This 15 Minute Day Trading Model Happens EVERYDAY (8.30am Macro) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time,
- 0:02every single day, a macro runs behind
- 0:05the scenes that is coded to deliver
- 0:07price to a specific area. If you know
- 0:10what you're looking for, this time macro
- 0:12can give you some incredible trade
- 0:14setups that can literally print you
- 0:16money. What I'm about to show you
- 0:17totally changed the game for me and is
- 0:20based on an incredibly simple framework
- 0:22that I call dealing range theory or DRT.
- 0:26I'm going to walk you through last
- 0:27week's price action and take you through
- 0:29each day to show you how effective this
- 0:32model actually is and how many of my
- 0:34students are using this framework to
- 0:36completely turn their trading around.
- 0:39Let's get into the charts. So, here we
- 0:41are on the 15-minute chart for the
- 0:43British pound. Now, the first thing that
- 0:45I want to do is I want to delineate the
- 0:478:30 a.m. candle and this is on Friday's
- 0:50price action. Prior to 8:30 a.m., I want
- 0:54to establish where is price at 8:30
- 0:57relative to the current dealing range.
- 1:00And I can clearly see here that the
- 1:02highest high inside of this range is up
- 1:05here and the lowest low is down here. I
- 1:08can therefore plot my dealing range and
- 1:10of course my DRT levels. Now, I'm not
- 1:12going to go into a whole lot of detail
- 1:14on dealing range theory in this video,
- 1:16but I have a whole series dedicated to
- 1:19dealing range theory for free right here
- 1:22on this YouTube channel. Now, one of my
- 1:24favorite sayings when it comes to really
- 1:26understanding and interpreting price
- 1:28action is in order to establish where
- 1:30price is going to go next, we need to
- 1:32establish what price has already done.
- 1:35So, prior to 8:30, which is obviously
- 1:38the New York session, we have the
- 1:40benefit of having the London session
- 1:42behind us. Now, that gives us a great
- 1:44deal of information. The first thing
- 1:45that we can see is inside of the London
- 1:48session, we have already run the Asian
- 1:51session highs. So, we've seen a buy-side
- 1:54liquidity pool raided and then the
- 1:56market has dropped lower, closing below
- 2:00these lows and breaking structure. So,
- 2:02already is giving us a bearish
- 2:04indication. The second thing is above
- 2:07the market, we can see that prior to
- 2:10that 8:30 a.m. candle printing, price
- 2:13had traded into this inversion fair
- 2:16value gap. Notice how the consequent
- 2:19encroachment of that gap overlaps with a
- 2:2175 DRT level. That's how we know we have
- 2:24the correct dealing range. Look at the
- 2:26wick of this candle. It fails to touch
- 2:29consequent encroachment, and then we see
- 2:31the body close down here. This is
- 2:33significant. It tells us that the market
- 2:36here is heavy. Also, these consecutive
- 2:39up close candles we can consider a
- 2:41bearish order block. At 8:30, we dip
- 2:44into to the opening price, and we
- 2:46already have order flow on our side. And
- 2:49I mean algorithmic order flow here
- 2:51specifically. And now, since we're in a
- 2:53continuation lower, we can also grade
- 2:55this as a type one dealing range, and we
- 2:58can see that we're above the halfway
- 2:59point here, but I'll leave that homework
- 3:01for yourself. It's also worth noting
- 3:03that the bodies don't close above this
- 3:06immediate rebalance to the left. So,
- 3:08that's one for your notes. Quick one.
- 3:11I've been working on something that I've
- 3:12never really done publicly before. On
- 3:15May the 18th, I'm running a 5-day live
- 3:18challenge called the high probability
- 3:20trading challenge. Creative, I know. And
- 3:22I'm going to teach the exact process I
- 3:25used to look for any setup on any pair
- 3:27in any session, and know it in under 5
- 3:30minutes whether it's worth my time or
- 3:32not. This is the same framework I've
- 3:34kept close to my chest for years, and
- 3:36only ever really taught it inside of my
- 3:38private mentorship. On day one, I'm
- 3:40showing you why 80% of the order blocks
- 3:42and fair value gaps on your chart right
- 3:44now were never going to work, and how to
- 3:47spot the difference. And once you can
- 3:48see which ones were never real, day two
- 3:51gives you the three condition checklist
- 3:53I run before I ever risk a single
- 3:55dollar. From there, day three is where
- 3:57we take that checklist and I show you
- 3:59how I find the single highest
- 4:01probability trade of the session in
- 4:03under 30 minutes. Then day four, I'm
- 4:05going to read the tape live and you're
- 4:07going to see exactly how I apply
- 4:09everything in real time. In day five,
- 4:12you're going to be building your own
- 4:13personal trading plan around your pairs,
- 4:16your session and your schedule. Now,
- 4:18tickets are capped because we're running
- 4:20this live on Zoom and Zoom does have a
- 4:22capacity limit, so it's a first come
- 4:24first serve basis. Early bird tickets
- 4:27are live right now. Click the link in
- 4:29the description, grab yours before we
- 4:31hit capacity. Right, let's get back to
- 4:32it. Now, where is the market going to
- 4:35draw towards? Well, first it will draw
- 4:37back to equilibrium and into a discount.
- 4:40Now, if we look carefully in a discount,
- 4:42we see that we have this inefficiency
- 4:45here in the form of this buy side
- 4:46imbalance. So, this is going to be a
- 4:48strong magnet for price to draw lower
- 4:50and it's also in close proximity to the
- 4:5375 DRT level. Note the bodies over here.
- 4:57Now, if we take an entry at the low of
- 4:59the order block, place our stop at the
- 5:02order block high, and we target the 25
- 5:05DRT level. This gives us a risk to
- 5:06reward of 3.24.
- 5:08There was also another smaller entry as
- 5:10an institutional order flow entry drill
- 5:13right inside of this fair value gap. Our
- 5:15stop would go above the high and again
- 5:17we could target the inefficiency, at
- 5:19least consequent encroachment or again
- 5:21that 25 DRT level. Let's scrub to the
- 5:25left a little bit and let's get up
- 5:27Thursday's price action. And again here
- 5:29we delineate the 8:30 a.m. candle. Now
- 5:31again, same thing. What we want to do is
- 5:33we want to establish a dealing range
- 5:35prior to 8:30 and we can clearly see
- 5:39that the highest high is here and the
- 5:41lowest low is here. Now, there's rules
- 5:44of when I use the wicks and the bodies,
- 5:47but that's beyond the scope of this
- 5:49video. Now, again at 8:30 over here, we
- 5:53have the benefit of London and we can
- 5:55see that London has already raided these
- 5:58lows from Asia and the Central Bank
- 6:01Dealers Range to the left. So, we've
- 6:03already seen a raid of sell-side
- 6:04liquidity prior to the New York session.
- 6:07At 8:30, we see this candle drop lower
- 6:10and it absolutely nails the 25 DRT level
- 6:14of this entire range. Now, if you look
- 6:16closely, we have relative equal highs up
- 6:18here, making this a type two dealing
- 6:20range. And if you look closely again, we
- 6:23have a small inversion fair value gap
- 6:26that overlaps with that 25 DRT level. At
- 6:298:30, we tap the low, we run away before
- 6:33we close through the 50 DRT level, just
- 6:35filling in some of this inefficiency to
- 6:37the left. We drop back one more time,
- 6:40nail consequent encroachment of that
- 6:42inversion fair value gap, and then we
- 6:44see the market really drive higher for
- 6:46those relative equal highs above the
- 6:49market. Now, this would have given us a
- 6:51fantastic risk-to-reward entry. And it's
- 6:53something that I actually went through
- 6:55with my private students with a real
- 6:57trade that I took, but the trade was
- 6:59framed on a 1-minute time frame, so I
- 7:01got really, really precise with my
- 7:03entry. But, I've been doing this for
- 7:05almost 10 years. If you're starting out
- 7:07then as a safe stop, I'd put it below
- 7:09the dealing range low. But, watch what
- 7:11happens. We see the market drive and
- 7:14close straight through the 50 and the 75
- 7:17DRT level. And at that 75 DRT level
- 7:21again, we have another inversion fair
- 7:23value gap. We hit the consequent
- 7:25encroachment over here, and then we see
- 7:27price really drive higher for those
- 7:30relative equal highs, but prior to that
- 7:32happen, notice how it leaves these equal
- 7:34highs. The algorithms engineering
- 7:36buy-side liquidity above the market.
- 7:39Now, here's what's also so
- 7:40is that this here, this is also our
- 7:43second stage of accumulation, right? So,
- 7:46first stage down here, second stage up
- 7:48here, but when we're accumulating in an
- 7:50extreme premium, it's very unlikely for
- 7:53the market to have a deep retracement,
- 7:55in which case we would anticipate an
- 7:57explosive move higher like we see over
- 8:00here. Okay, let's go to the previous day
- 8:02on Wednesday here at 8:30. Just going to
- 8:04move me out the way. Now, same thing.
- 8:07Where are we at 8:30 relative to the
- 8:10current dealing range? We have the
- 8:11dealing range high and we have the
- 8:13dealing range low. Now, this one's a
- 8:15little bit more trickier because at 8:30
- 8:18we are already at equilibrium or that 50
- 8:20DRT level. And if you're a student of
- 8:22mine, you know that we would generally
- 8:25see consolidation form around this area.
- 8:28So, what we have to do is wait for
- 8:31liquidity to engineer post 8:30 in the
- 8:35form of equal highs and equal lows and
- 8:37then wait for which side is going to be
- 8:39raided. Now, with this displacement
- 8:42lower, we already have a clue that the
- 8:43market is likely to drop lower. And we
- 8:47engineer equal highs over here, but note
- 8:50the bodies at that 50 DRT level. We're
- 8:52engineering a pool of sell-side
- 8:54liquidity below the market. The market
- 8:57then runs higher, taps the 75 DRT level,
- 9:01but also note what overlaps that level.
- 9:03We have this sell-side imbalance. Price
- 9:06nails the consequent encroachment at
- 9:08that 3:00 macro and then we see the
- 9:10market spill lower to the external range
- 9:14liquidity below the dealing range low.
- 9:16So, we raid internal range liquidity and
- 9:20then smart money pair short positions
- 9:22and offset those positions as the market
- 9:25distributes lower back to the sell stops
- 9:28below the dealing range low. Since we
- 9:30have this consolidation up here,
- 9:32clearing buy-side, have a break in
- 9:35structure here, and then we see the
- 9:37market displaces lower, we can
- 9:39anticipate a continuation lower, and
- 9:41therefore we can interpret this high and
- 9:44this low to form a type one dealing
- 9:46range. In a type one dealing range, what
- 9:48do we want to see happen if we are
- 9:50bearish? We want to see the market
- 9:52retrace into a premium above the 50 DRT
- 9:57level, and that's where we have that
- 9:59nested 75 DRT level fair value gap. So,
- 10:03this gives us extra confluence for a
- 10:05trade idea that also overlaps with our
- 10:08down close candle right here. This is
- 10:11going to be our mitigation block since
- 10:13we have a high, low, and a lower high to
- 10:17the right. Price fails to tap the mean
- 10:19threshold here, again signifying
- 10:22weakness, and this is how we interpret
- 10:24PD arrays in the context of algorithmic
- 10:27order flow. So, all of these things
- 10:29stack up to give us clues, and look at
- 10:30the reaction that we have from that
- 10:32level, and price absolutely tanks. We
- 10:34could have taken an entry at that 75 DRT
- 10:37level, placed our stop above the
- 10:40mitigation block, and then targeted for
- 10:43the dealing range low. This would give
- 10:44us a risk to reward of 3.5. Again, let's
- 10:47move on to Tuesday's price action. Here
- 10:50again at 8:30, we look back and see
- 10:53where we are in relation to the current
- 10:55dealing range from this high down to
- 10:58this low. Now Now again, what has
- 11:00happened prior to 8:30? We've already
- 11:02seen the market drop lower, raid sell
- 11:06side here with all these relatively
- 11:08equal lows, and balance this inefficient
- 11:11area of price. We're also seeing price
- 11:15stay above the consequent encroachment
- 11:18of this, and we have all these relative
- 11:20equal highs above the market. Now again,
- 11:22we're in a similar situation where we
- 11:24have stage one accumulation, stage two
- 11:27accumulation with relative equal highs
- 11:30above the market prior to 8:30. So, we
- 11:33have a whole lot of engineered buy side
- 11:35above the market with a potential stage
- 11:38two of accumulation. What's going to
- 11:41happen? The market's going to explode at
- 11:43that 8:30 macro to spool price to that
- 11:46buy side liquidity pool, right? So, this
- 11:48would have been a really nice scalping
- 11:50opportunity. We've taken entry at the
- 11:52consequent encroachment of this
- 11:54reclaimed buy side imbalance, stop and
- 11:57below it, and we could target the equal
- 11:59highs above the market. We're also close
- 12:01to that 400 big figure level, so we
- 12:03should anticipate a real drive through
- 12:06that price range. Now, looking at
- 12:08Monday's price action, again, 8:30
- 12:10delineated over here. Now, this one's a
- 12:13little bit more trickier because this is
- 12:15a smaller dealing range inside of a
- 12:17larger parent dealing range. We already
- 12:20have equal highs right here prior to
- 12:238:30. See the market really run through
- 12:26these equal highs into this inefficiency
- 12:29that sits in a premium relative to the
- 12:32parent dealing range high and low. And
- 12:35you can see how we consolidate in that
- 12:37area.
- 12:38Engineered buy side liquidity above the
- 12:40market, drop into that 50 DRT level,
- 12:43which overlaps with this fair value gap
- 12:46here. Look at the bodies failing to
- 12:48close below the 50 DRT level, and then
- 12:50we have price explode higher back
- 12:53through the buy side up here into this
- 12:55sell side imbalance that nests at that
- 12:5775 DRT level. This would have been,
- 13:00again, another nice scalp going from 50
- 13:02DRT to the 75 DRT, which in itself is a
- 13:06fantastic model. I have a lot of
- 13:08students who just trade from one DRT
- 13:11level to the next. In this case, you can
- 13:13obviously see that there's very little
- 13:15drawdown. Then the market really runs
- 13:17for those engineered equal highs and
- 13:20tags that 75 DRT level above. Now, one
- 13:23thing that I want to be clear about is
- 13:25I've been doing this for nearly 10
- 13:27years. So, the way I can see the market
- 13:29and obviously utilize dealing range
- 13:31theory is not something that is going to
- 13:33come overnight. You're going to have to
- 13:35spend some time with this, back test it,
- 13:37journal your findings. But, I can
- 13:39promise you it's an extremely powerful
- 13:42model, especially utilizing this model
- 13:45at that 8:30 macro.
