This is 4 + 5 +2 6 +00:00:12,209 ~-~-> 00:00:14,249 7 +part three of a continuing series of 8 + 9 +3 10 +00:00:14,249 ~-~-> 00:00:16,979 11 +four videos. If I could go back and tell 12 + 13 +4 14 +00:00:16,979 ~-~-> 00:00:19,229 15 +myself what I know now, again, this is a 16 + 17 +5 18 +00:00:19,229 ~-~-> 00:00:20,729 19 +hypothetical conversation with my 20 + 21 +6 22 +00:00:20,729 ~-~-> 00:00:24,659 23 +younger self. Purely fiction. Just to 24 + 25 +7 26 +00:00:24,659 ~-~-> 00:00:27,029 27 +give you a perspective on if I tell 28 + 29 +8 30 +00:00:27,029 ~-~-> 00:00:29,669 31 +myself what to focus on, when I first 32 + 33 +9 34 +00:00:29,669 ~-~-> 00:00:33,989 35 +started, it would hopefully have avoided 36 + 37 +10 38 +00:00:34,019 ~-~-> 00:00:37,229 39 +majority of the painful lessons and 40 + 41 +11 42 +00:00:37,229 ~-~-> 00:00:45,629 43 +losses I had to incur How would I 44 + 45 +12 46 +00:00:45,629 ~-~-> 00:00:49,319 47 +practice? Where do you back test daily 48 + 49 +13 50 +00:00:49,319 ~-~-> 00:00:52,319 51 +setups? And I'll before I get into this, 52 + 53 +14 54 +00:00:52,499 ~-~-> 00:00:56,819 55 +this whole series is really linked to 56 + 57 +15 58 +00:00:56,819 ~-~-> 00:00:58,319 59 +the optimal trade entry pattern that 60 + 61 +16 62 +00:00:58,319 ~-~-> 00:00:59,999 63 +I've that I've made public on my YouTube 64 + 65 +17 66 +00:01:00,029 ~-~-> 00:01:04,019 67 +Channel, I've also included 20 videos of 68 + 69 +18 70 +00:01:04,019 ~-~-> 00:01:05,909 71 +daily setups. So that way kind of gives 72 + 73 +19 74 +00:01:05,909 ~-~-> 00:01:08,189 75 +you familiarity to what this pattern 76 + 77 +20 78 +00:01:08,189 ~-~-> 00:01:11,159 79 +looks like across a wide array of 80 + 81 +21 82 +00:01:11,159 ~-~-> 00:01:12,839 83 +different asset classes. But I'm 84 + 85 +22 86 +00:01:12,839 ~-~-> 00:01:15,989 87 +covering a simplistic approach to how 88 + 89 +23 90 +00:01:16,019 ~-~-> 00:01:19,289 91 +you should be practicing.

You 328 + 329 +83 330 +00:04:04,169 ~-~-> 00:04:06,029 331 +don't have to have any overlays of your 332 + 333 +84 334 +00:04:06,779 ~-~-> 00:04:09,299 335 +platform indicators you'd like 336 + 337 +85 338 +00:04:10,049 ~-~-> 00:04:12,869 339 +stochastic right now, it's not going to 340 + 341 +86 342 +00:04:12,869 ~-~-> 00:04:15,809 343 +ever appear on your chart anymore.

You want to 352 + 353 +89 354 +00:04:21,029 ~-~-> 00:04:24,239 355 +strip the chart down and focus on the 356 + 357 +90 358 +00:04:24,239 ~-~-> 00:04:26,429 359 +four price levels that is the most 360 + 361 +91 362 +00:04:26,429 ~-~-> 00:04:28,529 363 +paramount. It's the open the high, the 364 + 365 +92 366 +00:04:28,529 ~-~-> 00:04:30,839 367 +low and the close and looking at 368 + 369 +93 370 +00:04:30,839 ~-~-> 00:04:34,199 371 +different intervals. The previous day's 372 + 373 +94 374 +00:04:34,199 ~-~-> 00:04:36,089 375 +highs and lows, previous week's highs 376 + 377 +95 378 +00:04:36,089 ~-~-> 00:04:37,649 379 +and lows in previous months highs and 380 + 381 +96 382 +00:04:37,649 ~-~-> 00:04:41,669 383 +lows will offer a plethora of setups. It 384 + 385 +97 386 +00:04:41,669 ~-~-> 00:04:43,469 387 +doesn't feel like that makes sense to 388 + 389 +98 390 +00:04:43,469 ~-~-> 00:04:45,719 391 +you right now. But it will absolutely 392 + 393 +99 394 +00:04:45,719 ~-~-> 00:04:47,579 395 +unlock all of the understanding that 396 + 397 +100 398 +00:04:47,579 ~-~-> 00:04:49,889 399 +you'll need to carve out consistent 400 + 401 +101 402 +00:04:49,889 ~-~-> 00:04:52,769 403 +steady setups. So let's go into trading 404 + 405 +102 406 +00:04:52,769 ~-~-> 00:04:54,899 407 +view and look at how we can practice. 408 + 409 +103 410 +00:04:55,199 ~-~-> 00:04:57,179 411 +Alright, so here is the trading view 412 + 413 +104 414 +00:04:57,179 ~-~-> 00:05:00,539 415 +platform and I have the charts up With 416 + 417 +105 418 +00:05:00,569 ~-~-> 00:05:03,059 419 +the euro dollar currency pair, on the 420 + 421 +106 422 +00:05:03,059 ~-~-> 00:05:05,549 423 +left hand side, it is a 15 minute time 424 + 425 +107 426 +00:05:05,549 ~-~-> 00:05:07,409 427 +frame. And on the right hand side, it's 428 + 429 +108 430 +00:05:07,409 ~-~-> 00:05:10,739 431 +a daily chart. And the assumption is 432 + 433 +109 434 +00:05:11,010 ~-~-> 00:05:13,110 435 +that we're focusing on the optimal trade 436 + 437 +110 438 +00:05:13,110 ~-~-> 00:05:15,570 439 +entry on a higher time frame until it 440 + 441 +111 442 +00:05:15,570 ~-~-> 00:05:20,070 443 +delivers to a key level. I'm going to 444 + 445 +112 446 +00:05:20,070 ~-~-> 00:05:21,450 447 +show you right now what that would look 448 + 449 +113 450 +00:05:21,450 ~-~-> 00:05:24,330 451 +like. Here we have a high that would be 452 + 453 +114 454 +00:05:24,330 ~-~-> 00:05:28,110 455 +targeted. In here, as the price was 456 + 457 +115 458 +00:05:28,110 ~-~-> 00:05:30,510 459 +rallying up, we can see before we got to 460 + 461 +116 462 +00:05:30,510 ~-~-> 00:05:34,920 463 +this high back testing these types of 464 + 465 +117 466 +00:05:34,980 ~-~-> 00:05:38,250 467 +setups is what you'd be doing. We're 468 + 469 +118 470 +00:05:38,250 ~-~-> 00:05:44,070 471 +going to show a Fibonacci on this swing 472 + 473 +119 474 +00:05:44,070 ~-~-> 00:05:47,340 475 +low. With this candles higher low and 476 + 477 +120 478 +00:05:47,340 ~-~-> 00:05:49,170 479 +this candles higher low, surrounding 480 + 481 +121 482 +00:05:49,170 ~-~-> 00:05:50,550 483 +this one particular candle. That's why 484 + 485 +122 486 +00:05:50,550 ~-~-> 00:05:53,520 487 +I'm anchoring it to that. I'm dragging 488 + 489 +123 490 +00:05:53,520 ~-~-> 00:05:55,470 491 +it all the way up to this candle is 492 + 493 +124 494 +00:05:55,470 ~-~-> 00:05:58,110 495 +high, because it's as it's making higher 496 + 497 +125 498 +00:05:58,110 ~-~-> 00:06:00,660 499 +highs. I'm going to overlay the fib On 500 + 501 +126 502 +00:06:00,660 ~-~-> 00:06:04,080 503 +every successive higher high, because 504 + 505 +127 506 +00:06:04,080 ~-~-> 00:06:05,460 507 +that's going to be the range in which 508 + 509 +128 510 +00:06:05,730 ~-~-> 00:06:07,920 511 +any retracement comes it'll be within 512 + 513 +129 514 +00:06:07,920 ~-~-> 00:06:10,350 515 +that range. And it'll be apparent when 516 + 517 +130 518 +00:06:10,350 ~-~-> 00:06:13,740 519 +you see it here. So we draw this up. So 520 + 521 +131 522 +00:06:13,740 ~-~-> 00:06:15,570 523 +that Okay, so you can see the Fibonacci 524 + 525 +132 526 +00:06:15,570 ~-~-> 00:06:17,580 527 +that's anchored from this low up to this 528 + 529 +133 530 +00:06:17,580 ~-~-> 00:06:20,070 531 +high.
