0:00All right, guys. I know you guys have
0:02been waiting for me to finish the
0:04course. Today is going to be day 11.
0:06We're going to talk about market
0:07structure today. Um, pretty much going
0:10into depth just a tad bit. Not too crazy
0:12where you don't understand it, but
0:14trying to explain more about market
0:16structure itself and how you don't
0:18really need the whole ICC part of
0:21things. You can just use market
0:22structure um and price action on the
0:24higher time frame. So today, that's what
0:26we're going to talk about. And I hope
0:28everybody is enjoying the series so far.
0:31Once again, I'm back on making the
0:33videos again. Uh we stopped at day 10
0:35and then I was doing some other videos
0:37that was helping you guys out. But
0:39before you watch day 11, please go make
0:42sure you watch all the other days. Um,
0:44if you're new to the channel, I suggest
0:46that you go and watch at least one
0:49through five and then come back to 11 if
0:52you want to, but I would suggest
0:53watching pretty much all of them in
0:55order because it is going to give you
0:57that progress into knowing what I'm
1:00talking about um, in this video. So,
1:02with that being said, make sure you guys
1:03subscribe, send this to somebody that
1:06wants help with trading and they want to
1:08make it a little bit simple. they want
1:10to move away from trading with
1:12indicators and chart patterns and all
1:14these other things. Um, I trade pure
1:16market structure, swing trader, um,
1:19intraday trader because I do probably
1:22hold a trade for maybe a day and then if
1:24I can, I'll hold it for more days. But
1:27most of my trades so far has been
1:28probably like, you know, 8 to 12 hours,
1:31some 24, and then a couple I've had
1:34three or 4 days of holding. But with
1:36that being said, make sure you guys
1:39enjoy the video. Open your brains to
1:41something that is super simple because I
1:43know a lot of people watch my videos and
1:45they're like, "Bro, there's no way this
1:47is this simple." And once again, I'm not
1:50saying I have the holy grail, but I
1:52think simplicity can get you a f like a
1:55farther way.
1:57Is that the correct Is that the correct?
2:01I think being simple and keeping things
2:03simple can take you a lot farther than
2:05anything else. So with that being said,
2:07see you guys.
2:11All right. So basically what I'm going
2:13to explain today is market structure. Um
2:15it's pretty it's fairly simple. I
2:18believe it's fairly simple. Um, once
2:20again, I want to start off this video
2:22and I want to start off all my other
2:24videos of saying ICC is not some new
2:28strategy
2:30of trying to trade like the banks or
2:32anything like I'm not saying that ICC is
2:34only me explaining price action in the
2:39simple way so anyone can understand it
2:43almost kindergarten level ICC is
2:45kindergarten level of price action
2:47that's all it is for people who take a
2:50very long time on learning things, ICC
2:53is mostly for them and then also some of
2:56the advanced people. So with that being
2:58said,
3:00I'm going to show you market structure
3:02and price action
3:04in my way. So it's simple for you to
3:08understand cuz not a lot of people can
3:10understand if I'm just saying you know
3:14more hard I wouldn't even say harder
3:15words but some people you know it takes
3:18a while for them to learn. So,
3:21basically, let's start off with the fact
3:23that um
3:27the market moves and trends. And I feel
3:29like I say this in every video, but the
3:31market moves and trends. These trends
3:34are solidified more on the higher time
3:36frame than it is on the smaller time
3:38frame. So, the higher the time frame you
3:40are, the stronger that this trend
3:42respects itself.
3:44So for one, people that be scared of
3:47trades, first of all, trust yourself.
3:50Trust the trade. Trust the trust the
3:52overall market structure. Market
3:54structure is just the swing highs, swing
3:55lows building up and you know, basically
3:58building bricks. You need building
4:00bricks. You need clues. Market structure
4:02is going to give you highs, swing highs,
4:04and swing lows. These are your clues.
4:07Nothing else. Keep it simple. Keep one
4:10thing you're going to have to learn
4:11about me is I keep it simple.
4:17I try not to over complicate things. A
4:19lot of people overink things. Like
4:21they'll ask like, "Bro, what happens if
4:24it moves 8.3.5%."
4:28And I'm just like, "Bro, like if it
4:30moves, it moves. Just collect your
4:32points. Get in the trade and get out."
4:33Oh, people overthink everything in life.
4:36like they just like everything they do,
4:38they overthink it to the max. If I
4:40haven't said it, then I'm not thinking
4:42about it. Right? So, nine times out of
4:4510, I just follow what price does. I
4:47don't try to predict it. I just look for
4:49the clues. Once I see the clues, I get
4:52into a trade. But that's it. Once I see
4:54the clues, I get into the trade.
4:56Speaking of trade, I'm actually sitting
4:58in BTC buys right now, which is the
5:01trade I'm going to break down later. But
5:03I first want to show you overall market
5:06structure and how price is going to
5:08move. With all this being said, let's go
5:10back to Trading View. We're looking at
5:13BTC. What made me take this trade? Well,
5:16I'm going to give you a little
5:17backstory.
5:19I was in sales previously. Price was
5:22selling under this level. So, I'm going
5:24to go ahead and take all this away. I'm
5:26going to take these alerts away so you
5:27can see. I set up a lot of alerts. So,
5:31you're going to you're going to see way
5:32more alerts. Like, look at this. 99 plus
5:34alerts, alerts, alerts, alerts on
5:37everything I do. I feel like alerts is
5:40the key thing that's what's kept me this
5:42far is setting a lot of alerts, walking
5:45away from the charts, and waiting for
5:48price to hit those levels that I'm
5:49looking for. So, what are those levels
5:52that I'm looking for, you may ask? So,
5:55backstory on this. I was selling price
5:58under this level. So, as we can see
6:00here, price sold down to this level on
6:03uh BTC. So, I was looking for price last
6:06week to sell down to that level on BTC
6:09because anything under this level will
6:12have selling potential down to here
6:13because we already see the reaction. We
6:16already see that price was holding up
6:17buys here and then the moment it broke,
6:20it ended up selling down to this level.
6:22There's a correction in the market and
6:24then price ended up selling back under
6:26here. Again, all I do is trade
6:29reactions. I'm just basically explaining
6:32once again, and this is not a break and
6:34retest. A lot of people always try to
6:36say, "Oh, ICC is just break and retest."
6:38And then they'll like they'll be
6:40laughing because it's like, "Oh, it's
6:41breaking retest." Okay, if it was break
6:44and retest, it will be a break. It will
6:46be actually it will be a break retest
6:49and then getting here, right? Instead,
6:52I'm doing a break. price ends up giving
6:55me an indication the market corrects
6:58grabs as much liquidity as possible and
7:00then makes that second push down
7:03and I'm just overall cuz breaking retest
7:06even if here right let's say if we broke
7:08here made that low retested here you
7:12would have been in a trade and got
7:14stopped out later on so the way I trade
7:18is not breaking retest all I'm simply
7:21doing is looking at where the market has
7:24a level at seeing what price does under
7:27that level, what type of reaction it
7:29gives under that level and trading only
7:32that reaction. So I'm only trading under
7:34this level because we get that bearish
7:37reaction. So that's to settle like to
7:40clear a breaking retest. This is not
7:42breaking retest. It's just simply
7:44following the market structure and the
7:46trend. So with this being said, that was
7:49the sell that I took. And if you follow
7:51me on Instagram, you seen me take the
7:53sale. You see me call it before it
7:55happened. yada yada yada. I'm not gonna
7:57talk your head off on that one. But I
8:00would suggest following me on socials to
8:02keep updates with some of my trades um
8:04before and afters. So yeah. Um but with
8:08this being said, we ended up selling
8:11below this level. So selling here,
8:13selling here. So if we see here too as
8:17well. So once we sold that first time,
8:19we made this low. And this is going to
8:21be the main key point here. We sold and
8:24we made this low.
8:26Next thing you do, so it's going to be
8:29both ways. If price makes a low, that's
8:32because it came from making a lower high
8:34or whatever the case might be. And once
8:37price makes that low, and in this case,
8:40we're on a downtrend. So there's going
8:42to be a lower high before you get that
8:44low. So this is the highest point. and
8:46you're going to track your highs. This
8:48is the highest point you have at the
8:50current time. This is the lowest point
8:52you have at that current time. So, I'mma
8:55drag this across
8:58this level sells. We get here. So, in
9:02between this level, we have sellers
9:04here, buyers here.
9:08So, no trade zone, right? We don't know
9:12what's going on. And yes, we're under
9:14this under this level for later on which
9:16is going to sell. But I'm just trying to
9:18give you an example.
9:19The moment price breaks above here.
9:21Anything above this level, no matter
9:23what, don't overthink it. Please don't
9:25overthink it. Just tell yourself like
9:28force yourself to believe
9:30that the moment price breaks above a
9:32high, anything above this level is
9:35showing you that it's bullish. I know. I
9:38know some of you guys are like, I don't
9:41know. I guess some of you guys don't
9:42trust in the higher time frame, but I
9:44need you guys to trust the moment price
9:47breaks above a swing high. So, breaks
9:50above, so goes above a swing high, this
9:56anything above this particular
9:59level will be bullish. So at this level
10:02of
10:05at this level of 1,000 or um 100,3
10:11price will become bullish, right? Price
10:15is going to become bullish above this
10:17level and start making its way to 116
10:20and then finishing off at 117.
10:23Right? Don't over complicate it. Right?
10:27This is what I was looking at to get
10:30this trade. Overall, this is what I was
10:33looking at to get this trade. Why?
10:35Because in this downtrend, we made a
10:38high,
10:40a low, a lower high, a lower low, a
10:45lower high, a lower low, a lower high, a
10:50higher low. This is the moment right
10:53here where price starts to become
10:55skeptical and then you can say price is
10:59turning back bullish. Right? And this is
11:02all for the correction. Right?
11:05So then the correction happens after
11:07making a new low. Price ends up selling
11:10back down going back under that level
11:12earlier which is here to sell. But then
11:16it fails to go any lower. So the thing
11:19you have to understand about market
11:21structure is it needs to continue
11:23continue.
11:25Price needs to keep going, keep going.
11:28If it's trending, it's going to keep
11:29going. This is one thing that people
11:32overlook.
11:34Trends don't just like pause. like it'll
11:36go on sometimes a consolidation for a
11:39bit to gain more capital,
11:41but if price wants to go on an uptrend
11:44or if price wants to go on a downtrend,
11:46it's going to keep going. Same way with
11:50gold right now. If we go look at gold,
11:54price chose to go on an uptrend ever
11:56since it broke out of that daily range.
11:58So, as we see here, price was um ranging
12:01for months on end and then it chose to
12:05go on an uptrend. And look at it now.
12:07It's going to keep going, keep going
12:10until it wants to stop. The trend is
12:12going to keep going.
12:17So, trading is not one of those things
12:18where every single day you're going to
12:20be in a different type of setup.
12:23You're going to be in a buy, then you're
12:24going to be in a sale, you're going to
12:25be in a buy. You need to find something
12:27that's going to trend because when it
12:29trends, it's going to keep going. Look
12:31at look at look at NASDAQ. The moment it
12:33chooses to go on this uptrend, it's
12:35going to keep going. This is something
12:38that helped me make it click for me
12:41because I used to be that same guy where
12:43I would sell on Monday and then Tuesday
12:46would come and I'll be looking for buys
12:47because I sold yesterday, which is never
12:50the case. So get it out of your head
12:53thinking, "Oh, since I sold on Monday, I
12:56should be looking for sales or I since I
12:58sold on Monday, I should be looking for
13:00buys instead on Tuesday." No. Stick with
13:04the trends. Stick what price is telling
13:05you. Stop trying to become a super Stop
13:08trying to predict the markets. Follow
13:10what is working. Follow the trends. Same
13:13way with social media. Same way with um
13:16doing sports. Same way with doing music
13:18or something like don't try to like
13:21if something works don't try to like do
13:25something opposite. Don't try to be
13:27creative. This is not the this is not
13:28the way to be creative. You cannot be
13:30creative in this market. You have to
13:32follow what price is giving you. And
13:34once price is giving you that you you
13:36just take it take it for what it is.
13:39Right? So with this being said, let's go
13:43back
13:45to what we was looking at. Right. So
13:48higher lows. So as you can see here,
13:50this is something I've I've studied for
13:52such a such a long time. Higher lows are
13:56indications to show you that price is
13:58looking to go bullish because this is a
14:00level that price is looking to buy from.
14:04So buyers are sitting at this level. So
14:06anytime you get or you feel like you get
14:08a higher low when you was expecting a
14:10lower low, price is overall showing you
14:15that price is getting back bullish. It's
14:18not going any lower than this. Buyers
14:20are holding pretty strong at this level.
14:23So we're looking to look for some type
14:26of bullish structure. I'm going to
14:28explain. So basically what we're going
14:31to overall understand and you know this
14:33is day 11. It's going to be a little bit
14:36more advanced. If you feel like this is
14:37confusing, just go back and look at my
14:40previous videos. Um, but yeah, so buyers
14:44are really, honestly, I'm going to keep
14:47it real. I'm going keep it super real
14:49with you. Look at what price is doing at
14:52a level. If it's stalling, if it's not
14:55going down, or if it's not going up,
14:57price is fighting with whoever's in the
14:59in control of the markets at that point.
15:01price gets to this level and then it
15:03starts fighting for this position or it
15:05starts fighting for this price point. So
15:07at 109 price is fighting. Sellers and
15:10buyers are fighting to see who's going
15:12to be at in control of the market.
15:14Sellers are trying to push down even
15:15more. Buyers are like no you can't keep
15:18going this low. Price is already low as
15:20we want it to be. Right. So from here we
15:25can even scale down. So right now we're
15:26on a daily. I'm trying to delete this.
15:29Right now we're on a daily. we can scale
15:31down to the 4hour time frame. This is
15:33where price gets interesting because now
15:36we have price coming down this low and
15:39we have this level of support and we can
15:41obviously see here that buyers and
15:43sellers are fighting and the reason why
15:45we can see that is because we have low
15:46and then we have a small little high
15:48here. We have rejections up here. So we
15:50can see that price is fighting at this
15:53level. So then once price is done
15:55fighting for hours. So this is a few
15:57days. This is two going on three almost
16:034 days. Price is fighting for 3 to 4
16:05days sitting here. Then price breaks
16:08out. This is signs of price being
16:10bullish. But we cannot fully buy off of
16:12this. We cannot fully tell if price is
16:14going to be bullish um for the long run.
16:17How can we tell price is going to be
16:18bullish for the long run? Oh, wait.
16:21Let's go back to that one level that we
16:23marked up earlier. You remember that
16:25high that lower high we had that price
16:27sold off of the first time and then
16:29price ended up going on that correction
16:31all the way back up to this level? Yeah.
16:33Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This same level had
16:36reactions here
16:38showing us that sellers have you know a
16:41very very strong manner at this level
16:45right here as well. We have sellers in a
16:48strong manner at this level.
16:51So price ends up buying up and I never
16:54So with me, I never feel like I miss out
16:57on anything. A lot of people be like,
16:59"Oh, bro, you could have caught all this
17:00right here." Yeah, but I rather have
17:04something more secure. I have something
17:06more of a higher probability because
17:08what happens if price would have bought
17:10up here, made a lower high, and just
17:12sold off. But there's a higher
17:15probability if price breaks above a
17:17level where sellers were at. So as you
17:20see here, as you see here, as you see
17:23here, there was reactions of selling. If
17:26price is above those, so if it's already
17:28past those above it, then I have more
17:33probability of coming out with a bullish
17:35reaction than, you know, buying down
17:38here and price retest this level and
17:40sells off, right? So there's a
17:43difference. This can happen. So price
17:46comes up to here and then has a reaction
17:48and then sells, right? That can happen
17:51because the last level it sold from was
17:53this level. It came here, sold off from
17:56this level. So it can retrace all the
17:59way back up to here. Just as long as it
18:01doesn't break above here, we was good
18:04and then it could have sold. But it
18:05didn't do that. We got a break above
18:07that level. We got a break above that
18:10level or even a retest, quote unquote.
18:13You guys love that. even a retest.
18:17And then this is actually when I
18:19actually seen price and then I would
18:21scroll down to the one hour time frame.
18:22This is when I seen price I seen price
18:26make a push above this level. I counted
18:30this as an indication because we were
18:32above this level and then this is what I
18:35seen. This is what I'm talking about
18:36with ITC market structure price action.
18:39Overall I'm trading market structure and
18:42price action. IC itself is just a way to
18:46explain price action to people that
18:49don't really understand it. So once
18:51again,
18:53me personally, I don't have to follow
18:55every ICC thing
18:58because market structure and price
19:00action is basically what I'm teaching
19:02you. So when it comes to market
19:05structure and price action, if price is
19:08showing me that it no longer wants to go
19:10down. So as we have here, price is
19:13showing me it wants to go, it doesn't
19:15want to go any lower than this. And it
19:18builds itself back above this level. So
19:20I already have a support level here,
19:25right? A support level here and also a
19:27break above here.
19:30I have price above that level on the
19:324hour time frame. So that level here on
19:34that 4 hour time frame, price is above
19:36it. Check. Price has a high. We made a
19:40higher low. Check. Check. Price is above
19:43the 4 hour. Check. All these things.
19:46Check. Right. So I I I see that there's
19:49a previous reaction here. Right. Check.
19:53Right.
19:55So since price is above this level, I
19:58feel comfortable in taking buys above
20:01this level because I'm looking for the
20:03same reaction here to happen. I'm
20:05looking for price to have the same
20:07momentum
20:09again. Once again, this is not me just
20:12showing you trading view. This is me
20:14actually taking the trade. If you go
20:17look at my Instagram, I called the trade
20:19before it happened,
20:21right? So, this is not me just making
20:24something up. This is me showing you
20:26that price does the same thing over and
20:29over. And market structure is going to
20:31tell you what price is going to do. I
20:33don't care about the standards. I don't
20:35care about what people, you know, think
20:39that, you know, oh bro, like like this
20:43is this is something you just made up or
20:45whatever the case might like. Just
20:47people come up with a bunch of random
20:49stuff online. I don't know.
20:52I just follow what price like I've spent
20:55four going on five years trading pure
20:58market structure, pure price action for
21:01four years. I wouldn't say I'm the best
21:02trader. I'm not the best trader. There's
21:04tons of other better traders than me.
21:07But one thing I can say is I try to keep
21:09it as simple as possible from only
21:11looking at market structure and only
21:13looking at what price is showing me. Cuz
21:16at the end of the day, markets is going
21:18to do what it wants to do. So, you just
21:20have to follow it. You literally have to
21:22follow it. So, this is not something
21:25that I'm just making up and just bar re
21:28like I'm not even bar I'm not even in
21:29bar replay, right? Or this is not me
21:32giving you a hindsight trade like I've
21:34already taken the trade. I've already
21:35showed you before the trade happened.
21:37I'm showing you after the trade is
21:39happening. So, let's explain some
21:42entries for me. As you can already see,
21:45my entry is above this level. Let me
21:47answer a couple questions. thought, do
21:49you wait for a closed candle? No. The
21:52reason why I don't wait for a closed
21:53candle is because I trust myself enough
21:56to believe in the higher time frames to
21:58continue to push the market in the
21:59direction that I'm looking for when
22:01price is above or below a reaction
22:03level. So, price is above a re reaction
22:06level. So, we've seen previous sellers
22:09here. There's no reason for me to wait
22:10for a close here because price is
22:13already moving in that direction.
22:15Bitcoin is pretty volatile. I normally
22:18trade gold. I normally trade uh you know
22:20NASDAQ. Haven't really traded NASDAQ
22:22much this year because of you know the
22:24Trump thing going on and just like Trump
22:26throughout this year just kind of you
22:28know [ __ ] up the markets but it's
22:30okay. This quote trade gold I trade gold
22:34during New York session. There's times
22:36where price during New York session um
22:38or there's times on gold where price
22:40will move during London session but I
22:43preferably trade gold on the one hour
22:45time frame during New York session. This
22:48is me answering a lot of your questions.
22:50So what are my entries off of? My
22:52entries normally come from the 15minut
22:54time frame or you know whatever time
22:57frame I see fit of the markup. So in
23:00this case, 4 hour time frame markup, one
23:03hour breakdown, right? Scaling down to
23:06the one hour. It really doesn't matter
23:07what time frame I get my entry on. It's
23:10all going to trend in the same direction
23:12as long as everything align because I'm
23:14pretty sure if we go to the 15-minut
23:15time frame, we can still see the same
23:18setup here. So we can still see that
23:20price ended up coming high, slowing,
23:22slowing down. So as we can see, a
23:24correction in the market gets to a
23:25certain point where it doesn't want to
23:27go down anymore. And then we ended up
23:29making um small highs. So high high a
23:33retrace retest back at this level and
23:35then back again a break above this
23:37level. So either way it goes no matter
23:39what you is going to see price buy at
23:42some point right on whatever time frame
23:44you was on you is going to see price buy
23:46at some point. So it really doesn't
23:48matter what time frame you get it on as
23:50long as you know that above or below the
23:53levels that you're looking for is the
23:54reaction that you're trying to get. So
23:56above this level, I was looking for
23:58price to go bullish. And what did price
24:00do? Go bullish. That's all I'm doing.
24:03I'm looking, finding a level. Okay,
24:06sellers are here. Above here, buys above
24:10here buys. Simple. Keep it simple.
24:14Matter of fact, I can't even tell you
24:16what to do. Some of you guys are still
24:18going to watch this video and just
24:19overthink it like crazy. So, it doesn't
24:22even matter what I say. I'm just really
24:24on YouTube ranting at this point because
24:26some of you guys are like I will show
24:29you over time time again. Literally go
24:33look at my Instagram and then go to my
24:35trades where I show the before and
24:37after.
24:39Look at every single like literally look
24:42at every single trade before and after.
24:45All my trades are based off reactions
24:48because one thing it is if price has
24:51done something before it's most likely
24:54going to do it again.
24:56Now that goes and varies in different
24:59ways because something that happened in
25:012021 may or may not happen in 2025
25:05because I know there's a lot of people
25:07that kind of go back and they back test.
25:10And that's another thing. Back testing
25:12is me. Me personally, I'm going to say
25:14it like back testing is [ __ ]
25:16[ __ ] Whoever made back testing is
25:19actually [ __ ] because
25:24back testing you're essentially using
25:28you're you're you're trying to trade the
25:31real time markets
25:33with data from four years ago, 5 years
25:37ago, which makes no sense at all. How
25:40are you going to try to use something
25:42that happened in 2021,
25:442022, and use it in the 2025 market when
25:49the markets is changing daily based off
25:52of economical
25:54uh just economical changes in general.
25:56The market is constantly changing every
25:58single day. Like just yesterday, we had
26:01a whole government shutdown in the US.
26:04that like that didn't happen since co
26:06since you know the n like um October
26:1019th but when the government shut down
26:12in 2019 the markets plummet
26:17have you seen gold have you even seen
26:20NASDAQ is still pumping so if you would
26:24have you know got into a trade yesterday
26:26and thinking oh the government's going
26:28to shut down let me try to sell price oh
26:30this is the top of price you would have
26:32been absolutely [ __ ] yesterday,
26:36right? And that just goes to show like
26:38me personally, I think the best way for
26:40any trader to learn how to trade
26:43is going into the live markets
26:47every single day as a beginner.
26:50You don't have to trade every day, but I
26:52need you to get a feel for what it's
26:54like to see price move in real time.
26:57You're going to learn way more from
27:01being in real time and watching
27:03everything happen and play out in front
27:05of you. You're going to learn way more
27:07lessons when price is actually in front
27:10of you showing you this is what it's
27:13like to be in the the market.
27:16You're you're going to learn way more
27:18because when you back test, you can go
27:20to any point, but you really won't grasp
27:23what that day was like. You don't know
27:25what that day felt like. You're you're
27:27back testing all the way back in
27:302019 on a random Tuesday. You don't know
27:34what that day was like for you. You on
27:37on in and on a random Tuesday in 2019,
27:40you could have been [ __ ] doing
27:41something different. You don't know what
27:43that day feels like. But I bet you you
27:46will know what October the 2nd feels
27:48like. I know exactly what trading in the
27:51markets at 5:00 in the morning. October
27:542nd. I know what that feels like right
27:56now because I'm looking at it. I'm I'm
27:59in the moment. I'm here. I'm looking at
28:01price move.
28:03So, I have a feeling towards it. I have
28:05a reaction towards it. I have some type
28:07of emotion behind it. So, me personally,
28:11I feel like the best way for anybody to
28:13learn is not back testing. It's
28:15basically being in the real time markets
28:18and seeing what is going on so you can
28:20have an emotion towards it. if you like
28:22it, if you don't like it, if you want to
28:24get into the trade, if you don't want to
28:25get into the trade, and these are
28:27decisions, decisions that are going to
28:30be very crucial later on down the line
28:32to make you successful. And I'm not
28:33going to say it's guaranteed success,
28:35but I'm definitely saying that you'll
28:37learn a lot more if you put yourself in
28:39the fight.
28:42The same way I tell a lot of people, I
28:45do boxing. I pretty much do MMA, right?
28:50My coach used to always like punch the
28:53bag, do this, do that. I'm punching the
28:55bag, I'm kicking the bag, I'm doing all
28:57these drills and stuff. And I'm doing
29:00really good. I'm getting really good at
29:01the drills. I'm getting really good at
29:04punching the punching bag.
29:07But the moment I'm starting to spar with
29:08my coach in the beginning, and this is
29:11in the beginning, the moment I'm
29:12sparring with my coach,
29:14I just freeze up. I don't know what to
29:17do.
29:19I'm completely lost. Everything
29:21Everything I've learned is completely
29:24gone from my head
29:26and I'm trying to put everything
29:28together.
29:31So, what I'm basically trying to say is
29:34like when it comes to trading, it's
29:36going to be the same way. You're
29:38learning all these things on different
29:40YouTube videos and you're learning all
29:41these different things on just like how
29:45to trade and and like what to look for,
29:47what are my entries, what are my stop
29:49losses, but then soon the moment you get
29:52into the actual markets and you're ready
29:53to trade and you're going to place a
29:55trade, you lose all that information,
29:57everything's gone.
30:00You you don't know why. You don't know
30:01why. You don't know. you just did all
30:03this studying and for some reason in the
30:05live markets you just can't remember
30:07nothing.
30:10But this is how you can fix it. If you
30:14do this every single day, if you get
30:16into the markets every single day,
30:19you'll adapt to it. You'll be used to
30:21it. This is normal for you.
30:24This is simple, easy for you.
30:27So, back to boxing, instead of do I mean
30:31you c can do drills to sharpen up your
30:33skills, but imagine somebody
30:37who fights every day versus somebody who
30:39just punches the bag every day.
30:42That person that knows how to fight has
30:44been in different scenarios, has put
30:46themselves in different mistakes and
30:48problems and and overall, you know,
30:50obstacles so then they can learn and
30:53adapt.
30:55As a trader, you put yourself in the
30:57fire. So then you can learn faster. You
31:00learn faster from being in a fire than
31:02being in a cold because or honestly both
31:05being in a cold and fire if we're
31:07talking about the elements of things cuz
31:09the cold is going to get you to go
31:11faster because you don't want to be in a
31:12cold anymore. Obviously the fire too as
31:14well. But all in all, you get what I'm
31:16trying to say. You learn way faster when
31:20you're actually putting yourself in the
31:21position to make mistakes. put yourself
31:24in a position to make mistakes because
31:26you're going to make mistakes, but
31:27you're going to learn from those. You
31:29learn way faster from doing things. I
31:32was a big person. I was a big kid on the
31:34I was that kid that was like, "Don't
31:37touch the stove. It's going to be hot."
31:39As a kid, don't touch the stove. It's
31:42going to be hot. Me, on the other hand,
31:45I don't believe you. I got to do it
31:47myself. Let me go touch the stove.
31:50Same way with trading. You're gonna blow
31:53your account if you overlever.
31:55I'mma overlever one time. Oh, I blew my
31:58account. Never doing that again because
32:00I don't want to do that again. I've done
32:02it before. I've seen the effects of it.
32:04I don't want to do that again. Oh, I see
32:07that I get I get good entries when I
32:09trade um New York session. Let me keep
32:12doing that because it works,
32:15right? These are things you need to
32:16start picking up and start doing. you do
32:19a like I'm pretty sure you've won a
32:22trade before in your life. You take what
32:24you did in that trade and you try to do
32:26the same thing of it.
32:29I've been trading ICC price action
32:32market structure for four years. When I
32:34first seen it happen and play out, I was
32:37like, "Oh snap, it played out. Let me
32:40keep doing this because it worked." The
32:43moment that it doesn't work, then we
32:44obviously critique things to make it do
32:46work. But overall, you need to follow
32:49along with what price is g giving you
32:52and overall stop over complicating
32:54things. So with all this being said,
32:58sorry for my little rant, but I just had
33:00to clear up a few things.
33:03Entry points this this this anything
33:06above this level. So my entry point, as
33:09we can see here,
33:12my entry point came from here. Whenever
33:14price ended up making this level of
33:16support and then price retested and
33:18started to push up, this is actually
33:20where I entered because I seen that
33:22price was above that level on the higher
33:25time frame. So above here, this is where
33:27I was looking for price to be entering
33:29because we have that previous reaction
33:30above that level. Right? My stop loss is
33:33obviously under a level where you know
33:36if price was to break under that level
33:37of support, this would count as price
33:40being bearish and I should get out the
33:42trade, right? So all in all, I make
33:45everything pretty simple. And my TP is
33:47here because this is the level that
33:49price sold from. But as you can see, I'm
33:51still holding this trade because price
33:52is fully broken above this level. So I
33:55know bulls are in control above this
33:57level. We're past all the sellers. So
34:00now price is looking for the next level
34:02of sellers. And I actually think that is
34:05here. So somewhere up in this level. So
34:08it could be 19, it could be 22, 23. That
34:12is what I'm looking for. And I can also
34:16show you Salana too because
34:20this is okay. Let me see where am I
34:23doing
34:24cuz we can go out and I can also show
34:27you this too as well. This one I've been
34:29in and out. I'm not going to lie. I've
34:30been in and out of this one. But I'm
34:32going just overall show you what I'm
34:34looking at on Salana. So Salana
34:38like trust me I have receipts for days
34:40man. So Salana, I'm actually in buys
34:43right now as we speak and floating 40k
34:48on that one.
34:51And this is what I see on Salana. So if
34:53we go here, price above this level has a
34:55reaction. So as we go here,
34:59trust me, trust me, bro. Trust me. All
35:03right. So here overall building higher
35:06high. So we can see that price at this
35:08level. So
35:10boom, we have a selling level here,
35:14right? Selling level here comes here.
35:17Higher low, higher high, higher low
35:21fails to come higher, but another higher
35:24low. And then we get a push above this
35:27level. So that level that we previously
35:29sold from, that indication we had, it
35:33ended up later playing out here. So
35:35above this level ended up making a push.
35:38Salana made a push. Ended up
35:41consolidating here later on giving up
35:43and then selling off super hard.
35:47Sells off super hard. We have a lower
35:49high, a lower low. Then price makes a
35:53lower high, higher low. So once again we
35:57have that same thing where price starts
35:59giving us clues. So now we have a higher
36:01low. We pick up on this higher low.
36:05price ends up breaking that lower high
36:06it made and now it's starting to build
36:08up. But remember that level that we was
36:12looking at on the daily or even not even
36:14the daily, just say the 4 hour, this
36:17level right here. Remember, anything
36:19above this level was going to go
36:21bullish. What did we do? We came above
36:23this level and we went bullish right
36:26above this level.
36:29Right above this level right here and
36:32price went bullish. So, I'm looking for
36:36price to have the same reaction it had
36:38here all the way to here. As you can
36:41see, I'm already in a trade. Once again,
36:42like I said, I've I had this account at
36:45$5,000 this morning and my entry
36:48previously was here and Salana Pace.
36:52Salana Pace. So, with this being said,
36:56I'm holding a trade um right now on
36:59Salana and I'm looking for price to push
37:01up to here. So, $156,000
37:05and yeah, I'm just looking at overall
37:07market structure itself and waiting for
37:09price to start making that push. And
37:12overall, I keep it simple as possible.
37:14Once again, keep it simple. Market
37:17structure, price action,
37:19looking at the reaction, seeing that
37:21price above this level is going to be
37:23bullish. I'm not over complicating it
37:25like people. Um, that's what separates
37:28me from pretty much anybody that I know
37:31that trades is some people like to keep
37:33it complicated and try to overthink it.
37:37All I'm looking at is, hey, price here
37:40or let me do it this way.
37:44Hey, price here had sellers. Price above
37:47it has buyers. Oh, price is above the
37:50level buy it. That's it.
37:54So, with that being said, I hope you
37:55guys having a nice day. All right.
37:57What's up, guys? Um, I haven't forgot
38:00about Telegram. I hope you guys are
38:01having an amazing day. Um, just kind of
38:04been working on trying to basically get
38:07a bunch of venues and stuff for the
38:09future cities and countries coming up.
38:13If anybody knows anybody that can get a
38:15venue in Cape Town, let me know. Let me
38:18know if you can get a venue for 700
38:20people plus in Cape Town. Text me in the
38:24comments. Anyways, I haven't traded for
38:26the past week. So, October 2nd and then
38:29last time that I traded was the 1st to
38:3221st. Um, my Bitcoin account is not on
38:36here because honestly, like I just
38:38honestly play around with crypto and do
38:41as much as I know when it comes to
38:43crypto. I feel like crypto follows price
38:45action. Um, so it's been pretty good,
38:49but I haven't traded gold um since the
38:5221st of last month. And it's honestly
38:56because like I'mma break it down to you
38:57guys. Um, honestly after pretty much
39:01let's see the 21st, right? So the 21st
39:04was actually here if I'm not mistaken.
39:07Um, when I bought price from here and
39:09came up to this level right here, I
39:11honestly thought price was going to
39:12sell. It stalled here and this is where
39:14I closed. And overall, I thought once
39:18again it was going to sell from this
39:19level. I didn't know it was going to
39:20keep making all-time highs, but
39:21honestly, I don't know why I told myself
39:23that cuz on the 4 hour time frame, it
39:25definitely diff definitely made a higher
39:27low. So, it could have kept pushing. I
39:30don't know why I didn't hail. I don't
39:32know. I didn't hold. So, I'm not going
39:34to hold a grudge on it. Bygones are
39:37bygones. So, it is what it is. Um, and I
39:41don't know why I didn't get into this
39:43second trade either, but once again, it
39:46is what it is. The 28th price made a
39:48good decent push above this level. I
39:50think I was kind of skeptical once again
39:52because at alltime highs, I'm really
39:54skeptical of what can happen up here.
39:57Um, I don't want to be caught in a
39:58range. I don't want to be caught in
40:00anything. So, I prefer just to, you
40:03know, wait and see what happens overall
40:05long term. Even if I miss a couple
40:07points, it's it's cool with me. If I
40:10miss some trades, I don't I it's okay.
40:13Like, I still want to keep making money,
40:15of course. But if my setup isn't what I
40:18want it to be or if I'm not, you know,
40:20really feeling it, then I'll stay away
40:22from it. And that's just me, you know,
40:23like y'all guys do y'all thing. I see
40:25y'all be still rocking it. Everybody's
40:27still getting into some good trades,
40:28right? Um overall on the gold market, we
40:32do have a new high above uh
40:35uh 3,870.
40:38Um so anything above this level could
40:40potentially push push up. Honestly, we
40:42can head to 4,000 at this point at by
40:44the end of the year, but I'm not going
40:46to make any predictions on that. But
40:484,000 looks pretty reasonable at this
40:51point. And yeah, um with gold, I haven't
40:54really much traded. You can see that
40:56we're building those higher lows, those
40:57higher levels of support. Um, I
41:00currently am working on a video for you
41:03guys too as well. Um, this one is
41:06basically explaining market structure a
41:08little bit on entries mostly market
41:10structure so you can understand. Um,
41:13we're going to touch on that for the
41:14next three four videos. Market
41:16structure, market structure, market
41:17structure because this is going to help
41:18with your entries. Um, and let's go back
41:23here.
41:24Um, I'm currently, so I just turned,
41:28bro, y'all don't even want to know what
41:29I did with this account with Salana. Um,
41:31trading Salana in and out. But, uh,
41:34turned this from like 5K and now we're
41:36at 80. Um, I'mma keep I'mma keep, uh,
41:41which one? Oh,
41:44so I trade crypto on liquid, by the way.
41:47Um, I just feel like it it pays a lot on
41:50when it comes to trading liquid in
41:51crypto. I don't know why. I think just
41:54the broker itself pays a lot when it
41:55comes to trading crypto. So, I prefer
41:57trading well I just prefer trading on
42:00liquid in general. Um, but currently I'm
42:02holding BTC positions. Uh, let me go
42:05here.
42:07And sorry guys that I post kind of
42:09sporadically on my social media
42:11platforms. just mainly because like I
42:14just get online and pretty much like you
42:18know not forcing you to but if you
42:20follow me on everything um it's just
42:22better that way because you know at any
42:24any given moment in time I post
42:26something and you know I don't give two
42:28second thoughts to it. I try my best to
42:30post as much as possible when it comes
42:32to trading. So sometimes sporadically
42:35I'll post something. It might be on my
42:37main story or it might be on my Telegram
42:39or it might be on my Twitter. Um, but
42:41I'm trying to get it more systematic,
42:43but I don't want to feel like a robot
42:45either. I don't want to make it feel
42:46like a job. I just kind of post and, you
42:48know, if you see it, you see it. If not,
42:50it's cool, you know. Um, but currently
42:53I'm holding a BTC position. As you can
42:56see, um, price is now above that level.
42:58So, I'm going to go back to Trading
42:59View.
43:01Price is above that high. This is the
43:04actual level that I was targeting, but
43:07we broke right through it. So, this is
43:09letting me hold my trade. For the people
43:10that ask a lot, how do I hold my trades?
43:13I'm holding my trades more um when price
43:16breaks above that target level. Um so,
43:19you can see the first time. So, this is
43:21what I should have did on gold, but I
43:22didn't. Um 1 hour time frame came into
43:25this level, had a reaction, of course,
43:28cuz there's sellers here.
43:30You you guys know, you already know the
43:33rundown. Sellers are here. So, that's
43:35why we got the reaction here. Price came
43:38in with a reaction but buyers were
43:39strong. So ended up making a level of
43:42support here. So a small level here. And
43:44the reason why this is a level of
43:46support for me is because if we zoom in
43:49we can see that price came down sellers
43:52kicked in. So sellers pushed tried to
43:56buyers were too strong buyers ended up
43:59pushing back. Right? So this level shows
44:02me that buyers are pushing from this
44:04level. Now is it really strong? M yeah
44:08it could be could be strong but we'll
44:11have to see how price reacts to that but
44:14anything above this level has bullish
44:16potential so anything above here has
44:19bullish potential because it broken
44:22above the sellers that we had if I can
44:25scroll out the sellers that we had over
44:27here that makes sense. So with all this
44:31being said um yeah keep it simple as
44:34possible. I got a video coming out for
44:37you guys. And then I also have a video
44:39on the second channel too as well. So if
44:41you want to go watch the second channel,
44:44um you can. It's just a five minute
44:46video of me ranting. Um if you want to
44:48go watch that, it's ICC Mafia. And yeah,
44:52check that one out. And then I got a
44:54video coming out tonight.
44:56Um it's actually six o'clock in the
44:58morning. So I have a video coming out
44:59later on in the morning when you wake up
45:02uh for New York session. Um, yeah. And
45:06that's pretty much all I have to say. I
45:08love you guys. Once again, I love you
45:10guys because, you know, I'm gonna go on
45:13a small rant. Um, ICC
45:16is once again like I want to explain
45:19that ICC is not something that I just
45:22like, oh, I just made price action and
45:24market structure. You know, ICC is just
45:26me showing you guys in a three-step
45:29process how to understand market
45:32structure and price action. And it's
45:34also not breaking retest because there's
45:36multiple times where we can debunk that.
45:38Um, but I'm going to put it in a video,
45:40but there's multiple times where you can
45:41debunk um breaking retests because
45:45that's not the case. Um,
45:48ICC is just something that helps
45:50beginners, even people that want to
45:52change their strategy. It's a way to get
45:55into trading price action, trading
45:57without indicators, trading without
45:59chart patterns, and all these different
46:02things. It just makes it so much
46:04simpler. And I'm super grateful for you
46:07guys, you know, just overall pushing it
46:09and overall showing people that, you
46:11know, trading is not, you know, this
46:14hard thing that people make it to be.
46:16Trading is something that anybody can
46:18get into. Now, will you become a
46:20six-fig, seven figure earner?
46:24It's it's the percentage is low, but I
46:27believe in everybody. But one thing I
46:30will say is, can you make a sustainable
46:32living off of it? Yes. Guaranteed?
46:37No. Because I can tell you a thousand
46:40things. I can tell you the right things
46:42to do. All the right things. But
46:45you're not going to listen to it or
46:47you're not going to understand it until
46:48you actually go through it or you push
46:50yourself to go through it or you push
46:52yourself to actually make it work. Now,
46:55with the way that I'm teaching you and
46:57showing you, please do not overlook
46:59anything that I say because I try to put
47:02out as much informational or, you know,
47:05in like informative advice in
47:09everything, in every aspect. Sometimes I
47:12might joke around. I might post a joker
47:14here or there, but nine times out of
47:17ten, um, pretty much everything I'm
47:19saying is something I've been through.
47:21I've been through it before. I've done
47:23it before. And like I I know the outcome
47:28of it.
47:30I know the long-term outcome of things.
47:34I wouldn't say I'm a major in it, but I
47:37do people watch a lot. I do like to
47:39watch human psychology, human behavior.
47:43I wouldn't say um as advanced as the
47:45college students, but there's two
47:47different types of uh I guess you can
47:50say people that study psychology.
47:52There's the people that actually have
47:54the foral side of it. So the actual
47:57books and you know college and degrees
48:00behind it and then there's the you know
48:02real world psychology which is like the
48:04street smarts or you know the street
48:06psychology which is just basically you
48:09know just understanding the human brain
48:11understanding human behavior
48:13understanding you know you know just
48:16deeper levels and things and that's
48:18something that I like to you know study
48:20look at um but yeah overall I'm just so
48:23glad that we are pushing ICC helping
48:26people as much as possible. I really do
48:28hope a lot of people are, you know,
48:30going out there and not charging people.
48:33We we want to make money. I want you
48:35guys to make money from trading. Trading
48:37only. You know, if you become an
48:39influencer, you know, you can make, you
48:41know, commissions, affiliate money or
48:44whatever. But don't do it from, you
48:47know, just the standpoint of like, oh,
48:49let me just do it just because it's
48:51going to make me some money. I want you
48:52guys to all document your journey. Share
48:56it with others. Once you share it with
48:58others, win or loss, it don't matter. It
49:02don't matter if you win or lose, just
49:04document it. It doesn't matter because
49:07one thing is I wish I would have
49:08documented back then because y'all would
49:11have definitely seen more of the things
49:13that I had to put myself through to get
49:15to where I'm at now.
49:17So, one thing I will say is
49:20I'm super proud that everybody's pushing
49:22ICC and we're overall helping a lot of
49:25more other people. And I'm saying we
49:27because I see guys, you know, make, you
49:30know, separate group chats, even though
49:32I hate them sometimes, but, you know, I
49:35want everybody in one big group chat,
49:37but it is what it is. Um, I see people
49:40going out teaching ICC. Some people some
49:44people go out and they'll teach ICC and
49:46they will never give me credit. That's
49:47okay. It's whatever. But I'm so glad you
49:50guys are pushing it. People are getting
49:52help. People are starting to understand
49:54it. People are not paying five tous
49:56thousands of dollars to learn from some
49:59guy with a materialistic things that we
50:02fall for.
50:04I'm glad that people are able to come
50:06into the market freely, start to learn,
50:09understand it. If they like it, they
50:11start trading with their capital. Once
50:13they start trading with their capital,
50:15they don't have to worry about coming up
50:16with funds to pay for this, to learn
50:18this, to do that. You can just hop into
50:21a YouTube video, earn something, and
50:23then get into the markets. It doesn't
50:26have to be with your real money. You can
50:28start practicing trading on the side or
50:30demo on the side for a bit, stacking up
50:32some capital, set aside, and then when
50:34you feel like you're ready, you're
50:36ready. You're free. You're independent.
50:38I teach independent traders. I want you
50:40guys to be independent.
50:42I don't want you guys to depend on me
50:45unless it comes to the teaching videos,
50:46but um I don't want you guys to depend
50:49on me to call out trades. I'm not that
50:51type of guy. I used to be back then. It
50:56was something that I used to do. But
50:57then I started to see how much it was
50:59hindering people. The same people
51:02waiting for a trade, begging for a
51:04trade, looking for a trade. And there's
51:06days where I will go like this.
51:10I'll be like this. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
51:18Let's go here. 10 11 11 days
51:23minus the minus Saturday minus Sunday.
51:26So
51:289 days
51:30where I don't go trading. Who knows when
51:33the next time I'll trade gold. And
51:35you're just waiting. You're just you and
51:38you as a dependent trader, you will be
51:40just waiting for me to place a trade.
51:42It's already Thursday. Tomorrow's Friday
51:45and we haven't I haven't placed a trade
51:47this week. One week you go with no
51:50money. No making no money. Second week
51:53going with no making. You didn't make
51:55money.
51:57Right? So that's not what I'm trying to
51:59do to you guys. I'm trying to have you
52:02guys independent, being able to catch
52:04setups yourself,
52:06using my teachings to overall, you know,
52:10better, you know, better the way you
52:12think in the markets when it comes to
52:15price action, market structure,
52:19making your charts cleaner.
52:22You should have, you know, gray boxes,
52:25maybe circles, maybe arrows, and and a
52:28line. That's pretty much it. You don't
52:31need all this. You don't need this.
52:35You don't You don't need all this.
52:39You don't You don't need this. You don't
52:42need all this.
52:45Right. You don't need that. You don't
52:47need this.
52:52You don't need all that.
52:54Right. So, with that being said, I'm
52:57super glad that we're pushing it.
53:00and continue to push it. Once again,
53:02like I said in the beginning, if anybody
53:04knows people that can help me with
53:06venues in different cities, help me with
53:08the venues, you know, um just overall
53:11finding them because like I said in
53:14Amsterdam, I was not prepared for 400
53:17people to show up, but we did. So, with
53:21that being said, um I feel like the
53:24crowds could get bigger and bigger. So,
53:26if you know anybody that can help with
53:28venues and finding venues, um, just let
53:30me know. Give me a shout. And yeah, I'm
53:33off.
