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.

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're going to 288 - 289 -73 290 -00:03:41,249 ~-~-> 00:03:43,319 291 -focus primarily on the open the high, 292 - 293 -74 294 -00:03:43,319 ~-~-> 00:03:45,989 295 -the low and the close. It doesn't feel 296 - 297 -75 298 -00:03:45,989 ~-~-> 00:03:47,369 299 -like that that's where you're going to 300 - 301 -76 302 -00:03:47,369 ~-~-> 00:03:50,579 303 -be heading. But eventually, you're going 304 - 305 -77 306 -00:03:50,579 ~-~-> 00:03:52,109 307 -to strip all the indicators off your 308 - 309 -78 310 -00:03:52,109 ~-~-> 00:03:53,819 311 -chart, Michael, and you're not even 312 - 313 -79 314 -00:03:53,819 ~-~-> 00:03:56,489 315 -going to consider any of it. It doesn't 316 - 317 -80 318 -00:03:56,489 ~-~-> 00:03:58,379 319 -make sense to you right now, but trust 320 - 321 -81 322 -00:03:58,379 ~-~-> 00:04:01,979 323 -me everything becomes clear by not 324 - 325 -82 326 -00:04:01,979 ~-~-> 00:04:04,169 327 -having anything on your charts. 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 344 - 345 -87 346 -00:04:15,809 ~-~-> 00:04:18,269 347 -like MACD, it's never going to appear on 348 - 349 -88 350 -00:04:18,269 ~-~-> 00:04:21,029 351 -your chart anymore. Michael. 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. It captures this retracement of 532 - 533 -134 534 -00:06:20,070 ~-~-> 00:06:24,060 535 -this candle right here is the 10th of 536 - 537 -135 538 -00:06:24,060 ~-~-> 00:06:27,450 539 -July 2020. Here's the 10th.
