ICT Market Maker Primer Course - 24 - Secrets To Swing Trading.srt
1
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:13,590
ICT: folks, welcome back, this teachings coming up
2
00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:16,140
specifically dealing with secrets of swing trading.
3
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,890
All right swing trading, okay, the points of focus in this
4
00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:30,960
module will teach you how to map by conditions and
5
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,950
implementing the optimal trade entry. And we teaching you
6
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:38,250
how to map sell conditions and implement the optimal trade
7
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:46,200
entry. Okay, folks, we're looking at the Aussie dollar. This
8
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,530
is a daily chart. I'm going to be using this currency pair.
9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,020
This works on all currency pairs, all markets, all asset
10
00:00:55,020 --> 00:01:01,020
classes as well. So before we get into it, I think One of
11
00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:05,340
the most repeating questions I get, by way of folks that are
12
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:10,650
following me on Twitter, Facebook and on YouTube is they
13
00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:13,860
need to know or they feel they need to know, the daily bias.
14
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:19,110
What should I do today, if I just knew, ICT, if I just knew
15
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:22,950
what the bias is going to be tomorrow, I knew I would be
16
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:25,800
speed profitable in my demo account, I knew I'd see the
17
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:32,580
positive return in my time. And while there's several things
18
00:01:32,580 --> 00:01:37,440
that we can do to arrive at daily bias, in my mentorship, I
19
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,220
teach institutional order flow in great detail. But that's
20
00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:43,680
not what I'm teaching you here. But I will give you a real
21
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,410
quick approach that it's not going to be as time sensitive.
22
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,070
And by that, I mean, you won't catch the turning points with
23
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:57,090
it. Okay. You're going to get the meat of the moves. And
24
00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:00,750
that's all that's you're really required. Really they do
25
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:04,650
very well. There's other tools and concepts that we can use
26
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:10,260
to warn ourselves of potential turning points of the
27
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,340
likelihood of a reversal. But before we get into it, I just
28
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:17,190
wanted to make mention of that, because I know there's a lot
29
00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:21,450
of folks that see my videos, and they come away with the
30
00:02:21,450 --> 00:02:24,180
understanding that you have to have the bias every single
31
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:27,180
day. And you don't, you don't need to know that you just
32
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:30,720
need to know the few times a month, or a couple times a
33
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,710
week, when it's really loaded in one direction over the
34
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:37,740
other, and in trading those conditions. And I think if you
35
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:40,380
do that your demo account results would be much more
36
00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:44,880
encouraging. And your time spent practicing will be a lot
37
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,510
more fruitful. So when we look at price action, there's a
38
00:02:48,510 --> 00:02:51,780
couple things that I want to kind of remind you of. There
39
00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:55,230
are times when the market moves in trending environments
40
00:02:55,230 --> 00:02:57,750
where it moves directionally. Then the market goes into
41
00:02:57,750 --> 00:03:02,160
consolidation and then it trends again, Well, those two
42
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,260
conditions are very easy to see if you just relax and try
43
00:03:07,260 --> 00:03:13,410
not to overcomplicate it. Now, there are specific rules in
44
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,470
finding key support resistance levels. And we mentioned a
45
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:20,370
few of those in the higher timeframe concepts video that you
46
00:03:20,370 --> 00:03:25,620
should have watched prior to this one. But I believe that
47
00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:31,140
it's easier for me to teach you how to find the bias by
48
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:34,980
teaching you how to stay on the side of higher timeframe
49
00:03:35,130 --> 00:03:41,430
momentum. Okay. And while I am not a supporter, if you will,
50
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:47,040
of indicators, it's gonna seem sacrilegious for me to put an
51
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,580
indicator on my chart, like you're gonna see tonight, but I
52
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:56,220
think it's a good crutch. It helps traders find their way if
53
00:03:56,220 --> 00:04:02,190
you will, on a directionally Guess, trending environment. So
54
00:04:02,190 --> 00:04:06,360
the way I use this is I incorporate two moving averages.
55
00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:10,410
Okay, now I don't require using a moving average. But I
56
00:04:10,410 --> 00:04:12,240
think the smoothing effect
57
00:04:12,270 --> 00:04:16,410
of the moving average over price action on a higher time
58
00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:20,940
frame daily chart will help at least build an understanding
59
00:04:20,940 --> 00:04:24,390
of where you should. Really quickly just looking at chart
60
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:27,000
real quick with the moving averages, it'll help you stay on
61
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,970
one side of the marketplace. Now the benefit of it is only
62
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:34,020
derived at by having it on a daily chart. As soon as you
63
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:35,790
start applying this to like a five minute chart or a one
64
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:39,360
minute chart, the reliability really goes out the window in
65
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,350
my opinion. So why is there any significance of a moving
66
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:45,720
average or two moving averages placed on a daily chart?
67
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:49,020
Well, because the daily chart really is the most widely
68
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:53,160
followed chart in the banking sector. So when we're looking
69
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,710
for an intermediate term, level of momentum is going to be
70
00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:01,710
found on the daily chart. So if we want to be trading in
71
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,970
intermediate term momentum, and it's exactly where the banks
72
00:05:05,970 --> 00:05:09,210
are be looking at that timeframe, then it goes without
73
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:13,110
saying that there should be a high probability of well,
74
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,220
Confluence with that idea. And what we see in price action.
75
00:05:17,910 --> 00:05:22,590
So, I've taught in the past the nine and 18, and an 18 and
76
00:05:22,590 --> 00:05:28,830
40. But I'm going to give you one, it's really simple. And
77
00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:34,650
it's the 10 and 20 period. Okay, and the red line here, is
78
00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:36,540
going to delineate the 20 period.
79
00:05:38,820 --> 00:05:40,440
Okay, and
80
00:05:43,050 --> 00:05:48,060
the green level here is going to delineate the 10 level.
81
00:05:49,290 --> 00:05:54,030
Okay, so it's 10 period, and a 20, period, moving average.
82
00:05:55,020 --> 00:06:00,600
Okay. And I'll let you see what these settings are. So you
83
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,680
guys can relax and know what they are. It's exponential
84
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,560
moving average 20 period on the close. And the other one is
85
00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:16,830
a 10 period exponential on the close. Okay. So that way, you
86
00:06:16,830 --> 00:06:20,190
have everything that's on my chart now. Now on a daily
87
00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:23,820
chart, all we're looking for is preferably the market
88
00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:26,970
leaving a consolidation. I think everyone would agree that
89
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:30,090
this is consolidation here. And price has left the
90
00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:35,040
consolidation by breaking a swing high here, and also we
91
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,650
have the crossover on the moving average. So right there.
92
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,550
This is what I want you to do. This is how you map out your
93
00:06:41,550 --> 00:06:44,730
bullish. Well in this case, it's a bullish condition, and
94
00:06:44,730 --> 00:06:46,950
you drag that rectangle all the way up until a point of
95
00:06:46,950 --> 00:06:52,230
which where it crosses below the 2010 or 10 drops down
96
00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:57,420
below. We can't look for any buys in here after this point
97
00:06:57,420 --> 00:07:01,080
until we see the daily trade back above With the 10 period
98
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,200
above the 20, period, okay, it's a real simple little
99
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,030
momentum filter, okay? It's not to hang everything on it.
100
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,050
Okay, but for sake of finding swing trades, I'm going to
101
00:07:13,050 --> 00:07:15,180
incorporate a couple things here and you'll see how fast and
102
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:17,940
easy you can get to a bias trading on one side of the
103
00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:20,370
marketplace only, and incorporating some of the things I've
104
00:07:20,370 --> 00:07:24,210
already taught you. So we have the bias shifting to a
105
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:27,240
bullish condition here, with the 10 period going over the 20
106
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,790
period on the daily chart, again, it's important that you
107
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:32,790
only do this on the daily chart, try not to do this on your
108
00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:35,670
five and 15 in one minute charts. But we have this
109
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:39,180
condition, we can drop down into an hourly chart now why an
110
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:42,720
hourly chart, hourly chart to me is a real good swing
111
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,360
trading timeframe. Okay, so you'll be able to see everything
112
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,360
that's important from a weekly basis or daily basis. But to
113
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,900
me 60 minutes or more swing trading, ideal scenario. So what
114
00:07:54,900 --> 00:07:56,430
we're gonna do is we're going to go over here in the lower
115
00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:57,300
left hand corner,
116
00:07:57,629 --> 00:07:58,739
there's a little tiny
117
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,400
I guess it's a little half triangle. You drag that over to
118
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,730
the beginning of your shaded area that you've delineated, or
119
00:08:08,730 --> 00:08:14,310
the 10 crosses over the 20. And we're leaving, okay? A
120
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:18,450
consolidation we have breaking market structure here. So we
121
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:22,230
have potential bullishness, and it's as important the 10
122
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:26,160
period is pointing higher and 20 periods pointing higher.
123
00:08:26,490 --> 00:08:29,130
And the 10 is opening up and spreading away from the 20.
124
00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:32,820
Okay, this is called stalking. Okay, so whenever these two
125
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:36,720
averages are opening up and pointing up, it's stalking. When
126
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,330
it's bearish, like it is over here, when the 10 periods
127
00:08:39,330 --> 00:08:41,490
below the 20 period, and it's opening up and both are
128
00:08:41,490 --> 00:08:44,400
pointing down, again is called stalking, that's when the
129
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,180
conditions are optimal. Okay. So we have really strong
130
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:52,350
momentum here. Now if we drop down into a 60 minute chart,
131
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:56,220
it'll take us immediately down into the beginning of this
132
00:08:56,220 --> 00:08:59,850
shaded point here. Now here's where it's important that you
133
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,610
Along with the optimal trade entry, once we're in this
134
00:09:05,610 --> 00:09:13,650
shaded area, price has to be above the red line and have
135
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:18,120
moved away made a swing high. After an impulse leg moving
136
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,280
higher, so there's no words we have to see price moving
137
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,080
higher, above the red line. And we're gonna be looking for
138
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,230
optimal trade entries when it retraces back into a previous
139
00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:32,790
swing low. Here prices below the red line, we cannot take
140
00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:36,660
anything there. So we missed this move here, which is fine.
141
00:09:39,210 --> 00:09:42,690
If we look at this scenario back here, I kind of like want
142
00:09:42,690 --> 00:09:46,380
to bring your attention here. If we look at this, move up,
143
00:09:46,650 --> 00:09:50,280
if we drop our fib on that, I'm going to show you what you
144
00:09:50,310 --> 00:09:54,660
would have had to sit through if you did something like
145
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:59,520
this. Okay, here's your swing, impulse leg and optimal trade
146
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,780
entries down You have to sift through all of this before the
147
00:10:03,780 --> 00:10:07,770
finally the move takes place. Okay? I don't want you doing
148
00:10:07,770 --> 00:10:11,550
that. Even though this is a scenario that worked out pretty
149
00:10:11,550 --> 00:10:14,790
good and we've gotten a symmetrical price swing. That's not
150
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:18,780
the setup I want you to see, or at least hunt. What I want
151
00:10:18,780 --> 00:10:23,730
you to look for is when price is above the red 20 period,
152
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:27,450
and it makes an impulse leg and it comes back down to an
153
00:10:27,450 --> 00:10:30,900
optimal trade entry long. Okay, we don't have it here. I'm
154
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:33,060
going to spare you putting a fib on because this didn't get
155
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:36,720
down to it. And price has gone below the red line or below
156
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,560
the red line here.
157
00:10:39,630 --> 00:10:40,530
Okay, and
158
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,340
all through here, we're filtering we can't take anything
159
00:10:47,340 --> 00:10:52,380
here. And finally, watch what happens. We start seeing
160
00:10:52,530 --> 00:10:57,600
impulse swings. And price moves away from the red line comes
161
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,300
back to it. But now watch what happens. See we Have the
162
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:04,410
price dip below the 20. But the 10 has not crossed over. So
163
00:11:04,410 --> 00:11:08,760
this can happen on the one hour chart. Do not do this when
164
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,440
it doesn't on the daily chart price has to be above both the
165
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,180
20 and 10. But on the one hour price can stab below the red
166
00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:24,090
line during the retracement only valid when the 10 period
167
00:11:24,090 --> 00:11:26,490
has not crossed over the red though. So as soon as this
168
00:11:26,730 --> 00:11:31,440
occurs and the 10 period trades below, or marks below the 20
169
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,950
period moving average, if we get that crossover, we can't
170
00:11:34,950 --> 00:11:38,340
take too long. Okay. So we'll have the Fibonacci here.
171
00:11:40,410 --> 00:11:42,750
You're probably thinking, well, this has been several days
172
00:11:42,750 --> 00:11:45,090
now Michael Did you know it doesn't give me a trade every
173
00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:48,420
single day, right? This is just that one pair. So we have an
174
00:11:48,450 --> 00:11:51,600
impulse like here comes back down into optimal trade entry,
175
00:11:51,630 --> 00:11:54,780
perfect delivery. And we have symmetrical price swing here.
176
00:11:55,410 --> 00:11:59,100
Okay, really nice little swing trade here. And it started on
177
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:04,500
the 26th ends On the 27th so basically one day of a hold for
178
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:09,900
a nice little swing trade putting the trade on here at
179
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:20,940
around 7570 and getting out at approximately 7610. So not a
180
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:24,690
bad little move. You can leave a small portion one as it is
181
00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:29,160
swing trade and leave your stop down here. Okay? Do not
182
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,790
trail your stop loss. You want to be taking partials, okay.
183
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:35,910
And then once we get a run away from a consolidation like we
184
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:38,670
have here, price has to show a willingness to want to run.
185
00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:42,810
me remember inside this green shaded area, we are bullish on
186
00:12:42,810 --> 00:12:46,470
the daily. So we're anticipating this type of move here. We
187
00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:50,070
want to see it, you're starting to run higher. So when
188
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,650
consolidations occur, if we take that trade, we want to
189
00:12:52,650 --> 00:12:55,710
leave our stop loss in until we start leaving the
190
00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:58,680
consolidation. Okay, and then we can start trailing up
191
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:03,210
behind to swing lows from Mark action, and I'll explain that
192
00:13:03,210 --> 00:13:06,960
in a second. But taking a portion off here and then letting
193
00:13:06,990 --> 00:13:11,100
the remainder go, you can see how we have really nice
194
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:18,630
extensions up here at the 500%. And then price drops down in
195
00:13:18,630 --> 00:13:20,910
here so we can't take a new set up here but we can hold on
196
00:13:20,910 --> 00:13:26,280
to the when we did down here starts to run. And now we have
197
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,890
another one right in here. We have a potential swing up and
198
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:43,050
down. I'll show you that one. Hear me they're just the
199
00:13:43,050 --> 00:13:46,710
highest body close or open trades back down into it not
200
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:49,080
overshoots it a little bit. Okay cuz we are on a one hour
201
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,340
chart, and I'm not using the wick, but your stop loss would
202
00:13:53,340 --> 00:13:59,430
be below here. Looking close, but ultimately spreads I guess
203
00:13:59,430 --> 00:14:03,120
is symmetric Price when price drops down below the red line,
204
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,810
we can't take anything in here, no long trades in here. At
205
00:14:06,810 --> 00:14:09,630
the statement inside this green shaded area, we're looking
206
00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:12,900
for Long's so while price is below the red line, we can't
207
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:15,510
take anything along, we have to wait until price gets back
208
00:14:15,510 --> 00:14:19,590
above the red line as it does here, but then price goes
209
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:23,130
below the red line and so does the 10 period. So we can't
210
00:14:23,130 --> 00:14:27,120
take this scenario at the wait price trades higher this back
211
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,960
down. not deep enough for optimal trade entry in here so
212
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,220
nothing would have happened there. Price here gives us a
213
00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:39,630
nice little scenario and again, this is an hourly chart. So
214
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:43,440
there's a little bit more pips in this if you look at a 15
215
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,290
minute time frame or a five minute time frame. So here we
216
00:14:46,290 --> 00:14:51,120
have our impulse leg retraces optimal trade entry.
217
00:14:52,050 --> 00:14:55,500
symmetrical price when leave a little portion one Why?
218
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,990
Because we are inside that green shaded area and we're
219
00:14:57,990 --> 00:15:01,470
anticipating that daily chart to expand on upside. So this
220
00:15:01,470 --> 00:15:04,170
is an area where we could have taken another loan or we
221
00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:17,580
could have added more from our original position. Okay? And
222
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:20,790
we can't use this one even though we have equal highs what
223
00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:26,400
you know about this would be a run on that we could do a fit
224
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,240
from this level here up to this body, you'll see is actually
225
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,230
a perfect optimal trade entry but the filtering process, we
226
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:40,530
can't take it. So nothing there. Nothing there price trades
227
00:15:40,530 --> 00:15:42,780
below the red line can't trade there can't trade there.
228
00:15:44,909 --> 00:15:50,879
And price meander sideways and here. We get above it but
229
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:55,079
doesn't give us anything to trade there. And we're still
230
00:15:55,079 --> 00:15:57,119
below the red line can't take any trades. They're long.
231
00:15:57,599 --> 00:15:59,999
We're below the red line. We're still filtering out this
232
00:15:59,999 --> 00:16:02,999
Something you can go through all the majors with, okay, or
233
00:16:03,029 --> 00:16:05,009
if you'd like to trade exotics, which I don't like to do
234
00:16:05,009 --> 00:16:08,249
that in the States, I don't get to tax treatment for
235
00:16:08,249 --> 00:16:12,749
anything that's not coupled with $1. So you guys can look
236
00:16:12,749 --> 00:16:15,629
for every tool, every pair out there 20 pairs, you can go
237
00:16:15,629 --> 00:16:18,569
through this and find a scenario where a swing trade will be
238
00:16:18,569 --> 00:16:23,189
forming with this insight. And again, we're inside the green
239
00:16:23,189 --> 00:16:26,099
shaded area. So there's nothing we can do on terms of buy
240
00:16:26,099 --> 00:16:31,379
what prices below the red line. And we miss all that. Okay.
241
00:16:32,339 --> 00:16:34,709
Now we go back out to a daily timeframe. So we have a couple
242
00:16:34,709 --> 00:16:40,889
in there for swing trades, not an everyday trade. Okay. And
243
00:16:41,069 --> 00:16:46,889
this whole movement here was about a bet a month in two
244
00:16:46,889 --> 00:16:50,159
weeks or so. So we had a couple swing trading swing trades
245
00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:53,039
are about that length. They're not everyday trades. You want
246
00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:56,639
to put them on hold on for a while. Now we're gonna look at
247
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:03,029
when we look for mapping out a bearish condition. Okay, and
248
00:17:03,239 --> 00:17:06,929
we're going to look for the crossover here. And we're gonna
249
00:17:06,929 --> 00:17:10,739
drag that down until we get across over on the upside. And
250
00:17:10,739 --> 00:17:14,669
we'll change this to red. So that way everything inside this
251
00:17:14,699 --> 00:17:18,089
red shaded area, we will keep our focus on only looking for
252
00:17:18,089 --> 00:17:20,879
optimal trade entry sells, and prices. Whoa, that's a little
253
00:17:20,879 --> 00:17:27,329
too much now, isn't it? Let's do this. Let's go to Yeah,
254
00:17:27,329 --> 00:17:31,229
that's a little bit friendlier on the eye. All right. And,
255
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:35,729
again, we're in consolidation. So we want to see price
256
00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:38,699
breakdown on a moving average, yes, and show willingness to
257
00:17:38,699 --> 00:17:42,389
want to leave the consolidation that happens here comes back
258
00:17:42,389 --> 00:17:45,479
up, retest the consolidation. And now we can start to look
259
00:17:45,479 --> 00:17:47,669
for optimal trade entries right in here. So we're going to
260
00:17:47,669 --> 00:17:53,519
take this little toggle thing here, put it I'll start here
261
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:55,829
so you guys can see the contrast. But really, when we get
262
00:17:55,829 --> 00:17:58,079
about the 11th of October, that's when it wouldn't be an
263
00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:00,839
ideal scenario because every time you leave Want to wait for
264
00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:03,929
it to potentially retrace back to it much like we saw here,
265
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:06,929
it left the consolidate came back down, potentially
266
00:18:07,199 --> 00:18:10,859
retesting the point at which it left and then we can start
267
00:18:10,859 --> 00:18:14,969
seeing it really start to tear up higher. So we're going to
268
00:18:14,969 --> 00:18:16,499
drop down to an hourly chart now.
269
00:18:17,820 --> 00:18:18,510
And
270
00:18:19,770 --> 00:18:22,740
we can start looking for price staying below the red line
271
00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:28,140
and giving optimal trade entry sells, okay. Now notice we
272
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,390
can spike through it not like we just said before, when the
273
00:18:30,390 --> 00:18:34,320
buys but if we go through it, the 10 period has to remain
274
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,500
below it to cannot cross over. So we have an optimal trade
275
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:41,490
entry. So here and again, this is not an everyday setup,
276
00:18:42,030 --> 00:18:47,190
there's swings. So we have optimal trade entry here. body,
277
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:53,160
the body, sell 10s below the 20. You're both stacking. This
278
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,790
is a seller optimal trade entry. And target two is hit
279
00:18:56,820 --> 00:19:01,530
beautifully. Gonna leave a little portion on Stop up here.
280
00:19:02,370 --> 00:19:05,160
With swing trading, you do not want to aggressively trail
281
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,890
your stop, you want to be taking partials and looking to add
282
00:19:07,890 --> 00:19:15,840
new positions when you can. Here's another scenario. Okay,
283
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:17,790
Nope, can't do it. We're above the red line.
284
00:19:23,010 --> 00:19:28,950
And by the red line in here can't do that. Now we're above
285
00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:31,740
it for a long period of time. So it can't do anything till
286
00:19:31,740 --> 00:19:36,450
we get back below. It does it here. Price stays below it
287
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,560
climbed back above it. Again, we're in a sell scenario. So
288
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,850
we have to wait for price to get below both the red line and
289
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:54,840
see the 10 and 20 period, exponential stacking lower and we
290
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,720
have something in here. Let's take a look at that. We have
291
00:20:01,170 --> 00:20:05,400
swing high here, see that indecisive candle here and a
292
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,300
bullish up close candle and a lower close candle here. The
293
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:11,790
highest portion is the body on this one, we're gonna drag it
294
00:20:11,790 --> 00:20:17,190
down to this lowest body here trades at the optimal trade
295
00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:21,450
entry and we get target one falls short of target two. That
296
00:20:21,450 --> 00:20:23,700
does give us an optimal trade entry to sell there.
297
00:20:25,710 --> 00:20:26,580
And
298
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,700
the next ideal one is here. We have price below both moving
299
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,670
averages they're stacking here. It does punch up through it
300
00:20:35,670 --> 00:20:40,050
but we don't get the temporary to cross over. And we have to
301
00:20:46,829 --> 00:20:50,849
put that down right on the lowest body portion here comes up
302
00:20:51,059 --> 00:20:55,619
next to 260 2% retracement level. There's a sell, we could
303
00:20:55,619 --> 00:21:00,749
look for. Target one, target two symmetrical To our
304
00:21:00,749 --> 00:21:04,649
extension eventually. Here's another one in here, where
305
00:21:04,649 --> 00:21:09,959
price trades back up to here, but we cross over, so we're
306
00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:12,509
probably not going to take that one, we had to hold on to
307
00:21:12,509 --> 00:21:18,869
the original one we had up here. And another one. We don't
308
00:21:18,869 --> 00:21:24,209
get up high enough to get into that one. It didn't retrace
309
00:21:24,209 --> 00:21:27,899
deep enough there. So we would still be holding some portion
310
00:21:27,899 --> 00:21:32,369
one that we entered back there. And we don't have anything
311
00:21:32,369 --> 00:21:39,359
here. And price goes back above the red line starts
312
00:21:39,629 --> 00:21:46,679
consolidating. And then we have price really not doing too
313
00:21:46,679 --> 00:21:51,419
much. So I think that Fibonacci also it's clear to see
314
00:21:51,419 --> 00:21:56,669
what's going on. And price starts to move back in our favor
315
00:21:56,669 --> 00:22:00,659
here. Again, we're waiting for the scenario. This is what
316
00:22:00,659 --> 00:22:08,699
you'd look for you wait for these types of setups here, so
317
00:22:08,699 --> 00:22:12,209
we have both the averages moving lower, even though we spike
318
00:22:12,209 --> 00:22:15,479
through the red line, the 10 period has not crossed over the
319
00:22:15,479 --> 00:22:19,679
20. Looking for inside this red shaded area again we're
320
00:22:19,679 --> 00:22:22,829
anticipating that daily chart to expand going lower. So we
321
00:22:22,829 --> 00:22:26,939
put our short on here, stop will be above the high here and
322
00:22:26,969 --> 00:22:30,389
we can see target one, target two symmetrical price swing
323
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:34,919
beautifully hit. Eventually later on, we get to our
324
00:22:34,919 --> 00:22:38,789
extension hit. We have another scenario. Now even though we
325
00:22:38,819 --> 00:22:42,359
spiked through the 10 period has not crossed over the 20
326
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,969
period. So everything is still valid here.
327
00:22:46,230 --> 00:22:47,400
Awesome trade entry sell.
328
00:22:48,810 --> 00:22:53,130
Target one hit target to hit. Eventually symmetrical price
329
00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:57,900
swing is hit as well. And we can hold on to a portion now we
330
00:22:57,900 --> 00:23:01,140
have a consolidation and pricing leaves a consolidation,
331
00:23:01,290 --> 00:23:03,540
then and only then do we consider looking to lower
332
00:23:03,810 --> 00:23:08,310
protective stop loss. And I'll just bring it over here a
333
00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:14,370
little bit. And we don't go anything more towards an optimal
334
00:23:14,370 --> 00:23:18,180
trade entry until we start seeing price back above the red
335
00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:22,800
line. And now we're consolidating again. I think we're
336
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:30,000
probably gonna run a sell condition before. Long. Yes, we
337
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,860
have another one in here. Here's a nice one. We have a nice
338
00:23:34,860 --> 00:23:37,590
swing high here. Price trades down.
339
00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:41,340
Right to here.
340
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:45,719
Optimal trade entry sell. And we can see some metal price
341
00:23:45,719 --> 00:23:49,559
swing, boom, really nice little swing trade there. Price
342
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:52,229
trades above the red line. So we're on the sidelines until
343
00:23:52,229 --> 00:23:56,219
we get back in sync. Again, right in here. Another scenario.
344
00:23:59,129 --> 00:24:02,189
So what this does is actually gives us a context to work
345
00:24:02,189 --> 00:24:03,389
within only use this
346
00:24:03,930 --> 00:24:04,620
body here.
347
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,770
And we're going to drag it down to the lowest open or close,
348
00:24:10,770 --> 00:24:14,010
which is right there. Optimal trade entry right there sell
349
00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:17,490
beautiful expense expansion down to set magical price one
350
00:24:17,490 --> 00:24:22,320
and 200 extension. And doesn't give us much more below that
351
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:25,020
before we started on consolidating and back above the red
352
00:24:25,020 --> 00:24:27,870
line. So we're in neutral, and then everything has reversed
353
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,770
until recent current price action now. So you can see it
354
00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:35,010
gives you a context to work within. Now it's not perfect,
355
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,010
nothing's ever gonna be perfect, but it gives you a quick
356
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:42,240
down and dirty way to apply two simple moving averages a 20
357
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:45,840
and 10 period exponential moving average on a daily and on
358
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,530
an hourly chart. And it frames your context of what's of the
359
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:53,430
marketplace should you be waiting to only trade on now. Go
360
00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:55,740
back through here and you'll see obviously there's a few
361
00:24:55,740 --> 00:25:01,710
times where if we are innocent environment where we're in
362
00:25:01,710 --> 00:25:04,860
the red shaded area. The ideal scenario would be to be
363
00:25:04,860 --> 00:25:09,570
looking for selling short. But right away, you can look for
364
00:25:09,660 --> 00:25:14,040
like this here this scenario, this is a buy here and that
365
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,960
runs up. What would this be? If it's not a swing trade? What
366
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,180
could this potentially be? Just throw this in here as a
367
00:25:21,180 --> 00:25:25,200
bonus. This could be a day trade. Okay, you could be a day
368
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,020
trader here because it's counter what you're waiting for for
369
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:30,960
swing trade going short. You see these scenarios? Well, you
370
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,170
can take along Why? Because you have equal highs here. Okay,
371
00:25:34,170 --> 00:25:38,340
what's, what's the high on this candle? 7830. So what's 20
372
00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:43,440
pips above that? 7850 Okay, so we could look for an area to
373
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:53,040
go up to there. Okay, so we could be a buyer here and take
374
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,090
our profits here. Okay, or we can look over here and take a
375
00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:59,910
portion of it off here and leave a small portion on the
376
00:25:59,910 --> 00:26:03,150
scene. get around about 1020 pips above that as a day
377
00:26:03,150 --> 00:26:07,110
traders mindset, okay that type of thing. So we can do
378
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:10,110
things both directions even though we have a cell model,
379
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,170
okay or a cell program that we working inside of with this
380
00:26:13,470 --> 00:26:17,610
red shaded area relative to the daily chart, okay? doesn't
381
00:26:17,610 --> 00:26:20,040
negate you not being able to do anything it just means it
382
00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:22,920
for a swing trade, you have to wait for price to give you
383
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:29,040
scenarios as we outlined for bearishness here, okay, optimal
384
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,930
trade entry So, and then leaving portions on a lot longer
385
00:26:33,930 --> 00:26:36,300
than you would with day trades. So in other words, for a
386
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:39,150
swing trade, you can take off like 50% leave the remaining
387
00:26:39,150 --> 00:26:41,820
50% on one or two day trade if it goes to your first
388
00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:45,000
objective. You want to take about 75 to 80% off and leave a
389
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,680
small portion on because it's a day trade. So I think this
390
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,770
is going to pretty much do this video here and watch it a
391
00:26:52,770 --> 00:26:56,340
couple times. You'll see it's not complicated. It's not, you
392
00:26:56,340 --> 00:27:00,150
know, acrobatics, it's very simple approach to using A
393
00:27:00,150 --> 00:27:03,210
retail tool, a moving average. But let me just tell you,
394
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,360
moving averages are actually used on large funds and they're
395
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:09,570
trend falling in nature. So the reason why I'm telling you
396
00:27:09,570 --> 00:27:12,840
how to use it like this, because this is very close to one
397
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,470
of the long term trending models that a large fund uses that
398
00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:22,770
I know. Okay, folks, hopefully you've enjoyed this
