00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:30,600
ICT: Alright, folks, it's non farm payroll Friday, not for professionals. So I
have my full screen shown here. So you guys can see the time and all that
2
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:45,510
business. Here's that same demo account that I said to keep track of that number
for savings isn't going to change. The market looks like it may want to drive
3
00:00:45,810 --> 00:01:03,180
under this low here. But not before coming up in here. I like this order block
right here. So I thinking that price will want to hit that.
4
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:22,440
Maybe hit that and then come down and take the stops here. So the idea is use
non farm payroll to rally at first thinking it's gonna break out higher, and
5
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,290
then sync it down and take the stops at 3520.
6
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,180
Okay, and we're about to do that now.
7
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:59,490
similar words, this is going to be a short, or run down here for about 50 pips
or so. Now, I would never take this trade with live money, because it's not on
8
00:01:59,490 --> 00:02:10,170
payroll numbers and anything can happen. Worst case scenario it could whip
through. Now, if this was a non payroll, I'm sorry, I'm not even no words. If it
9
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:23,520
wasn't non farm payroll analyses using this example here, I would look for sell
here and use a 30 PIP stop to it would be well above here. But I think the draw
10
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,560
is going to be on the low.
11
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:55,020
Here's your run. Here's your order block. Again, it would be above your stock
will be above this high. Here's your old high back here on the daily.
12
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:38,070
So 3599. That's where the stock would be 30 pips above from that level here.
We've already punched through these highs. And we'll see if there's any give
13
00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:49,500
back to make a run for the liquidity risk falling below the low on euro. See
we're approaching it equal high, and we'll probably see it trade back down, make
14
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:55,770
it lower low on the day. And we watching for that 2020 level. What's the
downside objective
15
00:04:02,850 --> 00:04:16,440
given the nature of non farm payroll is to run, take out the side that's easiest
to knock off. In other words, we've seen market making lower moves today. So
16
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:27,690
there obviously are people short. So there's two ways of using that information.
If it were not a non farm payroll Friday, the run back up here to get to this
17
00:04:27,690 --> 00:04:42,270
bearish order block go short there or run the buy stops on those individuals
that are short. They don't need to go very high above this high to run their
18
00:04:42,270 --> 00:04:51,300
stops. And then reject and go lower and reach for 35 2035 big figure and maybe
even down to 3495
19
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:04,170
Never concern myself with the actual numbers because the numbers themselves are
already factored in. They're actually old data, it is making it public. And they
20
00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:08,070
use those numbers as a smokescreen to run out liquidity.
21
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:25,650
Notice the unwillingness to go above 35 at of any significance.
22
00:07:51,990 --> 00:08:02,070
So they had high initially on day three got to midnight, New York time, failing
to get to 35 at institutional level at levels, a good nice number for
23
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:11,070
institutions and power orders in and around, they sold off, they come all the
way back up now this to hit the 35 at level now, which also effectively takes
24
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:25,410
out to buy stuff on any holders that were short. So the idea is that cables been
going up for a while. And anyone that has been profitable shorting this morning,
25
00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:33,570
they are not allowed to be profitable. So non farm payrolls used to upset those
orders. And they take those individuals out
26
00:08:53,910 --> 00:09:08,640
few minutes past the release of non farm. Now, if it were a non event, like it
was non farm payroll, not included in today's calendar, I would be short right
27
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:15,420
now. I wish I would be short at this moment where we're at here.
28
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:36,060
So that would be my short. I'm not wasting my demo because I want to keep it
clean with actual demo executions, but I'm just giving you a pay per trade idea.
29
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:39,210
So I'm demoing on a demo.
30
00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:56,880
But you guys see that same account the account history. I've been doing trades
recently. So it's been a few days since it's been done but that's where I'm at,
31
00:09:57,450 --> 00:10:12,240
to go back and look at my other screenshots and recordings, you'll see that that
balance matches, nothing's changed. And that's a dual accountability folks.
32
00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:19,950
Nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to be fearful of, unless you're losing. And
people don't want to see that.
33
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:41,970
I'm typically on the sidelines till the third Tuesday. So I was waiting for the
first two weeks of trade through on every year in January. And then I pick up my
34
00:10:41,970 --> 00:10:52,770
actual interest in actual entries and such on the third Tuesday of every
January, and then I go light, like a very, very light on leverage. And I just go
35
00:10:52,770 --> 00:10:54,150
very, very slow.
36
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:10,950
I go very, very slow, with the amount of leverage until I get into February. And
once I get into February, then I start working towards a normalized amount of
37
00:11:10,950 --> 00:11:19,050
leverage. And by the fifth of February, I should be in the thick of things.
38
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:47,400
Again, note the unwillingness to want to go above 3580. We just went above these
initial daily highs. And the theme is, markets been going higher, or cable, we
39
00:11:47,400 --> 00:12:00,720
priced in a little bit of a rally in here, built a premium in on price and they
sank it going into London, they ran it up, took the stops out about the initial
40
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:11,640
high of the day. And I would be looking for this thing to start working its way
lower. Now because it's Friday, we could see a rather lackluster event as well,
41
00:12:12,180 --> 00:12:20,460
you could just go right back to the middle of the range. And this is how you do
that. Okay, assuming that this high is the high of the day, this is something
42
00:12:20,460 --> 00:12:32,250
you do over the day. So equilibrium is right around here. So we could
consolidate between 3555 and 3550. If it doesn't drop, I just don't see it going
43
00:12:32,250 --> 00:12:34,740
higher and making higher highs of any significance.
44
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:19,080
I'm not sure I can't recall if I mentioned that or not. But I mentioned that I
would I would be selling shorts. It was not nonfarm payroll Friday, at this
45
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:30,060
level here, and I would simply use a 20 PIP stop. By because 20 pips above this
high, I'm already above that. So I don't think that 20 pips is going to be
46
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:40,110
necessary. They ran it right to that level, right on the heels of the release of
the non farm payroll numbers. So I'd only be looking for a move lower. So if it
47
00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:51,450
was not a run on those by stops, yet, then I would use like a 30 PIP stop loss.
But because we've already essentially taken out device stops above that high. I
48
00:13:51,450 --> 00:13:55,320
can just go 20 pips above my entry, which would be hypothetically here.
49
00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:14,400
And some of you, you're probably wondering, well, if it goes down here and hits
that 3520 level, why didn't you take the trade? It would be in you know, in your
50
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:22,920
account history, because it's not a day that I actually trade. And I'm
practicing what I preach. I try to tell people don't even practice in your demo
51
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:32,190
one, and certainly don't want to trade with live funds, or non farm payrolls
Friday, because the casino ride, it's a carnival ride. It's it's absolutely.
52
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:43,050
It's sometimes very volatile. And you might know what side of the marketplace it
wants to run for, but doesn't necessarily mean it's going to go the opposite
53
00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:55,290
direction right away either. So it can be really problematic for someone that
wants to know, a direction. The theme of this particular event is take the stops
54
00:14:55,860 --> 00:15:04,350
both sides of the marketplace if it's if it can be done. They'll take both
sides. But I view non farm payroll as a means of upsetting the ones that are
55
00:15:04,350 --> 00:15:14,580
going to stand to make the most money, post non farm payroll words, think of it
as a Judas swing.
56
00:15:30,090 --> 00:15:57,390
Now this portion of the video, I'm going to let it record, but it's going to be
sped up sounds, we'll make a note of that video speed increased now. So that way
57
00:15:57,510 --> 00:16:12,240
you guys know that what I'm doing is not any audio, I'm not talking right now I
can't fill in the gaps later on. Okay, so once I stopped talking, it'll just be
58
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:21,060
recording the price action and then I'll come back when I take this off, then
it'll be real time and then we'll assess what's already happened. But I think
59
00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:22,440
ultimately, it's going to go down below
60
00:16:23,160 --> 00:17:56,520
here. Okay, so I would be taking my stop down to plus five
61
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,370
in taking partial profits here. This is going to act as my stop.
62
00:18:14,130 --> 00:18:30,060
Now I'd be banking 75% 80% of the position and leaving the rest on the see if I
can get this stop around here to this was my hypothetical entry, but the high
63
00:18:31,770 --> 00:18:44,760
order block retreated back to that. And now we've seen some acceleration on the
downside, we do have a little bit of a water block in here, cable reach
64
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:56,130
equilibrium, which is what I measured earlier. So that's what I'm saying I would
take that 75 80% off in this area here. That would be banked about 30 pips or so
65
00:18:57,300 --> 00:19:19,560
and a stop at plus five. So allow me to have a chance see if any further erosion
on price to get to that low. ideal scenario is for it to run to it before
66
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:30,240
10am 10:30am New York time. The longer it waits and lags, the less likely it
will do that and will probably just stay right in the middle of the range for
67
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:37,290
the rest of the day. So I'll go back into speeding the video up now.
68
00:21:40,019 --> 00:21:49,499
Alright folks, as you can see it's 11 o'clock in the morning, New York time. So
I would be killing the trade here. Any open profits on my demo position would be
69
00:21:49,919 --> 00:22:00,329
taken and any open position will be closed so there won't be any more likelihood
for downside movement. And I'll just let you guys pan out the rest of the day
70
00:22:00,329 --> 00:22:04,649
and see what has transpired but I will be out based on London close time
parameters.
