ICT Market Maker Primer Course - 11 - Implementing The Asian Range.srt
1
00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:13,170
ICT: Okay folks, welcome back. This teaching is coming
2
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:16,170
specifically dealing with implementing the Asian range.
3
00:00:21,810 --> 00:00:22,350
All right,
4
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:27,900
the Asian range. Notice it does not say ICT Asian range. I
5
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:32,250
did not create this or author this concept. My first
6
00:00:32,250 --> 00:00:34,830
introduction to it was from another trader, which I'll
7
00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:38,460
mention later on in the presentation, but what ICT concepts
8
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,390
we're going to use in this module we're gonna be introducing
9
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:47,430
the Asian range. Let me defining what the Asian range is and
10
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:52,080
charts and I'm going to teach you how to utilize it in both
11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,280
conditions and how to utilize it in bearish conditions.
12
00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:03,360
Alright, introducing the Asian range. Now, what is the Asian
13
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,840
range? Well, the price action prior to the Frankfurt open,
14
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:10,470
or London opening can be very indicative of the future
15
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:13,380
intraday price movement. Now when we have a directional
16
00:01:13,380 --> 00:01:16,800
bias, you can use this Asian range to build or frame a
17
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,490
context or storyline to the markets likely intentions.
18
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,780
There's a stillness in price many times right before the
19
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:26,010
intraday directional impulse
20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,640
price swing.
21
00:01:28,830 --> 00:01:31,380
You look at the chart here on the right, this is an Aussie
22
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:35,970
dollar chart. You can see that there is a little shaded area
23
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:42,450
right in here. And it's delineated with the gray shaded box.
24
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:47,460
And I've labeled it not surprisingly, the Asian range. So
25
00:01:48,510 --> 00:01:53,070
this little piece of price action. Okay. I actually learned
26
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:55,530
about this from Chris Laurie, and
27
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,120
I'll show you
28
00:01:57,810 --> 00:02:00,660
what I was doing before I learned this. So You can see I
29
00:02:00,660 --> 00:02:04,890
already had a beat on what price should be doing. But when I
30
00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:08,670
first saw him refer to it in his free teachings, he has a
31
00:02:08,730 --> 00:02:13,860
website. Chris Laurie calm. It's changed and morphed a
32
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:17,490
little bit over time. But folks that have gone through his
33
00:02:17,790 --> 00:02:21,450
material that know who I'm referring to, they would not in
34
00:02:21,450 --> 00:02:24,900
agreement that they would know what I'm saying is true. He
35
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:28,380
taught about the Asian range many times in free teachings.
36
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,950
So it's not like I'm taking anything away from him. In fact,
37
00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:36,570
if you're not happy with what you see in my content, but you
38
00:02:36,570 --> 00:02:39,000
do want to take some advice from someone that has seen a lot
39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,360
of things out there, Chris Laurie has a lot of good price
40
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,150
action study and his methods.
41
00:02:45,299 --> 00:02:45,839
While
42
00:02:46,679 --> 00:02:50,339
they are not mind, there's some similarities to what Chris
43
00:02:50,339 --> 00:02:53,669
does, but I'm gonna show you what I took away from him. This
44
00:02:53,669 --> 00:02:55,559
is the only thing I really learned from Chris Laurie really,
45
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,519
but and that's not to diminish his importance as a teacher
46
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:02,489
what he knows On the saying that this is what I gleaned from
47
00:03:02,489 --> 00:03:05,489
his material, I liked it because I was already familiar with
48
00:03:05,489 --> 00:03:11,129
using consolidations in certain periods of trading 24 hour
49
00:03:11,129 --> 00:03:14,759
period. If you take certain ranges, you can do some magical
50
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,039
things with them. And I teach you that in the mentorship.
51
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:20,549
And it goes well beyond what I've done in YouTube videos
52
00:03:20,789 --> 00:03:22,019
over the past couple of years.
53
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,720
So what I liked about it was,
54
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:30,660
I seen a lot of context right away when I seen how that the
55
00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:34,890
range is applied to the chart. So I'll give you what I used
56
00:03:34,890 --> 00:03:38,340
to do, and how I used entry techniques to do it so that we
57
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:41,190
have a little bit of a takeaway, not only just talking about
58
00:03:41,190 --> 00:03:44,550
the range itself, but what we can do with it. And then I'll
59
00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:48,180
show you what I've done with it to incorporate it. Now I'm
60
00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:51,450
not teaching you everything I know about this range, and
61
00:03:51,450 --> 00:03:53,250
what I've done with it over the last
62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,880
10 years or so, the
63
00:03:58,470 --> 00:04:02,850
implement of It, I think is useful for a developing trader.
64
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:08,220
But there has to be some context behind it. The range itself
65
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:10,710
doesn't produce anything magical. But if you have a
66
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:13,770
storyline behind what price should be doing that particular
67
00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:21,930
day, it is unbelievably helpful. Okay, so let's define the
68
00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:25,440
Asian range. What is it that we can do on our charts to make
69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,310
it appear and draw our attention to it? Well, the range
70
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:34,260
begins at 7pm New York time and ends at midnight, New York
71
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:41,070
time now as a special inclusion here. Chris Laurie had his
72
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:45,870
Asian range pushed beyond midnight. If my if memory serves
73
00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:51,600
me correct, I believe he had 12:30am. And to me, the
74
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,650
financial markets really begin at midnight New York time, it
75
00:04:55,650 --> 00:05:00,300
probably sounds pretty arrogant of a gank like me, me In the
76
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,570
States, but if you just study what I'm teaching you folks,
77
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:06,480
you'll see right away what I'm telling you is the gospel as
78
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,210
it relates to intraday price action only. Now everything
79
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:11,340
else might be something different, but as far as intraday
80
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:13,680
price action, I think have cornered the market in intraday
81
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,480
price action. So the height of the range is the highest high
82
00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:22,440
between 7pm to midnight, New York time, to the lowest low
83
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,630
between 7pm and midnight, New York time. The width of the
84
00:05:27,630 --> 00:05:30,960
range is obviously the duration of 7pm to midnight, New York
85
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,840
time. So let's take a look at this chart here. And we'll go
86
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,480
a little bit closer and zoom in on it. Okay, we'll cover
87
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,280
some points here. Now, right away, when you see this, it
88
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,500
probably still doesn't give you any kind of insight, and
89
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:49,740
that's fine. But I'm going to build on it and show you how
90
00:05:49,740 --> 00:05:53,760
useful it is. But we're going to build the model with
91
00:05:53,790 --> 00:05:58,380
specific buy and sell conditions later on in this video, but
92
00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:01,920
for now, take a look What you see here, okay, and kind of
93
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,510
like burness in your mind, your focus should every single
94
00:06:06,510 --> 00:06:11,490
day be zeroed in on 7pm, New York. And whatever that time is
95
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:15,660
on your broker's platform, whatever your charting platform
96
00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:19,980
or package shows, find out what time it is at 7pm, New York
97
00:06:19,980 --> 00:06:23,910
time, and then find that same time on your charts. That's
98
00:06:23,910 --> 00:06:26,100
where you put a vertical line. And that begins the asian
99
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:30,360
session. And then five hours later, it'll be midnight, New
100
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,000
York time, put another vertical line in and there's your
101
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,990
Asian range defined by the duration, the highest high in the
102
00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:42,600
lowest low is what we would use to frame out the range. Now,
103
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,560
there's a lot of Voodoo that you can do with this range.
104
00:06:46,590 --> 00:06:49,290
Okay, and again, I'm not teaching you here, but believe me,
105
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,590
it can take you to the highest and the lowest Tip of the
106
00:06:52,590 --> 00:06:55,830
Day. There's some things you have to incorporate in that and
107
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:58,620
I teach that in the mentorship but for now, I teach you a
108
00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:01,800
very simple approach to it. Use this. And when you can
109
00:07:01,830 --> 00:07:06,300
filter out trades and not do anything that may end up taking
110
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:12,300
a loss if you do otherwise. So let's take a closer look and
111
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,660
remove all of the benefit of seeing the price action there.
112
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,610
Okay, now we do have the benefit of hindsight. But
113
00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:20,910
nonetheless, I want to kind of build an understanding about
114
00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:24,000
what this range does, or at least my interpretation of it,
115
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,700
and how I was able to see right away the importance of
116
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:33,030
utilizing it in my view on price action. During this range,
117
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,180
what's actually happening is there's orders that are coming
118
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:40,710
in, in are stacking up above the market and below the market
119
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,180
relative to that range. And it's also building up a market
120
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:50,790
sentiment. Now this compression of market participation
121
00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:54,060
starts to build up closer and closer and closer until we get
122
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:58,680
to midnight in New York. Soon as we cross over midnight time
123
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,580
in New York. We are in fertile ground for price movement.
124
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:09,330
We're going to assume that everyone in this listening
125
00:08:09,330 --> 00:08:12,960
audience is familiar with channels, okay, or trading ranges.
126
00:08:13,590 --> 00:08:18,060
The idea is above this range, there's going to be buy
127
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:23,520
orders. Those buy orders are going to act as breakout
128
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,270
artists, okay. In other words, they are not astute to know
129
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:32,940
how to buy when it's a low price or technically oversold
130
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,520
without the use of indicators. So they just want to be
131
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,890
buying on strength. And there's really nothing inherently
132
00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:41,250
wrong about that if you know what you're looking for. But
133
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,200
most traders don't know what you're looking for. And they
134
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,680
just go in any willy nilly an entry based on breaking out
135
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,110
above and behind, they'll buy that and be that a strength
136
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,560
and that puts a stop loss right below the low which would be
137
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,980
here. short sellers would do the opposite.
138
00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:59,700
They would have their sell orders below this range. So any
139
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:03,570
movement Lower, would hopefully put them in a short position
140
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,030
and they would take the other end of that range and put
141
00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:09,480
their protective buy stop. So buyers that want to break out
142
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,250
above this consolidation are going to buy want to stop with
143
00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:19,650
a protective cell stop below the low. short sellers want to
144
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:23,370
sell on a stop and use a protective buy stop above the high.
145
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:28,950
Okay, so the storyline is, what are we going to do? After
146
00:09:28,950 --> 00:09:31,740
midnight, which is this vertical line here? What's the
147
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:36,540
storyline? Where are we going to go? My whole entire career
148
00:09:36,540 --> 00:09:40,410
has been based on understanding this phenomena. And it's
149
00:09:40,410 --> 00:09:45,270
been a more or less a pursuit of excellence. So I want to
150
00:09:45,270 --> 00:09:49,770
know what the highest probability which side are they going
151
00:09:49,770 --> 00:09:53,340
to work on. Okay. And what I mean by that is, are they going
152
00:09:53,340 --> 00:09:56,460
to try to put a specific party of traders whether it be
153
00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:59,970
bullish or bearish traders in on the wrong side right before
154
00:10:00,570 --> 00:10:01,590
London creates
155
00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:04,500
what? The higher low of the day. So
156
00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:09,090
the key is, and this is the takeaway so far and this this is
157
00:10:09,090 --> 00:10:11,970
what should be in your notes right now is what you're
158
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:15,810
looking for. What sets up the opportunity, if you will, for
159
00:10:15,810 --> 00:10:19,500
the particular trading day is if we have a very narrow
160
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:24,330
consolidated range between 7pm and midnight, or will we be
161
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,390
deemed as the Asian range. So if you have a very narrow
162
00:10:27,390 --> 00:10:33,330
consolidation there, that sets up a huge possibility of the
163
00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:36,090
algorithm going into a trending model. Okay, so in other
164
00:10:36,090 --> 00:10:39,900
words, without going into after teaching anything really
165
00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:44,460
about that the market will seek the liquidity above or below
166
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:52,080
this range with a premise that it's going to put them in the
167
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,770
wrong side. And then it'll go the other way for the
168
00:10:55,770 --> 00:10:56,910
remainder of the trading day.
169
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Okay, so let's take a look at how we can utilize it in a
170
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,210
bullish condition. Now, the periods when prices bullish, we
171
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:12,600
can extend the Asian range high and low into the future.
172
00:11:13,290 --> 00:11:16,650
When price returns back to the Asian range high, we can
173
00:11:16,650 --> 00:11:21,360
anticipate institutional buying. Let's take a look at that.
174
00:11:21,750 --> 00:11:25,620
As an example here. We're going to assume that we have an
175
00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:28,920
understanding or expectation, if you will, the Aussie dollar
176
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:32,280
was bullish for this particular day. Now, if you want to
177
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,780
know what would lend well to coming to that conclusion of
178
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:39,390
being bullish, if you look at the daily chart, you'll see
179
00:11:39,390 --> 00:11:43,680
that there was a reason for the Aussie dollar reached up to
180
00:11:43,710 --> 00:11:47,430
a equal high. Okay, go down to a four hour or one hour
181
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:52,050
chart. You'll see also that it's obvious you can see it so
182
00:11:52,050 --> 00:11:55,470
far what we've shown in the teachings in this series, it's
183
00:11:55,470 --> 00:11:58,380
been pretty obvious to know where the liquidity is. And
184
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:01,560
that's what this whole day was reaching. To buy stocks above
185
00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:08,910
equal high. Now, again, I want to take off the Asian range
186
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:14,280
and provide just a blank chart. Okay and assume for a
187
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:21,180
moment, pre my exposure, okay to Asian range. This is what I
188
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:24,210
used to do. Okay, this is how I actually traded. And I was
189
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:26,880
doing this since 1994. So
190
00:12:28,140 --> 00:12:30,090
your appreciate, hopefully the
191
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:32,460
evolution, if you
192
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:36,750
will, of my understanding about how this whole buying below
193
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:39,720
the open when it's bullish or selling above the open when
194
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:46,050
it's bearish. All those ideas came from this individual
195
00:12:46,290 --> 00:12:49,710
specific element that I'm going to show you now. I would
196
00:12:49,710 --> 00:12:53,160
have on my chart, list of all kinds of indicators, okay, so
197
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:56,100
I'm going to spare you all that. But if we just look at
198
00:12:56,100 --> 00:13:01,680
price actions as a naked form of open house, loan close, it
199
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,290
can be rather
200
00:13:05,790 --> 00:13:06,480
confusing.
201
00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:10,380
But if you look for specific times of the day and specific
202
00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:14,730
generic concepts or characteristics that should manifest
203
00:13:14,730 --> 00:13:17,910
themselves, then there's a storyline that will start to
204
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:22,260
develop and you get this over the years. Many times. It's
205
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:25,140
referred to as tape reading many times it's referred to as
206
00:13:25,140 --> 00:13:28,350
gut feeling, or just triggers intuition or just laughs I
207
00:13:28,350 --> 00:13:33,570
call it intuition and experience if you will, once you know
208
00:13:33,870 --> 00:13:36,690
what you're looking for, you wait for that scenario to
209
00:13:36,690 --> 00:13:39,150
unfold. So this is what I would have done without the Asian
210
00:13:39,150 --> 00:13:42,750
range. This is how I always treated the SMP. The bond market
211
00:13:42,780 --> 00:13:48,000
and currency futures. We get the opening price at midnight.
212
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,830
Okay, and that opening price is seen here. Right there. And
213
00:13:52,830 --> 00:13:56,250
all I do is draw that opening price out all the way out
214
00:13:56,490 --> 00:14:00,180
until 11 o'clock in the morning, New York time now The
215
00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:02,040
reason why I would draw it out till 11 o'clock in the
216
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,640
morning New York time is because that would be the end of
217
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,530
the morning trend for the s&p 500. Okay, so that there's a
218
00:14:10,530 --> 00:14:12,930
reason for that hour, it's not that I'm just pulling that
219
00:14:12,930 --> 00:14:17,490
number out of the air. It's also very close to what was
220
00:14:17,550 --> 00:14:21,150
taught in the previous teaching the London clothes. So
221
00:14:21,150 --> 00:14:24,540
that's what makes that London clothes scenario. It's the end
222
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:28,530
of the trend on the stock market or equities market in the
223
00:14:28,530 --> 00:14:33,690
States. Also, it overlaps conveniently enough with the close
224
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:37,500
of London trading, so there's a little bit of manipulation
225
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,020
that goes on in there and some profit taking so it creates
226
00:14:40,020 --> 00:14:44,100
an opportunity, but for opening range concepts, I draw it
227
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:50,100
out to 11 o'clock in the morning, New York time. Okay. So if
228
00:14:50,430 --> 00:14:54,840
we are looking for a bullish scenario, and I'm gonna just
229
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,870
make the case that we would be expecting a higher Aussie
230
00:14:57,870 --> 00:15:02,730
dollar here. I want to See price initially dropped down
231
00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:05,940
below that opening price. Because I want to be buying below
232
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:09,150
the opening price. The understanding is I want to figure out
233
00:15:09,330 --> 00:15:13,620
what Larry Williams said he couldn't do as a teacher. I took
234
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:16,170
it as a challenge as a student. That's what I'm going to
235
00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:18,510
look for. I'm going to figure that out. And this is what my
236
00:15:18,510 --> 00:15:22,320
interpretation of how to do that very thing was seen in
237
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,960
price action, I would use the opening price as it dropped
238
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,670
down, I would buy right there. Now, if I either did not have
239
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:33,090
the guts to do that, or I missed the opportunity, sometimes
240
00:15:33,090 --> 00:15:35,550
I would wait for a specific price. It wouldn't get there and
241
00:15:35,550 --> 00:15:40,710
then it would take off. If I saw a reversal, or potential
242
00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:45,090
reversal, I would look at the high right but right before
243
00:15:45,090 --> 00:15:48,780
the drop down in here, you can see there was a small little
244
00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:53,490
segment of price action. Right before that drop down. I
245
00:15:53,490 --> 00:15:57,630
would put a buy stop right there. Now as I graduated in my
246
00:15:57,630 --> 00:16:02,310
understanding, I would look to Get in as price was dropping
247
00:16:02,310 --> 00:16:08,850
down. But I also have this buy stock in place. Even if I was
248
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,230
able to get in many times, price would sometimes snap me in
249
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:16,350
and put me in on the buy stock and on my market order as
250
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:18,540
price was dropping down. So in other words, what I was doing
251
00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:21,420
was, I was waiting for price to drop down below this
252
00:16:21,420 --> 00:16:25,950
horizontal line or trend line segment here. Okay, that's
253
00:16:25,950 --> 00:16:29,070
delineate nucleon price at midnight, New York time, the drop
254
00:16:29,070 --> 00:16:33,030
down below that I'm hopefully trying to buy that. Now, as it
255
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:36,750
starts to drop. My eye goes right here, because now we're
256
00:16:36,750 --> 00:16:40,260
below the opening price. It may go lower and give me my
257
00:16:40,260 --> 00:16:44,700
ultimate price of entry, but it may not. So as soon as it
258
00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:47,490
starts to break down after midnight and it goes back back
259
00:16:47,490 --> 00:16:50,730
down below the opening price. I immediately add a buy stop
260
00:16:50,730 --> 00:16:54,960
to half the position I want to trade at this point here. So
261
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,000
in other words, if my full position down here was say 10
262
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,440
standard lots. I would go in with a BA Stop at five standard
263
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,800
lots right here. So that way it worst case scenario, if I
264
00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:08,370
don't get my fill here and it reverses, if you will, and
265
00:17:08,370 --> 00:17:12,240
runs real quick for these ties, it'll put me at least half
266
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,850
the position I wanted to get on down here. So half of
267
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,000
something is better than nothing. If I were able to put on
268
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,310
the full position down here, I would still try to take this
269
00:17:23,310 --> 00:17:26,790
stop off, if I get my full position on down here. Sometimes
270
00:17:26,790 --> 00:17:30,330
I wasn't able to do that. Now the problem is in your mind is
271
00:17:30,330 --> 00:17:32,370
okay, what happens if you put your poor position down here,
272
00:17:32,730 --> 00:17:37,590
and you're risking 2%? Well, I wasn't risking 2%. So I'm
273
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:41,370
trading at 1%, one and a half percent. And then this
274
00:17:41,370 --> 00:17:44,700
position here, if it feels me I'm not over leveraged, or if
275
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:48,510
I do get one and a half percent on here in this half here.
276
00:17:48,660 --> 00:17:50,370
It would technically put me over two and a half percent
277
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,210
risk. But I'm going to be more aggressive about trailing my
278
00:17:54,210 --> 00:17:57,030
initial stop loss up to try to pare that down to 2%.
279
00:17:57,210 --> 00:18:00,420
Okay, and that's really what I was doing now. Now let's
280
00:18:00,420 --> 00:18:06,210
contrast what I just did here with the implementation of the
281
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,760
Asian range and this is exactly where price would fill you.
282
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,260
With that buy stop being tripped. So now I would be long
283
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:15,480
here. If I didn't get filled down here below the opening
284
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,030
price at midnight, this would be where my buy stop was
285
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:21,480
filming in my stop loss would be below the low. You can see
286
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,690
I'd have to weather this retracement here, and then
287
00:18:24,810 --> 00:18:27,420
eventually catch the move later on in the day. Now let's
288
00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:30,810
take this discussion back the implementation of the Asian
289
00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:35,760
range. And I'll show you how I evolved and seen a much
290
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,540
clearer view on price action using the range as I define it
291
00:18:39,540 --> 00:18:43,950
here. Seven o'clock pm, New York time to midnight 00 level
292
00:18:43,950 --> 00:18:47,040
not like 1230 or one o'clock in the morning on that stuff.
293
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:52,350
Exactly. At midnight. Okay? Because what we're banking on is
294
00:18:52,410 --> 00:18:57,030
the midnight opening price. That's what sets the algorithm.
295
00:18:57,570 --> 00:19:01,440
It goes through a it goes to a reset If you if you want to
296
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,530
think of it like that. So if we're bullish, it's going to go
297
00:19:04,530 --> 00:19:09,450
below the opening price to seek liquidity, and then go
298
00:19:09,450 --> 00:19:12,570
higher and spend the rest of the day going higher. When it's
299
00:19:12,570 --> 00:19:15,750
bearish, it'll go above the opening price at midnight, to
300
00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:19,470
reach for liquidity, and then move lower for several hours
301
00:19:19,470 --> 00:19:20,910
going into London close or
302
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:23,400
New York open. So
303
00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:27,780
now let's take a look at what's actually going on with the
304
00:19:27,810 --> 00:19:30,750
implementation of the Asian range. Now we have a tight Asian
305
00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:31,410
range in here.
306
00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:32,520
Okay,
307
00:19:32,610 --> 00:19:36,180
and again, buyers are above the range sellers are below the
308
00:19:36,180 --> 00:19:42,060
range. Price right after midnight does what goes up and taps
309
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:45,300
the Asian range high. Now you're saying okay, well, it
310
00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:49,590
didn't go above it. Let your stop, be there. And I guarantee
311
00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:53,010
you that broker spread will open up wide enough to get that
312
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,730
and you'll be in long as your stop loss which will be right
313
00:19:56,730 --> 00:20:00,330
at that low or just below it will be tagged right They're,
314
00:20:01,620 --> 00:20:04,410
even though it reflects here, your broker and this is what
315
00:20:04,410 --> 00:20:07,650
you sign up with. When you open up your account. You are
316
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,480
giving them permission to open the spreads up on you.
317
00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:15,570
Everybody makes this big complaint about, Oh, well they did
318
00:20:15,570 --> 00:20:19,860
this they did that you sign it and you agree to it. So when
319
00:20:19,860 --> 00:20:22,290
you see people online saying that they trade with three pips
320
00:20:22,290 --> 00:20:25,470
stop losses. That's not true. It's not accurate and they are
321
00:20:25,470 --> 00:20:28,740
not doing it with live accounts because believe me, in house
322
00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:31,740
funny money gains with the brokers would eat them up
323
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,180
immediately. It would not happen, okay. I think personally,
324
00:20:36,270 --> 00:20:41,760
with a stop loss of anything less than 10 pips is just
325
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,080
ludicrous. It's stupid. Okay? Because Begley is from a
326
00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:49,650
retail broker standpoint, you're inviting them to take your
327
00:20:49,650 --> 00:20:52,980
stock. It's just the way it is. You can argue with me and
328
00:20:52,980 --> 00:20:54,630
give me all kinds of track history and say, Well, I'm
329
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:57,120
trading with a five PIP stop here and there. That's fine. Do
330
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,450
it 10 years and see how many times get burned the point is
331
00:21:01,230 --> 00:21:05,310
why offer yourself up on the altar for that sacrifice, when
332
00:21:05,310 --> 00:21:09,360
there's better ways of doing it. You don't have to have less
333
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:13,530
than 10 pips stop losses to do very well. We have an Asian
334
00:21:13,530 --> 00:21:15,810
range in here with the understanding or in this model we're
335
00:21:15,810 --> 00:21:20,580
going to expect bullishness, okay, and price starts to go up
336
00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:25,110
initially, and comes back down and breaks the Asian range
337
00:21:25,410 --> 00:21:30,300
down here. So we take out the low on the Asian range that's
338
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:34,230
been extended beyond midnight. That trips in sellers and it
339
00:21:34,230 --> 00:21:36,570
also knocks out individuals that would have been pulled in
340
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:40,950
on a buy stop right at this level. So long holders are in
341
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:45,540
and now they're out. shareholders are in now and their stop
342
00:21:45,540 --> 00:21:49,770
losses above here or here. So they're taking both sides of
343
00:21:49,770 --> 00:21:53,790
the marketplace in now. And then the market takes off goes
344
00:21:53,790 --> 00:21:58,770
higher. What we look for is this little movement right here.
345
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,200
That movement
346
00:22:01,470 --> 00:22:04,350
is what sets the tone when we're bullish, we wouldn't be
347
00:22:04,350 --> 00:22:08,160
buying there. Or we can do what I showed earlier. You could
348
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,770
put a buy stop right here, it gets filled, a contingent
349
00:22:13,770 --> 00:22:17,550
order that would be if I'm filled with your broker, or
350
00:22:17,550 --> 00:22:21,330
cancel order, basically, if we have a parent contingent
351
00:22:21,330 --> 00:22:25,200
order, suggesting they who buy on the stock, if that stock
352
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,830
gets filled, if it happens, then we would place a sell stop
353
00:22:28,830 --> 00:22:33,000
below this low at some specific price level. And you could
354
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,760
leave that in the marketplace and go to sleep. And don't
355
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,370
even worry about watching all this stuff. Okay, there's one
356
00:22:38,370 --> 00:22:43,590
way you can apply a day traders model and or enter with a
357
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:46,590
long term model but using a day traders approach to trading
358
00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:47,430
that whole
359
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,090
entry.
360
00:22:49,890 --> 00:22:53,220
If you've missed this one, okay, and price starts to rally
361
00:22:53,220 --> 00:22:56,730
away. We have to have the storyline behind this example of
362
00:22:56,730 --> 00:23:01,500
being bullish. Otherwise, this could be an easy Sell, as
363
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:03,090
you'll see when we talk about when the conditions are
364
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:07,080
bearish. But knowing where the market is most likely trying
365
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,880
to go from a higher timeframe standpoint, is significant and
366
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,790
crucial in utilization of the Asian range. Otherwise, you're
367
00:23:14,790 --> 00:23:17,130
just going to do things that aren't going to be profitable.
368
00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:21,240
So if we're bullish, we, we'd like to see this element here.
369
00:23:21,660 --> 00:23:25,320
And then this year, no problem. We don't need to get that
370
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:27,570
and we don't need to be a part of this move here. Okay, we
371
00:23:27,570 --> 00:23:31,110
want to wait for price to come back down and touch the Asian
372
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:34,860
range high. Now it does. So here that's a little early. And
373
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:39,210
then we do it again in the New York open. So New York open
374
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,870
we see price trading back to the Asian range high. Right
375
00:23:42,870 --> 00:23:46,230
there is where institutional buying is gonna step in. Why
376
00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:49,500
are they doing that? Because the initial range that was set
377
00:23:49,500 --> 00:23:53,760
between 7pm and midnight, midnight is when into the
378
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,740
interbank price delivery algorithm resets and then it
379
00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:03,570
attacks Open liquidity for the open float, which would be
380
00:24:03,570 --> 00:24:06,000
the orders above the Asian range and below the Asian range.
381
00:24:06,270 --> 00:24:09,030
All right, you know, you're gonna know 15 different people
382
00:24:09,090 --> 00:24:11,700
that work at a bank or they know somebody they smoke cigars
383
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,980
with on the weekends, and they are a market maker, they're
384
00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:16,770
gonna say what I just said to you is nonsense. But I'm
385
00:24:16,770 --> 00:24:19,920
telling you, they don't know what you're talking about,
386
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,670
because I'm doing this daily to the PIP, week after week,
387
00:24:23,670 --> 00:24:26,880
day after day. And I'm telling you, it's not based on
388
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,060
anything else, except for what I learned. Okay, and some of
389
00:24:30,060 --> 00:24:34,020
the things are going to go in the category of tinfoil hat.
390
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,630
And I'll just let you wrestle with that. I don't really care
391
00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:39,660
about your opinion. Just know that what I'm suggesting to
392
00:24:39,660 --> 00:24:43,260
you here, if you look at it in price action, it's there. So
393
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:47,250
we can see the optimal trade entry. From this low to this
394
00:24:47,250 --> 00:24:51,420
high retrace back down New York open overlap with the Asian
395
00:24:51,420 --> 00:24:54,570
range high with the storyline is that we're bullish on the
396
00:24:54,570 --> 00:24:58,890
higher timeframe. Beautiful illustration of a Asian range
397
00:24:58,890 --> 00:25:01,740
application in bowls can be And then off to the races we go.
398
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,830
So we have two opportunities in here in the New York open,
399
00:25:08,250 --> 00:25:10,680
and we have one set up here that gives us a really, really
400
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:17,370
low end entry point with very little risk in terms of our
401
00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:21,660
entry and then the subsequent move higher. The other portion
402
00:25:21,690 --> 00:25:25,350
would be entering on a stop here about the Asian range, but
403
00:25:25,350 --> 00:25:29,400
you wait you have to sit up and you have to wait for price
404
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,580
to drop down below the Asian range, then you buy want to
405
00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:34,800
break above the Asian range high, but the conditions have to
406
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,850
be bullish. And we have to first see Asian range low break
407
00:25:39,030 --> 00:25:41,490
than a buy stock can be placed at the Asian range high. If
408
00:25:41,490 --> 00:25:45,750
you do this before. The Asian range low is taken, you will
409
00:25:45,750 --> 00:25:48,870
get burned, you will get stopped out. You will send an email
410
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:52,290
saying doesn't work. I'm telling you, there's rules here and
411
00:25:52,290 --> 00:25:55,110
it is given to you. rewind the video and read listen to it
412
00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:56,400
again. It's very clear
413
00:26:01,949 --> 00:26:04,769
Alright, so utilization of the Asian range in bearish
414
00:26:04,769 --> 00:26:07,319
conditions. Okay, again, like we said, but when it's
415
00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:09,539
bullish, there's a period it's quiet
416
00:26:09,929 --> 00:26:11,849
right before the Frankfurt, London open.
417
00:26:12,689 --> 00:26:14,519
And we begin focusing on that. And when it's in a tight
418
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:17,939
narrow consolidation, we're going to be looking for some
419
00:26:17,939 --> 00:26:21,869
measure of manipulation, if you will, on price action. So
420
00:26:22,589 --> 00:26:24,959
what we're gonna be doing is waiting for a break in the
421
00:26:24,959 --> 00:26:27,689
Asian range low and then when price trades back up to it,
422
00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:31,049
we're gonna be anticipating institutional selling. So let's
423
00:26:31,049 --> 00:26:34,919
take a closer look at this example here. zoom in here, some
424
00:26:34,919 --> 00:26:42,089
more detail. Now this image burning for a minute. Okay. And
425
00:26:42,089 --> 00:26:46,649
now we're going to take it off and go to an element of naked
426
00:26:46,649 --> 00:26:51,089
price action. And I'm going to show you what I was doing
427
00:26:51,329 --> 00:26:56,579
prior to learning about the Asian range. There's the opening
428
00:26:56,579 --> 00:26:57,209
price again.
429
00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:59,400
This candle
430
00:27:00,780 --> 00:27:04,680
I would be looking for bearish price movement. And if we're
431
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,740
going to just suspend your disbelief whether or not I was
432
00:27:08,190 --> 00:27:10,980
actually bearish before this day or not, trust me and go
433
00:27:10,980 --> 00:27:13,680
through my Twitter, you'll see all kinds of examples of me
434
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,760
doing this very thing. But nonetheless, we're gonna assume
435
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,270
for sake of argument that we're bearish on this particular
436
00:27:21,270 --> 00:27:24,450
currency, that thing, okay, we're going to be looking for
437
00:27:24,540 --> 00:27:27,180
price movement above the opening price. That's what I'm
438
00:27:27,180 --> 00:27:30,960
looking for here. Okay. Now, I learned early on that these
439
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:36,030
levels, these double tops, they were fake outs. And that's
440
00:27:36,030 --> 00:27:39,720
why I loved the turtle soup trading pattern that I learned
441
00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:42,240
in a book called street smarts. And if you don't have it,
442
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,730
you should buy it. It's a very, very good book. But that
443
00:27:44,730 --> 00:27:46,980
pattern in there resonated with me because I was already
444
00:27:46,980 --> 00:27:47,790
doing things
445
00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:48,960
similar to that.
446
00:27:50,070 --> 00:27:52,410
And I would just look for those equal highs and equal lows,
447
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,630
which I've already taught you in this series. And right
448
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:57,480
away, there's a large number of you in our community that
449
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,610
are just going through the roof right now with excitement
450
00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:03,180
cuz now you see something that's always been there. But now
451
00:28:03,180 --> 00:28:06,060
you see it. And it's useful to you, you can see where prices
452
00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:09,360
are drawn to. Well, if we see this time of day, and this is
453
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:12,690
midnight, and we're bearish, we have equal highs in here.
454
00:28:12,990 --> 00:28:15,990
Right away, I want to know there's going to be a rally above
455
00:28:15,990 --> 00:28:19,080
the opening price. And I extend that out in time, about one
456
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,500
o'clock in the morning, New York time. And anytime price
457
00:28:22,530 --> 00:28:25,440
trades above that opening price, and it's inside of a kill
458
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:33,120
zone, that means the London or New York open kill zone. If
459
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:35,610
it trades above that opening price, I will look to go short.
460
00:28:36,390 --> 00:28:41,340
Now, if we go above it, and this is what I was doing, before
461
00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:43,830
I started incorporating the Asian range concept. I would
462
00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:46,620
just simply look for this rally above. If I got this
463
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:49,590
scenario here, I was selling right there. I would sell
464
00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:53,340
short, the SMP, I would sell short Deutschmark. I would sell
465
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:57,210
short the Swiss franc, I would swell, the yen, all those
466
00:28:57,420 --> 00:29:00,300
commodity futures contracts. That's what that was. As my
467
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:03,090
entry technique right there, and then I would go to sleep
468
00:29:03,270 --> 00:29:05,370
and wake up around five o'clock and mourn, hopefully I get
469
00:29:05,370 --> 00:29:08,400
some profit. And I would take something off, try my stop
470
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,470
loss really, really tight sometimes get stopped out other
471
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:15,690
times, it would carry over into globex into open outcry in
472
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,080
the pits. And then I'd get some more follow through in the
473
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:25,800
day session hours in the New York session. But if that's my
474
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,420
entry point there, just like anybody else, life may get in
475
00:29:30,420 --> 00:29:35,250
the way. I may get sick. My kids may be complaining about
476
00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:37,560
growing pains and I can't be in front of my charts. You
477
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,070
know, this happens. You know, I'm a dad, I'm a husband. I'm
478
00:29:41,070 --> 00:29:45,660
to have a pet parent and two boxers, and anything can
479
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:48,480
happen. Okay, that distract me from actually getting in
480
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,000
where I want to get in it. I don't always use limit orders.
481
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,070
There are certain conditions where I want to use a limit
482
00:29:53,070 --> 00:29:56,970
order. But mainly, I want to be executing right when the
483
00:29:56,970 --> 00:29:59,790
markets happening to be trading against my directional
484
00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:01,740
buys for the day.
485
00:30:02,130 --> 00:30:04,770
I don't mind market orders to folks that say you shouldn't
486
00:30:04,770 --> 00:30:06,930
be using market orders, you know, they should be using limit
487
00:30:06,930 --> 00:30:10,560
orders. Again, that goes along with not knowing what I do.
488
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,220
I'm actually trading aggressively rate as the markets
489
00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:17,550
screaming higher. I go marketing selling short right then
490
00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:19,680
and there and you see my examples I'm getting in there right
491
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,560
at the highs and or the very lows, so I don't care what
492
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,080
anybody else's opinion is, I can do it over and over again.
493
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,910
And I've repeatedly shown it week after week. If you are up
494
00:30:29,940 --> 00:30:33,780
in a week looking at London, you can use market orders. But
495
00:30:34,050 --> 00:30:37,620
if I am not going to be awake, I will put a limit order in
496
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:41,280
about two pips above these equal highs. My limit order would
497
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,910
be about bear and my stop loss would be about 35 to 40 pips
498
00:30:45,270 --> 00:30:47,730
and I would go to sleep and be comfortable with that. Okay.
499
00:30:48,750 --> 00:30:52,470
I would have an 80 PIP take profit on the full position that
500
00:30:52,470 --> 00:30:56,940
way if I did wake up, and it moved in accelerated pace and
501
00:30:56,970 --> 00:31:00,000
moved 80 pips that would be five pips over my week.
502
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,110
Objective which is 75 pips, I always aiming for 5075 pips
503
00:31:04,110 --> 00:31:06,390
only for a weekly objective. Once I do that I'm done
504
00:31:06,390 --> 00:31:09,960
trading, I don't do anything else. But I leave myself the
505
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,140
opportunity to catch a tiger by the tail. If I wake up and
506
00:31:13,140 --> 00:31:15,960
the markets already moved 80 pips, I'm done for the week.
507
00:31:16,050 --> 00:31:19,710
And I didn't do anything but sleeping the whole process. But
508
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:25,440
if I miss this opportunity, okay, if I miss it, my eyes go
509
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,940
right to the low that form prior to that run above the
510
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:32,910
opening price when I'm bearish. So I'm going to place a sell
511
00:31:32,910 --> 00:31:37,020
stop to get me in. Now sell stops, generally you understand
512
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:41,760
them as a protective basis or mechanism to protect your long
513
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,090
position. If there is no long position and you place a sell
514
00:31:45,090 --> 00:31:48,720
stop, it's going to put you in short, and that's what I'd be
515
00:31:48,810 --> 00:31:52,170
expecting to see happen here. So when price drops down, I
516
00:31:52,170 --> 00:31:55,410
could be short there and my stop loss would be above the
517
00:31:55,410 --> 00:31:58,170
high of the day. So let's assume for a moment that I missed
518
00:31:58,170 --> 00:32:02,610
this opportunity here and I just can't stay up something
519
00:32:02,610 --> 00:32:06,930
happens you My wife is getting ready have a baby this has
520
00:32:06,930 --> 00:32:12,540
happened I had to take a trade so I mean I have to trade
521
00:32:12,540 --> 00:32:15,180
folks okay it is what it is okay and I had to hear about it
522
00:32:15,180 --> 00:32:19,500
on the way to the hospital that day but nonetheless I'm you
523
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:22,710
know, this is this is real life stuff here folks. So if I
524
00:32:22,710 --> 00:32:26,280
missed the opportunity get in okay and and the Swiss franc
525
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,310
is looking to go lower. I'm going to place a sell stop below
526
00:32:29,310 --> 00:32:32,460
the swing low right before the rally above the opening price
527
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,940
with the expectation that if this order fails, it will place
528
00:32:35,970 --> 00:32:40,140
a protective buy stop above the high plus three pips. And
529
00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:43,770
then again, same scenario, I would have a take profit of 50
530
00:32:43,770 --> 00:32:46,620
pips which is a low one of my main weekly objective, and
531
00:32:46,620 --> 00:32:50,610
that's it I don't trail my stop. I do not trail stops I do
532
00:32:50,610 --> 00:32:54,120
not have a mechanism that trails my stop loss lower because
533
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,150
I don't think it should be done. Okay. I teach taking
534
00:32:57,150 --> 00:32:59,970
partials is the better way of go and leave your stop loss.
535
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,730
Where you initially put it, manage the risk from taking
536
00:33:02,730 --> 00:33:06,060
partials and then slowly move it down after New York trading
537
00:33:06,060 --> 00:33:09,210
starts, because if you're going to get a big range day like
538
00:33:09,210 --> 00:33:12,750
we see here, you want to trail the stop loss after New York
539
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:16,080
has done its retracement, if we take the conversation back
540
00:33:16,110 --> 00:33:19,290
to the utilization of the Asian range, we can see here
541
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,960
what's actually happening is we have a tight narrow
542
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,620
consolidation. And we're bearish now I think we have folks
543
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,800
that want to buy on the breakout, they get tripped in with
544
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,410
the move above the Asian range high here. So now what are
545
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:33,780
they they're long, where's their stop loss going to be at
546
00:33:33,810 --> 00:33:36,810
right below that low. Mark goes right down below there to
547
00:33:36,810 --> 00:33:39,210
take their stuff. Notice it doesn't just go a little bit, it
548
00:33:39,210 --> 00:33:43,170
goes conveniently 10 pips below it. It's gonna sweep out
549
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,560
anybody that has a stoploss at or just below that low. And
550
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,440
using that little tail over here, they think that they're
551
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,180
safe. They're not. The real move is running above the Asian
552
00:33:54,180 --> 00:33:58,380
range high after the buyers have been put in, then taken
553
00:33:58,380 --> 00:34:01,860
out, driven back up again. Why, because short sellers that
554
00:34:01,860 --> 00:34:04,620
were lucky enough to try to sell short at the top of this
555
00:34:04,620 --> 00:34:08,040
channel or trading range, they're making money here, they're
556
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,370
not going to be allowed to be profitable. They run on their
557
00:34:11,370 --> 00:34:14,250
stops, which would be a buy stop run above these highs.
558
00:34:14,580 --> 00:34:17,820
That's where you're looking to be a seller. This is the
559
00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:22,830
lowest risk, high probability entry for using the Asian
560
00:34:22,830 --> 00:34:29,670
range. If we wait for the Asian range low to be broken, and
561
00:34:29,670 --> 00:34:32,760
then retrace back up to it. That's the other entry point
562
00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:35,430
using the Asian range. So you can see there's two ways of
563
00:34:35,430 --> 00:34:39,270
using this range. Selling above the Asian range high when
564
00:34:39,270 --> 00:34:42,240
we're bearish. best scenario, especially if you have the
565
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:43,860
scenario that's been outlined here.
566
00:34:45,090 --> 00:34:49,170
Understand the storyline. You have to have a bias on the day
567
00:34:49,950 --> 00:34:53,910
and do not change gears. Based on all this little movement
568
00:34:53,910 --> 00:34:57,630
here. You have to stick to what your analysis is calling
569
00:34:57,630 --> 00:35:00,720
for. Our timeframe is going to go lower So we want to be
570
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:05,130
looking for the market to take out the Asian range high. If
571
00:35:05,130 --> 00:35:09,240
that happens, we could sell short there. Or the low risk
572
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,300
confirmation trade is wait for the Asian range low to break
573
00:35:12,660 --> 00:35:15,000
and then trade back up to it and then we can sell there.
574
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,630
Okay, and if it happens to occur during an ICT kills in
575
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,680
London open or New York open, the probabilities go through
576
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:28,320
the roof in terms of being accurate. And then you can see
577
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,470
that unfolding your charts if you go through the charts with
578
00:35:31,950 --> 00:35:37,740
this in mind, okay, just put the Asian range on and paint
579
00:35:37,740 --> 00:35:41,670
them manually. I know you all want indicators and pop this
580
00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:45,810
up and empty for this and empty for that. Physically draw
581
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:48,990
them in, spend some time in the charts get intimate with
582
00:35:48,990 --> 00:35:51,420
price action, because it's going to teach you a lot more I
583
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:55,590
had to do this stuff with charts that were you know, Drew
584
00:35:55,590 --> 00:35:56,640
handdrawn like I
585
00:35:56,790 --> 00:35:57,360
I had
586
00:35:58,530 --> 00:36:01,710
well obsession with Printed charts. So I would print out
587
00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:04,560
charts and I would do all these things by hand and a ruler
588
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,050
and a magic marker and highlighter. That's the stuff I used
589
00:36:07,050 --> 00:36:10,260
to do. And I'm convinced that's what made me good at it.
590
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,880
being lazy about this, okay, what you're really saying is,
591
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,640
is I don't really have time to really study it, just give me
592
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,460
the lipstick on the chart and then there it is, you will not
593
00:36:20,490 --> 00:36:25,980
get the same level of appreciation or understanding. If you
594
00:36:25,980 --> 00:36:30,690
shortcut it, draw the levels on as I taught. So by taking
595
00:36:30,690 --> 00:36:34,290
the time to draw this out manually and reminding yourself
596
00:36:34,620 --> 00:36:38,340
okay, maybe then be worth taking the time to type out a
597
00:36:38,340 --> 00:36:45,090
notation. Yeah, in this in this area here to not focus on
598
00:36:45,090 --> 00:36:49,530
the movements below the Asian range. Okay, focus primarily
599
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:56,760
on a move above the Asian range high when we're bearish and
600
00:36:56,790 --> 00:37:01,080
or if we break below the Asian range after midnight. Wait
601
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:07,080
for a retest in the form of resistance. Now, think about
602
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,740
what you're seeing here. If we look at price action like
603
00:37:10,740 --> 00:37:14,220
this, if What if we don't use the Asian range concept here?
604
00:37:14,340 --> 00:37:19,950
As I'm outlining? The question is, why would this be a
605
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,630
selling point? I mean, granted, you know, you can go back to
606
00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:27,480
this low here and say, well, that's probably a reason for
607
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,930
it. But would you really look at that, after seeing this,
608
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,410
and in this movement through, you know, without this
609
00:37:34,410 --> 00:37:36,960
insight, chances are, you're probably not going to see this
610
00:37:37,050 --> 00:37:39,750
actual scenario. And that's the difference between
611
00:37:39,750 --> 00:37:43,440
understanding tape reading, and building context behind
612
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,250
price and also sticking with a bias. It's important to know
613
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:50,550
what a trading bias is for any given day. And anyone who
614
00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:53,370
tells you don't trade with a bias, they're the ones that are
615
00:37:53,370 --> 00:37:55,590
telling you that because they don't know how to do it. I've
616
00:37:55,590 --> 00:37:58,530
given them many examples on how you can arrive at a daily
617
00:37:58,530 --> 00:38:00,930
bias and you're not gonna get a deal. bias accurate every
618
00:38:00,930 --> 00:38:03,600
single day. So don't let me paint that picture for you. But
619
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,980
I can be in the Upper 90s in terms of my probabilities and
620
00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:13,410
directional bias. If you can get just 65 to 70% accuracy
621
00:38:13,770 --> 00:38:16,380
with your with your bias and then wait for conditions like
622
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:20,850
I'm showing you here, adding time of day, kill zones, daily
623
00:38:20,850 --> 00:38:26,040
bias, focusing with the Asian range. We've already looked at
624
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,900
power three, it builds the entire model for the daily range.
625
00:38:31,290 --> 00:38:33,840
And you are not surprised when certain things happen. In
626
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,660
fact, you're anticipating them before they happen. And by
627
00:38:36,660 --> 00:38:41,250
seeing day after day after day of doing this, you become
628
00:38:41,370 --> 00:38:41,850
much
629
00:38:41,850 --> 00:38:42,570
better at
630
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,830
well and terpening price action and forecasting, which is a
631
00:38:46,830 --> 00:38:49,440
skill set that you cannot learn from reading books or
632
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,470
watching my videos. You have to spend time in the charts.
633
00:38:52,740 --> 00:38:56,400
And if you do that, I promise you, you will glean more from
634
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:02,820
that than anything else that you would ever study. Hope you

enjoyed this presentation. If you did, you can find more at
