- 2:11me. But I recorded this video four
- 2:14times, bro. Four times.
- 2:17And the OBS is just not working, bro.
- 2:20So, it looks like I'm going have to pick
- 2:21something else cuz my OBS is like not
- 2:24letting me spit the sauce. So, with that
- 2:27being said, the video I'm just going to
- 2:30upload it. It's You can still understand
- 2:33it. It's just a little bit laggy, a
- 2:36little bit glitchy, but you can
- 2:38understand it. But I'mma still post it
- 2:40anyways. Um, thank you. I'mma fix it
- 2:43next time for you guys.
- 2:45I, you know, don't take too long on this
- 2:48one because it's pretty easy. All in
- 2:51all, let's just clear your charts. I
- 2:53feel like everybody needs a fresh start
- 2:55to kind of clear and clean their charts.
- 2:58You don't need many levels to trade. You
- 3:01don't need a lot of levels.
- 3:03You don't. You, trust me, you don't. So,
- 3:06I'll be seeing people mark every single
- 3:08thing on the daily, the 4 hour, the 1
- 3:10hour, all these different things. It's
- 3:12just a mess. Your chart looks a mess.
- 3:15All you need is the previous swing highs
- 3:17and swing lows. So, the biggest thing
- 3:19that I'm going to get into is you only
- 3:21need one to three days or let's say
- 3:23sessions cuz you might take it literally
- 3:26and start marking up three days. Three
- 3:28sessions,
- 3:31right? only need three sessions. One to
- 3:33three sessions. What does that mean? So,
- 3:34you got a clear chart right now. All you
- 3:37need to do right now, indicators, turn
- 3:39on sessions. And then gold trades in
- 3:42London and New York. So, turn this off.
- 3:44And then look here. We have,
- 3:48let's just use this.
- 3:52We have one day, we have
- 3:56two days,
- 3:58three days or sessions. So, three
- 4:00sessions. This is all we need. To be
- 4:03honest, sometimes you don't even need
- 4:04that many. But if you really want to
- 4:06find where your swing highs and swing
- 4:08lows are at, you're most likely going to
- 4:10find it in the next three sessions. So,
- 4:14with that being said, what we do from
- 4:16here, I've already previously marked
- 4:18this up. Um, this is what my chart
- 4:20looked like a few minutes ago at 206. It
- 4:24is currently 6:27. So 4 hours ago, this
- 4:28is what my chart looked like. And then
- 4:30New York session came in and then we got
- 4:32that push and everything. But that is
- 4:34what my chart had looked like. And the
- 4:36reason why I marked this level is
- 4:39because this is a level that I seen that
- 4:41price came into after having that
- 4:44bullish bullish push. Once it got to
- 4:47this level specifically, it took a turn.
- 4:51So things like that, I'm like, hm, if
- 4:54price came all the way here, it was
- 4:56really bullish. It could have kept
- 4:58going, but when it got here, it stopped.
- 5:01So that must means sellers are here.
- 5:04Boom. Common sense, right? See? See?
- 5:07Common sense. Common sense. So if price
- 5:11gets here, that means sellers are here.
- 5:14So now when price makes a new high, cuz
- 5:16obviously this is a new high. Look at
- 5:18all the stuff that it broke previously.
- 5:20And we're not going all the way back
- 5:22just to, you know, find a new high. We
- 5:24can obviously see that price was slowly
- 5:27breaking down onto a downtrend and then
- 5:29it zapped out of nowhere, right?
- 5:31Anyways,
- 5:33with this being said, once price makes a
- 5:35new high or a new low, in this case, a
- 5:38new high, you need that level of support
- 5:42cuz this level of support is what you're
- 5:45going to play off of, right? So now that
- 5:48we see it now, um, normally I don't mark
- 5:51all this, but for you guys, I will mark
- 5:54it. But this is the level that I chose.
- 5:58The reason I chose this level is because
- 6:00we can see price is going down. And the
- 6:03reason why I didn't mark this one is
- 6:04because price came back up. So I just
- 6:06count this whole thing as a swing high.
- 6:08You can see price came here, reacted,
- 6:10tried to come back up, reacted again. So
- 6:13I just count this whole thing as that
- 6:15swing high. But anyways, the reason why
- 6:17I marked this one,
- 6:20and once again, I mark up my price
- 6:22action on the one hour time frame, but
- 6:26because you guys will literally only use
- 6:28the 1 hour time frame, but you can do
- 6:32the same thing on all time frames.
- 6:37So once again, let me repeat myself
- 6:39because for some reason y'all be like
- 6:42asking me questions where y'all be like,
- 6:44"Well, what do you do about the 15 or
- 6:46what do you do about the five?" Or it's
- 6:48literally you're everything you're
- 6:49looking for on the higher time frame
- 6:51you're you can you're looking for on the
- 6:52lower time frame. Nothing changes. Just
- 6:55because the time frame change doesn't
- 6:56mean the price action or structure
- 6:58change. market structure doesn't just
- 7:02change the rules of it or it doesn't
- 7:04change the fundamentals of it just
- 7:06because you went down a different time
- 7:07frame. So once again, the market
- 7:09structure is still the same. Higher
- 7:11highs, higher lows, higher highs, higher
- 7:12lows, lower lows, lower highs, lower
- 7:14lows, lower highs. Nothing changes.
- 7:18So anyways,
- 7:20the reason why I chose this one is
- 7:22because we can see price came into this
- 7:23level and we can see that price reacted.
- 7:27It reacted a couple times for me to make
- 7:29that decision, but it's okay because we
- 7:31have a new high
- 7:33and overall I'm just looking for price
- 7:35to see if it's going to continue to, you
- 7:37know, make new more or new highs or or
- 7:40is it going to break down? Whatever the
- 7:41case might be. In this case, we'll be in
- 7:43a no trade zone. A no trade zone is when
- 7:46you have a high and a low but no
- 7:49indication. Write that down because you
- 7:51might need that. So, let me go here.
- 7:56Turn this down a little bit.
- 7:59A oops.
- 8:02A node
- 8:04trade zone is when price
- 8:09has a high and low with no indication.
- 8:19Right?
- 8:21So you have a swing high, swing low. If
- 8:24you need help with your swing highs and
- 8:26swing lows, pivot points high and low.
- 8:29This will overall help you and guide you
- 8:31into a decent direction. Do not solely
- 8:34depend on the swing highs and swing
- 8:36lows. Turn it on. See if you got your
- 8:39swing highs and swing lows, right? Some
- 8:40of some of the swing highs and swing
- 8:42lows that price chooses, you know,
- 8:45you're just going to have to play around
- 8:46with them because overall, like I don't
- 8:48use these, but some of the swing highs
- 8:50that it marks out, they can be pretty
- 8:52valid. But I just overall look at it's I
- 8:55don't know. I'm I'm really strange when
- 8:57I see some of the highs that are marked.
- 8:59Like I I wouldn't mark that. I don't
- 9:00think I would mark this. Uh yes, I
- 9:02would. Uh okay, it's pretty accurate.
- 9:06There's some times where this thing
- 9:07don't be accurate, but it looks like
- 9:09it's pretty accurate right now. Maybe
- 9:11they updated or something. I don't know.
- 9:13But sometimes this thing be kind of off.
- 9:14It be marking some of everything on. But
- 9:18anyways, uh turn that on. And you know,
- 9:21just based off of what you see, mark up
- 9:23your swing highs and swing lows, or even
- 9:26test yourself. Mark up your swing highs
- 9:28and lows and then turn it on and see if
- 9:30you're right. Right? So, anyways, we are
- 9:34now in a no trade zone. Boom. So, that
- 9:38literally means no trading. Some of you
- 9:41guys don't understand that. You don't
- 9:43have the discipline to understand no
- 9:45trade zone. So, we don't trade in this
- 9:48zone, right?
- 9:50We can drag this all the way through. So
- 9:53in between this high and this low, we
- 9:55never place a trade. So with that being
- 9:59said, we have our first indication. What
- 10:03is an indication? Once again, comment if
- 10:06you want to or say it out loud in your
- 10:08room, your your work office, whatever.
- 10:10Scream it for all here. What is an
- 10:13indication? A indication
- 10:17is when price breaks
- 10:22a swing high and say it with me, say it
- 10:25with me. Or swing low.
- 10:30Right? So indication is when price
- 10:32breaks a swing high or a swing low.
- 10:34Right? So
- 10:37indication is not something we trade.
- 10:41Don't trade the indication.
- 10:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 10:51no. Don't trade it. It's Don't
- 10:54trade it. It's a breakout,
- 10:57right?
- 10:59So, boom. Don't trade the indication.
- 11:01So, no, no, this is only simply giving
- 11:04you evidence that price can go further
- 11:06down
- 11:08under this level
- 11:10because remember the whole point of that
- 11:13indication is to tell you that it can go
- 11:14down because remember when we was in the
- 11:17no trade zone, it didn't want to go down
- 11:19anymore. Right here, it it didn't want
- 11:22to go any further down, right? So, all
- 11:24in this area, it didn't want to go down.
- 11:27But then something here made price go
- 11:29down.
- 11:31So that shows that price can go down
- 11:35and this was all Asian session. So
- 11:38pretty much I didn't even you know I
- 11:40wasn't worried about this but then we
- 11:42had this strong bullish candle to the
- 11:44upside this strong Drake candle to the
- 11:46upside and it made a high. It made an
- 11:50indication to the high and this is why
- 11:52we trade ICC because if you would have
- 11:54traded a book a breakout you would have
- 11:55been You would have lost all
- 11:57your money. Guinea would have been in my
- 11:59DMs talking about side. Can I get $50?
- 12:02No, you can't get no $50. Bro, you
- 12:04should have never traed the indication.
- 12:06So anyways,
- 12:08now since we have an indication on both
- 12:10sides, we just wait for price to have
- 12:13some volume. So once again, I'm going to
- 12:15turn this on. As you see here, London
- 12:18session didn't move. It didn't come back
- 12:20above our level. multiple multiple wicks
- 12:22out wicks out. But honestly, like
- 12:26literally in the beginning of London
- 12:27session, it came and wicked all the way
- 12:29down and then came up here and wicked
- 12:31out. You should have known just like,
- 12:32okay, maybe I should just wait, right?
- 12:36So, even if we go here to the 15, this
- 12:38is our entry level. We can obviously see
- 12:40that price had no type of structure of
- 12:43what it was going to do in the first
- 12:45place, right?
- 12:47Anyways,
- 12:51back to the 1 hour. So, no trade zone.
- 12:55We have an indication to the upside. We
- 12:56have an indication to the downside.
- 12:59We're going to go here and we're going
- 13:00to look at London session. Didn't do
- 13:02anything. But look at New York.
- 13:07Since we have this indication, we know
- 13:09anything above this level is going to be
- 13:11bullish. New York session came above
- 13:14this level, closed, gave us a close
- 13:17above this level, and then the next
- 13:19candle bullish. Right now, we're getting
- 13:21rejections to the downside. We might get
- 13:23another push. Um, let's see how that
- 13:25turns out. But yeah, you see how I'm
- 13:29able to and once again, I also placed
- 13:32the trade
- 13:33right around this level. I'mma play the
- 13:35clip. Um, yeah, let's just play the
- 13:37clip. Looking for price to go bullish
- 13:40above this gray zone. As you can see, we
- 13:42have a high. Price is holding above this
- 13:44level of support. We got this push right
- 13:47here. So, I'm looking for price to go
- 13:48bullish. I'll put my stop loss under
- 13:51this level right here.
- 13:53So, 60K
- 13:5660k stop on both. Scale out. See if I
- 14:00can get it. Yeah, there we go. And then
- 14:03look for this target right here.
- 14:07I'll try to go up a little bit higher. I
- 14:10really want to target here, but that
- 14:11means my risk-to-reward is a little bit
- 14:13bad, but I'll get the 130 for both.
- 14:19And then let's say, let me see what I
- 14:21can do here. Scale down to the 30. Yeah,
- 14:23I'm going to try to scale in more. Boom.
- 14:27But yeah, I traded price above this
- 14:30level because I knew that price was
- 14:31going to have that potential to be
- 14:33bullish because we already have price
- 14:36breaking above this swing high. We
- 14:38already have that level of support that
- 14:40price didn't want to go down. Oh, that
- 14:41is another thing too. Matter of fact, I
- 14:43can't even say this is a no trade zone.
- 14:45Let me take this away. Right.
- 14:48So, boom. We have that low and price
- 14:50made that high. Remember how I said when
- 14:52price makes a new high, it has to make
- 14:54that level of support. Yeah, let me not
- 14:57forget about that part. This level right
- 14:59here happens to be a level that price no
- 15:01longer wanted to go lower. So with this
- 15:04being said, since we had a new high,
- 15:07this became our next level of support
- 15:11and trading above this level is where
- 15:13price went bullish. So initially my stop
- 15:16loss was right around this level right
- 15:18here. Um to be honest, I didn't want to
- 15:20go far far out because of the
- 15:22risk-to-reward, but I had to take a bite
- 15:25for it. You know, like the
- 15:26risk-to-reward is a little bit off, but
- 15:27I knew what the trend was on the 1 hour
- 15:29time frame. So once again, this is a
- 15:32level where buyers was like, "Hell no,
- 15:35you can't come any lower than this. No,
- 15:37no, no, no, no, no, sir. You cannot go
- 15:39any lower than this." All right. And
- 15:41then above here, we already know sellers
- 15:43are like right here at this level,
- 15:46pushing down. Price breaks above that
- 15:49level and gives us that bullish push.
- 15:53I'm not going to lie, bro. This video
- 15:56should have clicked for you, bro. This
- 15:58video should click for you. I ain't
- 16:01going to lie. I just I just sauced you
