00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:26,250
ICT: Good afternoon, folks. All right, I'm just gonna show you real quick. What
I did on the British Pound USD, I did do a recording. And the recording didn't

2
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:38,760
turn out too well. And I'll show you. I'll show you the reason why. Here's the
recording I had for last night you see me actually getting in the trade as it

3
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:53,820
was shooting down and long and open. And a few minutes after I went to bed,
Murphy's Law kicks in. And my antivirus cleaning software thing pops up like

4
00:00:53,820 --> 00:01:11,820
that. It stays there for hours, at whole time prices, doing what it's doing. I
was unable to capture that and share that with you. So that's a little bit of a

5
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:24,210
letdown. You can see about four and a half hours worth of recording was ruined
with a photo bomb by McAfee's antivirus, and I'm not affiliated with them. So

6
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:35,400
this is not product placement, folks. Alright, so let's go over to charts. This
is the daily. This is the British Pound USD. Now immediately last night, I

7
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:46,590
stayed up all night long watching the pound dollar. And I was looking for a
specific scenario, which I'll outline in a few minutes. But for now, I want you

8
00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:56,160
to take a look at what's been going on on the daily. We've had the pound dollar
moving higher. And it looks to me personally, that we're going to want to go

9
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:14,760
above this high. Okay, so if nothing else between now and say next Tuesday, I
would look for an attempt to try to get up to that price point. So the next week

10
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:29,970
worth of trading. We had a nice wicked decline rate from Asia last night. So I'm
going to cover that a little bit as well. But as you can see, I'm trading down

11
00:02:29,970 --> 00:02:41,910
here near the end or the low of the day buying down. Okay, and the reason I'm
doing that is if you look at what's happened every time we had these really long

12
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:53,340
attempts to go lower taking out equal lows here. Market rallies away. The market
drops down aggressively in here. Okay clears out a short term low here. Market

13
00:02:53,340 --> 00:03:02,790
rallies again. And we have a deep retracement. When we see that happening here,
intraday, we go into a lower timeframe, hourly chart. These are the levels I was

14
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:13,080
actually watching. And I'll give you some of the framework in a minute. But we
had these equal lows on the fourth of December. Okay, we didn't run down

15
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:24,840
initially. And I was watching this happen live. And it just went down and
beautifully hit that. And we went right into consolidation here and then drove

16
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:35,190
lower, clearing out those equal lows. The first time it went through just up by
a little bit and left that liquidity pool there. Okay, price dropped down

17
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:45,390
aggressively, even lower to take out these equal lows. And exactly 20 pips below
that takes us down to here at 133 88. And the bodies of the candles are

18
00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:59,130
respecting that. We did step through it with a wick. But that also took us below
these lows as well. Okay, so it really came down took out those price points for

19
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:09,870
sell stops that are resting in the marketplace. Now. My opinion is, if I'm
accurate in my assumptions about where they're trying to take the daily pound

20
00:04:09,870 --> 00:04:22,530
dollar chart that's above these old highs back here. And if that's the case, we
have equal highs here. It's beautiful reason to expect that. And we've had equal

21
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:33,030
lows taken here. And we rally back away. We've gone below these equal lows,
these equal lows and these equal lows. So to me personally until I see

22
00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:45,840
otherwise, and it will be in the form of being stopped down, I'm sure. But if we
can rally from here, I think we're going to 3555 as a weekly objective. If it

23
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:58,560
goes beyond that, then obviously we'll have to consider the 3660 level. Okay. Do
I see that this week? Hmm. Personally, no, I don't see that. But I think that we

24
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,610
could obviously get above These highs here, and it's go back over hourly, okay,
and

25
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:16,860
drop down into a 15 minute timeframe with these points of reference, we have an
old low in here, price trades back up to that. And equal lows trading through

26
00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:30,390
that and the subsequent decline through a previous double bottom as indicated on
the hourly chart. As price drove down into that and cleared those stops, I went

27
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:44,280
in long on this candle right here. Okay, right on there. At that candle I had,
it looks like if I go through my recording, it looks like only had about five to

28
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:56,580
six pips of heat, or draw down against me not counting the spread. So not a bad
fill, I had to sit through a lot of slop and chop today. And we had the New York

29
00:05:56,580 --> 00:06:08,340
session set up in here, which I'll zoom in in a minute and show you what that
was. But we had both points of entry, the London open, and the New York open.

30
00:06:09,060 --> 00:06:20,880
And we had a nice profit on these, I had a nice profit on both positions, I have
a remaining balance of one standard lot from the entry at London. And it's

31
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:28,830
sitting right below these lows here, I was surprised that I didn't get stopped
out actually waiting. So I'd have the video done around two o'clock, but it

32
00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:34,380
looked like it was gonna come down and stop me on this, it's going to wait for
it to do that, and then come back and give you the cat with that insight and

33
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:49,110
post trade result. But it didn't happen. So while I'm working with you live
here, I do want to take off half in here of that last standard. And that way, I

34
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:57,450
don't care if it comes down, I'll take another piece out in a nice little area.
So if it does break down in here and go slower, then it really doesn't make a

35
00:06:57,450 --> 00:07:10,410
difference to me, I have such a small little position in here, I'll get 30 pips,
still with being stopped out and add another $190 of demo profit. So let's zoom

36
00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:30,330
in here and get a better look at that New York setup. Okay, to the lowest body
in the slow. And we're taking it all up to this close here. So this is the range

37
00:07:30,330 --> 00:07:43,110
between open and close between between these two reference points, this one
here. And this one here, okay, disregard the wicks, we're not interested in

38
00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:53,490
that, and price comes down, does wick through it, but does not go below the low.
So in here, I was looking for a reason to anticipate a rally up into the

39
00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:59,700
symmetrical price swing. And I'm going to go into a five minute chart now.

40
00:08:05,910 --> 00:08:22,080
Okay, and take this off. And I'm just going to take you over to the trade recap
or account history. And I'll add all the price points. And you can see what I

41
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:38,760
did in terms of entry and my exit points. Okay, here's my most recent exit. I
get questioned all the time, and my doctor knees up after the fact. And I like

42
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:52,500
to do this to show you that they are in fact, entries and exits. And I don't
personally know how to manipulate this, to fake it. I don't know why people

43
00:08:53,100 --> 00:09:06,870
don't know why they make such a big deal about it, because it's everything that
I teach. So again, there's our reference points here. And if you look at what we

44
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:17,970
show, on this rally here, this is a load that was formed in the London setup.
And we had a rally up and it drops down. We're gonna look at this reference

45
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:31,800
point right in here. And you'll see another optimal trade entry in here that
further added confidence to me wanting to take this trade. So we had the range

46
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:45,480
from this low up to this highest body and price drops down into the 62%
tradesmen level here, and then exactly here on this candle at 1215. So this is

47
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:56,970
the new york open kill zone. So trading right there, you could be a buyer. Now I
didn't get that. It rallied away and it came back to here and started the rally

48
00:09:56,970 --> 00:10:05,760
again. And I thought to myself well I'm going to miss this if I don't do
something with it. So all I did was key off of an order block, which is these

49
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:14,400
down close candles of you that is a bullish order block. When price trades down
into that area here, I was trading right into it, as it was a bearish candle.

50
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:29,850
And that was my point of entry took profit here to profit here, collapsing it.
And then you can see the reference points up here, above target to above target

51
00:10:29,850 --> 00:10:51,780
one. And if we look at the price point for the range right here, you'll see what
I was targeting, I was using the low here, up to the highest body here and

52
00:10:52,080 --> 00:11:01,170
target to look where I was working those levels. When, if you could have watched
the video I was doing without having that photobomb of McAfee anti virus thing

53
00:11:01,170 --> 00:11:13,200
popping up on me you'll see me actually scaling out and taking those points of
profit here because I was working at Target to level based on this fit and

54
00:11:13,290 --> 00:11:24,630
target one here. Okay, and then, again, target one right now or I just bailed
out. Those levels are in my mind when I'm looking at the chart, I don't have to

55
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:34,080
have them on there. Because I know what I'm looking at. Once I get a feel for
where I got a level or two that I want to be trying to scale out, you'll see the

56
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:44,940
grouping just like a person that shoots a gun at a gun range. They look at the
the spread on the target afterwards. This is why Okay, target two, you can see

57
00:11:44,940 --> 00:11:55,440
the grouping here with my exits. You can see the grouping here at Target one and
you can see the exit I just did with you guys live here. Okay. And I have that

58
00:11:55,470 --> 00:12:09,360
remaining portion that if it comes down and stopped me out, I really don't care.
But if it continues, I'll be looking forward to run above these highs up in here

59
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:26,790
around 3480 and then up to my objective which is 7555 up here. Up there, give me
162 pips, so that's that, but all in all, it was a rather difficult, sloppy day

60
00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:35,700
personally took a lot of patience on my part to stick with this as an example.
I'm just disappointed that that little thing popped up down here and prevented

61
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:45,240
me from seeing the or showing you the entire price action that was delivered for
all this price movement in here. So hopefully you found this example insightful.

62
00:12:45,270 --> 00:12:47,640
Until next time, I wish you good luck and good trading.
