
  2871. 1:24:24will be at here and the closing price
  2872. 1:24:28will be here this is the only way for
  2873. 1:24:30the closing price to be above the
  2874. 1:24:31opening price the closing price has to
  2875. 1:24:32be higher than it so that's why it's
  2876. 1:24:33green
  2877. 1:24:34it's bullish so the opening price was
  2878. 1:24:36once again over here at this line
  2879. 1:24:38and over here is the closing price we'll
  2880. 1:24:40add in some numbers later on so you can
  2881. 1:24:42see how it all makes sense
  2882. 1:24:43so what about here this simply means is
  2883. 1:24:45the highest price point over the last
  2884. 1:24:47one hour if you're on the one hour time
  2885. 1:24:48frame
  2886. 1:24:49and this is the lowest price the market
  2887. 1:24:51has win right
  2888. 1:24:53during the past one one hour right is
  2889. 1:24:56the lowest price point so this is the
  2890. 1:24:57high highest price point over the past
  2891. 1:24:59one hour
  2892. 1:25:00and the lowest price point over the past
  2893. 1:25:02one hour of course if we change this to
  2894. 1:25:03a different time frame to the eight hour
  2895. 1:25:05time frame the
  2896. 1:25:05daily timeframe concept is the same so
  2897. 1:25:07let's say we try the weekly time frame
  2898. 1:25:10let's take another one hour the weekly
  2899. 1:25:11time frame so what does it mean it means
  2900. 1:25:13that
  2901. 1:25:13at this price point of the candle that
  2902. 1:25:15is the highest price point right
  2903. 1:25:18over the week over the past one week and
  2904. 1:25:21this is the lowest price point over the
  2905. 1:25:22past one week over here
  2906. 1:25:23and this is the opening price of the
  2907. 1:25:24week and this is the closing price of
  2908. 1:25:26the week so same same concept
  2909. 1:25:29so now what about great candle so this
  2910. 1:25:31is just the inverse so if you recall
  2911. 1:25:33this over here was the closing and this
  2912. 1:25:35is the opening
  2913. 1:25:36so the closing price is higher than the
  2914. 1:25:38opening price that's why it's bullish
  2915. 1:25:39that's why it's green
  2916. 1:25:40but for a rate candle it simply means
  2917. 1:25:41that the closing price is below
  2918. 1:25:44the opening price i repeat right the
  2919. 1:25:46closing price is below
  2920. 1:25:47the opening price for a rate bearish
  2921. 1:25:49candle so your closing price has to be
  2922. 1:25:51here
  2923. 1:25:52see and over here is your opening price
  2924. 1:25:54that's the only way right for this
  2925. 1:25:55candle to close lower
  2926. 1:25:56is if the closing price is below the
  2927. 1:25:58opening price and likewise over here
  2928. 1:26:01is the highest and this is the lows
  2929. 1:26:03exactly the same
  2930. 1:26:05concept so if i do you know piece all
  2931. 1:26:06this together you will have a chart that
  2932. 1:26:08looks like this
  2933. 1:26:10okay this is what i just said earlier so
  2934. 1:26:12a little bit more uh
  2935. 1:26:13so-called technical definition if you
  2936. 1:26:15want so we call this color thing the
  2937. 1:26:17body
  2938. 1:26:18and this this line over here we call
  2939. 1:26:20this the
  2940. 1:26:21upper wick or upper shadow whichever you
  2941. 1:26:23know whichever term that you prefer
  2942. 1:26:25there's no right or wrong over here and
  2943. 1:26:27this is what we call the lower wick
  2944. 1:26:29or lower shadow okay so this is how you
  2945. 1:26:32read a candlestick
  2946. 1:26:34pattern now moving on let's let me
  2947. 1:26:37let me share with you how it looks like
  2948. 1:26:39right on a real chart and how you
  2949. 1:26:41interpret it
  2950. 1:26:43so i'm going to look at this uh
  2951. 1:26:46currency pair let's look at the daily
  2952. 1:26:47time frame this is aussie against the
  2953. 1:26:49japanese here and i'm going to zoom in
  2954. 1:26:50so you can see what
  2955. 1:26:51so we are on the same page so you can
  2956. 1:26:53see over here i am going to
  2957. 1:26:55i want you to pay attention to these
  2958. 1:26:57numbers over here right this is the
  2959. 1:26:58opening price
  2960. 1:27:00this is the highest price point over the
  2961. 1:27:01last one day this is the lowest price
  2962. 1:27:03point over the past one day and this is
  2963. 1:27:05the closing price
  2964. 1:27:06and is the percentage change right in
  2965. 1:27:08pips so this number will move right
  2966. 1:27:09depending where my mom's cursor is so
  2967. 1:27:11pay attention
  2968. 1:27:12so let's look at the most recent one
  2969. 1:27:13this candle here how do we interpret
  2970. 1:27:15this so let's interpret this together
  2971. 1:27:17one by one so for this candle it tells
  2972. 1:27:19you that this market
  2973. 1:27:20opened at 83 589 so it opened at this
  2974. 1:27:23price point
  2975. 1:27:2483 589 the highest price point for the
  2976. 1:27:27day is 83.788 which is over here 83.78
  2977. 1:27:33the low of the day is 83.036 which is
  2978. 1:27:36here the low of the day
  2979. 1:27:3783.036 and the closing price for this
  2980. 1:27:40this uh this market for this day is
  2981. 1:27:4483.529 which is at this price
  2982. 1:27:46point over here does it make sense so
  2983. 1:27:48let's do one more example
  2984. 1:27:49how about the dollar against the
  2985. 1:27:51japanese yen okay now we have a green
  2986. 1:27:52candle
  2987. 1:27:53so same same thing right for this market
  2988. 1:27:56the opening price what does it say
  2989. 1:27:58109.248 this is the opening price 109
  2990. 1:28:02248 where is the highest price point for
  2991. 1:28:04the day
  2992. 1:28:05109.96 109.96
  2993. 1:28:08where is the lowest price point for the
  2994. 1:28:10day 109.193
  2995. 1:28:13over here 109.193 and where is the
  2996. 1:28:16closing price for the day 109.614
  2997. 1:28:20109.614 and along the ways you will
  2998. 1:28:23probably see
  2999. 1:28:24some candles where they are missing a
  3000. 1:28:25body man the candle is weird right now
  3001. 1:28:27where's the body
  3002. 1:28:28so this is usually when you're opening
  3003. 1:28:30and closing price are too near one
  3004. 1:28:32another where you get a very
  3005. 1:28:33almost a non-existent body kind of like
  3006. 1:28:35this one here look at this right almost
  3007. 1:28:37a non-existent body so yeah it happens
  3008. 1:28:39especially when the opening price
  3009. 1:28:40and the closing price are very near each
  3010. 1:28:43other so if you have a look at this
  3011. 1:28:44right
  3012. 1:28:44let me just see what the numbers are so
  3013. 1:28:46you don't freak out
  3014. 1:28:48so for this candle the opening price
  3015. 1:28:51uh opening price for this is 103.76
  3016. 1:28:54and the closing price is 103.75 okay so
  3017. 1:28:57this is why
  3018. 1:28:58you can see they are just like a three
  3019. 1:29:00pipette different 0.3
  3020. 1:29:02pips different so that's why their body
  3021. 1:29:05is almost non-existent
  3022. 1:29:06so this is how you actually read a
  3023. 1:29:08japanese candlestick
  3024. 1:29:10chart so moving on right so now you know
  3025. 1:29:12the basics right how do you actually you
  3026. 1:29:14know
  3027. 1:29:14or rather how do you use it to time your
  3028. 1:29:16entries so to do that right you want to
  3029. 1:29:18focus or learn a few patterns right to
  3030. 1:29:21help you do so and there are two
  3031. 1:29:22patterns
  3032. 1:29:23or maybe four patterns i want to share
  3033. 1:29:24with you so first let's talk about the
  3034. 1:29:26bullish
  3035. 1:29:26reversal candlestick pattern and
  3036. 1:29:28understand you know what is it how it
  3037. 1:29:29works
  3038. 1:29:30and the story behind it so the first
  3039. 1:29:32pattern i want to share with you is what
  3040. 1:29:33we call
  3041. 1:29:34a hammer so different candlestick
  3042. 1:29:36patterns they have different names they
  3043. 1:29:37have hammer harami engulfing you know
  3044. 1:29:39dark cloud cover and stuff like that so
  3045. 1:29:40that's really really really a lot out
  3046. 1:29:42there but i'm not gonna teach you
  3047. 1:29:43everything because
  3048. 1:29:44it's not needed right as you progress
  3049. 1:29:45and learn and grow as a trader you
  3050. 1:29:47realize that hey
  3051. 1:29:48most of these patterns are pretty much a
  3052. 1:29:49variation of one another so i'm going to
  3053. 1:29:51share with you the most common
  3054. 1:29:52variations the most useful ones and
  3055. 1:29:53after which you can go on and explore
  3056. 1:29:55the other you know patterns out there
  3057. 1:29:57and of course the basics i've already
  3058. 1:29:58taught you so
  3059. 1:29:58you can just you know stack upon what
  3060. 1:30:00you've learned and to to learn even more
  3061. 1:30:03so first one is what i call ornate i
  3062. 1:30:05call it right people
  3063. 1:30:07you know others out there the
  3064. 1:30:09technicians call it a hammer so let's
  3065. 1:30:10understand what
  3066. 1:30:11hammer is about so again where is the
  3067. 1:30:13opening price price open over here
  3068. 1:30:16where is the closing price for green
  3069. 1:30:17candle the closing price has to be above
  3070. 1:30:19the opening price
  3071. 1:30:20so it's here where is the high of the
  3072. 1:30:22day
  3073. 1:30:23over here so let's assume that this is
  3074. 1:30:25the daily candle right the high of the
  3075. 1:30:26day is here
  3076. 1:30:27and the low of the day is over here so
  3077. 1:30:29what's the story
  3078. 1:30:30of this hammer so it's quite interesting
  3079. 1:30:31right you can imagine like that for when
  3080. 1:30:33the market opened
  3081. 1:30:34over here the sellers they were in
  3082. 1:30:36control like
  3083. 1:30:37out of the gate right here like
  3084. 1:30:38barbara's you know running out the gates
  3085. 1:30:39and they pushed the market they pushed
  3086. 1:30:41the price down near the lows
  3087. 1:30:43of the day then when all the buyers they
  3088. 1:30:45all defeated all right then somehow
  3089. 1:30:46rather
  3090. 1:30:47there's like one tour one captain
  3091. 1:30:48america from the middle of nowhere
  3092. 1:30:50shelter
  3093. 1:30:50vengers assemble and then they all unite
  3094. 1:30:52and you know push the price up all the
  3095. 1:30:54way up higher
  3096. 1:30:55finally closing near the highest of the
  3097. 1:30:57day so you can imagine that this kind of
  3098. 1:30:58tuck of four
  3099. 1:30:59between the buyers and sellers right
  3100. 1:31:00when market open sellers came in with
  3101. 1:31:02smash and you know
  3102. 1:31:03uh push the price all the way down
  3103. 1:31:05suddenly sometimes in the middle of the
  3104. 1:31:06day the buyers they woke up right they
  3105. 1:31:08assemble the united and they push
  3106. 1:31:09the market all the way up to close near
  3107. 1:31:11the highs of the day so this tells you
  3108. 1:31:13that hey you know the buyers are now
  3109. 1:31:14in control that's why they managed to
  3110. 1:31:15push the price right push the price all
  3111. 1:31:17the way
  3112. 1:31:18near the highs of the day and this is
  3113. 1:31:19what we call a hammer because you kind
  3114. 1:31:20of look like a hammer
  3115. 1:31:23okay so another another pattern that's
  3116. 1:31:25worth learning is what we call a bullish
  3117. 1:31:27engulfing pattern so the story is very
  3118. 1:31:28similar but this time around it's
  3119. 1:31:30expressed right using two candles so for
  3120. 1:31:32this one over here this is a rate
  3121. 1:31:34bearish candle so you can see that the
  3122. 1:31:35sellers took control and closed the
  3123. 1:31:38price right near the lows of the day so
  3124. 1:31:39the buyers were all defeated ah
  3125. 1:31:40you know injured already painful the
  3126. 1:31:42next day right somehow the
  3127. 1:31:44the buyers they got revived right they
  3128. 1:31:46grew stronger right maybe they put you
  3129. 1:31:47know a little bit too much steroids in
  3130. 1:31:48their body or
  3131. 1:31:49or whatsoever it takes a magic potion
  3132. 1:31:50and they they push the price right to
  3133. 1:31:52close near the highest of the day once
  3134. 1:31:54again
  3135. 1:31:54so they pretty much just overwhelm right
  3136. 1:31:56the selling pressure of the previous day
  3137. 1:31:58how do i know that because you can see
  3138. 1:31:59that the range
  3139. 1:32:00of the candle or the range of the body
  3140. 1:32:02over here was previous previously from
  3141. 1:32:04this opening price
  3142. 1:32:06to this closing price but the next day
  3143. 1:32:08it opened low
  3144. 1:32:09and closed even higher than the previous
  3145. 1:32:11day opening price so you can see that
  3146. 1:32:12the buyers has even overwhelmed right
  3147. 1:32:14the
  3148. 1:32:14the sellers right by a lit even a little
  3149. 1:32:16bit more so this is what we call a
  3150. 1:32:18bullish
  3151. 1:32:18engulfing pattern so next one the
  3152. 1:32:22opposite of uh
  3153. 1:32:23bullish candlestick patterns right this
  3154. 1:32:25is what we call the bearish reversal
  3155. 1:32:26candlestick pattern so there are two
  3156. 1:32:28as well this one is called a shooting
  3157. 1:32:30star so this is actually the inverse of
  3158. 1:32:31a hammer
  3159. 1:32:32i'll just explain the story behind this
  3160. 1:32:34so since you know it's a red color
  3161. 1:32:35candle opening price
  3162. 1:32:37is here closing price is here so what
  3163. 1:32:40happened right so you can see that
  3164. 1:32:42when the day started right let's say
  3165. 1:32:43this is a daily candle buyers push the
  3166. 1:32:45price all the way up
  3167. 1:32:46this higher and mark this highs for the
  3168. 1:32:48day and then
  3169. 1:32:50suddenly the sellers came in you know
  3170. 1:32:51took control
  3171. 1:32:53and push the price near the lows of the
  3172. 1:32:55day finally closing near the lows
  3173. 1:32:57of the day i saw the buyers so you know
  3174. 1:32:59when the market just opened oh i'm
  3175. 1:33:01really excited
  3176. 1:33:02you know let's push the price up higher
  3177. 1:33:03then somehow middle of the day you know
  3178. 1:33:04things got depressed you know maybe you
  3179. 1:33:06know
  3180. 1:33:06he got reminded of his ex-girlfriend
  3181. 1:33:08item this ex-sweater let me throw this
  3182. 1:33:10sweater let me sell sell everything
  3183. 1:33:11and then the market collapsed and sell
  3184. 1:33:13sold off and nearly pretty much closed
  3185. 1:33:14near the lows of the day so you can see
  3186. 1:33:16that
  3187. 1:33:16initially buyers they had the upper hand
  3188. 1:33:18but they were overwhelmed by the sellers
  3189. 1:33:20right towards the end of the day so this
  3190. 1:33:21is where you get
  3191. 1:33:22a shooting star so for this
  3192. 1:33:25bearish engulfing pattern right it's
  3193. 1:33:27pretty much uh
  3194. 1:33:28same uh similar story so we can see for
  3195. 1:33:31the first candle
  3196. 1:33:32it is bullish right buyers are happy
  3197. 1:33:34woohoo i celebrate right they have
  3198. 1:33:36closed near the highs of the day
  3199. 1:33:37but for the second day right the sellers
  3200. 1:33:38took control and pushed the price right
  3201. 1:33:41all the way down lower
  3202. 1:33:42exceeding even below the lows of the
  3203. 1:33:44previous day and the and even the
  3204. 1:33:46opening price
  3205. 1:33:47of the previous day they closed near the
  3206. 1:33:48lows over here so we can see that the
  3207. 1:33:50buyers once again they were defeated ah
  3208. 1:33:51i know
  3209. 1:33:52you know injured hospitalized and
  3210. 1:33:53they'll never i won't i don't want to
  3211. 1:33:54say
  3212. 1:33:55never to recover because in the market
  3213. 1:33:56it always always goes up goes down so
  3214. 1:33:58for now
  3215. 1:33:59i would say the sellers has temporarily
  3216. 1:34:01won the war
  3217. 1:34:02okay for now so let me share with you a
  3218. 1:34:05a few uh charts all right so you know
  3219. 1:34:08how this looks like
  3220. 1:34:09on the chart and you can see that you
  3221. 1:34:10know all the different variations of it
  3222. 1:34:12out there
  3223. 1:34:13so let me point out to you the first one
  3224. 1:34:14let's have a look at how about
  3225. 1:34:19dollar against the japanese yen so you
  3226. 1:34:21can see over here
  3227. 1:34:23this one looks something like a in
  3228. 1:34:26between a shooting star and a bearish
  3229. 1:34:28engulfing
  3230. 1:34:29pattern then we have this one as well
  3231. 1:34:33more of a shooting star
  3232. 1:34:36if you look at other example like euro
  3233. 1:34:38against the usd
  3234. 1:34:40you can see over here this is similar to
  3235. 1:34:42shooting star but the difference
  3236. 1:34:43is the body of the candle is green so
  3237. 1:34:46again when you trade the markets right
  3238. 1:34:47it doesn't
  3239. 1:34:48mean that it has to be a textbook
  3240. 1:34:49example it has to be rate to be red
  3241. 1:34:50color sometimes it can be green as well
  3242. 1:34:52but the meaning is pretty much the same
  3243. 1:34:53because if you look at this right
  3244. 1:34:54this is the price rejection that you
  3245. 1:34:56have seen right the buyers tried to push
  3246. 1:34:57the price up higher but got overwhelmed
  3247. 1:34:59by the sellers and finally
  3248. 1:35:00close right near the lows near the
  3249. 1:35:02opening opening price of the day
  3250. 1:35:05over here you have a bearish engulfing
  3251. 1:35:07pattern right look at how this range of
  3252. 1:35:09the candle has you know
  3253. 1:35:10overcome right the body of the previous
  3254. 1:35:13day
  3255. 1:35:15and uh this is a bullish engulfing
  3256. 1:35:16pattern notice how the body of this
  3257. 1:35:18candle has you know
  3258. 1:35:19uh is larger right and close right even
  3259. 1:35:22above the
  3260. 1:35:23highs and the opening price of the
  3261. 1:35:25previous day this is a bullish engulfing
  3262. 1:35:27pattern
  3263. 1:35:28and then this is another bearish
  3264. 1:35:29engulfing pattern and yeah so later
  3265. 1:35:32we'll look at some
  3266. 1:35:32chart examples uh you know in terms of
  3267. 1:35:35the uh
  3268. 1:35:36the market structure area value entry
  3269. 1:35:38trigger and stuff like that but for now
  3270. 1:35:40let's do a quick
  3271. 1:35:42recap so i know i've covered a lot so
  3272. 1:35:44number one
  3273. 1:35:45remember market structure it tells you
  3274. 1:35:47what to do should you be looking for
  3275. 1:35:48buying opportunities
  3276. 1:35:49selling opportunities or to stay out of
  3277. 1:35:51the markets then we have area of value
  3278. 1:35:53which tells you know where to enter a
  3279. 1:35:55trade you know
  3280. 1:35:56where and finally the thing that we just
  3281. 1:35:58covered entry trigger
  3282. 1:35:59tells you when to enter a trade
  3283. 1:36:02and by the way if you're enjoying this

  3288. 1:36:10now moving on let's look at some real
  3289. 1:36:12world
  3290. 1:36:13trading examples and to combine the
  3291. 1:36:16trading strategies
  3292. 1:36:17techniques and concepts that you have
  3293. 1:36:18learned right and see how we can apply
  3294. 1:36:20it to the
  3295. 1:36:20real world of trading using real
  3296. 1:36:23chatting
  3297. 1:36:24examples so this is the chart of
  3298. 1:36:28dollar against the south african rent as
  3299. 1:36:30you can see over here on
  3300. 1:36:31this is on the daily time frame so first
  3301. 1:36:33and foremost let's ask
  3302. 1:36:35ourselves what is the market structure
  3303. 1:36:37so when we are
  3304. 1:36:38trading the markets this is the first
  3305. 1:36:39question that we want to ask ourselves
  3306. 1:36:41what is the market structure this would
  3307. 1:36:42tell us you know what to do whether to
  3308. 1:36:44be a buyer seller
  3309. 1:36:45or to stay out of the markets so if you
  3310. 1:36:47look at this market structure we see a
  3311. 1:36:48series of lower highs
  3312. 1:36:49lower highs lower high and lower low
  3313. 1:36:52lower low
  3314. 1:36:52lower low so we can see that this market
  3315. 1:36:54the market structure is in a
  3316. 1:36:56downtrend second thing the area of value
  3317. 1:37:00let's put it aov
  3318. 1:37:01is there an area of value over here so
  3319. 1:37:03you know area of value could be things
  3320. 1:37:05like moving average
  3321. 1:37:06support resistance so from what i'm
  3322. 1:37:07seeing over here there
  3323. 1:37:09is an area of value over here i can just
  3324. 1:37:11use it this tool over here
  3325. 1:37:13and to draw this area of resistance over
  3326. 1:37:16here
  3327. 1:37:17i'll just change this to black color
  3328. 1:37:19okay so now we have an area of value
  3329. 1:37:21over here so do we have a valid entry
  3330. 1:37:24trigger so remember the candlestick
  3331. 1:37:27module
  3332. 1:37:28or section that we just covered this
  3333. 1:37:29over here looks like a
  3334. 1:37:31bearish engulfing pattern all right so
  3335. 1:37:34let's
  3336. 1:37:34call it a bearish engulfing pattern so
  3337. 1:37:38from the looks of it right we have a
  3338. 1:37:39numerous
  3339. 1:37:40factor right working in our favor number
  3340. 1:37:42one the market structure is in the
  3341. 1:37:43downtrend
  3342. 1:37:44area of value the price is at resistance
  3343. 1:37:46our entry trigger we have
  3344. 1:37:48a bearish engulfing pattern that's being
  3345. 1:37:50formed so in this case
  3346. 1:37:51we can look for a short trade right to
  3347. 1:37:53shop this market in expectation of
  3348. 1:37:55lower prices and of course right this is
  3349. 1:37:56clearly a cherry pick chart in this case
  3350. 1:37:59the price you know
  3351. 1:37:59did when in our favor
  3352. 1:38:03okay so now moving on let's look at
  3353. 1:38:06another trading example right using the
  3354. 1:38:07market structure area of value and
  3355. 1:38:09candlestick patterns that you've just
  3356. 1:38:10learned and you know use it to help you
  3357. 1:38:12make a trading decision to to know
  3358. 1:38:14whether to buy
  3359. 1:38:14or sell so again let's revisit right
  3360. 1:38:18what we have learned number one ask
  3361. 1:38:19ourselves what is the market structure
  3362. 1:38:21of this currency pair this currency pair
  3363. 1:38:23is new zealand yen
  3364. 1:38:24on the eight hour time frame so market
  3365. 1:38:26structure as you can see this market
  3366. 1:38:27structure is in an uptrend
  3367. 1:38:29price forming a series of higher highs
  3368. 1:38:31and higher lows here
  3369. 1:38:32higher low higher low higher high higher
  3370. 1:38:35high
  3371. 1:38:35okay what about area of value can you
  3372. 1:38:37see it being
  3373. 1:38:39near any area of value so from what i'm
  3374. 1:38:41seeing over here the price
  3375. 1:38:42has retested this area of support right
  3376. 1:38:45support support and support and also
  3377. 1:38:48previously this was actually resistant
  3378. 1:38:50so
  3379. 1:38:50price broke out of this swing high
  3380. 1:38:52resistance it became support
  3381. 1:38:54now what about entry trigger is there
  3382. 1:38:56any like signal entry trigger that tells
  3383. 1:38:58us hey
  3384. 1:38:58it's time to enter a trade so if you
  3385. 1:39:01look at this candlestick pattern right
  3386. 1:39:02this over here
  3387. 1:39:03what does it look like to you this right
  3388. 1:39:06i would say it's close to a bullish
  3389. 1:39:07engulfing pattern but as per the
  3390. 1:39:09definition of bullish engulfing pattern
  3391. 1:39:10this isn't quite one because this
  3392. 1:39:12green candle didn't cover the body right
  3393. 1:39:14of this red candle but that
  3394. 1:39:15isn't going to stop us and say hey you
  3395. 1:39:17know this is not a bullish signal it's
  3396. 1:39:18not time to enter because
  3397. 1:39:19if you read the candlestick pattern if
  3398. 1:39:21you read the price section it's telling
  3399. 1:39:22you that the buyers
  3400. 1:39:23they did right close higher for the day
  3401. 1:39:26and they did show
  3402. 1:39:27you signs of strength right closing near
  3403. 1:39:28the highest of the day and almost right
  3404. 1:39:30the previous day opening price so it
  3405. 1:39:32closed pretty strongly so this
  3406. 1:39:34few reasons right the market structure
  3407. 1:39:36the area of value and the entry trigger
  3408. 1:39:38right
  3409. 1:39:38is uh the story is telling you that hey
  3410. 1:39:41you can now look for
  3411. 1:39:42a buying opportunity so what you can do
  3412. 1:39:44is you can enter on the next day
  3413. 1:39:45open let's say on this candle here the
  3414. 1:39:47next day open which is on
  3415. 1:39:49this candle here okay so now what about
  3416. 1:39:52stop loss now you know where to enter
  3417. 1:39:53which is very
  3418. 1:39:54simple the next day open but stop loss
  3419. 1:39:55is something that i've not covered and i
  3420. 1:39:56want to
  3421. 1:39:57talk about in this uh this example here
  3422. 1:39:59since it's quite straightforward
  3423. 1:40:00so when it comes to stop-loss right you
  3424. 1:40:02want to set your stop-loss
  3425. 1:40:03at a level which invalidates your
  3426. 1:40:06trading setup so what i mean by this so
  3427. 1:40:07for this particular trading setup that
  3428. 1:40:09you're trading you're trading
  3429. 1:40:10is you know in the direction of the
  3430. 1:40:11trend uptrend and
  3431. 1:40:13buying near an area of support so this
  3432. 1:40:15means that if the price
  3433. 1:40:17breaks below the pawn then it means your
  3434. 1:40:20so-called hypothesis right is wrong
  3435. 1:40:22right because this is the area of
  3436. 1:40:23support that you expect
  3437. 1:40:25the price to hold if the price breaks
  3438. 1:40:27below this area of support and clearly
  3439. 1:40:29this so-called theory this hypothesis
  3440. 1:40:31that he had that this trade could hit
  3441. 1:40:33move higher
  3442. 1:40:34is clearly wrong and you want to exit
  3443. 1:40:35your trade so to do this right it's a
  3444. 1:40:37very simple
  3445. 1:40:38what you want to do is to set your stop
  3446. 1:40:39loss at a level right which will
  3447. 1:40:41so-called
  3448. 1:40:41break support so if you look at this
  3449. 1:40:43right clearly you know anywhere from you
  3450. 1:40:45know 72
  3451. 1:40:4650 or below right at this level clearly
  3452. 1:40:49clearly if the price breaks down and he
  3453. 1:40:51hit this level this area of support
  3454. 1:40:53is broken and you want to exit your
  3455. 1:40:54trade but so is there a objective way
  3456. 1:40:57you know to set your stop loss instead
  3457. 1:40:58of just blindly you know putting it at
  3458. 1:41:00some
  3459. 1:41:00level that looks like you know far away
  3460. 1:41:02from support and the answer is of course
  3461. 1:41:04yes right and to do that you can use an
  3462. 1:41:06indicator called the average true range
  3463. 1:41:08so over here i've shown you this
  3464. 1:41:09indicator below but i'll show you where
  3465. 1:41:11to get it just
  3466. 1:41:12go to indicator tab search atr average
  3467. 1:41:15to range
  3468. 1:41:16it will come out as this one over here
  3469. 1:41:17the settings i like to use is 20 period
  3470. 1:41:19atr using sma so this is just my
  3471. 1:41:22preference over here
  3472. 1:41:23and as you can see right now the atr
  3473. 1:41:25value is about 0.32 about 32 pips so
  3474. 1:41:28what this tells you is that on this time
  3475. 1:41:30frame
  3476. 1:41:31for new zealand yen on the eight hour
  3477. 1:41:32time frame over the last
  3478. 1:41:3420 candles right this currency pair
  3479. 1:41:36moves an average of about 32
  3480. 1:41:38pips on average i'm not saying every
  3481. 1:41:40single cannon but every single candle
  3482. 1:41:42but on average over the last 20 candles
  3483. 1:41:44or so
  3484. 1:41:44this currency pair has moved about 32
  3485. 1:41:46pips so what this means is that you can
  3486. 1:41:48actually use this value
  3487. 1:41:50right and give it some buffer right to
  3488. 1:41:52set your stop loss below
  3489. 1:41:54support so let's say for example the
  3490. 1:41:55lows of support is at this level over
  3491. 1:41:57here
  3492. 1:41:57what you can do is take this level and
  3493. 1:41:59minus let's say this level is x
  3494. 1:42:01right and you minus this atr value this
  3495. 1:42:04one atr value
  3496. 1:42:06okay so one atr is equal to 32 pips
  3497. 1:42:08right and let's say you get the value of
  3498. 1:42:09y
  3499. 1:42:09so let's say y is somewhere about here
  3500. 1:42:11this right can be your stop-loss and
  3501. 1:42:13it's an objective way to set your
  3502. 1:42:14stop-loss based on the
  3503. 1:42:15volatility of the market since atr
  3504. 1:42:18indicator you know
  3505. 1:42:19takes into account the volatility of the
  3506. 1:42:20market so let me walk you through how to
  3507. 1:42:23actually set your stop-loss so what you
  3508. 1:42:24want to do is to find out what is this
  3509. 1:42:27low of support so in this case at the
  3510. 1:42:28low of support the value is on this
  3511. 1:42:30candle here and
  3512. 1:42:31the value is about from what i'm seeing
  3513. 1:42:34over here it's
  3514. 1:42:3672 and 72.72 so you just look at this l
  3515. 1:42:40value which is the low of the candle and
  3516. 1:42:41you can see it's about seven
  3517. 1:42:43seven two dot seven two so what i'm
  3518. 1:42:45gonna do is take seven two dot seven two
  3519. 1:42:47minus thirty two pips sorry seven two
  3520. 1:42:50dot seven
  3521. 1:42:50two and a minus thirty two pips which is
  3522. 1:42:53zero point
  3523. 1:42:54three two that is going to give me a
  3524. 1:42:57value of about 72.4
  3525. 1:43:00am i right okay so what i'll do is i
  3526. 1:43:03will set my stop loss at this level
  3527. 1:43:05at 72.4 change this to rate so you can
  3528. 1:43:08see it better
  3529. 1:43:09and your stop loss will be at 72.4
  3530. 1:43:13okay so as you can see over here i will
  3531. 1:43:15show you where your entry point entry
  3532. 1:43:17point is on the next day open the candle
  3533. 1:43:19i'll put it in green
  3534. 1:43:20so you can see it green okay and there
  3535. 1:43:24you have it right so this is
  3536. 1:43:25this candle here this candle here the
  3537. 1:43:27opening price is where you
  3538. 1:43:29look to buy this rate level here is your
  3539. 1:43:31stop loss so now let's take things
  3540. 1:43:33a step further right if you have a 10
  3541. 1:43:36000
  3542. 1:43:37trading account and you want to raise
  3543. 1:43:39one percent risk
  3544. 1:43:40on each trade how many units of new
  3545. 1:43:43zealand yen can you buy
  3546. 1:43:44aha okay so now what we need to do is to
  3547. 1:43:47again revisit the concepts that you've
  3548. 1:43:48learned so what you'll do is
  3549. 1:43:49first and foremost measure the
  3550. 1:43:53the uh your entry price to your
  3551. 1:43:54stop-loss so your entry price let's say
  3552. 1:43:56let's make this more precise let's say
  3553. 1:43:58your entry price is at this
  3554. 1:43:59opening price of this candle which is
  3555. 1:44:01about 73.31 okay so
  3556. 1:44:03i'm going to change this to 73.31 and
  3557. 1:44:06your stop loss is 72.4
  3558. 1:44:08so you take 72.31 672.31
  3559. 1:44:14minus 72.4 that gives me a 91 pip stop
  3560. 1:44:17loss 91 pips
  3561. 1:44:19okay so what do we do with this
  3562. 1:44:21information so how do i get 73.31 again
  3563. 1:44:24the entry price on this candle over here
  3564. 1:44:26the opening price is 73.31
  3565. 1:44:28stop loss at 72.4 which is this level
  3566. 1:44:30here minus one atr
  3567. 1:44:32and it gives us 72.4 as our stop loss
  3568. 1:44:35and we take the entry price
  3569. 1:44:36minus your stop loss right and this is
  3570. 1:44:39your distance right
  3571. 1:44:40in pips right for stop loss so in other
  3572. 1:44:42words from your entry price
  3573. 1:44:44here all the way down to here is 91
  3574. 1:44:48pips so now the question is how
  3575. 1:44:52many units of new zealand can we buy
  3576. 1:44:55such that we don't lose more than one
  3577. 1:44:56percent of our current of our account
  3578. 1:44:58so time to revisit your position sizing
  3579. 1:45:01so let's go to this
  3580. 1:45:04so let's say currency pair is new
  3581. 1:45:05zealand type in new zealand yen
  3582. 1:45:07account currency let's keep it you know
  3583. 1:45:09as usd let's say your account size is
  3584. 1:45:11ten thousand dollars
  3585. 1:45:13risking one percent on each trade your
  3586. 1:45:15stop loss as mentioned earlier is about
  3587. 1:45:1691 pips click calculate it tells you
  3588. 1:45:20that you can buy
  3589. 1:45:210.121 lot which is about 1.2
  3590. 1:45:25mini lots okay so if you're going to
  3591. 1:45:26trade this you know i hope it's a demo
  3592. 1:45:28account right
  3593. 1:45:29you can buy 0.121
  3594. 1:45:33law okay which is about 1.2
  3595. 1:45:36million lot does it make sense so you
  3596. 1:45:38can see that we have you know
  3597. 1:45:40used a number of you know concepts that
  3598. 1:45:42you have learned earlier the market

  3601. 1:45:46we learn how to calculate calculate the
  3602. 1:45:48optimal
  3603. 1:45:48position size right such that we don't
  3604. 1:45:50lose more than one percent
  3605. 1:45:52of our trading account as shown in this
  3606. 1:45:54position sizing calculator over here
  3607. 1:45:57okay so how are you feeling do you feel

  3622. 1:46:22or techniques right that is unclear to
  3623. 1:46:23you so i'm going to go through another
  3624. 1:46:25example because this is so important
  3625. 1:46:26right understanding the the
  3626. 1:46:30position sizing the risk management as

  3632. 1:46:40one using the same framework
  3633. 1:46:41so number one ask ourselves market
  3634. 1:46:42structure what is the market structure
  3635. 1:46:44of this currency pair so this is
  3636. 1:46:46dollar against the japanese yen eight
  3637. 1:46:48hour time frame market structure is
  3638. 1:46:50down i'm just kidding it's up right
  3639. 1:46:52higher highs and higher lows higher
  3640. 1:46:54highs sorry sorry higher low
  3641. 1:46:55higher low higher low market structure
  3642. 1:46:57is up and then you have higher high
  3643. 1:46:58higher high higher high
  3644. 1:47:01area of value is the price near an area
  3645. 1:47:04of value as you can see over here
  3646. 1:47:05it is at this previous resistance
  3647. 1:47:08resistance which became support and yes
  3648. 1:47:10this is an area of value
  3649. 1:47:12and not just then right we also have if
  3650. 1:47:15you pull out your 50 period moving
  3651. 1:47:16average right
  3652. 1:47:17this 50 period moving average also
  3653. 1:47:19serves as an area of value we tested
  3654. 1:47:21once twice
  3655. 1:47:22three times and then fourth time over
  3656. 1:47:23here so this is what we mean by
  3657. 1:47:25when we have like support and the 50
  3658. 1:47:28period moving average coming together
  3659. 1:47:30you know from two separate area of value
  3660. 1:47:32coming together at a
  3661. 1:47:33at a similar area i call this uh stack
  3662. 1:47:36areas because you have multiple factors
  3663. 1:47:38coming together to work in your favor so
  3664. 1:47:39this is a stack area you have the aerial
  3665. 1:47:41value of the 50 period moving average
  3666. 1:47:43as well as previous resistance which
  3667. 1:47:45became support
  3668. 1:47:46the third thing right do you have an
  3669. 1:47:48entry trigger so from the looks of
  3670. 1:47:50things
  3671. 1:47:50when you studied the bullish reversal
  3672. 1:47:52candlestick patterns earlier this isn't
  3673. 1:47:54actually any
  3674. 1:47:55of the candlestick pattern which you
  3675. 1:47:57have learned but again the
  3676. 1:47:59memorizing of the candlestick pattern
  3677. 1:48:00the name is not important what's
  3678. 1:48:01important is that you can see right
  3679. 1:48:02buyers stepping in right to push
  3680. 1:48:04and close higher it breaks and close
  3681. 1:48:06above the 50 period moving average
  3682. 1:48:07looking at the range of this candle is
  3683. 1:48:09pretty nice and large as well and the
  3684. 1:48:11price is closed near the highs
  3685. 1:48:12so this tells you know the buyers are in
  3686. 1:48:14control right and managed to close
  3687. 1:48:16right near the highs of this eight hour
  3688. 1:48:17time frame so what we can do is again
  3689. 1:48:19uh to me this is a valid trading setup
  3690. 1:48:22and you can look to
  3691. 1:48:23buy so let's say you buy on the next
  3692. 1:48:25day's open
  3693. 1:48:26opening price of this candle over here
  3694. 1:48:29so now what about stop loss so again
  3695. 1:48:31stop loss we want to set it
  3696. 1:48:33at a level which invalidates our trading
  3697. 1:48:35setup so our area of value
  3698. 1:48:36is over here this previous previous
  3699. 1:48:39resistance which became
  3700. 1:48:40support okay we want to set our stop
  3701. 1:48:42loss right a distance
  3702. 1:48:44below support we don't just want to set
  3703. 1:48:45it smack below support because
  3704. 1:48:47like for example this is directly over
  3705. 1:48:48here because the price will just come
  3706. 1:48:49down spike rate and then continue higher
  3707. 1:48:51so
  3708. 1:48:52if you set your stop loss just below it
  3709. 1:48:53this could happen to you right
  3710. 1:48:55pretty often and it sucks so this is why
  3711. 1:48:57i recommend right
  3712. 1:48:58finding the low of support right and
  3713. 1:49:00then just minusing off one atr for it so
  3714. 1:49:02in this case one atr it tells you it's
  3715. 1:49:03about 34 pips
  3716. 1:49:04so what's left for you to do right now
  3717. 1:49:06is to find out what's the low of support
  3718. 1:49:08the low of support is again right let me
  3719. 1:49:09look at this candle as the low
  3720. 1:49:11it's about one zero eight let's make it
  3721. 1:49:13one zero nine
  3722. 1:49:14as shown over here right is the low the
  3723. 1:49:16low support is about one
  3724. 1:49:18zero nine so i'm going to take one zero
  3725. 1:49:20nine minus thirty four pips again
  3726. 1:49:22using my trusty calculator one zero nine
  3727. 1:49:25minus 34 pip
  3728. 1:49:26it gives me 108.66 so this tells me it
  3729. 1:49:29might stop more so it should be at
  3730. 1:49:31108.66 i'm going to change this to rain
  3731. 1:49:34i am going to also change the
  3732. 1:49:36coordinates
  3733. 1:49:37to 108.66
  3734. 1:49:41okay this is my stop-loss level
  3735. 1:49:45great so now i want to take things
  3736. 1:49:49a step further right you know how to set
  3737. 1:49:51your stop-loss you know your entry is at
  3738. 1:49:53this
  3739. 1:49:54this price over here okay let me just
  3740. 1:49:56change this to green about here
  3741. 1:49:58entry price is like this candle open
  3742. 1:50:01which is about
  3743. 1:50:03109.88 okay let me just change this to
  3744. 1:50:06109.88 so another thing to
  3745. 1:50:09to talk about is your target so so far
  3746. 1:50:11so far we have talked about
  3747. 1:50:12the trading setup right market structure
  3748. 1:50:14area of value entry trigger to know when
  3749. 1:50:16exactly to enter a trade
  3750. 1:50:17i shared with you how to set a proper
  3751. 1:50:19stop-loss so you don't get stopped out
  3752. 1:50:20too early and the final component that i
  3753. 1:50:22want to add as well is to
  3754. 1:50:23where to take profits right if the
  3755. 1:50:24market moves in your favor so coming
  3756. 1:50:26from let's say a swing trading
  3757. 1:50:28perspective
  3758. 1:50:28and bear in mind there are many ways to
  3759. 1:50:30take profits i'm going to share with you
  3760. 1:50:31one method which
  3761. 1:50:32is what we call swing trading which is
  3762. 1:50:34in essence right just capturing one
  3763. 1:50:35swing in the market so this is like
  3764. 1:50:37one swing right from this retracement
  3765. 1:50:39then we pull up one swing
  3766. 1:50:41this is one swing this is uh another
  3767. 1:50:44swing so
  3768. 1:50:44basically one move in the market i'm
  3769. 1:50:46going to share with you how to do that
  3770. 1:50:47so to capture one swing in the market we
  3771. 1:50:49usually want to set our target profit
  3772. 1:50:52at before right previous swing highs are
  3773. 1:50:54low in the market so you know what is
  3774. 1:50:56swing right this is our swing point
  3775. 1:50:57swing high
  3776. 1:50:58swing high swing low swing low so if you
  3777. 1:51:00are long right you want to exit right
  3778. 1:51:02before
  3779. 1:51:02the nearest swing high because this is
  3780. 1:51:04where potential selling pressure could
  3781. 1:51:05come in
  3782. 1:51:06you know and you know push the price
  3783. 1:51:08lower so you're gonna set your target
  3784. 1:51:09before it
  3785. 1:51:10so in terms of target i would say a
  3786. 1:51:12reasonable target could be at this
  3787. 1:51:14price point over here before this
  3788. 1:51:16remember this over here
  3789. 1:51:18is an area on your chart not a line so
  3790. 1:51:21don't set your
  3791. 1:51:22target right just you know one bit below
  3792. 1:51:24this heist because remember it's an area
  3793. 1:51:26the price may not get to that high right
  3794. 1:51:27before it starts to reverse it could
  3795. 1:51:29just you know
  3796. 1:51:30come close into that area doesn't hit
  3797. 1:51:32the highs doesn't hit these highs over
  3798. 1:51:34here and then starts to collapse so if
  3799. 1:51:35you're too like you know greedy if you
  3800. 1:51:37take profit you set it at these highs
  3801. 1:51:38over here
  3802. 1:51:39or even over here you know you're making
  3803. 1:51:41difficult for the market you know
  3804. 1:51:43to give you a profit so be reasonable
  3805. 1:51:45with your targets
  3806. 1:51:46so my recommendation is to set it before
  3807. 1:51:48the swing high so let's say we set it
  3808. 1:51:50somewhere
  3809. 1:51:52about here right this i would say it's
  3810. 1:51:53reasonable and let's change this to blue
  3811. 1:51:55color
  3812. 1:51:56okay so let's say our target is at let's
  3813. 1:51:59put it at a number that is easy to
  3814. 1:52:01understand
  3815. 1:52:03107 dot let's say seven three seven two
  3816. 1:52:05okay
  3817. 1:52:06okay so now if you look at this right
  3818. 1:52:09now you can see that
  3819. 1:52:10where is your entry price which is this
  3820. 1:52:12green line over here
  3821. 1:52:14where is your stop loss this red line
  3822. 1:52:15over here where is your
  3823. 1:52:17target which is this blue line over here
  3824. 1:52:19so now again let's revisit you know
  3825. 1:52:21position sizing since that is so
  3826. 1:52:22important right that is what
  3827. 1:52:23keeps your account intact let's find out
  3828. 1:52:26right
  3829. 1:52:27the size of our stop loss so basically
  3830. 1:52:29from entry price to your stop loss right
  3831. 1:52:31what is this
  3832. 1:52:32distance over here so again just take
  3833. 1:52:33the entry price minus
  3834. 1:52:35the stop loss so what you can do is you
  3835. 1:52:36can pause this video and do the math
  3836. 1:52:38with me and see whether you get the
  3837. 1:52:38answer correct
  3838. 1:52:39so i'm going to take 109.88
  3839. 1:52:43minus 108.66
  3840. 1:52:48all right so basically i'm thinking this
  3841. 1:52:49green number minus this rate number it
  3842. 1:52:51gives me about
  3843. 1:52:55122 pips
  3844. 1:52:58okay that's the distance of my stop-loss
  3845. 1:53:01so in essence from here to here is 122
  3846. 1:53:04pips
  3847. 1:53:04so now let's use this number and find
  3848. 1:53:06out how many
  3849. 1:53:08units of dollar against the japanese yen
  3850. 1:53:10can we buy such that you know
  3851. 1:53:11we uh we can you know still adhere to
  3852. 1:53:14our risk management
  3853. 1:53:15so to do that just go to look for dollar
  3854. 1:53:17yen this is the currency pair
  3855. 1:53:18you're trading okay let's say your
  3856. 1:53:21account currency is funded in us dollar
  3857. 1:53:22as well
  3858. 1:53:23account size let's say now you're a
  3859. 1:53:24baller right hundred thousand units your
  3860. 1:53:26trade i mean your account size is
  3861. 1:53:27hundred thousand dollars
  3862. 1:53:28and let's say you are still the same you
  3863. 1:53:30know prudent trader you still risk one
  3864. 1:53:32percent on that trade well done
  3865. 1:53:34stop losses 122 pips as we have
  3866. 1:53:37mentioned earlier things about one two
  3867. 1:53:39two if i'm not wrong here it is
  3868. 1:53:41then you're just gonna click calculate
  3869. 1:53:43and it tells you that you can buy now
  3870. 1:53:45zero point eight nine nine standard lot
  3871. 1:53:47this is equivalent to about eight point
  3872. 1:53:50nine i would say nine mini lots right
  3873. 1:53:52you just rounded up it's about nine mini
  3874. 1:53:54lots or 0.9 standard lot so
  3875. 1:53:56in other words okay if you have a
  3876. 1:53:57hundred thousand dollars account and
  3877. 1:53:59you're risking one percent
  3878. 1:54:00of that account let's say one percent is
  3879. 1:54:02a thousand dollars of your account
  3880. 1:54:04and you're trading this currency pair
  3881. 1:54:06dollar against the japanese yen
  3882. 1:54:07your stop-loss is 122 pips okay
  3883. 1:54:11how many units of this currency can you
  3884. 1:54:14buy and according to that
  3885. 1:54:15uh risk risk management or rather
  3886. 1:54:17position sizing calculator you saw
  3887. 1:54:19earlier it's about 0.9
  3888. 1:54:21standard lot or nine mini lots it's
  3889. 1:54:24actually 0.899
  3890. 1:54:25i just rounded up to make my life easier
  3891. 1:54:26so that's how you you know combine all
  3892. 1:54:28these different uh
  3893. 1:54:29elements together this concept
  3894. 1:54:31strategies like to make sense right out
  3895. 1:54:33of
  3896. 1:54:33your forex trading career
  3897. 1:54:37so let's now take things one step even
  3898. 1:54:39further okay so this is actually
  3899. 1:54:41stuff we've covered earlier i'm just
  3900. 1:54:42revising it so we're going to take
  3901. 1:54:44things a step further because
  3902. 1:54:45one thing that you might not notice if
  3903. 1:54:48you look at this hey rayner
  3904. 1:54:49this is my entry price this is my
  3905. 1:54:51stop-loss
  3906. 1:54:52and this is my target it seems that my
  3907. 1:54:54stop-loss over here
  3908. 1:54:56okay let's call it sl stop-loss is kind
  3909. 1:54:59of smaller
  3910. 1:55:00than my profit target right if i just
  3911. 1:55:02pull it out let's call it tb
  3912. 1:55:03target profit my stop-loss is wider than
  3913. 1:55:05my target profit then if you
  3914. 1:55:06are thinking along those lines you are
  3915. 1:55:08absolutely correct you can actually use
  3916. 1:55:10a tool
  3917. 1:55:11like this over here okay just use the
  3918. 1:55:13long position one to help you access
  3919. 1:55:15right your risk to reward ratio so just
  3920. 1:55:16pull this tool out right just click this
  3921. 1:55:18one
  3922. 1:55:19choose long and if you're going to click
  3923. 1:55:20let's say click on this green line this
  3924. 1:55:22thing will come out
  3925. 1:55:22so the way we're going to do it is that
  3926. 1:55:23we're going to adjust this thing right
  3927. 1:55:25such that this level here is at our stop
  3928. 1:55:27loss
  3929. 1:55:28okay and this one over here is at our
  3930. 1:55:31target
  3931. 1:55:32the blue line and this over here
  3932. 1:55:35is smack at our entry point which is
  3933. 1:55:37fine and you can see something very
  3934. 1:55:38interesting what it's telling you how
  3935. 1:55:39you actually made use of this tool
  3936. 1:55:41is that is that you can see you are
  3937. 1:55:44risking 122.2 pips right which is your
  3938. 1:55:47stop-loss
  3939. 1:55:48122 pips and this over here 84.7
  3940. 1:55:53is your target profit what you have
  3941. 1:55:54targeted which is about 84 pips
  3942. 1:55:56so in other words if you look from a
  3943. 1:55:57risk to reward standpoint
  3944. 1:55:59you are risking one dollar to
  3945. 1:56:02potentially make back
  3946. 1:56:0369 cents as shown over here 69 cents
  3947. 1:56:07how do i know 69 you can see over here
  3948. 1:56:09risk to reward ratio 0.69 you're risking
  3949. 1:56:12one dollar
  3950. 1:56:12to make 69 cents so it's not exactly
  3951. 1:56:15very favorable and most traders will say
  3952. 1:56:17uh that's not really a trade i want to
  3953. 1:56:19take and i can perfectly understand that
  3954. 1:56:20so what can you do
  3955. 1:56:22to make this risk to reward on your
  3956. 1:56:24trade more attractive
  3957. 1:56:26so now there are a few things that you
  3958. 1:56:27can do number one you can of course
  3959. 1:56:29shift your target
  3960. 1:56:30up higher okay to to a point where you
  3961. 1:56:33know okay
  3962. 1:56:34you're risking a dollar and make a
  3963. 1:56:35dollar 37 cents back in return but
  3964. 1:56:37you know to put your target over here
  3965. 1:56:39it's a bit of a i won't say it's a
  3966. 1:56:41stretch right since this is a trending
  3967. 1:56:42market but what has to happen is that
  3968. 1:56:44the market right has to break above this
  3969. 1:56:46highs to get to your target so that's
  3970. 1:56:48like kind of like
  3971. 1:56:50a little bit more work right for the
  3972. 1:56:51market to go through to reach your
  3973. 1:56:52target and i'll say that's a lower
  3974. 1:56:54probability
  3975. 1:56:55right since the market has to break
  3976. 1:56:56through above this swing high but again
  3977. 1:56:58right in the context of this
  3978. 1:56:59price action that we are seeing i
  3979. 1:57:00wouldn't say that it's impossible
  3980. 1:57:01because we are after all in an uptrend
  3981. 1:57:03but if it's a range market right i would
  3982. 1:57:04say clearly a very bad
  3983. 1:57:06decision so let's say we don't touch the
  3984. 1:57:08target right let's keep the target the
  3985. 1:57:09same
  3986. 1:57:10let's say around this level over here
  3987. 1:57:12okay this is our target
  3988. 1:57:14right so what else can we do to make the
  3989. 1:57:16risk to reward
  3990. 1:57:17more favorable what we can do is again
  3991. 1:57:19we can shift our stop loss we can make
  3992. 1:57:20it tighter right shift it up higher
  3993. 1:57:22but again we don't want to mess with our
  3994. 1:57:23stop-loss because our stop-loss is at a
  3995. 1:57:25level
  3996. 1:57:25where it reaches right it will
  3997. 1:57:28invalidate our trading setup you don't
  3998. 1:57:29want to exit the trade
  3999. 1:57:31while the setup is still there it
  4000. 1:57:32doesn't quite make sense right you want
  4001. 1:57:33to be buying and support and support is
  4002. 1:57:35not broken but you already exit your
  4003. 1:57:36trade
  4004. 1:57:36that's that's not very you know uh wise
  4005. 1:57:39so the last thing that you can still do
  4006. 1:57:40is to
  4007. 1:57:41adjust right your entry point so you
  4008. 1:57:43know your entry point right now is about
  4009. 1:57:46109.88 which is this green line over
  4010. 1:57:48here this is your entry point
  4011. 1:57:50what you can do is to use a buy limit
  4012. 1:57:52order
  4013. 1:57:53see this is one of the orders that we
  4014. 1:57:54have mentioned earlier to use a buy
  4015. 1:57:55leave in order
  4016. 1:57:56to enter at a more favorable price so
  4017. 1:57:58what if we
  4018. 1:58:01shift right our entry price to somewhere
  4019. 1:58:03about here at let's say
  4020. 1:58:05109.5 okay so let me just
  4021. 1:58:09just just double click this let's say
  4022. 1:58:11our entry price now is at 109.5
  4023. 1:58:13our take profit level the price we keep
  4024. 1:58:16it unchanged
  4025. 1:58:17our stop-loss level will keep it
  4026. 1:58:18unchanged as well and we click
  4027. 1:58:20ok so now if you look
  4028. 1:58:23at your risk to reward right now you can
  4029. 1:58:26see now you're risking a dollar
  4030. 1:58:28to potentially make 1.45 cents
  4031. 1:58:32as shown over here one dollar and 45
  4032. 1:58:35cents now your risk to reward right
  4033. 1:58:37let me just put it one over here your
  4034. 1:58:39risk reward right has been now
  4035. 1:58:40improved by using a buy limit order of
  4036. 1:58:42course everything has its pros and cons
  4037. 1:58:45so let me share with you the downside to
  4038. 1:58:46using this method
  4039. 1:58:47if you go with a buy limit order your
  4040. 1:58:49order might not get filled and you know
  4041. 1:58:51if the market continues higher
  4042. 1:58:52you would have you know missed the trade
  4043. 1:58:54but in this case right uh of course it's
  4044. 1:58:55a cherry pick chart you would have you
  4045. 1:58:57know gotten filled
  4046. 1:58:58and entered you know at a more favorable
  4047. 1:59:00price as you can see
  4048. 1:59:01this market did deep down lower and
  4049. 1:59:03giving you a better entry price and now
  4050. 1:59:04it's starting to kind of you know hit
  4051. 1:59:05higher
  4052. 1:59:06so this is another technique that you
  4053. 1:59:07can use in your own trading if
  4054. 1:59:09at as of right now right if you're
  4055. 1:59:11looking at your entry stops and target
  4056. 1:59:12the risk to reward
  4057. 1:59:13doesn't quite make sense you can
  4058. 1:59:14consider using a buy limit order to get
  4059. 1:59:16in
  4060. 1:59:17at a better price but a few things that
  4061. 1:59:19i would caution you is to not adjust
  4062. 1:59:21your original stop-loss because that is
  4063. 1:59:23at a level right that is plan right to
  4064. 1:59:25set right where if the price reaches it
  4065. 1:59:27it will invalidate your trading setup
  4066. 1:59:28and you want to get out of it don't make
  4067. 1:59:30it too tight because sometimes
  4068. 1:59:31a slight spike right might get you
  4069. 1:59:33stopped out of your trade if your
  4070. 1:59:34stop-loss is too tight
  4071. 1:59:35as for target this there's some
  4072. 1:59:36discretion over here since as you've
  4073. 1:59:38seen right this is a trending market
  4074. 1:59:40it's not
  4075. 1:59:40far-fetched to say that hey maybe i can
  4076. 1:59:42move my target up slightly higher
  4077. 1:59:43somewhere about here
  4078. 1:59:44since it's a trending market the price
  4079. 1:59:45tends to break above the previous high
  4080. 1:59:47that is fair enough for that i would say
  4081. 1:59:48it's a fair call
  4082. 1:59:49but one thing to to note that if if
  4083. 1:59:51right if the market right now is in the
  4084. 1:59:52range market
  4085. 1:59:54all right and you buy let's say
  4086. 1:59:56somewhere over here and your risk to
  4087. 1:59:57reward
  4088. 1:59:58is not very good don't set your target
  4089. 1:59:59above the highs of this
  4090. 2:00:01resistance because you are expecting the
  4091. 2:00:02price to break above that resistance
  4092. 2:00:04to give you this target that you have
  4093. 2:00:05over here just so your risk to reward
  4094. 2:00:07makes sense and this is really
  4095. 2:00:08a very bad idea if you're going to shift
  4096. 2:00:10your target to even above resistance but
  4097. 2:00:12for this context that we are talking
  4098. 2:00:13about here in this uptrend i would say
  4099. 2:00:15that is a perfectly you know fair
  4100. 2:00:17call okay so are you still with me
  4101. 2:00:20right i hope so and if you want to smash
  4102. 2:00:23the thumbs up button but if your mind
  4103. 2:00:25your soul is wandering elsewhere then
  4104. 2:00:26hit the subscribe button
  4105. 2:00:28okay so now let's have a look at another
  4106. 2:00:30example this is aussie against the swiss
  4107. 2:00:32franc
  4108. 2:00:33as you can see over here and this is the
  4109. 2:00:35eight hour time frame as well
  4110. 2:00:37so you know you should be a pro already
  4111. 2:00:39by now if you even know what i'm going
  4112. 2:00:40to say first thing first
  4113. 2:00:41market structure what is this market
  4114. 2:00:43structure
  4115. 2:00:45from the looks of things this market is
  4116. 2:00:46in an uptrend higher high
  4117. 2:00:48and higher low higher high higher high
  4118. 2:00:50higher high higher high
  4119. 2:00:52and higher low higher low higher low
  4120. 2:00:54higher low
  4121. 2:00:56so what about area of value so clearly
  4122. 2:00:58this one here you can see that this
  4123. 2:00:59market is at this area of
  4124. 2:01:01support entry trigger do we have any
  4125. 2:01:05valid entry trigger to enter a trade
  4126. 2:01:06while we have this nice
  4127. 2:01:08bullish engulfing pattern okay so this
  4128. 2:01:11this candle
  4129. 2:01:12has reversed and closed above the
  4130. 2:01:14previous day
  4131. 2:01:15closing or rather the highs of the
  4132. 2:01:17previous day closing now near the highs
  4133. 2:01:19of this
  4134. 2:01:20day so this is bullish great so what we
  4135. 2:01:22can do is that we have a you know number
  4136. 2:01:24of factors working in our favor
  4137. 2:01:25uh market structure is up trading from
  4138. 2:01:28an area of value and
  4139. 2:01:29a valid entry trigger to go long let's
  4140. 2:01:31see we overlay for 50 ma
  4141. 2:01:33okay not too bad as well we even have
  4142. 2:01:34the 50 period moving average you know in
  4143. 2:01:36our favor tested once
  4144. 2:01:37twice and now here for third time again
  4145. 2:01:40so now
  4146. 2:01:40where can we enter a trade the next day
  4147. 2:01:42open so now next day looking pretty good
  4148. 2:01:44as well we enter on the next stage
  4149. 2:01:45open okay so what about stop loss i pull
  4150. 2:01:48out the atr indicator
  4151. 2:01:50you can see the stop loss all right the
  4152. 2:01:52atr value is about 0.003 which is about
  4153. 2:01:5430
  4154. 2:01:55pips so again though to way to read this
  4155. 2:01:58stop-loss indicator is the same
  4156. 2:01:59as you're reading a pip right you know a
  4157. 2:02:01fourth decimal place same concept over
  4158. 2:02:03here
  4159. 2:02:03so now let's find out what is the low of
  4160. 2:02:05this support right so we can set a
  4161. 2:02:07proper stop loss level
  4162. 2:02:08so the low over here is about 0.6818
  4163. 2:02:12so 0.6818
  4164. 2:02:16minus 30
  4165. 2:02:20that gives us about 0.6788
  4166. 2:02:23okay so our stop-loss will be at 0.6788
  4167. 2:02:27changes to rate 6788
  4168. 2:02:30great entry price pretty straightforward
  4169. 2:02:32we enter on this uh
  4170. 2:02:33opening price of this candle which is
  4171. 2:02:36about here
  4172. 2:02:37i'll change this to green so we can mark
  4173. 2:02:38as the entry price that we enter
  4174. 2:02:41so now i am not going to go through the
  4175. 2:02:44position sizing because you should be a
  4176. 2:02:46pro by now already as for target it's
  4177. 2:02:48going to be quite straightforward your
  4178. 2:02:49target
  4179. 2:02:50could set it just before this swing high
  4180. 2:02:53so let's say somewhere about here
  4181. 2:02:55okay i'll change this to blue okay and
  4182. 2:02:57that's a potential
  4183. 2:02:59level right where you can use to set
  4184. 2:03:01your target profit so as
  4185. 2:03:03of right now if you just eyeball you can
  4186. 2:03:05see that your risk to reward you're
  4187. 2:03:06probably risking a dollar to make like
  4188. 2:03:0880 cents or so
  4189. 2:03:09and as you know you can use a buy limit
  4190. 2:03:10order to improve your risk to reward on
  4191. 2:03:12the trade
  4192. 2:03:13and you know to manage your risk you can
  4193. 2:03:15use a position sizing calculator
  4194. 2:03:17to know how many units of currency you
  4195. 2:03:19should buy right such that
  4196. 2:03:20you risk like for example one percent of
  4197. 2:03:22your account so that is something that
  4198. 2:03:24we have done through
  4199. 2:03:25previously as well so one thing to point
  4200. 2:03:27out is that uh for this particular
  4201. 2:03:28example i want to show you
  4202. 2:03:30how a losing trade looks like in this
  4203. 2:03:32case the market you know did went in our
  4204. 2:03:33favor
  4205. 2:03:34a little bit you can see that it goes up
  4206. 2:03:37here
  4207. 2:03:38halfway through to our target over here
  4208. 2:03:40before it starts to
  4209. 2:03:42reverse and then stop us out for a loss
  4210. 2:03:44of this trade so this trade clearly is a
  4211. 2:03:45losing trade it hits our stop loss
  4212. 2:03:47and only after that right you can see
  4213. 2:03:49this trade continue
  4214. 2:03:51to rally and break out higher so this
  4215. 2:03:52will happen right in your trading career
  4216. 2:03:54i
  4217. 2:03:54assure you i guarantee you a confirm
  4218. 2:03:56plus chop right no matter
  4219. 2:03:58how good a trading setup looks like no
  4220. 2:04:00matter how proper stop-loss how good of
  4221. 2:04:02a stop-loss that you have set now below
  4222. 2:04:03the
  4223. 2:04:04the price structure below support the
  4224. 2:04:05market right sometimes will just you
  4225. 2:04:07know play tricks on you you will still
  4226. 2:04:08hit your stop-loss all right and to make
  4227. 2:04:09you feel
  4228. 2:04:10the anguish the pain only to reverse
  4229. 2:04:13back and you know go
  4230. 2:04:13so much in your favor right and and to
  4231. 2:04:15you know
  4232. 2:04:17make you feel like a loser so that will
  4233. 2:04:18happen be prepared for it and this
  4234. 2:04:20example is really
  4235. 2:04:21clearly one that it and how do i know
  4236. 2:04:23that it's because this is a
  4237. 2:04:24it's a trait i took right and it
  4238. 2:04:26happened to me
  4239. 2:04:28okay so moving on right let's have a
  4240. 2:04:31look at a few
  4241. 2:04:32trading examples and this time around it
  4242. 2:04:34will be a little bit different it will
  4243. 2:04:36be traits that i will
  4244. 2:04:38not want to trade and again we will use
  4245. 2:04:40the same formula we will use the same
  4246. 2:04:43uh concepts that we have talked about
  4247. 2:04:45earlier we have a look at the market
  4248. 2:04:46structure
  4249. 2:04:47area of value and the entry trigger so
  4250. 2:04:50first one
  4251. 2:04:50aussie against the japanese yen so if
  4252. 2:04:52you look at this chart
  4253. 2:04:54on this time frame the daily timeframe
  4254. 2:04:55you can see that the market structure is
  4255. 2:04:57up great so what will we do we look for
  4256. 2:05:00buying opportunities second thing where
  4257. 2:05:02is the area of value so on this chart
  4258. 2:05:05and on this time frame i see that the
  4259. 2:05:07area of value is around the 82
  4260. 2:05:09price point somewhere here so right now
  4261. 2:05:11the price is kind of like in the middle
  4262. 2:05:13of
  4263. 2:05:13i would say nowhere so it's not near any
  4264. 2:05:15area of value i'll give it a cross
  4265. 2:05:17entry trigger is there any valid entry
  4266. 2:05:19trigger at this point in time
  4267. 2:05:20well since it's not even at an area of
  4268. 2:05:23value i wouldn't
  4269. 2:05:24really care if it's there's an entry
  4270. 2:05:25trigger or not because i'm not trading
  4271. 2:05:27from an area of value and right now the
  4272. 2:05:29price the market is still open it's not
  4273. 2:05:30closed yet so again
  4274. 2:05:31uh entry trigger is pretty much i'll say
  4275. 2:05:33no as well since
  4276. 2:05:34this market is currently still uh moving
  4277. 2:05:37and not closed yet
  4278. 2:05:38so as you can see this is clearly a
  4279. 2:05:40trade that i don't want to trade yes
  4280. 2:05:42market structure is up it's in an
  4281. 2:05:44uptrend but
  4282. 2:05:45it's not from an area of value and there
  4283. 2:05:47is no valid entry trigger for me
  4284. 2:05:49to pull a trade second one dollar
  4285. 2:05:52against the norwegian
  4286. 2:05:53chrono so same same thing let's have a
  4287. 2:05:55look at this
  4288. 2:05:56market structure you can see that this
  4289. 2:05:58one here is in the downtrend
  4290. 2:05:59series of lower highs and lower lows
  4291. 2:06:02downtrend
  4292. 2:06:03area of value is there is it near any
  4293. 2:06:06area of value so again area value i
  4294. 2:06:08would say somewhere around the 8.70
  4295. 2:06:10price point somewhere here
  4296. 2:06:11price is over here at this point in time
  4297. 2:06:13so i'll say no
  4298. 2:06:14entry trigger wise if it's not at an
  4299. 2:06:16area of value then really usually i
  4300. 2:06:18don't even bother looking at the entry
  4301. 2:06:19trigger but for the sake of let's say
  4302. 2:06:21this training we look at the entry
  4303. 2:06:22trigger we see there was a shooting
  4304. 2:06:24start on the previous
  4305. 2:06:25day right so there is an entry trigger
  4306. 2:06:27but because
  4307. 2:06:28again it's not from an area of value i
