This is 1 +(% class="hover min" %) 2 +|1 |00:00:10,559 ~-~-> 00:00:19,169 |ICT: Okay, folks, welcome back. This is part three of a continuing series of four videos, if I could go back and tell myself what I knew Now, again, this is 3 +|2 |00:00:19,169 ~-~-> 00:00:31,619 |a hypothetical conversation with my younger self. Purely fiction. Just to give you a perspective on if I tell myself what to focus on, when I first started, he 4 +|3 |00:00:31,619 ~-~-> 00:00:38,639 |would hopefully have avoided majority of the painful lessons and losses that I had to incur. 5 +|4 |00:00:45,150 ~-~-> 00:00:58,200 |How would I practice? Where do you back test daily setups? Now, before I get into this, this whole series is really linked to the optimal trade entry pattern 6 +|5 |00:00:58,200 ~-~-> 00:01:07,860 |that I've that I've made public on my YouTube channel. I've also included 20 videos of daily setups, so that we kind of give you familiarity to what this 7 +|6 |00:01:07,860 ~-~-> 00:01:19,290 |pattern looks like across a wide array of different asset classes. But I'm covering a simplistic approach to how you should be practicing. First and 8 +|7 |00:01:19,290 ~-~-> 00:01:31,020 |foremost, everyone knows, broker demo platforms. Okay. So whenever you open up an account with a broker, generally they offer you a trial version of their 9 +|8 |00:01:31,020 ~-~-> 00:01:40,800 |platform. So you can test your strategies or whatever it is that you're utilizing for your framework for your setups. You can test drive it on a demo 10 +|9 |00:01:40,800 ~-~-> 00:01:54,120 |account. forex has the ability to offer demo accounts that for some brokers don't expire. And it's not a big deal. If it does expire, he just started 11 +|10 |00:01:54,120 ~-~-> 00:02:05,430 |another one. But you don't want to treat the demo account like Monopoly money, you want to sit down with it and say, Okay, how much of this hypothetical 12 +|11 |00:02:05,730 ~-~-> 00:02:17,850 |pretend money would I be utilizing, if I was trading, it wouldn't have been $50,000. To start with. And working with a demo with a sober mind about what 13 +|12 |00:02:17,850 ~-~-> 00:02:29,430 |you're doing, and building good habits and removing the opportunity to fall into bad habits. That means overtrading, looking for setups, even after you've made a 14 +|13 |00:02:29,460 ~-~-> 00:02:38,400 |correct decision in the market shows you that you would have been profitable, it's not an invitation to go right back in the same day, to try to get something 15 +|14 |00:02:38,400 ~-~-> 00:02:48,900 |else because it felt good. You're going to fall victim to that early on. So to avoid all that, don't have it in your mindset, you have to take a lot of trades 16 +|15 |00:02:48,900 ~-~-> 00:02:59,490 |every single day, you're gonna lose a lot of money, you don't know it yet, but you're gonna lose a lot of money trying to do that. And third party apps like 17 +|16 |00:02:59,580 ~-~-> 00:03:13,260 |forex tester, you can go to forex tester COMM And they have a medium where you can go back and back test strategies and such. And finally, tradingview.com 18 +|17 |00:03:13,290 ~-~-> 00:03:25,770 |today, which doesn't exist at the time of you coming up now, Michael, the tradingview.com website offers pretty much everything that was available when 19 +|18 |00:03:26,250 ~-~-> 00:03:41,040 |you started, meta stock, super charts TradeStation. All those things, and bells and whistles that you're liking right now aren't really that important. You're 20 +|19 |00:03:41,040 ~-~-> 00:03:50,460 |going to focus primarily on the open the high, the low and the close. It doesn't feel like that that's where you're going to be heading. But eventually, you're 21 +|20 |00:03:50,460 ~-~-> 00:03:58,410 |going to strip all the indicators off your chart, Michael. And you're not even going to consider any of that. It doesn't make sense to you right now. But trust 22 +|21 |00:03:58,410 ~-~-> 00:04:11,370 |me, everything becomes clear by not having anything on your charts. You're not have any overlays of your platform indicators you like stochastic right now. 23 +|22 |00:04:12,300 ~-~-> 00:04:21,960 |It's not going to ever appear on your chart anymore. You like MACD, it's never gonna appear on your chart anymore. Michael. You want to strip the chart down 24 +|23 |00:04:21,990 ~-~-> 00:04:33,960 |and focus on the four price levels that is the most paramount. It's the open the high, the low and the close. And looking at different intervals. The previous 25 +|24 |00:04:33,960 ~-~-> 00:04:43,380 |day's highs and lows, previous week's highs and lows and previous months highs and lows will offer a plethora of setups. He doesn't feel like that makes sense 26 +|25 |00:04:43,380 ~-~-> 00:04:53,040 |to you right now. But it will absolutely unlock all of the understanding that you'll need to carve out consistent steady setups. So let's go into trading view 27 +|26 |00:04:53,610 ~-~-> 00:05:03,480 |and look at how we can practice. Alright, so here is the trading view platform and I have the charts. With the euro dollar currency pair, on the left hand 28 +|27 |00:05:03,480 ~-~-> 00:05:13,560 |side, it is a 15 minute time frame. And on the right hand side, it's a daily chart. And the assumption is that we're focusing on the optimal trade entry on a 29 +|28 |00:05:13,560 ~-~-> 00:05:26,520 |higher time frame until it delivers to a key level. I'm going to show you right now what that would look like. Here we have a high that would be targeted. In 30 +|29 |00:05:26,520 ~-~-> 00:05:40,680 |here, as the price was rallying up, we can see before we got to this high back testing these types of setups is what you'd be doing. We're going to show a 31 +|30 |00:05:40,680 ~-~-> 00:05:41,460 |Fibonacci 32 +|31 |00:05:43,350 ~-~-> 00:05:52,950 |on this swing low. With this candles higher low in this candles higher low, surrounding this one particular candle. That's why I'm anchoring it to that. And 33 +|32 |00:05:52,950 ~-~-> 00:06:03,330 |I'm dragging it all the way up to this candles high. Because it's as it's making higher highs, I'm going to overlay the fib on every successive higher high, 34 +|33 |00:06:03,690 ~-~-> 00:06:12,330 |because that's going to be the range in which any retracement comes, it'll be within that range. And it'll be apparent when you see it here. So we draw this 35 +|34 |00:06:12,330 ~-~-> 00:06:23,220 |up for that. Okay, so you can see the Fibonacci that's anchored from this low up to this high. It captures this retracement of this candle right here is the 10th 36 +|35 |00:06:23,700 ~-~-> 00:06:32,520 |of July 2020. Here's the 10th on the 15 minute time frame, you can see how the 15 minute time frame drops down into the optimal trade entry. Which is the six 37 +|36 |00:06:32,520 ~-~-> 00:06:42,900 |to seven times adjacent level and 70.5. Sweet Spot. This level is going to be one of the levels you're gonna like a lot but you'll save yourself a lot of 38 +|37 |00:06:42,900 ~-~-> 00:06:52,890 |frustration if you just use the 62% retracement level Michael. Most of the trades that you're hunting in these next couple years are going to be unwilling 39 +|38 |00:06:52,890 ~-~-> 00:07:02,580 |to trade to the 70.5 or even 79% retracement level, but he would just simply use the 62% retracement level and defer the insatiable desire for you to find the 40 +|39 |00:07:02,580 ~-~-> 00:07:13,620 |perfect entry all the time. Later on in your 40s you're going to feel real comfortable with not having the absolute best entry and the absolute best exit. 41 +|40 |00:07:14,040 ~-~-> 00:07:24,510 |There's lots and lots of opportunities in between. So 60% retracement level one here is ideal. And we actually see a key reaction off of that 62% retracement 42 +|41 |00:07:24,510 ~-~-> 00:07:38,220 |level, price starts to move higher. Now, your focus is to imagine every daily candle moving higher, open, near the low of the day, close near the high the 43 +|42 |00:07:38,220 ~-~-> 00:07:51,150 |day, up close is the mode of delivery. And we're expecting until we get to this high. So when we get up to it and through it. Okay, remember that slogan to it, 44 +|43 |00:07:51,570 ~-~-> 00:08:03,720 |and through it to it. And through it. That's how you're going to find the easiest bread and butter setups there is in every market asset class. The idea 45 +|44 |00:08:03,720 ~-~-> 00:08:13,830 |is the framework is this optimal trade entry is going to keep delivering until we get to this high and slightly above it. Here is one half a standard deviation 46 +|45 |00:08:13,890 ~-~-> 00:08:28,290 |and it's calling for 114 46 and two pipettes. Okay, the actual high of this price when as of the time of this discussion, the high comes in at 114 52. And 47 +|46 |00:08:28,290 ~-~-> 00:08:37,500 |one bit bit, so it goes a little bit above it. But that's a good idea as a target, if not just simply at the old high. Now we're going to take our 48 +|47 |00:08:37,500 ~-~-> 00:08:46,320 |concentration away from the daily chart, because we can clearly see with the benefit of hindsight here that we had a series of up close candles. And each day 49 +|48 |00:08:46,350 ~-~-> 00:08:55,890 |you'd be hunting a New York setup. Now this is going to be the easiest framework, Michael, if you just submit to it early on, stop trying to find 50 +|49 |00:08:55,890 ~-~-> 00:09:05,220 |trades outside of this timeframe. focus in here, and you're going to find everything that you would ever need. So all of our attention is going to go over 51 +|50 |00:09:05,220 ~-~-> 00:09:16,380 |to this chart here. Scrubbing forward a little bit, you can see the daily dividers. And what you're going to do is you're going to take a line segment and 52 +|51 |00:09:16,380 ~-~-> 00:09:27,060 |you use the rectangle if you want. And you're going to delineate on the chart each day 830 to 11 o'clock in the morning New York time. So when you've studied 53 +|52 |00:09:27,060 ~-~-> 00:09:35,850 |this time, you're going to be able to see a retracement lower, because remember the framework is every day the daily candles are going to go higher. That is 54 +|53 |00:09:35,850 ~-~-> 00:09:48,900 |what you'll litter dope as the power three. This high is going to be attacked, but each day is going to be accumulation manipulation and distribution. The 55 +|54 |00:09:48,900 ~-~-> 00:09:57,570 |accumulation is going to be near the low of the day there are killing long positions. You're going to see that movement up going into New York, New York 56 +|55 |00:09:57,570 ~-~-> 00:10:07,830 |session is 830 to 11 o'clock. And as the market retraces lower in there, inside that consolidation and retracement, you're going to find a five minute optimal 57 +|56 |00:10:07,830 ~-~-> 00:10:18,960 |trade entry. That means a low swing high down in that doesn't take out the previous swing low trades to the 62% retracement level, your stop would be below 58 +|57 |00:10:19,560 ~-~-> 00:10:32,310 |the low that creates the optimal trade entry. You would go long at 62 plus spread and reach for previous day's high or a combination of that and the 59 +|58 |00:10:32,310 ~-~-> 00:10:35,190 |standard deviations on the Fibonacci. That being 60 +|59 |00:10:37,710 ~-~-> 00:10:48,120 |like this is one standard deviation. This is one half a standard deviation, and so on. So each day you can start to see and back test how many pips that using 61 +|60 |00:10:48,120 ~-~-> 00:10:56,970 |the 62% retracement level would give you plus the spread for your entry that you would have risked to get that trade on and how many pips it delivered, how long 62 +|61 |00:10:57,270 ~-~-> 00:11:11,550 |the trade took from entry to delivery to your target. How much of a drawdown did each setup take? You want to consider that because if you have a large sample 63 +|62 |00:11:11,550 ~-~-> 00:11:20,220 |set of data, not every trade is going to start and turn right at the 62% retracement level, you might have to incur some drawdown. And don't make a big 64 +|63 |00:11:20,220 ~-~-> 00:11:29,460 |deal of it, Michael, because you're going to have a lot of trades. And they're not always going to be reacting as soon as you get in many times. The fact that 65 +|64 |00:11:29,460 ~-~-> 00:11:38,640 |they don't react right away is indicative of you being of you being offside, and it's probably better for you to just kill the trade altogether. But that's 66 +|65 |00:11:38,640 ~-~-> 00:11:51,930 |another lesson all the time. The next day, again, 830 to 11, you're going to look for the price structure, that one then creates a run and then a retracement 67 +|66 |00:11:51,960 ~-~-> 00:12:03,030 |down into between 830 and 11. There's your optimal trade entry. And when you see that, again, six to a certain tracing level, aiming for a previous day's high 68 +|67 |00:12:03,210 ~-~-> 00:12:13,380 |previous day's highs here. So you're gonna aim for a run through that and then add your standard deviations on your Fibonacci tool for targets. same premise. 69 +|68 |00:12:14,100 ~-~-> 00:12:22,680 |How long did it take you to get to profitability and cover the dealer spread? How many pips Did you incur in drawdown? How much time did it take to get to 70 +|69 |00:12:22,680 ~-~-> 00:12:39,480 |target all of that is building up a sample set of backlogs. This backlog is what you go back through and study for a hindsight derived experience. And by doing 71 +|70 |00:12:39,480 ~-~-> 00:12:51,240 |this, it will program your expectations to not perfect, but it will also show like we're showing here an instance where an optimal trade entry doesn't really 72 +|71 |00:12:51,240 ~-~-> 00:13:01,260 |necessarily form. Even if you use this one and down in getting in long. Your stop below this would have been tagged so you would have a loss. So how much 73 +|72 |00:13:01,260 ~-~-> 00:13:10,110 |time did you take? Before getting stopped out? How many pips did it move against you from your initial entry and how it traded for the day. All of these ideas, 74 +|73 |00:13:10,500 ~-~-> 00:13:20,790 |give you again, perspective, if you would have held on to this trade, and didn't use a stop loss, or kept moving your stop loss down as you will have done 75 +|74 |00:13:21,600 ~-~-> 00:13:27,810 |because you've made those mistakes early on already. And you're going to make those mistakes for another year and a half, because you're gonna wrestle with 76 +|75 |00:13:27,810 ~-~-> 00:13:38,130 |the idea of being right. It's not about being right, Michael, it's about being consistent and flexible. When you can see the signals that are indicating you're 77 +|76 |00:13:38,130 ~-~-> 00:13:47,760 |wrong or offside. You have to kill it. Don't arm wrestle it, there's so many opportunities. If you try to blow your account on one particular trading day, 78 +|77 |00:13:47,760 ~-~-> 00:13:56,400 |because you can't accept the fact that you were wrong. You can't accept that you're human, then you're going to struggle more than you have to. And that's 79 +|78 |00:13:56,400 ~-~-> 00:14:06,810 |why I'm talking to you right now. I don't want you to go through all that. Because at 47 turning 48 soon, these problems that you're going to encounter, if 80 +|79 |00:14:06,810 ~-~-> 00:14:21,180 |you don't listen to me, are still going to be painful to relive or remember how much information do you use from this bad example? In terms of profitability, 81 +|80 |00:14:21,180 ~-~-> 00:14:30,450 |but good example for learning. You don't want to torture yourself and say, Well, I was stupid because it was really, really screaming against me or I should have 82 +|81 |00:14:30,450 ~-~-> 00:14:38,760 |saw these multiple attempts to go higher in and break down. I just picked a really bad trade and I was foolish for doing it. Don't do those types of things. 83 +|82 |00:14:38,760 ~-~-> 00:14:48,810 |Michael, don't fill your journal up. with toxic thinking. You're going to fill up the first three years of journals with a lot of things that are going to be 84 +|83 |00:14:50,400 ~-~-> 00:14:58,440 |linked to your subconscious. And you're going to look at the markets and you can remember and this looks like that time I lost X amount of money and didn't use a 85 +|84 |00:14:58,440 ~-~-> 00:15:06,990 |stop or didn't Get out when I should have gotten out and you're reliving all those painful moments that you journaled. You're going to use your journal to 86 +|85 |00:15:06,990 ~-~-> 00:15:13,920 |have positive, constructive, not negative criticism, but positive criticisms, it's 87 +|86 |00:15:15,330 ~-~-> 00:15:25,740 |important for you to frame your annotations in your journal in such a way that there's no emotions whatsoever. None. But you still want to pull out the 88 +|87 |00:15:25,740 ~-~-> 00:15:35,370 |information that's salient to the lesson. Because when you're wrong, you need to study what led to you being wrong. So that way, eventually, you're going to key 89 +|88 |00:15:35,370 ~-~-> 00:15:43,350 |up on the things that you're doing that are problematic, and you're falling victim to over and over again. But until you study them with a sober mind, and 90 +|89 |00:15:43,350 ~-~-> 00:15:49,980 |objectively, you're going to keep falling victim to it, and you're not gonna understand why it's happening. Not only will you lose a lot of money, but you're 91 +|90 |00:15:49,980 ~-~-> 00:16:02,100 |going to have a lot of frustration that's completely avoidable if you just do that this gave you right now. The next day, same thing we're not looking for 92 +|91 |00:16:03,150 ~-~-> 00:16:12,480 |every single day to be a winner, we're expecting it's going to be a trade there may not pan out. But we're staying with the same narrative we're looking for 93 +|92 |00:16:12,570 ~-~-> 00:16:24,240 |this day, here's a 16th. And that is on the daily, right here, that's this day here. Now that's a down closed candle. When you see this, okay, you're gonna see 94 +|93 |00:16:24,240 ~-~-> 00:16:33,840 |this high, and the next candle has a lower high, that swing high is gonna make you think early on that it's creating a top and there's no more buy signals to 95 +|94 |00:16:33,840 ~-~-> 00:16:42,240 |take. Don't believe that. Just because it's making a swing high doesn't mean it's not going to likely give you another buying opportunity. Even on that 96 +|95 |00:16:42,240 ~-~-> 00:16:50,670 |particular day. It gives us an optimal trade entry here. And you want to study again, 62% retracement level, how much time did it take to cover the dealing 97 +|96 |00:16:50,670 ~-~-> 00:16:59,760 |spread and move the target? How many pips did it offer. And even though it didn't get to the previous day's high, by taking out scaled profits, you don't 98 +|97 |00:16:59,760 ~-~-> 00:17:09,750 |have to be right about the next trade running to the previous day's high when you're bullish. Short term highs in here as it runs up, you want to take profits 99 +|98 |00:17:09,780 ~-~-> 00:17:18,000 |off there. And when you back test and practice, you would be doing the same thing. Assuming that if you were in a trade, you would take something off here. 100 +|99 |00:17:18,180 ~-~-> 00:17:25,890 |And you'll take something off here. And as it goes up into this area here. You may have been expecting it to trade above here. But in this case, it turns 101 +|100 |00:17:25,890 ~-~-> 00:17:37,800 |around. How much time did you stay in the trade? While I was drop dropping down here? How long would you expect to hold on to that trade before you realize that 102 +|101 |00:17:37,800 ~-~-> 00:17:48,600 |you were wrong? and be honest about it. Because what you pour into your back testing and practicing. While it's hindsight, if you are not honest with 103 +|102 |00:17:48,600 ~-~-> 00:17:59,430 |yourself, if you put in poor expectations, you're going to get ridiculously backwards results, you're going to expect certain things that aren't realistic 104 +|103 |00:17:59,430 ~-~-> 00:18:10,080 |to see in terms of outcome. And you're going to be at the mercy of your emotions. And you're going to be pulled around by a psychological tug of war 105 +|104 |00:18:10,290 ~-~-> 00:18:18,780 |about being right or wrong if you don't do these things. The next day, even though we had a losing day here in this trade while it was profitable, it didn't 106 +|105 |00:18:18,780 ~-~-> 00:18:29,340 |deliver to the previous day's high. It's fine. You stick with the narrative. Next trading day. Here it is 830 to 11 optimal trade entry it's dropping down. 107 +|106 |00:18:29,490 ~-~-> 00:18:38,250 |And it gives us two opportunities. It drops into it here and it gives us another one here and then takes out the previous day's high here. So we have now 108 +|107 |00:18:38,250 ~-~-> 00:18:49,140 |delivered a setup that takes out the previous day's high. And this is Friday, so you can't trade the next day. It's a Saturday. But how many pips did it take 109 +|108 |00:18:49,590 ~-~-> 00:19:00,810 |from entry to scaling at your previous day's high? How many pips was that? How much time did it take? How many pips did you have in drawdown? All of those 110 +|109 |00:19:00,810 ~-~-> 00:19:11,370 |ideas, you build a backlog of and then on the weekends, you want to study how each one of these work together to complement one another. In other words, how 111 +|110 |00:19:11,370 ~-~-> 00:19:21,630 |did the previous day's trading setup the situation he saw on the next day and look at it from a hourly perspective, a daily perspective. And you'll help you 112 +|111 |00:19:21,630 ~-~-> 00:19:33,540 |frame out the institutional order flow that you'll become known for in the Forex division. So in this case, following this criteria, and practicing every single 113 +|112 |00:19:33,540 ~-~-> 00:19:40,950 |day, just keeping a backlog of it. You're going to not only train yourself to see the setup, but you're going to grow in your understanding about how the 114 +|113 |00:19:40,950 ~-~-> 00:19:51,690 |characteristics repeat over and over and over again and staying with just one currency. But framing all the ideas on a higher time frame basis. That leads to 115 +|114 |00:19:51,720 ~-~-> 00:20:03,120 |high consistency without having to need perfection. So hope you found this one insightful, I will be back again Next week with the final portion of the series, 116 +|115 |00:20:03,450 ~-~-> 00:20:08,370 |how to transition into practice into live funds. Until then, I wish good luck and good trading. 4 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.

That means overtrading 184 - 185 -47 186 -00:02:26,969 ~-~-> 00:02:28,739 187 -looking for setups even after you've 188 - 189 -48 190 -00:02:28,739 ~-~-> 00:02:31,109 191 -made a correct decision, and the market 192 - 193 -49 194 -00:02:31,109 ~-~-> 00:02:33,119 195 -shows you that you would have been 196 - 197 -50 198 -00:02:33,119 ~-~-> 00:02:35,639 199 -profitable.

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 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. On the 15 540 - 541 -136 542 -00:06:27,450 ~-~-> 00:06:28,500 543 -minute time frame, you can see how the 544 - 545 -137 546 -00:06:28,500 ~-~-> 00:06:29,880 547 -15 minute time frame drops down into the 548 - 549 -138 550 -00:06:29,880 ~-~-> 00:06:32,940 551 -optimal trade entry. Which is the 60 to 552 - 553 -139 554 -00:06:33,270 ~-~-> 00:06:36,390 555 -70 retracement level and 70.5 sweetspot. 556 - 557 -140 558 -00:06:37,560 ~-~-> 00:06:39,750 559 -This level is going to be one of the 560 - 561 -141 562 -00:06:39,750 ~-~-> 00:06:41,730 563 -levels you're going to like a lot but 564 - 565 -142 566 -00:06:41,730 ~-~-> 00:06:42,870 567 -you'll save yourself a lot of 568 - 569 -143 570 -00:06:42,870 ~-~-> 00:06:44,970 571 -frustration if you just use the 62% 572 - 573 -144 574 -00:06:44,970 ~-~-> 00:06:47,160 575 -retracement level Michael.

There's lots and lots of 620 - 621 -156 622 -00:07:15,360 ~-~-> 00:07:18,690 623 -opportunity in between. So 62% 624 - 625 -157 626 -00:07:18,690 ~-~-> 00:07:20,940 627 -retracement level on here is ideal and 628 - 629 -158 630 -00:07:20,940 ~-~-> 00:07:23,250 631 -we can actually see a key reaction off 632 - 633 -159 634 -00:07:23,250 ~-~-> 00:07:26,340 635 -of that 62% retracement level price 636 - 637 -160 638 -00:07:26,340 ~-~-> 00:07:29,100 639 -starts to move higher. Now, your focus 640 - 641 -161 642 -00:07:29,280 ~-~-> 00:07:33,030 643 -is to imagine every daily candle moving 644 - 645 -162 646 -00:07:33,030 ~-~-> 00:07:37,140 647 -higher. Open, near the low of the day, 648 - 649 -163 650 -00:07:37,230 ~-~-> 00:07:39,780 651 -close near the high the day. Up close is 652 - 653 -164 654 -00:07:39,780 ~-~-> 00:07:43,170 655 -the mode of delivery. We're expecting 656 - 657 -165 658 -00:07:43,230 ~-~-> 00:07:46,770 659 -until we get to this high. So when we 660 - 661 -166 662 -00:07:46,770 ~-~-> 00:07:48,960 663 -get up to it and through it. Okay, 664 - 665 -167 666 -00:07:48,960 ~-~-> 00:07:52,170 667 -remember that slogan to it and through 668 - 669 -168 670 -00:07:52,170 ~-~-> 00:07:56,760 671 -it to it and through it. That's how 672 - 673 -169 674 -00:07:56,760 ~-~-> 00:07:58,860 675 -you're going to find the easiest bread 676 - 677 -170 678 -00:07:58,860 ~-~-> 00:08:00,600 679 -and butter setups. There is In every 680 - 681 -171 682 -00:08:00,600 ~-~-> 00:08:04,050 683 -market asset class, the idea is the 684 - 685 -172 686 -00:08:04,050 ~-~-> 00:08:06,660 687 -framework is this optimal trade entry is 688 - 689 -173 690 -00:08:06,660 ~-~-> 00:08:08,880 691 -going to keep delivering until we get to 692 - 693 -174 694 -00:08:08,880 ~-~-> 00:08:12,030 695 -this high and slightly above it. Here is 696 - 697 -175 698 -00:08:12,390 ~-~-> 00:08:14,130 699 -one half a standard deviation, and it's 700 - 701 -176 702 -00:08:14,130 ~-~-> 00:08:18,180 703 -calling for 114 46 and two puppets. 704 - 705 -177 706 -00:08:18,870 ~-~-> 00:08:21,480 707 -Okay? The actual high of this price 708 - 709 -178 710 -00:08:21,480 ~-~-> 00:08:23,880 711 -when, as of the time of this discussion, 712 - 713 -179 714 -00:08:24,780 ~-~-> 00:08:28,680 715 -the high comes in at 114 52. And one bit 716 - 717 -180 718 -00:08:28,680 ~-~-> 00:08:30,360 719 -that so it goes a little bit above that, 720 - 721 -181 722 -00:08:30,360 ~-~-> 00:08:33,600 723 -but that's a good idea as a target, if 724 - 725 -182 726 -00:08:33,600 ~-~-> 00:08:36,570 727 -not just simply at the old high.

You'd go long at 62 900 - 901 -226 902 -00:10:24,659 ~-~-> 00:10:28,139 903 -plus spread and reach for previous day's 904 - 905 -227 906 -00:10:28,139 ~-~-> 00:10:32,279 907 -high or a combination of that and the 908 - 909 -228 910 -00:10:32,279 ~-~-> 00:10:33,809 911 -standard deviations on the Fibonacci 912 - 913 -229 914 -00:10:34,469 ~-~-> 00:10:38,699 915 -that mean like this is one standard 916 - 917 -230 918 -00:10:38,699 ~-~-> 00:10:40,349 919 -deviation. This is one half a standard 920 - 921 -231 922 -00:10:40,349 ~-~-> 00:10:43,559 923 -deviation and so on. So each day you can 924 - 925 -232 926 -00:10:43,559 ~-~-> 00:10:46,199 927 -start to see and back test how many pips 928 - 929 -233 930 -00:10:47,099 ~-~-> 00:10:49,349 931 -that using the 62% retracement level 932 - 933 -234 934 -00:10:49,349 ~-~-> 00:10:51,119 935 -would give you plus the spread for your 936 - 937 -235 938 -00:10:51,119 ~-~-> 00:10:53,099 939 -entry that you would have risked to get 940 - 941 -236 942 -00:10:53,099 ~-~-> 00:10:54,659 943 -that trade on and how many pips it 944 - 945 -237 946 -00:10:54,659 ~-~-> 00:10:58,889 947 -delivered how long the trade took from 948 - 949 -238 950 -00:10:58,889 ~-~-> 00:11:03,749 951 -entry.
