- 1:00hold those trades for a little bit
- 1:02longer
- 1:02and honestly if you're patient you can
- 1:04make some really good money
- 1:05so jumping into the charts we got us 30
- 1:08here on a 15 minute time frame i want
- 1:11you to focus on a higher time frame even
- 1:1315 minutes is a little bit low but this
- 1:15is gonna get you your best entry points
- 1:18what i want you to do is set up a few
- 1:20moving averages these are smoothed
- 1:22moving averages to do so you're going to
- 1:24click on the indicators tab and just
- 1:26type in
- 1:27smoothed it is a built-in indicator and
- 1:29it is free put a star next to it keep it
- 1:31on your favorites tab you want to click
- 1:32this four times
- 1:34or if you only have the basic package of
- 1:36trading view there's an indicator right
- 1:38here
- 1:38called three smoothed moving averages
- 1:40you can add that and that's one
- 1:42indicator so you're going to want to
- 1:43change the settings of the smoothed
- 1:45moving averages the inputs are going to
- 1:47be 21
- 1:4950 100 and 200. you can do whatever
- 1:52colors you want i have white green
- 1:54yellow and red
- 1:55the other indicator that you want to
- 1:56keep up on your chart is the rsi the
- 1:59relative strength index it is also free
- 2:01in the built-ins
- 2:02put a star next to it because you're
- 2:03going to need it i like to adjust my
- 2:04settings a little bit i
- 2:06keep the inputs the same the length is
- 2:08going to be 14 but the style i like to
- 2:10change i like to change the color to
- 2:11yellow because it's my favorite color
- 2:13upper band and lower band instead of 70
- 2:15and 30 you're going to change them both
- 2:17to 50 with a solid line
- 2:19and then just click ok so two very
- 2:21important things that you want to keep
- 2:23in mind when you are above the
- 2:25200 smoothed moving averages you want to
- 2:27look for long positions
- 2:29and when you are below the 200 smoothed
- 2:31moving average you want to look for
- 2:32short positions
- 2:33you also do not want to trade when it
- 2:36looks like this
- 2:36if it's flatlined and dead there is low
- 2:39momentum
- 2:39causing spikes up and down and there's
- 2:42no clear trend so you'll be in a trade
- 2:44for a very long period of time
- 2:46causing you to lose more money so you
- 2:48want to wait for clear spikes and dips
- 2:50like this above or below the 200. now if
- 2:53you guys don't know about market
- 2:54structure please go back and watch my
- 2:56market structure video but essentially
- 2:58it goes
- 2:59like this all right market structure in
- 3:0115 seconds
- 3:02we have our high we have a lower low we
- 3:04have a lower high
- 3:06and we have a lower low you're seeing a
- 3:08staircase pattern correct
- 3:09this is market structure if it does not
- 3:12maintain the staircase pattern down and
- 3:14it starts going up
- 3:16breaking this high like it did right
- 3:18here
- 3:19breaking that previous structure now we
- 3:21are above the 200 period moving average
- 3:24all the moving averages are fanning out
- 3:26showing a clear and concise momentum
- 3:28move
- 3:29up now this is the mistake that most
- 3:31traders make they see a break in
- 3:33structure but they do not wait for new
- 3:35structure to be formed and don't get
- 3:38bothered by these tiny little steps
- 3:40these do not equate for
- 3:42a higher low and a higher high in market
- 3:44structure you want them to be clear
- 3:46and concise like this is a high
- 3:49and this is a low once this new market
- 3:52structure is formed and it bounces
- 3:54up this is your indication clearly
- 3:56bouncing off of the 200 period moving
- 3:59average
- 3:59represented by this huge ass wick this
- 4:02is where you would have gotten in
- 4:04on your position creating a stop loss
- 4:07below
- 4:07that wick and basically what i want you
- 4:09to do is
- 4:10hold this trade long term i am a scalper
- 4:14through and through but if you are a
- 4:15long-term position trader what i want
- 4:18you to do
- 4:19is once you get into profit put your
- 4:22stop
- 4:22loss into profit immediately you don't
- 4:24want to lose money on this trade you
- 4:26never want to be in a position
- 4:28where you're risking losing money i'd
- 4:29rather move my stop loss
- 4:31to in profit like 50 bucks 20 bucks
- 4:35versus losing any amount of money i can
- 4:37always look for the next trade but
- 4:39earning back your losses
- 4:40is a pain in the ass so what i want you
- 4:42to do at this point once we've touched
- 4:44this 200 and bounced off of it and we're
- 4:47in profit
- 4:48you move it to in profit right away and
- 4:51you use this 200 period moving average
- 4:54as your new trailing stop loss as it
- 4:56gets higher and higher you can then
- 4:58subsequently move your stop loss
- 5:01to the next moving average but make sure
- 5:03you don't get too close to the price
- 5:05because you could get stopped
- 5:06out on a quick correction so if you move
- 5:08your stop loss to the 100 or the 50 you
- 5:11can see you would have gotten stopped
- 5:12out right here but if you have your stop
- 5:14loss at the 100
- 5:15you're still going in on this trade so
- 5:18currently
- 5:18just using that break in market
- 5:20structure above and below the 200 period
- 5:23moving average
- 5:24right now still in an open position
- 5:27you're up
- 5:28778 points on us 30.
- 5:31now for me a .01 lot size on us 30
- 5:36means i'm in profit 778 dollars
- 5:39but if you have a bigger account balance
- 5:42or you're trading on a funded account
- 5:44and you're trading a 0.10 lot
- 5:46size you're up 7 780
- 5:51on this one trade now keep in mind this
- 5:53is a long term trade
- 5:54you are doing a trailing stop loss
- 5:56getting the most
- 5:57out of a move so this trade right here
- 6:00is going on for four days and 16 hours
- 6:03but hundred and eighty 7780 in four days
- 6:07is not a bad profit and a great
- 6:09replacement for a full-time job now you
- 6:11need to keep in mind your level of
- 6:12patience and what amount of money you
- 6:14actually want to make on a trade this is
- 6:17a ridiculous trade to continue to hold
- 6:19at this point what you could do is close
- 6:2290
- 6:23of your trade take your profits secure
- 6:26that
- 6:26and then move your stop loss up to the
- 6:2821 or the
- 6:3050. so a 0.1 lot size you're almost to 8
- 6:32grand in profit
- 6:34now why did i tell you to put the rsi on
- 6:36this chart we got into this trade right
- 6:38here so i drew a dotted line and let's
- 6:40look at what the rsi is doing at this
- 6:42point
- 6:42zooming in a little bit closer on this
- 6:44rsi what i like to do is use the rsi as
- 6:47a momentum indicator and it's super
- 6:49simple
- 6:49if the rsi is above the 50 line that
- 6:52means we're having
- 6:53bullish momentum if the rsi is below the
- 6:5650 line that means we're having bearish
- 6:57momentum to the downside
- 6:59so after doing our entire analysis on
- 7:01the price action
- 7:02we come down to the rsi to actually get
- 7:05that reassuring click that hey
- 7:07we are above the 50 level so we are
- 7:09moving into the bullish momentum that's
- 7:12all you're using the rsi for above 50
- 7:14up below 50 down but you also have to
- 7:17take into consideration
- 7:18what direction that 200 moving average
- 7:21is going if it's going down like this
- 7:22you're only looking for short positions
- 7:24if it's going up like this you're only
- 7:26looking for long positions
